Bidder and Buyer agrees that Auctioneer and the Escrow Agent shall not be responsible or liable in any way and Bidder and Buyer hereby release Auctioneer and the Escrow Agent from and indemnify them against (to the greatest extent permitted by law) any and all claims of any nature relating to the Property, the condition of the Property, the Seller's inability or refusal to comply with the provisions of any information, these Terms and Conditions, or the Contract of Sale and any other claims or damages that may be a result of Auctioneer's engagement by Seller and the sale and marketing of the Property.

SELLER'S REMEDIES:
If defaults under these Terms and Conditions, Bidder shall be responsible to Seller for the damages in the amount of 25% of Bidder's highest bid at auction (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty), together with all attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses incurred by Seller in collection efforts, as Seller's sole remedy. Bidder agrees that for purposes of any damage calculation in the event Bidder fails to make any deposit payment, or if Bidder defaults in any manner under these Terms and Conditions, 25% of Bidder's highest bid at auction is agreed upon by Seller and Bidder as liquidated damages due to the difficulty and inconvenience of ascertaining and measuring actual damages and the uncertainty thereof. . Further, if after the auction Buyer fails to complete a deposit payment or settlement as provided in these Terms and Conditions for any reason other than Seller's default, or defaults in any manner under these Terms and Conditions, the Seller, in addition to retaining the Deposit (and any interest and cost of collection with respect thereto) may undertake any and all legal and equitable actions, including without limitation, a suit for specific performance or for damages. At no time after a default by Bidder or Buyer shall Seller be restricted from selling the Property in any manner it deems appropriate. Seller shall also be entitled to recover from Bidder all attorneys' fees and cost of litigation (including expert fees) incurred in connection with any claim between Bidder or Buyer and Seller where Seller is the substantially prevailing party. Seller and Buyer agree that upon a default of Buyer, the damages that would be sustained by Seller will be uncertain and not readily ascertainable. In addition to any damages owed to Seller, any breach that prevents a closing from occurring shall result in your being liable to Auctioneer for an amount equal to 15% of the Purchase Price bid at auction plus all of Auctioneer's out of pocket fees associated with the auction, as liquidated damages (such amount also being a fair and accurate measure of actual damages).

BUYER'S REMEDIES:
If Seller is in default under these Terms and Conditions for failure to comply with any one or more of the material terms or conditions of these Terms and Conditions or an executed Contract of Sale and such failure continues for more than thirty (30) business days after Seller's receipt of written notice and opportunity to cure, Buyer's sole remedy shall be limited to either: (i) terminate this Contract by written notice delivered to Seller on or before the Closing, in which event Buyer shall be entitled to the full return of the Deposit only; or (ii) waive such defaults and proceed to Closing if Seller is able and willing to Close. Buyer hereby knowingly waives any and all right to institute any action, claim or suit for damages against Seller with respect to any default by Seller under these Terms and Conditions.
