SUSPENSION / PERMANENT BAN: A Bidder will be suspended or permanently banned from the Site for providing false or fraudulent information when registering. A Bidder will be permanently banned from this Site for failing to honor an auction bid made under that Bidder's bid number - this will include not picking up your items within the load out times or making arrangements to remove items from the auction site by the dates posted and given for load out and pickup deadlines.

ITEM DESCRIPTIONS: The descriptions of items or lots appearing in the auction and in advertising are believed to be correct and every effort has been made in preparing the catalog for this auction to provide accurate descriptions of all items. All lots are sold with all faults, imperfections and errors of description. Due diligence is the responsibility of the bidder/buyer. Printed statements or descriptions by staff are provided in good faith and are matters of opinion. Copper State Auctions acknowledges that some information may be inaccurate or incomplete. Nevertheless, neither those descriptions nor any oral statements made by Owner/Seller or Copper State Auctions. Concerning any items or lots shall be construed as a warranty either express or implied. ITEMS AND LOTS ARE SOLD AS IS - WHERE IS and WITH ALL FAULTS. Bidder acknowledges caveat emptor and Owner/Seller strongly encouraged Bidder to carefully inspect each item or lot to determine the nature, quality, condition, quantity and size of the item or lot. Bidders must rely solely on personal inspection and not on information listed on the Site or otherwise provided by Copper State Auctions or Owner/Seller. The IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANT ABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, ARE SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED from this sale and transaction and shall NOT apply to the merchandise that is the subject of these sales. Copper State Auctions cannot guarantee the authenticity and quality of said product. Auctioneer is not responsible for the actions the Sellers and Buyers take before, during, and after the auction. Use of this site is at your own risk. Some states do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you.

COMPLIANCE AND PROPERTY: Copper State Auctions conducts all auctions according to, and in compliance with, the Uniform Commercial Code §2-326, §2-328 and the Uniform Sales Act. In addition, as required by statute, we coordinate with local law enforcement agencies regarding the origin and background of stolen property in respect to the sale of all goods offered at our auctions.

BIDDING: Your bid on this auction indicates both an understanding and an acceptance of the terms of this contractual agreement between you, as the Bidder, and both Copper State Auctions and the Seller. Your bid further indicates that you, as the Bidder, are prepared to purchase items under these terms and conditions.

ONLINE, PROXY AND ABSENTEE MAXIMUM BID: When you bid your maximum bid, the current bid price does not automatically advance to your maximum bid unless a previous higher bid has already been placed. Another bidder has to bid to increase the current price and the computer, or if a live sale, a proxy, will automatically bid up to your maximum in the increments specified.

ONLINE AUTO EXTEND FEATURE: If an auction receives a bid in the last five minutes, the ending time for that auction will automatically be extended by five minutes and can continue indefinitely. Once five minutes have passed without any bidding, the item will close to additional bidding. This feature prevents "sniping" or electronic bid rigging and allows all bidders an equal opportunity to be the high bidder, if they so choose.

ONLINE STAGGARED CLOSE FEATURE: Lots will close, beginning with lot number 1, at the stated closing time. Successive lots are scheduled to close at a time that is approximately 20 seconds later than the previous lot. For example, if a published closing time of an auction is 6:00pm, lot number 1 will close at 6:00:00pm, lot 2 will close at 6:00:20pm, lot 3 will close at 6:00:40 and so on. This allows bidders to opportunity to review bids prior to a specific lot closing. This process can be extended indefinitely past the staggared closing time as described in the above section titled, "Auto Extend Feature."

All items/lots/property also know as "Good's" are sold "As Is, Where Is" without any warranty or guarantee, either expressed or implied by the seller, auctioneer, auction company or its agents. Goods offered for sale are described and include titles and descriptions believed to be accurate, however do not rely on catalog descriptions as a substitute for provenance or title. Your bid is a contract to purchase goods offered and all sales are final. No Adjustments to Price or Refunds Will Be Given.

AUCTION WITH RESERVE: This is an auction without reserve prices. Per Uniform Commercial Code, an auction "with reserve" is one in which the seller or his agent reserves the right to establish a minimum bid, accept or reject any and/or all bids, and withdraw the property at any time prior to the announcement of the completion of the sale by the auctioneer. Sellers reserve the right to bid on all auctions. Auctioneers and their employees reserve the right to bid on their own, or the Seller's behalf.
