Using YOUR knowledge and experience, form your own opinion of the property/goods/auction items and bid accordingly. If you are in doubt, DO NOT BID. All items are sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS with NO WARRANTY; this is an AUCTION and all SALES ARE FINAL. Bids cannot be retracted and are binding contracts between Bidder and Auctioneer/Seller. Bidders are accountable for being informed about the and associated costs before bidding. A maximum bid can be placed on property/goods/auction items.

All questions or disputes must be resolved immediately; no changes or adjustments will be made at a later date. The Auctioneer reserves the right to reopen bidding.

BUYER'S PREMIUM:
A buyer's premium will be charged on each purchase. A buyer's premium, an advertised percentage of the high bid or flat fee added to the high bid, will be added to the high bid and become part of the purchase amount at settlement. The hammer strike price plus the buyer's premium constitutes the �total purchase price�. Sales tax is charged on the total purchase price. The Buyer agrees to these provisions and will pay the applicable buyer's premium. SEE THE �PAYMENT/SETTLEMENT� SECTION FOR THE BUYER�S PREMIUM ASSESSED FOR THIS AUCTION SALE.

TAXES:
Buyer must also pay Auctioneer on or before the final settlement date, all sales, export, heavy duty diesel, use and other taxes due to any federal, state or local taxing authority (the �Taxes�) as a result of Buyer�s purchase, including without limitation, any taxes arising from any Buyer�s Premium.

To receive the benefit of any tax exemption, Buyer must supply Auctioneer with a sales tax exemption certificate acceptable in form, scope and substance to Auctioneer in Auctioneer�s sole discretion. This may include a properly executed and valid reseller certificate that qualifies the Buyer for exemption in the state where the purchased items are located, or, where applicable, a common carrier bill of lading reflecting a shipment directly out of state from the property location. No property will be released to the Buyer unless settlement is made in full, and tax has been paid or acceptable exemption documents have been provided. No taxes will be refunded once collected.

In the event of a conflict, Buyer will be responsible to pay the sales tax to Auctioneer and seek reimbursement directly from the appropriate state taxing authority. Local tax rate will be applied to all invoices without proper tax exemption documentation.

TAXES will be charged on both the purchase price and buyer's premium.

Exemptions:
1. Any tax exemption claims for in-person/onsite or hybrid auctions involving onsite bidders must be accompanied by the proper credentials at time of settlement on the day of the auction sale.

2. Any tax exemption claims for online bidders must be submitted via email to TAXEXEMPT@TOPAUCTIONEERS.COM PRIOR TO THE CLOSE OF THE FINAL AUCTION LOT OR ITEM ON THE DAY OF THE AUCTION SALE. This is strictly enforced by the timestamp within that email in order to promptly and accurately reconcile/invoice online bidders according the proper settlement amount. (ZERO TOLERANCE)
