52 Whipple Road, Kittery, Maine 26PM-23
GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS
AGENT OF THE ADMININISTRATOR: Paul McInnis LLC is acting solely as an Agent of the Estate Representative.

BIDDER REGISTRATION: In order to bid online, any prospective bidder must first request and review the property information package including the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The next step is to create an online bidding account at auction.paulmcinnis.com/auctions and “Accept the Terms” of the particular auction you wish to bid on. Finally, submit your required Bidder Deposit to the Auctioneer.

BIDDER DEPOSIT: At the time of registration, you will be required to deliver your refundable Bidder Deposit of $10,000 either by physical check or E-check. By registering to bid you understand and agree that if you are not the successful bidder, this deposit will be returned to you. If you are the successful bidder and you fail to comply with the terms of the auction (specifically signing the Real Estate Purchase & Sale Agreement and delivering the required earnest money deposit by Wednesday, July 1st at 1:00 p.m.) you hereby authorize the Auction Company to retain your $10,000 Bidder Deposit as a NON-REFUNDABLE, NON-COMPLIANCE FEE in the amount of $10,000 U.S. dollars.

To deliver the Bidder Deposit by physical check, you may deliver the $10,000 Bidder Deposit to our office. To deliver your Bidder Deposit by E-check you will do so through EARNNEST. EARNNEST is a digital payment platform. You can find the link on the Auctioneer’s website or by clicking here. Once your Bidder Deposit has been received, your online bidding account has been created, you have accepted the terms, and Paul McInnis LLC has determined that you have met all the requirements, Paul McInnis LLC will activate your account, allowing you to place bids when the bidding has opened.

Please note that Paul McInnis LLC will make our best effort to respond to your request within three hours during normal business hours of Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST. The Bidder Deposit should be received by the Auctioneer no later than 24 hours prior to the close of bidding. The Auctioneer in his sole and absolute discretion reserves the right to decline a bidder if all requirements have not been met prior to the 24-hour deadline.

RETURN OF BIDDER DEPOSIT: Unsuccessful bidder deposits will be returned to the bidder by U.S. Mail or through EARNNEST.

ONLINE BIDDING: The bidding will open on Friday, June 26th, and the bidding will end on Tuesday, June 30th at 1:00 p.m. subject to extended bidding. Bid increments are shown on the bidding portal. It is the bidder’s responsibility to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of their bid(s). Bidders are encouraged not to wait until the last minute to place a bid. Online bidding is subject to technical difficulties that can develop at any time. Please be aware that you must manually type in your bid prior to placing your bid. Any activity from bidders will extend the bid. Events such as increasing your maximum bid even without placing a bid will trigger this event.

TIMED AUCTION EXTENDED BIDDING: A timed auction event refers to the opening and ending time for placing bids. When a bid is placed within two minutes of the auction ending (12:58) the bid time window will extend for an additional two minutes. During that additional two-minute window if a bid is placed it will be extended again and so on. This is done to prevent bid "sniping." This process can go on indefinitely. Even though the auction is set to end at 1:00 p.m. the bidding could be extended to 2:00 p.m. or longer depending on the activity from the bidders.

DUE DILIGENCE: It is the bidder’s responsibility to undertake their own due diligence and inspection of the property prior to placing any bids. A complete review of the property information package (with and additional links) including the real estate Purchase & Sale Agreement Sample with your attorney is encouraged. Buyer understands that this sale is not contingent on financing or inspection.

PROPERTY CONDITIONS: Except as expressly set forth in the real estate Purchase & Sale Agreement, if and when executed, the property is being sold "AS IS," "WHERE IS," and "WITH ALL FAULTS," as of the closing date. Neither the Estate Representative, Paul McInnis LLC nor any of their agents, contractors, attorneys, officers or directors ("agents") makes any representations or warranties with respect to the physical condition of the land or any improvements thereon, the property’s fitness for any particular purpose, the property’s merchantability, or any other warranty, express or implied.

The Estate Representative, Paul McInnis LLC and their agents specifically disclaim any warranty, guaranty, or representation, oral or written, past or present, express or implied concerning the land and any improvements thereon. Bidders are expected to undertake their own independent physical inspection of the property, and public records, and thorough review of all documents prior to submitting their bid(s) and to submit their bid(s) based solely on their own independent investigations and findings including but not limited to bidders’ own independent investigation of the uses, code compliance and land use regulatory approvals necessary for redevelopment and not in reliance on any information provided by the Estate Representative, Paul McInnis LLC or their agents.

BUYER’S PREMIUM: A 10% (Ten Percent) Buyer’s Premium will be added to the successful Bid Price to become the Total Purchase Price. Example: $Bid Price + 10% of $Bid Price = $Total Purchase Price due from the Buyer at Closing, less any Earnest Money Deposit.

SUCCESSFUL BIDDER: The successful bidder is defined as, that registered bidder who placed the highest bid as declared by the Auctioneer and the highest bid being acceptable to the Estate Representative. The successful bidder will be notified via email, as well as by telephone confirmation by the Auctioneer.

REAL ESTATE PURCHASE & SALE AGREEMENT: A copy of the agreement is included in the property information package. PLEASE REVIEW it carefully or have your attorney review it. The successful bidder is required to sign the real estate Purchase & Sale Agreement together with all Estate Representative’s disclosure forms without any changes or additional terms and deliver 10% of the total purchase price as the earnest money deposit to the office of the Auctioneer no later than Wednesday, July 1st at 1:00 p.m. less the Bidder Deposit already received. Only the Buyer’s Name, Bid Price, Buyer’s Premium, Total Purchase Price, Earnest Money Deposit and the Balance Due Amount will be entered into the real estate Purchase & Sale Agreement.

EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT: The successful bidder must tender a deposit in the amount of 10% of the total purchase price which is due no later than Wednesday, July 1st, at 1:00 p.m. less the Bidder Deposit already received.

SUCCESSFUL BIDDER DEFAULT: Should the successful bidder fail to execute the real estate Purchase & Sale Agreement and deliver the earnest money deposit in a timely manner as outlined in these general terms & conditions, said bidder will be deemed to be in default and hereby authorize the Auction Company to retain your $10,000 bidding deposit as a NON-REFUNDABLE, NON-COMPLIANCE FEE in the amount of $10,000 U.S. dollars.

RESERVATION OF RIGHTS: Sale is subject to confirmation of the Estate Representative. The Estate Representative in his sole and absolute discretion may enter into a contract with the next highest bidder should the highest accepted bidder default.
