All Buyer’s must be in “good standing” to participate in an Auction including: a) having no unpaid invoices, b) not having any history of multiple unpaid invoices, c) not having any history of breaching these Terms of Sale, and d) not having any history of delay in performance (e.g. non-prompt pickup) or other activity detrimental to Centurion. Centurion affiliates and related parties may participate in auctions. All Buyers agree that all items/lots will be sold at an auction on the day(s) advertised or announced by Centurion to the highest bidder or bidders in person, or on-line via an internet website live simulcast or timed auction (the “Auction”), for immediately available funds in accordance with customary auction terms and conditions, applicable law or regulation and more specifically, subject to these Terms of Sale. To receive a bid card and participate in the Auction, all Buyers MUST make a deposit of immediately available funds of two thousand dollars ($2,000) (i.e. via ACH; submit a personal or company check with a bank letter guaranteeing unqualified payment for any purchases; present a valid credit card against which the deposit will be taken, or at Centurion’s option accept a credit card authorization rather than an actual charge for the deposit), provided, however, historic Buyers in “good standing” may not have to make such deposit. Additionally, Buyers must submit a valid government issued identification or documentation matching the form of payment and Buyer registration. This deposit will be held for at least ten (10) business days (the “Initial Deposit Period”). Following the Initial Deposit Period, as long as a Buyer is in good standing, it can request Centurion apply the deposit against a purchase price and the balance, if any, will be charged to the credit card used for the deposit or will be immediately due and payable in immediately available funds. Otherwise, the deposit will be held and will be applied against the final invoice after a bidder withdraws from Centurion auctions and the balance, if any, will be charged to the credit card used for the deposit or will be immediately due and payable in immediately available funds. Any Buyer wanting to use a different method of payment must contact Centurion’s offices and make the necessary arrangements at least five (5) days prior to the Auction. Auctioneers may, at their sole discretion, without reason or notice of any kind, request an additional deposit from any Buyer before such Buyer may bid, or continue bidding during the Auction. Any rejected payment will be subject to reasonable fees including an insufficient funds fee of $35 for up to three (3) attempts and all other actual costs or expenses. Any late payment will be subject to interest accruing at the daily rate based on 1.5% per month. Within the earlier of three (3) days of the Auction or the immediately subsequent Friday, all purchases must be paid in full by immediately available funds (ACH, cash, cashier’s check, certified funds or credit card, if applicable, made payable to Centurion). Bank wire transfers to the account of Centurion will be accepted by prior arrangement only. All sales at the Auction are final. For all Buyers using credit cards, the bid deposits charged at registration will be applied to the Buyer’s Purchase Price and the balance due, if any, will be charged to the same credit card or will be immediately due and payable in immediately available funds. If there is an excess balance it will be refunded back to the same credit card. An administrative expense fee of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) per day will be charged beginning the close of the Pick Up Date and this will be increased by $3 per Lot for each day thereafter until picked up by Buyer for Sales Price ranges of $0 – $50,000. For a Sales Price range of $50,000 – $100,000, such fees will be 2x; $100,000 – $250,000, such fees will be 3x; and, above $250,000 such fees will be 4x. The parties agree this is a reasonable fee to account for administrative services, storage, and otherwise and it is not a penalty. All applicable sales, use, transfer or excise taxes arising from a sale at Auction in accordance with local and/or state law will be charged to the successful Buyers and added to the amount of the successful Buyer’s winning bid, along with the Buyer’s Premium (“Buyer’s Purchase Price”). No purchases may be removed until after conclusion of the Auction and full settlement of payment. Placing of a bid by Buyer is a commitment to purchase and binding on Buyer, its principals, agents, successors and assigns upon acceptance of such bid by Auctioneer. Successful Buyers or their agent(s) must pay for, accept delivery, and remove the items/lots purchased in accordance with these Terms of Sale. Buyers are solely responsible for any necessary de-installing, packaging, loading, removing and/or shipping of the items/lots purchased and must proceed diligently in such removal.

At Centurion’s sole option and discretion, it will attempt to mitigate a Buyer’s default by resale, re-auction or otherwise dispose of the abandoned items/lots for scrap pricing (“Centurion Mitigation Price”.) Buyer will be responsible to Centurion for the entire difference between the Buyer’s Purchase Price and the Centurion Mitigation Price, plus all additional administrative fees as provided in these Terms of Sale, plus any and all of Centurion’s damages, costs, and expenses, if any, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Centurion in any collection procedure.

Buyers are advised to pre-arrange insurance coverage of their purchases as of the award of the successful bid that occurs during the Auction. Buyers are responsible for all risk of loss, damage and/or personal injury caused by removal, and all costs of removal of items/lots purchased. A certificate of insurance reflecting adequate insurance coverage holding Auctioneers, owners and landlords (if applicable) harmless against any damage must be furnished to the Auctioneer at Auctioneer’s sole discretion and request prior to such removal.

Auctioneers shall have the right at any time to offer a complete facility or the entire balance of remaining items/lots as a single lot or any grouping of lots in any manner it chooses. The advances, progression, and rules in the bidding shall be regulated at the sole discretion of the Auctioneers. Auctioneers reserve the right to review proxies for maximum bids, prefer floor bidders over internet bidders. And the right not to acknowledge or accept any bid which is merely a fractional advance over the preceding bid. Auctioneers further reserve the right to refuse any bid for any reason or to bid on their own behalf. In the event of a tie, the Auctioneer, at his, her, or its sole discretion may reopen the bidding to determine the highest bidder. ALL ITEMS/LOTS IN THE AUCTION ARE PURCHASED “AS IS” AND “WHERE IS” IRRESPECTIVE OF CONDITION, WEAR, DAMAGE, AND WITH ALL FAULTS. All sales of items/lots are final and without any warranty, guarantee or representation of any kind or nature whatsoever, either express or implied, written or oral, as to the design, condition, merchantability, fitness for any particular purpose, quality, capacity, workmanship, or that any items/lots will satisfy the requirements of any law, rule or regulation. More specifically, Centurion disclaims, and all other parties hereby waive, all representations and warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to, any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, those arising from trade usage or course of dealing, and of non-infringement. The entire risk as to quality and performance is with Buyer. It is Buyer’s sole responsibility to provide proper safety devices and equipment or the means to meet all government safety standards or any other laws, including any environmental protection or other public protection laws or regulations. Buyer specifically relieves, releases, indemnifies and holds Centurion and when applicable, asset owners and sellers harmless, from and against any and all responsibility, damages, claims, fines, penalties, judgments, actions, lawsuits, and/or liability of every kind and nature, including without limitation payment of Centurion’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, in connection with or as a result of any breach of Buyer’s obligations, duties or responsibilities described herein or for violation of any provision of these Terms of Sale or the Auction rules either posted or as announced by Auctioneer. In the event Centurion must enforce these Terms of Sale against Buyer in a court of law, in addition to all other available remedies, Buyer will be responsible for Centurion’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Quantities, descriptions, weights, measurements, dimensions, serial and machine numbers, year and model set out on the items/lots in the Auction brochures, catalogues, any advertisements and/or invoices are believed to be accurate. However, the Auctioneer’s, owners, or advertising counsel are not responsible or liable for any discrepancies, inaccuracies or failure of the items/lots to correspond with any written or verbal representation of such information made by or on behalf of either the Auctioneers or owner, or any perceived or expected standard or custom, or any other particulars such as the genuineness or authenticity of any items/lots. No item/lot shall be sold or deemed sold by description or such information and Buyer shall not be entitled to rely thereon. All such information is given by way of identification only and no warranty, condition, representation or guarantee is made, given or is to be implied. The Auctioneer and/or owner are not responsible or liable for any damage or loss (direct, indirect, consequential or otherwise) arising as a result of any inaccuracy in respect thereof. It is therefore recommended that all Buyers avail themselves for inspection. Sellers are responsible for the removal of individually identifiable information and for complying with all laws, rules, and regulations including as related to environmental matters, biohazards, and controlled substances. Centurion cannot guarantee Sellers have complied prior to sale. If a Buyer discovers any non-compliance, Buyers shall take all commercially reasonable actions to mitigate any potential damage and shall hold harmless, indemnify, and defend Centurion in connection with the same.
