All items offered for sale ("Items") are offered by B. Riley Wholesale & Industrial Solutions, LLC (“Agent”), as an agent of the owner of such Items (“Seller”), subject to the following terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions”), which, combined with any supplemental or revised terms posted in materials, on the web, as announced by Agent at the time of sale, or as contained on any invoice, bill of sale, or similar document (“Sale Specific Terms”), constitute the complete terms of sale (“Terms of Sale”) that govern any sale by Agent to the buyer of Items (“Buyer”). References to “Landlord(s)” throughout these terms shall be defined to include the property owners of each sale location upon which Items are located (“Premises”).

1.)      Registration.

All persons participating in a sale must register to become eligible to participate in the sale and must provide complete and accurate information as required by Agent. This information may be used as necessary to ensure Buyer’s fulfillment of its obligations as set forth herein. Information obtained at the time of registration will also opt Buyer into Agent’s sale notification system, which Buyer may opt out of by following the instructions at the bottom of each sale notice. Buyer’s information will not be sold, or otherwise shared with other companies, except for the Seller and those parties as may be dictated by the rules governing the sale process.

2.)      Deposits, Credit Card Holds, and Payments.

Credit cards may be accepted for the initial deposit or cred card hold, if any, from online Buyers up to and during the sale on the following conditions: 1) Buyer grants Agent the irrevocable right to authorize Buyer’s credit card for the minimum deposit or cred card hold and such subsequent amounts as are necessary to secure Buyer’s purchases; 2) Buyer grants Agent the irrevocable right to capture the authorizations on Buyer’s credit card to secure Buyer’s purchases; 3) Buyers acknowledges that a credit card authorization shall not be sufficient to secure purchases over $10,000, and therefore shall provide any additional deposit or cred card hold necessary in one of the other Acceptable Payment Forms (defined below) 24 hours prior to the sale; 4) Buyer acknowledges and accepts that credit card authorizations are subject to a 3-7 day hold on funds with Buyer’s credit card company, which hold is not under the control of Agent to release.  For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Acceptable Payment Forms” shall mean and refer to payments made by wire transfer or credit card.  Cash and checks shall never be deemed “Acceptable Payment Forms.”

Initial deposits, if any, will be refunded upon Buyer’s request and provision of sufficient documentation of such payment to Agent, in the form of a deposit receipt, provided no purchases of Items are made. In the event Buyer fails to pay the entire purchase price by the payment deadline and/or remove all Items in the timeframes allowed, the deposit, if any, will become non-refundable and buyer may be charged additional fees as liquidated damages, as set forth in more detail below. Deposit refunds must be claimed within 30 days of the date of the sale, on the terms set forth above, or otherwise shall be deemed as forfeited.

Upon Buyers’ successful purchase, Buyer shall be immediately responsible for payment in full for all purchased Items in one of the Acceptable Payment Forms. Unless posted otherwise in the Sale Specific Terms, Payment of the Balance Due (“Final Payment”) is required within 24 hours of receiving the final invoice.

Final payments must be made via an Acceptable Payment Form or, if allowed per the Sale Specific Terms, by Visa or MasterCard. Unless alternative arrangements have been acknowledged and accepted by Agent prior to the conclusion of the sale, Buyers authorize Agent to process the payment for the balance of their purchased Items using the credit card provided. However, Buyers spending more than $10,000 must provide an Acceptable Payment Form for the portion of Buyer’s purchases exceeding $10,000. Buyer is responsible for any bank charges incurred for processing wire transfers (please note that it is very common for your bank as well as intermediate banks to charge a fee). Buyers paying by credit card waive their rights to chargeback.

All payments must be made in U.S. Dollars. IRS regulations require us to report all cash payments, as defined by the IRS, exceeding $10,000 from any one purchaser in a single transaction or related transactions. When accepted, business checks must be accompanied by a bank letter, drawn on a bank acceptable to the Agent, that states the bank will guarantee payment up to a specified amount (this letter must contain the words “guarantee payment”). Buyer authorizes Agent to complete and deposit signed checks provided to Agent without the dollar amount.

3.)      Buyer’s Premium

A buyer’s premium will be added to the price of each Item purchased. See each Item’s sale’s listing on the BidSpotter website for the specific buyers’ premium to be charged.

4.)      Taxes

When required by law, Agent shall collect and Buyer shall pay all sales, use, or other applicable taxes, which will be added to the purchase price, including the Buyer’s premium, on all purchased Items. Prior to the close of any sale, Buyers who purchase for resale must fax or email to Agent documentation proving their exemption status, including, but not limited to, their resale permit and a completed and signed resale certificate form, without which all applicable taxes will be charged by Agent. Buyers purchasing from out-of-state (if accepted by the state) can provide a bill of lading proving that the purchased Items are being transported directly out-of-state by a common carrier. Sales, use, or other applicable taxes will be refunded in full to Buyers who prove their qualified exemptions as described above at the time documentation deemed acceptable by Agent is received by Agent, provided such information is submitted within 5 business days after the last day of checkout (checkout timeframe various by auction, see specific terms for each auction). Agent reserves the right to reject any claim for sales tax exemption that it believes to be insufficient to satisfy the scrutiny of the applicable taxing authority.

5.)      Bidding

Agent reserves the right to change or add to the catalog, to withdraw Items, to sell in any order Agent deems appropriate, to adjust minimum bids and/or reserve prices, if applicable, and to extend or shorten closing times. Agent and/or its affiliates or subsidiaries may bid at the auction either for its or their own account or on behalf of a third party in certain cases. In the event there is a dispute between two or more claims of entitlement as the successful bidder, Agent reserves the right to resell the Item(s) in any dispute. Agent reserves the right to hold all bulk bids in abeyance and at the conclusion of the sale or after the offering of a specific Item, to accept either the bulk bid or the aggregate of the individual bids received during the sale, whichever is higher. Agent reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject any bid which is only a fractional advance over the preceding bid, or which is not commensurate with the value of the Item. Some of the Items offered may be subject to a reserve price (minimum allowable selling price) imposed by the Seller. Buyers participating online are responsible for confirming the accuracy of online bids prior to submission. Internet bidding is provided via a third-party bidding system(s). Under no circumstances shall Buyer hold Agent liable for system failures resulting in Buyer’s bid not being submitted or properly submitted. All bidding and subsequent transactions shall be in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

6.)      Representations

Agent shall make commercially reasonable efforts to provide accurate information about the Items being sold; however, in no other way is accuracy of same guaranteed by Agent. Neither Seller nor Agent will assume any responsibility for Buyer’s bidding errors. Buyers shall be deemed to have relied entirely upon their own inspections and investigations. Buyers are recommended to inspect all Items. When provided, descriptions, photos, conditions, dimensions, odometer, usage, and hours etc. are offered as a guide only. In certain cases, a photograph of like product may be used to represent several different Items. Photographs may also capture nearby Items not listed as part of the lot. Agent shall not be held responsible for such errors as posting the wrong photo, description, condition, dimension, odometer, usage, and hours etc. for an Item. When in doubt, please physically inspect all Items or bid accordingly.

7.)      Vehicle Titles

Where applicable, title to motor vehicles, if in the possession of the Agent, will be provided to the Buyer within fifteen (15) business days following the sale, or as soon thereafter as such documents become available. Buyer is responsible for all transfer and/or motor vehicle registration costs including any back fees and/or penalties that may be due.

8.)      All sales are final

A signed invoice constitutes acceptance of the Terms of Sale and is a legally binding contract of sale. All sales are final. There will be no refunds, returns or exchanges.

9.)      Removal of Purchased Items

See Sale Specific Terms for information regarding removal dates, deadlines, and conditions. Removal will be scheduled by appointment only unless otherwise noted. All Items must be paid in full before an appointment can be scheduled or Items will be released from the Premises. Buyers without an appointment will be required to wait for the next available checkout clerk. Buyer is solely responsible for removing its purchased Items within the timeframes provided. Buyer must provide its paid invoice at time of pickup. All Items must be removed by Buyer at its own risk and expense, and in compliance with all local, state and/or federal laws, rules, regulations, and/or ordinances (“Applicable Law”). Quantities should be checked by Buyer or their Agent prior to the removal of Items. No allowances will be made for claims or shortages once Items have been removed from the Premises.

Buyer must arrange to have its purchased Items packed, insured, rigged, moved, or shipped, and shall accept full responsibility for all labor, materials, and costs necessary to complete the removal of such purchased Items, as well as any damages, losses, acts, or omissions related to the removal of purchased Items from the Premises. Buyer represents that it is familiar with the Item(s) it is purchasing, as well as their condition, location, contents, etc., and is purchasing such Item(s) with a knowledge and understanding of the removal requirements of the Item(s), including any regulations related to the dismantling, rigging, or moving of the Item(s). In the event Agent assists Buyer with any part of the removal process, it does so as a courtesy and assumes no responsibility for damages, losses, acts or omissions of Buyer and/or any packer, carrier, rigger, or mover acting on Buyer’s behalf, whether or not such packer, carrier, rigger, or mover is recommended by Agent. Agent is under no obligation to provide materials or other services, and in no event will be Agent liable for damage to Buyer's purchased Items regardless of cause. In the event Buyer uses a third party to remove their Item(s), Buyer is responsible to coordinate such removal within the posted removal times for each specific sale with their third-party service providers. Buyers are also responsible for providing their third-party service providers with Agent Release Authorizations. An “Agent Release Authorization” form is available on the Agent’s site for use when retaining any third-party to remove purchases.

Agent requires Certificates of Insurance from any purchaser or their agents that will be removing Items which require rigging, moving, dismantling, cutting, grinding, purging, cutting or disconnecting electrical or plumbing utilities, use of any type of vehicle or material handling equipment (i.e., forklift, crane or similar), or based on special circumstances as determined exclusively by Agent. All Certificates of Insurance, must be properly completed, list all loss payees, as required by Agent and must evidence general liability, auto liability, workers compensation, and other insurance at statutory limits or such other limits as may be required for a specific sale.

In the event the sale involves the removal of Items that are affixed to or installed at the Premises, Buyer is responsible for and entitled to remove the Item as described to first point of utility disconnect. Buyer acknowledges that it is purchasing the Item and its contents, if applicable, but is not entitled to any controls, in wall-wiring, cables, connectors or down-line components, unless specifically stated so in the Item description. In the event the removal of an Item results in damage to the Premises and/or the creation of trash and debris on or around the Premises, Buyer shall be responsible for associated repair, remediation, and clean-up of the Premises. This includes, but is not limited to, patching of an exterior wall or roof to reasonable standards when the removal of the Item results in any damage to the Premises.

10.)   Export

Buyer is responsible to obtain proper licenses, where required for the export of any Items that are considered controlled commodities and which are restricted from export outside of the United States without proper export licenses. Buyer agrees to fully comply with all applicable export control laws, regulations, rules, and orders of the United States and all other applicable jurisdictions and other similar laws (collectively “Applicable Export Control Laws”), and will not export, re-export, release, or transfer (collectively "export"), directly or indirectly, any Items, or enter into any transactions, for any proscribed end-use, or to or with any proscribed country, entity, or person (wherever located), including, but not limited to, those entities and persons listed on the U.S. Government's Denied Persons List, Unverified List, Entity List, Debarred Parties List or Specially Designated Nationals List, without first obtaining at its own expense written authorization from the U.S. Government.

In addition, Agent may, at its discretion, either resell the Item(s) at a public or private sale without further notice to Buyer and/or dispose of the Item(s) at Buyer’s sole expense. Any difference between the sale price for an Item by the defaulting Buyer and the price received by Agent at a resale shall be paid to Agent by the defaulting Buyer. In addition, a defaulting Buyer shall be deemed to have granted Agent a security interest in the Item, which Agent shall retain as collateral security for Buyer’s obligation to Agent.

13.)    Non-Delivery

Until such time as purchased Items are removed from the Premises by the Buyer, Agent shall have the right to cancel or void the sale of any Items purchased by Buyer.

Buyer shall be responsible for any and all remediation costs relating to the dismantling and removal of any purchased Item containing Hazardous Materials, whether or not such Hazardous Materials were known to Buyer prior to Buyer’s purchase, as Buyer is expected to have conducted all necessary due diligence to assess and determine the presence of Hazardous Materials within purchased Items. Buyer will not bring any Hazardous Materials onto the Premises.
