Auction Company may establish such other Bidder Registration requirements and Bidder qualifications as Auction Company determines to be reasonably necessary or appropriate and may require YOU to present a Bank Letter of Credit or other proof of available funds. YOU represent and warrant that all information YOU provide with respect to YOUR bidder Registration will be true and accurate; and YOU acknowledge and agree that YOU may be banned from participation in the Auction, and from participation in future Auctions conducted by Auction Company, if YOU provide any false information. YOU must provide such information (including identifying information and qualifications) as requested by Auction Company. Auction Company may refuse to accept a Bidder Registration from any potential Bidder, may refuse to grant bidding privileges to any potential Bidder, and may suspend or revoke the bidding privileges of any Bidder at any time. By registering to bid, YOU represent to Auction Company that, if YOU are a natural person, YOU are at least eighteen (18) years of age and that YOU are otherwise legally able to enter into a contract. Each entity (i.e., corporation, limited liability company, or other organization) registering to bid represents that it has the power and authority to register, to bid, and to complete the purchase transaction if it is the Winning Bidder. If bids are made by or on behalf of an entity, the entity and any individual making the bid will be jointly and severally liable on account of the bid. YOU are required to, and YOU agree to, keep YOUR Bidder Registration information current, and to update YOUR Bidder Account whenever any change occurs. YOU acknowledge and agree that YOU have read, understand, and agree to be bound by, these Bidder Terms and Conditions, any and all other terms and conditions posted at the Auction Site or on Auction Company website(s), and the terms and conditions posted on the websites of any Online Auction Platform Provider(s) used by Auction Company. Auction Company may, in Auction Company’s sole and absolute discretion, receive bids from a person or entity that has not registered to bid and/or has not satisfied all requirements for Bidder Registration, and, by bidding, such person or entity will be bound by all other Bidder Terms and Conditions, any and all other terms and conditions published by auctioneer (including those posted at the Auction Site or on Auction Company’s website(s), or otherwise), and the terms and conditions posted on the websites of any Online Auction Platform Provider(s) used by Auction Company. BIDDER QUALIFICATION PROVISIONS ARE INTENDED FOR THE BENEFIT OF AUCTION COMPANY AND SELLER(S) AND CREATE NO RIGHTS OR INTERESTS IN ANY OTHER PERSONS, INCLUDING COMPETING BIDDERS. AUCTION COMPANY AND/OR ANY SELLER MAY (BUT WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO) WAIVE ANY BIDDER QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS, EITHER GLOBALLY OR WITH RESPECT TO A SPECIFIC BIDDER, OR SPECIFIC BIDDERS, ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS.

6.           Access to Auction Site and/or Online Auction Platform; Assumption of Risk; Limitation of Liability. YOU assume all risks in connection with YOUR participation, or attempted participation, in the Auction, including, without being limited to, risks arising from or associated with: (i) YOUR presence at the Auction Site; (ii) YOUR use of any Online Auction Platform utilized by Auction Company; (iii) removal, transport, or use of any Lot(s); and/or (iv) any harm, injury, or damage to YOU or YOUR property resulting from acts other than those caused exclusively by Auction Company’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct. YOU further agree that neither YOU nor any person accompanying YOU to, or otherwise visiting, the Auction Site will attempt to operate or activate any machinery or equipment at the Auction Site without Auction Company’s express consent; and, that, YOU will assume all liability for property damage and/or personal injury caused by YOU or YOUR representatives, employees, independent contractors, or agents. YOU acknowledge and agree that the Auction Site may be a potentially dangerous place that requires YOU to be vigilant, alert, and aware at all times. Flammable, noxious, corrosive, pressurized and otherwise hazardous substances may be present at the Auction Site. Machinery, equipment, and vehicles may be operated at the Auction Site, and electrical circuits may be live at the Auction Site. YOU enter the Auction Site at YOUR own risk with notice of the condition and activities that will be, or have been, conducted at the Auction Site; and YOU assume such risks with respect to YOURSELF and anyone, including any minor children, accompanying YOU or visiting the Auction Site on YOUR behalf. YOUR representatives, employees, independent contractors, or agents also assume such risks. No person will have any claim against Auction Company and/or Seller, or their respective agents or employees, for any injuries sustained or for damages to or loss of property that may occur at the Auction Site. Neither Auction Company nor Seller will be liable for any damages of any type or nature sustained or claimed by YOU or by any other person or entity in connection with, or in any way related to, the Auction. YOU waive any and all claims and/or causes of against Auction Company arising in connection with, or in any way related to (i) YOUR presence at the Auction Site; (ii) YOUR use of any Online Auction Platform utilized by Auction Company; (iii) removal, transport, or use of any Lot(s); and/or (iv) any harm, injury, or damage to YOU or YOUR property resulting from acts other than those caused exclusively by Auction Company’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

7.           Nature of the Auction. UNLESS EXPRESSLY STATED OTHERWISE IN WRITING, THE AUCTION IS WITH RESERVE. Auction Company may Withdraw any Lot prior to the Fall of the Hammer on such Lot, even if bids have been tendered and/or recognized against such Lot, and there may be other reservations. UNLESS EXPRESSLY STATED IN WRITING, THE AUCTION IS NOT AN ABSOLUTE AUCTION OR AN AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE.

8.           Bid Increments. Bid increments are established and controlled by Auction Company, and may be adjusted or modified in Auction Company’s sole and absolute discretion.

9.           Absentee Bids; Remote Bidding. In Auction Company’s discretion, Auction Company may receive Absentee Bids and/or bids tendered by remote Bidders (whether telephonically or otherwise). Absentee Bids may be initiated and advanced in accordance with Auction Company’s policies and procedures. Auction Company will make reasonable efforts to execute Absentee Bids, but Auction Company will have no liability to any Absentee Bidder for the failure to execute any Absentee Bids for any reason whatsoever. Each Absentee Bidder acknowledges and agrees that a Lot may be sold to another Bidder for the maximum amount of the Absentee Bid based on a bidding sequence that causes another Bidder to reach such amount first. If the execution of an Absentee Bid at its maximum amount would require Auction Company to accept a bid that is less than a full bidding increment, Auction Company has the sole and absolute discretion to acknowledge or reject such bid. An Absentee Bidder may authorize Auction Company to advance the bid by one or more bidding increments after the maximum amount of the Absentee Bid is, or would be, reached. Auction Company acts as the agent of the Seller only, and the receipt and/or execution of Absentee Bids will not create an agency relationship between Auction Company and any Absentee Bidder.

10.         Buyer's Premium. Each Lot is subject to a Buyer's Premium that will be calculated as a percentage of the Hammer Price and paid by the Winning Bidder in addition to the Hammer Price. The Buyer’s Premium will be in an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the Hammer Price of each Lot. In Auction Company’s discretion, the Buyer’s Premium may be adjusted either globally or on a case-by-case basis to account for additional costs and expenses, including, without being limited to, credit card processing fees and check verification fees, or may be reduced or otherwise modified. The Buyer’s Premium is earned at the Fall of the Hammer and will not be refunded by Auction Company. The Buyer's Premium will be added to the Hammer Price to determine the final Contract Price. If YOU are the Winning Bidder on any Lot(s) and YOU default on YOUR obligations as set forth in these Bidder Terms and Conditions, or otherwise, there will be no set-off or reduction in the Buyer's Premium even if a Lot is subsequently sold to another Buyer. Because the Buyer's Premium is earned with the Fall of the Hammer, Auction Company has no obligation to mitigate damages with respect to the Buyer's Premium, and YOU acknowledge and agree that mitigation of damages is not possible.

11.         Posted Times. All times are based on the Central Time Zone unless stated otherwise. Posted closing times and time displays are approximate. Auction Company reserves the right to close early or extend the Auction at any time at Auctioneer’s sole and absolute discretion.

12.         Online Bidding; Maximum Bids. Online bids may be submitted as a single advancing bid on a Lot, or as a maximum bid on a Lot, and bidding will advance competitively to the next available increment. Just like an Absentee Bid, Auction Company may view YOUR bids as they are entered and advanced, including YOUR maximum bid. If YOU submit a single advancing bid on a Lot and YOUR bid is equal to or less than the maximum bid previously submitted by another Bidder on the same Lot, YOU will be outbid. If YOU submit a maximum bid on a Lot and a maximum bid has previously been submitted by another Bidder on the same Lot, bidding will advance to the next highest bid increment after which either YOUR maximum bid or the previously submitted maximum bid has been exhausted, whichever occurs first, and the then-current bid will be shown at that amount. If YOUR bid is shown as the current high bid on a Lot and another Bidder submits a bid (either as a single bid or as a maximum bid), bidding will advance to the next highest bid increment after which either YOUR maximum bid or the maximum bid of the competing Bidder has been exhausted, whichever occurs first, and the then-current bid will be shown at that amount. It is YOUR responsibility to refresh YOUR browser to keep current with the bidding. Limitations in technology, connectivity issues, and refresh rates may cause delays that result in an attempted bid on a Lot not being posted before the Lot closes.

13.         Technology Disruptions. YOU acknowledge and agree that the Auction is conducted electronically and relies on hardware and software that may malfunction without warning. Auction Company will not be responsible for, and will suffer no liability for, technology disruptions, errors, or failures (including disruptions to bidding or the failure to execute, recognize, or record online bids), whether caused by (i) loss of connectivity, breakdown, disruption, or failure of the Online Auction Platform(s), (ii) breakdown, disruption, or failure of a Bidder's internet connection, computer, or system, or (iii) otherwise. Auction Company may, but will not be required to, continue, suspend, delay, extend, reschedule, or close the Auction because of disruptions caused by technology failures, even after bidding has commenced.

14.         Failures by Online Auction Platform Provider and Its Affiliates or Contractors. Under no circumstances will Auction Company be liable for any failure of the Online Auction Platform Provider(s) to perform, or for the failure of any affiliates, employees, agents, representatives, or contractors of the Online Auction Platform Provider(s) to perform regardless of whether such obligations are owing, directly or indirectly, to Auction Company, to YOU, to Seller, or otherwise.

15.         Staggered Closing; Automatic Extension Feature. Auction Company’s online Auctions are designed to mimic traditional “live” actions. For this reason, the Auction will have a staggered, dynamic closing. YOU must continuously refresh YOUR browser during the closing process to see the most current bidding activity. The Auction will typically begin to close at a rate of two Lots per minute. The estimated closing time on a Lot will be displayed on the website, but may be extended past their scheduled closing time as a result of Auction Company’s dynamic closing (automatic extension) feature. The closing time of a Lot is typically extended an additional three minutes if a bid is placed within the last three minutes leading up to the Lot’s estimated closing time, and such extensions will continue until there is a set period of time that lapses during which no advancing online bid is received, after which bidding on the Lot will close. Auction Company may adjust the automatic extension period.

16.         Disclaimer. THE ONLINE AUCTION PLATFORM(S) AND AUCTION COMPANY’S WEBSITE ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF TITLE OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. AUCTION COMPANY MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR GUARANTEES, AND DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR GUARANTEES, (i) THAT THE ONLINE AUCTION PLATFORM(S) OR ANY RELATED WEBSITE OR TECHNOLOGY WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR FREE OR VIRUS FREE, (ii) AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED BY USING THE ONLINE AUCTION PLATFORM OR ANY RELATED WEBSITE OR TECHNOLOGY, OR (iii) AS TO THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, RELIABILITY, SECURITY, OR CURRENT NATURE OF THE ONLINE AUCTION PLATFORM OR ANY RELATED WEBSITE TECHNOLOGY. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE AUCTION, OR THE NATURE, CHARACTER, OR FUNCTIONALITY OF TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATED WITH THE AUCTION, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RECOURSE IS TO IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE AUCTION. AUCTION COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE YOUR BIDDER REGISTRATION, TO SUSPEND OR TERMINATE YOUR ACCESS TO THE AUCTION, TO IMPOSE LIMITS ON CERTAIN FEATURES OF THE ONLINE AUCTION PLATFORM, AND/OR LIMIT, RESTRICT, OR TERMINATE YOUR ACCESS TO AUCTION COMPANY’S WEBSITE OR TO THE AUCTION WITHOUT NOTICE.

17.         Restrictions on Use. YOU agree not to take any action or use any hardware, software, program, or system that would interfere with the orderly conduct of the Auction. YOU agree not to copy, reproduce, or publicly display any content from Auction Company’s website without first obtaining written permission from Auction Company. YOU agree that YOU will not use any robot, spider, other automatic device, or manual process to monitor or copy the Online Auction Platform(s), Auction Company’s website, any technology associated with the Auction, and/or any content associated with the Auction. YOU agree that YOU will not use any device, software or routine to interfere with, or to attempt to interfere with, the proper functioning of the Online Auction Platform(s), Auction Company’s website, any technology associated with the Auction, or any activity being conducted in connection with the Auction. YOU agree that YOU will not take any action that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on the Online Auction Platform(s) and/or Auction Company’s website and/or online infrastructure. YOU agree that YOU will not copy, reproduce, alter, modify, create derivative works, or publicly display any content from the Online Auction Platform(s) and/or Auction Company’s website. Access and use of any Online Auction Platform is subject to any and all terms and conditions of the Online Auction Platform Provider(s).

18.         Reporting Bidding Errors. YOU should refresh YOUR browser often to view the most up-to-date bid information, and should carefully review every bid YOU choose to make before submitting that bid. Auction Company will not assume that any bid, even a bid that increases YOUR own lower bid, was made in error. Bidders may strategically increase their own bids. YOU understand and agree that YOU will be held responsible for having made all bids that are made using YOUR account information, even if YOU claim the bid was made in error.

19.         Security of Bidder Account. YOU are responsible for monitoring and maintaining the security of YOUR Bidder Account information. If, at any time, YOU know or suspect that YOUR Bidder Account has been hacked, cloned, compromised, or improperly accessed, YOU must immediately notify Auction Company, and YOU

must also report the incident to the appropriate law enforcement authorities (with a copy of the police report sent to Auction Company).

20.         No Bid Retraction; Irrevocable Offer. Without Auction Company’s consent (which consent may be granted or withheld in Auction Company's sole and absolute discretion), YOU may not retract or revoke a bid that has been acknowledged by Auction Company or that YOU have submitted online. YOU acknowledge and agree that Auction Company is acting in reliance on tendered bids in the conduct of the Auction, and that bid retraction: (i) is disruptive and interferes with the Auction; (ii) may cause other Bidders to question the integrity of the Auction (among other things, affecting Auction Company’s reputation); (iii) may reduce Bidder confidence in the Auction process; and (iv) may have a negative effect on the Hammer Price, thereby harming the Seller. As an inducement for Auction Company to accept YOUR Bidder Registration and to grant YOU the privilege of bidding at the Auction, and in consideration of the ability to bid at the Auction, YOU acknowledge  and agree that, without Auction Company's prior consent, YOU will not withdraw or to attempt to withdraw any bid tendered by YOU or on YOUR behalf. YOU, further, acknowledge and agree that YOUR bid constitutes an irrevocable offer that will not be terminated by Auction Company's solicitation and/or acknowledgment of advancing bids, neither of which constitutes a rejection of YOUR bid.

21.         Responsibility for Bids. YOU are responsible for all bids made using YOUR Bidder Number or YOUR Bidder Account, and if YOU tender a bid that is determined by Auction Company to be the Winning Bid, or if a Winning Bid is submitted from YOUR computer, or YOUR device, or from YOUR Bidder Account, YOU will be the Buyer. YOUR failure to inspect or otherwise become fully informed about a Lot will not be grounds for a refusal to pay, and will not support a claim against Auction Company or the Seller. If YOUR Bidder Number is lost, stolen, or misappropriated, or if YOUR Bidder Account has been hacked or compromised YOU should notify Auction Company immediately. YOU will be liable for all bids tendered using YOUR Bidder Number or Bidder Account prior to giving Auction Company notice that YOUR Bidder Number was lost, stolen, or misappropriated or that YOUR Bidder Account was hacked or compromised.

22.         Conduct of the Auction. Auction Company will regulate all matters relating to the conduct of the Auction and Auction Company’s decisions will be final and binding. Auction Company will have control over bidding, and Auction Company will resolve any and all disputes. If (i) after the Fall of the Hammer or other termination of the bidding Auction Company is made aware of a bid that was tendered but not posted prior to the Fall of the Hammer or other termination of the bidding, or (ii) some other bid dispute arises, Auction Company may, in Auction Company’s sole and absolute discretion, reopen the bidding (but will not be required to). Any contract formed with the Fall of the Hammer will be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section. If bidding is reopened pursuant to this Section, the last bid recognized by Auction Company prior to the reopening of the bidding will be held, and may not be retracted, and, if no further bids are received, such bid will be the Winning Bid. Auction Company will suffer no liability on account of Auction Company’s determination to reopen the bidding or not. Auction Company reserves the right, for any reason, in Auction Company’s sole discretion, to terminate, change or suspend the sale of any Lot or any aspect of any Auction. Auction Company reserves the right, in Auction Company’s sole and absolute discretion, to (i) add or remove Lots from the Auction, (ii) split or combine Lots, (iii) add minimum bids or Reserve Prices, (iv) cancel, suspend, extend, or reschedule the sale of any Lot or of the Auction in whole or in part, (v) make changes to the Auction’s closing, inspection, or removal times, and/or (vi) take any other action Auction Company deems necessary or appropriate. Advertised times for bidding on particular Lots are estimates provided for convenience only, and Auction Company will have no liability with respect to any Lots sold before or after an advertised time.

23.         Seller/Auction Company Bidding. Seller reserves the right to bid at the Auction. Seller, or those acting on Seller's behalf, may bid on any Lot(s) with the exception of Lot(s) expressly identified, in writing, as being exposed for sale at Absolute Auction that is not a forced sale. Auction Company may execute bids on Seller’s behalf, or on its own behalf, and there is no requirement that any specific bids be identified as such or tendered under any single (or designated) Bidder Number or Bidder Account.

24.         Withdrawal by Auction Company. Auction Company has the right to withdraw any Lot from the Auction at any time prior to the Fall of the Hammer.

25.         All Property Sold “AS IS,” “WHERE IS,” and “WITH ALL FAULTS.” EACH LOT IS BEING EXPOSED FOR SALE, AND WILL BE SOLD, IN ITS AS IS/WHERE IS CONDITION AT THE TIME OF THE AUCTION, WITH ALL FAULTS, INCLUDING ANY HIDDEN DEFECTS OF ANY NATURE. UNLESS EXPRESSLY STATED OTHERWISE, NO LOT THAT IS EXPOSED FOR SALE IN ITS “AS IS" CONDITION HAS BEEN MODIFIED, ALTERED, INSPECTED, OR TESTED BY AUCTION COMPANY. NEITHER AUCTION COMPANY NOR SELLER MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR GUARANTEES WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE NATURE, VALUE, SOURCE, AUTHENTICITY, FITNESS, MERCHANTABILITY, AND/OR ANY OTHER ASPECT OR CHARACTERISTICS OF SUCH LOT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT BEING LIMITED TO, MILEAGE, HOURS, MAINTENANCE, AND MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTIES. NO STATEMENT ANYWHERE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING VERBAL STATEMENTS MADE BY AUCTION COMPANY, WILL BE DEEMED A WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION BY AUCTION COMPANY OR SELLER. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AUTHENTICITY, ORIGIN, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ANY COMMON LAW WARRANTY, ALL OF WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. AUCTION COMPANY DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR LIENS OR ENCUMBRANCES THAT MAY ATTACH TO OR BE ASSOCIATED WITH ANY LOTS; AND YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR SEARCHING OR INVESTIGATING LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES. IT IS BELIEVED THAT DESCRIPTIONS ARE ACCURATE, BUT THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEED. AUCTION COMPANY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ANY TECHNOLOGY-RELATED LOCK, IMPEDIMENT, OR ENCUMBRANCE ASSOCIATED WITH ANY LOT; AND AUCTION COMPANY HAS NO OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE ANY PASSWORD, LICENSE, TECHNICAL SUPPORT, OR OTHER TECHNOLOGY-RELATED SERVICE, PRODUCT, OR THING ASSOCIATED WITH ANY LOT. AUCTION COMPANY MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING EMBEDDED SOFTWARE LICENSES, OR WHETHER ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS BY OR ON BEHALF OF CONSIGNOR HAVE VOIDED ANY MANUFACTURER WARRANTIES. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU CANNOT RELY ON, AND HAVE NOT RELIED ON, ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE MADE BY AUCTION COMPANY, OR SELLER, OR ANYONE ACTING AS AGENT OF SELLER, ORALLY OR IN WRITING, ABOUT ANY LOT. BY BIDDING, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE HAD A FULL AND FAIR OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT ALL LOTS, AND THAT YOU ARE RELYING SOLELY ON, OR THAT YOU HAVE WAIVED, SUCH INSPECTION AND INVESTIGATION (i) IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO BID, (ii) IN DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF A BID, AND (iii) IN BIDDING. IF A PRE-AUCTION INSPECTION IS NOT AVAILABLE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT (i) YOU ARE KNOWINGLY AND WILLING BIDDING WITHOUT A PRE-AUCTION INSPECTION, (ii) YOU ARE NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES BY AUCTION COMPANY OR SELLER, AND (iii) YOU ARE ASSUMING ANY AND ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR PURCHASE OF THE LOT(S) WITHOUT A PRE-AUCTION INSPECTION. THIS “AS IS” DISCLAIMER APPLIES PRE-AUCTION, POST-AUCTION, AND DURING THE AUCTION.

26.         Inspection; Photographs and Images; Due Diligence. By bidding, YOU acknowledge and agree that YOU have had a full and fair opportunity to inspect the Lot(s), and that YOU are relying solely on YOUR inspection and investigation, or that YOU have waived inspection and investigation, and that YOU have not relied on any statement, representation, warranty, or guarantee made by Auction Company, or by Seller, or by anyone acting as agent or representative of Seller; provided, however, that if a pre-auction inspection is not available due to social distancing restrictions or otherwise, YOU acknowledge and agree that (i) YOU are knowingly and willing bidding without a pre-auction inspection, (ii) YOU are not relying on any representations or warranties by auctioneer or seller, and (iii) YOU are assuming any and all risks associated with YOUR purchase of the Lot(s) without a pre-auction inspection. YOU, further, acknowledge and agree that any photographs or other images of Lot(s) are adequate for YOUR purposes. YOU, further, acknowledge and agree that YOU have had a full and fair opportunity to ask questions and to conduct any and all due diligence that YOU deem to be necessary or appropriate, and that the responses YOU have received, if any, are adequate for YOUR purposes.

27.         Reliance on Photographs; Disputes. Auction Company typically posts item descriptions and photographs. Multiple Lots, or items from multiple Lots, may appear in a single photograph. Do not assume that a Lot consists of more than one item merely because various items appear connected or are featured in the same photograph. On occasion, the wrong photograph may be displayed for a particular Lot; however, at all times, YOU are bidding on Lots as they are described. YOU are only entitled to the items described within the Lot Description. YOU are not entitled to any item or items located on, under, in, or about any LOT unless specifically included in the Lot description. If YOU come into possession of any personal property not identified in the description for a Lot purchased by YOU, YOU must promptly notify Auction Company and return the item(s) that were not described.
