NEITHER REVELATION NOR SELLER MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, PROMISES, COVENANTS OR GUARANTEES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY LAW, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE OF TRADE OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES AS TO THE NATURE, QUALITY, DURABILITY, CAPABILITY, FUNCTION, PERFORMANCE, VALUE OR CONDITION OF ANY ASSETS, OR THEIR SUITABILITY FOR ANY USE.

If you do not inspect an Asset prior to submitting a bid, you irrevocably waive all inspection rights. Contact Revelation or see the Auction details for additional information about inspections.

4. Conduct of Auction; Purchased Assets. Revelation shall regulate all matters relating to the conduct of the Auction, and its decisions shall be final and binding on all participants in the Auction. Revelation reserves the right to group, regroup, reduce, add to or delete lots; to accept or reject any or all bids; and to offer items in bulk. Revelation is responsible for determining the bidding increments. Revelation owes no duty whatsoever to you or other Auction participants. Revelation is an agent for the owner/seller of the Assets (“Seller”), and Revelation’s sole responsibility is to maximize the Auction proceeds. There may be more than one Seller and, in some cases, Revelation and/or its affiliates may be the Seller of some or all Assets. Some items may be auctioned with reserve and/or subject to Seller’s (or its creditors’) right of confirmation, regardless of whether this information is posted. Reserves are not required to be advertised. For items subject to a reserve, Revelation may bid on behalf of Seller up to the reserve price. You will be deemed the “Purchaser” of a particular lot (and all items included within such lot) (all Assets for which you are the Purchaser shall be referred to herein as “Purchased Assets”) upon knockdown and Revelation’s declaration that you are the purchaser, at which point all risk of loss and liability with respect to your Purchased Assets shall transfer to you. As a result, you should prearrange insurance coverage for any Assets you may bid on. Title to each Purchased Asset passes only upon Revelation’s receipt of payment in full for all Purchased Assets. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO REFUNDS, RETURNS, CREDITS OR EXCHANGES.

5. Invoicing and Payment. Revelation typically issues invoices within forty-eight (48) hours after the Auction Date. All invoices are due no later than forty-eight (48) hours after receipt and, in any event, prior to the Removal of your Purchased Assets. Except with Revelation’s prior written approval, you must make any required payments by ACH or wire transfer of immediately available funds and in U.S. dollars. If you pay by certified or cashier’s check, Revelation requires three (3) business days for the check to clear. If you pay by credit card, except when prohibited by applicable law, a 3% fee will be added. You authorize Revelation to charge against the credit card provided by you, the total purchase price (including sales tax and Buyer Premium) of your Purchased Assets. If your total invoice is under $1,000, your registered credit card on bidspotter will be charged to expedite payments and checkout. This will occur on the day of sale at the end of the day. 

6. Buyer Premium. Revelation will be charging a “Buyer Premium” on all Assets sold in the Auction. The Buyer Premium will be equal to 18% of the knockdown/hammer price.  

7. Tax Matters. All prices are exclusive of all sales, use and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any governmental authority on any amounts payable for your Purchased Assets (excluding any income taxes imposed on Revelation or Seller). You are responsible for all such charges, costs and taxes and for providing evidence satisfactory to Revelation if you desire to claim an exemption from sales tax. You are responsible for any penalties, registration fees or smog certificates related to motor vehicles. Certain vehicles as announced and/or noted on your invoice will be conveyed with a bill of sale only (i.e., without a certificate of title or pink slip). For Out of State Tax Exemptions: Many states require a bill of lading (BOL) provided by the customer as to be eligible for tax exemption. Until a BOL is provided, RM Auctions will put a credit card hold for the sales tax amount. Once the BOL is received, the credit card hold will be immediately voided.

8. Security Interest. As security for the payment of the purchase price of your Purchased Assets, you grant to Revelation and Seller a lien on and security interest in and to your Purchased Assets, wherever located, and in all accessions thereto and replacements or modifications thereof, as well as all proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of the foregoing. The security interest granted under this provision constitutes a purchase money security interest.

9. Cancellation/Non-Delivery. You have no right to cancel or rescind any purchases you make at the Auction. Revelation reserves the right, at any time prior to the removal of a Purchased Asset, to cancel your purchase (including, for example, if a creditor refuses to release a lien, or if a third party removes a Purchased Asset or makes a claim against the Purchased Asset), in which case Revelation’s sole responsibility shall be to refund any payment you have made on such purchase. Neither Revelation nor Seller shall have any liability for non-delivery of any of your Purchased Assets, except for the return of any payment you have made for Purchased Assets that have not been delivered. 

10. Abandoned Assets. If you fail to pay for a Purchased Asset by the due date therefor, or if you fail to pick up a Purchased Asset during the time specified for removal thereof (even if payment has been made), Revelation reserves the right, with or without notice to you, to deem the Purchased Asset to be a “Abandoned Asset”. In addition to any other rights or remedies it may have, Revelation may sell or otherwise dispose of the Abandoned Asset, in which case you agree to pay any deficiency, all removal and other costs relating to the sale or disposition, all other costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with the sale or disposition, and a $500.00 per diem fee. Revelation and/or Seller will be entitled retain all proceeds from the sale or disposition of each Abandoned Asset, without any obligation to remit any portion of the proceeds to you. Revelation may also, with or without notice to you, abandon each Abandoned Asset, in which case you shall be responsible for, and indemnify, defend and hold Revelation harmless against, all losses, expenses, claims and demands, whether of Seller, its landlord or any other person or entity, arising out of or related to such abandonment. 

11. Removal of Purchased Assets. Revelation has no responsibility for removing, packing, loading, shipping, storing, crating or rigging any of your Purchased Assets, or for disconnecting utilities (including any electric, gas, waste or water lines) to any of your Purchased Assets (collectively, “Removal”). Removal is your responsibility and shall be at your sole risk and expense. You must maintain and repair any damage to any real or personal property caused by you or your employees, contractors or agents in connection with the Removal of your Purchased Assets.

You must fully comply with all such additional requirements. Revelation may impose a loading charge if its assists with the Removal of your Purchased Assets. If Revelation provides such assistance, Revelation will have no liability for any damage to your Purchased Assets or the premises where they are located, or any other real or personal property, unless you can prove that such damage is the direct result of Revelation’s gross negligence. 

12. Removal Without a Rigger. Subject to Section 13, you can either manage the Removal of your Purchased Assets yourself or engage a third party to manage the Removal for you. If you engage a third party, such third party must provide Revelation with proof of payment and an “Agent Release Authorization,” in a form acceptable to Revelation, which allows Revelation to release your Purchased Assets to the third party for Removal.  

13. Removal by Rigger. The Removal of any Assets weighing more than 100 pounds (or such other limit as Revelation may set) must be done by a qualified, insured rigger. Contact Revelation if you need assistance finding a rigger. Revelation may require that you use a preapproved rigger, or that your rigger be approved by Revelation and/or Seller. You must provide Revelation with a certificate of insurance from each rigger. The certificate of insurance must show that the rigger carries comprehensive liability insurance written by an insurance carrier of national standing and in an amount of not less than $1,000,000. Revelation reserves the right to impose additional insurance requirements if required by Seller.
