Auction Agreement:
I acknowledge that this is a confirmation auction, and my offer is subject to seller approval. If I am the successful bidder, I will sign the Agreement of Purchase and Sale immediately upon notification, which I understand is legally binding. If am bidding on behalf of an LLC or a Corporation, I understand the corporation or LLC must be in good standing and must provide the auction company with the Operating Agreement for the LLC or Corporate bylaws for a corporation specifying I have the authority to sign for the entity.
Buyer’s Premium:
I understand that a 10% buyer’s premium will be added to my final bid to calculate the total purchase price (Final Bid + 10% = Contract Sales Price).
Agency Representation:
The Auctioneers represent the Seller only, with no dual agency relationship.
Public Disclosure:
The purchase price will become public information immediately after the auction and may be published.
Survey Requirement:
The property is not contingent on a satisfactory survey. If a survey is desired, it will be at my expense, and the contract is not contingent upon survey results. The acreage size is acquired from the courthouse records and is not guaranteed.
Property Condition:
All property is sold "AS IS, WHERE IS," with no warranties, expressed or implied.
Post-Auction Clean-Up:
Soldasap, LLC, and the Seller are not responsible for the clean-up, removal, or disposal of any unwanted items remaining on the property after the auction.
Financing Contingency:
I understand that this contract is not contingent upon obtaining financing, and I am obligated to complete the transaction regardless of my financing status. If I am the high bidder, I agree to provide a certified check for the earnest money deposit of $2,500, payable to Soldasap, LLC, immediately or no later than 24 Hours after the auction. The buyer's failure to close will result in the forfeiture of the deposit. If I plan to seek financing, I will inform the Auctioneer in writing before signing the auction contract and provide proof of financing before bidding. The seller may or may not, at their sole discretion and with written agreement, extend the closing date to accommodate my financing efforts.
Seller's Rights:
The seller reserves the right to seek additional damages beyond the forfeited earnest money deposit if I fail to meet my obligations as outlined in this agreement.
Closing Timeline:
The closing will occur within 45 days of the auction date, with "time being of the essence" unless otherwise agreed.
Auction Conduct:
The auctioneer has sole discretion over auction conduct, bidding increments, and resolving disputes among bidders. Decisions by the auctioneer are final. Soldasap, LLC is not responsible for missed bids, technical difficulties, or connectivity issues on either the bidder’s side or Soldasap's, LLC’s side. In case of technical difficulties, Soldasap LLC has the right to reopen bidding at its sole discretion.
Announcements:
Announcements by John & Tasabah Malone, sent out prior to the time of sale take precedence over printed materials. Property details, including dimensions, utilities, and school districts, are provided as a reference but are not guaranteed. Verification before bidding is the buyer's responsibility.
Bidding & Bid Assistance:
Soldasap, LLC provides a transparent and fair auction environment. In certain situations and at the request of bidders, Soldasap, LLC may assist by placing bids on their behalf. This service does not establish any agency or representation of those bidders. Soldasap, LLC and its agents also reserve the right to place bids for clients, customers, or employees. If the auction is advertised as an absolute auction, Soldasap, LLC employees are unable to purchase the property or bid. Although Soldasap, LLC may bid for a potential buyer, Soldasap, LLC undertakes no obligation to place all requested bids and does not guarantee that such bids will be submitted due to possible timing issues, technical difficulties, prior bids placed by registered bidders & other factors. For a seamless auction experience, bidders are encouraged to monitor their bids directly and to be responsible for placing bids as they see fit. Soldasap, LLC represents the seller.
Note:
I am aware it is possible for Marknet Alliance & Soldasap, LLC to view all my bids, including my max bids through the backend of their website. Buyer is encouraged to register early and not to wait until the last minute to place their bid. Soldasap, LLC represents the seller only. See: Agency Representation disclosure on the website.
Confirmation by Seller:
This property is sold subject to Court Approval. Auctioneers have 48 hours post-auction to present the high bid for seller approval. My bid is irrevocable.
Closing Costs:
The buyer is responsible for all buyer closing costs, and the seller will cover seller closing costs.
Title Insurance and Marketable Title:
The buyer can review the title insurance commitment before closing. If title issues arise, the seller has at least 30 days to cure them.
