TERMS AS FOLLOWS:
Bidder Registration is Required for this Auction. Landman Auctions, its affiliates, agents, auctioneers and representatives (“Landman”) will present the Property for sale by auction (the “Auction”) on behalf of the seller of the Property (the “Seller”). The Auction is only open to those persons who register as “Bidders,” in accordance with these Terms & Conditions (“Terms and Conditions”). These Terms & Conditions constitute the entire agreement between Seller, Landman and Bidders. By participating in the Auction, Bidder acknowledges and agrees that Bidder is bound by these Terms & Conditions as well as any additional terms that may be imposed by the Seller or announced prior to or at the Auction by Landman.
1. BIDDING. All bidding is open to the public without regard to race, religion, color, sex, familial status, national origin, disability or sexual orientation or any other factor protected by federal, state or local law. Landman reserves the right to reject any bid in its sole discretion. The Bidder who submits the High Bid accepted by Landman will be the buyer of the Property (“Buyer”). The “High Bid” shall mean the highest bid acknowledged by Landman. By participating in the Auction, Bidder represents, warrants and covenants that any bid it makes constitutes an irrevocable offer to purchase the Property(s) for the full amount of the bid and that once a High Bid is accepted, Bidder is obligated to purchase the Property for the amount of the High Bid. In the event of any dispute between Bidders, or in the event of doubt on the part of Landman as to the validity of any bid, Landman will have the final discretion to determine the successful Buyer, cancel the Auction, or to re-offer the subject Property(s) for auction. If any dispute arises after the Auction, the Auction record of Landman shall be conclusive to determine all bidding issues, including but not limited to the High Bid and the Buyer. Landman may allow telephonic, absentee, proxy, mobile app and/or Internet bids as a convenience to Bidders. Bidders assume the risk of any errors or omissions in connection with such bids.
2. BIDDER REGISTRATION. The Auction is only open to members of the public who have properly registered as Bidders pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. To obtain a bidder's paddle, Bidder must register by signing and submitting to Landman these Terms & Conditions, registration materials, and any required escrow instructions. There are no exceptions unless otherwise approved by the seller(s).
3. BUYER'S PREMIUM. A Buyer's Premium in the amount of 10% will be added to the High Bid and will be paid by the successful high bidder. The Buyer's Premium added to the High Bid will be the sum and will equal the Total Purchase Price. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer's Premium is deemed earned upon conclusion of the Auction and shall be held by [Title/Escrow Company], and disbursed to Landman by [Title/Escrow Company], upon closing. If the sale of the Property is not consummated for any reason other than default by the Seller, the Buyer's Premium shall nevertheless be due and payable to Landman. The Buyer's Premium is not intended to be a real estate commission; it is the fee that Landman charges to bidders for bringing the Property(s) to auction. Landman does not owe a fiduciary duty to Buyer. Any applicable real estate commissions paid to the seller's brokers or buyer's brokers will be determined by the parties in a separate agreement.
4. OPENING BID INCENTIVE - SAVE 3%. The Opening Bid Buyer will receive a three-percent (3%) credit from the Seller equal to 3% of the opening bid amount only and not the total purchase price or final bid amount. The “Opening Bid Buyer” shall be defined as the Bidder who submits the highest opening bid that is accepted by the auctioneer. Bidder must be selected as the highest opening bid and must be the highest bidder when the auctioneer closes the bidding to receive discount. The Opening Bid Incentive shall be reflected as a credit from Seller to Buyer against the Total Purchase Price of the Property. Bidder understands and agrees that the opening bid dollar amount is legally binding and irrevocable. The opening bid incentive does NOT apply to any other offers, pre-auction offers or post-auction back-up offers and is valid on Auction Day only and will be credited upon successful settlement. Landman, in its discretion, may offer additional incentives to pre-auction bidders or pre-auction offers and reserves the right, in its discretion, to reject any opening bid. If the same opening bid is received by more than one bidder, the first qualified (registered) bidder will be given precedence. Only the highest opening bid will be accepted by the auctioneer in the auctioneer's sole discretion.
5. BID ACCEPTANCE; COMPLETION. Once the High Bid is accepted, the Buyer is declared, and the Auction closed, Buyer will be required immediately to 1) execute the Purchase and Sale Contract (the “Contract”) as well as Escrow Instructions and other documents required by the Closing and Escrow Agent, and 2) to initiate a wire transfer in the amount necessary to meet 10% of the Purchase Price (the “Deposit”), no later than by the close of business on the Auction Date. Bidder understands that its failure to perform either of these requirements will result in forfeiture of the Bidder's Deposit.
6. PURCHASE AND SALE CONTRACT. The Contract is an As-Is Contract. It is available for review by all Bidders prior to the Auction. Bidders are encouraged to request and review the Contract in advance. The terms of the Contract are not negotiable upon being declared the Buyer. The Contract has been modified to correspond with these Terms of Sale. The Buyer agrees to sign the Contract immediately after the Auction. As between Buyer and Seller, the Purchase and Sale Contract supersedes any and all other documents or information (including without limitation these Terms & Conditions) and serves as the definitive document for the purchase and sale of the Property(s). Landman is not a party to the Purchase and Sale Contract. Landman does not guarantee that any sale of the Property will be consummated. The term “Purchase Price” shall mean the Total Purchase Price, excluding other amounts payable by the Buyer pursuant to the Contract such as closing costs, escrow/closing fees, property taxes, insurance, transfer fees/taxes.
7. CLOSING. The Buyer must sign Contract and ancillary documents on the day of the Auction and will be required to make an appointment with a closing agent to pay the balance of the purchase price and receive the deed to the property. All closings must occur within thirty (30) days. The date of closing the purchase of the Property between Buyer and Seller shall be the “Closing Date” set forth in the Contract, which shall be no later than thirty (30) days from the Auction Date, unless modified in writing and signed by the parties. In the event the parties agree to an extension of the closing date; Landman's Fee shall remain due no later than thirty (30) days from the Auction Date.
8. CLOSING AND ESCROW AGENT; CLOSING COSTS. Closing and escrow services shall be provided exclusively by [Title/Escrow Company], at Buyer's expense (“Escrow Agent”). Landman does not provide closing services. The Buyer shall pay all closing costs for residential sales in the county where the Property is located. Closing costs shall include documentary stamps, transfer taxes, and title insurance.
9. DEFAULT. Failure to comply with these Terms & Conditions by the Buyer will result in a default being declared and the Deposit and Buyer's Premium being retained by Seller in addition to other equitable and legal remedies under applicable law all of which are reserved.
10. AUCTION PROCEDURES. Open and verbal announcements made at the Auction will take precedence over all printed material. Method, order of sale, and bidding increments shall be at the sole discretion of the Auctioneer. LANDMAN AND SELLER RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY OR AMEND ANY TERMS OF THE AUCTION, THE AUCTION METHOD OR PARTICULAR CONDITIONS OF THE AUCTION UPON ANNOUNCEMENT PRIOR TO OR DURING THE COURSE OF THE AUCTION. SELLER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO OFFER THE PROPERTY(S) FOR SALE IN ANY MANNER OR METHOD. Landman may, in the event of any dispute between bidders, determine the successful bidder or reoffer the subject Property for auction. Should there be any dispute after the Auction, Landman Auction's record of the High Bid, and the Purchase Price shall be conclusive to resolve the dispute. Landman Auctions reserves the right to withdraw the Property before or at the Auction in its sole discretion and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal.
11. PROPERTY INSPECTION. Prospective buyers are encouraged to personally inspect the Property prior to Auction day. Bidder assumes all risks associated with such inspection. Buyers are solely responsible to verify any information they deem important to the purchase of the Property. Landman and Seller make no guarantees or warranties as to the condition of the Property and assume no liability for any errors or omissions contained in any advertising or promotion of the Property, whether they are written, oral or otherwise stated. The Property is being offered in its “AS-IS, WHERE-IS” condition, with no guarantees or warranties whatsoever. Although information has been obtained from resources deemed reliable, neither Landman nor Seller makes any guarantee as to the accuracy of any such information. In connection with any due diligence, inspection, visit and/or investigation of the Property(s) by Prospective Bidders, Bidders and or any person/entity/representative acting on their behalf (the “Inspectors”), the Prospective Bidders, Bidders, and Inspectors shall (a) ensure that the Property(s) is kept free and clear of liens, (b) ensure that any and all damage arising from such inspection is repaired, and (c) indemnify, defend and hold Seller and Landman harmless from all liability, claims, demands, damages and/or costs directly or indirectly arising there from. Inspectors shall carry, or require anyone acting on Inspector's behalf to carry, policies of liability insurance, workers' compensation and other applicable insurance, defending and protecting Seller and Landman from liability for any injuries to persons or property occurring during any inspection of the Property(s).
