All property sells AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS. No warranties or guarantees of any kind are made by Seller or Auctioneer, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, condition, operation, safety, regulatory compliance, or suitability for any intended use.

Descriptions, photographs, dimensions, counts, references, measurements, model numbers, serial numbers, hours, mileage, quantities, specifications, and other information are believed to be accurate but are not guaranteed.

Buyers are solely responsible for inspecting and independently verifying all property and information prior to bidding. Failure to inspect does not relieve a buyer of any obligation arising from a winning bid.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Auctioneer does not test or certify the operating condition of any item. Items described as operating, powering on, running, working, or similar are based only on observations made at the time of cataloging and are not guarantees of future operation or condition.

Auctioneer may update or correct lot descriptions, photographs, specifications, or other auction information prior to the closing of a lot. Bidders are responsible for reviewing the current lot information before bidding.
