Caveat Emptor: “Let the Buyer beware” that while every effort is made by the Auctioneer/Broker to provide accurate information, it does not accept responsibility for information presented.  It is the responsibility of the Buyer and/or the Buyer’s Agent to verify the accuracy of all information presented and conduct its own independent inspections, investigation and due diligence concerning the property to its satisfaction.  When in doubt, check it out.  Property sells “As-Is” with no warranties expressed or implied by the Seller.  Property included in the sale is the real estate and improvements, if any.

Contingencies:  The final high bid on the property is irrevocable.  The purchase IS NOT contingent upon financing nor appraisal, so be prepared to pay cash at closing or have arranged your financing prior to bidding.   The purchase IS NOT contingent upon inspections post auction, so be sure you thoroughly inspect the property and obtain any information important to you prior to bidding. 

Disclaimer:  Any announcements made on auction day take precedent and override all prior marketing or website statements.  The decision of the Auctioneer is final regarding all matters that arise before, during, and after the Auction.  Auctioneer’s discretion includes, but is not limited to, the auction method, bid-calling, bid increments, and determining the buyer.  Unless otherwise disclosed, Seller may not bid on the Property.  Bidder will not retract any bid.  The exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any controversy or claim will be Maricopa County, Arizona.  Online Bidding Disclaimer:  Under no circumstances shall Bidder have any kind of claim against the Broker/Auctioneer, or anyone else if the internet service fails to work correctly before or during the auction.
