By accepting these terms, you acknowledge you have reviewed the North Carolina Real Estate Commission's "Working with a Real Estate Broker" form and will sign if you are the winning bidder. (See form below) Buyer's Premium: There will be a Ten Percent (10%) Buyer’s Premium added to the final bid price to determine the final contract purchase price. For example, a bid of $100,000 is a contract price of $110,000. Identity/Credit Verification: To verify the identity of the cardholder and that the credit card used is valid, we require a $100.00 authorization hold to be placed on your credit card to complete your registration. This hold will be removed by your bank in a 24/48-hour timeframe (varies bank to bank). Bidding rights are provisional, and if complete verification is not possible, The Swicegood Group, Inc. will cancel your registration, and bidding activity will be terminated. The Seller and The Swicegood Group, Inc. reserve the right to refuse service to any person who they feel to be fraudulent. Seller’s Side Attorney: TBD Auction Ending: Online auctions are timed events, and all bidding will begin to close at a specified time. Online auctions also have an auto-extend feature. Any bid placed in the final few minutes of the auction will automatically extend the auction minutes from the time the bid was placed. Example: If an auction is scheduled to close at 6:00 and we receive a bid at 5:59, the close time will automatically extend the bidding window. The auto-extend feature will continue all lots until the bidding has ended. If the auto-extend time needs to be increased or decreased, The Swicegood Group, Inc. may do so at any time during the auction until the close of bidding. Outbid /Back-In Notification/Max Bid: During this auction process, there is a chance that you will be outbid. If you have the bidding app, you will receive a popup notification, otherwise, you will receive an email. It is the responsibility of the bidder to realize and maintain their desired bidding position. You may place a maximum (max bid) which will allow the computer to protect you up to that amount. If you place a bid and immediately get a message that you have been outbid, that means someone has already placed a max bid and you will need to continue bidding until you are the high bidder to supersede the previously inputted max bid. Property Information & Inspection: The Swicegood Group, Inc. is not responsible for any missing or incorrect listing information. The Swicegood Group, Inc. has attempted to provide accurate descriptions; however, it is the Bidder's responsibility to conduct inspections to determine the condition and feasibility of the Bidder’s intended use.
