GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS for Online Bidding

AGENT OF THE SELLER:  Paul McInnis LLC is acting solely as an agent of the seller.

BIDDER REGISTRATION:  In order to bid online, any prospective bidder must first request a Property Information Package. The next step is to create an online bidding account (refer to the Due Diligence Checklist contained in the Property Information Package) and submit your registration form to the auctioneer.

At the time of registration, you will be required to provide your credit card information. A hold of $5,000.00 U.S. dollars on your credit card is required for registration. By registering to bid you understand and agree that if you are not the successful bidder, this hold against your credit card will drop off automatically according to your credit card company's policy. If you are the successful bidder and you fail to comply with the terms of the auction (specifically signing the Real Estate Purchase & Sale Agreement and delivering the required earnest money deposit, both by Monday, June 17^th at 11:00 a.m.), you hereby authorize the auction company to charge your credit card a NON-REFUNDABLE NON-COMPLIANCE FEE in the amount of $5,000 U.S. dollars.

NOTE: If you prefer to pay by check, you may deliver the $5,000 registration deposit to our office.  All terms relating to the registration deposit apply whether the deposit is in the form of a hold on your credit card, or in the form of a check.

Once the Online Bidding Registration Form has been completed, and Paul McInnis LLC has determined that you have met all the requirements, a bidding number will be provided to you.

Your Registration Form must be submitted prior to 11:00 a.m. on Friday, June 14^th in order to participate in the auction.  Please note that Paul McInnis LLC will make our best effort to respond to your request within three hours during normal business hours of Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST.

ONLINE BIDDING:  The bidding will open on Saturday, June 15^th at 10:00 p.m. and the bidding will end when the Auctioneer announces the close of online bidding. The auctioneer will then announce the close of bidding on the floor (on-site).  Bid increments are shown on the bidding portal. It is the bidder’s responsibility to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of their bid(s).  Bidders are encouraged not to wait until the last minute to place a bid. Online bidding is subject to technical difficulties that can develop at any time.

The auctioneer in his sole and absolute discretion reserves the right to cancel, postpone, extend, or reschedule the auction.

DUE DILIGENCE:  It is the bidder’s responsibility to undertake their own due diligence and inspection of the property prior to placing any bids. A complete review of the Property Information Package including the sample Real Estate Purchase & Sale Agreement with your attorney is encouraged.

PROPERTY CONDITIONS:  Except as expressly set forth in the Real Estate Purchase & Sale Agreement, if and when executed, the property is being sold "AS IS," "WHERE IS," and "WITH ALL FAULTS," as of the closing date. Neither the seller, Paul McInnis LLC, nor any of their agents, contractors, attorneys, officers, or directors ("agents") makes any representations or warranties with respect to the physical condition of the land or any improvements thereon, the property’s fitness for any particular purpose, the property’s merchantability, or any other warranty, express or implied.

The seller, Paul McInnis LLC, and their agents specifically disclaim any warranty, guaranty, or representation, oral or written, past or present, express or implied concerning the land and any improvements thereon. Bidders are expected to undertake their own independent physical inspection of the property and public records, and to thoroughly review all documents prior to submitting their bid(s) and to submit their bid(s) based solely on their own independent investigations and findings, including but not limited to bidders’ own independent investigation of the uses, code compliance and land use regulatory approvals necessary for redevelopment and not in reliance on any information provided by the seller, Paul McInnis LLC, or their agents.

BUYER’S PREMIUM:  A 10% (ten percent) Buyer’s Premium will be added to the successful Bid Price to become the Total Purchase Price. Example: $Bid Price + 10% of $Bid Price = $Total Purchase Price due from the Buyer at closing, less any Earnest Money Deposit.

SUCCESSFUL BIDDER:  The successful bidder is defined as that registered bidder who placed the highest bid as declared by the auctioneer and the highest bid being acceptable to the seller. The successful bidder will be notified via email, as well as by telephone confirmation by the auctioneer.

REAL ESTATE PURCHASE & SALE AGREEMENT:  A copy of the agreement is included in the Property Information Package. PLEASE REVIEW it carefully or have your attorney review it. The successful online bidder is required to sign the Real Estate Purchase & Sale Agreement together with all Seller Disclosure Forms without any changes or additional terms and deliver 10% of the total purchase price as the earnest money deposit no later than Monday, June 17^th at 11:00 a.m. Only the buyer’s name, bid price, 10% buyer’s premium, total purchase price, earnest money deposit, and the balance due amount will be entered into the Real Estate Purchase & Sale Agreement.

EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT:  The successful bidder must tender a deposit in the amount of 10% of the total purchase price which is due no later than Monday, June 17^th at 11:00 a.m. The deposit must be by wire, cash, or check payable to Paul McInnis LLC Escrow Account in U.S. funds.

SUCCESSFUL BIDDER DEFAULT:  Should the successful Bidder fail to execute the Real Estate Purchase & Sale Agreement and deliver the earnest money deposit in a timely manner as outlined in these General Terms & Conditions, said bidder hereby authorizes the auction company to retain your $5,000 deposit as a NON-REFUNDABLE NON-COMPLIANCE FEE.

RESERVATION OF RIGHTS:  This auction is subject to approval of the high bid by the seller. The seller in his sole and absolute discretion may enter into a contract with the next highest bidder should the highest accepted bidder default.

ADDITIONAL TERMS:  Additional terms are included in the Real Estate Purchase & Sale Agreement. Any changes or amendments to these General Terms & Conditions and/or to the Real Estate Purchase & Sale Agreement will be communicated to any registered bidder via the email said bidder provided at registration.
