NEITHER SELLER NOR SVD MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE NATURE, QUALITY, VALUE OR CONDITION OF ANY ASSET. SVD AND SELLER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY (A) WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY; (B) WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; OR (C) WARRANTY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF A THIRD PARTY; WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY LAW, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE OF TRADE, OR OTHERWISE.

Bidder acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to inspect all assets prior to tendering its bid and, to the fullest extent allowable under applicable law, waives any and all claims against SVD and Seller relating to its asset purchases. SOME JURISDICTIONS LIMIT OR DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED OR OTHER WARRANTIES SO THE ABOVE DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. YOU AFFIRM THAT SVD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, FOR ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY CLAIMS OR FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE MANUFACTURER'S FAILURE TO HONOR ITS WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS TO YOU. Deposits. Each successful bidder must pay a 25% deposit toward the purchase price immediately following the successful bid. This deposit can be in the form of electronic funds (wire transfer or Zelle app), a cashier's check, or business check with a bank letter of guarantee. If a bidder fails to make a timely deposit, Bidders expressly authorize SVD to use their credit card to satisfy the deposit amount. Invoices & Payment Instructions.

UPON DEFAULT, YOU SHALL LOSE ALL RIGHT, TITLE, AND INTEREST WHICH YOU MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE ACQUIRED IN AND TO SUCH PROPERTY AS TO WHICH DEFAULT HAS OCCURRED. SVD WILL REMARKET AND RE-SELL THE ITEM WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE TO YOU. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES WHICH SVD AND/OR SELLER MAY SUFFER IN THE EVENT THAT BIDDER DEFAULTS. THEREFORE THE PARTIES AGREE THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT THAT SELLER AND SVD WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT THAT BIDDER DEFAULTS AND FAILS TO COMPLETE A PURCHASE IS A SUM EQUAL TO THE LESSER OF (1) 20 PERCENT OF THE INVOICE PRICE OF THE ITEM(S) AS TO WHICH THE DEFAULT HAS OCCURRED, OR (2) THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ORIGINAL INVOICE PRICE AND THE RESOLD PRICE PLUS ANY EXPENSES INCURRED TO RE-MARKET OR RE-SELL THESE ITEMS. IF SVD HAS NOT RECEIVED PAYMENT FOR WINNING BIDS WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE FINAL PAYMENT DATE, THE BIDDER AUTHORIZES SVD TO CHARGE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO THE CREDIT CARD LEFT ON FILE DURING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS AND AGREES THAT SVD MAY RESELL THE ITEM WITHOUT NOTICE TO BIDDER. THESE AMOUNTS WILL BE PAID BY BIDDER TO SVD AS THE FULL, AGREED, AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY BIDDER, AND PROVIDED SUCH SUM PROMPTLY IS PAID OR DISBURSED TO SVD, ALL OTHER CLAIMS TO DAMAGES OR OTHER REMEDIES IN RESPECT OF BIDDER'S BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BEING HEREIN EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY SELLER. SUCH PAYMENT IS NOT INTENDED AS A PENALTY, BUT AS FULL LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. FAILURE TO REMOVE ITEMS BY THE FINAL REMOVAL DATE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE TERMS WILL SUBJECT BIDDER TO PAY AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE EXPENSES INCURRED TO STORE OR TRANSPORT SUCH ITEMS. IF BUYER HAS NOT REMOVED ITEMS WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE FINAL REMOVAL DATE, THE BIDDER AUTHORIZES SVD TO CHARGE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO THE CREDIT CARD LEFT ON FILE DURING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS AND TO RESELL SUCH ITEMS. Taxes. Buyer must also pay to SVD on or before the Final Payment Date, all sales, export, use and other taxes due to any federal, state or local taxing authority (the "Taxes") as a result of Buyer's purchase, including without limitation, any taxes arising from any Buyer's Premium.

To receive the benefit of any tax exemption, Buyer must supply SVD with a sales tax exemption certificate acceptable in form, scope and substance to SVD in SVD'S sole discretion. Buyer's Premium. SVD in its sole discretion may impose a buyer's premium ("Buyer's Premium") on any items sold. The Buyer's Premium is a percentage that is added to the final purchase price of any item. SVD shall charge and collect from each successful bidder a 18% buyer's premium if paying by electronic funds (wire transfer or Zelle app), cashier's or certified check, federal wire transfer or corporate check with a bank guarantee for each sale at the auction, in addition to the purchase price as bid. Removal of Purchased Items. (1) Buyers or their Agents must remove all items purchased before the final removal date and time announced by SVD at the auction (the "Removal Date"). (2) No items shall be removed until the full purchase price and all applicable Taxes thereon have been received by SVD in the form required herein.

Buyer shall be responsible for the safe and proper removal of any items purchased by Buyer at its sole cost and expense. SVD does not pack, ship, store, crate or rig items for removal.

Before items can be removed by an Agent, Agent must provide SVD with (1) proof of payment in full (Paid In Full Invoice) and (2) an "Agent Release Authorization" form which allows SVD to release items to a third party contractor for shipping, crating or packing purposes. Items weighing more than 100 pounds must be removed by a qualified, insured rigger. Before any removal, Buyer must provide SVD with a certificate of insurance from the rigger, which certificate must be in form, scope and content acceptable to SVD in SVD'S sole discretion. Without limiting SVD'S discretion, such certificate must show that the rigger carries comprehensive liability insurance written by an insurance carrier of national standing and in an amount of not less than two million dollars ($2,000,000.00).

Risk of loss on any items shall pass to the Buyer upon payment in full to SVD of all sums due from Buyer in respect to the items. SVD shall have no responsibility whatsoever for any missing or lost items that can be removed by hand if such items have not been removed within forty-eight (48) hours of the conclusion of the sale. There will be no removal of any items until the sale is complete. No returns or refunds will be permitted, unless authorized by the Seller in writing. Adjustments. After Buyer has removed any item from SVD'S possession, SVD shall have no obligation to make any return, adjustment or accommodation to Buyer because of any mistake in quantity or other defect, damage or problem with respect to such item. Buyer must make all requests for adjustments in writing to SVD before any item is removed from the premises where the auction is conducted. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

The parties understand and agree that they are waiving their rights to a jury trial. However, this arbitration provision shall not preclude the parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a state or federal court located in San Mateo County, California and either party may seek any provisional or interim relief that is necessary to protect the rights or property of that party. The party demanding arbitration must submit a written claim to the other party, setting out the basis of the claim. The responding party has 10 business days in which to respond to this demand in a written answer. Should either party refuse or fail to participate in the arbitration, notwithstanding notice in accordance with the applicable law or rules, the arbitrators are empowered to issue any award supported by the evidence presented by the appearing party. Within 10 business days after a dispute subject to arbitration arises, the parties will select an arbitrator. If the parties are unable or unwilling to agree on an arbitrator within that time, each party will designate an arbitrator within 5 business days thereafter, and those two arbitrators will designate a third arbitrator within 5 business days after their designation. If either party fails to select an arbitrator within the designated period, then on the request of either party, the American Arbitration Association will select that arbitrator. All arbitrators must be retired or former judges and have expertise in the process of deciding disputes and interpreting contracts within the auction industry, and must have at least ten years' experience in his or her field. No one who has ever had any business, financial, family, or social relationship with any party may serve as an arbitrator unless the related party informs the other party of the relationship and the other party consents in writing to the use of that arbitrator. The arbitration will take place exclusively in San Mateo County, California, at a time and place selected by the arbitrator. The arbitration must be completed and a decision rendered within six months after the pre-arbitration hearing, unless the parties otherwise agree in writing. The arbitrator will establish any deadlines necessary to accomplish this goal. The arbitrator has the following powers: (a) To issue subpoenas for the attendance of witnesses and subpoenas duces tecum for the production of books, records, documents, and other evidence from third parties; (b) To order depositions to be used as evidence; (c) To enforce the rights, remedies, procedures, duties, liabilities, and obligations of discovery as if the arbitration were a civil action before a California superior court; (d) To conduct a hearing on the arbitrable issues; (e) To administer oaths to parties and witnesses; (f) To impose sanctions and to take other actions with regard to the parties that the arbitrators deem necessary to the same extent that a judge could do so pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure; (g) To enter and serve a written award after the arbitration hearing is concluded; and (h) To correct the award on the grounds for correction stated in California Code of Civil Procedure �1286.6(a) and (c) within 10 days after serving a signed copy of the award on the party asking for correction. The arbitrator(s) shall have discretion to order prehearing exchange of information, including but not limited to the production of requested documents and exchanges of summaries of testimony of proposed witnesses. No more than 30 calendar days before the arbitration, a party may serve a document request calling for any document that would be discoverable in civil litigation in accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure. The party served with this request will deliver the requested documents and any objections within 10 business days. Thereafter, each party may take no more than two depositions, each of which will last no more than 4 hours each. There shall be an early and prompt designation and exchange of the names and addresses of expert witnesses who may be called upon to testify at the arbitration hearing and their depositions and all other discovery shall be allowed by the arbitrators upon a showing of good cause. Any additional discovery shall be conducted at the discretion of the arbitrators. The arbitrator may resolve any dispute regarding discovery as they would be resolved in state civil litigation (e.g. CCP � 1283.05). Within 15 days after completion of the arbitration, the arbitrator will submit a tentative decision in writing, including factual findings and specifying the reasoning for the decision and any calculations necessary to explain the award. Each party has 15 days in which to submit written comments to the tentative decision. Within 10 days after the deadline for written comments, the arbitrator will announce the final award. The arbitrators shall not have the power to commit errors of law or legal reasoning. The award is subject to review for legal error, confirmation, correction or vacatur only in a California state court of competent jurisdiction and only pursuant to the California Arbitration Act. A party may apply to such court for an order confirming, modifying or vacating the award. The court shall have the power to review (a) whether the findings of fact rendered by the arbitrators are supported by substantial evidence and (b) whether, as a matter of law based on such findings of fact, the award should be confirmed, corrected or vacated. Upon such determination, judgment shall be entered in favor of either party consistent therewith. Each party to the arbitration shall promptly pay a pro rata share of the arbitrator's expenses and fees, and the other arbitration expenses incurred or approved by the arbitrator, excluding attorney's fees, witness fees, and other expenses incurred by a party for its own benefit. The parties must estimate their costs in good faith and pay their estimated share before commencement of the arbitration. Any extra arbitration costs will be paid within 10 business days after the close of the proceeding and before the award. A party that fails to pay its share will not be allowed to participate in the arbitration. If a party fails to pay its share, the other parties will pay pro rata the cost of the party that failed to pay. The arbitrators will add that payment to the final award in a manner as to return the parties to the position they would have been in, to the greatest extent possible, if all had paid their share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrators may award the prevailing party its expenses and fees of arbitration, including reasonable attorney's fees and witness fees and costs, in whatever proportion the arbitrators decide. Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. With respect to all persons and entities, regardless of whether they have obtained or used the Services or the Website for personal, commercial or other purposes, all claims must be brought in the parties' individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, private attorney general action or other representative proceeding. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims. You agree that, by entering into this agreement, you and SVD are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding of any kind.
