Maximum bids are strictly confidential. 11.8 Successful Bids: The fall of Insta Auction’s hammer indicates the final bid. Insta Auction will record the paddle number of the Bidder. 11.09 Unsold Lots: If a lot does not reach the reserve, it is bought in. In other words, it remains unsold and is returned to the Consignor. Insta Auction has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction.

In conformity with ”do-not-call” regulations promulgated by the Federal or State regulatory agencies, participation by the Bidder is affirmative consent to being contacted at the phone number shown in his application, and this consent shall remain in effect until it is revoked in writing. Insta Auction may occasionally contact Bidders concerning available sale, purchase, and auction opportunities. 11.13 Rules of Construction: Nothing herein shall be construed to waive the general Conditions of Sale by these additional rules and shall be construed to give force and effect to the laws in their entirety. Section 12 Insta Auction’s Remedies 12.1 Failure of the Bidder to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale or the terms of the Registration Form is an event of material breach or default. In such event, Insta Auction may, in addition to any other available remedies specifically including the right to hold the defaulting Bidder liable for the Purchase Price or to charge and collect from the defaulting Bidder’s credit or debit accounts as provided for elsewhere herein: (a) cancel the sale, retaining any payment made by the Bidder as damages (the Bidder understands and acknowledges that Insta Auction will be substantially damaged should such default occur, and that damages under sub-part (a) are necessary to compensate Insta Auction for such damages); (b) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately; (c) charge the Bidder interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of two percent (2%) per month or the highest allowable interest rate; (d) take any other action that Insta Auction, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to preserve and protect Insta Auction’s rights and remedies.

If such Bidder is the successful Bidder on more than one lot and pays less than the purchase price for the total lots purchased, Insta Auction shall apply the payment received to such lot or lots that Insta Auction, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. If Insta Auction does not exercise such discretion, the lots to which the payment shall be applied will be in descending order from the highest purchase price to the lowest.

They are not representations or warranties, and Bidder agrees and acknowledges that he or she shall not rely on them in determining whether or not to bid or for what price. Price estimates (determined well before the Auction and therefore subject to revision) and condition reports are provided solely as a convenience to Bidders. They are not intended nor shall they be relied on by Bidders as statements, representations, or warranties of actual value or predictions of final bid prices. 13.3 Insta Auction complies with all Federal and State rules and regulations relating to the purchasing, registering, and shipping of firearms.

Any statements, oral or written, made by employees, agents, or representatives of Insta Auction to Bidder, including statements regarding specific lots, even if such employee, agent, or representative represents that such statement is authorized unless reduced to a written signed Bidder and by an authorized officer of Insta Auction by all parties, are statements of personal opinion only and are not binding on Insta Auction, and under no circumstances shall be relied upon by Bidder as a statement, representation or warranty of Insta Auction. Section 15 Bidder’s Remedies 15.1 Except as expressly stated herein, Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy relating to items it bids upon, views, or purchases from Insta Auction, and any claims by Bidder related to authenticity, ownership, condition, title, or value, shall be against Consignor only. 15.2 This section sets forth the sole and exclusive remedies of Bidder against Insta Auction (including its affiliates, officers, managers, employees, or agents) or in any way arising out of, related to, or in connection with these Conditions of Sale. It is expressly in place of any other rights or remedies available to Bidder by law. Time is of the essence concerning these procedures. 15.3 Title to Items The Bidder hereby accepts the benefit of the Consignor’s warranty of title and any other representations or warranties made for the Bidder’s benefit. Suppose Bidder demonstrates in writing, satisfactory to the sole discretion of Insta Auction, that there was a breach of the Consignor’s warranty of title concerning a lot purchased by Bidder. In that case, Insta Auction may make a demand upon the Consignor to pay to Bidder the Purchase Price (including any premiums, taxes, or other amounts paid or due to Insta Auction). Should the Consignor not pay the Purchase Price to Bidder within thirty days after such demand (if any is made), Insta Auction may disclose the identity of the Consignor to Bidder. It may assign to Bidder all or some of Insta Auction’s rights against the Consignor concerning such lot or property. Upon such disclosure and/or assignment, all responsibility and liability of Insta Auction, if any, about said lot or item shall automatically terminate related to or arising from these Conditions of Sale or such transaction operating as a complete waiver and general release by Bidder as to Insta Auction and its agents, contractors, and affiliates, as to any and all claims concerning or related to the item, if any. Insta Auction shall be entitled to retain the premiums and other amounts paid to Insta Auction by Consignor only. The rights and remedies provided herein are for the original Bidder only, and they may not be assigned or relied upon by any transferee or assignee under any circumstances. 15.4 Authenticity Challenge Process (1) If Bidder wishes to dispute or challenge the Authenticity of the lot or item (including asserting that it is incorrect), Bidder must adhere to the following procedure: Within five (5) days of pick up or receipt of the item, Bidder must present written evidence, tracking information to Insta Auction at info@insta-auction.com that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the field (and one recognized by Insta Auction within its discretion). The Bidder must ship the item or lot to Insta Auction, 2531 Briarcliff Rd., Atlanta, Ga. 30329 Ste 106 at Bidders expense, with tracking and insurance, along with all evidence relied upon by Bidder for contesting the Authenticity. Item must be received by Insta-Auction within seven (7) days of Delivery or pick up of Item. No Exceptions, as we have to settle with our consignors. (“Authenticity Challenge Process”) “Authenticity” shall mean a gross discrepancy between the description, genuineness, or attribution of the item as represented by Insta Auction in the Catalog or at the auction and the item. If Insta Auction concurs that the lot is not Authentic as was represented (it is sole discretion), Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy is against Insta Auction (inclusive of its affiliates, agents, employees, and contractors) shall be a refund of the purchase price of the subject item paid by Bidder, with no other costs, liabilities or amounts recoverable by Bidder. If Insta Auction disagrees with the assertion by Bidder, then the Parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures of these Conditions of Sale. Strict adherence to the Authenticity Challenge Process is a condition of standing for Bidder to initiate a suit or claim. (2) So long as Bidder has complied with the Authenticity Challenge Process, any claim, suit, or action by Bidder concerning a Certification of Authenticity or related to the authenticity of the item must, without any exception, be brought within one (1) year of Auction Date and is subject to the other limitations and conditions stated in the Conditions of Sale. NO RETURN OR REFUND OF ANY AUCTION LOT WILL BE CONSIDERED OR PROVIDED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BIDDERS OR AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW.
