This is a legally binding contract between you, referred to as the “Bidder,” and Chatham Auction, referred to as the “Auction House.” 1. Item Condition: The Bidder acknowledges all items are sold “AS-IS” and “WHERE IS.” The Auction House does not guarantee the condition or usability of items up for auction. The Auction House will make its best effort to write accurate descriptions of each item up for auction. This is a service provided to the Bidder. The Bidder does not hold the Auction House responsible for bidding and winning items that are broken, defective, or damaged in any way. The Auction House strongly recommends that each Bidder attends the preview days provided so they can inspect each item they wish to bid on. 2. Loading Items: The Bidder agrees to bring help to load larger items. The Auction House DOES NOT provide help for loading large items into vehicles or trailers. The Auction House does not provide bags, paper, or other wrapping material when picking up lots of the Bidder has won. The Bidder must remove the items safely. The Bidders agree to pay all costs associated with damages that may happen when the Bidder and their helpers move items. If the Bidder damages anything while removing the items, their credit card on file will be charged for all costs associated with fixing said damages. Suppose a representative from the Auction House helps load or pack up an item. In that case, the Bidder does not hold the Auction House or their representative liability for any damage to the items or property of any kind. 3. Picking Up, After Pick Up Fees, and Storage Fees: If the auction is not located at our auction house, no storage will be available. The Bidder agrees to pick up the items on time. The Bidder agrees to pick up all items listed on their invoice. If the Bidder, or representative/agent of the Bidder, cannot pick up the items during the pick-up date and times provided, PLEASE DO NOT BID on any items. If your items are not picked up and paid for by the time the auction scheduled pick up has concluded, a Storage Fee will be added to the Bidders invoice. The minimum fee for this is $20. This fee covers our time to move and store your items for up to 5 business days. If you choose not to pick up your items after five business days, they will be considered abandoned, and no refunds will be given. In this case, there will be a minimum charge of $5 per lot ($25 for furniture) to dispose of or relist those items. Any additional storage, if approved by Auction House, will be assessed at $5 per day per lot. These charges will automatically be charged to the card on file at the end of each month. If the card on file is declined, and the Bidder does not take action by picking up their items and paying their invoice in full, the auction house will take legal action at some point in the future and send the bill to collections. Once in collections, you waive your right to the items won at auction, and your bill must be handled through the collection department. 4. Payment: You agree to pay for your entire invoice in full. After the auction has been completed, the Auction House may charge the card on file for the items. If you are paying CASH, please put the word CASH in the notes in the auctioneer’s section of the registration. For invoices over $2000, the Bidder will pay via bank wire transfer. We may charge the card on file for a deposit on any invoice. Failure to pay for your entire invoice will result in the auction house taking legal action against the full invoice amount plus any other storage and removal fees. 5. Buyer’s Premium and Sales Tax: The Bidder understands that each item up for auction will have a buyer’s premium of 16% added to the price of each item.

Info Changes: The Bidder agrees to let the Auction Houses know of any changes with their contact information or credit information as soon as the Bidder knows. 10. Bidding Errors and Software Malfunctions: If you have made an error bidding, the Bidder must contact the Auction Houses immediately. Bidding errors can not be fixed after the bidding has closed on those items. If you have made a bidding error on the last day of the auction, we may not be able to fix those issues as we may not see your request before the auction closes. If we can not fix those issues on the last day of the auction, you will be responsible for paying your invoice amount. The Auction Houses will not assume any bid is an error. If there is a malfunction within the software and bidding the Auction Houses is using, the Bidder will not hold the Auction House accountable. 11. Lot Removal: We reserve the right to remove any lots or items from the auction, even if bids have already been placed on them. We can do this anytime without notice, including, but not limited to, after the auction has concluded. 12. Staggered Closing and Soft Closing: The Auction Houses use staggered closing, which means that lots close within seconds of each other, giving everyone a chance to view each item closing in real-time. The Auction Houses also use soft closing, meaning an auction item ends only after a specific time without any additional bids. This prevents sniping and gives every Bidder a fair chance at winning that item. 13. Bidder Notification: If the Bidder has won any items at the auction, the Auction House will notify them via email to let them know the items they have won and the amount they owe. This is the only contact the Bidder will receive from the Auction Houses. Please make sure you check your email after the auction has closed. If the Bidder won an item at the auction and does not receive this email, contact the auction house. Please check your spam file if you do not find it. 14. Third Party Liability: The Bidder will not hold the Auction House liable for any action a third party does. This includes but is not limited to, actions done by fellow Bidders, Auction Houses clients, friends and family of the clients of the Auction Houses, or any person who commits a crime (I.E., breaking in and stealing or vandalizing auction lots) before, during, or after the auction has finished. 15. Auction House Liability: The bidders agree not to hold the Auction Houses responsible for any damages or injuries that may happen when attending the inspection/preview day or auction pick-up days. The Auction Houses ask the Bidder to watch their steps inside the auction areas, as there may be some elevation changes or steps. The Bidder will not hold the auction house liable for any damages or injuries resulting from the items won at auction. 16. Legal Recourse: If an issue arises between the Bidder and Auction Houses, the Bidder must take all disputes to mediation rather than litigation to resolve their dispute. The Bidder agrees that their dispute cannot be combined with any other person or party. The Bidder agrees to pay for all mediation costs regardless of the outcome. The Auction House reserves the right to use all legal means, including but not limited to small claims court, to receive monetary damages resulting from actions of the Bidder. 17. Client Rights: The clients of the Auction Houses have the right to bid on and win any items they have put to auction. The Clients agree to pay for all items and buyers premiums associated with any lots they have won. 18. These Terms and Conditions can be changed at any time without notice.

There may be items in the background, but those are not included in the lot unless told otherwise. 20. If we are holding the auction at our warehouse, and you miss the pick-up window but still wish to pick up your items, there will be a storage fee of $5 per lot per day. After one week from the time the pick-up windows, you forfeit the right to those items, and your credit card on file may be charged for the items and fees (including storage fees). We also reserve the right to enforce the rest of our terms and conditions. 21. Credit Card Disputes: You agree not to conduct a credit dispute if the Auction House charges your card for a partial or full payment and you do not pick up your items. In the event the Bidder disputes a charge on their credit card from the Auction House, the Bidder agrees to pay the Auction House a $200 fee to cover the cost of the dispute and the time associated with fighting it. 22.
