CAUTION TO THE BIDDER:

For demonstration purposes, various pieces of equipment or merchandise may be joined together. Do not assume a lot consists of more than one item simply because they are connected together. You are bidding on the item as it is described and not necessarily for all the items featured in the photo. 1-2 Another and Equip-Bid makes an effort to ensure the descriptions are accurate and the photos match as well. However, an error can occur in the listing and in that case it will be the description and not the photo that will be the item won. If you feel there is a discrepancy or error between a listing and a photo, contact 1-2 Another or Equip-Bid for clarification and notification of error.

WARRANTY & CONDITIONS OF ITEMS SOLD:

All items are sold AS IS, WHERE IS, with NO WARRANTY expressed or implied by the lot number affixed to the item. This sale is to the business community as equipment and inventory without any implied or expressed warranty. Descriptions are believed to be accurate but not guaranteed. When not certain of the condition or use of an item, please utilize any posted review date time permitted prior to the conclusion of the sale, and bid accordingly.

CHOOSE WISELY:

We want everyone to get a good deal, and most will. However, when you bid on the wrong item or decide an item is not suited for your intended use, our clients are not willing to assume the cost of your mistake. Once bidding ends, the item is contractually sold to the highest bidder and that item is the buyers property. When in doubt about condition, completeness or suitability for intended use, please bid accordingly. Equip-Bid reserves the right to add or remove items from an auction, split or combine lots, add minimum bids or reserve prices, cancel, suspend, extend or reschedule an item and/or auction event, and make changes to the auction closing, inspection, or removal times. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract and/or agreement, or breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgments upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

1-2 Another, Equip-Bid and Sellers liability shall be limited to the refund of bidders purchase price.

The above-stated Terms and Conditions for 1-2 Another and Equip-Bid Auctions cannot be altered except in writing by 1-2 Another and Equip-Bid.
