YOUR participation in the auction — whether at the auction site, online, by phone, or through any other means — is conclusive evidence of your full agreement to be bound by all bidder terms and conditions.
3. Bidder Registration and Qualification
A valid credit or debit card is required to be approved for bidding. Upon registering, an authorization of $500.00 will be placed against the credit or debit card used for registration as a pre-authorization to verify bidder identity and the availability of funds; this is not a permanent charge. As part of this process, YOUR card-issuing bank may also place a temporary hold against YOUR card.

A Lot may be sold to another Bidder for the maximum amount of an Absentee Bid based on a bidding sequence that causes another Bidder to reach that amount first. Auctioneer acts as agent of the Seller only, and receipt or execution of Absentee Bids does not create an agency relationship between Auctioneer and any Absentee Bidder.
7. Online Auction and Online Bidding
How Online Bidding Works.
Online bids may be submitted as a single advancing bid or as a maximum bid, and bidding will advance competitively to the next available increment. If YOU submit a maximum bid and another Bidder has previously submitted a higher maximum bid, YOU will be outbid.
Auto-Extend Feature.
If a bid is placed within 3 minutes of the scheduled closing time on any Lot, the closing time for that Lot will automatically reset to 3 minutes. This continues on an item-by-item basis until no further bids are received within the final 3 minutes, at which point bidding closes.
Restrictions on Use.
YOU agree that YOU will not use any robot, spider, automated device, or manual process to monitor, copy, or interfere with the Online Auction Platform, and YOU will not take any action that imposes an unreasonable load on Auctioneer’s online infrastructure.
Technology Disruptions.
The auction is conducted electronically and relies on hardware and software that may malfunction without warning. Auctioneer will not be responsible for technology disruptions, errors, or failures — including disruptions to bidding or the failure to execute, recognize, or record online bids — whether caused by (i) loss of connectivity or failure of the Online Auction Platform, (ii) failure of a Bidder’s internet connection, computer, or system, or (iii) otherwise. Auctioneer may, but will not be required to, continue, suspend, delay, extend, reschedule, or close the auction because of technology failures, even after bidding has commenced. Under no circumstances will Auctioneer be liable for any failure of the Online Auction Platform Provider or its affiliates, employees, agents, or contractors to perform. The Online Auction Platform and Auctioneer’s website are provided on an “as is” basis without warranties of any kind.
Account Security.
YOU are responsible for monitoring and maintaining the security of YOUR Bidder Account. If YOU know or suspect YOUR account has been compromised, YOU must notify Auctioneer in writing immediately.
8. No Bid Retraction
Once a bid has been acknowledged by Auctioneer or submitted online, YOU may not retract or revoke it without Auctioneer’s express consent. YOUR bid constitutes an irrevocable offer. Bidders that cannot satisfy the terms of the auction should not bid.
9. Responsibility for Bids
YOU are responsible for all bids made using YOUR Bidder Number or Bidder Account. If a Winning Bid is submitted from YOUR account, YOU are the Buyer. If YOUR account is lost, stolen, or compromised, notify Auctioneer immediately; YOU will be liable for all bids tendered prior to giving Auctioneer notice.
10. Conduct of the Auction; Auctioneer’s Authority
Auctioneer will regulate all matters relating to the conduct of the auction, and Auctioneer’s decisions will be final and binding. Auctioneer reserves the right to: (i) add or remove items prior to the commencement of bidding; (ii) split or combine Lots prior to the commencement of bidding; (iii) cancel, suspend, extend, or reschedule any item or the entire auction event; and (iv) make changes to closing, inspection, or removal times. Auctioneer may reopen bidding if a bid goes unrecognized or a bidding dispute arises. Auctioneer’s determination of the Winning Bidder will be final and conclusive.
11. Competitive Bidding Integrity
Collusive bidding, bid pooling, fictitious bidding, and any other practices designed to suppress or manipulate competitive bidding are strictly prohibited and may result in criminal penalties under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act and other applicable laws. Wiregrass Auction Group reserves the right to immediately revoke the bidding privileges of any bidder suspected of such conduct and to report the activity to the appropriate authorities.
12. Winning Bidder; Contract of Sale
The Bidder making the Winning Bid on any Lot will be the Buyer of that Lot. No additional writing will be required to evidence the contract of sale for any Lot, regardless of the Contract Price. These Bidder Terms and Conditions, together with Auctioneer’s clerking records identifying the Lot, the Hammer Price, and the Buyer, will be conclusive evidence of the terms of the sale.
13. All Property Sold “As Is, Where Is, With All Faults”
All Lots are sold in their as-is, where-is condition at the time of the auction, with all faults, including any hidden defects of any nature. Neither Auctioneer nor Seller makes any representations, warranties, or guarantees whatsoever, express or implied, regarding the nature, value, source, authenticity, fitness, merchantability, or any other aspect of any Lot. No verbal or written statement by Auctioneer or Seller constitutes a warranty or representation of any kind.
Descriptions of auction items are believed to be correct and are provided in good faith but are matters of opinion and are not guaranteed by the Seller or Wiregrass Auction Group. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free of defects. All items may show normal signs of age, wear, and commercial use. Please contact Wiregrass before the auction with any condition questions. Questions about condition will not be answered after purchase. By bidding, YOU acknowledge that YOU have had a full and fair opportunity to inspect all Lots and that YOU are relying solely on YOUR own inspection and judgment.
14. Description of Lots
Unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, any description of a Lot is based solely on visual impression, is given solely for identification purposes, and does not create any warranty, express or implied, or any representation by Auctioneer or Seller. Makes, models, sizes, capacities, and serial numbers are provided as a convenience only and are not guaranteed. Where a description and a photograph conflict, the description controls.
15. Inspection; Photographs; Due Diligence
By bidding, YOU acknowledge that YOU have had a full and fair opportunity to inspect the Lot(s) and that YOU are relying solely on YOUR inspection and investigation. YOU further acknowledge that any photographs or images of Lots are adequate for YOUR purposes. If a pre-auction inspection is not available, YOU acknowledge that YOU are knowingly bidding without one, that YOU are not relying on any representations by Auctioneer or Seller, and that YOU assume all associated risks.
16. All Sales Final
All sales are final. No refunds, returns, or exchanges will be permitted for any reason.
17. Announcements
All terms, conditions, and announcements made by Auctioneer in connection with the auction are binding and take precedence over any prior advertisements, listings, or other communications.
18. Buyer’s Premium
Each Lot is subject to a Buyer’s Premium as set forth in Part 1 (18% for credit card payments; 15% for cash, cashier’s check, or wire transfer). The Buyer’s Premium is calculated as a percentage of the Hammer Price, is paid by the Buyer in addition to the Hammer Price, is earned by Auctioneer at the Fall of the Hammer, and will not be refunded under any circumstances. The Buyer’s Premium is added to the Hammer Price to determine the Contract Price for tax purposes.
19. Sales Tax
Georgia sales and use tax of 8% (Thomas County) will be calculated on the Contract Price (Hammer Price plus Buyer’s Premium). Buyers purchasing for resale or otherwise claiming an exemption must provide Auctioneer with a valid Georgia sales tax exemption certificate prior to the close of the auction; certificates provided after the auction closes will not be accepted. It is the Buyer’s sole responsibility to determine whether an exemption applies and to provide the required documentation in advance.
20. Title
If YOU are certified as the Winning Bidder on a Lot, YOU will be contractually obligated to pay the Contract Price. Title and ownership of the Lot will not pass from Seller to YOU until payment is made and clears in full.
21. Equipment Not Guaranteed Operable
No representation is made that any item of equipment is in working order, complete, code-compliant, or fit for commercial use. Refrigeration, cooking, warewashing, and dispensing equipment may require service, parts, or replacement components, and any item demonstrated during inspection is demonstrated without warranty as to continued operation. Buyers are solely responsible for confirming that any equipment purchased meets applicable building, fire, electrical, plumbing, gas, and health department requirements at the Buyer’s intended location. Point of sale hardware, security equipment, network equipment, and any other electronic device is sold as hardware only, without software licenses, accounts, subscriptions, service agreements, warranties, or data, and Buyers are responsible for obtaining any license or subscription required to operate such equipment.
22. Payment
Payment in full is due no later than the end of the scheduled Load-Out Period specified in Part 1. Online purchases must be paid by credit card, debit card, cashier’s check, or wire transfer. No personal or business checks will be accepted. Wiregrass Auction Group reserves the right to require verified funds from any bidder at any time, and to charge the purchaser’s card on file for any unpaid purchase amount. Purchases totaling $2,500.00 or more must be paid by wire transfer unless other arrangements acceptable to Auctioneer are made prior to the close of the auction.
23. No Stop Payment Orders; No Chargebacks
YOU agree that YOU will not issue a stop payment order on any payment instrument submitted in connection with the auction, or initiate a credit card or debit card chargeback with respect to any purchase. These Bidder Terms and Conditions will be conclusive evidence of YOUR contractual waiver, and Auctioneer may present them to the applicable bank or card company. Regardless of the outcome of any dispute process, YOU will remain personally liable to Auctioneer for the full Contract Price of all purchases, together with all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
24. Failure to Pay
If YOU fail to pay for YOUR purchase(s) by the payment deadline, YOU will be deemed to have abandoned any interest in the Lot(s) but will remain liable for the full Contract Price. Unpaid Lots may be retained by Seller, resold at a subsequent auction, or otherwise disposed of. If unpaid Lots are resold, YOU will be liable for any shortfall or deficiency on the resale, the Buyer’s Premium, and all costs of resale, and YOU will not be entitled to any surplus. Failure to pay may result in YOU being banned from all future Wiregrass Auction Group auctions.
25. Returned Checks
Any cashier’s check or other instrument returned unpaid will be subject to a returned item fee of $75.00, and Auctioneer will be entitled to recover all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in collecting any returned instrument.
26. IRS Form 8300; Cash Reporting Requirements
Federal law requires Wiregrass Auction Group to file IRS Form 8300 for any transaction or series of related transactions in which cash or cash equivalents totaling $10,000.00 or more are received. If YOUR purchases at any single auction total $10,000.00 or more and YOU pay with any combination of such instruments, YOU will be required to provide YOUR full legal name, address, Social Security Number or Tax Identification Number, and date of birth for compliance purposes; failure to provide this information will result in cancellation of YOUR purchase. Federal law also prohibits the structuring of transactions to avoid the $10,000.00 reporting threshold, which is a crime under 31 U.S.C. § 5324. Wiregrass Auction Group is required to report any suspected structuring activity to federal authorities.
27. Pickup, Removal, and Delivery
YOU are solely responsible for the pickup, loading, removal, disassembly, rigging, shipping, and transportation of all Lots purchased by YOU. Wiregrass Auction Group staff will not assist with loading, lifting, or moving items under any circumstances. Please bring adequate help, equipment, and appropriate vehicles to remove YOUR purchases during the scheduled Load-Out Period specified in Part 1. Removal must be done in a workmanlike manner, and YOU will indemnify and hold harmless Auctioneer and Seller against any damage caused by YOU or YOUR agents in connection with removal. YOU must notify Auctioneer in writing, in advance, if any other person will pick up YOUR purchases on YOUR behalf. YOU are responsible for insuring all Lots purchased by YOU from the time of the Fall of the Hammer. Possession and risk of loss pass to YOU at the time of pickup at the Auction Site or delivery to a carrier at the Auction Site.
28. Buyer-Responsible Rigging, Permits, and Licensed Trades
Many Lots in this auction are hardwired, plumbed, gas-connected, bolted, mounted, or otherwise built in or affixed. YOU are solely responsible for providing YOUR own licensed and insured labor, riggers, tools, materials, and freight to disconnect and remove such Lots, and for obtaining any permit required for removal. Where disconnection of electrical, plumbing, or gas service is required, YOU must engage a licensed electrician, plumber, or gas fitter, as applicable. All disconnected lines, conduits, drains, and gas connections must be properly capped, sealed, or made safe by YOUR contractor before YOUR contractor leaves the Auction Site. Neither Auctioneer nor Seller will disconnect, dismantle, load, assist with, or supervise the removal of any Lot.
29. Contractor Insurance; Certificates of Insurance
Any contractor, rigger, mover, or tradesperson entering the Auction Site on YOUR behalf must carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance and must furnish a certificate of insurance to Auctioneer prior to entry. Auctioneer may deny site access to any contractor who has not furnished a certificate of insurance. YOU agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Auctioneer, Seller, and the owner of the premises from any claim, damage, injury, or loss arising from the removal activities of YOU or YOUR agents, employees, or contractors.
30. Damage to Premises; Condition Following Removal
YOU are responsible for any damage to the Auction Site caused during removal beyond the cosmetic wear ordinarily incident to the removal of the property purchased. YOU must protect floors, walls, doorways, ceilings, and building systems during removal, and must leave YOUR work area broom clean. Any damage to land or buildings caused during removal will be repaired at YOUR expense.
31. Removal Deadline; Abandoned Property
The Auction Site is leased premises, and Auctioneer’s right of access to the building ends at the conclusion of the Load-Out Period. For that reason, no storage of purchased property is available at the Auction Site, and no extension of the Removal Deadline will be granted. Any Lot not removed by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 16, 2026 will be deemed abandoned to Auctioneer. Upon abandonment, YOU waive all right, title, and interest in such Lot(s) and all monies paid, with no refund and no credit, and YOU will not be entitled to any proceeds if such Lot(s) are subsequently sold. Auctioneer may thereafter sell, donate, dispose of, or discard abandoned property in its sole discretion, and YOU will remain liable for any removal, disposal, or restoration cost incurred as a result. YOU expressly waive any and all claims for deficiency, recoupment, setoff, conversion, or trover relating to abandoned Lots.
32. Claims After Removal
After a Lot has been removed from the Auction Site by YOU or on YOUR behalf, and/or after the posted Removal Deadline — regardless of whether the Lot has been physically removed — no claims, returns, adjustments, or rescissions will be allowed for any reason, including any alleged failure of a Lot to correspond with any description, standard, or expectation. Any claim regarding shortage or misdescription must be made at the Auction Site, at the time of removal, before the Lot leaves the premises.
33. Buyer Remedies; No Consequential Damages
To the extent YOU may be entitled to any damages or remedies, YOUR sole and exclusive remedy is a return of the Hammer Price actually paid. Under no circumstances will Auctioneer or Seller be liable for incidental or consequential damages, including lost profits or reduced productivity, and YOU are not entitled to specific performance or other equitable relief.
