ABSENTEE AND INTERNET BIDDING: As a convenience to customers who cannot be present at this sale, we will execute order/absentee bids or allow bidding on behalf of absentee customers or purchase of auction lots. Absentee bids and phone bids will be executed by Augusta Auction Co. personnel in a competitive and confidential manner. Phone bid arrangements must be made at least 12 hours prior to start of the auction. The Auction House is not responsible for any errors or omissions, or failure by customer to purchase any lot as a result of bidding through absentee, phone or live auction bidding. This Auction will move quickly. Attending the sale in person will reduce the risk of missed bids caused by power outages, Internet connectivity or any possible technological difficulties. All winning bids must be confirmed directly by Augusta Auction Co. in order to be valid. Notifications received through the Live Auctioneers system are not final or binding until confirmed by Augusta Auction Co. The Auction House will make every effort to ensure that online Bidders are treated equitably, accurately and identically to those from other venues. However, due to the unique features of online bidding, there is no guarantee that the item will not sell to another Bidder for less than your last intended bid due to internet traffic, or other delays outside of our control. The Auction House accepts no liability for failure of the Internet, FAX, phone or failure by any email to reach its destination within the expected time or at all. The Auction House and the Auctioneer have the sole and exclusive power, discretion, and authority to regulate the bidding and its increments.

TAX: All purchases are subject to Vermont sales tax of 6% unless the purchaser possesses a valid sales tax exemption number, or the item(s) is being shipped out of state. A recent Supreme Court ruling requires that purchases shipped from our Vermont location may be subject to applicable use tax of another state or foreign country. Invoices to purchasers may have appropriate sales tax added to their invoice unless they have filed a sales tax exemption form with Live Auctioneers or with the Auction House prior to the sale. On any tax not paid by Bidder which should have been paid, even if not collected by Augusta Auction Co. by mistake, error, or negligence, Bidder agrees to promptly pay the same on demand together with any interest or penalty that may be assessed. Exemption numbers from participating states are per state tax codes. Tax numbers must be registered at the time a Bidder number is issued. Signed documentation may be required to qualify for tax exemptions. PACKING/SHIPPING/INSURANCE: The cost of packing and shipping of purchased lots is the responsibility of the purchaser. We have added personnel to our staff to pack and ship lots purchased by on-line Bidders.

In addition, the actual cost of shipping & insurance will be charged to your account or invoiced to you. All shipments are sent via UPS, FedEx or the United States Postal Service and insured for the hammer price.

The total cost will be charged to the credit card on file or paid directly to the Auction House. Due to the volume of shipping anticipated after the sales event, packing and shipping may require up to fourteen (14) business days from receipt of cleared payment.
