If a dispute arises after the sale, Millea Bros.' record of the successful buyer and final sale price shall be conclusive.

Under no circumstances will Millea Bros.' liabilities to a purchaser exceed the purchase price actually paid.
 
8) The purchase price of each lot shall be the amount of the successful bid plus a twenty five percent (25%) buyer's premium. Unless exempt by law, all purchases, including buyer's premium, are subject to all state and local taxes applicable at the time of payment.
 
9) All payments are due immediately upon receipt of invoice. Payments will be accepted by cash, check, bank transfer or, for an additonal fee, credit card (on invoices under $10,000). Property purchased during the auction may not be removed until the full purchase price, including buyer's premium and all applicable taxes, have been paid. Millea Bros. reserves the right to hold merchandise purchased by personal check until the check has cleared the bank. The purchaser agrees to pay Millea Bros. a handling charge of $35 for any check returned for insufficient funds. Any invoice not paid in full within thirty (30) days after the auction may be cancelled and the sale rescinded without further notice to the purchaser.
