Using YOUR knowledge and experience, form your own opinion of the property and bid accordingly. If you are in doubt, DO NOT BID. The property is SOLD AS-IS, WHERE IS; this is an AUCTION and ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Bids cannot be retracted and are binding contracts between Bidder/Purchaser and Auctioneer/Seller. Bidder/Purchaser is accountable to be informed about property and associated costs before bidding. The starting bid is not the Reserve Price. Auctioneer reserves the right to reopen bidding. Auctioneer’s decisions will be final. Some auctions have a minimum selling price established by Seller (“Reserve Price”). Except where prohibited by law, Auctioneer may counter bid on behalf of Seller on any property up to the amount of the Reserve Price (and no such bid will result in a sale of the property). If the Reserve Price is not met, Seller is under no obligation to sell the property; however, Seller may accept a bid that is below the Reserve Price at its sole discretion. Auctioneer’s decisions will be final.
A relative of the Seller is employed by the sister company of Southern Auction Solutions.

Should the title chain have any issues, both parties agree to extend the closing time for a reasonable length of time to correct the issue. In the event that the title is unmerchantable, then the non-refundable down payment shall be refunded to the Bidder/Purchaser.
11. Changes, Alterations and Announcements: The Auctioneer reserves the right to deny any person admittance to the auction, to postpone or cancel the Auction, to withdraw the property from Auction and to change or alter the terms of the Auction upon announcement prior to or during the course of the Auction sale, without prior notice.
12. Auction subject to Prior Sale: Auction subject to prior sale does not mean it is our intention or goal to sell the property before the auction OR that there is a listed price posted on the property. Southern Auction Solutions is legally bound to present any and all offers to the Seller at the time they are presented. Although we endeavor not to encourage pre-auction offers unless they are exceptional, we are obligated to present all of them, regardless of when, how or from whom they arrive. Although the intent is to auction the listed property, the ultimate goal is to sell the property for a price satisfactory to the Seller or Court, which has jurisdiction. If the property is sold prior to auction, the Auctioneer will do his best to give notice to all other interested parties.
