BINDING CONTRACT
Bidder’s bid at all times represents an irrevocable offer by Bidder to enter into a binding contract to purchase the lot in accordance with the specific provisions of the listing and these general terms and conditions, as applicable. In the event that any reserve price of a lot is not exceeded by any Bidder’s bid WAR, in its sole discretion, with or without the knowledge of or notice to any Bidder, may reduce any reserve price to an amount below the bid of Bidder at any time during an auction and accept the bid made by Bidder. Reserve prices are always the confidential information of WAR and are not disclosed to Bidder’s unless specifically stated as such during bidding. Nothing contained in any listing shall be construed to disclose any reserve price. In the placing of any bid the Bidder understands and agrees that the bid placed, once accepted by WAR, will be the winning bid if there is no higher bid by another bidder and if any reserve or reduced reserve on the lot is exceeded. All bids are binding, irrevocable and non-cancelable by Bidder.
There are no provisions for the placing of bids to "mark the lot" or to "test the system", etc. and any requests to cancel bids on these bases, or due to a Bidder not reading a listing, not being familiar with the bidding platform, not doing proper due diligence or failing to maintain proper control over Bidder’s bidding terminal, will be denied. Such requests to cancel bids are null and void and will not excuse Bidder from Bidder’s legal and contractual obligation to complete a transaction.
If you are the successful Bidder, you agree to pay the amount of your bid plus all applicable taxes and charges in the time and manner designated by the WAR. Failure to make such payment shall be deemed to be a breach of these general terms and conditions, and, in addition to all other rights and remedies WAR may have under applicable law, you will be charged a re-stocking fee on transactions which are not installment payment (PMT) land sales equal to (a) 25% of the amount of your invoice, plus $25; or (b) the cost associated with re-marketing and re-selling the lot, whichever is greater. For installment payment (PMT) land sales, the amounts shall be (a) the initial invoice amount computed per the listing; or (b) the cost associated with re-marketing and re-selling your lot, whichever is greater.
Bidder is responsible for any and all costs associated with collection of amounts owing from the Bidder, until collected; and WAR reserves the right to bill and collect any such costs from Bidder. Costs associated with collection may include, but are not limited to, time charges, incidental expenses, attorney fees and costs associated with the use of a collection agency.
The winning Bidder’s failure to complete the purchase in accordance with the terms provided herein and in the listing will cause the Bidder to be faced with all, or any combination of the following measures: elimination of all future bidding privileges on the hosting site; credit agency reporting; legal and/or collection action.
These terms and conditions and each listing contain all of the provisions applicable to the agreement between WAR as seller and each Bidder. The provisions of these terms and conditions and of each listing supersede all other agreements, representations or understandings, whether prior or contemporaneous, oral or written, between the parties concerning that subject matter. These terms and conditions and provisions of each listing shall be binding on Buyer’s heirs, beneficiaries, executors, successors and assigns.
SEVERABILITY
If any provision of these terms and conditions or of any listing be void, unlawful or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent possible to comply with applicable law, or if modification is not possible, deleted and severed from the remaining provisions. Any such modification, deletion or severing shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any of the remaining provisions.
ASSIGNMENT
Any assignment without WAR's written authorization will be void.
VENUE
These terms and conditions, the contents of any listing and the contractual relationship between WAR and any Buyer shall be interpreted under and governed by the laws of the State of Hawaii.
