4. Bidder Registration; Bidder Qualification. YOU are required to register to bid. LAG may establish such Bidder Registration requirements and Bidder qualifications, including credit requirements and credit history, as LAG determines to be reasonably necessary or appropriate. YOU must provide such information (including identifying information and qualifications) as requested by LAG. LAG may require YOU to provide a valid credit card and/or other credit information, and LAG may make a nominal charge or place a temporary hold against YOUR credit card for verification purposes. LAG may refuse to accept a Bidder Registration from any potential Bidder, may refuse to grant bidding privileges to any potential Bidder, and may suspend or revoke the bidding privileges of any Bidder at any time. By registering to bid, YOU represent to LAG that, if YOU are a natural person, YOU are at least 19 years of age and that YOU are otherwise legally able to enter into a contract. Each entity (i.e., corporation, limited liability company, or other organization) registering to bid represents that it has the power and authority to register, to bid, and to complete the purchase transaction if it is the Winning Bidder. If bids are made by or on behalf of an entity, the entity and any individual making the bid will be jointly and severally liable on account of the bid. YOU acknowledge and agree that YOU have read, understand, and agree to be bound by, these Bidder Terms and Conditions, any and all other terms and conditions posted at the Auction Site or on LAG’s website(s), and the terms and conditions posted on the websites of any Online Auction Platform Provider(s) used by LAG. LAG may, in LAG’s sole and absolute discretion, receive bids from a person or entity that has not registered to bid and/or has not satisfied all requirements for Bidder Registration, and, by bidding, such person or entity will be bound by these Bidder Terms and Conditions, any and all other terms and conditions published by auctioneer (including those posted at the Auction Site or on LAG’s website(s), or otherwise), and the terms and conditions posted on the websites of any Online Auction Platform Provider(s) used by LAG. BIDDER QUALIFICATION PROVISIONS ARE INTENDED FOR THE BENEFIT OF LAG AND SELLER, AND CREATE NO RIGHTS OR INTERESTS IN ANY OTHER PERSONS, INCLUDING COMPETING BIDDERS. LAG AND/OR SELLER MAY (BUT WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO) WAIVE ANY BIDDER QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS, EITHER GLOBALLY OR ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS.
5. Access to Auction Site and/or Online Auction Platform; Assumption of Risk; Limitation of Liability. YOU assume all risks in connection with YOUR participation, or attempted participation, in the Auction, including, without being limited to, risks arising from or associated with: (i) YOUR presence at the Auction Site; (ii) YOUR use of any Online Auction Platform utilized by LAG; and/or (iii) any harm, injury, or damage to YOU or YOUR property resulting from acts other than those caused exclusively by LAG’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct. YOU further agree that neither YOU nor any person accompanying YOU to, or otherwise visiting, the Auction Site will attempt to operate or activate any machinery or equipment at the Auction Site without LAG’s express consent; and, that YOU will assume all liability for property damage and/or personal injury caused by YOU or YOUR representatives, employees, independent contractors, or agents. YOU acknowledge and agree that the Auction Site may be a potentially dangerous place that requires YOU to be diligent, alert, and aware at all times. Flammable, noxious, corrosive, pressurized and otherwise hazardous substances may be present at the Auction Site. Machinery, equipment, and vehicles may be operated at the Auction Site, and electrical circuits may be live at the Auction Site. YOU enter the Auction Site at YOUR own risk with notice of the condition and activities that will be, or have been, conducted at the Auction Site; and YOU assume such risks with respect to YOURSELF and anyone, including any minor children, accompanying YOU or visiting the Auction Site on YOUR behalf. YOUR representatives, employees, independent contractors, or agents also assume such risks. No person will have any claim against LAG and/or Seller, or their respective agents or employees, for any injuries sustained or for damages to or loss of property that may occur at the Auction Site. Neither LAG nor Seller will be liable for any damages of any type or nature sustained or claimed by YOU or by any other person or entity in connection with, or in any way related to, the Auction. YOU waive any and all claims and/or causes of against LAG arising in connection with, or in any way related to (i) YOUR presence at the Auction Site; (ii) YOUR use of any Online Auction Platform utilized by LAG; and/or (iii) any harm, injury, or damage to YOU or YOUR property resulting from acts other than those caused exclusively by LAG’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
6. Nature of the Auction. Unless otherwise stated in writing, the Auction will be an Unreserved Auction. This means that, once a bid is received on a Property, the Property will be sold to the highest Bidder even if the highest bid is less than desired or anticipated by the Seller.
7. Auction Administration Fee. The Auction transaction concerning the purchase of the Property is subject to an Auction Administration Fee in an amount equal to 10% of the Purchase Price. YOU acknowledge and agree that if YOU are the Winning Bidder, YOU will pay the Auction Administration Fee to LAG for LAG’s own account. The Auction Administration Fee may be increased to account for credit card processing fees, verification fees, wire transfer fees, and/or Online Auction Platform Fees. The Auction Administration Fee may also be reduced, either globally or on a case-by-case basis, at LAG’s discretion. The Auction Administration Fee is earned at the Fall of the Hammer and will not be refunded by LAG. If YOU are the Winning Bidder and YOU default on YOUR obligations as set forth in these Bidder Terms and Conditions, or otherwise, there will be no set-off or reduction in the Auction Administration Fee even if the Property is resold. Because the Auction Administration Fee is earned with the Fall of the Hammer, LAG has no obligation to mitigate damages with respect to the Auction Administration Fee, and YOU acknowledge and agree that mitigation of damages is not possible.
8. Online Auction. In addition to all other terms and conditions set forth in these Bidder Terms and Conditions, the following terms and conditions apply if the Auction is conducted, in whole or in part, online:
(a) Posted Times. Unless stated otherwise, all posted or listed times are intended to reference the local time zone at the Auction Site. Posted closing times and time displays are approximate. LAG reserves the right, in LAG's sole and absolute discretion, to close early, extend, reset, or reopen the Auction.
(b) Online Bidding; Maximum Bids. 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 single advancing bid and YOUR bid is equal to or less than the maximum bid previously submitted by another Bidder, YOU will be outbid. If YOU submit a maximum bid and a maximum bid has previously been submitted by another Bidder, bidding will advance to the next highest bid increment after which either YOUR maximum bid or the previously submitted maximum bid has been exhausted, whichever occurs first, and the then-current bid will be shown at that amount. If YOUR bid is shown as the current high bid and another Bidder submits a bid (either as a single bid or as a maximum bid), bidding will advance to the next highest bid increment after which either YOUR maximum bid or the maximum bid of the competing Bidder has been exhausted, whichever occurs first, and the then-current bid will be shown at that amount.
(c) Technology Disruptions. YOU acknowledge and agree that the Auction is conducted electronically and relies on hardware and software that may malfunction without warning. LAG will not be responsible for, and will suffer no liability 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, breakdown, disruption, or failure of the Online Auction Platform(s), (ii) breakdown, disruption, or failure of a Bidder's internet connection, computer, or system, or (iii) otherwise. LAG may, but will not be required to, continue, suspend, delay, extend, reschedule, or close the Auction because of disruptions caused by technology failures, even after bidding has commenced.
(d) Failures by Online Auction Platform Provider and Its Affiliates or Contractors. Under no circumstances will LAG be liable for any failure of the Online Auction Platform Provider(s) to perform, or for the failure of any affiliates, employees, agents, representatives, or contractors of the Online Auction Platform Provider(s) to perform regardless of whether such obligations are owing, directly or indirectly, to LAG, to YOU, to Seller, or otherwise.
(e) Automatic Extension Feature and Rolling Close of the Bidding. Any Online Bidding Period may include an automatic extension feature. This means that if a bid is entered within a set time period approaching the end of the established Online Bidding Period, the Online Bidding Period will be automatically extended for an additional period of time in increments established by LAG, and such extensions will continue until there is a set period of time that lapses during which no advancing online bid is received, after which bidding will close.
(f) Disclaimer. THE ONLINE AUCTION PLATFORM(S) AND LAG’S WEBSITE ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF TITLE OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. LAG MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR GUARANTEES, AND DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR GUARANTEES, (i) THAT THE ONLINE AUCTION PLATFORM(S) OR ANY RELATED WEBSITE OR TECHNOLOGY WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR FREE OR VIRUS FREE, (ii) AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED BY USING THE ONLINE AUCTION PLATFORM OR ANY RELATED WEBSITE OR TECHNOLOGY, OR (iii) AS TO THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, RELIABILITY, SECURITY, OR CURRENT NATURE OF THE ONLINE AUCTION PLATFORM OR ANY RELATED WEBSITE TECHNOLOGY. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE AUCTION, OR THE NATURE, CHARACTER, OR FUNCTIONALITY OF TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATED WITH THE AUCTION, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RECOURSE IS TO IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE AUCTION. LAG RESERVES THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE YOUR BIDDER REGISTRATION, TO SUSPEND OR TERMINATE YOUR ACCESS TO THE AUCTION, TO IMPOSE LIMITS ON CERTAIN FEATURES OF THE ONLINE AUCTION PLATFORM, AND/OR LIMIT, RESTRICT, OR TERMINATE YOUR ACCESS TO THE LAG’S WEBSITE OR TO THE AUCTION WITHOUT NOTICE.
(g) Restrictions on Use. YOU agree that YOU will not use any robot, spider, other automatic device, or manual process to monitor or copy the Online Auction Platform(s), LAG’s website, any technology associated with the Auction, and/or any content associated with the Auction. YOU agree that YOU will not use any device, software or routine to interfere with, or to attempt to interfere with, the proper functioning of the Online Auction Platform(s), LAG’s website, any technology associated with the Auction, or any activity being conducted in connection with the Auction. YOU agree that YOU will not take any action that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on the Online Auction Platform(s) and/or LAG’s website and/or online infrastructure. YOU agree that YOU will not copy, reproduce, alter, modify, create derivative works, or publicly display any content from the Online Auction Platform(s) and/or LAG’s website. Access and use of any Online Auction Platform is subject to any and all terms and conditions of the Online Auction Platform Provider(s).
(h) Security of Bidder Account. YOU are responsible for monitoring and maintaining the security of YOUR Bidder Account information. If, at any time, YOU know or suspect that YOUR Bidder Account has been hacked, cloned, compromised, or improperly accessed, YOU must notify LAG, in writing, immediately, and YOU will not be responsible for bids tendered through YOUR Bidder Account after such notice is received by LAG.
9. Conduct of the Auction. LAG will regulate all matters relating to the conduct of the Auction and LAG’s decisions will be final and binding. LAG will have control over bidding, may establish and modify bid increments, and will resolve any and all disputes. LAG may, in LAG’s sole and absolute discretion, reopen the bidding if (i) a bid is made while the hammer is falling in acceptance of a prior bid or while bidding is otherwise being terminated, or (ii) after the Fall of the Hammer or other termination of the bidding LAG is made aware of a bid that was unnoticed prior to the Fall of the Hammer or other termination of the bidding, or (iii) after the Fall of the Hammer or other termination of the bidding LAG is made aware that LAG and a bid assistant or ringman, or multiple bid assistants or ringmen, have acknowledged bids in the same amount bid from different Bidders, or (iv) an online bid, or other bid by a remote Bidder, tendered or attempted to be tendered prior to the Fall of the Hammer goes unrecognized, or (v) some other bid dispute arises. Any contract formed with the Fall of the Hammer will be subject to the conditions set forth in this Paragraph. If bidding is reopened pursuant to this Paragraph, the bid recognized by LAG prior to the reopening of the bidding will be held, and may not be retracted, and, if no further bids are received, such bid will be the Winning Bid. The determination of whether to reopen the bidding is within LAG’s sole and absolute discretion, and LAG is not required to reopen the bidding. LAG will suffer no liability on account of LAG’s determination of whether to reopen the bidding or not, and YOU acknowledge and agree that YOU will have no claim against LAG, and no rights or remedies, based on whether LAG, in an exercise of LAG’s discretion, reopens the bidding or declines to reopen the bidding to recognize a missed bid. LAG reserves the right, for any reason, in LAG’s sole discretion, to terminate, change, or suspend the sale of the Property or any aspect of the Auction. Advertised times are estimates provided for convenience only, and LAG will have no liability with respect to any Property sold before or after an advertised time.
10. Breaks and Recesses. LAG may take breaks or recesses during the bidding on the Property, and such breaks or recesses will not terminate the bidding unless expressly stated. LAG may suspend bidding on the Property without declaring a No Sale of the Property. A No Sale of the Property will only occur if LAG declares a No Sale in those terms, or if the Auction concludes in its entirety without a Winning Bid. If announced by LAG, the Auction may continue for a stated period of time, during which period LAG may receive bids in person, telephonically, electronically, online, or by other means.
11. LAG’s Records Conclusive. Absent clerical errors, LAG’s records will be final and conclusive.
12. Separately Titled Lots. If the Property consists of two or more separately titled lots or strata lots, LAG may, in LAG’s discretion, put the lots up for bid individually, as an entire group, and by various combinations, and the bids received by each method will be held until it is determined which method yields the highest aggregate amount. Bidding may be conducted in multiple rounds, and methods or combinations may be eliminated until the final method or grouping yielding the highest aggregate amount is determined.
13. Absentee Bids; Remote Bidding. In LAG’s discretion, LAG may receive Absentee Bids and/or bids tendered by remote Bidders (whether telephonically or otherwise). Absentee Bids may be initiated and advanced in accordance with LAG’s policies and procedures. LAG will make reasonable efforts to execute Absentee Bids, but LAG will have no liability to any Absentee Bidder for the failure to execute any Absentee Bids for any reason whatsoever. Each Absentee Bidder acknowledges and agrees that the Property may be sold to another Bidder for the maximum amount of the Absentee Bid based on a bidding sequence that causes another Bidder to reach such amount first. If the execution of an Absentee Bid at its maximum amount would require LAG to accept a bid that is less than a full bidding increment, LAG has the sole and absolute discretion to acknowledge or reject such bid. An Absentee Bidder may authorize LAG to advance the bid by one or more bidding increments after the maximum amount of the Absentee Bid is, or would be, reached. LAG acts as the agent of the Seller only, and the receipt and/or execution of Absentee Bids will not create an agency relationship between LAG and any Absentee Bidder.
14. No Bid Retraction; Irrevocable Offer. Without LAG's consent (which consent may be granted or withheld in LAG's sole and absolute discretion), YOU may not retract or revoke a bid that has been acknowledged by LAG or that YOU have submitted online. YOU acknowledge and agree that LAG is acting in reliance on tendered bids in the conduct of the Auction, and that bid retraction: (i) is disruptive and interferes with the Auction; (ii) may call into question the integrity of the Auction; (iii) may reduce Bidder confidence in the Auction process; and (iv) may have a negative effect on the Purchase Price, thereby harming the Seller. As an inducement for LAG to accept YOUR Bidder Registration and to grant YOU the privilege of bidding at the Auction, and in consideration of the ability to bid at the Auction, YOU agree that, without LAG's prior consent, YOU will not withdraw or to attempt to withdraw any bid tendered by YOU or on your behalf. YOU further acknowledge and agree that YOUR bid constitutes an irrevocable offer that will not be terminated by LAG's solicitation and/or acknowledgment of advancing bids, neither of which constitutes a rejection of YOUR bid. YOU recognize that if the bidding is reopened for any reason after the Fall of the Hammer, or if LAG permits the withdrawal of a subsequent advancing bid, YOUR bid may be accepted, and YOU may be declared the Winning Bidder. If YOUR online bid is not accepted prior to or at the close of bidding, the offer will terminate 72 hours after the close of bidding.
15. Responsibility for Bids Placed on Bidder Number or Bidder Account. YOU are responsible for all bids made using YOUR Bidder Number or YOUR Bidder Account, and if YOU tender a bid that is determined by LAG to be the Winning Bid, or if a Winning Bid is submitted from YOUR computer, or YOUR device, or from YOUR Bidder Account, YOU will be the Buyer. If YOUR Bidder Number is lost, stolen, or misappropriated, or if YOUR Bidder Account has been hacked or compromised YOU should notify LAG immediately. YOU will be liable for all bids tendered using YOUR Bidder Number or Bidder Account prior to giving LAG notice that YOUR Bidder Number was lost, stolen, or misappropriated or that YOUR Bidder Account was hacked or compromised.
16. Withdrawal of Property by LAG. Unless the Property is, in express written terms, exposed for sale at Absolute Auction, LAG has the right to withdraw the Property from the Auction at any time prior to the Fall of the Hammer.
17. Winning Bid; Buyer. Pursuant to these Bidder Terms and Conditions, the Bidder making the Winning Bid will be the Buyer.
18. Property Sold “AS IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS.” THE PROPERTY IS BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN ITS AS IS CONDITION AT THE TIME OF THE AUCTION, WITH ALL FAULTS, INCLUDING ANY HIDDEN DEFECTS OF ANY NATURE. UNLESS EXPRESSLY STATED OTHERWISE, PROPERTY THAT IS EXPOSED FOR SALE IN ITS “AS IS" CONDITION HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED, MODIFIED, ALTERED, OR REPAIRED BY LAG. NEITHER LAG NOR SELLER MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR GUARANTEES WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE PROPERTY OR ANY PERSONAL PROPERTY CONVEYING WITH THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT BEING LIMITED TO, REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR GUARANTEES AS TO THE NATURE, VALUE, SOURCE, AUTHENTICITY, FITNESS, MERCHANTABILITY, AND/OR ANY OTHER ASPECT OR CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROPERTY OR ANY PERSONAL PROPERTY CONVEYING WITH THE PROPERTY. NO STATEMENT ANYWHERE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING VERBAL STATEMENTS MADE BY LAG, WILL BE DEEMED TO BE A REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE BY LAG OR SELLER. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, AUTHENTICITY, ORIGIN, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO ANY PERSONAL PROPERTY CONVEYING WITH THE PROPERTY, ALL OF WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU CANNOT RELY, AND HAVE NOT RELIED, ON ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTY MADE BY THE SELLER OR ANYONE ACTING AS AGENT OF THE SELLER, ORALLY OR IN WRITING, ABOUT THE PROPERTY. IF THE PROPERTY IS AVAILABLE FOR PRE-AUCTION INSPECTION, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE HAD A FULL AND FAIR OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT THE PROPERTY PRIOR TO BIDDING, AND YOU ARE RELYING SOLELY ON, OR YOU HAVE WAIVED, YOUR INSPECTION AND INVESTIGATION (i) IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO BID, (ii) IN DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF A BID, AND (iii) IN BIDDING. IF THE PROPERTY IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR PRE-AUCTION INSPECTION, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT (i) YOU ARE KNOWINGLY AND WILLING BIDDING ON THE PROPERTY WITHOUT A PRE-AUCTION INSPECTION, (ii) YOU ARE NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES BY LAG OR SELLER, AND (iii) YOU ARE ASSUMING ANY AND ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY WITHOUT A PRE-AUCTION INSPECTION.
19. Pre-Auction Inspection; Due Diligence. By bidding, YOU acknowledge and agree that (i) if the Property is available for pre-Auction inspection, (A) YOU have had a full and fair opportunity to inspect the Property prior to bidding, and (B) YOU are relying solely on, or YOU have waived, YOUR inspection and investigation. If the Property is not available for pre-Auction Inspection, You acknowledge and agree that (i) YOU are knowingly and willingly bidding on the Property without a pre-Auction inspection, and (ii) YOU are assuming any and all risks associated with YOUR purchase of the Property without a pre-Auction inspection. In either case, YOU acknowledge and agree that YOU are not relying on any representations or warranties by LAG or Seller. YOU, further, acknowledge and agree that any photographs or other images of the Property are adequate for YOUR purposes. YOU, further, acknowledge and agree that YOU have had a full and fair opportunity to ask questions and to conduct any and all due diligence that YOU deem to be necessary or appropriate, and that the responses YOU have received, if any, are adequate for YOUR purposes. YOU have made all necessary inquiries and investigations regarding the Property, and YOU are prepared to purchase the Property in its AS IS, WHERE IS condition, with all faults and with no contingencies. It is YOUR responsibility to obtain and read the Registration Package and any other materials related to the Property that may be made available by LAG. It is YOUR responsibility to inspect the Property; review any and all documents and materials related to the Property; assess the accuracy and completeness of the information made available to YOU; and independently verify and confirm any estimates, projections, or assumptions relating thereto, none of which may be considered to be representations, warranties, or guarantees. YOU may select and consult with any and all professional advisors of YOUR choosing in determining whether to bid at the Auction. YOU acknowledge and agree that YOU have relied exclusively on YOUR own investigation and determinations and the advice of YOUR own professional advisors, and that YOU have not relied on any information provided by the Seller or the LAG.
20. Foreign Ownership Restrictions/Taxation. Certain Canadian provinces impose foreign ownership restrictions or additional taxation on the purchase of real property by non-Canadian citizens and non- qualified Canadian organizations. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE ANY NECESSARY ENQUIRIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONSULTING WITH LEGAL & TAX ADVISORS, PRIOR TO BIDDING TO ENSURE YOU ARE LEGALLY ELIGIBLE TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY.
21. Winning Bidder Subject to Certification by LAG. The final determination of the Winning Bidder will be made by LAG. Any notification to an online Bidder by email or electronic message (whether generated manually or automatically) is subject to certification by LAG. Any dispute regarding the identity of the Winning Bidder will be resolved by LAG, and LAG may reopen the bidding. LAG’s final determination of the Winning Bidder will be conclusive.
22. Purchase Agreement. If YOU are the Winning Bidder, YOU will execute the Purchase Agreement promptly on the close of the Auction. The Purchase Agreement is available for review prior to the opening of the bidding and is incorporated in and made a part of these Bidder terms and Conditions.

Each of the parties represents and warrants to the other that, except for (i) fees payable to LAG, (ii) brokerage participation fees agreed to by LAG, or (iii) as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, there are no brokerage, realtor or other fees or commissions due by either of them concerning the sale and/or purchase of the Property. In the event that any fees or commissions, of whatever nature, are due and owing, the party incurring the same will have the sole and exclusive liability for payment. Each party agrees to hold the other safe and harmless from any and all fees and commissions due or payable in conjunction with the sale and/or purchase of the Property.

(a) Seller’s Breach. If Seller breaches any of Seller’s obligations with respect to the purchase and sale of the Property, Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy will be return of the Purchase Deposit and any other monies actually paid by the Buyer; provided, however, that the Auction Administration Fee is non- refundable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller breaches Seller’s obligations under these Bidder Terms and Conditions or under the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer may seek to recover an amount equal to the Auction Administration Fee from Seller (not from LAG). Under no circumstances will LAG or Seller be liable for incidental or consequential damages, including, without being limited to lost profits or reduced productivity. Specific performance is not available as a remedy to Buyer.
(b) Buyer’s Breach. If Buyer breaches any of Buyer’s obligations, Buyer will forfeit the Purchase Deposit and any other monies actually paid to Seller or LAG, and will pay all of Seller’s and Auctioneers costs and expenses (including reasonable lawyers’ fees and costs of litigation). If the Property is subsequently offered for sale (at auction or otherwise), Buyer will be responsible for any and all costs and expenses incurred with respect there to, including, without being limited to, advertising and labor. Buyer will also be responsible for any shortfall between the Purchase Price established at the Auction and any subsequent lower amount for which the Property may be sold. In addition to, and not in lieu of, the foregoing, if YOU are the Winning Bidder and fail to execute the Purchase Agreement and/or fail to tender the Purchase Deposit or the Auction Administration Fee, you will forfeit the Registration Deposit, if any, and LAG may charge YOUR credit card on file in the amount of the Auction Administration Fee, which amount will be treated as a non-compliance fee but will not relieve YOU of any other damages, or otherwise limit the remedies available to LAG or Seller. LAG and Seller reserve the right to immediately expose the Property for sale again on the Winning Bidder’s default.
28. Returned Cheques. Any cheques that are returned unpaid will be subject to a returned cheque fee in the amount of $100.

29. No Stop Payment Orders or Credit Card Chargebacks. YOU agree that YOU will not, under any circumstances, (i) issue a stop payment order with respect to any cheques issued at or in connection with the Auction, or (ii) initiate a credit card chargeback with respect to any purchases at the Auction.

If, in violation of these Bidder Terms and Conditions, YOU issue a stop payment order or initiates a credit card chargeback, YOU, even if successful, will remain liable for all purchases made at the Auction, and will be responsible for all costs and expenses, including lawyers’ fees, incurred by or on behalf of LAG and/or Seller in challenging the stop payment order or credit card chargeback and in collecting payment. YOU acknowledge and agree that the covenant not to issue a stop payment order or to initiate a credit card chargeback is a condition to the issuance of a Bidder Number or Bidder Account, and is being made as an inducement for LAG to accept YOUR Bidder Registration, to issue a Bidder Number or Bidder Account, and to permit YOU to Bid at the Auction. YOU acknowledge and agree that LAG is relying on the covenant not to issue a stop payment order or to initiate a credit card chargeback in accepting YOUR Bidder Registration, in issuing a Bidder Number of Bidder Account, and in permitting YOU to bid at the Auction.
