These terms and conditions are absolute and cannot be altered in any way. If you do not understand any of these conditions, please contact Wester Auction BEFORE bidding. Once you place a winning bid you have entered into a legally binding contract.

Everything is sold "AS IS, WHERE IS" without guarantees of any kind. If you bid without inspecting the item(s), then you accept FULL RESPONSIBILITY for the condition and completeness of the item(s).

Due to varying Internet speeds, browser controls, wireless signals, and other communication problems we DO NOT GUARANTEE that your bid will be accepted on any item. Do not wait until the last possible second to place a bid. If an item is not on your invoice, then your bid was not the last and highest bid recorded and there is no recourse.

Any item(s) left unpaid or removed will be subject to a storage fee of $10.00 per item / per day, plus any transportation, moving, collection and attorney fees. A 3% Transaction Fee will be charged for all credit card transactions.

While descriptions and counts are believed to be accurate, they are NOT GUARANTEED. Buyers need to rely solely upon their own inspection and information.

The buyers hereby indemnify and hold harmless the auctioneer and seller from any and all damages, claims or liabilities from any injuries to persons or property of any type whatsoever caused during the sale or during the removal of the items purchased. Buyers remove purchases at their own risk. Buyer's should arrange for professional de-installation of wired, plumbed or built-in items. Many pieces of equipment have potential hazards and should be de-installed and moved by professionals with proper equipment.

Absolutely no adjustments, claims or refunds will be allowed after the item(s) are removed. ANY CLAIMS MUST BE MADE WHILE THE ITEMS ARE ON THE AUCTION PREMISES. In no event will auctioneer's or seller's liability to buyer ever exceed the purchase price paid.

Arrangements for the removal (or shipment) of purchased items is the sole responsibility of the buyer pursuant to and as part of the contract of sale. Bidders caught willfully removing wrong items, or switching tags, will be subject to arrest for theft. No claim can be made for failure of bidder to remove items after the removal period has ended. Buyers should bring their own moving equipment and labor. Any item not removed from the sale within the specified time may be removed and stored by the auctioneer at purchaser's expense, and auctioneer will not be responsible for loss or damage to those items.

This will be a simulcast auction with online pre-bidding and day of sale online bidding during the live auction. We are expecting 150+ vehicles and pieces of equipment. This will probably be the largest auction we have done for Durham in the past 15-20 years. Pre-bidding will begin October 1.
