Assumed Costs and Risks
By Bidding, you understand that any Bid you submit can and may be regarded as the Purchase Price Bid for a particular Lot; accordingly, your Bid constitutes a legally binding agreement to purchase the Lot in accordance with your Bid if accepted by the auctioneer. You agree to assume personal responsibility to pay the Purchase Price Bid, plus the Buyer's Premium and any additional charges that become due and payable in connection with your purchase of a Lot; and that upon the fall of the auctioneer's hammer or other indication by the auctioneer that bidding has closed for a particular Lot, if your last Bid is the Purchase Price Bid, you agree to purchase the Lot and assume all risk of loss and damage to such Lot, in addition to any obligations, costs and expenses relating to its handling, shipping, insurance, taxes and export.

Auctioneer Discretion
The auctioneer has the right, in his absolute discretion, to determine the conduct of any Blue Skies Auction sale, including, without limitation, to advance the bidding, to reject any Bid offered, to withdraw any lot, to reoffer and resell any lot, and to resolve any dispute in connection with such sale. In any such case, the judgment of the auctioneer is final, and shall be binding upon you and all other participants in such sale.

Reserve
All Lots may be offered subject to a confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold (the "Reserve"). The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the Reserve by placing a Bid on behalf of the Seller. The auctioneer may continue to Bid on behalf of the Seller up to the amount of the Reserve, either by placing consecutive Bids or by placing Bids in response to other bidders.

As security for full payment to us of all amounts due from the buyer and prompt collection of your purchased Lots in accordance with these Terms, we retain, and the buyer grants to us, a security interest in any Lot purchased by the buyer in accordance with these Terms (and any proceeds thereof), and in any other property or money of the buyer in our possession or coming into our possession subsequently ("Security Interest"). We may apply any such money or treat any such property in any manner permitted under the Uniform Commercial Code and/or any other applicable law. Upon request, you will sign and promptly return any documents sought by us to protect and confirm our interests including but not limited to a UCC-1 Financing Statement.

Delivery
Buyer is solely responsible for collection of purchased Lots from the address specified on the invoice, including making arrangements and paying all costs associated with packing and delivery. We do in house shipping whenever possible and in most cases charge $5 per box that we ship to you. If you want something shipped that requires special packaging for fraqgile items (and we agree to package) we will change additional fees on top of the $5 per box.
We may, as a courtesy to the buyer, provide or arrange packing, shipping or similar logistical services, or refer the buyer to third parties who specialize in these services. Any such services referred, provided or arranged by us are at the buyer's sole risk and expense, we assume no responsibility for any act or omission of any party in connection with any such service or reference, and we make no representations or warranties regarding such parties or their services. You expressly release Blue Skies Auction from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website or services.

Export, Import and Endangered Species Licenses and Permits
Before bidding for any property, prospective buyers are advised to make their own inquiries as to whether a license is required to export a lot from the United States or to import it into another country. Prospective buyers are advised that some countries prohibit the import of property made of or incorporating plant or animal material, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, Brazilian rosewood, rhinoceros horn or tortoiseshell, irrespective of age, percentage or value. Accordingly, prior to bidding, prospective buyers considering export of purchased lots should familiarize themselves with relevant export and import regulations of the countries concerned. It is solely the buyer's responsibility to comply with these laws and to obtain any necessary export, import and endangered species licenses or permits. Failure to obtain a license or permit or delay in so doing will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment for the lot. As a courtesy to clients, Blue Skies Auction will advise clients who inquire about lots containing potentially regulated plant or animal material, but we do not accept liability for errors or for failing to advise on lots containing protected or regulated species.

Storage, Abandonment And Related Charges
All purchased Lots not collected from the address specified on the invoice, by the buyer or buyer's authorized agents within the scheduled pick up times listed for each auction or it will be considered abandoned unless Blue Skies Auction has not consented to store the Lot. The buyer will be deemed to have defaulted under these Terms, and, in addition to any other remedies we may have at law or equity, we shall be entitled to foreclose on the Security Interest by selling such Lots and using the proceeds from such sale for any purpose (including payment of storage fees and administrative expenses of handling such matter), without any further liability to the buyer. You agree that this remedy is reasonable in light of the costs Blue Skies Auction would have to incur to continue to store and process purchased Lots after sale.

Breach
If a buyer fails to make timely payment as required in these Terms, or breaches any other covenant, representation or warranty in this Agreement, we shall be entitled, in our discretion, to exercise any remedies legally available to us, including, but not limited to, the following:
i. cancellation of the sale of the Lot to the non-paying buyer, including the sale of any other Lot to the same buyer (whether or not paid);
ii. reselling the Lot, at public or private sale, with or without reserve;
iii. retention of any amounts already paid by the buyer as a processing fee (which you acknowledge would be reasonable in light of the costs Blue Skies Auction would have to incur to process your breach and attempt to re-auction or resell the Lot);
iv. rejection of any Bids by the buyer at future auctions;
v. setting-off any amounts owed by Blue Skies Auction to the buyer in satisfaction of unpaid amounts; and/or
vi. taking any other action we deem necessary or appropriate under the circumstances.
