WARNING - Explanation of Credit Card Fraud: In order to bid online, buyers must register and create an account at our website, www.bidderone.com. The credit card will be charged upon completion of the auction for any items won plus applicable buyer's premium and sales tax. Additionally, any items which are not picked up during the posted pickup times for this sale may result in an additional charge for storage and / or shipping as per the specifics of the sale. If, when charged, it is determined that the card is not valid or does not have a sufficient balance to cover the charges, and the bidder or representatives of the bidder knowingly registered with this card, this constitutes “Credit Card Fraud” under Federal and Georgia state law, and L.W. Benton Company reserves the right to press criminal charges for such fraud, including the swearing out of an arrest warrant in the county of the bidder's residence. In addition to any criminal charges, L.W. Benton Company reserves the right to seek civil restitution as well.<br>
<br>
Arbitration: For disputes between buyer and seller or L.W. Benton Company, Inc., that are not resolved by the parties within ten days after any party gives notice to the others of its desire to arbitrate the dispute, the dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association in accord with its then-prevailing rules. Such arbitration shall be conducted in Macon, Georgia. Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall have no power to change the provisions of this agreement. The arbitrator shall consist of one arbitrator, who must be a licensed attorney actively engaged in the practice of law for at least the last five years.<br>
<br>
Bid retraction: By placing a bid, buyer and all other bidders acknowledge all terms of the auction and agree not to retract the bid. If a bidder cannot satisfy the terms of the auction, the bidder should not bid. Once a bid is placed, LWBC cannot remove the bid from the online bidding system. Please be sure of your bids before placing them in our system.<br>
<br>
Payment: ONLY Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express payments. A 13% Buyers Premium will apply to all purchases. Local Georgia Sales Tax will apply to each item. Dealers buying for resale may be exempt from paying sales tax if the dealer has a sales tax number and a signed tax exemption form IN THE BUYER'S PROFILE BEFORE BIDDING. Any other specific payment arrangements would have to be approved by L.W. Benton Company PRIOR to bidding. <br>
<br>
Documentation Fee: There will be a $40 document transfer fee added to all vehicle and equipment purchases that require a title or document transfer with the State. When signatures are required to transfer the title, it is the sole responsibility of the buyer to submit the necessary signatures and information for that transfer. L.W. Benton Co, nor the Seller, will be responsible for any late fees accrued for a title transfer as the result of negligence or untimely submission of paperwork by a Buyer.<br>
<br>
Title Cancellation: Buyers who purchase titled vehicles with the intent to scrap, salvage and/or dismantle said vehicles may be exempted from the $40 document fee by signing a letter stating their intent to do so, thus granting L.W. Benton Co. permission to request that the State cancel the current title. Upon doing so, Buyers understand that there is no remedy to this request and a title cannot be reapplied for once submitted to the state for cancellation.<br>
<br>

The auto-extend feature remains active until no further bids are received within the 5 minute time frame.<br>

<br>
Condition of Property: Any and all information regarding the condition of property is derived from sources believed to be true and accurate but is not guaranteed by the Seller or L.W. Benton Company. It is the sole responsibility of the Bidder to verify any and all information. Definition of “Runs and Drives”: This description means a vehicle or piece of equipment should crank either on its own power or with the assistance of a new battery, jump box or jumper cables and move under its own power. It is not inferred to mean anything further. Definition of “good engine” and/or “good transmission”: This description means that while a vehicle may not run and drive for various mechanical reasons, the engine and/or transmission in the vehicle is believed to operate properly and be in good working order. L.W. Benton Company urges Bidders to thoroughly inspect all fluids before attempting to operate any vehicle or equipment.

Upon receipt of payment in full, the purchaser will receive a paid invoice by email which must be presented at time of pick up. L.W. Benton Company Inc. and/or Sellers are in no way responsible for pick-up, delivery or assisting in loading out of property as this is the sole responsibility of the successful bidder.

Benton Company agrees to assist in the load out of purchased lots, Buyers understand that neither the Seller, L.W. Benton Company nor its representatives are responsible for any damage to the Buyer's property of any kind.<br>
<br>
Pick-up of Items: At the completion of the auction, successful bidders will be emailed an invoice with pickup instructions. In this auction, because the card with which you registered will automatically be charged, your invoice should be paid when you arrive for pickup unless there was a problem with your card. Winning bidders must make payment in full or approved payment arrangements within 48 hours after the close of the auction if there is a problem with the registered card. Sellers cannot accept payment. <br>
<br>
Items not picked up during posted pickup times: If items are not timely removed as required above, a $10.00 handling and storage fee will be assessed per auction lot, per day. If arrangements have not been made to remove items within 10 (10) days after the auction closing time, items may be considered abandoned property with all of the buyer's rights and interests in the property extinguished with no refunds owed or offered to the buyer. The seller reserves the right to sell these items to backup bidders and hold the original bidder liable for resulting losses to the seller. L.W. Benton Company, Inc. and/or the seller reserve the right to pursue all legal remedies.<br>
