5. Privacy:
   MillCityAuctions.com gathers information about Bidders and Owner/Sellers for the purposes of conducting online auctions. MillCityAuctions.com does not sell or rent this information. MillCityAuctions.com uses electronic mail mailing lists to notify its customers about online and live auctions. If you are receiving a particular mailing and wish to discontinue receiving future mailings, simply forward the received e-mail to Admin@MillCityAuctions.com to have your name promptly removed from our list.


6. Bid is a Contract:
   As a Bidder, placing a bid is a binding contract between you and the Owner/Seller and the bid cannot be retracted. Once you place a bid, and if you win, you become the Buyer, and you will be obligated to buy the product at the said price you indicated as your bid. Placing a bid on this Site, and winning, then not paying for the product is illegal in most states, and prosecution can result. The Owner/Sellers of property sold through this Site reserve the right to reject any and all bids, in their sole discretion.


7. Item Description:
   All items sell "AS IS - WHERE IS." Neither MillCityAuctions.com or the Seller gives any type of guarantee or warranty, implied or otherwise. These items are offered for auction and their descriptions are from sources deemed reliable and submitted subject to errors, omissions and change without notice. Any errors are not sufficient grounds for returning any purchased item. There are no returns, refunds, or adjustments. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY, AUTHENTICITY & CONDITION RESTS WITH THE BUYER. SHOULD THE AUCTION ITEM(S) PROVE NOT TO BE WHAT THE BUYER HAD ASSUMED THEM TO BE FOLLOWING THEIR PURCHASE, THE BUYER AGREES TO ACCEPT THE GOODS REGARDLESS OF THEIR CONDITION! MillCityAuctions.com encourages all bidders to personally inspect all items BEFORE BIDDING! Both the Owner/Seller and/or MillCityAuctions.com reserve their right to withdraw any auction items at any time and/or extend the auction duration. All items will be sold to the highest bidder. MillCityAuctions.com reserves the right to reject any and all bids.


8. Buyer's Premium:
   Unless a specific auction states otherwise, a 10% buyer's premium will be charged on all items and lots. Every Buyer pays the same buyer's premium and should bid accordingly. For example, if you bid $100 on an item at the auction you will be charged $110 for the item on your auction invoice.


9. Sales Tax:
   If an item is subject to sales tax, MillCityAuctions.com shall collect sales tax at the time of payment. Tax shall be calculated based on the successful bid price PLUS the buyer's premium. If the Buyer claims an exemption from sales tax, it is the Buyer's responsibility to provide the appropriate resale or exemption certificate for each auction at which the Buyer makes a purchase.


10. Payment:
    The Buyer will receive an invoice via electronic mail after the close of the auction by the following business day. Payment for purchases must be made by cash, cashier's check, money order, or credit card (only Visa, Master Card and Discover accepted), unless otherwise noted in a specific auction's terms. If no payment is received by the removal deadline, the total will be charged to the credit card on file for the bidder. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS!!! If the credit card is invalid or cannot be charged for any reason, ownership of items will automatically revert to the Owner/Seller. MillCityAuctions.com reserves the right to determine how and to whom it will be resold. The item WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY go to the next second-highest bid. Failure to pay will result in a permanent BAN from all future auctions and pursuit of all legal remedies available.


11. Removal:
    Merchandise becomes the full responsibility of the Buyer at the time of sale and the Buyer assumes all risk of loss and damage to property until removed from the sale premises. The Buyer indemnifies and holds harmless MillCityAuctions.com, its directors, officers, employees and agents against any damage or loss which the Buyer, MillCityAuctions.com or third-parties may suffer or incur with respect to loss, damage or injury arising from the removal of an item. The merchandise may remain on the premises until the removal deadline, which is noted in every individual auction's terms. All items must be removed by the removal deadline. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS!! Buyers who fail to pick up purchases by the removal deadline will incur storage fees in the amount of $100.00 per day per invoice. Items remaining 30 days after the removal deadline will be considered as abandoned, and ownership will revert to the Owner/Seller, who may resell or dispose of items AND continue to pursue collection of payment from the Buyer.


12. Buyer's Responsibilities and Conduct:
    The Buyer shall be responsible for all damage that it, its carriers or its agents may do to the property of any third party (and, in particular, to MillCityAuctions.com's premises or other removal site) in removing the items it has purchased. Should MillCityAuctions.com consider such damage likely to occur, it may require the Buyer to deposit such sum of money with MillCityAuctions.com, by way of security for the costs of reinstating that part of the premises likely to be damaged by the removal of an item, as MillCityAuctions.com may require. Should the Buyer refuse to deposit such monies, MillCityAuctions.com may refuse the Buyer access to MillCityAuctions.com's premises or other removal site for the purpose of collecting all or any of the items it has purchased, or rescind the sale of such items.


13. Indemnity:
    The Bidder/Buyer accepts responsibility for and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Owner/Seller and MillCityAuctions.com and their employees, governing body, officers, owners, affiliates, subsidiaries, directors, agents and representatives from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) related to, arising from or associated with the Bidder/Buyer's, his agents or representatives, use of the Site, including but not limited to personal injuries or property damage incurred on the sale premises or during removal and transport of any auction items or lots, and arising out of, based upon, or resulting from any breach or violation by the Bidder/Buyer of this User Agreement or any use by the Bidder/Buyer of the Site or as a result of a dispute with another Bidder.
