Terms And Conditions
Registration at the auction confirms your agreement to the terms and conditions
of sale as stated in the Contract for Sale and its Addenda (the 'Contract') which
are incorporated by reference into your bidding. DO NOT BID unless you have registered
and have read and agreed to be bound by the terms of sale in the Contract as they
are enforceable against you upon bidding.
All properties are sold "AS IS, WHERE IS" with no financing, inspection or other
contingencies to sale. Williams & Williams represents the Sellers only
and does not inspect properties on bidder's behalf. Read the Contract and the Property
Information Package to determine the existence of any disclosures, exclusions, representations
and disclaimers. Do not bid if you have not inspected the property. By bidding you
agree to all disclosures.
Buyers receive a deed and insurable title to the property, as evidenced by
the Title Insurance offered by the Closer indicated in the Contract. Current year's
property taxes are pro-rated through day of closing as customary.
The auction begins as a sealed bid auction. Williams & Williams will
accept sealed bids until Thursday, November 12th at 4:00 P.M. EST (“Sealed Bid Deadline”).
Bidders will be required to sign a Bidder Agreement, and place a “Bid Deposit” of
$250,000 with Williams & Williams via wire transfer or cashier’s check prior
to, or at the time of, submitting a sealed bid. The sealed bid shall be irrevocable.
Sealed bids received without an executed Bidder Agreement or the $250,000 Bid Deposit
by the Sealed Bid Deadline may not be recognized. At the conclusion of the sealed
bid auction, the Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the option
to accept the highest sealed bid or to conduct a public outcry auction on Monday,
November 16th. The Bid Deposit will be applied to the 25% non-refundable deposit
in the event you are identified as the high bidder. In the event you are not the
high bidder, your Bid Deposit will be refunded in total within 48 hours (excluding
weekends and holidays) of conclusion of the auction (sealed or public outcry), without
interest. Please contact Dan Falls at 918-362-6558 to obtain a copy of the Bidder
Agreement and to make wiring arrangements.
At the conclusion of the sealed bid portion of the auction, Seller may accept the
highest sealed bid, or choose to invite up to 5 of the top sealed bidders to participate
in a public outcry auction. If the Seller so chooses to conduct a public outcry
auction after the sealed bidding, bidding at the public outcry auction starts at
the amount of the highest Sealed Bid. Seller shall have sole and absolute
discretion as to how many of the sealed bid participants (in addition to the participant
with the highest bid) to allow to participate in the public outcry portion of the
auction. However, a bidder must submit a sealed bid in order to participate in the
public outcry auction. The Auctioneer will call the sale and control any increments
of bidding. To make a bid, raise your hand or Bid Card to be recognized. The bidding
usually takes less than 3 minutes. Absentee bids may be accepted at the discretion
of the Auctioneer. The Auctioneer reserves the right to enter bids on behalf of
absentee bidders as specified in 21 NCAC 4B. Any mistakes during bidding as to who
has the high bid and/or at what price may be called to the Auctioneer's attention
and corrected. The Auctioneer is the sole arbiter and controller of the conduct
of the auction and shall be the final and absolute authority without liability to
any party.
At the conclusion of the auction, the high bidder declared must make a 25% non-refundable
deposit ($250,000 MINIMUM - whichever is greater) immediately following auction
(sealed bid registration deposit may be used and/or supplemented for the Contract
bid deposit). The deposit amount shall equal the greater of twenty-five
percent (25%) of the total sales price or the Bid Deposit. All deposits must be
presented as good funds (i.e., cash, wire, or cashier’s check). If you are a resident/citizen
of a country outside of the US, certified funds (bank check, wire transfer, certified
checks) are required for the non-refundable deposit and remaining funds for closing.
The balance of the purchase price and all closing costs are due at closing. A Buyer's
Premium equal to six percent (6%) of the high bid amount will be added to the high
bid and included in the total purchase price. If for any reason Seller does not
perform the sole remedy shall be the return of Buyer's deposit. The deposit
amount shall equal the greater of twenty-five percent (25%) of the total sales price
or the Bid Deposit. All deposits must be presented as good funds (i.e., cash, wire,
or cashier’s check). If you are a resident/citizen of a country outside of the US,
certified funds (bank check, wire transfer, certified checks) are required for the
non-refundable deposit and remaining funds for closing. The balance of the purchase
price and all closing costs are due at closing. A Buyer's Premium equal to six percent
(6%) of the high bid amount will be added to the high bid and included in the total

be the return of Buyer's deposit.
