Removal of Goods. (1) Buyers or their Agents must remove all Goods purchased before the final removal date and time announced by HGP at the Auction (the "Removal Date"). (2) No Goods shall be removed until the full purchase price and all applicable taxes thereon have been received by HGP in the form required herein. REGARDLESS OF THE REASON FOR NON-REMOVAL, ANY GOODS NOT REMOVED ON OR BEFORE THE REMOVAL DATE SHALL BE DEEMED ABANDONED AND HGP SHALL HAVE NO FURTHER OBLIGATION TO BUYER WITH RESPECT TO SUCH GOODS. Buyer shall be responsible for the safe and proper removal of any Goods purchased by Buyer and shall comply with all instructions or restrictions imposed by the Seller or the owner of the premises. HGP does not pack, ship, store, crate or rig Goods for removal. Unless otherwise indicated, Buyers may either pick up Goods at the designated auction site themselves or contract with an approved third party agent to manage the removal process for them. Before Goods can be removed by an Agent, Agent must provide HGP with (1) proof of payment in full (Paid in Full Invoice), (2) An "Agent Release Authorization" form which allows HGP to release items to a third party professional for shipping, crating, rigging or packing purposes and (3) proof of adequate insurance. Goods weighing more than 100 pounds in their current condition must be disconnected, disassembled and/or removed by a qualified, insured rigger. Before any removal, Buyer must provide HGP with a certificate of insurance from the rigger, which certificate must be in form, scope and content acceptable to HGP in HGP'S sole discretion. Without limiting HGP'S discretion, such certificate must show that the rigger carries comprehensive liability insurance written by an insurance carrier of national standing and in an amount of not less than two million dollars ($2,000,000.00). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall restore and repair all real and personal property that is altered or damaged as a result of Buyer's or its agent's removal of the Goods. HGP shall have no responsibility to disconnect utilities to the sold Goods, including electric, gas, waste and water lines. Buyer is solely responsible to properly remove and store in appropriate containers all fluids, oils, hazardous chemicals, etc., from Goods purchased. Buyer hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and to hold harmless HGP, the Seller and the owner of the premises in which the Goods are located, from any and all claims, damages, and losses arising from Buyer's actions or actions with respect to the Goods and Buyer's presence on the premises in which the Goods are located, including without limitation, injuries to persons or property and environmental violations or contamination. Risk of loss on any Goods shall pass to the Buyer upon payment in full to HGP of all sums due from Buyer in respect to the Goods. HGP shall have no responsibility whatsoever for any missing or lost items that can be removed by hand if such items have not been removed by the Removal date. There will be NO removal of any Goods until the auction is complete. 9 Defaults. Bidders must bid only on those Goods they are prepared to pay for and remove in accordance with the Terms. All bids placed are irrevocable. All Goods awarded to high bidders are contractually theirs and must be paid for by the Final Payment Date and removed by the Removal Date. IN THE EVENT BUYER FAILS TO COMPLY WITH THESE TERMS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PAYMENT AND REMOVAL DEADLINES) BUYER WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE PLACED IN DEFAULT. THIS IS YOUR OFFICIAL NOTICE OF DEFAULT. Upon default, you shall lose all right, title, and interest which you might otherwise have acquired in and to such Goods as to which default has occurred. HGP will attempt to re-market and re-sell those Goods to mitigate its damages, in which case you will be responsible to pay HGP the full amount of the difference between the original invoice price and the re-sale price plus any expenses incurred to re-market or re-sell these items. Failure to remove items by the Removal Date in accordance with removal terms will subject Buyer to pay the full amount of the expenses incurred to store or transport items until they are re-sold. IF HGP HAS NOT RECEIVED PAYMENT FOR WINNING BIDS BY THE FINAL PAYMENT DATE, BUYER AUTHORIZES HGP TO CHARGE THE FULL PURCHASE PRICE, THE BUYER'S PREMIUM AND APPLICABLE TAXES, TO THE CREDIT CARD LEFT ON FILE DURING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS. IF BUYER HAS NOT REMOVED ITEMS BY THE REMOVAL DATE, THE BIDDER AUTHORIZES HGP TO CHARGE THE FULL AMOUNT OF SUCH STORAGE AND/OR TRANSPORTATION COSTS TO THE CREDIT CARD LEFT ON FILE DURING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS. 10. Adjustments. After Buyer has removed any Goods, neither HGP nor Seller shall have any obligation to make any adjustment or accommodation to Buyer because of any mistake in quantity or other defect or problem with respect to such Goods. Buyer must make all requests for adjustments in writing to HGP before any Goods are removed from the premises where the Auction is conducted. 11. Damages; Limitation of Liability. HGP shall not be liable for any damages of any type or nature (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) sustained or claimed by Buyer or any other person or entity in connection with the Website, the Services, Sales, the Auction and/or the Goods and/or the failure of any party to complete the sale of any Goods or Buyer's or Buyer's representatives' inability to remove any Goods, including but not limited to legal fees, costs and disbursements. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall HGP's liability to Buyer for any act or omission occurring in connection with the Website, the Services, the Auction, the Sale and/or the Goods exceed the amount that Buyer has actually paid to HGP as compensation in connection with Buyer's purchase of Goods.

Further, HGP, and/or its affiliates or subsidiaries, may bid at the auction for its own account, on behalf of a third party or the Seller. 15. "Subject to Seller Confirmation" Lots. Certain lots of Goods may be offered for sale "Subject to Seller Confirmation," meaning the Seller has the right to confirm or reject the highest bid tendered at the Auction sale within a stated time following the close of bidding as set forth either in the lot description, on the Auction landing page or under the Auction Details tab on the landing page. The lot description for any such lot shall clearly designate that the respective lot is being offered for sale Subject to Seller Confirmation. Buyer acknowledges that the high bid received for such lot(s) shall remain irrevocable until the end of the stated confirmation period, and the lot will only be awarded to the high bidder if confirmed by the Seller. Regardless of whether the high bidder receives a preliminary post-auction notification that the bidder has or may have tendered the highest bid for any such lot, no such lot shall be awarded to the high bidder unless and until such time as the high bidder has received a written or telephonic notification from HGP that its high bid has been confirmed by the Seller. 16. Absentee/Proxy Bids. By completing an "Absentee (Proxy) Bidder Form," Buyers may appoint HGP to be an agent and proxy for the sole purpose of purchasing Goods when the Buyer CANNOT bid personally on the day of the sale.

HGP will bid up to the specified maximum bid amount to win the Goods, using only the amount needed to be the high bidder. HGP has complete discretion whether and when to accept Proxy bids. HGP's announcements at the time the lot is sold take precedence over any and all published materials. Proxy bidders will be notified only if they have been declared the high bid. Notification will take place in the form of an electronic invoice which will be sent to the email address provided during registration. 17. Right to Refuse Bids or Deny Access. HGP, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to refuse the bid of any person without providing any notice or reason therefore.

HGP, in its sole discretion, shall control all bidding increments and advances at any Auction. HGP reserves the right to reject any bid that is only a minimal increase over the preceding bid, that is not commensurate with the value of the item being offered or that HGP believes was made illegally or in bad faith. In the event of a dispute among bidders, HGP may, in its sole discretion, either accept what it deems to be the final bid or solicit further bids on the item in dispute. No returns or refunds will be permitted, unless authorized by the Seller in writing. 19. Aggregate Bids.
