Central Time on the day preceding the auction, whichever occurs first. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL BROKER REGISTRATION BE PERMITTED ON THE DAY OF THE AUCTION. Each Bidder may be registered by only one broker.
Non-Compliance: If a participant is the highest successful bidder and fails to execute the Purchase and Sale Agreement and/or submit the earnest deposit within 3 days of the Purchase and Sale Agreement being delivered, the participant will be liable for a Non-Compliance Fee of $5,000. This fee serves as a penalty for failing to comply with the auction’s Terms and Conditions. Farris Auctions, at its discretion, may charge the credit card on file or employ any other necessary means to collect this fee. Any Bidder who fails to execute the Purchase and Sale Agreement and/or remit the earnest deposit may also be barred from participating in future auctions conducted by Farris Auctions. In the event of Non-Compliance by a bidder, the Seller and Farris Auctions reserve the right to immediately offer the property for sale to another party.
