If the Bidder, or representative/agent of the Bidder, cannot pick up the items during the pick-up date and times provided, PLEASE DO NOT BID on any items. If your items are not picked up and paid for by the times the auctions scheduled pick up has concluded, there will be a Storage Fee added to the Bidders invoice. The minimum fee for this is $20. This fee covers our time to move and store your items for up to 5 business days. If you choose not to pick up your items after 5 business days, they will be considered abandoned with no refunds given. In this case, there will be a minimum charge of $5 per lot ($25 for furniture) to dispose of or to relist those items. Any additional storage, if approved by Auction House, will be assessed at a rate of $5 per day per lot. These fees will automatically be charged to the card on file at the end of each month. If the card on file is declined, and the Bidder does not take action by picking up their items and paying their invoice in full, Coughlins will take legal action at some point in the future and/or send the bill to collections. Once in collections, you waive your right to the items won at auction, and your bill must be handled through the collection department.

By registering for this auction, you agree to the following terms and conditions. This is a legal binding contract between you, referred to as the �Bidder� and Coughlin�s Auctions referred to as the �Auction House�. 1. Item Condition: The bidder acknowledges all items are sold �AS-IS� and �WHERE IS�. There are NO REFUNDS. The Auction House makes no guarantee to the condition or usability of items up for auction. The Auction House will make its best effort to write accurate descriptions of each item up for auction. This is a service provided to the Bidder. The Bidder does not hold the Auction House responsible for bidding and winning items that are broken, defected, or damaged in some way. The Auction House strongly recommends that each Bidder attends the preview days provided so they can inspect each item they wish to bid on. 2. Loading Items: The bidder agrees to bring help to load larger items. The Auction House DOES NOT provide help for loading large items into vehicles or trailers. The Auction Houses does not provide bags, paper, or other wrapping material when picking up lots the Bidder has won. The Bidder must remove the items safely. The Bidders agrees to pay all costs associated with damages that may happen when the bidder and/or their helpers are moving items. In the event the Bidder damages anything while removing the items, their credit card on file will be charged for all costs associated with fixing said damages. If a representative from the Auction House helps load or pack up an item, the Bidder does not hold the Auction House or their representative liability for any damage to the items or property of any kind. 3. Picking Up, After Pick Up Fees, and Storage Fees: If the auction is not located at our auction house, there will be no storage available. The Bidder agrees to pick up the items on-time. The Bidder agrees to pick up all items listed on their invoice. If the Bidder, or representative/agent of the Bidder, cannot pick up the items during the pick-up date and times provided, PLEASE DO NOT BID on any items. If your items are not picked up and paid for by the times the auctions scheduled pick up has concluded, there will be a Storage Fee added to the Bidders invoice. The minimum fee for this is $20. This fee covers our time to move and store your items for up to 5 business days. If you choose not to pick up your items after 5 business days, they will be considered abandoned with no refunds given. In this case, there will be a minimum charge of $5 per lot ($25 for furniture) to dispose of or to relist those items. Any additional storage, if approved by Auction House, will be assessed at a rate of $5 per day per lot. These fees will automatically be charged to the card on file at the end of each month. If the card on file is declined, and the Bidder does not take action by picking up their items and paying their invoice in full, Coughlins will take legal action at some point in the future and/or send the bill to collections. Once in collections, you waive your right to the items won at auction, and your bill must be handled through the collection department. 4. Payment: You agree to pay for your entire invoice in full.
