Any grading or authentication by any third party, including any statements made on certificates of authenticity, grading certificates, valuation certificates, certificates of appraisal, gemological laboratory reports, or any similar reports or valuations are exclusively the opinions of the authors and are not the opinions or statements of Pot of Gold Estate Liquidations, LLC DBA AZFirearms.com or its employees or representatives.

Bidder agrees that upon processing a credit card, debit card or other bank card, such payment shall be immediate and irrevocable, and Bidder shall not dispute, challenge, issue a "Chargeback" or reverse any such payment or charge.

Governing Law and Venue

This Agreement and the rights of the Parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona without the application of any conflict of law principles that would require or permit the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any action at law or judicial proceeding instituted by any Party relating to this Agreement shall be instituted and maintained only in the state or federal courts in Maricopa County, Arizona.

1. EVERYTHING MUST BE PAID FOR IN-FULL WITHIN 3 DAYS OF THE AUCTION CLOSING, REGARDLESS OF WHEN IT IS PICKED UP. Items that have been left unpaid after 3 days of the auction date will become property of Pot of Gold Estate Liquidations, LLC DBA AZFirearms.com and resold at the discretion of Pot of Gold Estate Liquidations, LLC DBA AZFirearms.com, and this will result in the bidder being blocked from future auctions. Pot of Gold Estate Liquidations, LLC DBA AZFirearms.com requires that all items be picked up within 10 days of the auction. ITEMS NOT PICKED UP WITHIN 10 DAYS WILL BE FORFEITED (INCLUDING ANY AND ALL MONIES PAID FOR THE ITEM OR ITEMS). Items purchased with a credit card or debit card will require the presentation of a photo ID or Driver's license at the time of pickup. The name and address on the credit card must match the name and address on the bidder account. Pot of Gold Estate Liquidations, LLC DBA AZFirearms.com will not take credit card payments over the phone, if the bidder needs to change the payment method after the auction date, the bidder will be required to mail a cashier's check or pay by wire transfer.

2. Everything will be sold "as is, where is", with no guarantees of any kind, regardless of the statement of condition made. Buyers shall rely entirely on their own inspection and information. Statements on Certificate(s) Of Authenticity, Grading Certificates, Valuation Certificates, Certificates of Appraisal, Gemological Lab Reports, and the like (collectively referred to herein as COA) are the opinion of the company or entity that issued the COA and not those of Pot of Gold Estate Liquidations, LLC DBA AZFirearms.com. The information contained on the COA is added to the written descriptions of items solely as an attempt to fully disclose any information accompanying the item and in no way constitutes a guarantee of the validity of the information on the COA. It is the sole responsibility of the bidder to verify the claims made on said COA before placing any bids on that item. When placing bids on item(s) accompanied by COA(s), it is the sole responsibility of the bidder to research the company or entity that issued the COA and base bidding activity on the strength of the reputation of the company that issued the COA(s). No refunds will be given due to disputes over the validity of information contained on COA(s).

3. Grading and authentication is not an exact science, and it is possible that two people do not always grade or evaluate the same item alike. Any stated grade or condition or estimated value represents the opinion of the third-party professional whose opinion is quoted in the item(s) description. Lots that are accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from a third-party authenticator are not eligible for return. Absolutely no exceptions will be made regarding this policy. Given the opinionative nature of autograph authentication, autographed items that are accompanied by the Third-Party Authentication(s) listed with a lot represent the opinion of the third-party professional, and no further warranties or guarantees of opinion from outside authenticators, or so-called "experts," is being implied or guaranteed in any way. LOTS MAY NOT BE RETURNED BASED UPON A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION IN GRADING OR AUTHENTICATION. It is ultimately the Bidder's responsibility to arrive at a final conclusion based on their level of satisfaction of authenticity PRIOR to bidding. Please do not bid on a lot if you are not comfortable with the stated authentication(s) that accompany a lot.

4. Every effort is made to "guard" merchandise throughout the auction; however, the bidder becomes solely responsible for all items purchased immediately following their winning bid. Therefore, the bidder is advised to further guard the bidder's items at the bidder's own discretion.

5. The Bidder is responsible for knowing which item he/she is bidding on. If the bidder is unsure, the bidder should inquire or not bid. When the bidder becomes the winning bidder at auction the bidder has effected a contract and will be expected to pay for items in which the bidder was evidenced to be the successful bidder. Pot of Gold Estate Liquidations, LLC DBA AZFirearms.com will not honor bidder "mistakes".

6. Firearms: In accordance with Federal Law every gun purchase must be approved via a background check. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to be aware of his or her ability to pass a federal NICS check. It is the responsibility of the interstate purchaser to be aware of the laws of their state regarding the legality of receiving any item and to provide us with a receiving FFL Dealer in the bidder's locale. Due to Federal Regulations, we are unable to sell any firearm-related merchandise outside of the United States.
