Once a bid has been placed you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions set forth by Monahan Real Estate & Development LLC dba Cash Auctions (also described as "Auctioneer"). Cash Auctions shall not be held responsible for failure to read these terms.

The auctioneer and auction firm are acting only as agents and are not responsible for the acts or statements for the principles.
3. REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS: In order to bid on each Auction a user is required to register & agree to our terms. Out-of-State Bidders (bidders from outside New York State) will need manual approval to bid- If outside of NYS, you are required to call our office in order to register; you will NOT be able to register for an auction the day-of (same day an auction closes). In consideration of your use of the Service, you agree to:
a. Provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service's registration form (such information being the "Bidder Information")
b. Maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or Cash Auctions has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Cash Auctions has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof).
c. $1.00 deposit credit card verification. The card will NOT be charged; it is a "snapshot" to prevent fraud and is used to verify the cardholder's information. Please be assured that no amount is withdrawn at this time even though you may see a $1 transaction on your card/account. Cash Auctions is partnered with Authorize.net, to accept credit cards safely and securely for our customers. For additional information regarding the privacy of your sensitive cardholder data, please read the Authorize.Net Privacy Policy

4. PAYMENT- By placing a bid you agree to allow Cash Auctions to charge your card on file for any purchases that are made. Your credit card will be charged within 24 hours of you being declared the successful bidder. Invoices will then be emailed and if an outstanding balance exists, it must be paid IN FULL by the end of the following business day. A 15% buyer’s premium is added to the hammer price (final bid/sale price) and becomes the Subtotal, which is then charged the appropriate NYS sales tax. For Example, if the winning bid is $10.00, the Subtotal becomes $11.50 and assuming a Sales Tax of 8.75% (Erie County) the Total would then be $12.51. All sales may also, at the discretion of the auctioneer, be subject to a 3% credit card fee. Additionally, all registrable assets sold (including but not limited to- vehicles, boats, trailers, RVs/travel trailers, tractors) will be subject to a Non-Refundable $500.00 Deposit.
