IMPORTANT – READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE PARTICIPATING IN THE AUCTION:

1. In order to participate in this auction all bidders must register prior to bidding and create a user name. This process is simple and is completely free.

Occasionally, however, registered names might receive follow up emails pertaining to new properties that have become available.
   
   
2. Immediately after an auction closes the winning bidder must pay the $199 processing fee (for document preparation and FedEx shipping) via credit card or PayPal. The purchase package will then be sent FedEx (with a return, pre-paid envelope included) and the winning bidder will have 5-days to return the signed documents and the down payment (personal checks accepted).
   
   
3. Winning bids are considered binding and no refunds (of processing fees, down payments or monthly payments) will be returned.

   • Zoning, building codes and other land use restrictions or limitations.
     
     
   • Existing roads or insurable access or lack thereof. While most all parcels being auctioned have some form of access easements recorded in the county and some are even located on public roads, it is expressly the responsibility of bidders to contact GotAcres.com and request copies of recorded easements in order to determine for themselves access legality being as GotAcres.com makes no such representations.
     
     
   • Utilities, water, power or any other such services of any nature or lack thereof.
     
     
   • Mineral rights or the lack thereof.

   • Any liabilities, limitations, restrictions or diminished values resulting from governmental actions of any nature.
   
   
   
9. The property is raw, unimproved land being sold on a “AS IS, WHERE IS AND WITH ALL FAULTS” basis.
   
   
10. It is understood that bidders friendly to, or even controlled by, GotAcres.com may occasionally bid on available parcels.

12. Buyers are encouraged to inspect properties before bidding and to seek competent legal advice.
    
    
13. The Buyer is solely responsible for locating the property and Seller assumes no responsibility or liability for Buyer's possible failure to locate or identify the specific parcel(s) purchased.
