Sale day is day one.) If the Buyer fails to give such notice, the Auction shall have no duty or obligation to provide arbitration services. It is important for the Buyer to present vehicles to arbitration only if they have readily apparent defects, conditions or discrepancies that have not been disclosed.

The Auction guarantee will be in effect until 12 noon day after sale day. All ten (10) year old and older vehicles, vehicles with over 100,000 miles, odometer discrepancies and broken odometers will be sold as-is unless otherwise announced. Any vehicle sold $2,500.00 or less is strictly as-is including frame. If the Auction arbiter determines the Buyer’s complaints to be without merit, the Buyer will be charged a $150.00 arbitration fee. If the Buyer’s complaint has merit then the Seller will be charged a $150.00 arbitration fee plus reasonable documented costs, expenses and transportation of the vehicle, which Buyer has expended, not to exceed $500.00 maximum. Full Auction fees will be charged to the consigner on rejected vehicles. Any deliberate misrepresentation of a vehicle will be grounds for arbitration at the Auction’s discretion. Deliberate misrepresentation may be grounds for terminating auction privileges. The arbiter may invoke his right to make a judgment call that may differ from published policy. Vehicles placed in arbitration must have a specific problem identified on the arbitration form. Arbitration is not an overall condition check of the vehicle, it is designed to verify or clarify specific problems found by the purchasing Dealer. Fleet Lease/ bank sellers from time to time may be granted their own arbitration policies. Please refer to that specific seller’s handout for up-to-date arbitration policy. CARFAX information is solely decided by arbitration. It is the Buyer’s responsibility to check. A vehicle may NOT be arbitrated due to any exception, event, odometer reading or any other discrepancy found in CARFAX, AUTOCHECK or any other vehicle history provider. It is the buyer’s responsibility to correct any errors with the history provider. Auction may or may not provide assistance in this matter at its sole discretion. Auction may review vehicle history reports to prevent fraud but any arbitration decision based solely on vehicle history reports will be at the sole discretion of the auction. Auction decision(s) will be final and binding on all parties. TITLES: SBAA guarantees title on vehicles sold through the auction. All titles must be free and clear of liens.
