Risk of loss on any Goods shall pass to the Buyer upon payment in full to SSLLC/TPG of all sums due from Buyer in respect to the Goods.

ALL BIDS ARE FINAL, IRREVOCABLE AND BINDING and DO NOT include any applicable Buyer’s Premiums and Taxes. All Goods must be paid for by the Final Payment Date and removed by the Removal Deadline. Buyer’s failure to comply with these Terms will result in a default being declared and the Deposit and Buyer’s Premium may be retained by Seller and/or SSLLC/TPG in addition to other equitable and legal remedies under applicable law all of which are reserved. IN THE EVENT BUYER FAILS TO PERFORM CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS (PAYMENT AND REMOVAL) AS SPECIFIED IN THESE TERMS, BUYER WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE PLACED IN DEFAULT. THIS IS YOUR OFFICIAL NOTICE OF DEFAULT.
