GENERAL INFORMATION: The placement of a successful bid at a U.S.
Department of the Treasury online auction establishes a legally binding contract
between the successful bidder and the Government. An e-mail notice sent to
the high bidder establishes the contract, which is subject to final acceptance by
the Government. This contract is bound by these Terms and Conditions, any
Special Terms and Conditions published by the Contractor for the specific auc-
tion, 19 CFR Customs Duties Part 162 and all other Federal regulations governing
contracts for the purchase of Government property, which may be found at
. The successful bidder is legally bound to pay for
property awarded in accordance with his/her bid.
ELIGIBILITY OF BIDDERS: The Bidder warrants that he/she is not: (a) under 18
years of age; (b) an employee of any department or agency of the Federal
Government prohibited by the regulations of that agency from purchasing prop-
erty sold hereunder; (c) an agent or immediate member of the household of the
employee in (b), above; (d) the Contractor, subcontractor or vendor, or their
agent who has access to information concerning the property to be sold at U.S.
Department of the Treasury auctions that is not generally available to the public;
(e) presently debarred or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any
Federal agency in accordance with 41 CFR 10145.6; or (f) the party, or agent of the
party(s), from whom the property was seized.
The Contractor's subcontractor may not act as agent for a third party in pur-
chasing U.S. Department of the Treasury real property that is or has been in their
custody or control. For breach of this warranty, the Government shall have the
right to cancel the contract without liability.

edges responsibility for all costs associated with the abatement and remediation
of any disclosed or potential hazards associated with the property.
ORAL STATEMENTS AND MODIFICATIONS: Changes may be made on the
day of the sale to the property status or descriptions on the auction site. These
changes take precedence over previous auction site information pertinent to
that property, but do not alter in any way the basic Terms and Conditions of sale.
Further, no interpretation of any provision of the sales contract, including appli-
cable performance requirements, shall be binding on the Government unless
furnished to and agreed upon, in writing, by the Contracting Officer or his/her
designated representative.
REAL PROPERTY DESCRIPTIONS: The bidder understands and agrees that the
property is offered, purchased, and accepted by the buyer AS IS and WITH ALL
FAULTS including any building violations for the building as a whole that may
apply (including but not limited to fines and penalties). The Government and its
agent make no warranties or guarantees whatsoever whether written, oral, or
implied as to quality, condition, or habitability. All information contained in the
sales flyer and auction site was derived from sources believed to be correct, but
there is no guarantee. CWS Marketing Group disclaims any and all liability for
the accuracy or completeness of information provided on external websites per-
taining to this property. Buyer acknowledges that he/she relied entirely on
his/her own information, judgment, and inspection of the property. If a legal
misrepresentation is determined before the final closing on the property, the
Government reserves the right to cancel the sale and refund any earnest/deposit
money paid.
OFFERING OF PROPERTY FOR AUCTION/SUBMISSION OF BIDS:
The placement of a successful bid at a Department of the Treasury online auc-
tion establishes a legally binding contract between the successful bidder and
the Government and is subject to final acceptance by the Government. Once
the successful high bid is established a final written sales contract will be pre-
pared to include the individual information of the high bidder along with the
high bid amount. A contract will be established with the recognized back-up
bidder for execution.
TECHNICAL PROBLEMS AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES: CWSAMS has made
every reasonable effort to facilitate online bidding. However, it is possible that
technical problems and transmission issues may arise and affect the CWSAMS
website, bidding system and/or computer or server or your computer, personal
devise or software which is beyond the control of CWSAMS. By bidding online
Bidder acknowledges that CWSAMS is not responsible for technical problems or
transmission issues associated with a bid and that, in the event technical prob-
lems interfere with or prevent a bid, it may be necessary to withdraw items from
bidding due to technical errors or uncontrollable circumstances. Further, in the
event of the occurrence of a technical problem during any bid in any auction,
CWSAMS in its sole discretion reserves the right to declare an item sold, post-
pone or cancel the auction, extend the bidding time for this auction and/or re-
list the property for auction at another date and time. The decision of CWSAMS
on this matter shall be final. Bidder acknowledges that, by bidding in any auction
held by CWSAMS, Bidder accepts the terms and conditions of this Disclaimer.
AUCTION END & BID APPROVALS: When the auction closes, the page will dis-
play either SOLD or UNSOLD. SOLD indicates the reserve was met and establish-
es the high bid. Successful bidders will be notified via email of their status as the
winning bidder and will be bound by the payment terms as found in the
"Offering of Property for Auction and Submission of Bids" paragraph. UNSOLD
indicates the final bid did not meet the reserve. In this case, CWS will provide the
high bid to the Government for consideration. If the Government accepts the
high bid, the bidder will be notified. NOTE: CWS accepts no responsibility for loss
of connectivity, technical difficulties, or any other circumstances beyond our
control.
CONSIDERATION OF BIDS: The Government reserves the right to reject any or
all bids, and to waive any technical defects in bids. Property is sold with a mini-
mum reserve price unless the property is, in explicit terms, offered without a
minimum reserve price. If the minimum reserve price is not achieved, the
Government may withdraw the property at any time before the sales contract is
executed.
FINANCING: The buyer is responsible for obtaining his or her own financing
arrangements as required. The Government does not provide financing for the
purchase of any property offered under these Terms and Conditions. Bidders are
strongly recommended to investigate and secure financing arrangements, if
required, prior to bidding on a public offering.
If you are the successful bidder and planning to take title in the name of a corpora-
tion, business, or LLC, you must provide the appropriate official documentation to
show proof of eligibility to take title on behalf of that corporation, business, or LLC.
DEPOSIT: A $25,000 bid deposit is required to bid. U.S. funds only. Persons
wishing to participate in the bidding process of the sale are required to register
online for each specific auction you are interested. To complete the registration
process, download the Bid Deposit Form and mail with the cashier's check
deposit. Once the deposit is received, the bidder will be sent an email notification
confirming they are approved to bid.
At the conclusion of bidding, an e-mail will be sent to the successful high and
backup bidder confirming the bid amount. The successful high and backup bid-
der must acknowledge receipt of notice and supply information requested to
validate the bid acceptance within 24 hours of the time the notice was sent. This
acknowledgment confirms the price offered by the bidder and is subject to final
acceptance by the Government. A contract document will be sent to the suc-
cessful high and backup bidder for signature. The contract must be returned to
CWS within 24 hours of receipt. At this time the contract will be presented to the
Government and is subject to their final acceptance. The Government may with-
draw the property at any time before the sales contract is accepted. During this
process the successful bidder may not withdraw their bid at any time. Unilateral
conditions asserted by any bidder will not be accepted.
Failure to obtain financing during the closing process does not relieve the buyer
of his/her legal responsibility and obligation for completion of the contract.
Failure to comply with all provisions of the sales contract regarding closing may
result in termination of the contract because of buyer's default and may result
in the forfeiture of any earnest/deposit funds.
Deposits must be in the form of a cashier's check and made payable to CWS
Marketing Group, Inc. The completed Bid Deposit Form and deposit should be
mailed to: CWS Marketing Group, 7998 Donegan Drive, Manassas VA, 20109,
Attn: E. Connolly. The deposit is due no later than 5:00 p.m. EST on March 19,
2026.
CLOSING: Closing will be held within 45 calendar days of the date the
Government signs the sales contract accepting the Buyer's offer. Closing may be
held sooner, with mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller. Only the Seller may, at
its discretion, exceed closing beyond 45 calendar days. Closing costs including,
without limitation, transfer taxes, documentary stamps, recording fees, and
escrow fees will be paid by the Buyer and Seller in accordance with the customs
of the county in which the property is located. In the event Buyer desires title
insurance, it will be at the Buyer's expense.
The successful bidder's deposit will be retained as the initial payment for the
property. Cashier's checks payable to the bidder's name CANNOT be accepted.
Unsuccessful deposit checks will be mailed out within 5 business days.
The high bidder shall deliver ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price less the ini-
tial money deposit, whichever is greater, to CWS by cashier's/certified check,
payable to CWS Marketing Group, Inc or by bank wire transfer. Within three
business days, should the high bidder fail to deliver the money, Seller shall have
all rights and remedies provided in the Terms of Sale, including the right to retain
the initial money deposit and any other deposits or payments made by the high
bidder as liquidated damages.
GOVERNMENT DEED: Clear Title will be transferred via a Government Deed.
Liens and other encumbrances will be paid by the Government. Title Insurance
is available at Buyer's expense.

erty lot, the following information regarding the transaction shall be published on

Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments of 1996 (5 U.S.C. 552 (2000).
BACK-UP BIDDER: The back-up bidder's deposit will be mailed after receiving
government approval of the high bidder, the total deposit from the high bidder,
and the return of the completed back-up bidder contract. In the event money is
not received from the high bidder within the time period specified, the back-up
bidder will become the high bidder at the Purchase Price stated in the back-up
bid contract. The back-up bidder is obligated to transmit money as stated above
within three (3) business days of notification. The foregoing liquidated damages
provision shall apply to the back-up bidder.
INSPECTION OF PROPERTY: The bidder is invited, urged, and cautioned to
inspect the property prior to submitting a bid. Failure to inspect property shall
not constitute cause for cancellation of sale. Property will be available for
inspection at the times specified by the Contractor. Absolutely no access to
property is allowed without prior Contractor authorization. At their own
expense, potential bidders may have property inspectors examine the property
during regularly scheduled open houses.
The successful bidder's deposit(s) will be retained as the initial payment for the
property. Personal or business checks, bank letters, or letters of credit will not be
accepted. Cashier's checks made payable to the bidder's name CANNOT be
accepted. The bidder, who placed the bid accepted by the Government, is legally
bound to pay for property awarded to him/her in accordance with the successful
bid. Payment of the full purchase price must be made within the time specified
on the auction site.
DEFAULTS: Failure to make required deposit or final payments and/or comply
with the time frames specified on the website shall be deemed default of the
high bidder and may result in cancellation of the contract and forfeiture of any
rights, title, and interest the Buyer may have acquired. In that case, title of the
property will remain with the Government and will result in the forfeiture of the
deposit. If the default occurs because of failure to make the required deposit, the
buyer shall be liable to the Government for liquidated damages in the amount
of that deposit.

PLACING A MAXIMUM BID: Please be aware that all bids placed are maximum
bids. The website will enter the next bid increment and enter your bid as a max-
imum bid. The website will bid on your behalf up to your set maximum bid by
the preset bid increment. Example: The current bid is $1000 and the bidder
enters a maximum bid of $5000 with a bid increment of $100. The system will
bid one increment ($1100) until the bidder's "Maximum Bid" is exceeded. EXCEP-
TION: If the bidder enters a bid equal or above the reserve amount, then the sys-
tem observes the reserve amount as the next increment. Bidders may increase
the bid but not lower it. In the case of a tie bid, precedence is given to the earliest
bid. In the event of tied maximum bids at the conclusion of the auction, the
backup bidder's amount will be the same as the winning bid.
AUCTION SOFT CLOSE: All auctions end with an auction soft close. If a bidder
places a bid in the last 1-minute of an online auction, the end time for the specific
lot is extended by 1-minute. The process continues until there is no further bid-
ding. This allows every bidder an opportunity to advance their bid.
