An Auction Purchase Contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that outlines the terms and conditions of a sale at an auction. This type of contract typically defines the amount to be paid, the date of the sale, and the goods or services that are being sold. It also provides a mechanism to settle any disputes that may arise. There are two primary types of Auction Purchase Contract: Absolute and Reserve. An Absolute Auction Purchase Contract is a legally binding agreement in which the highest bidder wins the goods or services regardless of the bid price. A Reserve Auction Purchase Contract, on the other hand, requires the seller to accept the highest bid, provided the bid meets or exceeds a predetermined reserve price.
