TERMS

Orders are not binding upon Advantage Land Company (ALCO) until accepted by ALCO. Invoices are due and payable the next business day following the close of auction by 4pm CST unless otherwise explicitly mentioned in Auction Details and/or Payments. The Customer is responsible for sales tax, applicable fees, and all other taxes associated with the order. ALCO collects South Dakota sales tax on the total purchase price, which includes the buyer premium. ALCO requires any major credit card to verify the customer’s payment ability prior to bidding. During the process of bidder verification, a hold will be placed on the customer’s credit card. If the total amount of the sale is less than $750 this credit card will also be used to pay for the item(s). A 3% fee will be added to all credit card transactions. Individuals with transactions greater than $750 must call the office of ALCO at 605.692.2525 to arrange alternative payment methods. When paying by check or cashier’s check or bank wire, a customer’s credit card will only incur an actual charge in the event of non-payment. Customers can arrange specific payment types by calling ALCO prior to or during the bidding process at 605-692-2525 during normal business hours, or can be directed to info@advantagelandco.com on weekends or weekdays after 5pm CST. If you are from another country, you must pay in US funds.
