1. Bidder hereby acknowledges its interest in potentially purchasing Property and wishes to access certain information from PRUSA pertaining to the Property (such information, individually or collectively, as applicable, “Due Diligence Information”).
2. Bidder agrees that the Due Diligence Information, as well as all other information provided in connection herewith, is proprietary and confidential and provided for informational purposes only. Some information was furnished by outside sources. PRUSA makes no representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever about the Due Diligence Information or of any other information, including but not limited to the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability or availability thereof. Bidder agrees not to rely upon any information provided by or through PRUSA and to independently conduct any and all studies, investigations, reports, searches and other inquiries, including but not limited to consulting with third-party experts, before bidding on or purchasing any Property. Bidder acknowledges that there may be one or more listing agents, including or not including PRUSA, for a given Property. No warranty or representation, express or implied, is made by PRUSA, or seller(s), any listing agent(s), or any of their respective principals, agents, employees, affiliates, successors or assigns (collectively, and together with PRUSA, “Seller Group”), as to any matter, including the accuracy or completeness of any information.
3. Bidder agrees to keep the Due Diligence Information and all other information provided by Seller Group confidential and agrees not to disseminate same to any third-parties (except to partners, lenders, advisors and others in connection with the purchase of the Property) without the prior written consent of PRUSA. In no event will PRUSA be liable for any loss or damage, including, without limitation, indirect or consequential loss or damage, for any matter in connection herewith or in connection with any information contained in, or accessible through, the Due Diligence Information, including but not limited to the incorrectness, incompleteness, or inaccessibility thereof, or of any information in any virtual data room or provided through any other medium, channel or method of distribution, or for any matter in connection with any online or other bidding platform or website that PRUSA or any other may make available, or otherwise. Bidder acknowledges that Seller Group, or a member thereof, may, directly or indirectly, whether through PRUSA or a third-party, bid on Property or participate in auction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, by its signature below and/or by accessing any Due Diligence Information, Bidder agrees to the terms hereof and to the terms of sale, as set forth in the Due Diligence Information or elsewhere by PRUSA, including Bidder’s obligation to pay to PRUSA, or its assignee, by closing, the relevant Buyer’s Premium as set forth by PRUSA in the Due Diligence Information and/or elsewhere, and to forever and unconditionally release PRUSA from any cause or claim, whether in connection herewith, the Property, or otherwise.
4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Bidder acknowledges that, unless explicitly provided in writing by PRUSA, no commission shall be paid by Seller Group to any Bidder or any agent thereof. Agents seeking compensation, including cooperating broker commissions or otherwise, must look solely and exclusively to purchaser(s).
5. Bidder understands that any unauthorized disclosure, distribution or use of Due Diligence Information may result in personal liability and penalties under the law. PRUSA reserves the right to refuse participation or admission to anyone, in any capacity or medium, from any offering, for any or no reason. No physical access to any Property is permissible without PRUSA’s prior written approval.
6. No verbal statements may be relied upon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, neither PRUSA, nor any person or entity, other than seller, has the authority to enter into any binding agreement, letter of intent, contract, or other agreement with respect to any Property.
7. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Bidder understands and acknowledges that any and all information provided by or on behalf of Seller Group with respect to Property is being provided without any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of such information on the part of Seller Group and, accordingly, Bidder agrees that Seller Group shall have no liability to Bidder, to any prospective purchaser of Property, or to any other as a result of such information being provided, directly or indirectly, to such prospective purchaser or any third-parties. Bidder and each prospective or actual purchaser will be entitled to rely solely on those particular representations and warranties, if any, that are made by or on behalf of seller in a definitive written agreement with respect to the consummation of a purchase of Property, when, as, and if it is executed, and subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be specified in such definitive agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “definitive written agreement” does not include an executed letter of intent or any other preliminary written agreement. Seller Group expressly disclaims any duty to update, supplement or correct any information disclosed in connection with the potential sale of Property, regardless of the circumstances. The provision of such information by PRUSA, regardless of form, substance, or completeness thereof, to prospective purchasers will not obligate Seller Group to continue discussions with any prospective purchaser, nor will Seller Group otherwise be obligated to take, continue or forego any action with respect to the sale of Property. Bidder understands and agrees to the limitations and other provisions set forth herein. In the event Seller Group provides any information which Seller Group is aware of regarding zoning, environmental or other matters affecting any Property, including but not limited to the condition of the said Property (including, but not limited to structural, mechanical and soils conditions, the presence and location of asbestos, PCB transformers, other toxic, hazardous or contaminated substances, and underground storage tanks, in, on, or about such Property), (i) such shall be provided to seller’s actual knowledge (which shall be limited to the actual knowledge of the individual who executes a contract on behalf of seller), without investigation or duty of inquiry, and (ii) such shall be provided without any representation or warranty from seller as to its accuracy or correctness.
8. Bidder hereby expressly, unequivocally and unconditionally releases Seller Group from any liability whatsoever, whether in connection with any matter relating to the Property or the purchase thereof, or otherwise. In no event will Seller Group be liable for any loss or damage, including, without limitation, indirect or consequential loss or damage, for any matter in connection herewith or in connection with any information contained in, or accessible through, the Due Diligence Information, as well as the inaccessibility of any virtual data room, online bidding platform, app, website and/or other digital platform that PRUSA or any other may make available, or otherwise.
