All visitors who wish to participate must read and acknowledge receipt of these policies and procedures (along with any auction rules that may be presented) prior to the start of the first auction in which they wish to participate, and MMS reserves the right to ban anyone found to be in violation of any of these policies and procedures from current and future auctions at any of its facilities without notice and in MMS' sole discretion.

1. Only registered bidders will be allowed at the auction-NO GUESTS
2. All bidders will be screened daily, in accordance with existing MMS visitor screening procedures. Bidders who pass the screening will be provided with a color-coded wrist band at the first auction they attend each day. The wrist-band must be worn for the duration of any and all MMS auctions which the bidder attends on that day, and displayed upon request to any employee on duty in an MMS facility. There will be only one color wrist band used for each day of auction.
3. The following rules will govern behavior of participants and their movement throughout MMS facilities in conjunction with September auctions:
a. At the start of auction at each location, groups of buyers will be transported in elevators carrying no more than 50% maximum occupancy to highest floor on which a unit is scheduled for auction.
b. Buyers will be required to wear face coverings at all times, stay in single file line for viewing and transit between units, and maintain 6' distance between themselves and others wherever and whenever possible.

After viewing, buyers will continue in single file line to end of the aisle or an open area away from the unit, following direction of MMS personnel at all times.
d. All bidding will be conducted in an area which allows for distance to be maintained between auctioneer, manager, and bidders at all times.
