Just take a gander at the pertinent parts of Gooding & Company's Terms & Conditions (Gooding is the auctioneer that sold Jerry's car to the buyer who is now crying fake). Pretty scary stuff. Worth noting if you ever decide to buy a car at auction and aren't aware of what a buyer agrees to when doing so. Gulp.

Aka please be scared of our official sounding disclaimer so you do not think to actually understand the law and how it applies. you can see the same disclaimer on the back of a parking lot stub- just because it is there does not mean anything
