A. The highest bidder at the sale, other than the judgment holder to the extent of the credit bid, shall pay the price bid by not later than 5:00 p.m. mountain standard time of the day after the sale, other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. If the highest bidder fails to pay the amount bid for the property struck off to the bidder at the sale, the qualified entity, in the qualified entity's sole discretion, shall either continue the sale to reopen bidding or immediately offer the property to the second highest bidder who may purchase the property at that bidder's bid price. The deposit of the highest bidder who fails to pay the amount bid shall be applied to the costs of facilitating the sale and the balance, if any, and treated as additional sale proceeds to be distributed pursuant to section 42-18236, subsection A. If the second highest bidder does not pay that bidder's bid price by 5:00 p.m. mountain standard time of the next day, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays after the qualified entity offers the property to that bidder, the qualified entity shall either continue the sale to reopen bidding or offer the property to each of the prior bidders on successive days excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays in order of their highest bid, until a bid price is paid, or if there is no other bidder, the sale shall be deemed to be continued to a time and place designated by the qualified entity, or if not designated, the sale shall be continued to the same place and at the same time twenty-eight days after the last scheduled sale date. If the twenty-eighth day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the sale shall be continued to the next business day. If the sale is continued, the qualified entity shall provide notice of the continuation of the sale by registered or certified mail, with postage prepaid, to all bidders who provide their names, addresses and telephone numbers in writing to the qualified entity. In addition to the forfeit of deposit, a highest bidder who fails to pay the amount bid by that bidder is liable to any person who suffers loss or expenses as a result, including attorney fees. In any subsequent sale of property, the qualified entity may refuse to accept any bid of that person. In any sale that is continued pursuant to this subsection, the qualified entity shall reject a bid from any previous bidder who elected not to pay that bidder's bid price.
B. The price bid shall be paid at the office of the qualified entity or the qualified entity's agent, or any other reasonable place designated by the qualified entity. The payment of the bid price may be made at a later time if agreed on in writing by the qualified entity. Within seven business days after receipt of payment by the qualified entity or the qualified entity's agent, made in a form that is satisfactory to the qualified entity, the qualified entity shall execute and submit the qualified entity's deed to the county recorder for recording and, on request, shall provide an unrecorded copy of the signed qualified entity's deed to the purchaser. The recording of the qualified entity's deed on sale constitutes delivery of the deed to the purchaser. The qualified entity is not liable for any damages resulting from the failure to record the deed on sale after physical delivery of the deed to the purchaser. The deed shall include the following information:
1. The date, court action number and name of the judgment ordering the sale of the property.
2. The name of the purchaser.
3. The property description.
4. The date of the conveyance.
5. A formal acknowledgment by the qualified entity.
C. All persons to whom the qualified entity mails a notice of a sale pursuant to section 42-18232 shall waive all defenses and objections to the sale not raised in an action that results in an injunction before the scheduled date of the sale. A copy of the injunction shall be delivered to the qualified entity within twenty-four hours after the order is entered.
D. A sale is not complete if the sale violates subsection C of this section because of an undisclosed order entered by the court within the time provided for in subsection C of this section. A sale held in violation of subsection C of this section shall be continued to a date, time and place announced by the qualified entity at the sale and shall comply with section 42-18234. If not announced, the sale shall be continued to the same place and at the same time twenty-eight days later. If the twenty-eighth day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the sale shall be continued to the next business day.
E. The deed conveyed pursuant to this section shall operate to convey to the purchaser title of the purchased property. That conveyance shall be absolute without right of redemption and clear of all subordinate liens, claims or interests.
