The terms and conditions of the Contract are incorporated into the Memorandum of Sale. In cases of conflict, any special terms and conditions of listing, and then our Auction House Contract, and then this Memorandum of Sale, shall control. Without limitation, the following apply: o Seller has no obligation to ship the Lot to you in the event of nonpayment or a chargeback dispute. Shipping typically occurs within fifteen days after Seller?s receipt of payment, but Seller is not liable to you for delays that are brief or beyond Seller?s control. o If you fail to pay your invoice when due, initiate a chargeback, or request permission to return the Lot, Seller may (a) obtain specific performance of your obligation to purchase the Lot and/or refuse any request to return; or (b) cancel your bid and obtain from you liquidated damages of forty percent (40%) of your winning bid. o You agree that liquidated damages cover restocking, the buyer?s premium, shipping and handling, processing fees, relisting, storage, auction costs and losses, and other damages. You agree that such amount is not a penalty but is a reasonable estimate of damages to avoid the inconvenience and difficulty of Seller obtaining an adequate remedy. o We generally accept bank wire transfers, personal or company check, cashier's check, money order, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. For items purchased online, you will be emailed an invoice within 24 hours after the auction. This email provides a link that allows you to pay immediately and securely online.

If paying by check, money order, or cashier's check, Seller reserves the right to hold all purchases until the check has cleared to the satisfaction of Seller and its bank. In some cases, Seller may decline the method of payment elected by you and require a different or specific form of payment. o All sales are final and as-is. You acknowledge that Seller has provided adequate opportunity for you to inspect the Lot and that you have not relied on any representations or warranties made by or on behalf of Seller. You hereby indemnify and hold harmless Seller and assume for yourself the entire risk of losses, damages, demands, and/or legal proceedings that may in any way arise from or relate to: (a) any error or omission in any listing, description, photograph, appraisal, estimate, evaluation, representation, or warranty of or about the Lot that may be provided to you by Seller or any other person; (b) your purchase, resale, gift, or other use or disposition of the Lot; and/or (c) any products liability or defects, latent or otherwise, or the physical condition of any items or lots purchased or any law, regulation or standard applicable thereto. o All risk of loss from fire, theft, storage, removal, shipping, or any other cause passes from Seller to the winning bidder upon the fall of the hammer (or expiration of time in an online auction). It is your responsibility to insure against the risk of loss while your lot is in Seller?s possession, during shipment, or otherwise. In the event that Seller is nevertheless found liable to you for any damage, loss, or failure to deliver, Seller?s liability shall be limited to a refund of amounts actually paid by you to Seller for the item(s) lost, damaged, or not delivered. o IN ANY DISPUTE WITH SELLER, YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. Any dispute with Seller will be resolved by binding arbitration before an impartial Arbitrator selected by Seller and held in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, applying the law of ___________________. Seller may enforce any settlement or award in any court of competent jurisdiction. o You agree not to initiate any chargeback dispute against Seller prior to exhausting arbitration and that any initiation of a chargeback dispute after an arbitration award favoring Seller will constitute fraud. You agree to pay liquidated damages in the amount of $2,500 in the event you file a chargeback dispute in breach of this clause, which is not a penalty but a reasonable estimate of Seller?s costs, fees, and expenses of responding to your chargeback dispute. Seller may enforce this clause in arbitration or, without waiving arbitration, in any court of competent jurisdiction. ? Our electronic record of the placement of your winning bid constitutes your execution of the Memorandum of Sale. ? The date on which your bid is accepted as the winning bid shall be incorporated into the Memorandum of Sale as its effective date. 2. AUCTION RULES Bids cannot be withdrawn, although you can raise your bid. Bids made in error or by someone else using your account are your responsibility and cannot be withdrawn. Seller is not responsible for any Website, internet, or other failures that interfere with the placement or receipt of any bid. Seller may set confidential reserve prices and, in Seller?s sole discretion, determine that an auction has no winner if no bid exceeds the reserve price. Seller may, but need not, place its own bids not to exceed the reserve price. Seller may withdraw a lot from auction at any time prior to accepting a winning bid. Nothing in the listing shall be construed to indicate a reserve price. Seller may in its sole discretion exclude any bidder or disregard any bid and instead accept the next highest bid as the highest bid. The winning bidder is the highest bid accepted by Seller. The online display showing the highest bid does not represent acceptance by Seller ? no bids have been rejected by Seller until Seller determines the winning bid. Seller determines the winning bidder in Seller?s sole discretion, and Seller has the authority to resolve any disputes between bidders. In case of an error by Seller or the auctioneer, Seller may in its sole discretion cancel the sale and relist the Lot. You indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any losses, damages, claims, and legal proceedings that may arise from or relate to the Seller?s application of a reserve price, withdrawal of any lot, determination of the winning bid, relisting, or resolution of any dispute between bidders. 3.
