A.B.L's and the Consignor make no representation or warranty as to whether the purchaser acquires any reproduction rights with any property.2. However, if within 30 calendar days after the sale of any lot the purchaser gives notice in writing to A.B.L's that the lot is counterfeit and within 14 calendar days after such notice the purchaser returns the lot to A.B.L's in the same condition as when sold, and the purchaser, also within 14 calendar days after such notice, demonstrates to A.B.L's satisfaction, by providing properly executed and notarized affidavits by two (2) recognized scholars or experts in that particular field in which the lot is categorized, that it is counterfeit, A.B.L's will refund the full purchase price.3. A buyers premium will be added to the successful bid price of each lot and is payable by the purchaser as part of the total purchase price. The buyers premium per lot is 25% of the successful bid price up to and including $1,000,000, and 20% on any amount in excess of $1,000,000. 4. A.B.L's reserves the right to withdraw any property prior to and/or during the auction, with out any notice or explanation. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer, all bids are by lot as numbered and described in A.B.L's auction catalogues. Although in A.B L's discretion it may execute order bids or accept telephone bids as a convenience to buyers, who are not able to attend the auction, A.B.L's is not required to do so and is not responsible for any errors or omissions in connection therewith.5. The auctioneer has the right at his absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots and, in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive.6. On the fall of the auctioneer?s hammer, title to the offered lot will pass to the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer, subject to fulfillment by such bidder of all the conditions set forth herein, and such bidder thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility therefore, (b) will pay the full purchase price the day of the auction, or such part as the A.B.L's may accept, and (c) will remove the property from A.B.L's premises at his expense not later than 3 business days following its sale.

A.B.L?s shall have all of the rights afforded a secured party under provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code applicable in the State of Florida with respect to such property and A.B.L's may apply against such obligations all monies held or received by A.B.L?s for the account of, or due from A.B.L?s to, such purchaser. At A.B.L?s option, payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until A.B.L?s have collected funds represented by checks, or, in the case of bank or cashier's checks, and A.B.L's have confirmed their authenticity.8. Unless otherwise indicated, all property offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve, by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders, to protect the seller?s reserve. 9. Unless exempt by law, the purchaser shall pay any state and local sales or use tax at the time of the payment as part of the total purchase price or any part thereof. Buyers whom retain the Florida Annual Resale Certificate, must present a signed and dated copy prior to or at the time of payment. 10.
