1. In addition to bidding over the online platform, absentee and phone bidding is available by contacting Worth Auctions directly either by email at mail@worthauctions.com or calling 1-607-330-0358. Phone bids open at a minimum of $200.00. 2. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the buyer. The auctioneer has the right to reject any bid; to advance the bidding at his discretion; and, in the event of a dispute between two bidders, determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the lot in dispute. Should a dispute arise after the auction, our sale record is conclusive. 3. As a convenience to its clients, Worth auctions will accept and execute absentee and online bids in competition with other absentee bids and bidding in the room. Every effort will be made to carry out the bidder's instructions, but Worth Auctions shall in no event be responsible for failing correctly to carry out instructions, and Worth Auctions reserves the right to decline to undertake such bids. The auctioneer will endeavor to establish chronological precedence among absentee and pre-auction bids but Worth Auctions can make no guarantee to correctly establish chronological precedence. By bidding in any form (absentee, online pre-bidding, etc.) prior to the lot being offered, the bidder fully understands that the bid offered will not become part of the bidding process until the lot is offered during the live auction (at the time when floor bidders are invited to bid on the lot). Tie bids will occur between such bids and/or live floor bidding and the auctioneer reserves full discretion in deciding order of acceptance of bids. Chronology does not in any way guarantee a bidder of precedence in bid acceptance; order of bid acceptance is determined by the auctioneer at the time of live bidding. Prospective absentee bidders should consult the bid increment scale to ensure their bids conform to our printed bidding increments. 4. Worth Auctions reserves the right to withdraw any property at any time before its actual final sale, including during the bidding. Catalog descriptions are subject to amendment by oral or written notices or announcements made by Worth Auctions prior to sale. 5. Some items offered may be subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. 6. We have suggested high and low bid estimates for this lot, please bear in mind that these are merely statements of opinion, they are not in any way a basis for determining actual value. 7. During online bidding, Worth Auctions will not be liable for malfunctions, errors or omissions (hardware, software, electronic, human or otherwise), whether or not due to Worth Auctions' or its staff's fault or negligence, resulting in the inaccurate transmittal of bids, the failure to execute bids or any other irregularity. We sell approximately 70-100 lots per hour and as this is a live auction, we do not know the exact ending time for any lots. 8. All lots are available for inspection prior to the sale at Worth Auctions gallery in Ithaca, New York. Please note the viewing schedule. Our staff will attempt to answer questions and give advice, but the final decision to bid, and the amount to bid, is at bidder's discretion and liability. 9. We endeavor to provide as much information as we can for each lot we offer and earnestly strive to provide a fair, objective sense of the quality and condition of each item. Our listings always include one or more images of the actual item to assist bidders in their assessment process. Further, except where otherwise stated, we offer a full refund guarantee that our descriptions are free of false information. Any concerns must be brought to our attention within 14 days of the lot's shipment date. We endeavor to provide as much information as possible and describe condition issues as fairly as we are able. Where we have identified particular faults or damage to items it must be understood that reference to such faults does not imply the absence of others, nor does the lack of such a reference imply that an item is free of faults. Prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves as to the suitability of lots before buying. Written and oral descriptions are our opinions and should in no way be construed as a guarantee of any kind as to age, condition, materials or any other feature of items being sold. Many particulars will be subjective in nature and the auctioneer reserves the right to make final decisions as to whether descriptions contain erroneous information of a nature substantial enough to cause false impressions for buyers. Any time we determine that we have made a false statement in a listing, the bidder is invited to return the item for a full refund, with our apologies, except for listings where all sales are specified as final. To qualify for a refund, such false information must be clearly and indisputably incorrect, using a reasonable person standard. Subjective differences of opinion do not constitute false information. We cannot and do not claim that our descriptions are complete, as such a standard is a matter of subjective definition. Any details or criteria beyond what we have provided are the responsibility of the buyer to estimate or establish. Our staff are eager to answer any questions prior to auction and we strongly encourage all bidders to preview items in person before bidding. All items are sold as-is, where-is with no warranties or guarantees of any kind, express or implied. All items are available for examination at our gallery, prior to auction. Your bidding will signify that you have examined the items as fully as you desire, or that you have chosen not to examine them. All item descriptions are subject to change up until time of sale and the written terms in place at the time of sale of the item, shall be the only terms that are binding to the sale. IMPORTANT NOTE: All sales are final on lots for which we receive late payment (more than 10 days after the auction); all lots included on invoices for which payment is not made within ten days of the auction shall be sold as-is and are ineligible for return, regardless of any errors in the description(s). 10. Successful bidders assume full responsibility, including insurance, for items at the fall of the hammer. 11. In the unlikely event that we lose our internet connection during the auction, Worth Auctions reserves the right at its sole and absolute discretion to cancel the remainder of the auction. 12. No lot will be released to the buyer until payment in full has been made to Worth Auctions, including the buyer's premium and any applicable taxes, and the buyer has satisfied all bidder terms stated at time of bidding. 13. All transactions will be governed and interpreted by the laws of the State of New York and the Federal courts sitting in the State of New York. 14. Bidding increments do not include buyers premium, sales tax, insurance and/or shipping. 15. If we do not receive payment arrangements within ten days of the auction close, we reserve the right to bill the credit card placed on file when you registered for our auction. By placing a bid with Worth Auctions, buyer understands that he/she is making a legally binding offer to purchase. If the bid is accepted by Worth Auctions, a legally binding contract is created at the instant of acceptance. In the event of non-payment by the bidder, according to the terms stated in this auction listing, Worth Auctions is entitled to seek compensation from buyer for all costs of re-selling this lot, any difference in price between the two sales and all legal fees incurred by Worth Auctions in securing such payments from buyer.

We reserve the right to insist upon secure payment (certified check, money order or bank wire) for any invoice, for any reason, at our sole discretion. All bank wires for amounts less than $500.00 must also include a $20.00 processing fee to cover the bank's charge.

Because of Paypal's secure payment policies, invoices which are paid via Paypal's online payment center must be shipped; orders paid by online Paypal payment cannot be picked up at our gallery.

Worth Auctions reserves the right to offer any lots for which payment is not received within ten days of the auction, to the back-up bidder or other interested parties. In the case of any lot for which payment is not received within ten days of the auction, the high bidder understands and accepts that he/she relinquishes any right of title to that lot, should Worth Auctions arrange to sell said material to another buyer. Worth Auctions making such an offer to another buyer does not release the winning bidder from the legally binding contractual obligations accepted by bidding; the winning bidder remains legally bound to complete the purchase until such time as he/she receives written notification from Worth Auctions that the material has been sold to another buyer. Winning bidder agrees to pay any difference between the original high bid and the offer accepted by Worth Auctions from a back-up bidder or other party. Worth Auctions reserves the right to re-list in a later auction, any lots for which payment is not received within ten days of the auction and in that event, the bidder agrees to pay Worth Auctions all foregone commission amounts and buyer's premiums which would have been earned had the original high bid been paid. Additionally, winning bidders who do not pay within ten days from the auction agree to compensate Worth Auctions for any and all collection and reasonable legal fees incurred by Worth Auctions in its effort to secure payment from the winning bidder, including but not limited to litigation. If payment is made after ten days have elapsed since the auction, all sales are final on the lots included on said invoice(s); lots for which payment is made but not within ten days of the auction shall be sold as-is and are ineligible for return, regardless of any errors in the description(s). We take care to pack well, and ship in a timely fashion. Buyer pays for stated shipping within the United States, international customers please contact us for a shipping quote. We offer reduced shipping for winners of multiple lots, as follows: buyer pays full shipping amount of the won lot that bears the highest shipping charge, and receives a 30% discount on the stated shipping amount for all other won lots. For example, a winner of three lots with stated shipping charges of $4.50, $6.50 and $8.00 will pay $15.70 rather than the full $19.00. All books and other media ship via USPS Media Mail. Typical delivery time within the continental U.S. is 5-10 days. If your order is time sensitive, please contact us for a Priority Mail upgrade. Insurance is available and recommended (please note that by declining insurance, you assume the risk of loss or damage in transit) on shipped packages at a flat rate of $1.00 per $100.00 of coverage for domestic shipments and $2.00 per $100.00 of coverage for all international shipments (please let us know if you are adding insurance to your total). All shipments with a total value of $200.00 or greater, as well as all packages being shipped outside the United States, will require mandatory insurance coverage and that charge will be added to the shipping amount on the invoices. A standard 20% buyer's premium will be applied to all successful bids plus the 5% online transaction fee. Thus, the final lot price for successful online bidders who bid in auctions sponsored by Worth Auctions, will be 25% of the final hammer price. All orders shipping to addresses in New York or being picked up at our gallery are subject to 8% New York State sales tax unless buyer has a current New York State Resale Certificate on file with us.
