AS IS All properties are sold "AS IS" and ALL SALES ARE FINAL. There are NO RETURNS and EXCEPTIONS. It is the buyer's responsibility to determine conditions, size, color, age, value or any other determinative factor. All measurements and weight are approximate.

William's Auctions may attempt to describe the property on the internet and at the auction for reference only, but makes no warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Neither William's Auctions nor the seller is responsible in any way for errors or omissions in the catalog or any supplemental material. Buyers shall be the sole judge of value. Especially in online auction, errors may occur in its operation and in the quality of the image, and William's Auctions does not accept liability for such errors. CATALOG DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION OF PROPERTY The knowledge of each property is partially on information provided to us by the seller and William's Auctions is not able to and does not carry out exhaustive due diligence on each property.

The auctioneer will have the sole and exclusive power and authority to the followings: a. The auctioneer has the right to determine the bidding increments and has the right to reject a bid. b. The auctioneer has the right to resolve any disputes between bidders. If any dispute arises after the sale, the William's Auctions sale record shall be conclusive. c. The auctioneer has the right to exclude any bidder from the premises. d. If a price does not reach reserve (the confidential minimum price), the auctioneer has the right to pass over the property. RESERVES Unless otherwise indicated, all properties that are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which such property will not be sold. No reserve will exceed the low estimate of the property. Reserves are agreed, upon with the consignor or in the absolute discretion of William's Auctions. The auctioneer may implement the reserve by opening bidding on any property by planning a bid on behalf on the seller. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may further bid on behalf of the seller, up to the amount of the reserve. Unless otherwise noted in the catalog or by an announcement at the auction, William's Auctions acts as agent on behalf of the seller and does not permit the seller to bid on his or her own property. ESTIMATES Each property has a low and high estimate representing that range which represents a fair and probable auction value. The estimate is based on previous auction records of comparable property, condition, rarity, quality and provenances. The estimates are often determined several months before a sale and are therefore subject to change upon further research of the property or to reflect market conditions or currency fluctuations. Estimates are subject to revision. Actual prices realized for items can fall below or above this range. An estimate of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose. Estimates do not include the buyer's premium. CONDITION REPORTS It is the responsibility of the prospective buyer to inquire as to the condition of a specific property PRIOR to bidding. All completed condition reports are posted with the property as an additional image; condition report will NOT be included in the description of the lot. If the prospective buyer wants to request further condition reports, please email to customerservice@williamartauction.com, all contact information must include in the email.

William's Auctions reserve the right to close the Condition Report desk at any time. BUY'S RESPONSIBILITY The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer should be the buyer.
