ATTRIBUTION: Any statement made by Bremo Auctions about any lot or property, whether oral or written, concerning attribution of a work to any particular artist, school, country of origin, history or provenance, or to any date or time period, are expressions of our opinion and belief. Our opinions and beliefs have been formed honestly and in accordance with the standard of care reasonably to be expected of an auction house of Bremo Auctions' standing, due regard having been given to the estimated value of the item and the nature of the auction in which it is included. It must be clearly understood, however, that due to the nature of the auction process, we are unable to carry out exhaustive research of the kind undertaken by professional historians and scholars, and that as research develops and scholarship evolves, opinions on these matters may change. We therefore strongly advise any potential Bidders/Purchasers to personally examine any property in which they are interested, seek advice from their own professional advisors, and make any determinations regarding a property's authenticity PRIOR TO PARTICIPATING IN ANY AUCTION, particularly when bidding on any item of significant value. Buyers PURCHASING AGREEMENT TERMS This Purchasing Agreement ("Purchasing Agreement") details the terms and conditions under which Bremo Auctions conducts its auctions. Bidders/Purchasers must be 18 years of age or older. By bidding on an item through Bremo Auctions, Bidder/Purchaser hereby accepts, without limitations or qualifications, the terms and conditions of sale set forth below. 1. RESERVES: Many of the lots at auction are offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and Bremo Auctions below which the lot will not be sold. In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed the estimates listed. Bremo Auctions will execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor. In any event, the auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid or raise not commensurate with the value of such lot, regardless of whether the lot is subject to a reserve. 2. AS IS: All property is sold "as is,where is" and neither Bremo Auctions nor any of its consignors makes any warranties or representations, express or implied, of any kind or nature with respect to the property, its merchantability, or its fitness for a particular purpose, and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty of description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, quality, rarity, or condition of the property. No statement made at the sale, whether oral or written, in the bill of sale, on the invoice, or elsewhere shall be deemed a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability. 3. INSPECTION OF LOTS: Bidder/Purchaser acknowledges that all property/lots were made available for inspection prior to the auction by Bremo Auctions. Bremo Auctions strongly encourages any Bidder/Purchaser to carefully examine property and make determinations regarding authenticity PRIOR to bidding or otherwise participating in any sale. Bidder/Purchaser's failure to inspect or otherwise be fully informed as to the nature, quality, condition, quantity, or size of any property/lot will not constitute grounds for any claim, adjustment, refund, rescission, or termination of the Purchasing Agreement. 4. BIDDING: Except as provided in Paragraph 1 above, the highest Bidder as determined by the auctioneer shall be the Purchaser. In the case of a disputed bid, the auctioneer shall have sole discretion in determining the Purchaser and may also, at his or her election, withdraw the lot or reoffer the lot for sale. The auctioneer shall have sole discretion to refuse any bid or refuse to acknowledge any Bidder. 5. PURCHASER INFORMATION: All Bidders/Purchasers must submit their name, residence, business address, telephone number, copy of a valid driver's license, and a valid credit card number, prior to participating in any auction. Bremo Auctions reserves the right to suspend the account of any Bidder/Purchaser who intentionally submits false or fraudulent contact information. Bremo Auctions shall have the right to reject any bid from any Bidder that has not established credit with Bremo Auctions prior to participating in an auction. Any Bidder that intends to spend in excess of $100,000 should make arrangements at least five (5) days in advance of the sale, as a deposit may be required to participate. 6.

Any property offered at auction which contains materials from a species that is endangered or protected, including, but not limited to, ivory, coral, and tortoiseshell, may require a license or certificate prior to exportation from the United States or an individual state and additional certificates or licensure for importation into another state or country. Acquisition of the proper licensing for import or export of goods from local, state, or federal authorities is the sole responsibility of the Purchaser.
