TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE 1. Livingston's Auction has endeavored to accurately describe all of the items being auctioned. However, all property is sold "As Is". Neither the auctioneer, auction staff, nor any consignor makes any warranties or representations of any kind or nature with respect to the property, and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty of descriptions of genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture source, origin or condition of the property, and no statement, oral or written, made at the sale or in the catalogue, bill of sale or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or an assumption of liability. All perspective buyers should personally inspect or have their agent inspect property before bidding. In no event will our liability to purchaser exceed the purchase price actually paid. We encourage all patrons to take advantage of the preview hours scheduled for the auction for personal inspection of any item they wish to bid on. 2. The highest bidder for each lot shall be the buyer. If any dispute arises as to the bidding or between two (2) bidders, the auctioneer has the final discretion to determine the successful bidder. The Auctioneer shall at her/his discretion decide to re-open the bidding or not. 3. Livingston's Auction accepts absentee bids including written left bids, telephone bids, and Live Auction internet bids. All absentee bids will be executed by a staff member competitively during the sale. Although our absentee bidding system is 100% honest, it is not foolproof. Livingston's Auction is not responsible for failing to execute any absentee bid or internet bid. Regardless of the amount of the absentee bid, items will be purchased for the selling hammer price once competitive bidding has ceased. In the event of tie bids between absentee bidders or Live eBay bidders and those in attendance, preference will be given to the attending bidder. Where two absentee bidders bid the same amount the first received will be honored. Should there be a significant change in the condition of the item such as damage or discovery of a condition problem that a representative of Livingston's Auction deems in the best interest of the absentee bidder that the bidder would change the bid the bid will NOT be executed. 4. Arrangements for Telephone Bids and written Absentee bids must be made prior to the start of the auction. An Absentee Bid form is available on our website. Call (405) 858-1914 or fax us at 405-605-6132 to place your absentee or telephone bid. The completed form with your signature is required before that bid can be entered into our computer system.

Non paying eBay bidders can receive a non-paying bidder claim in addition to negative feedback. 6. BUYERS PREMIUM No buyer's premium is charged to Floor bidders. A buyer's premium of 15% of the hammer price will be added to the total purchase price of all properties as part of the total purchase price on any lot sold through Live eBay.
