No catalog, written material, photograph or statement by Capsule Gallery Inc., its employees or agents, shall be deemed a representation, warranty or guaranty as to any Property described or portrayed. Estimates of value provided in any catalog represent Our opinion of a range of possible values. Actual prices realized can fall below or above this range. Any indications of measurement are approximate. Prospective Bidders are responsible for making all inspections of and determinations about Property, in person or through an agent, before bidding. 3.Withdrawal.

Property will not be released to You or Your agent until full payment has been made as provided above. Purchased Property must be picked up within fourteen (14) days after the date of sale of said Property. Capsule Gallery Inc. will not be responsible for packing purchased Items or arranging shipping.

A storage fee of $10.00 per Lot per day begins accruing on the 15th day after the date of sale. 5.Remedies for Nonpayment. If a Purchaser fails to pay the Total Purchase Price of Property plus applicable fees, charges and taxes in full by wire transfer or other acceptable method within seven (7) days after the date of sale, in addition to other remedies available to Us and the Consignor by law, including without limitation the right to hold the Purchaser liable for all sums due together with costs of collection, including attorneys' fees, We may retain as damages all payments made by the Purchaser. In addition to such remedy We may at Our option (a) cancel the sale and/or (b) resell the Property at public auction or by private sale without reserve, and the Purchaser will be liable for any deficiency, handling charges, expenses of both sales, Our commission on both sales at Our regular rates, all other fees and charges due hereunder, and all other costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and incidental damages. In addition, a Purchaser defaulting hereunder will be deemed to have granted Us a security interest in, and We may maintain as collateral security for such Purchaser's obligations to Us, any Property in Our possession owned by such Purchaser. We shall have all of the rights afforded a secured party under the New York Uniform Commercial Code with respect to such Purchaser. We reserve the right to hold Property purchased at an auction or sale until payment has been made in full by wire transfer. Payment will not be deemed to have been made until We have received payment in full of the Total Purchase Price of Property plus applicable fees, charges and taxes by wire transfer or other acceptable method. 6.Right to Reject Bids; Disputes. We reserve the right to reject any bid. The highest Bidder acknowledged by the Auctioneer will be the Purchaser. In the event of any dispute or question regarding a bid, the Auctioneer will have sole and final discretion to determine the Purchaser or to withdraw or re-offer the Property for auction or sale. If any dispute arises after an auction or sale, Our records shall be deemed determinative. At Our discretion We may accept order bids or telephone bids, but We are not responsible for any errors or omissions in connection with any such bids. 7.Bidding. If the Auctioneer decides that the amount of the opening bid is less than the value of the Property being offered, the Auctioneer may reject the bid and remove the Property from sale. If, having accepted an opening bid, the Auctioneer decides that an advance is not sufficient, the Auctioneer may reject the advance. 8.Recognized Buyer. After the Auctioneer's indication that a Lot has been sold, ownership rights to the Lot will pass to the highest Bidder acknowledged by the Auctioneer upon fulfillment by such Bidder of all the conditions set forth herein. At the conclusion of bidding for a specific Lot, the Bidder (a) assumes full risk and responsibility for the Lot, and (b) is firmly committed to pay the Total Purchase Price of the Lot. 9.Sales Tax. Unless exempt by law, a Purchaser will be required to pay New York sales tax or any applicable compensating tax of another state on the applicable portion of the Total Purchase Price. All Property picked up at Our gallery or shipped or delivered to an address in New York is subject to New York sales tax, unless a valid resale number and certificate are provided to Capsule Gallery Inc. by the Purchaser. If You have a resale number, We can provide a resale certificate for Your completion. 10.Right to Publicize. You hereby grant to Capsule Gallery Inc., and Capsule Gallery Inc. reserves, the right to retain, publish and use for any purpose (including publicity) any information, photographs and written materials relating to Property. Capsule Gallery Inc. may exercise said rights before, during or after an auction or sale and whether or not the Property in question was sold. Capsule Gallery Inc. may publish said information and photographs on Capsule Gallery Inc.'s website or disclose it in any manner and to whomever Capsule Gallery Inc. elects. 11.Reserve. Some Lots may be subject to a reserve ("Reserve"), which is the confidential minimum price below which a specific Lot will not be sold. A Reserve may be agreed upon between Capsule Gallery Inc. and the Consignor or it may be established by Capsule Gallery Inc. in its sole discretion. Capsule Gallery Inc. may implement a Reserve by opening the bidding process on behalf of the Consignor and then Capsule Gallery Inc. may bid on the Lot until the amount of the Reserve has been reached. Capsule Gallery Inc. may place successive or consecutive bids for a Lot or Capsule Gallery Inc. may bid in response to bids place by other Bidders. In instances in which Capsule Gallery Inc. has an ownership interest in a Lot, Capsule Gallery Inc. may bid up to the Reserve to protect such interest. In certain circumstances, a Consignor may pay Capsule Gallery Inc. an amount agreed upon between the parties to "buy in" a Lot if the Reserve has not been reached. If Capsule Gallery Inc. decides that any opening bid is below the Reserve of the Lot, Capsule Gallery Inc. may reject the bid and/or withdraw the Lot from auction. 12.Agency. Property offered for sale by Capsule Gallery Inc. is offered in Capsule Gallery Inc.'s capacity as agent for one or more Consignors. The sale of Property occurs from the Consignor of the Property to the Purchaser. If Property is owned by Capsule Gallery Inc., the sale occurs from Capsule Gallery Inc. to the Purchaser. 13.Commitment Fee. In certain instances, Capsule Gallery Inc. may require that a prospective Bidder pay to Capsule Gallery Inc. a commitment fee ("Commitment Fee") in order to place a valid bid on Property. The amount of any Commitment Fee would be set by Capsule Gallery Inc. in its discretion. A Bidder would be obligated to pay the Commitment Fee before or concurrently with the Bidder's initial bid in order for said bid to be valid. If Capsule Gallery Inc. acknowledges a Bidder who has paid a Commitment Fee as the Purchaser of Property, the amount of the Commitment Fee will be applied to payment of the Total Purchase Price of the Property. If a Bidder who has paid a Commitment Fee is not acknowledged by Capsule Gallery Inc. as the Purchaser, any Commitment Fee paid by that Bidder would be refunded. If a Bidder who has paid a Commitment Fee fails to pay the Total Purchase Price of Property by wire transfer (or other acceptable method) within seven (7) days after the date of sale of the Property, said Bidder will irrevocably forfeit any Commitment Fee paid in its entirety. Failure by a Purchaser to pay the Total Purchase Price of Property by wire transfer (or other acceptable method) within seven (7) days after the date of sale will be considered a default of these Terms and Conditions and said Commitment Fee will be deemed irrevocably forfeited to Capsule Gallery Inc. as partial damages due Capsule Gallery Inc. on account of the Purchaser's default. 14.Multiple Auction Bidding Platforms and Methods. Capsule Gallery Inc. conducts auctions through multiple auction bidding platforms. A Bidder may participate in Capsule Gallery Inc.'s auctions in person at Capsule Gallery Inc.'s gallery, by telephone, by submission of written order, or online using Capsule Gallery Inc.'s auction bidding platform or other auction bidding platforms. In the event of any dispute or question regarding a bid, Capsule Gallery Inc. will have sole and final discretion to determine the Purchaser. 15.Limit of Liability. In no event will We be liable to a Purchaser for any reason for an amount that exceeds the portion of the Total Purchase Price actually paid. 16.Time of the Essence. By submitting a bid on Property You indicate Your agreement to these Terms and Conditions and further agree that time is of the essence with respect to Your obligations under these Terms and Conditions. 17. Severance Provision. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in these Terms and Conditions shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of these Terms and Conditions, but these Terms and Conditions shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions had never been contained herein. If, moreover, any one or more of the provisions contained in these Terms and Conditions shall, for any reason, be held to be excessively broad as to time, duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the fullest extent compatible with applicable law. 18. Governing Law. These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. By bidding at any of Our auctions in any manner, whether in person or by agent, whether in writing, by telephone or by other means, You shall be deemed to have submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New York, and if applicable, to the federal courts sitting in New York. 19. Modification. Capsule Gallery Inc. reserves the right to waive or modify these Terms and Conditions from time to time. You may not waive or modify these Terms and Conditions and any attempted waiver or modification of these Terms and Conditions by You will be deemed to have no legal force or effect.
