The following can be amended by any posted notices or oral announcements
during the sale. It constitutes the entire terms and conditions on which
property listed in the catalogue shall be offered for sale or sold by
NorthEast Auction Associates (NEAA) and any consignor of such property for
whom NEAA has acted as agent. By bidding at an auction, whether in person or
by agent, absentee bid, telephone, Internet or other means, the purchaser or
bidder agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions of Sale.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
PLEASE READ AND FAMILARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS
BEFORE BIDDING.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a Catalogued sale and lots will be sold in catalogue
order.
1.All items are sold "AS IS, WHERE IS" with all faults. Neither NEAA nor the
consignor makes any warranties or representations of any kind expressed or
implied or nature with respect to property or its value, and in no event
shall be responsible for the correctness of description, genuineness,
attribution, provenance, authenticity, authorship, completeness, condition
of property or estimate of value. No statement (oral or written) in this
catalog, at the sale, or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty or
representation, or any assumption of responsibility. All measurements are
approximate. All items are available for your examination prior to bidding.
Written and oral descriptions are our opinions and should in no way be
construed as a guarantee of any kind as to authenticity, age, condition,
materials or any other feature of items being sold. NEAA attempts to catalog
every lot correctly and will attempt to point out any defects but will not
be responsible or liable for the correctness of the catalog or other
descriptions of the lot. In particular, conditions of art frames are not
guaranteed. We recommend prospective bidders examine all items in which they
have an interest. By placing a bid, either in person, by phone, absentee or
via the Internet, you signify that you have examined the items as fully as
you desire to or that you have chosen not to examine them. If you require
absolute certainty in all areas, and the results of your evaluation leave
uncertainty in your mind, we recommend you have an expert examine the lot
for you or do not bid on the item in question. If your item(s) are damaged
in shipping, you will need to contact SHIPPER to file a claim.
WE DO NOT GIVE REFUNDS! ALL SALES ARE FINAL! THERE WILL BE NO RETURNS.
2.The successful bidder is the highest bidder acknowledged by the
auctioneer. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event of
doubt on NEAA's part as to the validity of any bid, the auctioneer will have
the final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to
re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the
sale, NEAA's sale record is conclusive. **Note: Floor bidder's live bid will
take precedence over Internet bidders if there is a tie in bidding.
3. The purchaser assumes full responsibility for items at the fall of the
hammer. The buyer must immediately insure all items at the time of purchase.
4. NEAA'S personnel will execute phone and absentee bids in a competitive
and confidential manner. Absentee and phone bid arrangements must be made 48

offered. Incoming calls will not be accepted.

purchaser, in addition to other remedies available to it by law, including
without limitation the right to hold the purchaser liable for the total
purchase price, NEAA at its option may either (a) cancel the sale, retaining
