Barridoff Galleries shall have all of the rights of the consignor to pursue all rights and remedies hereunder, and Barridoff Galleries and its consignors shall be entitled to all of their costs, including reasonable attorney?s fees, in enforcing their rights and remedies hereunder.

Disputes on the grounds of authenticity subsequent to sale must be made within 15 days of the auction and must be supported by the written testimony of at least two recognized experts in the field with respect to the specific artist involved. Only if the disputed article is in the same condition as when sold will a rescission of the sale be considered. In the event Barridoff Galleries agrees to rescind the sale, which decision shall be at Barridoff Galleries? sole discretion, an amount up to the purchase price, plus sales tax if appropriate, may be refunded to the winning bidder. Such rescission and refund is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedies which might otherwise be available as a matter of law. In no event shall Barridoff Galleries? or its consignor?s liability exceed the purchase price of the item sold. 8. Estimates. The high and low estimate given for an item are solely a guideline based upon Barridoff Galleries? approximation as to the range within which an item may be sold for at auction. An estimate is not a statement of value or selling price of an item and Barridoff Galleries makes no guarantee, representation, or agreement as to the value or selling price of an item more than the Galleries? opinion of the item?s possible auction price. 9. All purchases are subject to Maine sales tax (5.5%) unless the bidder is located out-of-state and shipping is arranged by Barridoff Galleries or the bidder possesses a sales tax exemption number either from or acceptable to Maine Revenue Services and presents to Barridoff Galleries a valid signed certificate acceptable to Maine Revenue Services stating that Barridoff Galleries does not have to withhold Maine sales tax on the purchase. Maine sales tax is applicable to the full purchase price, which includes the hammer price plus the premium under paragraph 4. 10.

FRAMES If a frame is thought to be original to the work of art or of some other particular interest based upon its history, value or beauty, it may be illustrated; but the illustration is in no way to be considered a guarantee of same and nothing about the frame is included in any catalog entry. OLD MASTERS All works by Old Masters, including school, manner and other related information including dates are now by policy offered as attributions because, in the opinion of Barridoff Galleries, there has been too little or no known opportunity for a consensus, extensive research or singular expertise or because such opportunities often result in significant changes and varied opinions. However, all attributions are, in the opinion of Barridoff Galleries, appropriate as cataloged. CONDITION REPORTS Condition reports may be in the catalog and are available upon request. However, information provided by Barridoff Galleries pertaining to the condition of any auction lot is for the bidder to use or interpret as the bidder sees fit. As more fully described in paragraph 3, a condition report is in no way a guarantee, nor should it be considered an expert opinion. All prints (etchings, lithographs, silkscreens, etc.), to the best of Barridoff Galleries? knowledge, have full margins unless otherwise noted. All lots should be examined by potential bidders. Because few lots are examined by Barridoff Galleries out of their frames, potential bidders should assume that condition reports only include areas that are clearly visible unless otherwise stated. SIZE Unless otherwise noted, the size of each item is measured height by width in inches and does not include the frame. Sizes are approximate. The term ?actual? means the actual size of the item without any frame or other appendage, ?framed? means the size of the item including the frame and ?sight? means the visible portion of the item when the actual size is covered or obscured and unable to be determined. The terms regarding information in paragraph 3 apply to information regarding sizes provided by Barridoff Galleries. LIVE PHONE BIDDING AND ONLINE BIDDING Phone bids will be allowed on a limited first-come, first-served basis. Phone bidders must make arrangements in advance.

Bidders should be mindful of these limitations if choosing to bid by phone. Bidding may also be available online in real time at barridoff.com, bidsquare.com, invaluable.com, and liveauctioneers.com. Bidders are advised to familiarize themselves with the rules and procedures provided thereon prior to bidding.
