The Service will provide the pertinent information for each Auction, including date, start of auction, each Lot to be sold, and location. Certain Auctions on the Service may also be contemporaneously conducted live in-person, while other Auctions may be exclusively conducted on the Service. All Auctions conducted by Activity Auctions, and these Auction Terms and Conditions, are governed by the laws of the State of California. Activity Auctions maintains a bond on file with the California Secretary of State as required by California Civil Code §1812.600. 2. Registration.

Online Bidders will submit a completed electronic form through the Service at activityauctions.com, where they also may establish a Member Account. Each Auction requires a separate registration; Bidders with a Member Account may register for Auctions via their account. (a) Information Required.

When a Lot at the Auction goes live, Members are free to place bids under their Member Account on such Lot (i) if an Auction conducted both in-person and online, until the individual conducting the sale for Activity Auctions (the "Auctioneer") determines that bidding on such Lot has closed, or (ii) if an online-only Auction, in accordance with the parameters set forth on the Service for such Lot. As bids are placed, Activity Auctions reserves the right to authorize your credit card for any bid amount placed. If an authorization was made on a Bid and you are subsequently outbid, Activity Auctions will release that authorization. (b) Notifications. If you are placing Bids via the Service, each time you are outbid Activity Auctions will send you an email message notification advising you of such. If you are the Winning Bidder for a given Lot, Activity auctions will send you an email message confirmation. (c) Bid Conditions. Activity Auctions reserves the right to accept or decline any Bid. Bids must be for an entire Lot. Each Lot constitutes a separate sale. All Bids are per Lot unless otherwise announced at a live sale by the Auctioneer. All winning Bids are subject to a Buyer's Premium (as defined herein). Live auction Lots will be sold in their numbered sequence unless the Auctioneer directs otherwise. Activity Auctions may cancel any Lot and have it removed from an Auction prior to acceptance of a winning Bid. In the event a Lot is removed from an Auction, notice will be provided (i) on the Service, (ii) via email to Bidders who placed their Bid on such Lot via the Service, and (iii) if the Auction is an in-person Auction, at the physical location of the Auction. In such instance of Lot removal from an Auction, any Bids previously placed on such Lot prior to its removal from the Auction shall be cancelled, and Activity Auctions will not receive any further Bids on such Lot. (d) Purchase Obligations. In connection with making Bids, Bidders agree that the registered Bidder with the highest Bid at the close of the Auction will be obligated to purchase the Lot. By bidding on any Lot, you agree to purchase the Lot at the price you have Bid. You agree that should you Bid on a Lot and that Bid is the winning Bid, that you are bound to pay Activity Auctions the winning bid amount for the Lot. All sales are final and winners cannot cancel. No exceptions will be made. You further acknowledge and agree that the winning Bid you submit for each Lot is subject to: (i) additional fees, including the Buyer's Premium and Online Service Fee (if applicable), and (ii) additional costs, including taxes, shipping (if applicable), storage (if applicable), and customs (if applicable), and that you are obligated to pay such fees and costs in connection with your winning Bid. (e) Conduct. It is unlawful and illegal for Bidders to collude, pool, or agree with another Bidder to pay less than the fair value for Lot(s). Bidders participating in both live and online auctions acknowledge that the law provides for substantial penalties for those who violate these provisions. (f) Disputes Between Bidders. For live auctions the Auctioneer will have final discretion in the event that any dispute should arise between Bidders. The Auctioneer will determine the successful Bidder, cancel the sale, or re-offer and resell the Lot or Lots in dispute. Activity Auctions will have final discretion to resolve any disputes arising after the sale and in online auctions. If any dispute arises our sale record is conclusive. (g) Online Bids. Our online auction software is provided "As Is" and "As Available." High speed internet access is required to access the Service effectively. The Service is subject to limitations, delays and other problems inherent in the use of the Internet and electronic communications. Activity Auctions is not responsible for any delays, delivery failures, or other damage resulting from such problems. (h) Reserve. All of the Lots offered at Auction are subject to a confidential minimum price acceptable to the Consignor at which the Lot will be sold (the "Reserve"). Activity Auctions is not obligated to sell the Lot unless the Reserve is met. A Lot or Lots may be withdrawn from an Auction if there is no Bid equal to or above the Reserve. During a live auction the auctioneer may open any Lot by bidding on behalf of the Consignor and may bid up to the amount of the Reserve, by placing successive or consecutive bids for a Lot or Bids in response to other Bidders. Online sales may do the same by employing the use of a starting Bid which will commence bidding at or below the reserve price agreed to by the Consignor. 4. Winning Bids. At the close of the Auction, the highest Bid for a Lot will be considered the "Hammer Price", and the successful Bidder shall be informed by email (the "Winning Bidder" or the "Purchaser"). The Winning Bidder is responsible for paying to Activity Auctions the Hammer Price, Buyer's Premium, and all applicable taxes, plus shipping costs (if applicable), insurance costs while in transit (for items not picked up in person), Online Service Fee (if the Winning Bidder placed the Bid online via the Service) and any applicable customs and/or duties (such amounts collectively, the "Total Purchase Price"). Upon conclusion of the Auction, we will provide the Winning Bidder with an accounting statement of the Total Purchase Price by email. (a) Risk of Loss; Release of Lots. Upon establishment of the Hammer Price for the purchase of the Lot (the "Sale"), the Winning Bidder immediately thereafter assumes full responsibility for all risk of loss or damage (including, without limitation, liability for or damage to frames or glass covering prints, paintings, photos, or other works) and will immediately pay the Total Purchase Price or such part as Activity Auctions may require. All Sales are final. Lots will be released to you (or the shipping company, as applicable) upon our receipt of payment of the Total Purchase Price in full from you. (b) Buyer's Premium. Winning Bidder agrees that in addition to the Hammer Price, the Lot will be subject to an additional charge on the Hammer Price as part of the total purchase price (the "Buyer's Premium"). The Buyer's Premium is as follows: Lots with a Hammer Price of up to $100.00. For individual Lots with a Hammer Price of up to and including one hundred United States Dollars and zero cents ($100.00), the Buyer's Premium is twenty-five United States Dollars and zero cents ($20.00). Lots with a Hammer Price of $100.01 up to and including $200,000.00 .

Example : The Hammer Price on a Lot is two hundred and fifty thousand United States Dollars ($250,000.00). The Winning Bidder would pay a total Buyer's Premium of fifty thousand United States Dollars ($50,000.00) on such Lot, calculated as follows: 20% of the first $200,000.00, i.e. fifty thousand United States Dollars ($50,000.00). (c) Online Service Fee. For all Lots where the Winning Bid is submitted online via the Service, an additional three percent (3%) of the Hammer Price (the "Online Service Fee") will be added to the Buyer's Premium amount detailed immediately above. Example : The Hammer Price on a Lot is two hundred and fifty thousand United States Dollars ($250,000.00), with the highest Bid being placed online via the Service. The Winning Bidder would pay, in addition to the Buyer's Premium, an Online Service Fee of seven thousand five hundred United States Dollars ($7,500.00). (d) Taxes.
