The Galleries have been authorized by the consignor to retain, as part of remuneration, the 22.50% premium payable by the purchaser. 3. Property auctioned by the Galleries is often of some age. Prospective bidders should personally inspect such property to determine its condition and whether it has been repaired or restored. Any information provided by the Galleries or its employees is for the convenience of bidders only and should not be relied upon. ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS" AND NEITHER THE GALLERIES NOR THE CONSIGNOR MAKES ANY WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY OR ITS VALUE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR WHETHER THE PURCHASER ACQUIRES ANY COPYRIGHTS. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE GALLERIES OR THE CONSIGNOR BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTNESS OF DESCRIPTION, GENUINENESS, ATTRIBUTION, PROVENANCE, AUTHENTICITY, AUTHORSHIP, COMPLETENESS, CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY OR ESTIMATE OF VALUE. NO STATEMENT (ORAL OR WRITTEN) IN THE CATALOGUE, AT THE SALE, OR ELSEWHERE SHALL BE DEEMED SUCH A WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, OR ANY ASSUMPTION OF RESPONSIBILITY. HOWEVER, notwithstanding this condition and subject to the further provisions of this paragraph as set forth below, property may be returned by the purchaser, the sale rescinded and the purchase price refunded under the following conditions: (1) printed books which prove upon collation to be defective in text or illustration (provided such defects are not indicated within the catalogue or at the sale), and (2) autographs which prove not to be genuine (if this can be demonstrated and if not indicated in the catalogue or at the sale). Printed books are not returnable for defects not affecting text and illustration, including, but not limited to, lack of half-titles, lists of plates, binder's instructions, errata, blanks, or advertisements.

We reserve the right to reject a bid from any bidder. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event the auctioneer doubts the validity of any bid, the auctioneer shall have the sole and 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, our sales records shall be conclusive in every respect. 10. Unless the Sale is advertised as a sale without reserve, each lot is offered subject to a reserve. MOST LOTS OFFERED BY THE GALLERIES HAVE A MINIMUM RESERVE OF ONE-HALF THE PRESALE LOW ESTIMATE OR $25.00, WHICHEVER IS GREATER. The Galleries do not accept reserves of more than the low estimate nor allow consignors to bid on their own items. 11.

As a service to clients unable to attend the Sale, we will accept absentee bids without charge in advance of the sale by telephone, or in writing on bid forms available at the rear of the Galleries' catalogues. All bids must state the highest bid price the bidder is willing to pay. "Buy" bids are not accepted. Please check bid sheets carefully to make sure you have the correct lot numbers and that the sheet is legible.
