Sales Conditions: Professional Appraisers & Liquidators exercises the utmost care and caution in accurately describing and identifying all items listed. Condition reports & descriptions are provided as a courtesy to the prospective bidder, and are our OPINION only. Although we make every effort to ensure accuracy, Professional Appraisers and Liquidators makes no warranty, express or implied, as to the authenticity, authorship, period, value, medium or condition of any item sold. Buyers are advised to carefully examine all items offered for sale at auction and to satisfy themselves regarding authenticity, authorship, genuineness, attribution, provenance, weight, count, measure, period, value, culture, source of origin, medium or condition before bidding or purchasing. By placing a bid on any item (lot) in a sale conducted by Professional Appraisers & Liquidators Auction Gallery, either in person, by phone, absentee bid or via the Internet, buyer/bidder signifies that he or she has examined the item as fully as he or she desires or deems necessary or prudent or that he or she has chosen, for whatever reason, not to examine it. Bidders who bid from offsite or via the Internet, acknowledge that they may not be able to inspect an item as well as if they had examined it in person prior to the auction. If a buyer/bidder requires absolute certainty in all areas of authenticity, and the results of his or her evaluation leave any uncertainty in his or her mind whatsoever, we strongly recommend that the prospective buyer/bidder have an expert examine the lot on his/her behalf or, if that is not possible, DO NOT BID ON THE ITEM(S) IN QUESTION. All measurements are approximate. All items are sold AS IS / WHERE IS whether specified or not. We make no warranty of title, warrant, or merchantability or representation of any kind with regards to the items. GOLD, STERLING SILVER, DIAMONDS - We DO GUARANTEE all gold and Sterling Silver content to be as stated and we guarantee all diamonds to be genuine. If we state an item is Sterling Silver, Diamond or 10K, 14K, 18K gold or Platinum, we WILL GUARANTEE it to be so. However, we are not jewelers or gemologists, so we are unable to guarantee the color or clarity of the stone. Carats are measured to the best of our ability and may vary slightly. We do not have a refractor, so we are unable to test gemstones other than diamonds to see whether or not they are synthetic, we can only give our OPINION on Gemstones other than diamonds, unless an Appraisal accompanies the item, so no guarantee is given for gemstones. Catalog descriptions & auctioneer's statements are only an opinion. There are no conditional sales. All sales are absolutely final (except the guranantee on Gold, Diamonds, and Sterling) and the successful bidder, whether by internet bid, telephone bid, advanced written bid, or in-house bidding during an auction, the bidder shall be obligated to complete the transaction within 2 hours after the close of auction. We suggest that prospective bidders take advantage of the ample time provided during auction preview to determine the condition of offered lots. All auction sales are final on the fall of the Auctioneer's hammer to the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer. If there is a tie between an on-line bidder and a floor bidder, the tie goes to the floor. Once the auctioneer declares an item "sold" , the purchaser becomes responsible for the purchased property and their credit card on file will be charged. The purchaser assumes full risk and responsibility for said property, including costs & expenses of handling or shipping. The consignor is not responsible for loss or damage of said property after an item has been declared "sold". Any sales made, whether at live auction or privately between purchaser & Auctioneer or Sales Representative, shall be subject to all of the terms & conditions stipulated herein. Payment will not be deemed to have been paid in full until credit card payment has cleared. Any comment or statement made by the auctioneer or other person associated with Professional Appraisers and Liquidators concerning the authenticity, authorship, period, value, medium or condition of any item should be taken only as an opinion of the person making the statement and in no way constitutes a warranty, express or implied, concerning the item sold. You are advised to determine all of these for yourself. Ample time is allotted during preview to examine the merchandise. We advise you to take advantage of this opportunity. Any statement made by the auctioneer during the auction supersedes written advertising or other written matter. There will be no refunds or returns (except as stated otherwise in the above paragraph regarding the authenticity of diamonds, or gold & silver content). All sales are final. The final decision regarding returns or refunds is at the sole discretion of the auctioneer. If a refund is offered, the purchaser will have no further recourse against Professional Appraisers & Liquidators and they shall not be liable for damages of any nature suffered by the purchaser.
