A Condition Report of a given lot, if available, may be found on eBay. Condition reports are provided as a courtesy and are based solely on opinion and observation and are not a guarantee of an item's quality, as well as reflect expectations subject to the given age of the given lot. Condition reports carry no guarantee, implied or otherwise, of their correctness. Existence of a condition report for a given lot does not presume that all aspects of a particular lot have been analyzed. While every reasonable effort is made to respond to all requests for condition, due to the volume of requests, DuMouchelles cannot guarantee that all requests will receive a response. - Additional photos for a given lot may become available and will be uploaded to eBay - at DuMouchelles discretion - on the eBay page that corresponds with that lot.

DuMouchelles Art Galleries Co., and the Consignor assume no risk, liability or responsibility for the authenticity of the authorship of any property identified in the catalog. All property is sold ‘AS IS’ and neither DuMouchelles nor the Consignor make any warranties or representations of any kind or nature with respect to the property, and no statement in the catalog or made at the sale, or in the bill of sale or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed an assumption of liability or a warrant or representation as to the description, genuineness, attribution, provenance or condition of the property. DuMouchelles and the Consignor make no representation or warranty as to whether the successful bidder acquires any reproduction rights in the property. Prospective bidders should inspect or request the condition of the property before bidding to determine its condition, size and whether or not it has been repaired or restored. 2. A premium of 22% of the successful bid price will be added thereto and is payable by the purchaser as part of the total purchase price on lots in sale. 3. DuMouchelles reserves the right to withdraw all or part of any lot prior to the sale of that lot. 4. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalog. 5. Notwithstanding the preceding conditions, if within twenty-one days of the sale of any lot, the purchaser gives notice in writing to DuMouchelles that the lot so sold is a counterfeit and, if within ten days of such notice the purchaser returns the lot to DuMouchelles in the same condition as when sold, and proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the returned lot is in fact a counterfeit and that this was not indicated by a fair reading of the catalog, the sale will be rescinded and the purchase price refunded. Consignor agrees to refund DuMouchelles any payments made to Consignor for any counterfeit property returned DuMouchelles. 6. Unless the sale is advertised and announced as a sale without reserves, each lot is offered subject to reserve and the DuMouchelles may implement such reserves by bidding through its representatives on behalf of the Consignor. 7. DuMouchelles reserves 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, the auctioneer shall have sole and final discretion either to determine the purchaser or to re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the sale record of DuMouchelles shall be conclusive in all respects. DuMouchelles will not be responsible for errors or failure to execute bids. 8. If the auctioneer determines that any opening bid is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, he may reject the same and withdraw the article from the sale; and, if having acknowledged an opening bid, he decides that any advance thereafter is not of sufficient amount, he may reject the advance. 9. On the fall of the auctioneer's hammer, title to the offered lot will pass from Consignor to the purchaser, subject to all the conditions set forth herein, and purchaser thereupon a) assumes full risk and responsibility therefore, b) will sign a confirmation of purchase thereof, and c) will thereupon pay the full purchase price therefore or such part as we may require. We reserve the right to impose a late charge of 1 1/2% per month on the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with all of the conditions set forth herein. All property must be removed from our premises by the purchaser at their expense not later than 10 business days following its sale and, if it is not so removed, a handling charge of 1% of the purchase price will be payable by the purchaser per month until its removal, with a minimum of 5% for any property not so removed within 60 days after the sale. If any applicable conditions herein are not compiled with by the purchaser in addition to other remedies available to us and the Consignor by law, including without limitation the right to a) hold the purchaser liable for the total purchase price, we at our option may either cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the purchaser or b) resell the property at public auction, and the purchaser shall be liable for any deficiency, costs, including handling charges, the expenses of both sales, or commission on both sales at option, payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until we have collected funds represented by checks, or, in the case of bank or cashier's checks, we have confirmed their authenticity. As between DuMouchelles and Consignor, if the successful bidder does not pay for the property, collection procedures shall be the responsibility of Consignor and not DuMouchelles. 10. Unless exempted by law from the payment thereof, the purchaser will be required to pay Michigan state retail sales taxes at a rate of 6%, or any taxes that are applicable at this date. Unless exemption from such taxes is established to the satisfaction of DuMouchelles, any purchaser claiming an exemption will be required to pay the tax to DuMouchelles and seek a refund. 11. Purchasers not intending to take possession or use the property purchased by them at the sale within the State of Michigan must make arrangements with a shipping company for shipment outside the State of Michigan at the purchaser's risk and expense prior to the bidding. Otherwise, Michigan state taxes of 6% will be added to the bill.
