Terms & Conditions
Loew-Demers Auctions, Inc.
Conditions Of Sale-Please Read
Loew-Demers Auctions, Inc. acts solely as an agent for various owners and consignors. It exercises care in describing all items listed and uses judgment in attributing authorship, but offers no guarantee regarding authenticity, condition, or description. We have attempted to clearly outline the conditions which will indicate how various circumstances will be handled.
1. Some of the lots in this sale are offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and Loew-Demers Auctions, Inc. below which the lot will not be sold. In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed the estimates listed. A representative of Loew-Demers will execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor. In any event and whether or not a lot is subject to a reserve, the auctioneer may reject any bid or raise not commensurate with the value of such lot.
2. All property is sold as is, and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor makes any warranties or representations of any kind or nature with respect to the property, and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability.
3. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the Buyer. In the event of any
dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has the absolute discretion to determine which bidder
is the successful Buyer or to re-offer the item in dispute and resell it. In the event of any
dispute after the sale, Loew-Demers record of the final sale price and of the successful buyer
shall be conclusive. Loew-Demers reserves the right to sell items which are not listed in the
catalogue.
4. If the purchaser breaches any of its obligations under these Conditions of Sale, including
its obligation to pay in full the purchase price of all items for which it was the highest successful
bidder, Loew-Demers may exercise all of its rights and remedies under the law without
limitation.
5. In no event will Loew-Demers be liable to any purchaser with respect to any item for
amounts exceeding the purchase price actually paid for such item.
6. Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. Loew-Demers may recommend shippers
upon request.
7. All purchases are subject to a Massachusetts Sales tax of 6.25% unless a valid tax
exception certificate is on file.
8. Loew-Demers make no warranty that the purchaser will acquire any copyrights or other
reproduction rights to the lot sold.
9. The auctioneer may reject nominal bids. If an item fails to open for 25-30% of it's low
estimate the auctioneer may decide to pass the lot and the lot may not be re-offered.
10. Phone, Fax or mail-in absentee bids will be accepted up to 24 hours before the sale. Visa or
MasterCard numbers will be required in many cases. We will execute bids for you competitively.
It is possible to buy items by absentee bid for less than your top bid. Every effort is made to
execute all absentee bids however, you must know this is not a perfect system. In the event of
an error or omission the auctioneer shall not be held liable.
11. All items are to be paid for the day of the auction in US Funds. A bill will be sent to
Absentee bidders directly after the auction. This bill is due immediately upon receipt. Loew-Demers
reserve the right to hold merchandise purchased by personal check until the check
clears the bank or for whatever time the auctioneer deems necessary to protect his interest.
12. Payment is due upon receipt. If the buyer's invoice is not paid in full within 15 days of
the auction, Loew-Demers has the right and will charge the buyer's credit card of record on file
for the total invoice amount. Interest on all balances will be paid at a rate of 1 1/2% monthly
(18% APR) effective 15 days from the date of purchase/auction. Should the buyer not comply
with any of the Conditions of Sale, the damage recoverable from the defaulter shall include the
loss arising on the resale of the lot, together with the charges and expenses in respect of both
sales and as well as any legal or collection fees incurred. Loew-Demers shall hold any money
deposited in partial payment on account of any liability of the defaulted item.
13. We reserve the right to withdraw any property before sale and shall have no liability
whatsoever for such withdrawal.
14. Title of the property passes upon the fall of the auctioneers hammer. It will then be the
responsibility of the buyer to make full payment prior to removing the goods from the premises.
It is both the buyers risk and expense for removal and must be made at the conclusion of the
sale unless other arrangements have been made.
15. At the discretion of the auctioneer, phone bidding may be arranged on more expensive
items. In order to make arrangements to bid by phone you must contact our office in advance.
There are always a limited number of phone lines so it is important that if you wish to bid by
phone that arrangements are made as early as possible. You may want to use a "cover-me-bid" in
the event that you can not be reached by phone. Your "cover-me-bid" would only
be used if you are unable to be reached. You may place "cover-me-bids" at your discretion.
They are not mandatory but simply a safety device.
16. IF you are registering or executing a bid for someone else under your number please keep
in mind that you are responsible for the bid whether the person you are executing or registering
for pays or fails to pay.
17. Buyers premium is 17.5%. If you settle your account by credit card the buyers premium is 17.5% of
the final bid price which will be applied to each lot sold to be paid by the buyer as part of the
purchase price.
18. Any legal disputes arising from this auction shall be settled in the court system in the
state of Delaware.
19. Bidding on article(s) indicates your acceptance of all of the above terms.
