The Lundy Collection Part 1

TERMS OF SALE We advise all prospective bidders to read the Terms & Conditions of the Auction Sale before bidding in an auction by Dixon's Auction at Crumpton. Please also read the auction description as additional information per auction is added there. By placing a bid the bidder is bound by those Terms and Conditions of the Sale, as amended by any oral announcement or posted notices, which together form the contract of the sale between the successful bidder (purchaser), Dixon's Auction at Crumpton and the seller (consignor) of the lot(s). The bidder is also bound to the terms in place at Liveauctioneers.com found at https://www.liveauctioneers.com/termsandconditions. 1. All property is sold "As Is, Where Is", and All Sales are Final. There are no bid reversals or refunds. 1a. We test all gemstones with a Presidium Gem Tester. Unfortunately, gem testers will not differentiate natural gemstones from their synthetic counterparts; this being the case we cannot guarantee natural stones unless we specifically state that it is natural in the listing. Many gemstones' properties overlap and could potentially be one of many varieties of gemstones. We do our best, based on the tester readings, to determine whether or not the item is a specific gemstone; however we are not GIA certified gemologists. 1b. Prospective bidders have the opportunity to examine items of interest (See 2.) on the preview days listed on the auction information page. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy but they are a matter of opinion and Dixon's Auction at Crumpton is not liable for any omissions or errors. 1c. Glossary of Terms "Manner of" - a work of art done in the style of the artist but which, in our opinion, is from a later date or by another hand. "After" - a copy of a work of art by the artist, which could be done during the artist's lifetime or thereafter. "Attributed to" - a work of art which, in our opinion, is likely to be by the artist. Note that this does not supersede the fact that all items are sold as-is. Artist's name in title - if we list an artist's name in the title without qualification, it is our opinion that the work of art was executed by that artist. Note that this does not supersede the fact that all items are sold as-is. "Style" - any item which is in the style of, but not created by or during the period of, the qualified term. "Style" could be used for a variety of items, for example a Chippendale-style dresser would be a dresser in the Chippendale style but created later, or a Picasso-style painting could be any painting created in the artist's style at any time.

BIDDER REGISTRATION: Bidder must be 18 years of age or older, and is required to register for each auction. To participate in this Auction prospective bidders must register & provide identification information to establish that you are a valid bidder: At the time of registration, we collect information about you to verify who you are before you can bid. Bidders must submit information found to be current, complete, and accurate for proper identification. On our behalf, LiveAuctioneers collects credit card information to ensure that you are a qualified buyer. Bidder is responsible for security of his/her bidding number/user name and password, and any and all bids placed under the assigned number/ID. LiveAuctioneers should be notified immediately if the bidder believes his/her bid number, account and/or password have been compromised. There is no cost to register for an auction (An authorization will be charged when you initially register to validate your credit card.) The authorization is never deducted from your account. It verifies that the card being placed on file is legitimate. The billing information, including address will be validated through this authorization. If the Billing information on the card doesn't match your shipping information the card may be rejected for possible fraud activity. Dixon's Auction at Crumpton, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to terminate any registration, deny any person for any reason permission or access to bid, to reject any and all bids, and to suspend or ban bidders from bidding. Bidder registration is not transferable or assignable. Bid Status: Dixon's Auction may refuse your bid for any reason, especially if we feel it may be fraudulent activity. If you feel we have declined a bid or blocked you mistakenly you may reach out to us to explain your situation so that we can further evaluate its validity. We recommend that when bidding, place your bids early so that you will know that your bid will be accepted. Don't wait until the final minute before the item closes to try to bid. In this scenario for example if you had been approved for a max high bid per item and the bidding is already over that amount. If you bid in excess of your max bid approval, your bid will be set to pending, a notification is sent to us, and it is nearly impossible to act upon that in less than 60 seconds. If you know you will be bidding higher than the amount that you were approved for contact us prior to the item ending and we can make a manual change. 4. All items offered online will have a minimum starting bid as displayed on the online catalog. Online bids lower than minimum will not be accepted. 5. CATALOG ERRORS & OMISSIONS: If a description does not match a picture in a lot, the photos take precedence. If you find an error please contact the Dixon's Auction at Crumpton and we will attempt to rectify it. All items are sold on an "as is, where is" basis, with all faults. In the event an item was listed in error or an item can't be located during pick up for any reason, the bidder agrees that their maximum recourse is a full refund of the item in question and that all other items bid on remain binding. By bidding you are acknowledging agreement with the terms above. Do not bid unless you agree to all of these terms. The bidder is responsible for knowing which item is being bid on. If the bidder is unsure, they should inquire or not bid. When becoming the winning bidder at auction you have effected a contract and will be expected to pay for items in which you were evidenced to be the successful bidder. Auctioneer will not honor "mistakes". 6. REVIEWING YOUR BIDS: During an auction you can check the status of your bids at any time by logging into your LiveAuctioneers account. Please be careful when placing bids. Placing a bid is a two step process. When you click the bid button it will pull up a window verifying that you want to place that bid. If you want to place the next bid increment that the computer is asking for you can do that. If you desire to increase the amount of your bid this screen will allow you to bid a higher amount. Ensure that you type in the correct amount. You will be shown a screen that includes the buyer's premium to show the amount of your inclusive total bid. Please be extremely careful as Dixon's Auction at Crumpton may not be able to correct accidental bids, especially if not given ample notice. If you have an issue with an absentee bid please contact LiveAuctioneers support if you are unable to retract it yourself prior to the auction (bids cannot be retracted within 2 hours of the auction going live). We have a staff member in the office during most online auctions. You are responsible for the bids that you place. Note that no bids can be withdrawn after the auction for any reason. 7. PROGRESSION OF THE AUCTION: Auctions are typically uploaded to the LiveAuctioneers platform 2-3 weeks before the auction is scheduled to end. Each auction will have a scheduled time that the first item will begin live bidding. Each item must finish with a fair warning given before starting bidding on the next item. Please place bids asap so that yours is not missed before moving to the next item as all bids must be approved by the clerk/auctioneer. 8. PAYING FOR YOUR PURCHASES: There is no cost to register for an auction. We generally process credit card transactions immediately after the Auction. LiveAuctioneers will charge the credit card that was placed on file at registration for the purchase price of your won items including Sales Tax, processing fee, and Buyers Premium. If your credit card is declined you will be required to provide another form of payment prior to picking up items. We reserve the right to require payment via wire transfer from buyers not known to us. If we suspect any fraudulent activity we reserve the right to hold these items until we can determine the validity of the purchase. 9. BIDDING NOTIFICATIONS: You can choose to be notified by email during the auction if you have been outbid. Please note that outbid notifications may not be received by your email provider within the final minutes of an item ending in enough time to bid so please do jot be reliant on this. You can watch each item end. If you are the high bidder on an item the item will be highlighted in green in the lot description page. If the lot changes from green to red it means that you have been outbid and would need to bid again at a higher bid. The item will not change back to green until you have surpassed the high bid that the back bidder placed. 10. RESERVE: Seldom are items sold with Reserve. If an item is being sold with a reserve, it will be clearly marked and identified. For items sold with a 'reserve', you will be required to pay a minimum amount in order to win the item. 11.
