It is the buyer's sole responsibility to inspect and/or preview all lots prior to auction and/or to request a condition report prior to sale. Items sold are often of some age and as such may have associated wear. If you are unsure of the condition, please refrain from bidding as ALL lots are sold AS IS WHERE IS and by placing a bid in the auction, the bidder is accepting item in its current as sold condition. 7a. Chandeliers and light fixtures offered may be of some age. We strongly recommend a licensed electrician inspect any light fixtures (lamps, chandelier, etc.) prior to having them installed. Gallery 63 accepts no responsibility for the wiring or lack of wiring of any light fixture. 7b. Watches may be subject to aftermarket enhancements.

Notice to internet and absentee bidders: The Auctioneer has full discretion in the event of a tie bid and will recognize the bid that he/she sees first and has the right to prefer bids from in person bidders on the floor. Therefore, it is possible for an item to sell to a floor bidder at the exact bid left by an internet bidder. For example, if an internet bidder leaves a bid of $1000, but the auctioneers receives a floor bid for $1000, the auctioneer may recognize the floor bidder and the item would sell at that bid to the floor bidder if there are no advances to the bid. 10. Auction catalog items are described to the best of our ability and knowledge and are subject to change. Gallery 63 is not responsible for errors of description. The auctioneer reserves the right to make verbal corrections at the time of sale. 11.Upon the fall of the hammer (the auctioneer saying ?sold?), the title and responsibility for each item or lot passes to the winning bidder/purchaser. In the case of a disputed bid, the auctioneer, at his or her sole discretion, will determine the successful bidder or may re-offer and resell the article in dispute. 12. Submitting any bid on any item constitutes bidder?s acknowledgment and acceptance of all terms and conditions of sale. In the event a bidder refuses to comply with any terms of sale, including failure to pay for any item, Gallery 63 has the right to pursue any and all legal remedies available under the laws of the State of Georgia. 13. We cannot guarantee the authenticity of any item especially Chinese or Asian art. These are often if not usually copied from pre-existing models or examples, the dating of such objects is often very difficult and opinions vary from one expert to the next. Subsequently, we strongly encourage all prospective buyers to carefully examine and inspect any and all items they wish to bid on before the auction. Gallery 63 is open daily Monday-Friday and any prospective bidder is well within their rights to bring an expert to inspect the piece. 13a. Sometimes jewelry will be sold at "attributed to" or "in the manner of". "Attributed to" means that the item bears a signature and is consistent with other pieces we have sold, however it comes with no guarantees of authenticity. "In the manner of" means that the item is in the style of an artist, but not signed. 13b. All purses are sold as authentic. 14. We do not guarantee the accuracy of our descriptions. Experts may disagree. We are not experts in all subject matters. All descriptions are done to our best effort. Buyers are encouraged to ask questions and preview any lots they are interested in and make their own informed decision. No refunds will be given due to errors in lot descriptions or titles. Should Gallery 63 agree to issue a refund on any purchased inventory, it will be given exclusively in the form of an in store credit minus a 20% restocking fee. I have read and understand these Terms of Sale. I ACCEPT them in their entirety as a condition to bid at Gallery 63.
