PRIDHAM'S IS CLOSED FROM **DECEMBER 23RD TO JANUARY 2ND. ALL INQUIRIES WILL BE ANSWERED BEFORE THE SALE, UPON OUR RETURN ON JANUARY 3RD, THANK YOU. ** PRIDHAM'S TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE - Please take the time to read, thank you. 1. The term "Auctioneer" means Pridham's Auction House Inc. (Pridham's). 2. Each lot is sold "AS IS" and "WHERE IS". Sales are finals. 3. The descriptions are provided to help move along the process on auction day. No warranty regarding the descriptions, age or condition is made or implied. Additionally, under the Conditions of Sale applicable to the sale of any lot, buyers must satisfy themselves as to each aspect of the quality of the lot, including and without limitation, its authorship, attribution, condition, provenance, authenticity, age, suitability, and origin. Lots are sold on an 'as is' basis, but the actual condition of the lot may not be as good as indicated by its outward appearance. Parts may have been replaced or renewed and lots may not be authentic or of satisfactory quality. Any statement in relation to a lot is merely an expression of opinion of the seller or Pridham's and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the lot. Please do not hesitate to contact us for a condition report or HIGH REZ photos. 1-877-533-5877 or info@pridhams.ca. 4. The Auctioneer does its very best to point out condition issues. You must examine each piece carefully (or request a condition report, extra photos); sales will not be set aside on grounds of condition, or of real or imagined missed description. The condition reports are not prepared by a professional conservator or engineer. 5. The Auctioneer may accept and submit absentee, telephone, and online bids, to be executed by an employee of the Auctioneer, pursuant to the instructions of prospective purchasers not in attendance at the sale. 6. Registration: all bidders are required to submit full name, address, and a telephone number. Information is used pursuant to the "Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act". A verified credit card is required via Live Auctioneers Account Settings. 7. There are applicable taxes except for out-of-country buyers who require shipping of their purchases. 8. Unless exempted by law, the buyer must pay applicable taxes on the total purchase price. The buyer's premium is added before the applicable taxes. Pridham's does not divide a buyer's invoice between two or more people on auction day. 9. Unless exempted by law, the buyer is required to pay HST on the total purchase price including the buyer's premium. For international buyers, taxes are not applicable when purchases are shipped out of Canada. For items shipped out of the province, the buyer is required to PAY TAXES as per their provincial tax status, whether it is HST, GST and PST. Includes Quebec buyers, there is GST AND QST. 10. The Auctioneer has the right to withdraw or add to the items as listed in any printed catalogue or listing or promoted on the internet. 11. The Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot from the sale at any time, to divide any lot or to combine any two or more lots at his sole discretion, all without notice. 12. The Auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid and to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion. The auctioneer reserves the right not to accept and to reject any bid. Without limitation, any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance over the previous bid may not be recognized. 13. When the Auctioneer says "Sold!" it is a contractual agreement between the Auctioneer and the buyer. All auctions are also audio-recorded. 14. The highest bidder accepted by the Auctioneer for any lot shall be the buyer and such buyer shall forthwith assume full risk and responsibility for the lot and must comply with such other Conditions of Sale as may be applicable. If any dispute should arise between bidders, the Auctioneer shall have the absolute discretion to designate the buyer or, at his option, to withdraw any disputed lot from the sale, or to re-offer it at the same or a subsequent sale. The auctioneer's decision in all cases is final. 15. The buyer shall pay an item in full and to the satisfaction of the Auctioneer; failing to do so may result in the cancellation of the sale, with or without re-offering the item for sale. 16. Payments must be made in full within 5 business days after receiving the final invoice from Pridham's (or Live Auctioneers). 17. Pridham's is not responsible for any damages or injuries under any circumstances. 18. If you are not able to pick-up your purchase at 2615 Lancaster Road (#9), Ottawa, Pridham's can deliver (smalls only, and art, for free) your unpacked paid purchases, at the buyer's risk to UPS #112 (St Laurent Blvd, Ottawa). Pridham's will share your information, not your credit card number, with UPS. Once your purchase is with UPS, you will liaise directly with them for packing, insuring, shipping, and payment. Please take note that UPS charges are with the amount of packing required, size, weight, destination, etc. and NOT with the hammer price. Please ask for a shipping QUOTE before the auction (until FRIDAY NOON BEFORE THE SALE), if you are concerned. Sales will not be cancelled due to shipping costs. EMAIL FOR QUOTE: store112@theupsstore.ca If you prefer to use another carrier (not UPS), please take note that Pridham's does not pack and insure - but we would be pleased to liaise with the shipper of your choice. For larger items (ex. furniture), please call us (1-877-533-5877) to discuss a pick-up schedule (within 5 business days) or carrier shipping. A list of suggested shippers is available. We can not store furniture for weeks, please have a plan of action before buying large pieces, or a storage fee may apply. 19. The Auctioneer acts solely as agent for the seller and makes no representation as to any attribute of, title to, or restriction affecting the articles in the sale. Without limitation, the buyer understands that any item bought may be affected by the provisions of the Cultural Property Export Act. 20. DISCLAIMER: Ivory, tortoise shell and other "animal" items, including certain trees such as rosewood, are restricted from export out of Canada due to protection under CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). Pridham's will not provide shipping or CITES application services. The successful buyer has to pick-up the item in person. Shall the buyer decide to take the item across a border after picking it up, the buyer takes full responsibility for obtaining proper exporting and importing documents from both countries: EXPORT IS AT THE BUYER'S RISK. Pridham's supports the protection of all wildlife. Please do NOT HESITATE to contact Pridham's if you have questions, thank you. Toll Free / Sans Frais: 1-877-533-5877 info@pridhams.ca
