In any dispute between Neal Auction Company and the bidder or buyer regarding authorship of a work of fine art, rescission of the sale and refund of the purchase price paid shall be the buyer?s sole recourse or remedy, if any is available. Neal Auction Company (and its owners, officers, directors, representatives, agents, insurers, and employees) shall not be liable, obligated, or responsible for any damages (including compensatory, general, incidental, consequential, exemplary, or special damages), non-pecuniary losses, costs, expenses, injury, mental anguish, lost profits, attorneys? fees, or any other monetary, declaratory, equitable, or injunctive relief or remedy. The buyer WAIVES and RELEASES any and all such damages, relief, and remedies. AUCTION BIDDING AND SALE 1. The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in determining the highest and best bid on each lot. The auctioneer may decide that any original bid is not commensurate with the value of the lot offered, or that any advance thereafter is not of sufficient amount, and the auctioneer may reject or refuse to recognize that bid or advance. 2. At the fall of the auctioneer?s hammer, the bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer, whether in person or absentee, thereupon assumes the obligation to pay for the offered lot, and shall pay the full purchase price for the lot, which shall include the hammer price, plus the buyer?s premium, and all applicable taxes, charges, and costs. 3. Title to the offered lot shall pass to the bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer upon payment of the full purchase price for the lot, which shall include the hammer price, plus the buyer?s premium, and all applicable taxes, charges, and costs. The buyer thereupon assumes full risk, obligation, and responsibility for the lot. 4. At any time before the sale of a lot, Neal Auction Company reserves the right to withdraw the lot or any part of the lot, to combine lots, or to separate items within a lot. 5. No lots will be released before the end of the auction. 6. If the buyer fails to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale, Neal Auction Company reserves the right to (a) hold such defaulting buyer liable, obligated, and responsible for the total amount due and to commence legal proceedings to recover the entire amount along with interest, reasonable attorneys? fees, expenses, and costs; (b) charge outstanding amounts to the buyer?s credit card; (c) apply any payments to outstanding amounts chosen by Neal Auction Company notwithstanding the instructions of the buyer; (d) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payment made by the buyer; (e) resell the lot without reserve at public auction, online-only auction, or privately on seven calendar days? notice to the buyer; (f) enforce specific performance of the sale; (g) require a deposit in future auctions; (h) exclude the buyer from future auctions or bidding on particular lots; (i) exercise the rights and remedies of a person holding security and/or privilege over property in Neal Auction Company?s possession, whether by pledge, security interest or any other mechanism, to the full extent allowed under Louisiana law, and Neal Auction Company may hold the property of the buyer as collateral security for the buyer?s obligations; (j) and/or take such other actions allowed by law in Neal Auction Company?s sole discretion. If Neal Auction Company resells the lot, the defaulting buyer shall be liable, obligated, and responsible for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and any damages, including but not limited to all costs and expenses of both sales, such as, by way of example only, storage, handling, insurance, repairs, illustrations, consultations, examinations, moving, shipping, promotions, advertising, reasonable attorneys? fees, commissions, and incidental damages. 7. Virtually all lots offered have been subject to use over a considerable period of time. No mention of cracks, scratches, chips, tears, breaks, weaknesses, or any damages or wear will be included in oral, written, or electronic statements or descriptions in the catalogue, website, correspondence, advertising, or literature. Condition reports may be provided upon request, but condition reports may not mention all cracks, scratches, chips, defects, hazards, tears, breaks, weaknesses, or other damages or wear. Neal Auction Company makes no representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of any information or description in a condition report or elsewhere, whether oral, written, electronic, or online. Neal Auction Company reserves the right to decline to provide a condition report for any specific lot, at its sole discretion. 8. Neither high nor low estimates in a catalogue, website, advertising, correspondence, literature, or elsewhere should be relied on as a representation, prediction, appraisal, guarantee, or warranty that a particular lot will sell for a particular price or that a particular lot has a particular value. 9. Neal Auction Company has absolute discretion to admit a bidder to the auction premises, to expel a bidder from the auction premises, or to refuse a bidder from participating in the auction. 10. Neal Auction Company and its auctioneers shall not be liable, obligated, or responsible for failure to recognize or execute any bids for any reason whatsoever, or for no reason.

Interfering with the auction in any way is prohibited. 12. Bid rigging is strictly prohibited. Any agreement, understanding, or arrangement not to bid against another or otherwise to dampen the bidding is unlawful.

Canvassing or solicitating on the auction premises is prohibited. 14. The auctioneer has the sole discretion as to the increments of bidding, the recognition of any bid, the acceptance of the final bid, and resolving any disputes among bidders. 15. Neal Auction Company represents the consignors only and is not acting as agent or representative of bidders or buyers. The payment of the buyer?s premium by the buyer does not indicate a dual agency relationship. Neal Auction Company is to be paid a fee or commission by the consignor pursuant to a separate written agreement between the consignor and Neal Auction Company. The consignor is the seller of the lot sold. Neal Auction Company is the consignment agent or representative, not the seller. 16. The successful bidder is obligated to pay the purchase price in full unless Neal Auction Company has consented in writing at the time of the bidder?s registration that the bidder is acting as an agent on behalf of an identified person and that said principal is obligated to pay the purchase price in full.

PLEASE VISIT NEALAUCTION.COM TO REQUEST AND VIEW CONDITION REPORTS, REGISTER TO BID LIVE ONLINE, AND SUBMIT ABSENTEE/TELEPHONE BIDS 25. Lots may be offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum hammer price below which the lot will not be sold, for the protection of the consignor. Such reserve will not exceed the low estimate for the lot. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the consignor, auctioneer, or an absentee bidder that is below the reserve. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the consignor, auctioneer, or absentee bidder up to the amount of the reserve, by placing consecutive bids or by bidding in response to other bidders. Neal Auction Company may sell a lot at a hammer price below the reserve at its discretion, subject to its agreement with the consignor. ABSENTEE/TELEPHONE/ONLINE BIDS 1. All absentee bids and/or telephone bids must be received by Neal Auction Company by 5 p.m. Central Time the Thursday prior to the auction. 2. All arrangements for bidding should be made as early as possible. Telephone bidding will be taken at the discretion of Neal Auction Company. Each lot must have a minimum low estimate of $500 for telephone bidding. Absentee bids are accepted for any lots regardless of estimate, at the discretion of Neal Auction Company. 3. Neal Auction Company intends to endeavor to protect the confidentiality of absentee/telephone bids. In the event that the identity of absentee/telephone bidders or buyers or of the amounts of absentee/ telephone bids is disclosed, Neal Auction Company shall not be liable, obligated, or responsible for such disclosure, and each bidder and buyer WAIVES and RELEASES Neal Auction Company (and its owners, officers, directors, representatives, insurers, agents, and employees) from any claims arising out of such disclosure. 4. Neal Auction Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to require that any advance bids be accompanied by a security deposit. 5. Neal Auction Company shall not be liable, obligated, or responsible for any failure, design flaw, error, act, omission, or negligence of third party sites or their agents. Bidders WAIVE and RELEASE any rights to damages and equitable, declaratory, and injunctive relief and remedies arising therefrom. 6. Prior to placing any absentee, telephone, or online bid, all bidders are required to complete the applicable Registration Form prior to such bidding. 7. In the event of ambiguity, uncertainty, or discrepancy, the lot number and not the lot description on any bid will be deemed to be the lot on which the bid is made. 8. If more than one absentee bid on a particular lot is received with the same maximum bid amount, and that bid amount is the highest and best bid for the lot, the lot will be sold to the bidder whose absentee bid was accepted first by Neal Auction Company after receiving it. If a bid placed on a lot by a bidder who is physically present at the auction is identical to an absentee bid for the lot and is the highest and best bid for the lot, the lot will be sold to the person who is physically present at the auction. If a bid placed on a lot by a bidder who is present at the auction (in person or by telephone) is identical to an absentee bid for the lot and is the highest and best bid for the lot, the lot will be sold to the person who is present at the auction (in person or by telephone). 9. Neal Auction Company reserves the right to record any telephone bidding or conversation relating to said bidding, or any part thereof, and to publish said recordings. By participating in telephone bidding, the bidder consents to such recording and publication, notwithstanding the laws or regulations of the state or jurisdiction of the bidder. PAYMENT 1. The successful bidder (except a successful online bidder) shall pay a buyer?s premium in the amount of 25% of the hammer price on each lot up to and including $200,000, plus 15% of the hammer price greater than $200,000. For payments made by cash, check, or wire transfer (except by online bidders) within 15 calendar days of the auction, the buyer?s premium will be discounted to 22%. 2. The successful online bidder shall pay a buyer?s premium in the amount of 28% of the hammer price on each lot. A discount for payments made by cash, check, or wire transfer is not available for purchases made by online bidders. 3. In the event of any dispute, the Neal Auction Company sale record is conclusive. 4. Unless exempt by law, the buyer will be required to pay Louisiana and local taxes, and, if applicable, any federal luxury or other tax, on the total purchase price. 5. Documentation of tax exemption must be provided upon registration. Billing name and address of a bidder must agree with that on the sales tax exemption certificate. 6. Payment in full of the purchase price must be made by the successful bidder in U.S. Dollars within 15 calendar days of the auction.

HANDLING AND STORAGE Unless other arrangements are made and confirmed in writing by Neal Auction Company, all lots must be removed within 15 calendar days of the auction. On the first business day following that time period, any lots remaining in the Neal Auction Company gallery may be turned over to a storage facility, at Neal Auction Company?s discretion. The buyer will be responsible for all handling and storage charges. Handling charges shall be a minimum of $50 per lot. Storage costs shall be a minimum charge of $50 per month per lot.

Neal Auction Company and the consignor make no representation or warranty that the buyer of a lot will acquire any copyright or other intellectual property right or interest in the lot. IMPORT/EXPORT Lots made of or incorporating endangered or protected wildlife materials, irrespective of age or amount of material, may require a license or certificate authorizing export from the United States as well as relevant authorizations from the country of import. It is the responsibility of the bidder or buyer to determine and be satisfied that the requirements of any applicable laws and regulations applying to the transportation, whether international or interstate, can be met before bidding. The inability of a buyer to transport lots containing endangered or protected wildlife material is not a basis for cancellation or rescission of the sale or discount of the purchase price. Although licenses may be obtainable to export certain types of endangered species, some types may not be exported at all, and other types may not be resold in certain states in the United States. Neal Auction Company cannot assist the bidder or buyer in attempting to obtain the appropriate licenses and/or certificates, and bidders and buyers can be given no assurance that an export license or certificate can be obtained. Each bidder should verify with an attorney or qualified shipping company if uncertain as to whether a lot is subject to export/import license and certificate requirements and any other restrictions or prohibitions on the interstate transportation or exportation from the United States. Neal Auction Company (and its owners, officers, directors, representatives, insurers, agents, and employees) shall not be liable, obligated, or responsible for any oral, written, or electronic advice given or representations made by it or by any shipping company, legal counsel, or other person. Buyers WAIVE and RELEASE any and all claims against Neal Auction Company (and its owners, officers, directors, representatives, insurers, agents, and employees) relating to such advice and representations.

Every bidder and buyer agrees to submit to jurisdiction and venue in federal or state court in Orleans Parish, Louisiana, waives all objections or challenges to such jurisdiction or venue, and waives any rights to jurisdiction or venue in any other forum. Any dispute between the bidder or buyer and Neal Auction Company (and/or its owners, directors, officers, representatives, insurers, and/or employees) and/or the consignor of any lot shall be governed by the law of the State of Louisiana, notwithstanding any conflicts of laws principles.
