Unless otherwise stated in writing, the West Palm Beach, Florida Warehouse, located at 4421 Annette Street, West Palm Beach, Florida 33409, is for the viewing and picking up of auction items.
2. Admission is free, but persons who wish to attend a Viewing may be asked to present identification.

a) Touch Lots or other exhibit items, walls, or cases;
b) Photograph Lots;
c) Eat, drink, or smoke;
d) Bring animals;
e)Bring firearms, weapons and/or ammunition, which are strictly prohibited on the property as a “gun-free zone??; or
f) Other actions forbidden by Us.
5. We shall not bear any liability whatsoever concerning the differences in the condition of the Lots between the time of a Viewing and delivery.
6. All items damaged by the Participant during the Pre-auction Viewing are the Participants’ responsibility. The Participant will be required to pay the amount of the intermediate price of the estimates, plus the Buyer’s Premium of thirty percent (30.0%) to the House of Craven.
7. Before the sale, prospective Bidders or their agents should inspect the Property before bidding to determine its condition, size and whether or not it has been repaired or restored. Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the Property and the matters referred to in the Catalogue entry. Condition reports, photos and video or digital images are provided as a courtesy and should not be used as a substitute for viewing the items in person. All statements made in the Catalogue or in the condition report or made orally or in writing elsewhere are statements of opinion and are not to be relied on as statements of fact. House of Craven and the Consignor assume no risk, liability, or responsibility for the authenticity of the authorship of any Property identified in this Catalogue. All Property is sold “As is, Where is?? and neither House of Craven nor the Consignor make any warranties or representations of any kind or nature with respect to the Property, and no statement in the Catalogue or made at the sale, or in the bill of sale or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed an assumption of liability or warranty or representation as to the description, genuineness, attribution, provenance or condition of the Property. House of Craven and the Consignor make no representations as to whether Buyer acquires any reproduction rights in the Property.
B. EXTENT OF LIABILITY FOR CONDITION.
1. All items are available for examination prior to sale as defined in Section II.A., Page 2: “Viewing??. Bidders are encouraged to examine all items in which they have an interest. House of Craven tries to accurately to describe the items being sold, but all Property offered for sale is strictly “As is, Where is??, and with all faults. It is the Bidder’s responsibility to determine the exact condition and authenticity of each item. No statement whether written or oral, made in the Catalogue, advertisement, invoice, gallery posting, announcement or comment by the auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty or assumption of liability.
2. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the Lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear, defect or effects of aging. Many items are of an age or nature, which preclude their being in perfect condition, and we will make reference to damage and/or restoration in the Catalogue or by other means of condition report when we find such defects. We provide this information for guidance only and the description of “being in good condition?? or absence of such reference does not imply that an item is free from any defects or restoration nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. The condition of the Lots (with or without frame, general condition, defects) described on the Catalogue is not complete. Please note that we are unable to get rid of misprints completely. Prospective Buyers, therefore, are strongly advised to examine personally any Lot in which they are interested at pre-sale Viewing (See Section II.A., Page 2: “Viewing??). Prospective Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of Lots and the matters referred to in the Catalogue description and making bid on the basis of their own judgment. We will not accept any cancellation of sales contract because of the difference between Catalogue description and real state of the Lot.
3. Unless noted, all items have some amount of acceptable wear, scratches, nicks, etc. Estimates are of market value and are designed to help Buyers gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium. By bidding, you are entering a contract, and you are agreeing that you have either closely examined the item(s), have chosen not to examine them, or have hired an independent agent to examine the item(s) for you.
4. Lots are sold “As Is, Where Is?? and the Buyer agrees to the following:
a. All information in the Catalogue concerning authenticity is guaranteed for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of sale. Within that time, prior to payment to the Consignor of the work, the Buyer may submit, at his own expense, an opinion in writing from a recognized expert on the work at issue regarding authenticity. In the event the work is judged inauthentic by the expert, the work may be returned in the same condition as at time of sale and the Buyer’s full purchase price will be refunded. Refunds shall not include costs of transportation, insurance, or other expenses that may have been incurred by the Buyer. It is the Buyer’s responsibility to make payment in a timely fashion such, that the Property can be released and inspected within these thirty (30) day timeframe and sign a nondisclosure agreement (NDA).
b. House of Craven is not responsible for any typographical errors, wear on furniture, flakes, surface scratches, or manufacturing flaws in glass or ceramics. No warranty is made regarding the condition of artwork frames.

Please note that any estimate given, orally or in writing, is a matter of our opinion only at that moment and is not an assurance in relation to the price the work for consignment will eventually fetch.
h. With respect to “Reserve Price,?? Prospective Sellers can set a Reserve Price in United States Dollars (USD), below which the Lots cannot be sold. The consignment commission will be deducted on basis of the Reserve Price from the hammer price.

We shall in no way be liable for any accidents to the Lot (including destruction, loss, theft, damage, or soiling) after the time of delivery (which shall mean the time at which we deliver the Lot to the Successful Bidder, to his agent or messenger, or to a carrier at us). Furthermore, we shall not be liable for accidents even when we select the shipping company or packages the Lot in accordance with the Successful Bidder’s wishes pursuant to instructions in the Shipping Instruction Form, regardless of the suitability of the shipping company or packaging. The Successful Bidder shall under its own responsibility and at its own expense insure the delivery of the Lot and packaging, shipping and handling. If, for any reason a purchased Lot cannot be delivered in the same condition as at the time of sale, or should any purchased Lot be stolen, mis-delivered or lost prior to delivery, House of Craven shall not be liable for any amount in excess of that paid by the Buyer. For any electrical items, House of Craven neither expresses nor implies a warranty as to the functionality or the safety of the item.
