These Conditions of Sale, as so changed or supplemented, and Authorship Warranty contain all the terms on which LUXUR and the seller contract with the buyer. . . 2 . LUXUR as Agent . LUXUR acts as an agent for the seller, unless otherwise indicated in this catalogue or at the time of auction. On occasion, LUXUR may own a lot directly, in which case we will act in a principal capacity as a consignor, or a company affiliated with LUXUR may own a lot, in which case we will act as agent for that company, or LUXUR or an affiliated company may have a legal, beneficial or financial interest in a lot as a secured creditor or otherwise . . 3 . Catalogue Descriptions and Condition of Property . Lots are sold subject to the Authorship Warranty, as described in the catalogue (unless such description is changed or supplemented, as provided in Paragraph 1 above) and in the condition that they are in at the time of the sale on the following basis: . (a) The knowledge of LUXUR in relation to each lot is partially dependent on information provided to us by the seller, and LUXUR is not able to and does not carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers acknowledge this fact and accept responsibility for carrying out inspections and investigations to satisfy themselves as to the lots in which they may be interested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we shall exercise such reasonable care when making express statements in catalogue descriptions or condition reports as is consistent with our role as auctioneer of lots in this sale and in light of (i) the information provided to us by the seller; (ii) scholarship and technical knowledge and (iii) the generally accepted opinions of relevant experts, in each case at the time any such express statement is made. . (b) Each lot offered for sale at LUXUR is available for inspection by prospective buyers prior to the auction. LUXUR accepts bids on lots on the basis that bidders (and independent experts on their behalf, to the extent appropriate given the nature and value of the lot and the bidders own expertise) have fully inspected the lot prior to bidding and have satisfied themselves as to both the condition of the lot and the accuracy of its description. . (c) Prospective buyers acknowledge that many lots are of an age and type which means that they are not in perfect condition. As a courtesy to clients, LUXUR may prepare and provide condition reports to assist prospective buyers when they are inspecting lots. Catalogue descriptions and condition reports may make reference to particular imperfections of a lot, but bidders should note that lots may have other faults not expressly referred to in the catalogue or condition report. All dimensions are approximate. Illustrations are for identification purposes only and cannot be used as precise indications of size or to convey full information as to the actual condition of lots. . (d) Information provided to prospective buyers in respect of any lot, including any pre-sale estimate, whether written or oral, and information in any catalogue, condition or other report, commentary or valuation, is not a representation of fact but rather a statement of opinion held by LUXUR . Any pre-sale estimate may not be relied on as a prediction of the selling price or value of the lot and may be revised from time to time by LUXUR in our absolute discretion. Neither LUXUR nor any of our affiliated companies shall be liable for any difference between the pre-sale estimates for any lot and the actual price achieved at auction or upon resale. . . 4 . Bidding at Auction . (a) LUXUR has absolute discretion to refuse admission to the auction or participation in the sale. All bidders must register prior to bidding, supplying such information and references as required by LUXUR . . (b) As a convenience to bidders who cannot attend the auction in person, LUXUR may, if so instructed by the bidder, execute written absentee bids on a bidders behalf. Absentee bidders are required to submit bids on the Absentee Bid Form, a copy of which is printed in this catalogue or otherwise available from LUXUR . Bids must be placed in the currency of the sale. The bidder must clearly indicate the maximum amount he or she intends to bid, excluding the buyers premium and any applicable sales or use taxes. The auctioneer will not accept an instruction to execute an absentee bid which does not indicate such maximum bid. Our staff will attempt to execute an absentee bid at the lowest possible price taking into account the reserve and other bidders. Any absentee bid must be received at least 24 hours in advance of the sale. In the event of identical bids, the earliest bid received will take precedence. . (c) Telephone bidders are required to submit bids on the Telephone Bid Form, a copy of which is printed in this catalogue or otherwise available from LUXUR . Telephone bidding is available for lots whose low pre-sale estimate is at least $1000. LUXUR reserves the right to require written confirmation of a successful bid from a telephone bidder by fax or otherwise immediately after such bid is accepted by the auctioneer. Telephone bids may be recorded and, by bidding on the telephone, a bidder consents to the recording of the conversation. . (d) Bidders may participate in an auction by bidding online through LUXUR s online live bidding platform available on our website at https://www.liveauctioneers.com/auctioneer/8283/luxur-fine-art-auction/. To bid online, bidders must register online at least 24 hours before the start of the auction. Online bidding is subject to approval by LUXUR s bid department in our sole discretion. As noted in Paragraph 3 above, LUXUR encourages online bidders to inspect prior to the auction any lot(s) on which they may bid, and condition reports are available upon request. Bidding in a live auction can progress quickly. To ensure that online bidders are not placed at a disadvantage when bidding against bidders in the room or on the telephone, the procedure for placing bids through LUXUR s online bidding platform is a one-step process. By clicking the bid button on the computer screen, a bidder submits a bid. Online bidders acknowledge and agree that bids so submitted are final and may not under any circumstances be amended or retracted. During a live auction, when bids other than online bids are placed, they will be displayed on the online bidders computer screen as floor, phone or paddle no bids. Floor bids include bids made by the auctioneer to protect the reserve. In the event that an online bid and a floor or phone bid are identical, the floor or phone bid will take precedence. The next bidding increment is shown for the convenience of online bidders under the bid button. The bidding increment available to online bidders may vary from the next bid actually taken by the auctioneer, as the auctioneer may deviate from LUXUR s standard increments at any time at his or her discretion, but an online bidder may only place a bid in a whole bidding increment. LUXUR s bidding increments are published in the Guide for Prospective Buyers. . (e) When making a bid, whether in person, by absentee bid, on the telephone or online, a bidder accepts personal liability to pay the purchase price, as described more fully in Paragraph 6 (a) below, plus all other applicable charges unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with LUXUR before the commencement of the auction that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to LUXUR and that we will only look to the principal for such payment. . (f) By registering and participating in the auction, whether in person, by absentee bid, on the telephone or online, bidders represent, warrant and confirm that (i) unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing with LUXUR prior to the auction, they are bidding on their own behalf and not on behalf of anyone else (ii) they will be paying the Purchase Price from their own funds (iii) that their participation in the auction and payment of the Purchase Price is lawful and shall not breach any applicable sanctions laws, and (iv) any bids placed by them, or on their behalf, are not the product of any collusive or other anti-competitive agreement and are otherwise consistent with federal and state antitrust law, and are not in breach of any applicable law, Government sanctions and other regulatory measures in force from time to time. . (g) Arranging absentee, telephone and online bids is a free service provided by LUXUR to prospective buyers. While we undertake to exercise reasonable care in undertaking such activity, we cannot accept liability for failure to execute such bids except where such failure is caused by our willful misconduct. . (h) Employees of LUXUR and our affiliated companies, including the auctioneer, may bid at the auction by placing absentee bids so long as they do not know the reserve when submitting their absentee bids and otherwise comply with our employee bidding procedures. . . 5 . Conduct of the Auction . (a) Unless otherwise indicated by the symbol each lot is offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum selling price agreed by LUXUR with the seller. The reserve will not exceed the low pre-sale estimate at the time of the auction. . (b)The auctioneer has discretion at any time to refuse any bid, withdraw any lot, re-offer a lot for sale (including after the fall of the hammer) if he or she believes there may be error or dispute and take such other action as he or she deems reasonably appropriate. LUXUR shall have no liability whatsoever for any such action taken by the auctioneer. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. The auctioneer may accept bids made by a company affiliated with LUXUR provided that the bidder does not know the reserve placed on the lot. . (c) The auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding at levels and in increments he or she considers appropriate. In order to protect the reserve on any lot, the auctioneer may place one or more bids on behalf of the seller up to the reserve without indicating he or she is doing so, either by placing consecutive bids or bids in response to other bidders. If a lot is offered without reserve, unless there are already competing absentee bids, the auctioneer will generally open the bidding at 50% of the lots low pre-sale estimate. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer will proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized and will then advance the bidding from that amount. Absentee bids on no reserve lots will, in the absence of a higher bid, be executed at approximately 50% of the low pre-sale estimate or at the amount of the bid if it is less than 50% of the low pre-sale estimate. If there is no bid whatsoever on a no reserve lot, the auctioneer may deem such lot unsold. . (d) The sale will be conducted in US dollars and payment is due in US dollars. For the benefit of international clients, pre-sale estimates in the auction catalogue may be shown in pounds sterling and/or euros and, if so, will reflect approximate exchange rates. Accordingly, estimates in pounds sterling or euros should be treated only as a guide. If a currency converter is operated during the sale, it is done so as a courtesy to bidders, and LUXUR accepts no responsibility for any errors in currency conversion calculation. . (e) Subject to the auctioneers reasonable discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of the hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the seller and the buyer. Risk and responsibility for the lot passes to the buyer as set forth in Paragraph 7 below. . (f) If a lot is not sold, the auctioneer will announce that it has been passed, withdrawn, returned to owner or bought-in. . (g) Any post-auction sale of lots offered at auction shall incorporate these Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty as if sold in the auction. . . 6 . Purchase Price and Payment . (a) The buyer agrees to pay us, in addition to the hammer price of the lot, the buyers premium and any applicable sales tax (the Purchase Price). The buyers premium is 25% of the hammer price up to and including $99,999, 20% of the portion of the hammer price above $3,000 up to and including $999,999 and 15% of the portion of the hammer price above $1,000,000 LUXUR reserves the right to pay from our compensation an introductory commission to one or more third parties for assisting in the sale of property offered and sold at auction. .

LUXUR will only accept valid resale certificates from US dealers as proof of exemption from sales tax. All foreign buyers should contact the Client Accounting Department about tax matters. .

Checks or bankers drafts drawn by third parties will not be accepted. . Please reference the relevant sale and lot number. . (d) As a courtesy to clients, LUXUR will accept American Express, Visa and MasterCard to pay for invoices of $20,000 or less. . (e) Title in a purchased lot will not pass until LUXUR has received the Purchase Price for that lot in cleared funds.
