Bunting shall have no responsibility for any error or omission. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that a lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging. Any statements made by Bunting with respect to a lot whether in a condition report, Bunting catalog, or on the Bunting website, orally or in writing, are intended as statements of opinion only, are not to be relied upon as statements of fact, and do not constitute representations or warranties of any kind. All measurements and weights are approximate, rounded up to the nearest inch & provided for shipping estimation purposes only, with no guarantee of accuracy. If you require exact measurements, please use the "ask a question" button on the item page. Descriptions we make about lots may not describe all faults or restorations. Bunting undertakes no obligation to Bidders or the Buyer to examine, investigate or carry out any tests, either in sufficient depth or at all, on each lot to establish the accuracy or otherwise of any Descriptions or opinions given by Bunting, or by any person on Bunting?s behalf, whether in the Catalogue or elsewhere. Bidders and the Buyer should not suppose that such examinations, investigations, or tests have occurred. Illustrations and photographs of any lots are for identification purposes only.

It does not consider any Buyer's Premium payable or any other fees payable by the Buyer.
