If a buyer gives us notice within 14 days of the sale that an item that was purchased is counterfeit and provides a written report from an authority that demonstrates that the item is indeed counterfeit and that a fair reading of the catalogue description and the auctioneer's statements at the time of the sale did not indicate this, then Bert Gallery Studio Sales will rescind the sale and refund the purchase price to the buyer. This guarantee is made only to the original buyer (i.e. registered bidder) and does not extend to any subsequent purchasers. In any event, any liability that Bert Gallery Studio Sales has for such a sale is limited to the purchase price of the item sold.
