CONDITION INFORMATION: Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any property in which they are interested, before the auction takes place and are SOLELY responsible for ensuring all descriptions are accurate BEFORE bidding. If a bidder is unable to view an item in person, they are responsible for obtaining/requesting a condition report and/or additional photographs prior to bidding to determine an article's condition, size and any other pertinent information. You are also welcomed to send someone on your behalf if you are not local to inspect for you. We strive to be fair and forthright with our descriptions and condition reports, however bidders must acknowledge that antique items, guns and artwork often show normal signs of use and wear, which might not be specified in a condition report. If you have very particular taste, it is advisable that you inspect items in person, as your definition of condition may be more exacting than ours. All statements by us in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied on as statement of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by us of any kind. References in the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. All property is sold "AS IS, WHERE IS" and neither Paul Arsenault Auctioneers nor the consignor makes any warranties or representations of any kind or nature with respect to property or its value, and in no event shall be responsible for the correctness of description, genuineness, attribution, provenance, authenticity, authorship, completeness, condition of property or estimate of value. No statement (oral or written) in this catalog, at the sale, or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty or representation, or any assumption of responsibility. All measurements are approximate. Antiques, by the very nature of their age, have wear that reflects their years of use. As a result, honest wear earned from use is to be expected and is sometimes the proof that an item is an antique. Normal wear will not be listed. Buyers who would like to know the fine points regarding condition should call. DISPUTES/LATE FEES: Disputes will be filed by end of day Friday following an auction for unpaid invoices.
