The Auction House, however, assumes no risk, liability or responsibility for the identification or authenticity or authorship, or weight, count, or measure of any property identified in its catalog or lists of sale. This shall include, among others, the identity of the creator, the period, culture, source of origin, as the case may be, with which the creation of any property that is identified in any publication.

In no event shall the Auction House be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty of description, genuineness, attribution, provenance or condition of the property and no statement by anyone or in the catalog, in any advertisement, or which is made at the sale, in the bill of sale or invoice, or elsewhere, shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or an assumption of liability. All bidders acknowledge their right to have made or requested full inspection of any and all properties prior to sale and agree to be charged with all matters such inspection may have disclosed or indicated. The Auction House reserves the right to withdraw any property at any time before the fall of the hammer at its sole and exclusive discretion. Upon the fall of the hammer, title to any offered lot or article will immediately pass to the highest bidder as determined at the exclusive discretion of the auctioneer. Such bidder thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility for the property sold, agrees to sign any requested confirmation of purchase, and agrees to pay the full purchase price therefore or such part upon such terms as the Auction House may require. All property shall be paid for and removed by the purchaser at his/her expense within ten (10) days of sale and, if not so removed, may be sold by the Auction House, or sent by the Auction House to a public warehouse, at the sole risk and charge of the purchaser(s), and the Auction House may pursue the purchaser(s) through civil prosecution and/ or bar the purchaser(s) from participating, directly or indirectly, as a bidder or purchaser in any future sale or sales. The Auction House will not be responsible for any loss, damage, theft, or otherwise responsible for any goods left in the Auction House's possession after ten (l0) days. If the foregoing conditions or any applicable provisions of law are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to the Auction House and the Consignor (including without limitation the right to hold the purchaser(s) liable for the bid price) the Auction House, at its option, may either cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the purchaser(s), or resell the property. In such event, the purchaser(s) shall remain liable for any deficiency in the original purchase price and will also be responsible for all costs, including warehousing, the expense of the ultimate sale, and the Auction House's commission at its regular rates together with all related and incidental charges, including legal fees. Payment is a precondition to removal. Payment by US buyers shall be by cash (at the auction venue only), credit card, check, money order, certified check or similar bank draft, or any other method approved by the Auction House. Buyers outside of the US must pay by money order or wire transfer unless they have made prior arrangements with the Auction House. Checks will not be deemed to constitute payment until cleared. The Auction House will charge interest of two percent (2%) per month on any balance remaining thirty (30) days after the day of sale. Any exceptions must be made upon the Auction House's written approval of credit prior to sale. Unless the lot is advertised and announced as "without reserve", each lot is subject to a reserve price below which the lot will not be sold. Where the Consignor is indebted to the Auction House, the Auction House may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds there from other than the Broker's Commissions, and all sales are subject to any such interest. No "buy" bids will be accepted at any time or for any purpose. Any pre-sale, aka absentee bids, must be left in writing with the Auction House prior to commencement of offer of the first lot of any sale. The Auction House's copy of any such bid shall conclusively be deemed to be the sole evidence of same, and the Auction House shall not be held responsible for any failure to execute any pre-sale bid.
