The property will be offered by us as agent for the consignor(s). By bidding at auction, whether in person or by agent, by written or any other means, the buyer agrees to be bound by the following conditions of sale:
1. ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD “AS IS” AND ALL SALES ARE FINAL. All goods are described to the best of our knowledge; however, neither Dawson’s Assoc. Auctions Inc., nor it’s consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations express or implied with respect to such property as to the physical condition, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, medium, period, origin, or estimated value of any lot sold, unless and excepting as provided for in a specific Limited Sale (date) Guarantee published in the sale catalogue. The absence of any reference to the condition of property does not imply perfect or imperfect condition. Except for specific Limited Sale (date) Guarantee, no statement anywhere, whether oral or written, whether made in the catalogue or advertisement, bill of sale, gallery posting, announcement, or remarks by staff or the auctioneer, shall be considered a warranty, representation, or assumption of liability. All measurements and weights are approximate.
2. PROPERTY IS OPEN TO THOROUGH PUBLIC INSPECTION, and it is the prospective bidder’s responsibility to inspect the property before bidding to determine their level of interest.
3. We reserve the RIGHT TO WITHDRAW ANY PROPERTY before sale.
4. We reserve the RIGHT TO REJECT ANY BID. If the auctioneer decides an opening bid is below value of the lot offered, the auctioneer may reject that bid and withdraw the lot from sale. If the auctioneer acknowledges an opening bid, and later decides that any advance bid is insufficient, he may reject that advance.
5. SOME LOTS ARE OFFERED SUBJECT TO RESERVE, which is a confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. We may implement such reserves by bidding on behalf of the consignor.
6. The HIGHEST BIDDER ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE AUCTIONEER WILL BE THE PURCHASER. In the event of a dispute between the bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale, or to re-offer and resell the lot in dispute. If a dispute arises after the sale our sale record is conclusive. Although in our discretion we will execute absentee bidding, including written bids, telephone bidding, and internet bidding as a convenience to clients who are not present auctions, we are not responsible for any errors or omissions in that connection.
7.
