All auctions conducted by Candlelit International Auctions are governed by the following terms and conditions. Please read them carefully before registering or placing any bids. By registering to bid or placing a bid on any item, you acknowledge and agree to be legally bound by these terms and conditions. If you do not understand or agree to any part of these terms, we kindly ask that you refrain from bidding. Bidding constitutes a legally binding contract. You affirm that you have either examined the items, waived your right to examine them, or appointed an agent to examine them on your behalf. If you are the highest bidder at the close of the lot, you are legally obligated to purchase the item. Please bid responsibly. Sales Tax All online purchases are subject to Florida state and county sales tax, regardless of the buyer's location. The total applicable sales tax is 7% (6% state tax plus 1% county surtax), calculated on the hammer price. Sales tax will not be charged if a valid tax exemption certificate has been uploaded to your LiveAuctioneers account and verified prior to bidding. We are required by law to collect sales tax if the certificate is not validated. Autopay Policy If payment has not been arranged within three (3) calendar days of receiving your invoice, Candlelit International Auctions reserves the right to automatically charge the credit card used at registration for the full amount due, including buyer's premium, tax, and applicable shipping charges. Buyer's Premium All successful bids are subject to a buyer's premium, applied to the hammer price, as follows: 30% for hammer prices up to $50,000.00 25% for hammer prices between $50,000.01 and $100,000.00 20% for hammer prices exceeding $100,000.01 The buyer's premium is calculated per lot and aggregated on your invoice total. Premiums are non-negotiable unless otherwise stated in writing by Candlelit International Auctions. Authenticity Disclaimer All property is sold "as is, where is, with all faults." Candlelit International Auctions makes no warranties or representations, express or implied, as to the authenticity, authorship, age, origin, condition, or provenance of any item.

Returns will only be considered at the sole discretion of Candlelit International Auctions and must be requested in writing within three (3) days of receiving the item.
