All buyers agree to comply with any and all domestic and international restrictions and licensing on the trade of protected species as a condition of the sale.

SALES TAX: 21) Online purchases from Vintage Accents Auctions may be subject to sales tax. As a result of recent and ongoing legislation, most U.S. states now require businesses to collect and remit sales tax on online purchases made from their states. Regardless of where sellers are located, they are required to charge tax on internet orders if your state mandates it. Each state has different requirements and thresholds on what is taxed and how much. Sales tax will not apply to purchases made by bidders with valid tax exemption certificates. If you have a valid tax exemption certificate, upload it to your Liveauctioneer account to ensure your purchases are not subject to tax. SHIPPING / PICK-UP / STORAGE FEES: 22) On completion of payment VAA will help coordinate shipping. Please contact VAA with any questions. 23) If either someone else other than the buyer, or a shipper other than one represented on the invoice, will be picking up auction items, the buyer must inform us in advance so we may release the items. 24) Shipments will be insured for the full purchase price unless other coverage is requested by the buyer. Any damage or delivery issues (regardless of any assistance offered by VAA) are between the buyer and the shipper. Items with gesso surfaces, frames, mirrors, furniture, etc. that exhibit loss/detachment due to normal handling (no obvious signs of neglect or abuse) are exempt from damage claims. 25) VAA will not alter any catalog descriptions or declare less than the full purchase price on any international customs paper- work. All international customs documents and costs are the responsibility of the buyer. 26) All items must be picked up from our auction facility within 30 days of the sale unless prior arrangements have been made.

Items unsold or unclaimed by 180 days from the date of this agreement will become the sole property of VAA and may be sold or otherwise disposed of without reporting or liability of any sort to the buyer. 27) The inability to choose an acceptable shipping option is NOT a reason for non-payment of an item?s full purchase price. 28) Attention online bidders: Any items won during auction will not be available for pick-up until the second business day after the auction.
