THE STUDIO SALE #2 (PART 2)

1. Conditions of Sale. All lots are sold AS IS, WHERE IS, and with all faults. Neither the Auction Company (The Fine Art Specialist LLC) nor the consignor makes any guarantees, warranties, or representations (express or implied) regarding authenticity, authorship, origin, condition, age, size, or value. Bidders are encouraged to request condition reports and ask questions before the auction. 2. Bidding & Auctioneer's Discretion. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the buyer. In the event of a tie bid, a dispute between bidders, or doubt as to the validity of any bid, the auctioneer has sole discretion to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the lot. The auctioneer's record of sale is conclusive. 3. Registration & Absentee Bidding. All bidders must register in advance and provide complete billing information. The Auction Company may, at its sole discretion, require presentation of government-issued photo identification, credit references, or other verification as a condition of bidder registration or participation. The Auction Company reserves the right to decline registration or bidding privileges to any individual or entity. The Auction Company may accept in-house absentee bids. Absentee bids are executed competitively as though the bidder were present. Online absentee and live bidding are facilitated by LiveAuctioneers. Please see LiveAuctioneers' site for their terms and procedures. If a bidder leaves absentee bids with both the Auction Company and LiveAuctioneers, it is solely the bidder's responsibility to manage or cancel duplicate bids. The Auction Company will not be held responsible for executing duplicate or conflicting bids. 4. Buyer's Premium & Payment. A 25% buyer's premium will be added to the hammer price of each lot. Payment may be made by cash, approved check, wire transfer, or credit card (credit cards may incur additional fees). Payment must be completed no later than 7 days after the auction. Late payments may result in storage charges and/or cancellation of sale. Invoices generated through LiveAuctioneers will be automatically billed to the card on file unless prior arrangements are made. The Auction Company reserves the right to hold Property purchased by ACH and personal check until the payment has cleared the bank. 5. Title, Risk, and Removal. Title to each lot passes when the auctioneer announces it as sold. Thereafter, all risk of loss, damage, or theft is borne by the buyer. The Auction Company does not provide in-house shipping services, but will provide a list of third-party shippers upon request. Packing, handling, and shipping arrangements are solely the buyer's responsibility and expense. If the Auction Company or its staff assists in packing, handling, or transport, such assistance is at the buyer's sole risk and without liability to the Auction Company. 6. Storage Fees. All purchases must be paid for and removed in a timely manner. Storage fees of $5 per lot per business day (or $25 per lot per week, whichever is greater) will be charged for items left more than 30 days after the auction. Items left beyond 45 days may be re-consigned to a future auction without further notice, and any proceeds, less fees and costs, may be applied toward the outstanding balance. 7. Default and Cancellation. If any buyer fails to pay the full balance of their invoice within the required timeframe, the Auction Company reserves the right, after 30 days from the auction date and without further notice, to cancel the sale of any unpaid or partially paid lots. In such event, any funds already paid toward the invoice may be retained by the Auction Company as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. The lot(s) may be re-offered in a future sale without notice to the buyer. The buyer remains liable for any deficiency, handling charges, storage fees, and all costs of resale or collection. 8. Taxes. All purchases are subject to applicable state and local sales tax unless the buyer provides a valid resale certificate prior to purchase. 9. Rescission Policy. The authenticity of authorship (as defined in the catalog heading) is warranted for 14 days after the auction to the original buyer of record. If a lot is determined to be misattributed, the sale may be rescinded, provided the lot is returned in the same condition as at the time of sale and accompanied by a written opinion of a qualified expert recognized in the relevant field and acceptable to the Auction Company. The buyer's sole remedy in such a case is a refund of the purchase price and buyer's premium. No incidental or consequential damages, including shipping costs or expert fees, will be considered. 10. Online Bidding Disclaimer. The LiveAuctioneers bidding portal software is a third-party service. The Auction Company is not responsible for errors, technical failures, missed bids, or connectivity issues on any third-party platform. Participation through such platforms is at the bidder's own risk. 11. Terms of Guarantee and Catalog Terminology.
