1. Bidding on any lot automatically constitutes agreement and acceptance of the terms and conditions. 2. Items offered are part of a webcast-online auction at Luther Auctions gallery. Items are offered in numerical order. Live Auctioneers time remaining calculations are not accurate. Please do not rely on these times for bidding. Absentee bids left on Live Auctioneers ARE NOT the same as absentee bids left with the auction house directly. They are executed from a proxy computer terminal in the room against other Internet bidders. Other competitive bids include other internet bidders on other platforms, phone bidders and absentee bids left with Luther Auctions directly. Live Auctioneers does not provide the ability for auction houses to incorporate absentee bids from Live Auctioneers with absentee bids left directly with the auction staff. Thus tie bids may occur between Live Auctioneers absentee bidders and other bidders. In the event of a tie bid, the auctioneer has sole discretion to award the lot to the high bidder of his or her choosing- most often the floor bidder. 3. Some of the lots in this sale may be offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and Luther Auctions, below which the lot will not be sold. In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed the estimates listed. The auctioneer will execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor. In any event, and whether or not a lot is subject to a reserve, the auctioneer may reject any bid or raise not commensurate with the value of such lot. 4. Except as provided in paragraph 3 above, the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the case of a disputed bid, the auctioneer shall have sole discretion in determining the purchaser and may also, at his or her election, withdraw the lot or re-offer the lot for sale. 5. All items are sold as/is, where/is. It is our intention to call out any defects that we know about. We see hundreds of items per auction and therefore can only give a broad opinion of each item. It is the bidders responsibility to determine the condition of the item. You are the sole judge of what any item is worth and you must decide what you are willing to pay for it. We disclaim any responsibility for any opinions on the value of any item whether expressed by the auctioneers or others. All sales are Final. 6. Our auction catalog is for the purpose of identifying the merchandise only. Although obtained from sources deemed reliable, the auctioneer makes no warranty or guarantee expressed or implied, as to the accuracy of the information contained in this catalog. It is for this reason that buyers should avail themselves of the opportunity to make inspection prior to the sale. Condition statements are not provided on every lot. Missing condition statements do not mean the item is perfect. All items are sold as/is. You may call 651-770-6175 for requests on condition of a particular item at least three hours prior to auction start or email tluther@lutherauctions.com at least four hours prior to auction start. Please make requests as soon as possible. These verbal statements are an opinion only and are not guaranteed. Luther Auctions will have no responsibility for any error or omission. 7. Neither Luther Auctions nor the consignor make any guarantees, warranties or representations, expressed or implied, as to the property or the correctness of catalog or other description of the authenticity of authorship, attribution, culture, source, origin, period, size, quality, condition, rarity, provenance, importance, value, medium, age, genuineness, signature, inscription, or otherwise. No statement anywhere, whether oral or written, shall be deemed such a guarantee, warranty or representation. Luther Auctions does not guarantee the authenticity of any signatures. 8. Jewelry is guaranteed to be as cataloged except as follows: Colored stones are not guaranteed. Measurements are approximate and are guaranteed to within 20%. Any stone gradings and conditions are not guaranteed. All weights are for the entire piece including all stones and workings. All watches are sold as/is. Luther Auctions does not guarantee any information contained in outside appraisals. Items marked as tested gold are not marked but have been tested for gold content. If an item must be returned because it is not as cataloged (i.e.. gold content, diamond, etc) Luther Auctions must be notified within 5 business of the auction date. After that all sales are final. No returns can be made on any piece that has been altered. 9. Payment is accepted via LivePayments through your LiveAuctioneers account.
