ALL INTERNET BIDDERS ARE REQUIRED TO READ AND AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS OF SALE. GENERAL RULES 1. You must be registered at least 24 hours in advance of the start of the sale in order to participate. Please do not wait until the auction has started to register to bid. We cannot guarantee that your registration will be processed during the auction. 2. All lots will be sold in numerical order according to the online catalog and online only bidding through Live Auctioneers. 3. All property must be paid for within five (5) business days after the date of the auction. Successful bidders will be notified and invoices will be sent via email within 48 hours following the auction. 4. Bidding on an item indicates the bidder's acceptance of our Conditions of Sale. Placing a bid is a legally binding obligation. Your acceptance of these terms through Live Auctioneers constitutes permission to charge successful bids to the Bidder's credit card if payment is not received within five (5) business days after the conclusion of the auction. If a purchaser breaches any of these Terms of Sale, including the obligation to pay for purchased items, John Atzbach Antiques may seek all remedies under the law including canceling the sale and reoffering the property without reserve. No lots are sold on approval. 5. The absence of condition remarks in the lot description DOES NOT mean the item is in perfect condition. Prospective buyers are in ALL CASES responsible for determining the physical condition of lots. Objects may be examined in advance by prior arrangement with Rosita Rapetti Antiques; we are also happy to provide additional photographs of each item and speak with potential bidders by telephone. All items are sold AS IS and there will be no returns based on condition. 6. Registered bidders accept all personal liability to pay the purchase price including all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable charges. 7. Rosita Rapetti Antiques is not responsible for any missed bids due to computer conditions or internet connection speeds. We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the internet, or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids. 8. Internet bidders are responsible for their user IDs and access to their computers. Reports of stolen user IDs or inappropriate use of a personal computer does not release you from your responsibility. If, as an internet bidder, you have no intention of paying for lots purchased, please do not bid. Rosita Rapetti Antiques will file a dispute with Live Auctioneers which could affect your ability to bid in any future auctions with Rosita Rapetti Antiques or other Live Auctioneers sellers. 9. Rosita Rapetti Antiques as the auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to re-offer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. We reserve the right to withdraw any property before and during the sale, as well as reserve the right to group one or more lots into one or more selling lots, or to subdivide lots into two or more selling lots. Rosita Rapetti Antiques shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal, addition or amendment. 9.
