LOTS: Each auction item is described to the best of our ability, though the descriptions are not meant to be expert appraisals or comprehensive scholarly assessments. Any noted condition reflects the opinion of the auction house. It is the bidder?s duty to assess and judge the condition of each lot independently. Unless specifically stated otherwise, single-item lots are guaranteed to be authentic. If such an item is later determined to be inauthentic by either a panel of three qualified experts or the auctioneer, the buyer will be entitled to a full refund of the purchase amount and any buyer?s premium paid; this refund constitutes the full extent of the auction company?s liability. All returns must be pre-approved and made within ten (10) days of receiving the item. Items such as gemstones and coins are examined and tested for authenticity and are likewise guaranteed to be genuine. This guarantee is void if the item has been tampered with, modified, enhanced, damaged, or removed from its original setting. Lots containing more than one item are offered as "dealer" or bulk lots, sold strictly "as is, where is," with no warranties or guarantees of any kind. Bidders are solely responsible for assessing both authenticity and condition. Submitting a bid confirms the bidder?s acceptance of all terms and conditions. The auction house reserves the right to withdraw any lot at its discretion. 15. ABSENTEE BIDDING: Absentee bidding is available for individuals who cannot participate in the live auction. Such bids may be submitted through email, our website, mail, fax, or online bidding platforms. By placing an absentee bid, the bidder agrees to abide by all stated terms and conditions. 16. TELEPHONE BIDDERS: Telephone bidding must be arranged at least 8 hours before the auction. Requests may be submitted via text or phone. 5. BIDDING: The highest bid recognized by the auctioneer will be considered the winning bid. Once the auctioneer announces a lot as ?sold,? the sale is final, and the bidder is legally obligated to complete the purchase. All sales are final and binding. 9. RESERVE: Most lots are offered without a minimum price. If a lot does have a reserve, this will be stated before bidding begins. When applicable, the auctioneer may bid on behalf of the seller to meet the reserve. These bids do not count as opening bids. If no initial bid is made, the item will be passed. Once bidding starts, the auctioneer may continue bidding on the consignors behalf until the reserve is met. 11. AUCTIONEER: The auctioneer has full authority to control the progression of bidding and to determine the starting bid or minimum increments. They may also decline to accept low or insincere bids intended to undervalue a lot. Once a lot is passed and not sold, it will not be re-offered until a future auction. Unreserved lots are sold at the discretion of the auctioneer. The auctioneer may reject any bid and is permitted to place absentee bids for clients or consignors, though they are not responsible for any mistakes or omissions in executing such instructions. Acting solely as an agent, the auctioneer holds no liability for defaults by either the buyer or seller. The auctioneer reserves the right to cancel or nullify the sale of any lot. Notwithstanding this report or any discussion concerning condition of a lot, all lots are offered and sold "as is" in accordance with our conditions of sale.
