By submitting your bid, you agree that: You have read and agree with the Auctioneer Terms and Conditions below and the Live Auctioneers Terms of Use Agreement. All works are sold 'As Is'. No statement in the on-line catalogue, shall be construed to be as a representation, warranty or admission of liability. All measurements are approximate. Limited Guarantee: Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, Bert Gallery Studio Sales does offer a limited guarantee that works offered for sale are not counterfeit. A counterfeit for this purpose is defined as a modern fake or forgery that was made with the intent to deceive. If a buyer gives us notice within 14 days of the sale that an item that was purchased is counterfeit and provides a written report from an authority that demonstrates that the item is indeed counterfeit and that a fair reading of the catalogue description and the auctioneer's statements at the time of the sale did not indicate this, then Bert Gallery Studio Sales will rescind the sale and refund the purchase price to the buyer. This guarantee is made only to the original buyer (i.e. registered bidder) and does not extend to any subsequent purchasers. In any event, any liability that Bert Gallery Studio Sales has for such a sale is limited to the purchase price of the item sold. Inspection and Conditional Reports: We encourage you to call and arrange an examination of lots that you are interested in purchasing. Although we do include general condition reports in this catalogue, we are happy to assist you further in determining the condition of items you are interested in. Buyer's Premium: A buyer's premium will be added to the hammer price of each lot sold. The buyer's premium is equal to 24% of the hammer price on the LiveAuctioneers platform. A modest additional fee is added by Live Auctioneers for credit card processing. Any items that are not picked up within ten (10) business days after the completion of the auction will be subject to a handling and storage fee of 3% of the purchase price. This fee will be assessed monthly. We assume no risk or responsibility for items that are left on our premises after the sale or that are transferred to our warehouse. Reserves: Some lots carry reserves or minimum selling prices. This is a confidential figure set by the consignor below which the item will not be sold. The reserve will not always be less than (or equal to) our low estimate for the lot. The Live Auctioneers clerk will execute reserve bids as in-house bids. Estimates: All pre-sale estimates of the value of the lots are intended only as guides for potential bidders. Our pre-sale estimates may not be relied upon by anyone as a prediction of the selling price or the fair market value of any lot. The actual selling price may differ greatly from our estimates. All estimates that are provided by us are subject to revision at any time. Payment: Live Auctioneers accepts major credit cards and handles all disputes on payment. We reserve the right to hold items that you have purchased until your payment clears. Payment is due at the time bidding on each work concludes. We reserve the right to charge you a late fee of 10% for any unpaid balances over 30 day. CONTRACT: Your bid is a binding and legal contract.

If you have not contacted Bert Gallery Studio Sales to arrange payment within 3 days of the time that invoice is sent, we will charge the credit card you used to register for the auction for the amount of your invoice.
