Pre-Black Friday Art Collectible Auction!

TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE The following terms and conditions of sale apply to all property offered for sale or at auction by Celebrity Estate Liquidators (CEL). This includes catalogued, non-catalogued, consigned or inventory property offered for sale or at auction. All property descriptions, whether listed in the catalogue or not, may be amended by us by the posting of an addendum, erratum, notice, or by oral announcements made during the auction or sale. All consigned property is offered by Celebrity Estate Liquidators (CEL) as an agent for the Consignor(s). By bidding, purchasing, or agreeing to purchase at auction or sale, you warrant that you are bound by these Conditions of Sale and Terms of Guarantee. All bids and agreements to purchase are contractual and intentional. Under no circumstances will any bids or agreements to purchase be recognized as accidental or unintentional. A. All property is available for inspection. We recommend that everyone personally inspect any property before bidding on or agreeing to purchase it. Although reasonable efforts have been made to describe the property, it is the buyer's responsibility to inspect the property prior to the auction or sale (see paragraph J). Unless specifically requested none of the property has been inspected by Celebrity Estate Liquidators (CEL) for a condition report, no assumption of condition is made or suggested by a description or the lack of description in the catalogue, addendum, online listing or verbal announcement. B. A buyer's premium will be added to the successful bid or sale price and is payable by the purchaser as part of the total purchase price. The buyer's premium is 15% of the successful bid or sale price. C. Online, telephone, live, and absentee bidders as well as bidders not known to Celebrity Estate Liquidators (CEL) are required to supply us with a valid MasterCard or Visa credit card (in their name) or a bank letter of credit prior to the auction. Bids will not be honored if such arrangements are not made before the auction. Bidders not known to LA Auctioneers who would like to pay with a business or personal check are required to supply us with a bank letter of credit prior to the auction. We will then hold the purchases until the check has cleared our bank. Credit cards are only accepted in person with valid photo identification unless otherwise agreed upon by Celebrity Estate Liquidators (CEL). Other approved electronic payments will be subject to processing fees. D. Property is offered in lots for the auction. All bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer or listed as such on the catalogue's addendum. E. We reserve the right to withdraw any property from the auction or sale for any reason whatsoever and shall have no liability for doing so. F. The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid for any reason whatsoever and shall have no liability for doing so. This includes, but is not limited to, opening bids below the reserve, insufficient advances or increments, or bids from a questionable bidder. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or if there is doubt on our part as to the validity of any bid, the auctioneer will determine who is the successful bidder. The auctioneer may cancel the sale or re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sales record is conclusive. We are not responsible for any errors or omissions in connection with absentee, Internet or telephone bids. G. If a lot is offered with a reserve the auctioneer may bid for the consignor up to the reserve. The auctioneer may open the bidding and or place consecutive bids on behalf of the consignor. In instances where the auctioneer may have an interest in the lot other than the commission, the auctioneer may bid up to the reserve to protect such interest. Any lot that is consigned to us without a reserve may be assigned a reserve, which in our judgment is appropriate. H. Unless exempted by law the purchaser will be required to pay the combined Nevada state and local sales tax, any applicable combination use tax of another state, and if applicable, any federal luxury or other tax, on the total purchase price. Out of state shipments must be made by a qualified carrier. Dealers will be refunded the sales tax upon our verification of a valid Nevada resale number issued specifically for the type of property purchased. I. All property is sold "AS IS" without any warranties or representations by us or the Consignor as to the exactness or correctness of the catalogue, index, addendum, oral statement, or online description of the medium, date, state, edition, size, quality, physical condition, rarity, reference, importance, value, provenance, exhibitions, estimate, literature or historical relevance of any property. No statement anywhere, whether oral or written or online, whether made in the catalogue, sales agreement, sales-room posting or announcement, an advertisement, or elsewhere, shall be deemed such a warranty, representation, or assumption of liability. We and the Consignor make no representations and warranties whatsoever as to whether the buyer acquires any copyrights or reproduction rights in any property. Neither we nor the Consignor are responsible for omissions or errors in the catalogue, online description, or any other material. All sales are final J. The successful bidder recognized by the auctioneer will take title (subject to fulfillment of all of the conditions of sale) to the offered lot on the fall of the auctioneer's hammer, and (a) will assume full responsibility and risk thereof, and (b) will immediately pay the full purchase price or deposit as we may require. A late charge of 5 % per week of the total purchase price will be incurred by the purchaser if payment is not made within 3 days from the sale date. Three days after the sale date (unless other agreed upon arrangements have been made and honored), we can (a) apply late charges and storage fees, (b) cancel the sale, (c) auction or privately resell the property and apply the net proceeds after our selling commissions and expenses to satisfy the unpaid balance, (d) sell any or all property the purchaser may have on consignment with us without minimum or reserve regardless of previously contracted terms, (e) forfeit the purchaser's eligibility to complete the sale and apply any late charges and storage fees, (f) apply any partial payments to any late charges and storage fees, or (g) effect any combination thereof. Any legal expenses incurred by us to collect any or all of the payment due to us will be charged to the purchaser. All property must be removed from the premises by the purchaser at their expense no later than one week after the date of sale unless other specific arrangements are made with us or shipping arrangements have been requested. Any item held by us after three days may be stored or sent to a storage facility, without liability on our behalf, for a charge of 5 % of the total purchase price per day or ten dollars per day, whichever is greater. If the storage charges accumulate to an amount equal to or greater than the purchase price we can then auction or privately resell the property or sell any or all property the purchaser may have on consignment with us without minimum or reserve regardless of previously contracted terms to satisfy the accumulated storage charges after our selling commissions and expenses.

Although our best judgment is used in attributing paintings, drawings and sculpture created prior to 1930 through the appropriate use of the glossary terms, and due care is taken to ensure the correctness of the supplemental material, the right of rescission does not extend to any possible errors or omissions therein.
