For this reason, Aurora retains the right, at its sole discretion, to refuse admission to anyone wanting to participate in the Auction. In addition, Aurora reserves the right to record the Auction via electronic media (sound, video, etc.) for its own internal use only; no copies of these recordings will be made available to consignors or Buyers unless Aurora, in its sole discretion, chooses to do so. 4. Buyer Registration: All potential Buyers desiring to participate in the Auction sale must have a Catalog and must register to bid prior to the Auction by completing a Buyer Registration form included in the Catalog.

Bidding: a) General Bidding in this sale constitutes acceptance by the Buyer of all the Terms and Conditions of Sale stated herein. All items shall be sold in independent lots to the Buyer at the highest bid as determined by the Auctioneer. The Auctioneer/Aurora may accept or decline any bid, challenge any bid or bidding increment, at the Auctioneers/Aurora's exclusive discretion. Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale. No lot will be broken up unless otherwise permitted by the Auctioneer. Lots will be sold in their numbered sequence unless Auctioneer/Aurora directs otherwise. It is unlawful and illegal for Buyers to collude, pool, or agree with another Buyer to pay less than the fair value for lot(s). Buyers in the Sale acknowledge that the law provides for substantial penalties in the form of treble damages and attorneys' fees and costs for those who violate these provisions. Aurora shall have the right at its sole discretion to rescind acceptance of any bid and place the lot(s) for Sale again. Aurora's decision shall be final. When identical bids are received for a lot, preference is given to the first bid received as determined by the Auctioneer/Aurora. A mail bid will take precedence over an identical floor bid; a Floor Buyer and Telephone/Internet Buyer must bid higher than the highest mail bid to be awarded any lot. Auctioneer/Aurora reserve the right to refuse any bid, to reduce any mail bid received, to open the bidding of a lot at any level deemed appropriate by Aurora/Auctioneer and to determine the prevailing bid, at Aurora's sole discretion. Lot(s) may carry a reserve, which is a confidential price or bid below which the Auctioneer will not sell an item or will re-purchase on behalf of the Consignor or for Aurora. The Auctioneer may open or accept the bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the Consignor or his or her agents or a Buyer by mail, telephone, Telefax, Internet or any other participant in the sale. If Buyer bids through an agent, the agency must be disclosed in writing to Aurora prior to the Auction Sale. If the agency is not disclosed, Aurora may choose to rescind the sale and otherwise the benefits of the warranty shall not transfer to the undisclosed Buyer and instead shall be limited to the agent. All Buyers who examine lot(s) prior to the Auction Sale, personally assume all responsibility for any damage that Buyer causes while handling or examining lot(s). Aurora has exclusive discretion in ascertaining the value of any damage caused, which shall be promptly paid by the responsible Buyer. Pursuant to a separate agreement with Aurora, Consignors or their agents may be permitted to bid on their own lots in the Auction sale and may receive a rebate commission in whole or part if successful. Where the Consignor has re-purchased a lot and the lot is either returned to the Consignor or otherwise dealt with or disposed of in accordance with the Consignor's direction, or pursuant to contractual agreement, Aurora reserves the right to so note in the prices realized or to omit a price from the price realized list. Aurora reserves the right to bid on its own account at any Auction sale. Aurora reserves the right to include in any Auction sale its own consignments as well as consignments from affiliated or related companies, principals, officers or employees. Aurora may have direct or indirect interests in these, or other items, and may collect commissions. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Aurora may not be required to pay a Buyer's Commission, or other charges and/or fees that other Buyers may be required to pay and may have access to information concerning the lot(s) that is not otherwise available to the public, such as a Consignor's reserve. Any claimed conflict of interest or claimed competitive advantage resulting therefrom is expressly waived by all participants in the Auction. AURORA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MISTAKES IN BIDDING. Buyer is responsible to bid on the correct lot(s) and acknowledges that the Buyer is willing and able to pay the maximum bid amount bid PLUS the Buyer's Commission and any and all related fees and charges. Once the hammer has fallen and the Auctioneer announces the winning Buyer, the Buyer is unconditionally responsible to pay for the lot, even if the Buyer has made a mistake. Buyer acknowledges that, in the instance of an error/discrepancy between the photograph of a lot and the written description in the Catalog, in all instances, the written description of the lot(s) shall be construed as the accurate representation of the lot. All written descriptions in the Catalog are subject to Errata Corrections, posted by Aurora on the Internet or printed and/or distributed by Aurora at the Auction or with the Catalog. Buyer acknowledges that it is the Buyer's responsibility to obtain a copy of the errata sheet prior to bidding. Buyer may not revoke a Bid based on an error in the description for a lot for which an Errata Correction was published by Aurora. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that description and grading of a Lot is a process by which an estimated value of a lot is determined.Grading is an educated opinion; it is not an established fact. The grade and estimated value herein represent the opinion of Aurora and/ or its Consignor(s)/Sellers. Every Buyer's individual examination of the item(s) is the determining factor and not the grade determined by others. Every reasonable effort is made by Aurora to ascertain provenance and authenticity of a Lot. It is the Buyer's responsibility to determine value prior to bidding. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price. THE BUYER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS OF VALUE CONCERNING ANY AND ALL PURCHASES. Bids will not be accepted from persons under eighteen (18) years of age. b) Absentee Bidding Absentee bidding allows the Buyer to participate in an Auction as though the Buyer were there.

On any accounts past due, Aurora reserves the right to extend credit and impose periodic charges. If any invoice is not paid for in full when due per invoice terms, the unpaid balance will earn interest at the rate of one-and-one-half percent (1-1/2%) per month until it is paid in full. In the event this interest rate exceeds the interest permitted by law, the interest rate will be adjusted to the maximum rate permitted by law.
