It is the Purchaser?s responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import licenses. All lots purchased from Gosby shall be paid for in accordance with article 11 and the denial of any export or import license or any delay in the obtaining of such license shall not justify the rescission or cancellation of any sale or any delay in making payment of the Purchase Price for the lot.

Gosby will have no liability whatsoever for any errors or failures. All outstanding accounts for absentee bidders must be settled in full within three (3) days of the termination of the auction. 20. If the conditions herein or any other applicable condition(s) are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available by law to Gosby and/or its consignors, including but without limitation, the right to hold the Purchaser liable for the Purchase Price, Gosby may, at its option, choose to do any of the following: a) Cancel the sale in part or in full, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the Purchaser; b) Resell the property, either publicly or privately, after three (3) day notice to the Purchaser and for the account and risk of the Purchaser, and in such event the Purchaser shall be liable to Gosby for any deficiency if the resale is less than the Purchase Price, plus all costs, including warehousing, the pro-rata share of expenses of both sales including reasonable legal fees, Gosby? commission, plus all other charges due hereunder and incidental damages suffered by Gosby or its consignor; c) Charge interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of 5% above the prime rate of the Royal Bank of Canada; and d) Store the lot on the premises of Gosby or elsewhere, and to release the lot to the Purchaser only after payment of the Purchase Price and any additional expenses incurred by Gosby. 21.
