SHIPPING: Packing, handling and shipping is the responsibility of the Purchaser. The Gallery does not ship but as a convenience to the purchaser we will, if requested, assist you in arranging shipment. Small items could be handled by the UPS Store in Brenham at 979-830-8291, email: store3449@theupsstore.com . For large purchases call the Gallery at 979-836-7393 for a list of nationwide truckers. Final shipping arrangements are strictly between the Purchaser and the Shipper. Shipments are usually made within two weeks after receiving payment. We recommend that you get shipping estimates from shippers prior to bidding as the shipping of large or heavy objects is not inexpensive. We are not responsible for damage or loss occurring while your property is in the care of others. The following constitutes the entire terms and conditions on which property shall be offered for sale or sold on live internet auctions through the Ant Street Gallery (the Gallery") for any consignor of such property for whom we act as agent, and for property owned by the Gallery. As used herein the term "bid price" means the price at which a lot is knocked down to the purchaser and the term "purchase price" means the aggregate of (a) the bid price (b) a premium of a percentage of the bid price payable by the purchaser to the Gallery if applicable, and (c) unless the purchaser is exempt by law from the payment thereof, any state or local sales taxes. On the fall of the auctioneer's hammer, the highest bidder shall be deemed to have purchased the offered lot in accordance with all of the conditions set forth herein and thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility therefore (b) if requested will sign a confirmation of purchase thereof, and (c) will pay the purchase price in full. The Gallery reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time before the actual sale. The Gallery reserves the right to reject a bid from any bidder. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event the auctioneer doubts the validity of any bid, the auctioneer shall have sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re offer and resell the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Gallery's sales records shall be conclusive in all respects. In the event of a tie bid between an absentee bidder and a live bidder, the lot will be sold to the live bidder. While most items in the auction will be sold without reserve, if a lot is offered subject to a reserve (the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold), the Gallery may implement such reserve by bidding on behalf of the consignor or owner, whether by opening bidding or continuing bidding until the reserve is obtained, by placing consecutive bids, or bids in response to other bidders. Consignors shall not be permitted to bid on their own items. While the Gallery has endeavored to catalog and describe the lots correctly, each lot is sold "AS IS", and neither the Gallery nor the sellers warrants or represents, nor shall be responsible for, the description, value, genuineness, dimensions, authorship, provenance, importance, or condition of a lot. No statement contained in the catalog or made verbally prior to or during the sale shall be deemed to express any warranty, representation, or assumption of responsibility by the Gallery or the seller. In the event that the buyer of any lot fails to pay the purchase price thereof when due, the Gallery shall have the option, at its sole discretion, to (a) enforce payment by civil action or other proceedings against the buyer; (b) to void the sale as if said sale had not occurred; or (c) to exercise any other remedy or remedies available under the law, including but not limited to a second sale of said item, including the subsequent enforcement of any deficiency against the initial buyer. The Gallery reserves the right to require that advance bids received either by mail or by means of telecommunications including email be accompanied by a deposit.. The purchase price must be paid by the successful bidder in cash, on or prior to the close of the auction. Checks and MasterCard and Visa are acceptable if the buyer is accredited with the Gallery. Absolutely no items may be removed prior to payment in full. The Gallery reserves the right to hold property purchased by check until the check has cleared the bank. The Purchaser agrees to pay the Gallery a handling charge of $25 for any check that is dishonored. All items must be removed by the purchaser thereof, or alternate arrangements made with the Gallery promptly after the auction. A minimum handling charge of $25.00 plus storage charge of $5.00 per day will be assessed against any items remaining in the custody of the Gallery by the close of business of the tenth day following the auction. All items handled or stored will be at the purchasers risk. Storage charges must be paid before merchandise is released. If for any reason a purchased lot cannot be delivered in as good condition as at the time of purchase, be stolen or mis-delivered or lost prior to delivery, the Gallery shall not be liable for any amount in excess of that paid by the purchaser. Any claim for loss or damage during shipping must be filed with the carrier by purchaser. The Gallery shall have no liability for such loss or damage. Any of the above conditions may be waived at the sole discretion of the Gallery.
