Please read the following "Terms of Sale" carefully. These terms are applicable to all bidders in this auction, collectors and dealers alike. Please do not bid in this auction if you do not agree to all of the terms listed below. Your submission of bids in this auction constitutes your acceptance of these "Terms of Sale." 1. This is an auction sale, not an approval sale. Upon the auctioneer's call of "Sold," all sales are final. By bidding in this auction, the bidder personally guarantees payment. The auctioneer has final discretion in all matters. In case of dispute, the lot(s) in question may be resold. Lots will be sold in their numerical sequence unless the auctioneer directs otherwise. 2. HIGH and LOW ESTIMATES are provided for each lot for reference only. When placing your bids, keep in mind that most lots in this auction have RESERVE PRICING, meaning that the starting bid may or may not be the actual price at which the item can/will be sold; conversely, many lots will also be sold WITHOUT RESERVE PRICING, meaning the starting price is the lowest price at which that particular item can/will be sold. To help avoid confusion when bidding, all lots will be designated either RESERVE PRICING or NO RESERVE prominently in each listing. 3. Absolutely no lots will be released until payment in full has been made. Payment (in U.S. funds) may be made via personal or money order, via credit card (MasterCard, Visa, Discover or American Express), PayPal or bank wire transfer. There will be a 3% service fee for all credit card and PayPal transactions. For PayPal payments please use "artemisgallery@gmail.com" email address for processing payments. 4. A 14.5% buyer's premium will be added to the final price of each lot purchased through Artemis Gallery, and will be paid by all bidders, without exception! 5. Appropriate Colorado sales tax will be added to all invoices, unless a valid CO seller's permit is on file with Artemis Gallery prior to any bidding in the auction. Items shipped outside of CO (United States or international) are also sales tax exempt. 6. RETURN POLICY: If our description of the item is not as described, we will accept return of the item; however, we MUST HAVE NOTIFICATION OF RETURN WITHIN FIVE BUSINESS DAYS FROM RECEIPT OF ITEM BY BIDDER, as shown by FedEx, UPS or USPS tracking data, and the item must be received by us within ten days. A letter from a recognized expert in the field pertaining to the item in dispute must be presented for refund. No lots may be returned without prior written consent. Late remittance constitutes just cause for revocation of all return privileges. Return shipping is at the bidder's expense.

Items will be shipped only upon receipt of payment in full and will be insured for their full value. For shipments outside of the USA, customs and duties may apply, and this is the buyer's responsibility. 9. ESTIMATES for each lot are given only as a guide to help gauge your bidding. Lots may sell for a price greater than or less than these estimates. Bids under 50% of the pre-auction estimate may not be accepted. 10. STARTING PRICES may or may not be the actual price at which any item will sell. Most of the lots in this auction have a reserve price, meaning that a certain price must be met before the auctioneer can sell the item. Several lots will also sell without reserve pricing, meaning that the starting price is the actual lowest price the auctioneer can/will sell the item. To avoid confusion, each lot will be designated as RESERVE or NO RESERVE. 11. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may bid further on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, by placing successive bids for any lot, or by placing bids in response to other bidders. The auctioneer may accept or decline any bid, or challenge to any bid, as he in his sole discretion shall determine. 12. All bidders must register credit card information prior to bidding, no exceptions! You do not have to pay with the credit card on file, but you must register in order to bid. 13. In the event a successful bidder fails to make payment when due, Artemis Gallery reserves the right to re-sell the merchandise and bidder agrees to pay for the reasonable cost of such a sale and also to pay any difference between the resale price and the previously successful bid, together with any incidental costs of sale and disbursements. 14. If the auction invoice is not paid for in full when due per invoice terms, the unpaid balance will bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law until paid in full. If the matter is referred to an attorney for collection, bidder agrees to pay all reasonable attorney fees, court costs and other collection cost incurred by Artemis Gallery to collect past due invoices and that the services of process by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, shall be sufficient to confer "in personam" jurisdiction over bidder. 15. Buyer agrees that any claim of controversy arising out of, or relating to the formation, interpretation of performance of these terms and underlying transactions or the breach thereof, is subject to arbitration or judicial proceedings and shall take place within the County of Boulder, CO subject to the laws of the State of Colorado. 16.
