Important Art Glass & Antique Auction

1. All items are sold “AS IS, WHERE IS” with all faults. There are no
warranties or representations of merchantability, of fitness, nor of any
other kind, express or implied. All items are available for your examination
prior to bidding. Written and oral descriptions are our opinions
and should in no way be construed as a guarantee of any kind as to
authenticity, age, condition, materials or any other feature of items being
sold. DAG attempts to catalog every lot correctly and will attempt
to point out any defects but will not be responsible or liable for the
correctness of the catalog or other descriptions of the lot. We recommend
prospective bidders examine all items in which they have an interest.
By placing a bid, either in person, by phone, absentee or via the
Internet, you signify that you have examined the items as fully as you
desire to or that you have chosen not to examine them. If you require
absolute certainty in all areas of authenticity, and the results of your
evaluation leave uncertainty in your mind, we recommend you have an
expert examine the lot for you or do not bid on the item in question. If
your item(s) are damaged in shipping, you will need to contact the shipper
to file a claim. If your item(s) are being shipped and there is a
condition problem upon receipt, you are expected to notify us immediately
by phone at 866-653-3900. Our consignors are paid on the 21st
business day following the end of the auction. Consequently, any condition
concerns will be null and void after the 20th business day following
the end of the auction. Please note that if you pay late and thus
receive your item(s) late, this does not qualify you for special privileges.
We do not give refunds! All sales are final!
2. All property is sold “AS IS, WHERE IS” and neither DAG nor the
consignor makes any warranties or representations of any kind or nature
with respect to property or its value, and in no event shall be responsible
for the correctness of description, genuineness, attribution,
provenance, authenticity, authorship, completeness, condition of property
or estimate of value. No statement (oral or written) in this catalog,
at the sale, or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty or representation,
or any assumption of responsibility. All measurements are approximate.
3. The successful bidder is the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer.
In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event of
doubt on DAG’s part as to the validity of any bid, the auctioneer will
have the final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to
re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the
sale, DAG’s sale record is conclusive.
4. The purchaser assumes full responsibility for items at the fall of the
hammer.
5. As a convenience to customers, absentee bids and phone bids will be
executed by DAG personnel in a competitive and confidential manner.
Phone bid arrangements must be made 24 hours prior to start of the
auction. DAG will not be responsible for failure to execute absentee or
phone bids.
6. There will be a premium of 12% (15% for Internet bidders) added to
the hammer price of each lot and it will be considered part of the total
purchase price.
7. All purchases will be subject to an 8.25% Texas sales tax unless the
purchaser possesses a valid tax-exempt number. DAG must have a blanket
exemption certificate with permit number and signature on any tax
exempt sale. No Exceptions!
8. PAYMENT - All items purchased in person must be paid for on the day
of the auction in cash, personal or company check with proper ID, cashiers

items purchased in person at the auction and not paid for the day
of the auction will be charged the next day to the credit card you registered
with. All items purchased through absentee and phone bidding
will be paid for in the manner described on the Absentee Bid Form and
the Phone Bid Form, both of which are available at the gallery or online

Auctions, it is the buyer’s responsibility to contact Dallas Auction

PM on the Tuesday following the sale, we will charge the credit card
you used to register for the auction for the amount of your invoice.
Failure to make payment arrangements within 7 days following the
auction will result in a NPB being placed on your e-Bay account. If
paying by check, DAG reserves the right to hold the property until the
check has cleared.
9. SHIPPING - It is the buyer’s responsibility to arrange for and pay for
shipping. All property should be removed from our premises no later

fees of $10.00 per item per day until removal. Please note that removal
deadlines are strictly enforced.
10. If we are prevented by fire, theft, or any other reason whatsoever from
delivering any property to the purchaser, our liability shall be limited

without liability.
12. The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid not commensurate
with the value of the property offered.
13. A range of estimates is given on each lot with a low and a high estimate.

selling price.
14. If any applicable conditions herein are not complied with by the purchaser,
in addition to other remedies available to it by law, including
without limitation the right to hold the purchaser
liable for the total purchase price, DAG at its option may
either (a) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments
made by the purchaser or (b) resell the property at public auction without
reserve or minimum selling price, and the purchaser will be liable
for any deficiency and costs, including handling charges, expenses of
both sales, the commission on both sales at regular rates, all other charges
due hereunder and incidental damages.

obligations of DAG and any purchasers or bidder at any sale of DAG,
shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the
laws of the State of Texas.
