The items carry a limited warranty based on the catalog descriptions. This is limited to protection for you (the Buyer) for serious discrepancies that would severely affect the value of the item(s). Auction does not agree to warranty anything that it deems not to be a serious discrepancy and therefore does not seriously affect the value. This limited warranty protects the Buyer against fakes, reproductions, or any major modification or alteration of a given item. The limited warranty covers authenticity and any considerable restoration or repair not described in the condition report of the catalog. Auction makes its best effort to be as fair and honest as possible in our catalog by providing several high resolution images, any available supporting documentation, and expert analysis (if available) of each item and describing the item to the best of our ability. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. Auction does not warranty against minor imperfections, minor damage, natural flaws due to age of materials, normal signs of wear from use. It is the Buyer?s responsibility to inspect the item(s) in person during the preview period and if placing absentee bids, the Buyer must request a condition report via email at least 48 hours prior to the start of the auction sale. If the Buyer is extremely particular, it is advised that you the Buyer do not submit an absentee bid in our auction sale since your expectation of the condition of a given item may be much higher than our cataloger may have. The purpose of the auction sale catalog is to provide a general description of each item and its condition. The Auction will honor any serious discrepancy in the catalog descriptions. If Auction determines that the discrepancy is not serious, under no circumstances would the Auction honor the warranty. Therefore no refund or adjustment would be made.
