The auction is conducted pursuant to these Terms and Conditions of Sale ("Terms and Conditions") as well as any applicable federal, state and local laws. The Terms and Conditions of Sale as they appear on Live Auctioneers are the most current and supercede all other Terms and Conditions, including those that appear on Preston Hall's website. By registering and bidding in an auction conducted by Preston Hall, bidders agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. This applies to all bidders, whether bidding by telephone, via an agent acting on their behalf, by written or telephone absentee bid instruction, or through a live Internet connection. These are the complete and only Terms and Conditions by which all property is offered for sale. All prospective buyers should read these Terms and Conditions before bidding. Preston Hall retains the right to bar any bidder from participating in any auction and to exclude or reject any bid. 1.

All bidders must meet certain qualifications to bid and must be in good standing of the auction gallery. In addition, bidders may be required to present a valid and chargeable Visa or MasterCard before being approved to participate in the auction. 2. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS Bidding on any item, whether in person, by phone, by absentee bid or via a live Internet auction indicates the bidder's agreement to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. Any right of bidder under this agreement shall not be assignable and shall only be enforceable by the original buyer. The rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed by the laws of the state of Texas. All bidders submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Texas. By placing a bid on any item (lot) in a sale conducted by Preston Hall, either in person, by phone, absentee bid or via the Internet, buyer/bidder signifies that he or she has examined the item as fully as he or she desires or deems necessary or prudent or that he or she has chosen, for whatever reason, not to examine it. Bidders who bid from off_site or via the Internet, acknowledge that they may not be able to inspect an item as well as if they had examined it in person prior to the auction. If a buyer/bidder requires absolute certainty in all areas of authenticity,and the results of his or her evaluation leave any uncertainty in his or her mind whatsoever, we strongly recommend that the prospective buyer/bidder have an expert examine the lot on his/her behalf or, if that is not possible, do not bid on the item(s)in question. 3. TERMS OF SALE. Announcements made the day of auction take precedence over any previous communication. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time before its final sale and to reject any bid for any reason. The highest bidder for each lot acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the "buyer." If any dispute arises as to any bidding, or between two or more bidders, at the sole discretion of the auctioneer, the successful bidder will be determined or the disputed lot shall be put up again at the last undisputed bid and resold. In the event of a tie bid, the earliest bid received or recognized wins. Bids properly offered, whether by Internet, telephone, fax, or by any other means of bidding, may occasionally be missed or go unrecognized; in such cases, Preston Hall may declare the recognized bid accepted as the winning bid, regardless of whether a competing bid may have been higher. 4. EXECUTION OF CERTAIN BIDS Preston Hall cannot be responsible for your errors in bidding, so carefully check that every bid is entered correctly. When identical mail or fax bids are submitted,preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, your written bids should be received at least two business days before the auction start.Preston Hall is not responsible for executing mail bids or FAX bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold; nor is Preston Hall responsible for proper execution of bids submitted by telephone, mail, FAX, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the auction begins. 5. PRESTON HALL GALLERY AS AGENT Preston Hall acts as an agent for the seller, unless otherwise indicated in this catalog or at the time of auction. On certain occasions, Preston Hall or its principals may own a lot, in which case we will act in a principal capacity as a consignor, or may have a legal, beneficial or financial interest in a lot as a secured creditor or otherwise. Preston Hall Gallery has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the auction. Such lots shall be considered sold during the auction and all of these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such sales, including but not limited to the Buyer's Premium, return rights, and disclaimers. 6.

All sales are final except as noted in Paragraph 15, AUTHORSHIP WARRANTY & RIGHT OF RECISSION. 7. CATALOG DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION REPORTS Condition Reports for any given lot, if available, may be found on Live Auctioneers. Condition Reports are provided as a courtesy and are based solely on opinion and observation of Preston Hall Gallery and its' staff and no warranty is expressed or implied concerning an item's quality, rarity, importance or merchantability . As well, they reflect expectations subject to the given age of the given lot. Condition Reports carry no guarantee, implied or otherwise, of their correctness. Existence of a Condition Report for a given lot does not presume that all aspects of a particular lot have been analyzed. While every reasonable effort is made to respond to all requests for condition, due to the volume of such requests,Preston Hall cannot guarantee that all requests will receive a response. Should a prospective bidder have any questions concerning the condition of a particular lot prior to the auction, and should those questions remain unanswered prior to bidding, Preston Hall Gallery strongly recommends that a bidder not bid on the item or items in question. Every reasonable effort is made to ensure the correctness of all catalog descriptions, however, the knowledge of Preston Hall in relation to each lot is often partially dependent on information provided to us by the seller, and Preston Hall is not able to and does not carry out exhaustive due diligence on each and every lot. Prospective bidders/buyers acknowledge this fact by bidding accordingly and accept responsibility for carrying out inspections to satisfy themselves as to the lots they are interested in purchasing. From time to time, catalog changes and/or addendum will be issued prior to an auction Preston Hall makes every effort to upload these changes to our online catalog, however prospective bidders are encouraged to ask about any such changes prior to bidding. 8.
