MODERN JEWELRY TERMS & CONDITIONS THE AUCTIONEER The Auctioneer shall forthwith adjudicate any disputes concerning the manner in which the bids are made or received. Auctioneer's decision shall be final, absolute and binding on all parties. DESCRIPTION OF LISTINGS AND LOTS Modern Jewelry shall exercise reasonable care to describe in detail each listing and any pertinent information about it. Modern Jewelry will not be responsible for any errors or omissions in the description of the merchandise unless it is a material and intentional misrepresentation of the lot listing itself. Modern Jewelry makes no warranties of any kind, express or implied, related to the description or information in any listings or lots (See "DISCLAIMER" below). It is the Bidder's responsibility to determine condition, age, genuineness, value or any other determinative factor. Bidder is solely responsible for conducting his or her own investigation before placing a bid. By placing a bid Bidder agrees, acknowledges and consents that Bidder has investigated the lot or listing to his or her satisfaction. PLACEMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF BIDS The placing of a bid shall be treated as an acceptance of the terms and conditions stated herein. Modern Jewelry reserves the right to accept or reject any bid for any reason at any time. Any and all bids made by a Bidder constitute irrevocable offers to purchase the lot at the maximum bid amount of the Bidder and may not be withdrawn by the Bidder under any circumstances. At the close and reconciliation of the auction, Modern Jewelry shall determine the actual winning Bidder of each lot and may, in its sole discretion, reflect as sold to any lower Bidder any duplicate item that may be available at the Bidder's maximum bid on the lot. Where a dispute may arise between Bidders, or in the event a doubt arises as to the validity of the bid, Modern Jewelry retains exclusive control and discretion to determine the successful Bidder, cancel the sale, award the lot the next highest Bidder or to re-offer and resell the lot in dispute. Placing a bid is the acceptance of the terms and conditions set forth herein. Internet bidders who desire to secure that their bid is acknowledged should use the proxy-bidding feature offered and place their maximum bid 24 hours before the auction begins. BINDING CONTRACT A bid placed by a Bidder is binding, ratified, irrevocable and fixed. There are no provisions excusing or canceling the placing of bids. Accordingly, any requests to cancel bids will be denied, including but not limited to, scenarios involving a Bidder not reading a listing, not being familiar with the functions of the bidding platform, not exercising proper due diligence, not maintaining control over Bidder's bidding terminal, bidding by inadvertence or mistake, Bidder attempting to "test the market" or "mark the lot." The scenarios outlined herein are not to be treated as an exclusive list and such requests to cancel bids will be denied, treated as null and void, and will not insulate Bidder from meeting its legal and contractual obligation to fulfill and conclude the transaction. By bidding, the Bidder further agrees to Modern Jewelry?'s shipping and handling policy and charges, whether known or unknown to the Bidder at the time of bid. Failure to make such payment shall be treated as a breach of the general terms and conditions, and, consequently, Bidder will be charged a re-stocking fee on transactions equal to (a) 15% of the amount of winning Bidder's invoice, plus $30; or (b) The cost associated with re-marketing and re-selling the lot, whichever is greater. The winning Bidder's failure to fulfill its obligation in completing the purchase in accordance with the terms provided herein and in the listing will expose Buyer to the following, or any combination thereof, disciplinary actions: (a) Elimination of all future bidding privileges on the hosting site; (b) Credit agency reporting; (c) Legal or collection action. In addition, Bidder acknowledges and agrees that Bidder is responsible for any and all costs associated with collection of amounts owing to Bidder, until collected in complete satisfaction, and Modern Jewelry is entitled to collect any such costs from Bidder. Costs expended with collection may include, but are not limited to, time charges, incidental expenses, attorneys' fees and costs, retaining a collection agency. Modern Jewelry may direct the Bidder to compensate any third-party collection vendor directly for their services. The terms and conditions and each listing or lot contain all of the provisions applicable to the agreement between Modern Jewelry as seller and each Bidder and supersedes all prior understandings, oral discussions, promises, or earlier agreements. All modifications to the Terms and Conditions and to any listing must be in writing and signed by both Modern Jewelry and Bidder/Buyer. By bidding, Bidder further agrees that in the event of any dispute arising between Modern Jewelry and Bidder that cannot be resolved informally the parties agree to binding arbitration (See "DISPUTE RESOLUTION" below). DISCLAIMER Modern Jewelry shall not be held liable for having made or implied any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

Internet Bidders who desire to make certain their bid is acknowledged should use the absentee bidding feature and leave their maximum bid before the auction begins. Modern Jewelry reserves the right to withdraw or re-catalog lots in any auction. Bidder specifically waives the right to initiating a credit card chargeback dispute on any basis of claim and agrees that Bidder will pay Modern Jewelry a minimum of $300 plus hourly charges and costs for any such chargeback dispute opened, due to the severe administrative burden of such disputes and their direct violation of the dispute provisions above.
