Notwithstanding the preceding condition, if within twenty-one days of the sale of any lot, the purchaser gives notice in writing to DuMouchelles that the lot so sold is a counterfeit and, if within fourteen days of such notice the purchaser returns the lot to DuMouchelles in the same condition as when sold, and proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the returned lot is in fact a counterfeit and that this was not indicated by a fair reading of the catalog, the sale will be rescinded and the purchase price refunded. Consignor agrees to refund DuMouchelles any payments made to Consignor for any counterfeit property returned DuMouchelles. 6. Unless the sale is advertised and announced as a sale without reserves, each lot is offered subject to reserve and the DuMouchelles may implement such reserves by bidding through its representatives on behalf of the Consignor. In certain instances, the Consignor may pay DuMouchelles less than the standard commission rate where the Consignor is the successful bidder. Where the Consignor is indebted to DuMouchelles, and in certain other instances, DuMouchelles may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds there from other than the commissions for their sale. 7.

If any dispute arises after the sale, the sale record of DuMouchelles shall be conclusive in all respects. 8. If the auctioneer determines that any opening bid is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, he may reject the same and withdraw the article from the sale; and, if having acknowledged an opening bid, he decides that any advance thereafter is not of sufficient amount, he may reject the advance. 9. On the fall of the auctioneer's hammer, title to the offered lot will pass from Consignor to the purchaser, subject to all the conditions set forth herein, and purchaser thereupon a) assumes full risk and responsibility therefore, b) will sign a confirmation of purchase thereof, and c) will thereupon pay the full purchase price therefore or such part as we may require. We reserve the right to impose a late charge of 1 1/2% per month on the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with all of the conditions set forth herein. All property must be removed from our premises by the purchaser at their expense not later than 3 business days following its sale and, if it is not so removed, a handling charge of 1% of the purchase price will be payable by the purchaser per month until its removal, with a minimum of 5% for any property not so removed within 60 days after the sale. If any applicable conditions herein are not compiled with by the purchaser in addition to other remedies available to us and the Consignor by law, including without limitation the right to a) hold the purchaser liable for the total purchase price, we at our option may either cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the purchaser or b) resell the property at public auction, and the purchaser shall be liable for any deficiency, costs, including handling charges, the expenses of both sales, or commission on both sales at option, payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until we have collected funds represented by checks, or, in the case of bank or cashier's checks, we have confirmed their authenticity.
