CONDITIONS OF SALE AND TERMS OF GUARANTEE
<p>
The following Conditions of Sale and Terms of Guarantee apply to all property offered for sale or at auction by Clark Cierlak Fine Arts or Clark’s Fine Art Auctioneers Inc. This includes catalogued, non-catalogued, consigned or inventory property offered for sale or at auction. All property descriptions, whether listed in the catalogue or not, may be amended by us by the posting of an addendum, erratum, notice, or by oral announcements made during the auction or sale. All consigned property is offered by Clark Cierlak Fine Arts or Clark’s Fine Art Auctioneers Inc. as an agent for the Consignor(s). By bidding, purchasing, or agreeing to purchase at auction or sale, you warrant that you are bound by these Conditions of Sale and Terms of Guarantee. All bids and agreements to purchase are contractual and intentional. Under no circumstances will any bids or agreements to purchase be recognized as accidental or unintentional.<p>
A. All property is available for inspection. We recommend that everyone personally inspect any property before bidding on or agreeing to purchase it. Although reasonable efforts have been made to describe the property, it is the buyer's responsibility to inspect the property prior to the auction or sale (see paragraph J). Unless specifically requested none of the property has been inspected by Clark Cierlak Fine Arts or Clark’s Fine Art Auctioneers Inc. for a condition report, no assumption of condition is made or suggested by a description or the lack of description in the catalogue, addendum, online listing or verbal announcement.
.<p>B. A buyer's premium will be added to the successful bid or sale price and is payable by the purchaser as part of the total purchase price. The buyer's premium is 15% of the successful bid or sale price.
.<p>C. Online, telephone and absentee bidders as well as bidders not known to Clark Cierlak Fine Arts or Clark’s Fine Art Auctioneers Inc. are required to supply us with a valid MasterCard or Visa credit card (in their name) or a bank letter of credit prior to the auction. Bids will not be honored if such arrangements are not made before the auction. Bidders not known to Clark Cierlak Fine Arts or Clark’s Fine Art Auctioneers Inc. who would like to pay with a business or personal check are required to supply us with a bank letter of credit prior to the auction. We will then hold the purchases until the check has cleared our bank. Credit cards are only accepted in person with valid photo identification unless otherwise agreed upon by Clark Cierlak Fine Arts or Clark’s Fine Art Auctioneers Inc. Other approved electronic payments will be subject to processing fees.
.<p>D. Property is offered in lots for the auction. All bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer or listed as such on the catalogue's addendum.
.<p>E. We reserve the right to withdraw any property from the auction or sale for any reason whatsoever and shall have no liability for doing so.
.<p>F. The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid for any reason whatsoever and shall have no liability for doing so. This includes, but is not limited to, opening bids below the reserve, insufficient advances or increments, or bids from a questionable bidder. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or if there is doubt on our part as to the validity of any bid, the auctioneer will determine who is the successful bidder. The auctioneer may cancel the sale or re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sales record is conclusive. We are not responsible for any errors or omissions in connection with absentee, internet or telephone bids.
.<p>G. If a lot is offered with a reserve the auctioneer may bid for the consignor up to the reserve. The auctioneer may open the bidding and or place consecutive bids on behalf of the consignor. In instances where the auctioneer may have an interest in the lot other than the commission, the auctioneer may bid up to the reserve to protect such interest. Any lot that is consigned to us without a reserve may be assigned a reserve which in our judgment is appropriate.
.<p>H. Unless exempted by law the purchaser will be required to pay the combined California state and local sales tax, any applicable combination use tax of another state, and if applicable, any federal luxury or other tax, on the total purchase price. Out of state shipments must be made by a qualified carrier. Dealers new to us will be refunded the sales tax upon our verification of a valid California resale number issued specifically for the type of property purchased.
.<p>I. The authenticity of the Authorship (creator, period, culture, or source of origin, as the case may be, as set forth in the <b>Bold Type Heading</b> of a catalogue lot or as described on the Sales Agreement) of property is guaranteed for one year from the sale date. If within one year's time the purchaser returns the property in the same condition as when purchased and gives us written proof from a recognized impartial expert which establishes beyond a reasonable doubt that the returned property is in fact a counterfeit or a forgery intended to deceive and that this was not indicated by a fair reading of the auction catalogue, sales agreement or auctioneer’s comments at the time of sale, then we and the consignor will rescind the sale and refund the purchase price. This is a non-assignable guarantee and applicable only to the receipt-bearing original purchaser. The guarantee does not apply to (a) property with a heading or description which includes the word or words "after", "attributed", "manor", "style", "school", "circle", “collection”, “bears signature”, or “complimentary signature”, (b) property listed under the heading or section “Decorative Arts” or “Fine Decorative Arts”, (c) lots with a low estimate of $500. or less, (d) lots offered without an estimate.
.<p>J. Aside from authorship, all property is sold "AS IS" without any warranties or representations by us or the Consignor as to the exactness or correctness of the catalogue, index, addendum, oral statement, or online description of the medium, date, state, edition, size, quality, physical condition, rarity, reference, importance, value, provenance, exhibitions, estimate, literature or historical relevance of any property. No statement anywhere, whether oral or written or online, whether made in the catalogue, sales agreement, sales-room posting or announcement, an advertisement, or elsewhere, shall be deemed such a warranty, representation, or assumption of liability. We and the Consignor make no representations and warranties whatsoever as to whether the buyer acquires any copyrights or reproduction rights in any property. Neither we nor the Consignor are responsible for omissions or errors in the catalogue, online description, or any other material.
.<p>K. The successful bidder recognized by the auctioneer will take title (subject to fulfillment of all of the conditions of sale) to the offered lot on the fall of the auctioneer's hammer, and (a) will assume full responsibility and risk thereof, and (b) will immediately pay the full purchase price or deposit as we may require. A late charge of 5 % per week of the total purchase price will be incurred by the purchaser if payment is not made within 7 days from the sale date. Seven days after the sale date (unless other agreed upon arrangements have been made), we can (a) apply late charges and storage fees, (b) cancel the sale, (c) auction or privately resell the property and apply the net proceeds after our selling commissions and expenses to satisfy the unpaid balance, or (d) effect any combination thereof. Any legal expenses incurred by us to collect any or all of the payment due to us will be charged to the purchaser. All property must be removed from the premises by the purchaser at their expense no later than one week after the date of sale unless other specific arrangements are made with us or shipping arrangements have been requested. Any item held by us after seven days may be stored or sent to a storage facility, without liability on our behalf, for a charge of 5 % of the total purchase price per day or ten dollars per day, whichever is greater. If the storage charges accumulate to an amount equal to or greater than the purchase price we can then auction or privately resell the property to satisfy the accumulated storage charges after our selling commissions and expenses.
.<p>L. These Conditions of Sale and Terms of Guarantee, as well as the buyer's and seller's respective rights and obligations hereunder, shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with laws of the State of California. By bidding at an auction or agreeing to purchase, whether present in person or by agent, absentee bid, online, telephone or other means, the purchaser shall be deemed to have consented to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts of, and the federal courts sitting in, the State of California.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
<p>Name of Artist: Subject to the Conditions of Sale set forth in this catalogue, each lot is identified to be the work of the artist whose name appears in BOLD TYPE HEADING. This heading may precede a single lot or a series of lots by the same artist (see article "I" in the Conditions of Sale And Terms of Guarantee.
<p>Title: If there is a generally accepted title for the work, that title is given at the beginning of the lot description. If the work does not have a title or the title is not known to us, a descriptive title is given instead.
<p>References: Whenever possible, standard catalogues of the artist's works are cited in parentheses following the title. This is done to facilitate identification and to indicate where the reader might seek further information with respect to any of the subjects mentioned below.
<p>Date: Unless otherwise indicated, we believe the date given is the date of execution of the work, plate or master. A date preceded by a "c." (circa) represents our best judgment of the approximate date.
<p>Medium: The primary medium is identified following the title, reference or date. The terms used are intended as general description and may not cover all the techniques employed by the artist.
<p>Signature: Unless otherwise indicated, a work is described as signed only if it has, in our opinion, a signature of the identified artist. The terms “bears signature” or “signed artist’s name” or “inscribed artist’s name” do not reflect our opinion that it is the signature of the identified artist.
