We will offer the property in Lots. By bidding at any of our auctions, whether in person or by agent, by written or any other means, you the

1. ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD “AS IS” AND ALL SALES ARE FINAL. All property is described to the best of our knowledge; however, neither we

importance, authorship, provenance, medium, period, origin, or estimated value of any lot sold, unless and excepting as may be provided for
in a specific Limited Sale (date) Guarantee published in the sale catalogue. The absence of any reference to the condition of property does
not imply perfect or imperfect condition. Except for a specific Limited Sale (date) Guarantee, no statement anywhere, whether oral or

reject that bid and withdraw the lot from sale. If the auctioneer acknowledges an opening bid, and later decides that any advance bid is
insufficient, he may reject that advance. If the auctioneer does not receive or accept an advance bid beyond an opening bid he then at his
discretion MAY PASS AND NOT SELL A LOT.
5. SOME LOTS ARE OFFERED SUBJECT TO RESERVE, which is a confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. We may
implement such reserves by bidding on behalf of the consignor.
6. The HIGHEST BIDDER ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE AUCTIONEER WILL BE THE PURCHASER. In the event of a bidding dispute, the auctioneer
has final discretion to determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale, or to re-offer and resell the disputed lot. If a dispute arises after the
sale our sale record is conclusive and final.

omissions in that connection.

purchaser. We are not responsible for the acts of movers or packers and any packing or handling by us is at the entire risk of the purchaser.
