1 DEFINITIONS
In these conditions Frank R Marshall & Co, who act only as auctioneers and agents for the vendor, are called 'the Auctioneers', and the representative of Frank R Marshall & Co conducting the auction is called 'the Auctioneer'.
2 GENERAL
Whilst Frank R Marshall & Co make every effort to ensure the accuracy of their catalogue and the description of any lot:

b) Frank R Marshall & Co do not accept responsibility for the authenticity, attribution, genuineness, origin, authorship, date, age, period, condition or quality of any lot, unless they have been instructed in writing by the vendor so to certify, and in such case the Auctioneers do so as agents of the vendor and are not themselves responsible for such claims.
c) All statements, whether printed in the catalogue or made orally, as to any of the matters set our in (b) above are statements of opinion only and are not to be taken as being or implying any warranties or representations of fact by Frank R Marshall & Co, unless they have been instructed in writing by the vendor so to certify, and in such case the Auctioneers do so as agents of the vendor and are not themselves responsible for such claims.
d) Any claim under any Statute must be received in writing by the Auctioneer within ten days of the day of the sale.
3 THE AUCTION
a) The Auctioneer has absolute discretion to divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots or to withdraw any lot or lots from the sale, to refuse bids, regulate bidding or cancel the sale without in any case giving any reason or without previous notice. He may bid on behalf of the vendor for all goods which are being offered subject to reserve or at the Auctioneers discretion.
b) The highest bidder shall be the buyer except in the case of a dispute. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen, he has absolute discretion to settle it or to re-offer the lot.

4 RESCISSION
Notwithstanding any other terms of these Conditions, if within fourteen days after the sale Frank R Marshall & Co have received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within twenty-one days after such notification the buyer returns the sale to Frank R Marshall & Co in the same condition as at the time of sale and by producing evidence, the burden of proof to be upon the buyer, satisfies Frank R Marshall & Co that considered in the light of entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery, then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded.
