<p>CONDITIONS OF SALE - PLEASE READ
<p>Please be sure to read the conditions before participating in the sale.
For years, we have worked hard to develop a reputation for honesty and
fairness. We have tried to apply this same principle in preparing this
particular sale. So that you might know what the limitations are for this
sale, we have tried to clearly outline the conditions below, which will
specifically indicate how various circumstances will be handled.
<p>1. GUARANTEE - We have attempted to make a consistent effort in cataloging
and correctly describing the property to be sold. The catalog descriptions
carry a limited guarantee. Please be sure that you know that. It is a
guarantee to protect you against major discrepancies that would have a major
effect upon the value of the item. Under no circumstances do we guarantee
against anything less than a major discrepancies that would have less than a
major effect upon value. This limited guarantee covers authenticity. It also
covers any major restoration or repair not described. Also we guarantee
against fakes, reproductions or major fabrications. As outlined above, our
guarantee is limited, however, it is almost unique in a business that
operates "Caveat Emptor". This is not a perfect system, however, and it is
important to be aware of that. Our intention is to be as fair as possible in
our catalog descriptions but it is virtually impossible to adequately
describe an antique or collectible item that has been used and shows signs
of wear. If you a discerning, highly particular customer, expecting mint or
near mint condition, it is advisable that you not ever submit absentee bids
here or at any auction house without seeing the item in person. Since your
definition of condition might be far more particular than what any cataloger
would have time or space to specify. The entire purpose of our catalog
description is to give our readers a general description and idea of what
the lot is and we will stand behind that description regarding a major
discrepancy only. If the discrepancy is less than a major discrepancy, under
no circumstances would any adjustment or refund be made. Should the need
arise, the auctioneer reserves the right to make verbal corrections and
provide additional information from the block at the time of the sale.
Absentee bids will not be executed on items that are found to be other than
described in the catalog unless we were able to contact you prior to the lot
being sold and advise of this discrepancy. If we are unable to reach you or
if time does not permit, we will not execute your bid. Please Note that the
only thing we guarantee is what is in print in the catalog and what is
announced from the block at the time of sale. Absolutely nothing discussed
over the telephone or in person prior to the auction shall be construed as
part of the guarantee. Since opinions can differ, particularly in the matter
of condition, the auctioneer will be the sole judge in the matter of
refunds. This guarantee is limited to the following time duration and
limits. Please read:
<p>A. TIME LIMIT: For live bidders it is expected that you have examined the
items before you purchased them and that as you pick them up, you will
re-examine them one last time. If there is a problem regarding condition, it
is expected that you would notify us immediately before leaving the auction
facility. If you are an absentee bidder then it is your responsibility to
examine the lot immediately upon receipt. If a major discrepancy should be
discovered, it is your responsibility to contact us immediately. Please
Note: All guarantees and options for refunds or adjustment become null and
void 44 days after the auction. We pay consignors on the 45th day. Once we
have paid our consignors we no longer have control for the payment and under
no circumstances can we consider any refunds. If you suspect that there is a
major discrepancy or problem with authenticity of your lot, it is your
responsibility to contact our office before the 44 days are up and let us
know that you need some extra time. We can usually make arrangements to
extend the guarantee for a few days if you personally advise us. Please
Note: If you pay late and thus, receive your items late, it does not qualify
for special privileges. The guarantee is null and void 44 days after the
auction. It is your responsibility to pay for and acquire your purchases in
a timely fashion. So if there is a major discrepancy, you have time to
notify our office. Please remember that if you call us 46 days after the
auction, there is nothing we can do about a major discrepancy except
apologize to you. If you want to be considered for an adjustment or refund,
it is your responsibility to notify us with 44 days after the auction.
<p>B. LIMIT OF RESTITUTION: Under no circumstances will the auctioneer be
responsible for lost profits or other financial damages. Refunds requested
on the grounds of authenticity must be accompanied by at least a supporting
written statement from an authority recognized by the auctioneers.
Auctioneer will not be responsible for shipping costs, after auction
appraisal fees, testing or any other post auction costs. If it is agreed
that an item may be returned, it is the buyer's responsibility to return it
in the same condition as received.
<p>C. TYPE OF RESTITUTION: An item that qualifies for an adjustment is limited
to one of the following options:
<p>1) Major problems, (i.e. fakes, significant alteration, major unannounced
restoration, etc.) will result in full money back refund or adjustment in
sale price or repair by the auctioneer. The auctioneer shall be the judge as
to the final resolve.
<p>2) Less than major problems or discrepancies are not part of the guarantee
and no refund or adjustment will be considered for less than major problems.
<p>2. RECEIPT OF GOODS - All goods sold will be tagged and can be claimed upon
presentation of paid receipts ONLY. All items to be wrapped will be wrapped
by the purchaser.
<p>3. PROTESTED BIDS - In case of a disputed bid, the Auctioneer is the sole
determinant as to who is the successful bidder and at his discretion may
re-offer and resell the article in dispute.
<p>4. TAX - State of Maine sales tax is 5% and will be collected at time of
payment unless a sales tax number is on file.
<p>5. NOMINAL BIDS - The Auctioneer may reject nominal bids, small opening bids
or very nominal advances made with purpose of disparaging an item. If a lot
fails to open for 25% to 30% of the low estimate, the item may be passed
from the block by the Auctioneer and may not be re-offered until a later
sale.
<p>6. ABSENTEE BIDS - Phone, fax or mail bids, will be accepted with a 20%
deposit, late bids or last minute bids can be confirmed with a Visa or
MasterCard number, in many cases. In such case, the bookkeeper will execute
such bids competitively. It is entirely possible to buy items by absentee
bid for less than your top bid price. Please note; Absentee bids are a
service provided to our customers free of charge. Every effort is made to
execute all absentee bids; however, you must know that this is not a perfect
system neither here nor at any other auction house. In the event of an error
of omission or failure to properly execute absentee bids, the auctioneer
shall not be held liable.
<p>7. TERMS - All items are to paid for in American funds at the day of the
auction. Non-residents who have not established an account with us and wish
to pay by check, must do so prior to the beginning of the auction by
presenting a current letter of reference from their bank or by providing
references which are suitable to the auctioneer. Absentee Bidders - Directly
after the auction a bill will be sent to you for the items you purchased and
a total amount due. This bill is due upon presentation and must be paid
immediately. The auctioneer reserves the right to hold merchandise purchased
by personal check until the check has cleared the bank, if the auctioneer
deems such action necessary to protect his interest.
<p>8. INTEREST AND DEFAULT - Payment is due upon receipt. Interest will be
charged on all balances not paid at the rate of 1-1/2% monthly (18% APR)
effective 15 days from the date of purchase/auction. Should the buyer not
comply with any of the Conditions of Sale, the damage recoverable from the
defaulter shall include any loss arising on the resale of the lot, together
with the charges and expenses in respect of both sales. James D. Julia, Inc.
shall hold any money deposited in partial payment on account of any
liability of the defaulted item. Customer is also liable for any legal fees
incurred in the collection of this account.
<p>9. RESERVES - Some items in this auction may carry a conservative reserve.
Therefore, the auctioneer may bid on behalf of the owner or for the auction
house. The purchaser will be the highest bidder acknowledged by the
auctioneer. Please note that when a lot carries a reserve, the reserve is
usually somewhere below the low estimate in the catalog. Actual reserve
figures cannot be divulged, but we will tell you if an item carries a
reserve should you ask.
<p>10. WITHDRAWAL - We reserve the right to withdraw any property before sale
and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal.
<p>11. TITLE - A title passes upon the fall of the Auctioneer's hammer. It will
then be the responsibility of the buyer to make full payment prior to
removing the goods from the premises. It is both the buyer's risk and
expense for removal and must be made at the conclusion of the sale unless
other arrangements are made with the Julia's Operations Manager. Please note
any lots we might make arrangements for moving or storing are solely at the
risk of the owner and any damage or loss occurring after the fall of the
hammer becomes that of the buyer.
<p>12. PHONE BIDS - At the discretion of the auctioneer, phone bidding may be
arranged on more expensive items, (i.e. $500 or more). In order to make
arrangements to bid on the telephone at the time a lot is being sold, you
must contact our office in advance of the auction. We will make arrangements
to call you just prior to the lot being sold so that you may bid over the
telephone. There are usually a limited number of phone lines available into
the room, so if you wish to bid over the telephone, it is important for you
to make your arrangements early. "Cover-me Bids": No absentee bid system is
perfect, there will always be some mistakes. Your best bet is to be present
at the auction, however, if you can't and you wish to bid by telephone, to
help ensure your participation, you might want to consider a "cover-me bid"
at the time you make arrangements for phone bidding. A "cover-me bid" allows
your phone contact here at Julia's to still execute a bid for you even if
they can't get through to you on the telephone. Your phone agent is the only
person who will have this bid and will only use it to bid in the event that
he/she cannot reach you. Assuming you are reached via telephone, they would
not use your bid and while you are on the phone you can bid greater or
lesser than your "cover-me bid". "Cover-me bids" are not mandatory, you can
place one at your discretion, they are simply a safety device in the event
you cannot be reached by telephone in time.
<p>13. AGENT RESPONSIBILITY - If you are registering or executing a bid for
someone else under your number, please bear in mind that you are responsible
for the settlement of that account with us regardless of whether the person
you're executing or registering for pays you or not.
<p>14. BUYER'S PREMIUM - Shall be 20% of the final bid price which will be
applied to each lot sold, to be paid by the buyer as part of the purchase
price.
<p>15. LEGAL DISPUTE - Any legal disputes arising from this auction shall be
settled in the court system in the State of Maine.
<p>16. UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE - The Maine Uniform Commercial Code, Title 11,
Section 2-328 applies to this auction sale.
<p>17. ACCEPTANCE OF CONDITIONS - Bidding on article(s) indicates your
acceptance of all of the above terms.
<p>18. MAINE AUCTIONEER RULES AND REGULATIONS - The Maine Auctioneer Rules and
regulations are regulated by the Maine Board of Licensing of Auctioneers, 35
State House Station, Augusta, Maine 04333.
