<p>
Agent for Sale of Property. Unless otherwise stated, Sloan's is acting only as an agent for the consignor of property offered for sale, at auction or otherwise, in this catalogue (the "Property"). The consignor may either be the seller of the Property or an agent for the seller.
<p>
Property Sold by Lot. Property is sold by lot and all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue.
<p>
Agreement of Bidders and Purchasers. By bidding or buying at a sale, whether in person, through a representative, by written bid, online bid, telephone bid or other absentee bid, all bidders and purchasers agree to be bound by the Conditions of Sale.
<p>
2. Disclaimers Concerning the Property
<p>
As-Is. The consignor warrants good title to the purchaser. Sloan's makes no independent warranty of title. All Property is sold AS-IS, and all warranties, express or implied, including without limitation, the implied warranties of MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR PURPOSE ARE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMED BY SLOAN'S AND THE CONSIGNOR. Sloan's also disclaims all warranties arising from course of dealing and usage in the trade.
<p>
Descriptive Information. To the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, neither Sloan’s nor the consignor makes any representation or warranty with respect to the correctness or completeness of information about the Property, such as but not limited to the characteristics of age, condition, size, authenticity, genuineness, attribution, origin, quality, quantity, value, medium, material, period, culture, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibitions, literature or historical relevance of the Property. Neither Sloan's nor the consignor shall be liable, for damages or otherwise with respect to incorrect or incomplete information, except to the extent provided for in Paragraph 11 below.
<p>
Communications Not Intended as Binding. No information or statement communicated, at any time, to bidders or buyers by Sloan's (or its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives), orally or in writing, shall be deemed a legally binding representation or warranty (or assumption of liability) with respect to any of the above mentioned characteristics or other information about the Property, except to the extent applicable law specifically requires otherwise.
<p>
Inspection of Property. The Property is exhibited for inspection by bidders prior to the sale. It is the bidder's sole responsibility to be fully satisfied about the characteristics and condition of the Property, including matters relating to any restoration, repair or alteration of the Property. If a bidder or bidder's agent (not a Sloan's employee or representative) has not examined the Property, Sloan's recommends that bidder make no bid on the Property.
<p>
Intellectual Property Rights. No representation, express or implied, is made by Sloan's or the consignor as to whether or not a purchaser will acquire any reproduction rights, copyrights or other intellectual property rights in, or with respect to, the Property.
<p>
3. Sale to the Highest Bidder and Auctioneer's Determinations Final
<p>
Highest Bidder. Bidders are competing against other bidders who may be present in person at an auction or bidding by telephone, online or by other forms of absentee bids. A lot will be sold to the highest bidder as determined in the sole and exclusive judgment of the auctioneer.
<p>
Decision of Auctioneer Final. The auctioneer will also have the sole and exclusive power and authority, without liability, to (a) resolve any disputes between bidders, (b) determine whether to pass or re-offer any lot for sale, (c) reject or challenge any bid or advance in the bidding, and (d) otherwise regulate the bidding and its increments. If the auctioneer receives more than one bid of the same value, only the first received will be accepted. "Auctioneer" as used in these Conditions of Sale means an employee or representative of Sloan's duly licensed as an auctioneer or otherwise authorized by Sloan's to conduct an auction.
<p>
4. Buyer's Premium and Purchase Price
<p>
Buyer's Premium. All bidding at auction and purchases will be in U. S. Dollars. A buyer's premium in the amount of 17.5% of the successful high bid up to and including $50,000, and 10% of the successful high bid above $50,000 will be added to the amount of the successful bid price for all lots purchased at auction.
<p>
Purchase Price and Taxes. Upon the announcement by the auctioneer of the successful bidder, the purchaser will be responsible to pay the amount of the successful bid price, the buyer's premium, applicable taxes and other charges provided for in the Conditions of Sale. Applicable taxes shall include sales, use, excise, and other taxes or levies. Only valid resale certificates are accepted as proof of exemption from certain taxes for U. S. dealers. Foreign dealers should contact Sloan's accounting office concerning all tax matters. Sloan's will not release purchased lots until all tax requirements are satisfied.
<p>
5. Reserves
<p>
All lots marked “l” are offered subject to a reserve. A reserve is the confidential minimum price established between Sloan's and the consignor. The reserve is generally set at a percentage of the low estimate of the lot and will not exceed, in any case, the low estimate of the lot. Reserves do not include the buyer's premium, any applicable taxes or other charges. Sloan's prohibits consignors from bidding on their own property. The auctioneer may implement the reserve by bidding on behalf of the consignor at the auction. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the consignor and may continue bidding for the consignor by placing responsive or consecutive bids, but only up to the reserve. If bids on a lot fail to reach the reserve, the lot will be bought-in and withdrawn from sale. If Sloan's has an interest in the lot, Sloan's may bid up to the reserve to protect that interest.
<p>
6. Estimates
<p>
A range of estimates is given for each lot, with a low estimate and a high estimate. The estimates are merely guides for bidders and an opinion of Sloan's of the price a lot might bring at auction. Estimates are based, where possible, on prices that similar items have sold for in the past. The estimates are determined prior to the sale and are subject to revision to reflect changing market conditions. Estimates should not be relied on as a representation or prediction of the actual price a lot will be sold for. Actual selling prices could be significantly different from estimates. Sloan's will not be liable if the actual selling price is different from the estimate. Estimates do not include the buyer's premium, any applicable taxes or other charges.
<p>
7. Withdrawal of Property from Sale
<p>
Sloan's reserves the right to withdraw Property from sale for any reason and with no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal. If the auctioneer decides that any opening bid is below the reserve of the Property offered, the auctioneer may reject the bid and withdraw the Property from sale.

If the consignor fails to honor the written demand for a refund of the balance of the purchase price, Sloan's shall immediately furnish purchaser the name and address of the consignor, and shall assign to purchaser all of Sloan's rights for the return of the balance of the purchase price of the affected lot. Upon this disclosure and assignment, Sloan's will have no further liability to purchaser or responsibility to pursue the purchaser's claim. Sloan's will extend its reasonable cooperation to purchaser, provided that such cooperation does not require out-of-pocket expenditures by Sloan's.
<p>

<p>
Exclusive Remedy. Purchaser acknowledges and expressly agrees that the provisions of this Paragraph 11 state the sole and exclusive remedy available to a purchaser in the event of a nonconformity in Property purchased, and Sloan's will not be liable for damages of any kind, except to the extent provided above, including without limitation, any compensatory, direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages, whether or not caused by Sloan's fault or negligence, except to the extent applicable law does not permit Sloan's to exclude such liability.

12. Rescission by Sloan's
<p>
In the event Sloan's receives notice of an adverse claim with respect to purchased Property, Sloan's shall have the right (but not the obligation), in its sole and absolute discretion, to rescind the sale to purchaser, upon written notice to purchaser. Upon such notice, purchaser will promptly return the purchased Property to Sloan's premises where purchased in the same condition as when purchased. Sloan's will then promptly refund the purchase price, including the buyer's premium and applicable taxes. Purchaser will have no further recourse against Sloan's or the consignor, and Sloan's and the consignor shall not be liable for any damages of any nature suffered by the purchaser, whether or not resulting from the fault or negligence of Sloan's or the consignor.

Placing Absentee Bids

Buy or unlimited bids will not be accepted. Always indicate a top limit––the high amount you would be willing to bid if you were present at the auction. Always place your bids in the same order as the lot numbers appear in the catalogue. All absentee bid forms for telephone or written bids must be signed.
<p>
Each absentee bid form should contain bids only for one sale. The particular sale should be indicated at the appropriate place on the bid form. Please place your bid as early as possible. In the event of identical bids, the earliest received will take priority.

Telephone Bids
Bids may be placed by telephone during the sale, but are accepted only at Sloan's discretion and at the caller's risk. You may make arrangements before a sale for a Sloan's telephone bidder to contact you at a telephone number of your designation in order for you to participate in the bidding on particular lot(s). By bidding on the telephone, prospective purchasers consent and agree to the Conditions of Sale and other Terms and Conditions. Telephone bidding is a convenience offered to Sloan's customers and while we make every effort to execute your instructions regarding your telephone bidding, Sloan's is not liable or responsible for any errors or failure to execute such instructions.

Telephone Absentee Bids
Sloan's recommends that all absentee bids submitted via telephone be confirmed in writing using the absentee bidding form in this catalogue, online or obtainable from the Sloan's Business Office. If absentee bidding instructions are given to Sloan's and its representatives via telephone, but not confirmed in writing, the same instructions as for written absentee bidding shall apply. Further, by offering any absentee bid, whether in writing, online or via telephone, the bidder accepts and agrees to the Conditions of Sale for the auction.
