<p>1. Jos. C. O’Neal & Sons Auctioneers & Appraisers has strenuously researched to accurately describe all items being sold, but all property herein offered for sale is strictly "as is" and it is the bidder's responsibility to determine the exact condition of each item. No statement in this catalog, bill of sale or invoice shall be deemed to be a warranty, representation, or assumption of liability with respect to age, condition, size, quality, variety, importance, provenance, or historical relevance of any of these items. Any such statements are strictly matters of opinion. Since the buyer’s 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 in fact a minor 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 you of this discrepancy. If we are unable to reach you or if time does not permit, we will not execute your bid.

If you are an absentee bidder then it is your responsibility to examine the lot immediately upon receipt.

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 15 business days are up and let us know that you need some extra time.
