The buyer releases Miller & Miller from any and all claims for loss or damage to any item during transit and agrees to pay all costs of defense, including attorney's fees, for any claims brought against Miller & Miller for loss or damage occurring during transit.
• COMBINED SHIPPING - When possible consolidate multiple purchases in the same parcel to reduce shipping costs. However, it is the buyer's responsibility to pay for the shipping cost of every item purchased, as if they were being shipped individually. Combining shipments is an adjustment that takes place when we can determine which items (if any) can safely be shipped together.

• SHIPPING LARGE ITEMS (FREIGHT) - When items are above a certain weight, length, or volume, it is the bidder's responsibility to arrange 3rd party shipping.

There may be certain shipments that meet these requirements that will still require 3rd party shipping, and we will communicate the reason in those cases

Terms of Sale
To bid on a lot offered by Miller & Miller is to accept the following Terms of Sale. Whether or not you have read or understand any of the said terms, participation in the auction binds you to an agreement with these terms.
Condition of Items
Despite the efforts of Miller & Miller to accurately describe each item, these items are for sale "as is". It is the bidder's responsibility (present or absentee) to directly examine and appraise the item condition. Miller & Miller is not responsible for typographical errors. Neither we nor the consignor, make any guarantees, warranties, or representation expressed, or implied, related to the property, the correctness of the catalog or other description of the authenticity of authourship, physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibition, literature or historic relevance of the property or otherwise. No statement anywhere whether oral or written, shall be deemed such a guarantee, warranty or representation. It is the responsibility of potential buyer to inspect the property before bidding to determine its condition, size and whether or not it has been restored. So too, the bidder is responsible for making contact with Miller & Miller to uncover any information that might reveal more about the item(s).
Due to the age of the items we specialize in, all items are sold for the purposes of display, not functionality. If electrical, mechanical, or other working parts are found dysfunctional, (even if working at the time of sale) we are not liable.
Questions pertaining to upcoming auction items should be submitted at least 48 hours before the sale. We make every effort to answer all questions as quickly as we can, but we cannot promise that questions submitted 48-hours before the sale will be answered before the sale. Neither we, nor the consignor make any guarantee as to whether the purchaser can successfully acquire any reproduction rights in the property. Returns are not accepted under any circumstances. All items will be available for preview approximately three (3) weeks prior to the auction.
