<p>The following as amended by any posted notices or oral announcements during the sale, constitutes the entire terms and
conditions on which property listed in the catalogue shall be offered for sale or sold by Dallas Auction Gallery, Ltd. (“DAG”)
and any consignor of such property for whom DAG has acted as agent. By bidding at an auction, whether in person or by agent,
absentee bid, telephone or other means, the purchaser or bidder agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions of Sale.
<b>TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE</b>
<p>
<p>1. DAG exercised great care to catalogue every lot correctly and
will attempt to point out any defects at the time of sale but will
not be responsible or liable for the correctness of the catalogue
or other description of the lot. Paintings are ascribed to given
artists only upon exercise of our best judgment or that of an
outside expert; no unqualified statement as to authorship is made.
DAG suggests that the prospective bidder seek the advice of his
own expert before bidding on any particular lot. DAG makes no
representation or warranty as to whether the purchaser acquires
any copyrights, including but not limited to, any reproduction
rights in the property. To be certain of condition, please exam-ine
the items in person. All measurements are approximate.
<p>2. All property is sold “AS IS, WHERE IS” and neither DAG nor
the consignor makes any warranties or representations of any
kind or nature with respect to property or its value, and in no
event shall be responsible for the correctness of description,
genuineness, attribution, provenance, authenticity, authorship,
completeness, condition of property or estimate of value. No
statement (oral or written) in this catalog, at the sale, or else-where
shall be deemed such a warranty or representation, or
any assumption of responsibility.
<p>3. The successful bidder is the highest bidder acknowledged by
the auctioneer. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or
in the event of doubt on DAG’s part as to the validity of any bid,
the auctioneer will have the final discretion either to determine
the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the article in dis-pute.
If any dispute arises after the sale, DAG’s sale record is
conclusive.
<p>4. The purchaser assumes full responsibility for items at the fall
of the hammer.
<p>5. As a convenience to customers, absentee bids and phone bids
will be executed by DAG personnel in a competitive and con-fidential
manner. Phone bid arrangements must be made 24
hours prior to start of the auction. DAG will not be responsible
for failure to execute absentee or phone bids.
<p>6. There will be a premium of 15% added to the hammer price of
each lot and it will be considered part of the total purchase
price.
<p>7. All purchases will be subject to an 8.25% Texas sales tax un-less
the purchaser possesses a valid tax-exempt number. DAG
must have a blanket exemption certificate with permit number
and signature on any tax exempt sale. No Exceptions!
<p>8. All items purchased must be paid for in full on the date of the
auction or immediately upon notification of a successful left
or phone bid, in cash, personal or company check with proper
ID, cashiers check, travelers checks, or by MasterCard, Visa
or American Express.
<p>9. The auction house reserves the right to hold property until
checks clear. Purchasers intending to purchase expensive lots
should discuss payment prior to day of sale.
<p>10. Arrangements for shipping and storage should be made prior
to the auction and will be at the purchaser’s expense. All prop-erty
shall be removed from our premises at the purchaser’s
expense not later than 5:00 p.m. of the fifth business day fol-lowing
the date of the sale. Items not removed by the specified
time and date will be assessed a handling fee of $25.00 per
item per day until removal, payable to DAG. Please Note –
Removal deadlines are strictly enforced.
<p>11. If we are prevented by fire, theft, or any other reason whatso-ever
from delivering any property to the purchaser, our liabil-ity
shall be limited to the sum actually paid, by the purchaser
for such property.
<p>12. Some of the lots in this sale are offered subject to a reserve. The
reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by a con-signor
and DAG below which the lot will not be sold. A repre-sentative
of DAG will execute such reserves by bidding for the
consignor. After a lot has been auctioned, but has failed to sell
because it has not reached the reserve, DAG, at its discretion,
may reveal the reserve to prospective post-sale purchasers. Con-signors
shall not be permitted to bid on their own items.
<p>13. DAG reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time before
the auction without liability.
<p>14. The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid not com-mensurate
with the value of the property offered.
<p>15. A range of estimates is given on each lot with a low and a high
estimate. Estimates should not be relied on as a prediction of
the actual selling price.
<p>16. If any applicable conditions herein are not complied with by the
purchaser, in addition to other remedies available to it by law,
including without limitation the right to hold the purchaser
liable for the total purchase price, DAG at its option may
either (a) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all
payments made by the purchaser or (b) resell the property at
public auction without reserve or minimum selling price, and
the purchaser will be liable for any deficiency and costs, in-cluding
handling charges, expenses of both sales, the commis-sion
on both sales at regular rates, all other charges due hereun-der
and incidental damages.
<p>17. These terms and conditions of sale, as well as the respective rights
and obligations of DAG and any purchasers or bidder at any
sale of DAG, shall be governed by and construed and enforced
in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.
<p>18. The auctioneer is licensed and regulated by the Department of
Licensing and Regulation. Licensure with the Department does
not imply approval or endorsement by the State of Texas. If you
have an unresolved complaint, it should be directed to: Texas
Department of Licensing and Regulation, P.O. Box 12157, Aus-tin, Texas 78711, 512-463-6599. Auctioneer’s License #13769
