Neither the Galleries nor the Consignor makes any guarantees, warranties or representations, expressed or implied, with respect to the description, authorship, authenticity, merchantability, fitness, value, physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibitions, literature or historical relevance of any property offered for sale or the correctness or accuracy of any catalogue provided by the Galleries. No statement anywhere, whether oral or written, shall be deemed such a guarantee, warranty or representation. Prospective bidders should inspect the property before bidding to determine anything that may be of significance to them, including, without limitation, the property's condition, size, authenticity, value and whether or not it has been repaired or restored. The Galleries and the Consignor make no representation or warranty as to whether the purchaser acquires any reproduction rights in any property.
<p>2. However, if within 30 calendar days after the sale of any lot the purchaser gives notice in writing to the Galleries that the lot is counterfeit and within 14 calendar days after such notice the purchaser returns the lot to the Galleries in the same condition as when sold, and the purchaser, also within 14 calendar days after such notice, demonstrates to the Galleries' satisfaction, by providing properly executed and notarized affidavits by two (2) recognized scholars or experts in that particular field in which the lot is categorized, that it is counterfeit, the Galleries will refund the full purchase price.

In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt on the Galleries' part as to the validity of any bid, the auctioneer will have the absolute discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Galleries' sale record is conclusive. Although in the Galleries' discretion it may execute order bids or accept telephone bids as a convenience to bidders who are not present at auctions, the Galleries is not required to do so and is not responsible for any errors or omissions in connection therewith.
<p> 7. If the auctioneer decides that any opening bid is below the value of the item offered, he may reject the same and withdraw the article from sale, and if, having acknowledged an opening bid, he decides that any advance thereafter is insufficient, he may reject the advance.
<p> 8. On the fall of the auctioneer's hammer, title to the offered lot will pass to the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer, subject to fulfillment by such bidder of all the conditions set forth herein, and such bidder thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility therefore, (b) will pay the full purchase price the day of the auction, or such part as the Galleries may accept, and (c) will remove the property from the Galleries' premises at his expense not later than 3 business days following its sale. If any portion of the purchase price is not paid when due, it shall bear interest at the rate of 1½% per month.
<p> 9.

In addition, a defaulting purchaser hereby grants to the Galleries a security interest in, and it may retain as collateral security for such purchaser's obligations, any property in the Galleries' possession owned by such purchaser. The Galleries shall have all of the rights afforded a secured party under provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code applicable in the State of Florida with respect to such property and the Galleries may apply against such obligations all monies held or received by the Galleries for the account of, or due from the Galleries to, such purchaser. At the Galleries' option, payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until the Galleries have collected funds represented by checks, or, in the case of bank or cashier's checks, the Galleries have confirmed their authenticity.
