</b><p ALIGN="LEFT"><b>We encourage you to call us with questions about our service or
items in our auctions. Make certaIn that you are satisfied with our description
before you bid! </b>Your satisfaction with both our merchandise and our auction
house is important to us. We try to describe all auction lots completely,
fairly, and conservatively, and we make a concerted effort to include defects in
descriptions. The lots listed in each auction will be offered by DeFina Auctions
to the following terms and conditions: The property is sold "as is", and neither
the auctioneer nor any consignor makes any warranties or representations of any
kind or nature, and in no event shall be responsible for the correctness, nor
deemed to have made any representation or warranty of description, genuineness,
authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or
condition of the property, and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill or
sale or invoice, or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty or representation
of an assumption of liability. All measures and weights are approximate. Defina
Auctions reserves the right to reject any bid, as well as the right to refuse to
acknowledge any bidder. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will
be the purchaser. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has
the final discretion to re-offer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after
the sale, DeFina Auctions, sale record shall be conclusive.</p>

<p ALIGN="LEFT">TERMS OF SALE</p>
</b>
<p ALIGN="LEFT">Cash or checks are accepted with positive identification; out of
state checks will need a bank letter of credit. All purchases are subject to
state tax, unless the buyer has proof of exemption. Gallery bidders must pay for
items at the end of each session. We must receive payment from absentee, phone,
and online bidders within one week of the auction.</p>

<b>
<p ALIGN="LEFT">ABSENTEE AND TELEPHONE BIDDING</p>
</b>
<p ALIGN="LEFT">If you are interested in absentee or telephone bidding, please
e-mail or fax your name and phone number to us. We will call you. When we do
call, you will need a Visa or MasterCard number to verify your identity. For
absentee bidders, we will execute the bids in a competitive manner, and bid on
your behalf as though you were in attendance. We will not be held responsible
for failing to execute bids. We extend this service as a courtesy to our
customers who cannot attend the sale or who do not wish to be identified as
bidders. All bids will be held in strict confidence. </p>
<p ALIGN="LEFT">Misunderstandings can arise when an absentee bidder is
unsuccessful and loses an item to an identical bid or a bid less than the one
left. This situation can occur as a result of the monetary bidding increments to
which we adhere.</p>
<p ALIGN="LEFT">To help prevent such a situation, we suggest that absentee
bidders place a +1 after their bid. By adding a +1, you give the representative
bidder the authority to go one more bid on your behalf.</p>
<p ALIGN="LEFT">We do not accept absentee bids under $25.</p>
