<p>SMITH AND BENJAMIN TERMS OF GUARANTEE
<p>Smith & Benjamin warrants the authenticity of Authorship of each lot contained in this catalogue on the terms and conditions set forth below:
<p>1. Definition of Authorship. "Authorship" is defined as the creator, period, culture, source of origin, as the case may be, as set forth in the BOLD TYPE HEADING of a lot in this catalogue, as amended by any oral or written salesroom notices or announcements. If there is a "Glossary" of terms in this catalogue, please note that any such heading represents a qualified statement or opinion and is not subject to these Terms of Guarantee. Smith & Benjamin makes no warranties, whether express or implied, with respect to any material in the catalogue, other than that appearing in the BOLD TYPE HEADING and subject to the exclusions in 5 and 6 below.
<p>2. Guarantee Coverage. Subject to the exclusions in 5 and 6 below, Smith & Benjamin warrants the Authorship (as defined above) of a lot for a period of five years from the date of sale of such lot and only to the original purchaser of record at the auction. If it is determined to Smith & Benjamin satisfaction that the BOLD TYPE HEADING is incorrect, the sale will be rescinded as set forth in 3 and 4 below, provided the lot is returned to Smith & Benjamin at the original selling location in the same condition in which it was at the time of sale. It is Smith & Benjamin's general policy, and Smith & Benjamin shall have the right to have the purchaser obtain, at the purchaser's expense, the opinion of two recognized experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Smith & Benjamin and the purchaser, before Smith & Benjamin determines whether to rescind a sale under the above warranty.
<p>3. Non-Assign ability. The benefits of this warranty are not assignable and shall be applicable only to the original purchaser of record and not to any subsequent owners (including, without limitation, heirs, successors, beneficiaries or assigns) who have, or may acquire, an interest in any purchased property.
<p>4. Sole Remedy. It is specifically understood and agreed that the rescission of a sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid (the successful bid price, plus the buyer's premium) is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of law, or in equity. Smith & Benjamin and the Consignor shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages incurred or claimed.
<p>5. Exclusions. This warranty does not apply to: (i) Authorship or any paintings, drawings or sculpture created prior to 1870, unless the lot is determined to be a counterfeit (a modern forgery intended to deceive) which has a value at the date of the claim for recession which is materially less than the purchase price paid for the lot; or (ii) any catalogue description where it was specifically mentioned that there is a conflict of specialist opinion on the Authorship of a lot; or (iii) Authorship which on the date of sale was in accordance with the then generally accepted opinion of scholars and specialists; or (iv) the identification of periods or dates of execution which may be proven inaccurate by means of scientific process not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue, or which were unreasonably expensive or impractical to use.
<p>6. Limited Warranty. As stated in paragraph 1 of the Conditions of Sale, neither Smith & Benjamin nor the Consignor makes any express or implied representations or warranties whatsoever concerning any property in the catalogue, including without limitation, any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, except as specifically proven herein.
