3) Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. Packing and shipping is offered on some lots (as indicated in the lot description) by the auctioneer, acting as agent. Buyer agrees to hold auctioneer harmless for any and all damages. Prices quoted are for packing and shipping within the continental United States by a carrier of the auctioneer's choice and does not include insurance. We will advise you of insurance charges after the sale. If we ship the items, they must be insured. Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse to pack and ship any lot. If shipping fees are not included with payment purchased lots must be shipped by a 3rd party. Items are shipped in the order payment is received and cleared. Buyer may use any third party packing and shipping service to deliver any purchases provided purchases are paid for within five days and picked up within three weeks. We will not be held responsible for accidents or other damage for property left in our possession more than 21 days after auction. We do not provide packing and shipping for international buyers, but we recommend The UPS Store, Newtown, CT, email: store1324@theupsstore.com .
4) The Auctioneer is acting as agent only and is not responsible for acts of its principals. If any dispute arises, the Auctioneer's word is final.
5) Where the Consignor is indebted to or has a monetary guarantee from Fairfield Auction, and in certain other instances, Auctioneer may have
an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds there from other than its commissions, and may bid therefore to protect its own interests. Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lots from the sale or cancel a sale at the Auctioneer's discretion. The Auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid or eject any person from the premises.
6. Though all description and commentary are believed to be correct, neither Auctioneer or Consignor makes any warranties or representations
of any kind with respect to merchandise with the exception of the catalog description which shall be honored with respect to age and origin and only to the extent that any such errors in the catalog description materially affect the value of such item. Condition reports are made to the best of our ability, but are not guaranteed. Buyer shall not rely on the Auctioneer, employees, or advertisements in any part, and must rely only on the catalog description and his own inspection and opinions of all items. No employee is authorized to make any warranties, expressed or implied, on behalf of Fairfield Auction. All inquiries should be made by the Friday prior to sale by 3pm. Condition reports are to the best of our knowledge and all framed artwork is not inspected out of the frame unless stated.
Guarantee is limited to bold and capitalized portion of catalog description. Additional description reflects our best opinion. Any and all claims made to Fairfield Auction or consignor regarding age, authenticity, origin, rarity, provenance, size, or other aspects of description must be made within 10 days of auction. Where there is any doubt whatsoever this may require a wire transfer payment and expedited shipping so there is time to obtain an expert opinion. Please plan accordingly. Our liability is limited to the selling price and to errors that are substantial to value. We can not refund shipping or insurance costs. Claims must be made against the final catalog as revised by any addendum or auctioneer announcements. Claims may not be made against advertisements, website descriptions, or the preliminary catalog offered on our website. Items described as "possibly", "probably" or "attributed to" are not guaranteed, but represent our best opinion. When the term "bearing" preceeds the description of a mark or signature it is in our opinion NOT the work of that artist or maker. No guarantees are made as to condition. ALL MECHANICAL ITEMS- SUCH AS CLOCKS AND MUSIC BOXES ARE SOLD AS-IS. We can not be held responsible for these items not being in working condition after leaving our building.
7. Removal shall be at the expense, liability and risk of the purchaser. All arrangements for removal must be at convenience of Fairfield Auction. We can suggest names and phone numbers of appropriate firms to assist with delivery. If arrangements can't be made within 21 days of sale, a storage fee of $50 per lot plus $5 per day thereafter shall be charged. After 30 days items shall be deemed abandoned. Auctioneer shall apply any deposit or payment to loss, damages, and expenses incurred in the storage and resale of goods not paid for in full or removed in the time specified and shall retain any balance as liquidated damages.
8. Due to the fact this is a live auction with bidders in the gallery, on the phone, absentee(in the gallery) and on the internet you may place a bid absentee on Ebay and still not prevail when the selling price is the same or, in some cases, lower than that bid. The reason for this is that the auctioneer takes bids from where he/she sees them first. A person relays internet bids to the auctioneer and sometimes the auctioneer will see one of the other bids (gallery, phone or gallery absentee) first. If the Ebay record of an auction shows the Ebay bidder at the top of the bids, but has a floor bidder at the same price THE FLOOR BIDDER BOUGHT IT. This occurs at every live auction where internet bids are handled- usually several times every auction. The fact that Ebay says the earlier bid takes precedence is only true for bids placed on Ebay. The auctioneer in a live auction DOES NOT KNOW YOUR TOP BID and, in fact, doesn't know whether your bid is absentee or in real time. IF YOU EMAIL ABOUT THIS ISSUE YOU WILL BE DIRECTED TO THIS PARAGRAPH. We will not return calls on this issue. If you need further explanation call Icollector. Also some bids may be delayed due to data transmission (and human transmission) so that the auctioneer never recognizes a bid from the internet. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid because it was neccessary to reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid). The auctioneer is the final determination on who is the winning bidder- NOT THE INTERNET CLERK or EBAY RECORD OF BIDS.
All items sold AS IS, WHERE IS. ALL SALES FINAL.
