All property is sold "AS IS". All sales are final. No guarantees, warranties, refunds or exchanges (except at LFA's discretion). All condition issues must be raised within 7 days of receipt of item in writing to LFA. At their discretion, LFA will make a judgment based on information pertaining to claim. Every effort has been made to catalog all items accurately, but LFA does not guarantee the correctness of the descriptions, approximate ages, materials, tribal designations, amount of repair or restoration, usage conditions or defects. LFA strongly recommends close review of pictures and/or in person inspection of items.
A buyer premium will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the purchaser as part of the total purchase price. If paying by cash, check or credit card, the purchase price will be the sum of the final bid price plus a buyer's premium of 25% of the final bid price of each lot, plus any applicable sales tax, shipping and handling charges. Convenience fee will apply on all credit card purchases.
Unless exempted by law, the Buyer will be required to pay all applicable state and local sales, gross receipts, and compensation tax. Proof of exemption in form of a current Non-Taxable transaction Certificate must be provided at registration.
LFA reserves the right to withdraw any lot before or during the sale and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal.
Except as may be announced by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot, as numbered in the catalogue.
LFA reserves the right to reject any bid. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the Buyer, subject to reserves. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt as to the validity of any bid, the auctioneer will have the final discretion to determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale, or reoffer and resell the lot in dispute.

LFA, in its discretion, may execute orders or absentee bids as a convenience to clients who are not present at the auction; however, LFA is not responsible for any errors or omissions in connection therewith.
