<p>For years, Curt D Johnson Auction Company has worked hard to develop a Christian reputation for honesty and fairness. We have tried to apply this same principle in preparing this particular sale. So that you might know what the limitations are for this sale, we have tried to clearly outline the conditions below, which will specifically indicate how various circumstances will be handled. If you have any questions regarding the terms and conditions please email us at david@curtdjohnson.com.
<p>Curt D Johnson Auction Company has strenuously researched to accurately describe all items being sold, but all property herein offered for sale is strictly “as is” and it is the bidder’s responsibility to determine the exact condition of each item. This also covers any major restoration or repair not described. Also we guarantee against fakes, reproductions or major fabrications. As outlined above, our guarantee is limited; however, it is almost unique in a business that operates “Caveat Emptor”. This is not a perfect system, however, and it is important for you to be aware of that. Our intention is to be as fair as possible in our descriptions but it is virtually impossible to adequately describe an antique or collectible item that has been used and shows signs of wear. If you are a discerning, highly particular customer, expecting mint or near mint condition, it is advisable that you never submit absentee bids here or at any auction house without seeing the item in person, since your definition of condition might be far more particular than what any cataloger would have time or space to specify. The entire purpose of our catalog description is to give our readers a general description and idea of what the lot is and we will stand behind that description regarding a major discrepancy only. If the discrepancy is less than a major discrepancy, under no circumstances would any adjustment or refund be made. Should the need arise; the auctioneer reserves the right to make verbal corrections and provide additional information from the block at the time of the sale. Absentee bids will not be executed on items that are found to be other than that listed in the catalog. Bill of sale or invoice shall be deemed to be a warranty, representation, or assumption of liability with respect to age, condition, size, quality, variety, importance, provenance, or historical relevance of any of these items. Any such statements are strictly matters of opinion. The only thing we guarantee is what is in print in the catalog and what is announced from the block at the time of sale. The guarantee does not apply to (a) property with a heading or description which includes the word or words "after", "attributed", "manor", "style", "school", "circle", “collection”, “bears signature”, or “complimentary signature”, (b) property listed under the heading or section “Decorative Arts” or “Fine Decorative Arts”, (c) lots with a low estimate of $500. or less, (d) lots offered without an estimate. Absolutely nothing discussed over the telephone or in person prior to the auction shall be construed as part of the guarantee.
<p>PLEASE NOTE: If you pay late and thus, receive your items late, it does not qualify for special privileges. The guarantee is null and void 15 business days after the auction. It is your responsibility to pay for and acquire your purchases in a timely fashion.
<p>All bidders and others attending this auction agree that they have read and fully understand these terms and agree to be bound thereby.
<p>All bidders are required to have a Bidder’s Number and must give us positive identification of driver’s license number, full name, address, and phone number.
<p><strong>TIME LIMIT: </strong>For live bidders it is expected that you have examined the items before you purchased them and that as you pick them up, you will re-examine them one last time. If there is a problem regarding condition, it is expected that you would notify us immediately before leaving the auction facility. If you are an absentee bidder then it is your responsibility to examine the lot immediately upon receipt. If a major discrepancy should be discovered, it is your responsibility to contact us immediately. Please note: All guarantees and options for refunds or adjustment become null and void 15 days after the auction. We pay consignors on the 15th day. Once we have paid our consignors we no longer have control for the payment and under no circumstances can we consider any refunds. If you suspect that there is a major discrepancy or problem with authenticity of your lot, it is your responsibility to contact our office before the 15 days are up and let us know that you need some extra time. We can usually make arrangements to extend the guarantee for a few days if you personally advise us. Please note: If you pay late and thus, receive your items late, it does not qualify for special privileges. The guarantee is null and void 15 days after the auction. It is your responsibility to pay for and acquire your purchases in a timely fashion. So if there is a major discrepancy, you have time to notify our office. Please remember that if you call us 16 days after the auction, there is nothing we can do about a major discrepancy except apologize to you. If you want to be considered for an adjustment or refund, it is your responsibility to notify us with 14 days after the auction.
<p><strong>LIMIT OF RESTITUTION: </strong>Under no circumstances will Curt D Johnson Auction Company or the auctioneer be responsible for lost profits or other financial damages.

If it is agreed that an item may be returned, it is the buyer’s responsibility to return it in the same condition as received.
<p><strong>NOMINAL BIDS:</strong> The Auctioneer may reject nominal bids, small opening bids or very nominal advances made with purpose of disparaging an item.

The decision of the auctioneer shall be final and absolute. Some items of property may be offered subject to a “reserve” or confidential minimum price below which the item will not be sold.
