Heritage Weekly Internet Auctions (Coin, Currency, Comics, Jewelry, and Vintage Movie Posters); Heritage Monthly Internet Auctions (Sports, World Coins, and Rare Wine) are conducted solely on the Internet. Signature® Auctions accept bids from the Internet, telephone, fax, or mail first, followed by a floor bidding session; HeritageLive! and real-time telephone bidding are available to registered clients during these auctions.
Bidders:
4. Any person participating or registering for the Auction agrees to be bound by and accepts these Terms and Conditions of Auction (?Bidder(s)?).
5. All Bidders must meet Auctioneer?s qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good standing of the Auctioneer may be disqualified at Auctioneer?s sole option and will not be awarded lots. Such determination may be made by Auctioneer in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. Auctioneer reserves the right to exclude any person from the auction.
6. If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid.
Credit:
7. In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established credit with the Auctioneer must either furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) or supply valid credit card information along with a social security number, well in advance of the Auction. Internet bids will only be accepted from pre-registered Bidders. Bidders who are not members of our site or affiliates should preregister at least 48 hours before the start of the first session (exclusive of holidays or weekends) to allow adequate time to contact references. Credit will be granted at the discretion of Auctioneer. Auctioneer may, in its sole discretion, require a deposit in good funds of twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of each bid prior to acceptance of the bid. Additionally Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of their established credit history may be required to provide their social security so a credit check may be performed prior to Auctioneer?s acceptance of a bid. Settlement via check and immediate delivery of merchandise may also be determined by pre-approval of credit based on a combination of: history, related industry references, bank verification, a credit bureau report and/or a personal guarantee for a corporate or partnership entity in advance of the auction.
Bidding Options:
8. Bids in Signature® Auctions may be placed as set forth in the printed catalog section entitled ?Choose your bidding method.? For auctions held solely on the Internet, see the alternatives on our website.
9. Presentment of Bids: Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to podium, fax, phone and mail bids) and floor bids must be on-increment or at a half increment (?Cut Bid?). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment and this revised amount will be considered your high bid.
10. Auctioneer?s Execution of Certain Bids. Auctioneer cannot be responsible for your errors in bidding or entry of bids. When identical mail or fax bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, written bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and received by Auctioneer at least two business days prior to Auction start. Auctioneer is not responsible for executing mail bids or fax bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids submitted after the published closing time; nor is Auctioneer responsible for proper execution of bids submitted by telephone, mail, fax, email, Internet, or in person once Auction begins. Bids placed electronically via the internet may not be withdrawn until your written request is received and acknowledged by Auctioneer (FAX: 214-409-1425); such requests must state the reason, and may constitute grounds for withdrawal of bidding privileges. Lots won by mail Bidders will not be delivered at the Auction unless prearranged.
11. Bid Increments. Bid increments (over the current bid level) determine the lowest amount you may bid on a particular lot. Bids greater than one increment over the current bid can be any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be between increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment. Please see: ?How can I lose by less than an increment?? on our website. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No ?buy? or ?unlimited? bids will be accepted.
Current bidding increments during any live auction session or components thereof (e.g. mail/fax bids and LiveProxy bidding) are:
Current Bid .......................... Bid Increment Current Bid ............................ Bid Increment
= $10,000,000 ..................................... $200,000
Note: Half-increment bidding is available prior to the live auction session.
12. If Auctioneer calls for a full increment, Bidder may request Auctioneer to accept a Cut Bid only once per lot. After offering a Cut Bid, Bidder may continue to bid on lot only at full increments. Off-increment bids may be accepted by the Auctioneer at Signature® Auctions. Bids solicited by Auctioneer at other than the expected increment will not be considered Cut Bids.
Conducting the Auction:
13. Notice of the consignor?s liberty to place bids on his lots in the Auction is hereby made in accordance with Article 2 of the Texas Business and Commercial Code. A ?Minimum Bid? is an amount below which the lot will not sell. THE CONSIGNOR OF PROPERTY MAY PLACE WRITTEN ?Minimum Bids? ON HIS LOTS IN
ADVANCE OF THE AUCTION; ON SUCH LOTS, IF THE HAMMER PRICE DOES NOT MEET THE ?Minimum Bid?, THE CONSIGNOR MAY PAY A REDUCED COMMISSION ON THOSE LOTS. ?Minimum Bids? are generally posted online several days prior to the Auction closing. Any successful bid placed by a consignor on his property on the Auction floor, by any means during the live session, or after the ?Minimum Bid? for an Auction have been posted, will require the consignor to pay full Buyer?s Premium and Seller?s Commissions on such lot. Auctioneer or its affiliates expressly reserve the right to modify any such bids at any time prior to the hammer based upon data made known to the Auctioneer or its affiliates.
14. The highest qualified Bidder recognized by the Auctioneer shall be the Buyer. In the event of a tie bid, the earliest bid received or recognized wins. In the event of any dispute between any Bidders at an Auction, Auctioneer may at his sole discretion reoffer the lot. Auctioneer?s decision and declaration of the winning Bidder shall be final and binding upon all Bidders. Bids properly offered, whether by floor Bidder or other means of bidding, may on occasion be missed or go unrecognized; in such cases, the Auctioneer may declare the recognized bid accepted as the winning bid, regardless of whether a competing bid may have been higher. Auctioneer reserves the right after the hammer fall to accept bids and reopen bidding for bids placed through the Internet or otherwise. Regardless of placed bids, Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot, or any part of a lot, from Auction at any time prior to the opening of any such lot by the auctioneer (crier), or in the case of Internet-only auctions when the bid opens for either live Internet bidding or the beginning of any extended period.
15. Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse to honor any bid or to limit the amount of any bid, in its sole discretion. A bid is considered not made in ?Good Faith? when made by an insolvent or irresponsible person, a person under the age of eighteen, or is not supported by satisfactory credit, references, or otherwise. Regardless of the disclosure of his identity, any bid by a consignor or his agent on a lot consigned by him is deemed to be made in ?Good Faith.? Any person apparently appearing on the OFAC list is not eligible to bid.
16. Nominal Bids. The Auctioneer in its sole discretion may reject nominal bids, small opening bids, or very nominal advances.
17. Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneer?s discretion (generally 40%-60% of the low estimate). In the event that no bid meets or exceeds that opening amount, the lot shall pass as unsold or the Auctioneer may place a protective bid on behalf of the consignor.
18. All items are to be purchased per lot as numerically indicated and no lots will be broken.
19. Auctioneer reserves the right to rescind the sale in the event of nonpayment, breach of a warranty, disputed ownership, auctioneer?s clerical error or omission in exercising bids and reserves, or for any other reason and in Auctioneer?s sole discretion.
20. Auctioneer occasionally experiences Internet and/or Server service outages, and Auctioneer periodically schedules system downtime for maintenance and other purposes, during which Bidders cannot participate or place bids. If such outages occur, bidding may be extended at Auctioneer?s discretion. Bidders unable to place their bids through the Internet are directed to contact Client Services at 877-HERITAGE (437-4824).
21. The Auctioneer, its affiliates, or their employees consign items to be sold in the Auction, and may bid on those lots or any other lots.
22. The Auctioneer may extend advances, guarantees, or loans to certain consignors.
23. The Auctioneer has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction. Such lots shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such sales including but not limited to the Buyer?s Premium, return rights, and disclaimers.
Payment:
24. All sales are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier checks, travelers checks, eChecks, and bank money orders, and are subject to all reporting requirements). All deliveries are subject to good funds; funds being received in Auctioneer?s account before delivery of the merchandise; and all payments are subject to a clearing period. Auctioneer reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes ?good funds?: checks drawn on a U.S. bank are subject to a ten business day hold, thirty days when drawn on an international bank. Clients with pre-arranged credit may receive immediate credit for payments via eCheck, personal, or corporate checks. All others will be subject to a hold of 5 business days, or more, for the funds to clear prior to releasing merchandise. (Ref. T&C item 7 Credit for additional information.) Payments can be made 24-48 hours post auction from the My Orders page of the website. Payment via credit card (Visa, Mastercard, and Discover) will be accepted upon prior approval by Auctioneer. All payments by credit card will incur a surcharge of 2.5%. Payment by eCheck, wire transfer, or check will not incur a surcharge. This fee only applies to credit transactions, and does not exceed Auctioneer?s cost of processing.
25. Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. Auctioneer reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within 7 days after Auction close. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneer?s election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees (seller?s and buyer?s premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot or Auctioneer. Alternatively, Auctioneer at its sole option, may charge a twenty (20%) fee based on the amount of the purchase. In either case the Auctioneer may offset amount of its claim against any monies owing to the Bidder or secure its claim against any of the Bidder?s properties held by the Auctioneer.
26. Purchased lots may be subject to taxes or fees imposed by various foreign taxing agencies. Buyer is responsible for paying all foreign imposed taxes whether VAT, GST, etc. prior to delivery unless other arrangements are made in writing. Lots delivered to Buyer, or Buyer?s representative are subject to all applicable state and local taxes, unless appropriate permits are on file with Auctioneer. Should state sales tax become applicable in the state for delivery prior to delivery of the property on the invoice, Buyer agrees to pay all applicable state sales tax as required by the delivery state as of the shipping date. Buyer agrees to pay Auctioneer the actual amount of tax due in the event that sales tax is not properly collected due to: 1) an expired, inaccurate, or inappropriate tax certificate or declaration, 2) an incorrect interpretation of the applicable statute, 3) or any other reason. The appropriate form or certificate must be on file at and verified by Auctioneer five days prior to Auction, or tax must be paid; only if such form or certificate is received by Auctioneer within 4 days after Auction can a refund of tax paid be made. Lots from different Auctions may not be aggregated for sales tax purposes.
27. In the event that Buyer?s payment is dishonored upon presentment(s), Buyer shall pay the maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable state law. If Buyer attempts to pay via eCheck and Buyer?s financial institution denies this bank account, or the payment cannot be completed using the selected funding source, Buyer agrees to complete payment using your credit card on file (subject to the surcharge detailed in paragraph 24).
28. If any Auction invoice submitted by Auctioneer is not paid in full when due, the unpaid balance will bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law from the date of invoice until paid. Any invoice not paid when due will bear a three percent (3%) late fee on the invoice amount. If the Auctioneer refers any invoice to an attorney for collection, Buyer agrees to pay attorney?s fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by Auctioneer. If Auctioneer assigns collection to its in-house legal staff, such attorney?s time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys.
29. In the event Buyer fails to pay any amounts due, Auctioneer reserves the right to sell the lot(s) securing the invoice to any underbidders in the Auction that the lot(s) appeared, or at subsequent private or public sale, or relist the lot(s) in a future auction conducted by Auctioneer. A defaulting Buyer agrees to pay for the reasonable costs of resale (including a 15% seller?s commission, if consigned to an auction conducted by Auctioneer). The defaulting Buyer is liable to pay any difference between his total original invoice for the lot(s), plus any applicable interest, and the net proceeds for the lot(s) if sold at private sale or the subsequent hammer price of the lot(s) less the 15% seller?s commissions, if sold at an Auctioneer?s auction.
30. Title shall not pass to Buyer until all invoices are paid in full. Auctioneer shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by Buyer to secure payment of any and all outstanding Auction invoices. Auctioneer is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any other property of Buyer then held by Auctioneer or its affiliates to secure payment of any Auction invoice or any other amounts due Auctioneer or affiliates from Buyer. With respect to these lien rights, Auctioneer shall have all the rights of a secured creditor under Article 9 of the Texas Uniform Commercial Code, including but not limited to the right of sale
(including a 15% seller?s commission, if consigned to an auction conducted by Auctioneer). Any Heritage foreclosure auction venue, whether or not the same venue as when the debt was incurred (e.g. Signature, Internet, or weekly), is deemed a reasonably commercial sale. In addition, with respect to payment of the Auction invoice(s), Buyer waives any and all rights of offset he might otherwise have against Auctioneer and the consignor of the merchandise included on the invoice. If Buyer owes Auctioneer or its affiliates on any account, Auctioneer and its affiliates shall have the right to offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Buyer, and it may secure by possessory lien any unpaid amount by any of the Buyer?s property in their possession.
Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges:
31. Buyer is liable for all shipping, handling, registration, and renewal fees, if any. Please refer to Auctioneer?s website for the latest charges or call Auctioneer. Auctioneer is unable to combine purchases from other auctions or affiliates into one package for shipping purposes. Merchandise will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the merchandise and the shipping fees is received or credit extended, except when third-party shipment occurs. Buyer on lots designated for third-party shipment must designate the common carrier, accept risk of loss, and prepay shipping costs. Buyer agrees that Service and Handling charges related to shipping items which are not pre-paid may be charged to the credit card on file with Auctioneer (subject to the surcharge detailed in paragraph 24).
32. Successful international Bidders shall provide written shipping instructions, including specified customs declarations, to Auctioneer for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States. NOTE: Declaration value shall be the item?(s) hammer price together with its buyer?s premium and Auctioneer shall use the correct harmonized code for the lot.
33. On all shipments in which Auctioneer charges the Delivery, Handling, and Transit Fee infra, any risk of loss during shipment will be borne by Auctioneer until the common carrier?s confirmation of delivery to the address of record in Auctioneer?s file, this is the ?Secure Location?. A common carrier?s confirmation is conclusive to prove delivery to Buyer; if the client has a Signature release on file with the carrier, the package is considered delivered without Signature. Auctioneer shall arrange, select, and engage common carriers and other transportation vendors on your behalf. Transit services are subject to the following terms and conditions:
a. Scope of Transit Services: Merchandise for transit will be insured under one or more insurance policies issued by an authorized broker to Auctioneer. The merchandise will be insured for the invoice price of the properties (hammer price plus Buyer?s Premium) (?Insured Value?). For each shipment, Buyer will provide a Secure Location to which the items will be delivered. NOTICE: Auctioneer is neither an insurance company nor a common carrier of any type.
b. Auctioneer?s Compensation for Transit Services: Auctioneer will provide transit services to Buyer for ¾ of 1% of the Insured Value, plus packaging and handling fees and fees for the common carrier (collectively, ?Delivery, Handling, and Transit Fee?). Buyer agrees to pay Delivery, Handling, and Transit Fee and comply with all terms of payment as set forth herein.
c. Auctioneer?s Limitation of Liability for Transit Services: Buyer understands and agrees that Auctioneer?s liability for loss of or damage to the items, if any, ends when the items have been delivered to the Secure Location, and Auctioneer has received evidence of delivery. Any claim that property has sustained loss or damage during transit must be reported to Auctioneer within seventy-two (72) hours of the delivery date. Any recovery for loss of or damage to any merchandise is limited to the lesser of actual cash value of the merchandise or the Insured Value. Under no circumstances is Auctioneer liable for consequential or punitive damages.
34. It shall be the responsibility for Buyer to arrange pick-up or shipping in a timely manner (within 10 days). Merchandise will be subject to storage and moving charges, including a $100 administration fee plus $10 daily storage for larger items and $5 daily for smaller items (storage fee per item) after 35 days. In the event the merchandise is not removed within ninety days, the merchandise may be offered for sale to recover any past due storage or moving fees, including a 20% Seller?s Commission.
35. A. NOTICE OF CITES COMPLIANCE: The purchase of items made from protected species: Any property made of or incorporating endangered or protected species or wildlife may have import and/or export restrictions established by the Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in various countries and domestically. Plant and animal properties include (but are not limited to) items made of (or including) Brazilian rosewood, ivory, whalebone, turtle shell, coral, crocodile, alligator, lizard, or other wildlife. These items may not be available to ship internationally or, in some cases, domestically. Domestic bans and restrictions exist in these states: 1) California state law prohibits the importation of any product containing Python skin into the State of California, thus no lot containing Python skin will be shipped to or invoiced to a person or company in California. 2) Fossil Ivory is currently banned or restricted in 5 U.S. states: New York, New Jersey, California, Hawaii, and New Mexico. By placing a bid, the bidder acknowledges that he or she is aware of any restriction in their country or place of residence and takes responsibility for: 1) obtaining all information on such restricted items for both export and import; 2) obtaining all such licenses and/or permits. Delay, failure, or incapacity to obtain any such license or permit does not relieve the buyer of timely payment or afford them the capacity to void their purchase or payment. Lots containing potentially regulated wildlife material are noted in the description as a convenience to our clients. Heritage Auctions does not accept liability for errors or failure to mark lots containing protected or regulated species. For further assistance, please contact client services at 1-800-872-6467.
35. B. California State law prohibits the importation of any product containing Python skin into the State of California. No merchandise containing Python skin will be shipped to or invoiced to a person or company in California.
35. C. Auctioneer shall not be liable for any loss caused by or resulting from:
a. Seizure or destruction under quarantine or Customs regulation, or confiscation by order of any Government or public authority, or risks of contraband or illegal transportation of trade, or
b. Breakage of statuary, marble, glassware, bric-a-brac, porcelains, jewelry, and similar fragile articles.
36. Any request for shipping verification for undelivered packages must be made within 30 days of shipment by Auctioneer.

COINS and CURRENCY TERM D: Coins sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold ?as is? without any express or implied warranty, except for a guarantee by Auctioneer that they are genuine. Certain warranties may be available from the grading services and the Bidder is referred to them for further details: Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), P.O.

Kenton St. Ste. 303, Englewood, CO 80111; and Independent Coin Grading Co. (ICG), 7901 East Belleview Ave., Suite 50, Englewood, CO 80111.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM E: Notes sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold ?as is? without any express or implied warranty, except for guarantee by Auctioneer that they are genuine. Grading, condition or other attributes of any lot may have a material effect on its value, and the opinion of others, including third-party grading services such as PCGS Currency and PMG may differ with that of Auctioneer. Auctioneer shall not be bound by any prior or subsequent opinion, determination, or certification by any grading service. Bidder specifically waives any claim to right of return of any item because of the opinion, determination, or certification, or lack thereof, by any grading service.

In any such instance, purchaser?s remedy, if any, shall be solely against the service certifying the collectible.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM H: Due to changing grading standards over time, differing interpretations, and to possible mishandling of items by subsequent owners, Auctioneer reserves the right to grade items differently than shown on certificates from any grading service that accompany the items. Auctioneer also reserves the right to grade items differently than the grades shown in the prior catalog should such items be reconsigned to any future auction.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM I: Although consensus grading is employed by most grading services, it should be noted as aforesaid that grading is not an exact science. In fact, it is entirely possible that if a lot is broken out of a plastic holder and resubmitted to another grading service or even to the same service, the lot could come back with a different grade assigned.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM J: Certification does not guarantee protection against the normal risks associated with potentially volatile markets. The degree of liquidity for certified coins and collectibles will vary according to general market conditions and the particular lot involved. For some lots there may be no active market at all at certain points in time.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM K: All non-certified coins and currency are guaranteed genuine, but are not guaranteed as to grade, since grading is a matter of opinion, an art and not a science, and therefore the opinion rendered by the Auctioneer or any third party grading service may not agree with the opinion of others (including trained experts), and the same expert may not grade the same item with the same grade at two different times. Auctioneer has graded the noncertified numismatic items, in the Auctioneer?s opinion, to their current interpretation of the American Numismatic Association?s standards as of the date the catalog was prepared. There is no guarantee or warranty implied or expressed that the grading standards utilized by the Auctioneer will meet the standards of any grading service at any time in the future.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM L: Storage of purchased coins and currency: Purchasers are advised that certain types of plastic may react with a coin?s metal or transfer plasticizer to notes and may cause damage. Caution should be used to avoid storage in materials that are not inert.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM M: NOTE: Purchasers of rare coins or currency through Heritage have available the option of arbitration by the Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG); if an election is not made within ten (10) days of an unresolved dispute, Auctioneer may elect either PNG or A.A.A. Arbitration.

SPORTS COLLECTIBLES TERM E: On any lot presented with a Letter of Authenticity (?LOA?) issued by Auctioneer or its Heritage affiliates, that warranty inures only to the original purchaser (as shown in Auctioneer?s records) ?Purchaser?. Purchaser may not transfer the rights afforded under the LOA and it is null and void when Purchaser transfers or attempts to transfer the lot. The LOA warranty is valid from date of the auction in which Purchaser was awarded the lot to four (4) years after its purchase. The LOA warranty is valid as to its attribution to the person or entity described or to the lot?s usage, e.g. game worn. Claim procedure: Purchaser must contact the Auctioneer prior to submission of the lot as to his intent to make a claim and arrange secure shipment. If a lot?s authenticity is questioned by Purchaser within the warranty period, Purchaser must present with the claim, authoritative written evidence that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the sports field. If Auctioneer concurs that the lot is not as represented, Purchaser shall be refunded their purchase price. If the Auctioneer denies the claim, the Purchaser may file the dispute with the American Arbitration Association with locale in Dallas, Texas, before a single arbitration under expedited rules. The LOA does not provide for incidental or consequential damages or other indirect damages. Any lot sold with a certificate of authenticity or other warranty from an entity other than Auctioneer or Heritage?s affiliates is subject to such issuing entity?s rules and such conditions are the sole remedy afforded to purchaser. For information as to third party authentication warranties the bidder is directed to: PSA/DNA, 7000 Barranca Pkwy., Irvine, CA 92618; JT Sports, 3 South Granville Ave., Suite 103, Margate, NJ 08402; MEARS, 1234 East Manitoba Ave., South Milwaukee, WI 53172; JO Sports, P.O.

SPORTS COLLECTIBLES TERM F: Bidders who intend to challenge authenticity or provenance of a lot must notify Auctioneer in writing within thirty (30) days of the Auction?s conclusion. In the event Auctioneer cannot deliver the lot or subsequently it is established that the lot lacks title, provenance, authenticity, or other transfer or condition issue is claimed, Auctioneer?s liability shall be limited to rescission of sale and refund of purchase price; in no case shall Auctioneer?s maximum liability exceed the high bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the lot. After one year has elapsed, Auctioneer?s maximum liability shall be limited to any commissions and fees Auctioneer earned on that lot.
SPORTS COLLECTIBLES TERM G: Auctioneer shall not be liable for any patent or latent defect or controversy pertaining to or arising from any encapsulated collectible. In any such instance, purchaser?s remedy, if any, shall be solely against the service certifying the collectible.
SPORTS COLLECTIBLES TERM H: Due to changing grading standards over time, differing interpretations, and to possible mishandling of items by subsequent owners, Auctioneer reserves the right to grade items differently than shown on certificates from any grading service that accompany the items. Auctioneer also reserves the right to grade items differently than the grades shown in the prior catalog should such items be reconsigned to any future auction.
SPORTS COLLECTIBLES TERM I: Although consensus grading is employed by most third-party services, it should be noted as aforesaid that grading is not an exact science. In fact, it is entirely possible that if a lot is broken out of a plastic holder and resubmitted to another grading service or even to the same service, the lot could come back with a different grade assigned.
SPORTS COLLECTIBLES TERM J: Financing. Auctioneer offers various extended payment options to qualified pre-approved persons and companies. The options include Extended Payment Programs (EPP) Flexible Payment Program (FPP) and Dealer Terms. Each program has its specific terms and conditions and such terms and conditions are strictly enforced. Each program has to be executed by the purchaser. Auctioneer reserves the right to alter or deny credit and in such case these auction terms shall control.

Additional Terms & Conditions
COMICS, COMIC ART, & ANIMATION ART AUCTIONS
COMICS, COMIC ART, & ANIMATION ART TERM A: Signature® Auctions are not on approval. All material is guaranteed genuine, but are not guaranteed as to grade. No certified material may be returned because of possible differences of opinion with respect to the grade offered by any third-party organization, dealer, or service. No guarantee of grade is offered for uncertified Property sold and subsequently submitted to a third-party grading service. There are absolutely no exceptions to this policy. Under extremely limited circumstances, (e.g. gross cataloging error) a purchaser, who did not bid from the floor, may request Auctioneer to evaluate voiding a sale; such request must be made in writing detailing the alleged gross error, and submission of the lot to the Auctioneer must be pre-approved by the Auctioneer. A bidder must notify the appropriate department head (check the inside front cover of the catalog or our website for a listing of department heads) in writing of such request within three (3) days of the non-floor bidder?s receipt of the lot. Any lot that is to be evaluated must be in our offices within 30 days after Auction. Grading does not qualify for this evaluation process nor do such complaints constitute a basis to challenge the authenticity of a lot. AFTER THAT 30-DAY PERIOD, NO LOTS MAY BE RETURNED FOR REASONS OTHER THAN AUTHENTICITY. Lots returned must be housed intact in the original holder. No lots purchased by floor Bidders may be returned (including those Bidders acting as agents for others). Late remittance for purchases may be considered just cause to revoke all return privileges.
COMICS, COMIC ART, & ANIMATION ART TERM B: Auctions conducted solely on the Internet have a THREE (3) DAY RETURN POLICY: Lots paid for within seven days of the Auction closing are sold with a three (3) day return privilege.

Airport Freeway, Dallas TX 75261. Lots must be housed intact in their original holder and condition. Purchaser is responsible for the insured, safe delivery of any lots. A non-negotiable return fee of 5% of the purchase price ($10 per lot minimum) will be deducted from the refund for each returned lot or billed directly. Postage and handling fees are not refunded. After the three-day period (from receipt), no items may be returned for any reason. Late remittance for purchases revokes all Return-Restock privileges.
COMICS, COMIC ART, & ANIMATION ART TERM C: Bidders who have inspected the lots prior to the auction will not be granted any return privileges.
COMICS, COMIC ART, & ANIMATION ART TERM D: Material sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold ?as is? without our grading opinion and without any express or implied warranty.

Auctioneer shall not be liable for any patent or latent defect or controversy pertaining to or arising from any encapsulated material. Certain warranties may be available from the grading services and Purchaser?s sole remedy shall be against the service grading the material. Purchaser is referred to relevant grading service for further details: Certified Guaranty Company, LLC (CGC), P.O. Box 4738, Sarasota, FL 34230; Comic Book Certification Service (CBCS), 4635 McEwen Road, Dallas, TX 75244; Beckett Grading Services, 4635 McEwen Road, Farmers Branch, TX 75244; Professional Sports Authenticator, P.O.

Even when the best shipping methods are used, CGC, CBCS, and Wata holders occasionally incur minor chipping and cracking during shipment; therefore, Heritage cannot guarantee the condition of these holders. If they are damaged in transit, Heritage will have them reholdered on the new owner?s behalf, or reimburse reasonable anticipated reholder fees, but will not accept returns due to holder damage that does not affect the grade or condition of the item itself.
COMICS, COMIC ART, & ANIMATION ART TERM E: Bidders who intend to challenge authenticity or provenance of a lot must notify Auctioneer in writing within thirty (30) days of the Auction?s conclusion. In the event Auctioneer cannot deliver the lot or subsequently it is established that the lot lacks title, provenance, authenticity, or other transfer or condition issue is claimed, Auctioneer?s liability shall be limited to rescission of sale and refund of purchase price; in no case shall Auctioneer?s maximum liability exceed the high bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the lot. After one year has elapsed, Auctioneer?s maximum liability shall be limited to any commissions and fees Auctioneer earned on that lot.
COMICS, COMIC ART, & ANIMATION ART TERM F: Due to changing grading standards over time, differing interpretations, and to possible mishandling of items by subsequent owners, Auctioneer reserves the right to grade items differently than shown on certificates from any grading service that accompany the items.

COMICS, COMIC ART, & ANIMATION ART TERM H: Certification does not guarantee protection against the normal risks associated with potentially volatile markets. The degree of liquidity for certified material will vary according to general market conditions and the particular lot involved. For some lots there may be no active market at all at certain points in time.
COMICS, COMIC ART, & ANIMATION ART I: Financing. Auctioneer offers various extended payment options to qualified pre-approved persons and companies.

JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY AUCTIONS
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM A: JEWELRY: As most jewelry sold at auction has been worn, and may have been previously repaired, altered, or embellished, ALL LOTS are sold AS IS. Such wear, repairs or changes may display varying levels of evidence, so it is the responsibility of each prospective bidder to fully inspect each lot before bidding and rely upon their own judgment prior to placing a bid. Bidder acknowledges that the absence of any reference to their condition does not imply the absence of wear, repairs, or defects.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM B: WATCHES: As most watches sold at auction have been worn, and may have been previously repaired, altered, or embellished, ALL LOTS are sold AS IS. Such wear, repairs or changes may display varying levels of evidence, so it is the responsibility of each prospective bidder to fully inspect each lot before bidding and rely upon their own judgment prior to placing a bid. Bidder acknowledges that the absence of any reference to their condition does not imply the absence of wear, repairs, or defects. No item shall be considered eligible for return unless its original Heritage security tag remains attached and intact.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM C: All descriptions and statements in this catalog and subsequent invoices regarding measurement, authorship, source or origin, or other aspects are qualified opines and do not constitute a warranty or representation, and are provided for identification purposes only. Auctioneer warrants only such authorship, period or culture of each lot is as set out in the BOLD faced type heading in the catalog description of the lot, with the following exclusions: this warranty does not apply to any catalog description where it was specifically mentioned that there is a conflict of specialist opinion on the authorship of a lot; or authorship which on the date of Auction was in accordance with the then generally accepted opinion of scholars and specialists, despite the subsequent discovery of new information, whether historical or physical, concerning the artist or craftsman, his students, school, workshop or followers; or opines which may be proven inaccurate by means of scientific processes not generally accepted for use or which were unreasonably expensive or impractical to use at the time of publication of the catalog. Such limited warranty as to authorship is provided for a period of one (1) year from the date of the auction and is only for the benefit of the original purchaser of record and is not transferable, and any claim regarding a bold-faced provision must be accompanied by two written letters by independent and authorized appraisers in support of the claim. It is specifically understood that any refund agreed to by the Auctioneer would be limited to the purchase price.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM D: The Auction is not on approval. Under extremely limited circumstances not including authenticity (e.g. gross cataloging error), a purchaser who did not bid from the floor may request Auctioneer to evaluate voiding a sale; such request must be made in writing detailing the alleged gross error, and submission of the lot to Auctioneer must be pre-approved by Auctioneer. A bidder must notify the appropriate department head (check the inside front cover of the catalog or our website for a listing of department heads) in writing of the purchaser?s request within three (3) days of the non-floor bidder?s receipt of the lot. Any lot that is to be evaluated for return must be received in our offices within 30 days after Auction. AFTER THAT 30 DAY PERIOD, NO LOT MAY BE RETURNED FOR ANY REASONS. Lots returned must be in the same condition as when sold and must include any Certificate of Authenticity. No lots purchased by floor bidders may be returned (including those bidders acting as agents for others). Late remittance for purchases may be considered just cause to revoke all return privileges.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM E: Pre-auction estimates of value or ?bidding estimates? are opines provided solely as a convenience to clients, and should only be used as approximations of current market value. Estimates do not include Buyer?s Premiums or sales tax.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM F: In the event Auctioneer cannot deliver the lot or subsequently it is established that the lot lacks title or the bold faced section of description is incorrect, or other transfer or condition issue is claimed, Auctioneer?s liability shall be limited to rescission of sale and refund of purchase price; in no case shall Auctioneer?s maximum liability exceed the high bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the lot. After one year has elapsed, Auctioneer?s maximum liability shall be limited to any commissions and fees Auctioneer earned on that lot.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM G: Provenance and authenticity are not guaranteed by the consignor or the Auctioneer. While every effort is made to determine provenance and authenticity, it is the responsibility of the Bidder to arrive at their own conclusion prior to bidding. Provenance or other information regarding history of ownership may be provided if known, or may be excluded at the request of the consignor.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM H: On the fall of Auctioneer?s hammer, Buyers assume full risk and responsibility for lot, including shipment by common carrier or third-party shipper, and must provide their own insurance coverage for shipments.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM I: Watches in waterproof and water-resistant cases have been opened to identify type and condition. Auctioneer cannot guarantee that the watches are waterproof or water-resistant at the time of purchase. Buyers are advised to have the watches checked by a competent watchmaker with respect to such attributes.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM J: All dimensions in catalog descriptions are approximate.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM K: Condition reports are provided as a service to clients. Buyers should note that descriptions of property are not warranties and that watches may need general service, change of battery or further repair work for which the buyer is solely responsible.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM L: Watch bands made from protected species (i.e. alligator, crocodile) and items made of ivory and tortoise may be subject to restrictions in certain countries.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM M: Any property made of or incorporating endangered or protected species or wildlife may have import and export restrictions established by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). These items are not available to ship Internationally or in some cases, domestically. By placing a bid the bidder acknowledges that he is aware of the restriction and takes responsibility in obtaining and paying for any license or permits relevant to delivery of the product. Lots containing potentially regulated wildlife material are noted in the description as a convenience to our clients. Heritage Auctions does not accept liability for errors or for failure to mark lots containing protected or regulated species.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM N: Descriptions of Handbags, Purses, and Wallets may denote that the hardware is ?gold? or ?silver?. Such terms refer to the metal color of the hardware, rather than that the hardware is made of a precious metal. Unless there is specific mention as to carat weight or precious metal weight of the hardware, all descriptions using the terms ?gold? or ?silver? are descriptive of color of the hardware, not a reference to the hardware being made or platted with a precious metal.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM O: California State law prohibits the importation of any product containing Python skin into the State of California, thus no lot containing Python skin will be shipped to or invoiced to a person or company in California.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM P: Jewelry items presented may contain melee-size synthetic (lab-grown) diamonds mixed in with natural stones in finished jewelry. At the present time, there is no cost effective, time efficient method for testing mounted, synthetic diamonds. Although Heritage Auctions performs standard screening procedures within the limitations of the mounting, detection of synthetic diamonds may only be possible through advanced laboratory testing. As such, no right of return or price adjustment shall be made on the basis that the item contains or may contain melee-size diamonds.

WINE AUCTIONS
WINE TERM A: Bidder?s Age: You must be at least 21 years of age to participate in our auctions.
WINE TERM B: Descriptions: While Auctioneer has attempted to describe all property as accurately as possible, such description is based upon a physical inspection and observation. Auctioneer does not warrant or represent, and denies responsibility for the accuracy of the descriptions, encompassing but not limited to, vintage, provenance, authenticity, quality and condition as may be stated on the site. Any and all statements made relating to the property offered on the site are merely statement of opinion and at no time can be construed as warranties and representations of fact or assumptions of any liability on the part of Auctioneer.

WINE TERM C: Lots sold ?AS IS? ?WHEREAS?: Buyer accepts all purchases ?AS IS? and ?WHEREAS?, notwithstanding any other terms of the Conditions of Sale.
WINE TERM D: Notice: The wine industry estimates seven percent (7%) of all wine sealed with natural corks is ruined because of a natural fungus in corkwood that produces the chemical compound trichloroanisole. In almost all cases of ?corked? wine, the aroma of the wine is reduced significantly, and a heavily tainted wine is completely undrinkable. Since all of our wine is consigned, and much of it very rare, we cannot replace wines that have been ruined because of cork taint. We do not accept returns of corked wine nor do we refund for corked wine.
WINE TERM E: Shipping: All items will be available to the Buyer for pickup or shipment upon Buyer?s payment of the purchase price and prepaid shipping charges. Please note that due to the temperature-sensitivity of wine and complicated wine shipping regulations, we do not automatically ship wine lots. Please contact the Wine department at (310) 492-8635 to make your shipping arrangements. All lots are delivered by Buyer?s preferred method of shipping or by Auctioneer?s selection if no Buyer preference is indicated. Buyer shall assume full responsibility for shipping expenses.

Buyers need to be aware that many states impose restrictions on the quantity of alcoholic beverages purchased or brought into its jurisdiction from another state. Special permits may be required; Auctioneer takes no responsibility for any shipment to any state outside of California nor any confiscation of a shipment to any state.
WINE TERM F: Risk of Loss: The sale of the wine between Auctioneer and Buyer takes place at Auctioneer?s California facility. Risk of Loss passed to Buyer upon Auctioneer?s determination of the winning bid. Auctioneer will not reimburse Buyers for lost or damaged shipments. Auctioneer will take precautions to package the wine according to industry standards to minimize the possibility of damage. Auctioneer does not cover any loss or damage due to exposure to temperature variations, shipping delays or defect in or failure of any cork or other bottle closure.
WINE TERM G: Shipment outside of California: The primary means of distribution will be common carrier. All wines are to be sold in California by Seller and title passes to Buyer in California. Auctioneer makes no representation as to the rights of anyone to import wine into any state that restricts the personal importation of wine, the wine will be held at Auctioneer?s facility on behalf of Buyer until Buyer makes arrangements to ship the lot to an address in a state that permits such shipments or receives Buyer?s other written instructions.
WINE TERM H: Weather: When the weather is too hot or too cold to safely ship wines, Auctioneer will temporarily store Buyers? wines at no charge.
WINE TERM I: Change in Condition: Though every effort is made to describe or measure the levels of older vintages, corks more than twenty (20) years old begin to lose their elasticity and levels can change between cataloging and sale. Old corks occasionally fail during or after shipment. Buyers must understand that there is always a risk of cork failure with old wines. Under no circumstances can an adjustment of price or credit be made after delivery.
WINE TERM J: License: Heritage Collectibles, Inc. licensed in the State of California and holds Type 17 and 20 licenses No 5000295.
WINE TERM K: Financing. Auctioneer offers various extended payment options to qualified pre-approved persons and companies. The options include Extended Payment Programs (EPP) Flexible Payment Program (FPP) and Dealer Terms. Each program has its specific terms and conditions and such terms and conditions are strictly enforced. Each program has to be executed by the purchaser. Auctioneer reserves the right to alter or deny credit and in such case these auction terms shall control.
WINE TERM L: STORAGE CHARGES: Wines not picked up within one (1) months of the auction will accrue charges of $10.00 per case or partial case per month. Charges will be applied on the first day of the subsequent month and each month thereafter. Wines will not be released or shipped to customers until storage fees are paid.
