References in the catalogue entry or the condition report to damage or restoration are for informational and guidance purposes only. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from damage, defects, or restoration, nor does a reference to a particular defect imply the absence of any others. Unless otherwise stated, all dimensions are approximate and illustrations are for identification purposes only, and cannot be used as precise indicators of size or to convey full information as to the actual conditions of lots.

2. DURING THE SALE
Bidders are welcome to participate in a sale/auction via one of the following methods: (i) leaving absentee bids or, (ii) leaving a bid through our website. WPA has the right, at their complete discretion, to refuse participation in any auction and to reject any bid.
(a) Absentee Bids.
All absentee bidding is handled as though you are at the auction on line. All auctions are timed auctions on the Bid Spirit platform and will automatically advance your bids according to their policies, WPA is not liable or responsible for any errors or failure to do so. Please see Bid Spirits Terms and Conditions regarding absentee bidding.
All bidders should check and must comply with these increments. In case of failure to comply, we will increase each off-increment bid to the next higher figure. (NOTE: Absentee bids left via a third party online auction service provider as described below in Section 2(c) are sent to the auction house during the actual sale. There is no time advantage to leaving bids in this fashion.)
(b) Internet Bids via Bid Spirit.
You may also bid online via our third party online auction service providers. Currently, WPA uses Bid Spirit as its third party online auction service providers. You may access this online bidding option at URLs www.bidspirit.com.
Note that, as third party service providers, use of the such online bidding is subject to third party terms and conditions of service, which may be different than these Conditions of Sale. While WPA attempts to work with reputable service providers, WPA is not responsible for and has no control over the terms and conditions of its third party service providers. Use of Internet bidding through such third party sites is solely at your own risk. We encourage you to review such third party service providers terms and conditions of service carefully prior to registering and using their services.
WPA is not responsible for any equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids.
Note also that submitting bids through the Internet via WPA third party online auction service providers may add an additional buyers premium and/or processing fee that will be included in the Purchase Price (as defined below).
(c) Bidding Process.
When making a bid, you are accepting personal liability to pay the Purchase Price, including the premium and all applicable taxes and other charges. The sale will be conducted in U.S. dollars and payment is due in U.S. dollars.
If you leave an absentee bid, absentee bids will be executed as if the bidder were present at the auction with the earliest bid received having preference in the event of a tie between absentee bidders. Bids are executed in competition with one another on an alternate basis; therefore, we cannot guarantee which will reach a certain point in the bidding first. You expressly acknowledge and agree that you are not guaranteed an item even if your bid matches the winning bid.
(d) Auctioneers Discretion.
WPA and the auctioneer have the right at their absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as they may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots and, in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to re-offer and resell the item in dispute. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to reoffer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, WPA sale record is conclusive.
(e) Successful Bid and Passing of Risk.
Subject to the auctioneers discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of the hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the creation of a legally binding contract for sale between the seller and the buyer for the amount of the bid plus any premium, tax, or other charge. Failure to pay after becoming the winning bidder is a breach of such contract and WPA and the seller may take action against you as provided in Section 3(d) below. Risk and responsibility for the lot (including frames or glass where relevant) passes to the buyer at the striking of the auctioneers hammer accepting the highest bid and creating the contract between seller and buyer.
