Terms & Conditions of Sale 1. Catalogue Descriptions Wiederseim Associates, Inc. has endeavored to accurately describe all items being sold, but all property is being sold “As Is”, “Where Is”. No statement in a catalogue, invoice, bill of sale, or elsewhere by any representative or person in the employ of Wiederseim Associates, Inc. shall be deemed a warranty, representation, or assumption of liability with respect to age, condition, size, quality, variety, importance, provenance, material of manufacture, metal content or assay, stone identification, weight, or size measurement, or historical relevance of any of the items offered for sale. Any potential Bidders accept sole responsibility for contacting us to obtain condition reports on any offered lots and/or inspect said lots before bidding to determine the condition and if there are any repairs or restorations. If a lot description contains the phrase “As Found” it indicates that there are general “issues /difficulties.” The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging. Wiederseim Associates Inc. will endeavor to provide additional information as a courtesy, but it is only an opinion and should not be regarded as a statement of fact. 2. Bidding The Auctioneer will attempt to follow bidding increments as precisely as possible, but retains the discretion to change increments and further reserves the right to reject any bid or raise in bid. As a service to our customers, Wiederseim Associates, Inc. offers internet bidding, both absentee and live, through multiple platforms (see # 9 and # 10). The Auctioneer is not liable for, nor has control of, online transmission speeds or bid increments placed by registered online users. Wiederseim Associates, Inc reserves the right to limit lots offered for auction online and is not liable for any errors or failure in execution of any bid in connection with this process. Certain lots may be subject to a reserve or minimum price as agreed upon by Wiederseim Associates, Inc and the Consignor which will be executed by the Auctioneer.

This letter must state an exact amount of funds guaranteed, expressly stating the funds are payable to Wiederseim Associates, Inc. on the specific day of the Auction.

Disputes & Title to Goods In the event of a dispute, the Auctioneer will be the final judge as to which Bidder is successful. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion, re-open the bidding on a particular item. Title shall pass on all items sold when the Auctioneer says “SOLD”. The Purchaser assumes total and full responsibility for all goods at that time, and is responsible for payment for all items whether or not the Purchaser actually takes possession at that time. If any dispute arises after the conclusion of the Auction, the records of the Auctioneer and Clerk shall stand as conclusive. Any loss or damage by breakage, natural disaster, theft or any other cause is therefore the sole and entire responsibility of the Purchaser. 5.
