Warranty and Representations:
Auction strives to conduct honest and transparent auction sales and offers a warranty with limitations that is outlined and explained below:
Auction has taken considerable time and effort in accurately describing the items in the catalog. The items carry a limited warranty based on the catalog descriptions. This is limited to protection for you (the Buyer) for serious discrepancies that would severely affect the value of the item(s). Auction does not agree to warranty anything that it deems not to be a serious discrepancy and therefore does not seriously affect the value. This limited warranty protects the Buyer against fakes, reproductions, or any major modification or alteration of a given item. The limited warranty covers authenticity and any considerable restoration or repair not described in the condition report of the catalog.
Auction makes its best effort to be as fair and honest as possible in our catalog by providing several high resolution images, any available supporting documentation, and expert analysis (if available) of each item and describing the item to the best of our ability. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. Auction does not warranty against minor imperfections, minor damage, natural flaws due to age of materials, normal signs of wear from use. It is the Buyer's responsibility to inspect the item(s) in person during the preview period and if placing absentee bids, the Buyer must request a condition report via email at least 48 hours prior to the start of the auction sale. If the Buyer is extremely particular, it is advised that you the Buyer do not submit an absentee bid in our auction sale since your expectation of the condition of a given item may be much higher than our cataloger may have.The purpose of the auction sale catalog is to provide a general description of each item and its condition. The Auction will honor any serious discrepancy in the catalog descriptions. If Auction determines that the discrepancy is not serious, under no circumstances would the Auction honor the warranty. Therefore no refund or adjustment would be made. In rare cases, the Auction reserves the right to make written corrections to the catalog during the live sale. Absentee bids will not be honored on items that Auction finds to be different at time of live sale than described in the catalog unless contact can be made via email with the Buyer to advise of the discrepancy before the item is sold. If the Auction is unable to reach the Buyer or time does not permit prior to the sale, the absentee bid will be cancelled. Warranty only applies to what is written in the catalog or announced during the live sale. No verbal communication whether in person or over the phone shall be construed as binding under the warranty. The Auction will be the sole judge in the decision of refunds and adjustments for serious discrepancies. The warranty is limited to the following:
A)Limit of Compensation: If the Buyer requests a refund based on authenticity, it must be accompanied by at least one written statement from an authority recognized by the Auction. Auction is not responsible for any shipping, appraisal, testing, authentication, analysis costs incurred by the Buyer. Shipping costs from the Auction to the Buyer and from the Buyer to the Auction are NON-REFUNDABLE. Auction will not refund the cost of shipping . It is agreed between both parties that the item(s) will be returned in the same condition as received 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 to the Auction.
B)Type of Compensation: An item that is approved by the Auction for an adjustment or refund is limited to one of the following options:
1)Serious discrepancies i.e. Fakes, reproductions, or any major modification or alteration will qualify for an adjustment that may result in a refund of the sale price or adjustment in the sale price or repair by the auctioneer. It is at the Auction's sole discretion as to the final resolution.
2)Minor discrepancies are not covered by the warranty and no refund or adjustment will be made by the Auction.
C) Inspection Term Limit: For items picked up in person by the Buyer, items must be inspected for any physical condition discrepancies before signing and receiving the item(s). For absentee bidder (online, telephone or written absentee bidder)items that are shipped In-House or picked up by a third party shipper, it is the responsibility of the Buyer to inspect the item upon receipt. If a serious discrepancy is found, then it is the responsibility of the Buyer to contact the Auction in writing via email immediately. After 30 days from the auction sale date, the warranty and any options for refund, adjustment in sale price, or repair of the item(s) are null and void. AFTER 30 DAYS REGARDLESS OF WHEN THE ITEM WAS RECEIVED, THE WARRANTY IS NULL AND VOID. If you (the Buyer) suspect the authenticity or another serious discrepancy of an item and require additional time to inspect or authenticate the item, it is the Buyer's responsibility to contact the Auction in writing via email. At the Auction's discretion, the inspection period can be extended up to 5 business days to accommodate the Buyer. If the Buyer contacts the Auction 31 days after the auction sale date, the warranty is null and void.
