(b) Lots are offered subject to a reserve price. The auctioneer will implement such reserve price by bidding on behalf of the consignor vendor.

(b) Mail Bidders. A successful mail bidder will be notified of lots purchased. Before the auctioneer will send such lots, payment in full must be received by the auctioneer within three (3) business days of receipt of the aforesaid notification by the mail bidder. However, a purchaser known to the auctioneer at its option may have purchases delivered or forwarded for immediate payment. Mailed delivery will be to the address on the bid sheet and proof by the auctioneer of receipt of a sending at the advised address shall constitute delivery.
(c) Prompt Payment Discount * - Successful bidders whose payment is received within 15 calendar days from the date of the auction, shall be entitled to a 2% prompt payment discount of the hammer price of each lot.
5. Title shall not pass to the purchaser until full payment has been received by the auctioneer as agents for the consignor or vendor.
6. (a) Purchasers agree to pay for lots as specified in Condition of Sale 4 (or as the same may be modified by Condition of Sale 8), and no credit is extended; a late payment charge of 2% per month or fraction thereof shall be added if payment is not made in accordance with the aforesaid conditions.
(b) In the event that a bidder shall fail to comply with these Conditions of Sale ("Non-Complying Bidder"), then, as to any lot with respect to which such failure to comply occurs, the auctioneer, may, in its sole discretion, re-offer such lot during the same auction or at an auction at a later time, or by private treaty at such time as the auctioneer, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate and the Non-Complying Bidder shall be liable for the deficiency, if any, between the hammer price and the net proceeds of a sale to a subsequent purchaser, whether at auction or by private treaty, as well as for all costs and expenses of both sales, all other charges due thereunder, including commissions with respect to both sales, whether payable to the auctioneer or to a third party and all incidental damages. It shall be in the auctioneers' sole discretion to determine whether to re-offer the lot theretofore hammered-down to a Non-Complying Bidder at the same auction, or by private treaty in due course, or at a subsequent auction conducted by the auctioneer. In no event shall any surplus arising from the sale of a re-offered lot be payable to a Non-Complying Bidder.
(c) If the auctioneer takes any legal steps to secure payment of a delinquent account, the defaulting purchaser shall be liable for all legal and other expenses incurred by the auctioneer to secure such payment, including but not limited to a reasonable allowance for attorneys' fees. For purposes of this paragraph, the term legal steps shall be deemed to include any and all consultation by the auctioneer with its attorneys with respect to all matters arising out of a delinquent account.
(d) Unless otherwise acceptable to the auctioneer, payment is to be made only in the form of cash, bank check or certified check, personal check (which must clear prior to delivery of lots), or a bank wire transfer.

EXHIBITION AND INSPECTION OF LOTS; QUALITY AND AUTHENTICITY
7. (a) See viewing schedule for on-premises viewing. Ample opportunity is given for on premises inspection prior to the auction date, and, upon written request and at the auctioneer discretion.
(b) Each lot is sold as genuine and correctly described, based on individual description as modified by any specific notations in this Catalogue.
(c) Quality. Any lot which a purchaser considers to be incorrectly described may be returned to the auctioneer within two weeks of its receipt by such purchaser ("Returning Purchaser"), provided, however, that the same is received by the auctioneer within four weeks of the date of the auction; however, the auctioneer may, in its discretion, refuse acceptance of such returned lot. If an opinion of a mutually acceptable authority is desired, the period of time within which a lot must be received by the auctioneer will be extended in accordance with Condition of Sale 8. In the event that a dispute cannot be resolved by reference to a mutually acceptable authority, and the auctioneer thereupon undertakes to re-offer the lot with a description identical to the description disputed, the Returning Purchaser shall be liable for the deficiency, if any, between the proceeds of the sale to the Returning Purchaser and the proceeds of a sale to a subsequent purchaser, as well as for all costs and expenses of the re-sale, including commission, and all incidental damages. Any lot, the description of which is disputed, must be returned intact and in the original packaging and in the condition received (unaltered) by the purchaser. The following lots are not returnable except at the discretion of the auctioneer: (i) lots from purchasers who attended the exhibition of the lots; (ii) lots examined by postal viewers; (iii) lots on account of their appearance, if they are illustrated in this Catalogue; or (iv) lots described as having repairs, defects or faults for any reason. (v) lots containing more than ten (10) items.
(d) Authenticity. Any lot which is declared otherwise than genuine by a generally recognized authority is returnable, provided such lot is received by the auctioneer within four weeks of the date of the auction. Proof that a mutually acceptable authority declines to express an opinion is not grounds for the return of a lot.
(e) Expenses incurred a purchaser in the submission and the return of a lot under Conditions of Sale 7 are not subject to refund.
