The following Conditions of Sale constitute the entire agreement with the purchaser relative to the property listed in this catalogue. By bidding you agree to be bound by these terms.

2. AS IS

All lots are sold "AS IS" and without recourse and neither Serenity Gallerie nor its consignor makes any warranties or representations, express or implied, with respect to such lots, except for the limited warranties. Aftermarket modifications may affect manufacturer service eligibility. Any appraisals provided are by independent third parties and are opinions only. Appraisal values do not represent resale or insurance value. All Art dates and attributions are approximate and opinion only. Measurements are approximate.

Serenity Gallerie nor its consignor makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue/listing or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold. 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.

All statements by Serenity Gallerie in the catalogue entry for the property or in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied on as statements of fact.

3. WITHDRAWAL

Serenity Gallerie reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time prior to the commencement of bidding for such lot and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal.

4. RESERVES

If the auctioneer decides that any opening bid is below the value of the lot offered, the auctioneer may reject that bid and withdraw the lot from sale; and if, having acknowledged an opening bid, he decides that any advance thereafter is insufficient, he may reject that advance. Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. No reserve will exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with the consignor or, in the absence thereof, in the absolute discretion of Serenity Gallerie.

5. ESTIMATES

Each lot is given a low and high estimate representing that range which, in the opinion of Serenity Gallerie, represents a fair and probable auction value. When possible, the estimate is based on previous auction records of comparable property, condition, rarity, quality and provenances. The estimates are often determined several months before a sale and are therefore subject to change upon further research of the property, or to reflect market conditions or currency fluctuations. Estimates are subject to revision. Actual prices realized for items can fall below or above this range. An estimate of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose. Estimates do not include the buyers premium.

6. BIDDING

Serenity Gallerie reserves the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission or participation in any auction and to reject any bid, as well as the right to refuse to acknowledge any bidder. The highest bidder will be the purchaser. Serenity Galleries sale record shall be conclusive should any dispute arise after the sale.
