We DONOT misrepresent the age or authenticity and we are always available to discuss the descriptions provided in the catalog. We generally will offer a limited guarantee on any major lot in the auction. The guarantee would be for the overall authenticity as represented and would apply to bidders who are relying on the catalog description to bid without ever attending in person. This would apply to a potential bidder and will only apply for ten (10) days after the auction date. (NO EXCEPTIONS) In the event a longer period of the time would be needed to determine authenticity as represented, the longer period requested would have to be agreed upon by both the consignor(s) and the potential buyer. This can sometimes apply if an independent expert needs to authenticate an object.

All measurements and weights are approximate. The absence of any reference to the condition of property does not imply perfect or imperfect condition. No statement anywhere, whether oral or written, whether made in the catalogue, advertisement, bill of sale or remarks by staff or the auctioneer, shall be considered a warranty representation or assumption of liability.

Catalogs, including on-line catalogs and brochures are guides only and are based on information from sources believed to be reliable, but their accuracy cannot be guaranteed or warranted. The Auctioneer will not be liable for any errors or omissions. Photographs posted to the on line bidding websites may have had size modifications for display purposes. Estimated selling prices posted are for general information only and are not appraisals of value. The actual selling price of an item may be higher or lower.

Conditions (If condition is not mentioned in a catalogue listing, this does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging.):
JMA will be pleased to provide a condition report for any lot on request. 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. Most of the items we sell are OLD and will have imperfections pursuant to age. We recommend prospective bidders examine all items in which they have an interest. By placing a bid, either in person, by phone, absentee or via the Internet, you signify that you have examined the items as fully as you desire to or that you have chosen not to examine them. If you require absolute certainty in all areas of authenticity, and the results of your evaluation leave uncertainty in your mind, we recommend you have an expert examine the lot for you or DO NOT BID on the item in question. Bidding on these items is acceptance of these terms.

Lots are available for inspection prior to any Sale, and are for your convenience to satisfy yourself as to each and every aspect of a lot. You are strongly advised to examine in person any lot on which you may bid or have it examined on your behalf before any Sale at one of our auction previews. If there is any uncertainty to any lot we recommend you do not bid on the item in question. There are no refunds.

2. As used in these conditions of sale, the term "final bid" means the highest bid acknowledged by the auctioneer and the term "purchase price" means the sum of the final bid plus the premium payable by the buyer and sales tax if applicable.

3. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer has the right to reject any bid, to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion and in the event of any dispute between bidders to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding or to re-offer and resell the lot in dispute. In the event of any dispute after the sale, JMA record of final sale shall be conclusive. Internet bidders should be aware that auction floor bids taken by the Auctioneer always supersede bids taken online, therefore it is often necessary for Internet bidders to bid again to have the contending bid on any particular item.

4. JMA reserves the right to withdraw any lot before the sale. The record of sale kept by the auction house will be taken as final in the event of dispute.

5. DISPUTE BETWEEN BIDDERS: If any dispute arises between two or more bidders, bidding on line or in house, the auctioneer may decide the same or may immediately put the lot up for sale again, and resell to the highest bidder. The decision of the auctioneer shall be final and absolute. The purchaser assumes complete responsibility for items at the fall of the hammer.

6. RESERVES: Some lots carry reserves or minimum selling prices. This is a figure set by the consignor and the auction house below which a lot will not be sold. The auction house will execute the reserve bids. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate. Estimates are subject to change at any time prior to the offering of each lot.

7. ABSENTEE and PHONE BIDDING: We are pleased to offer on line, absentee and phone bidding for prospective bidders who cannot be present at the auction. An absentee bid form must be completed and faxed or emailed to our gallery. Absentee bids will be executed competitively and confidentially. All bids are held in the strictest confidence and must be received 24 hours prior to the auction. Leaving an absentee or phone bid on a lot indicates your willingness to open the bidding at one half the printed low estimate, and gives the auctioneer the authority to open the bidding at that level. JMA shall have the right to withdraw any item at any time for any reason and to default any sale in the event of an error or dispute. In the case of identical absentee bids, the bid received first will prevail. Bidders are encouraged to submit absentee bids 24 hours prior to the auction. We reserve the right to pre-authorize a credit card deposit.

In bidding on line you acknowledge and agree that each bid submitted is irrevocable and cannot be amended or corrected, even if submitted in error and notified to us. You accept full liability for all bids submitted.
