its obligations, buyer will be in default. In that case, the buyer will

addition at our option, we may (i) cancel the sale of the lot on which

buyer is in default and on all other lots sold to buyer, and keep all
payments made by buyer as liquidated damages, (ii) resell the lot(s)
at private or public sale, without reserve, and (iii) exercise any other
rights given by law. In any event, we shall be entitled to recover
from the defaulting buyer any amounts that remain due us on the
purchase price, together with all fees and charges. We shall also
be entitled to recover all damages, including costs of collection incurred
in connection with buyer's default. These costs of collection include, but are not limited to,
handling charges, normal sales commissions
and expenses (on both the sale for which buyer defaulted,
and on any resale), and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.
Security Interest. As security for full payment to us of all amounts
is due from buyer, Link Auction Galleries retains, and the buyer
grants to Link Auction Galleries, a security interest in the Property
purchased by buyer at auction and in any other property or money
in our possession or coming into our possession. We may apply
such money or deal with such property as the Uniform Commercial
Code or other applicable law permits a secured creditor to do. This
security interest shall cease upon actual physical delivery of the
property to buyer or buyer's agent.

As a convenience to buyers who cannot attend a sale in person, we
may, if so instructed, execute written absentee bids on a buyer's
behalf, without additional cost. Absentee bidders are required

printed in the catalogue of otherwise available from us. The buyer
must clearly indicate the maximum amount buyer intends to bid,
excluding the buyer's premium. "Buy" bids will not be accepted.
For bidders requesting the opportunity to bid by telephone on lots
estimated over $500.00, we reserve the right to have a completed

telephone bid form on file prior to any such bidding. We also
reserve the right to require written confirmation of a successful bid
from the telephone bidder, by facsimile or otherwise, immediately
after such bid was accepted by the Auctioneer. Telephone bids may
be recorded, and by bidding on the telephone, bidder consents to
a recording of the conversation. Absentee bids, whether written,
executed by telephone, or otherwise, are an accommodation for
the buyer, and we will not be liable for errors, omissions, or failure
to execute bids. Lots are bought for absentee bidders at the lowest
possible price permitted against other bidders and the reserve.
8. Private Sales
These Standard Terms and Conditions shall also apply to any
private sale by us of Property.
9. Rescission by Us
If an adverse claim is asserted with respect to the Property purchased
by a buyer, we shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
rescind the sale. Upon notice of our election of rescind the sale, the
buyer will promptly return the Property to our premises in the same
condition as the time of purchase. We will then refund the purchase
price and buyer's commission. The refund shall constitute the sole
remedy and recourse of buyer against us and the consignor with
respect to such claim.
10. Limitation of Liability
We are acting as agent only in connection with sale of Property. We
disclaim any responsibility for a breach or default by the consignor,
expect as specifically stated above.
In no event will our liability for any breach, act or omission (including,
but not limited to, any breach of the Authorship Warranty or
any breach of warranty of title) exceed the purchase price actually
paid by buyer. BUYER AGREES THAT WE SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY

UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, whether in contract,
warranty, tort, strict liability, negligence or otherwise, arising
out of, resulting from, or relating in any way to (i) the Property or its

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL PURCHASERS OF JEWELRY
The Following provision supplements the Standard Terms and
Conditions appearing in this catalogue.
Clients are advised that many colored gemstones are treated
to enhance their properties. For example: heating is commonly
used to improve the color or transparency of rubies or sapphires;
and oiling is used to enhance clarity in emeralds. Such enhancement
procedures are widely accepted by the international jewelry
profession. While the color of heat-treated stones is permanent,
oiling may need to be repeated after a number of years in order for
emeralds to retain optimum clarity.
As a matter of policy, Link Auction Galleries will obtain gemological
reports from officially recognized laboratories for certain
gemstones offered for sale. The contents of these reports are
given in our catalogues. However, it is not feasible for Link Auction
Galleries to obtain such reports for all gemstones offered at auction
and prospective buyers should therefore bear in mind that,
unless otherwise stated, such enhancement methods could have
been used. Prospective buyers must be made in good time (two
weeks before the auction date) and are at the client's cost (prepaid).
Enhancement of gemstones may affect market values, and clients
are advised that if official gemological reports are not available
gemstones may have been enhanced.
Illustrations are produced as approximately life-size, unless stated
to the contrary. However they are rarely exact and cannot be used

as precise indications of size.
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL PURCHASERS OF
WATCHES
The following provision supplements the Standard Terms and
Conditions appearing in this catalogue.
NO WARRANTY IS MADE THAT ANY WATCH IS IN WORKING ORDER
AND NOTHING IS THIS CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION OF ANY
SUCH LOT SHOULD BE TAKEN AS IMPLYING SUCH. Purchasers
are advised to have watches checked by a competent watchmaker
before use.
