Public Sale LLC
Conditions of Sale

1. Binding Terms.
The lots listed for auction will be offered by Public Sale LLC as owner or as agent for consignor subject to the following terms and conditions. Where Public Sale LLC is agent, the contract of sale will be directly between the third party seller and purchaser. The following Conditions of Sale constitute the entire agreement with the purchaser relative to the lots listed for auction. By bidding in an auction, you agree to be bound by these Conditions of Sale.
2. Condition and Description of Lots.
a. Description of Lots.
All statements in the catalogue entry for the property, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied on as statements of fact. In reaching our opinion, we use the standard of care a purchaser would reasonably expect from an auction house of Public Sale LLC?s standing. Public Sale LLC does not carry out in-depth research. References in the catalogue are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder. Neither Public Sale LLC nor the consignor is responsible in any way for errors or omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material. All measurements and weights are approximate.
Notices amend the catalogue description of a lot after the catalogue has gone to press.
They are posted online or are announced by the auctioneer. Please take note of them.
b. Condition of Lots.
All lots are sold AS IS in the condition they are in at the time of the sale.
Conditions of lots can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair and wear and tear. 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, nor does a reference to the particular defects imply the absence of others. Prospective purchasers are strongly advised to personally examine any property of interest before the auction takes place to determine its condition.
c. No Warranty.
Neither Public Sale LLC nor its consignor makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, the correctness of the catalog or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or the historical significance of any lot sold.
3. Copyright.
Public Sale LLC owns the copyright in all images, illustrations, and written material produced by or for us relating to a lot (including the contents of our catalogs). You cannot use them without our written permission. Public Sale LLC expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold. We do not offer any guarantee that you will gain any copyright or other reproduction rights to the lot.
4. Estimates.
Each lot in the catalog is given a low and high estimate representing the range, which in the opinion of Public Sale LLC, represents a fair and probable auction value. When possible, the estimate is based on previous auction records of comparable property, condition, rarity, quality,
and provenance of the lot. Estimates can change and are subject to revision. Bidders nor anyone else may rely on an estimate as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price of a lot. Estimates do not include the buyer?s premium.
5. Bidding.
When making a bid, you accept that in making a bid, you are accepting personal liability to pay the full purchase price, including the buyer?s premium and all applicable taxes and other charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Public Sale LLC before the commencement
of the sale that the bidder is acting as an agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Public Sale LLC and Public Sale LLC will only look to the principal for payment. Public Sale LLC will not be responsible to you for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the internet or on your mobile device, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by: (i) any loss of connection to the online-only sale; (ii) a breakdown or problems with the online bidding software; and/or (iii) a breakdown or problems with any internet connection, computer, mobile device or system. Public Sale LLC does not accept liability for failing to access the bidding site or to execute an online or mobile internet bid or for errors or omissions in connection with this activity. Although in our discretion we will execute orders or absentee bids or accept telephone bids as a convenience to our clients, we are not responsible for any errors or omissions in connection therewith.
Public Sale LLC reserves the right, in our absolute discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction; reject your registration to bid; reject, revoke or refuse to accept any bid (even those that have been previously accepted); withdraw or divide any lot; combine any two or more lots; or, whether during or after the sale, restart or continue the bidding or re-offer the lot. Bidding opens at a specified bid amount and advances in increments set in the auctioneer?s discretion.
The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the event of an error or dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt on Public Sale LLC?s part as to the validity of any bid, whether during or after the sale, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale, or to re-offer and resell the lot in
dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Public Sale LLC sale record shall be conclusive.
6. Withdrawal of Lots.
Public Sale LLC reserves the right to withdraw any lot from the sale whether prior to or during the auction, and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal.
7. Buyer?s Premium.
Public Sale LLC charges the purchaser a buyer?s premium on the hammer price of each lot sold. The amount of the buyer?s premium is 15% for in-house auctions and 20% for online auctions.
8. Payment.
Unless otherwise agreed to by Public Sale LLC in writing, you must pay the total purchase price in full and remove the property from our premises at your expense within 15 days of the sale. The total purchase price includes the hammer price, applicable buyer?s premium and sales tax, use tax and excise, and any other taxes in accordance with applicable law. Payment may be made
in U.S. dollars by cash, check, or credit card (American Express, Visa, or Mastercard). You agree to pay Public Sale LLC a handling charge of $35 for any check dishonored by the drawee. Before bidding on a lot, prospective buyers are advised to make their own inquiries as to whether a license is required to export a lot from the United States or to import it into another country. It is solely the buyer?s responsibility to comply with these laws and to obtain any necessary export, import, and endangered species licenses or permits. Failure to obtain a license or permit or delay in so doing will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment for
the lot. In the event the property is not removed within 15 days, Public Sale LLC reserves the right to charge a storage fee of $10 per lot per day.
For payment, if you have a card on file with LiveAuctioneers, it will be automatically charged 72 hours after you receive your invoice.
