CATALOGUE
Written and oral descriptions are the opinions of Wooten & Wooten staff and consultants and are in no way a guarantee of any kind to the accuracy of the catalogue description or condition reports provided.

CONDITION REPORTS
Complementary condition reports are executed on an as-requested basis and may be obtained by contacting our offices. Condition reports submitted less than 24 hours prior to the sale may not be completed. The absence of a condition report does not reflect the state of the object. It is our goal to provide our clients with a fair and accurate assessment, please keep mind that we are not professional conservators or restorers.

BIDDING
We offer in-house bidding, absentee bidding, telephone bidding and Internet bidding. Internet bidding is available through LiveAuctioneers and is subject to an additional 5% charge added to our 20% buyers premium. All new bidders will be required to pre-register with Wooten & Wooten, and returning bidders will be asked to sign and complete a new bid form with each sale. No lot will be sold for less than half of the low estimate. Wooten & Wooten reserves the right to bid as agent on behalf of the seller. Wooten & Wooten staff, consultants, family and friends reserve the right to bid competitively at all auctions.

The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer and will assume full risk and responsibility for the property, including prompt payment and pick- up. The auctioneer has the sole right to re-open a lot and/or settle disputed bids, and the record kept by Wooten & Wooten will be seen as final. Wooten & Wooten reserves the right to reject any bid. All absentee bids are executed by Wooten & Wooten staff, and/or via LiveAuctioneers, as a convenience and we are not responsible for any errors or omissions.

We are not responsible for any damage done to property after the hammer; this includes, but is not limited to, items left beyond the 30 days or any damage or loss by your shipping agent.


ENDANGERED SPECIES
Objects made of or incorporating plant or animal materials such as ivory, tortoiseshell, whalebone, etc. can require a license or certificate prior to exportation and additional licenses/certificates upon importation to another state or country. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to secure any licenses or certificates, and Wooten and Wooten will not assistant in the process nor can we guarantee that you will be able to obtain them. Your bid indicates that you agree to comply with any and all domestic / international restrictions on the trade of endangered species and that you will pay for successful lots regardless of whether you are able to obtain the proper license or certificate. Wooten & Wooten suggests that you secure the proper import/export license or certificates in your state or country prior to bidding and contact a shipper.
