Auctioneer, Bidder, Buyer and Seller agree to be bound by these terms for this auction:
1. These terms control this auction in all regards and supersede all previous announcements, advertisements and published information however distributed, except for any announcement made by Auctioneer at the auction, which will take precedence and be controlling in all instances. Auctioneer has been hired by Seller to act as Sellers agent in conduction of the auction, and Auctioneer is not serving as an agent for Bidder or any Buyer.

Bidder agrees to leave the auction site immediately and quietly upon request by Auctioneer. Any act of theft, vandalism or disruption will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

3. 15% (Fifteen Percent) Buyer's Premium is in effect for this Auction. This means a surcharge of 15% will be added to the amount of the highest bid for each lot to determine the final selling price for that lot. Bidder should carefully guard his bidding number and or username/password to avoid unauthorized purchases for which Bidder will be responsible.

4) Catalogs and brochures are guides only based on information from sources believed to be reliable, but their accuracy cannot be guaranteed or warranted.

Bidders should carefully inspect each lot to determine condition and contents. All measurements are approximate.
