Terms and Conditions

TERMS OF SALE for bidding in Malter Galleries Inc. Auctions

Sunday, June 1st, 2008 Auction

Please read the following "Terms of Sale" carefully. These terms are 
applicable to all floor bidders and mail bidders in this auction, collectors 
and dealers alike. Your submission of bids in this auction constitutes your 
acceptance of these "Terms of Sale."

1. This is an auction sale, not an approval sale. At the fall of the gavel 
or upon the auctioneer's call of "Sold," all sales are final. By bidding in 
this auction, the bidder personally guarantees payment. The auctioneer has 
final discretion in all matters. In case of dispute, the lot(s) in question 
may be resold. Lots will be sold in their numerical sequence unless the 
auctioneer directs otherwise.

2. Payments must be made in full and lots must be removed the day of the 
sale. Absolutely no lots will be released until payment in full has been 
made. Payment (in U.S. funds) may be made in cash, by personal check (with 
proper identification, at the discretion of Malter Galleries inc.) or by 
MasterCard, Visa, Discover or American Express credit cards and Paypal if 
the purchase is over $100.

3. A 22.5% buyer's premium will be added to the final hammer price of each 
lot purchased through Malter Galleries Inc., and will be paid by all 
bidders, without exception!

4. Appropriate state and local Sales Tax of (8.25%) will be added to all 
California invoices, unless a valid seller's permit is on file with Malter 
Galleries Inc. prior to any bidding in the auction. Coin purchases of $1000 
and or more are also sales tax exempt to buyer's within California. Items 
shipped outside of California and the United States of America are also 
sales tax exempt.

5. No lots purchased by a floor bidder may be returned, including those lots 
where the bidder is acting as agent for another, or to mail bidders who have 
examined the lot(s). There are no returns or refunds except for reason of 
lack of authenticity. Claims to the contrary must be made in writing within 
ten (10) days after receipt of material. A letter from a recognized expert 
in the field pertaing to the item in dispute must be presented for refund. 
No lots may be returned without prior written consent. Late remittance 
constitutes just cause for revocation of all return privileges. In no event 
may any lot(s) be returned after thirty (30) days from the date of the 
auction. All sales are then FINAL!

6 MAIL BIDS may be left prior to and or during the auction, and will take 
priority over an identical floor bid. In case of a tie mail bid, the 
earliest received bid will take priority. Mail bids sent via United States 
mail, E-mail, FAX (818-784-4726) or phone (818-784-7772) will be executed by 
Malter Galleries Inc., at no charge. Your bids will be started at a small 
increment over the next highest bid, saving the bidder money wherever 
possible. Malter Galleries Inc. is not held responsible for any errors in 
bidding made on behalf of a mail bidder. Malter Galleries Inc. reserves the 
right to refuse any mail bids under 75% of the estimates. Absentee bids must 
be at least 75% of the estimate.

7. Mail bidders will receive an invoice detailing the purchases, sales tax, 
the buyer's premium, and shipping and handling charges. All collectibles 
will be mailed only upon receipt of payment in full and will be insured for 
their full value where applicable. Items shipped outside of the USA may need 
the buyer to provide their own insurance. All lots are shipped at the 
buyer's risk upon clearance of payment.

8. Estimates (indicated at the end of a lot description) are given only as a 
guide, and are not given as starting points for bidding. Bids below 75% of 
the estimate have little chance of success and may not be recorded. Bidding 
will start at an increment above the second highest mail bid received. Lots 
may sell for a price greater than or less than these estimates. Estimates 
with a "/" after the dollar amount indicate that there are that many items 
in that lot. Example: $500/5 or five items in lot.

9. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf 
of the seller. The auctioneer may bid further on behalf of the seller up to 
the amount of the reserve, by placing successive bids for any lot, or by 
placing bids in response to other bidders. The auctioneer may accept or 
decline any bid, or challenge to any bid, as he in his sole discretion shall 
determine.

10. Floor and mail bidders who have not yet established credit with Malter 
Galleries Inc. must furnish satisfactory credit references or deposit at 
least twenty-five percent (25%) of their total bids for that session(s) or 
such other amounts as Malter Galleries Inc. may require before such bids 
will be accepted. Deposits submitted will be applied to purchases and any 
unused portion of such deposit will be promptly returned.

11. In the event a successful bidder fails to make payment when due, Malter 
Galleries Inc. reserves the right to re-sell the merchandise and bidder 
agrees to pay for the reasonable cost of such a sale and also to pay any 
difference between the resale price and the previously successful bid, 
together with any incidental costs of sale and disbursements.

12. If the auction invoice is not paid for in full when due per invoice 
terms, the unpaid balance will bear interest at the highest rate permitted 
by law until paid in full. If the matter is referred to an attorney for 
collection, bidder agrees to pay all reasonable attorney fees, court costs 
and other collection cost incurred by Malter Galleries Inc. to collect past 
due invoices and that the services of process by certified or registered 
mail, return receipt requested, shall be sufficient to confer "in personam" 
jurisdiction over bidder.

13. Buyer agrees that any claim of controversy arising out of, or relating 
to the formation, interpretation of performance of these terms and 
underlying transactions or the breach thereof, is subject to arbitration or 
judicial proceedings and shall take place within the County of Los Angeles 
subject to the laws of the State of California
