Terms & Conditions The lots listed in this catalog will be offered by Ascendant Auction Galleries as owner or as agent for consignor subject to the following terms and conditions. Where Ascendant Auction Galleries is agent, the contract is between seller and buyer. The following Conditions of Sale and Terms of Guarantee constitute the entire agreement with the purchaser relative to the property listed in this catalogue. By bidding at auction, you agree to be bound by these terms: 2. As Is/No Warranty All lots are sold "AS IS" and without recourse and neither Ascendant Auction Galleries nor its consignor makes any warranties or representations, express or implied, with respect to such lots, except for the limited warranties expressly stated in the Terms of Guarantee section of this catalog. Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any property in which they are interested, before the auction takes place, to determine its condition, size, and whether it has been repaired or restored. Except as otherwise expressly and specifically provided in the Terms of Guarantee, neither Ascendant Auction Galleries nor its consignor makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchant-ability, fitness for purpose, 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 historical significance of any lot sold. 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 defects imply the absence of others. References in the catalog entry or the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The Terms of Guarantee are controlling, and no statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in this catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. All statements by Ascendant Auction Galleries in the catalogue entry for the property or in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied on as statements of fact. Except as stated in the Terms of Guarantee, neither Ascendant Auction Galleries nor the seller is responsible in any way for errors or omissions in the catalog or any supplemental material. Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalog entry. Ascendant Auction Galleries and its consignor make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Ascendant Auction Galleries expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold by or for the consignor. 3. Removal of Lots or Property Ascendant Auction Galleries reserves the right to remove any lot at any time prior to the commencement of bidding for such lot and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal. 4. Reserved Properties If the auctioneer decides that any opening bid is below the value of the lot offered, the auctioneer may reject that bid and withdraw the lot from sale; and if, having acknowledged an opening bid, he decides that any advance thereafter is insufficient, he may reject that advance. Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. Reserves are agreed upon with the consignor or, in the absence thereof, in the absolute discretion of Ascendant Auction Galleries. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalog. Ascendant Auction Galleries on occasion makes loans or advances funds to consignors. The auctioneer may implement the reserve by opening bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may further bid on behalf of the seller, up to the amount of the reserve, by placing successive or consecutive bids for a lot or by placing bids in response to other bidders. Unless otherwise noted in the catalog or by an announcement at the auction, Ascendant Auction Galleries acts as agent on behalf of the seller and does not permit the seller to bid on his or her own property. 5. Estimated Sale: Each lot in the catalog is given a low and high estimate representing that range which, in the opinion of Ascendant Auction Galleries, represents a fair and probable auction value. When possible, the estimate is based on previous auction records of comparable property, condition, rarity, quality and provenances. The estimates are often determined several months before a sale and are therefore subject to change upon further research of the property, or to reflect market conditions or currency fluctuations. Estimates are subject to revision. Actual prices realized for items can fall below or above this range. An estimate of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose. Estimates do not include the buyer's premium. . 6. Bidding/Buying: Ascendant Auction Galleries reserves the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid, as well as the right to refuse to acknowledge any bidder. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. The auctioneer has the right at his absolute and sole discretion to advance the bidding in such a manner as he may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, and to combine any two or more lots. In the event of error or dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt on our 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 Ascendant Auction sale record shall be conclusive. 7.
