BUYING AT AUCTIONS IMPERIAL Auctions Imperial is pleased to assist in making your experience a positive one. We are dedicated to offering the very finest arms, armor, and historical artifacts to add to your collection. To begin, search our catalogue, either in print or on our website at Auctionsimperial.com, for the items you are interested in purchasing. Examine them during the pre-sale exhibition and/or speak with one of our specialists and decide how much you want to invest. There are four basic steps to purchasing at Auctions Imperial: 1. Bidder registration 2. Placing a bid 3. Settling your account 4. Picking up your property or arranging for shipping bidder registration A bidder registration form is provided with each catalog and is also available on our website. Fill out the form completely and submit it online or return it directly to a member of our staff. You will then be issued a client number. Bidding in Person To bid in person, you will need to complete the bidder registration form and collect a numbered paddle before the auction begins. You will also need a government-issued proof of identity, such as a driver's license or passport. You will also be asked for your address, telephone number, credit card number and signature in order to create your account. If you are bidding on behalf of a third party, you will need to provide a notarized affidavit from that person authorizing you to bid on his/her behalf. To place your bid, simply raise your paddle until the auctioneer acknowledges you. You will know when your bid has been acknowledged; the auctioneer will not mistake a random gesture for a bid. The bidding increments are determined by the auctioneer, and will usually not exceed ten percent of the previous bid. The auctioneer will take increasing bids on each lot, until only one bidder remains. The final bidder purchases the lot. A sale lot may have a reserve, which is the confidential minimum selling price previously agreed upon with the seller. If the bidding fails to reach the reserve price, the lot will remain unsold. Absentee Bids If you are unable to attend the auction in person, Auctions Imperial will be happy to execute written bids on your behalf. This service is free and confidential. You may place absentee bids on our website at www.auctionsimperial.com, or by using the absentee bid form at the back of each catalog, also available as a download on Auctionsimperial.com. Use this form to submit the maximum bid amount you are willing to make. Your absentee bid form must also contain the information required for registration; you may be contacted prior to the auction to confirm your identity. Completed absentee bid forms may be returned to Auctions Imperial via email or in person to any staff member not less than 24 hour prior to the beginning of the auction, in order to place bids on your behalf. When we execute an absentee bid on your behalf, the lot will always be bought for the lowest increment that exceeds all competing bids and which meets or exceeds the reserve price. In the event of identical bids, the earliest received will take precedence. Auctions Imperial requires all non-US bidders to advance a deposit equal to 1/3 of the value of bids placed. We are unable to execute Buy or unlimited bids. Written and telephone bids are offered as an additional service at no extra charge, and at the buyer's risk. Auctions Imperial cannot accept liability for failure to place such bids. Successful absentee bidders will receive an invoice after the auction. Telephone Bids For most auctions, you may also use the absentee bid form to register for telephone bidding. Based on the information you provide on the form, an Auctions Imperial representative will contact you from the saleroom prior to your specified lot(s) and will relay your bids to the auctioneer. As the number of telephone lines is limited, it is necessary to make arrangements for this service in advance, not less than 48 hours before the sale. Telephone bids are accepted at the sole discretion of Auctions Imperial and at the prospective buyer's risk. Telephone bidding lines may be recorded for the security of both parties, and by bidding on the telephone prospective buyers consent thereto. Internet Bidding Auctions Imperial accepts Internet bidding via LiveAuctioneers. You must pre-register through LiveAuctioneers at least 48 hours prior to the auction in order to bid online. Buyer's Premium & Tax Please note that the Auctions Imperial Buyer's Premium and any local taxes will be payable on successful bids. Thus the hammer price - the actual winning bid - is less than the amount the purchaser will pay. Consult an Auctions Imperial representative for more information before placing a bid. The buyer will be responsible for any duties or VAT required upon importation into another country. Payment You may pay in cash (may be subject to certain restrictions and legal limits), check, money order or wire transfer. We also accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express and debit cards (subject to certain restrictions and fees). Contact Auctions Imperial to determine payment methods. Overseas wire transfers must be received in the full USD amount and will incur a wire transfer fee. You may pay for your purchase immediately after the auction by going to the cashier onsite, or an invoice will be emailed to you within three days of the sale. Auctions Imperial must receive payment in full within 14 days of the sale. If you pay by check, we ask for your patience as your purchase will only be released upon notice that your check has cleared. Payments must come from the invoiced party only - Auctions Imperial is unable to accept third-party payments. Non-paying bidders shall be pursued to the full extent of the law and will be barred from participating in future auctions. PLEASE NOTE: New clients are required to provide credit card information as surety for successful bids.

Pickup and Delivery Upon payment, you may pick up your purchases at the auction location or arrange to have them shipped.

Such bidder thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility for the property sold, agrees to sign any requested confirmation of purchase, and agrees to pay the full purchase price therefore or such part upon such terms as the Company may require. All property shall be paid for and removed by the purchaser at his/her expense within ten (10) days of sale and, if not so removed, may be sold by the Company, or sent by the Company to a public warehouse, at the sole risk and charge of the purchaser(s), and the Company may prohibit the purchaser from participating, directly or indirectly, as a bidder or purchaser in any future sale or sales. The Company will not be responsible for any loss, damage, theft, or otherwise responsible for any goods left in the Company's possession after ten (10) days. If the foregoing conditions or any applicable provisions of law are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to the Company and the Consignor (including without limitation the right to hold the purchaser(s) liable for the bid price) the Company, at its option, may either cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the purchaser(s), or resell the property. In such event, the purchaser(s) shall remain liable for any deficiency in the original purchase price and will also be responsible for all costs, including warehousing, the expense of the ultimate sale, and the Company's commission at its regular rates together with all related and incidental charges, including legal fees. Payment is a precondition to removal. Payment shall be by cash, certified check or similar bank draft, or any other method approved by the Company. Checks will not be deemed to constitute payment until cleared. The Company will charge interest of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month on any balance remaining thirty (30) days after the day of sale. Any exceptions must be made upon the Company's written approval of credit prior to sale. Unless the sale is advertised and announced as "without reserve," each lot is offered subject to a reserve price below which the lot will not be sold. Where the Consignor is indebted to the Company, the Company may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds there from other than the Broker's Commissions, and all sales are subject to any such interest. No BUY (unlimited) bids shall be accepted at any time for any purpose. Any pre-sale bids must be left in writing with the Company prior to commencement of offer of the first lot of any sale. The Company's copy of any such bid shall conclusively be deemed to be the sole evidence of same, and the Company shall not be held respon¬sible for any failure to execute any pre-sale bid. A buyer's premium will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the purchaser as part of the total purchase price. The buyer's premium is 17% of the successful bid price up to and including $200,000, and 12% on any amount in excess of $200,000. Unless exempted by law from the payment thereof, the purchaser will be required to pay any and all applicable state and/or local sales taxes or VATs. Deliveries to be made outside the state where a sale is conducted may therefore be subject to a corresponding or compensating tax in another state. Lots won by successful bidders who have arranged for packing and shipment through Auctions Imperial will be shipped within ten (10) days of receipt of payment. PLEASE NOTE: New clients are required to provide credit card information as surety for successful bids. In the event that said clients fail to make payment in full within ten (10) days of invoicing, Auctions Imperial reserves the right to charge payment in full to said credit cards. Non-paying bidders shall be pursued to the full extent of the law and will be barred from participating in future auctions.
