JULY FINE ARTS/ANTIQUES AUCTION

GUARANTEE: ANN & CO. continues to be committed to providing thorough descriptions that reflect our belief in service through honesty, integrity and attention to detail. ANN & CO. guarantees the authenticity of origin as stated in the first bold line of the catalogue description, with the exception of amendments by any oral or written notices or announcements at the time of the auction. ?Origin? is defined as the creator, period, culture, or source, as set forth in the first bold line of a lot in the catalog. Exclusions: Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms of Guarantee, ANN & CO. does not guarantee the names or patterns of any Oriental rugs. All rug dimensions are approximate. Additionally, antiques, by the very nature of their age, have wear that reflects their years of use. As a result, honest wear earned from use is to be expected and is sometimes the proof that an item is an antique. Normal wear will not be listed. Buyers who would like to know the fine points regarding condition should call prior to the auction. We would prefer that you examine the items before you place a bid. All other guarantees of authenticity of authorship, expressed or implied, are hereby disclaimed. There is no other warranty, express or implied. Each and every lot is sold ?as is?. LIABILITY: ANN & CO. does NOT guarantee authenticity on paintings because we are not authenticators. We provide all information possible, including closeup images of signatures. If it is determined to ANN & CO. satisfaction that the first bold line is incorrect, the sale will be rescinded provided the lot is returned to ANN & CO. in the same condition in which it was at the time of the auction. It is also ANN & CO. policy to have the purchaser obtain, at the purchaser?s expense, the opinion of one (or two in some cases) recognized experts in the field, mutually acceptable to ANN & CO. and the purchaser, before ANN & CO. determines whether to rescind the sale under the above guarantee. The purchaser's sole remedy in the event of disputed authenticity of origin of any lot shall be the rescission of the sale and return of the original purchase price and premium paid by the purchaser. Cost of shipping the item is the responsibility of the Purchaser and shall not be refunded under any circumstances. ANN & CO. accepts no liability of any kind for an item after the gavel has fallen. WITHDRAWN LOTS: ANN & CO. reserves the right to withdraw any property before the auction and shall have no liability whatsoever for withdrawal of any lot. SUCCESSFUL BIDDERS: The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer is the buyer. The auctioneer is the sole determinant as to who is the successful bidder. Once the auctioneer's gavel falls, the successful bidder immediately assumes full risk and responsibility for the purchased lot. DISPUTED AND REJECTED BIDS: The auctioneer reserves the right to re-open the bidding on the disputed lot. The auctioneer also reserves the right to reject nominal bids and to withdraw from the auction items that do not receive a bid reflective of an item's worth. In the event of discrepancies, sale room records take precedence regarding hammer price and the winning bidder. ESTIMATES & RESERVES: Presale estimates are intended as guides and may not be reflective of actual gavel price. Some of the items in this auction are subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and ANN & CO. The reserve will not be higher than the low estimate. CONDITION REPORTS: Absentee bidders should call or email for an updated condition report. This report supersedes the catalog description. We can answer questions until 24 hours before the start of the auction. We cannot answer questions on the day of the auction due to high phone and walk-in traffic. ABSENTEE BIDS: ANN & CO. accepts ABSENTEE BIDS including internet bids, live auction internet bids and TELEPHONE bids. These bids are executed competitively. All absentee items are purchased as inexpensively as possible. Although our absentee bidding system is 100% honest, it is not foolproof and ANN & CO. is not responsible for failing to execute any absentee bids. BUYERS PREMIUM: AN 15% buyer?s premium will be added to the gavel price for each lot sold. SALES TAX: Buyers are required to pay state and local sales tax unless exempted by law. If exempt, buyers must file a tax exemption form with ANN & CO. before any exemption can be made. Monroe County residents will be charged 8%, unless exempt. An Exemption Certificate must be completed by the Buyer and retained by ANN & CO. PAYMENT: Invoices will be mailed to the successful bidder within three business days of the auction. Payment is expected upon receipt of the invoice. ANN & CO. accepts cash, personal and certified checks or VISA®, MasterCard® OR Discover as payment for items purchased. Items may not leave the premises until payment is made and checks have cleared. A fee of $25 will be assessed on all returned checks. PACKING AND SHIPPING: ANN & CO. will not ship items bought at auction. ANN & CO. will provide Purchasers with names of local shippers. Purchaser will be responsible for packing, handling, postage and insurance. Although we may ship small unbreakable items, we will not ship paintings, furniture, china sets, glass panels, clocks or any other fragile or breakable item. Arrangements for shipping will be the responsibility of the Purchaser. ANN & CO. is in no way responsible for the acts or omissions of independent contractors, packers or carriers of purchased merchandise.
