Bidder approval is at the sole discretion of Jeffrey S. Evans & Associates. 1. The auctioneer reserves the right to reopen bidding on a sold lot (under extreme circumstances only) and is the sole determinant concerning all bid disputes and the final authority in regard to all auction terms and conditions. 2. All auction lots sold are subject to a buyer's premium. Payment in full is due on date of sale for lots won in person. 3. Unless exempted by law, all purchases are subject to a 5.3% VA state sales tax. VA state sales tax does apply to out-of-state, non-tax exempt buyers who pick up their purchases at our gallery in Virginia. 4. SALES TAX EXEMPTIONS: Virginia law requires that all dealers must have a valid signed tax exemptioncertificate on file with us. Out of state dealers must provide a copy of their current exemption certificate. 5. Phone and absentee bidding directly with our auction house, and not through a third party company such as LiveAuctioneers, is offered as a courtesy. We are not responsible for errors or unexecuted absentee or telephone bids. (Bidders may place bids themselves in person or online.) 6. Non-Internet bids: If you do not have Internet access, you may fax, mail, or hand-deliver bids to us and we will enter the bids on your behalf.

If you accidentally bid on a lot and win, you are still liable for payment as we are liable to the consignor. 10.

In the event of identical absentee bids, the earliest received bid takes priority. NOTE: It is possible that a "Live" bidder could win a lot for the same bid amount you placed prior to the auction (it depends on where the bidding opens and how it falls during sale of the lot). SEE EXAMPLE at www.jeffreysevans.com 12. Absentee bids placed through the LiveAuctioneers system are accepted at any time prior to the sale of the item.

The purchaser shall be deemed to have consented to the jurisdiction of the state courts of, and the federal courts sitting in, the Commonwealth of Virginia. Catalogue Guarantee Glass & Lighting All catalogue descriptions are guaranteed to be accurate in the matter of authenticity, condition and measurements unless otherwise noted in the catalogue description. Measurements are guaranteed to be accurate to within one inch. Due to the high number of absentee bids that we execute, we are very meticulous in our description of the condition of each piece. Many of the minor flaws that we note are perfectly acceptable and do not detract from the item's desirability or value; however we do not consider light wear, small manufacturing flaws, glass impurities, or lightly tinted glass to be notable flaws. If you are a bidder who demands flawlessness, it is recommended that you examine the item(s) in person, or have a trusted representative inspect the item(s) on your behalf. Lamps are measured to the top of the collar and are without burners and chimneys unless otherwise noted. Antiques, Americana & Decorative Arts All catalogue descriptions are believed to be accurate in the matter of authenticity and condition, but ultimately all lots are sold "as is". Antiques, by their very nature, will exhibit wear, minor losses and breaks, and small repairs commensurate with age. We only note condition issues that in our opinion significantly affect the integrity of the item. Returns will only be considered for items found to be fake/reproduction and/or have significant damage/restoration not noted in the catalogue description. If you are a bidder who demands flawlessness, it is recommended that you examine the item(s) in person, or have a trusted representative inspect the item(s) on your behalf. All measurements are approximate. Please contact us if you require exact measurements. All Oriental rugs are sold strictly "as is" with no guarantees as to age, origin or condition. Absolutely no refunds will be considered on Oriental rugs. Fine jewelry is guaranteed only regarding gold content and authenticity of diamonds. Authenticity of other stones and grades of any stones are not guaranteed. All clocks, watches, music boxes, slot machines, firearms, wind-up toys, and other mechanical devices are sold without guarantee as to the working condition of each lot. We strive to describe accurately all aspects of each lot's condition, including that of mechanical devices, but cannot guarantee the strict accuracy of these reports specifically regarding working condition or mechanical function. Bidders are encouraged to examine personally any lot with respect to mechanical working condition. All Auctions All requests for additional information will be accepted until 3:00 pm ET the day before the auction. Call 540.434.3939, ext. 0 or email info@jeffreysevans.com. The auctioneer reserves the right to make verbal corrections and provide additional information from the auction block at the time of sale. Absentee bids will not be executed on lots found to be other than as described in the catalogue unless one of our representatives has personally conveyed the updated catalogue description to the absentee bidder. The bidder will then have the option to alter or cancel the original absentee bid. Shipping Terms We offer professional packing and shipping services. All packing is done in-house. We pack for shipping only upon request and we work in order of request. Shipment of won lots to an address different from that on file may require verification which can cause up to a 30-day delay in shipping. Once a package is ready to ship it is weighed, measured and processed through the USPS and/or UPS system in order to determine cost of shipping including insurance and additional services (e.g. delivery confirmation) as applicable. Our packing service is billed at a prorated fee of $18.00 per hour, with a $10.00 minimum, plus actual shipping cost, which includes full insurance. We use recycled materials whenever possible at no charge to the buyer. If we use purchased supplies such as boxes, etc., that cost is passed on to the buyer. The actual cost of shipping/insurance and packing/materials cannot be determined until packing is completed. Once known, the shipping charges are applied to the buyer's invoice and he/she is notified of the cost by email (or by phone if we have no email).

Digital copying of images strictly prohibited; violators will be pursued and prosecuted to the full extent of the law including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
