1. GUARANTEE - Most items auctioned are of considerable age and may exhibit wear, usage, repairs and damage. Therefore, all lots are sold "AS IS", except for a forty-five (45) day limited warranty guaranteeing authorship as stated in our catalog description. Buyer agrees and understands that after the forty-five (45) day limited warranty, the Buyer waives all right to request refunds. It is the Buyer's responsibility to be knowledgeable about the condition of the property before bidding. This is a live auction, and the Buyer is advised to inspect the items in person prior to the auction. As a courtesy, Mark Lawson Antiques makes condition reports available prior to the auction. All lots are sold "AS IS". No statement regarding condition, kind, value, or quality of a lot, whether made orally at the auction or at any other time, or in writing in this catalog or elsewhere, shall be construed to be an express or implied warranty, representation, or assumption of liability.

It is both the Buyer's risk and expense for removal and must be made at the conclusion of the sale unless other arrangements are made. Please note any lots we might make arrangements for moving or storing are solely at the risk of the owner and any damage or loss occurring after the fall of the hammer becomes that of the Buyer. 15. AGENT RESPONSIBILITY - If a Buyer is registering or executing a bid for someone else under their number, please bear in mind that the Buyer is responsible for the settlement of that account with us regardless of whether the person the Buyer is executing or registering for pays the Buyer or not. 16.
