By bidding at our auction, whether in person, by phone, absentee bid, or on the internet, you agree to the following terms and conditions. 1. There is a buyer’s premium added to the successful bid price of every lot, which the purchaser of the lot agrees to pay along with applicable taxes as part of the total purchase price. The buyer's premium for lots purchased online via ebayliveauctions is 20% of the successful bid price. The buyer's premium is 15% for lots purchased via live bidding, phone, or absentee bidding. Payment may be in the form of Cash, ersonal check, bank check, Mastercard, Visa, or American Express. Trinity Fine Arts has the right to hold merchandise if paid for by personal check until such time as the check has cleared. 2. All sales are subject to a Connecticut state sales tax of 6% unless the purchaser provides the auction house with a valid resale certificate exempting him from payment of the tax, or if the purchaser is from outside of Connecticut and has the purchase shipped to a location outside of the state. 3. The items offered for sale by Trinity Fine Arts, LLC (herein after referred to as “TFA,” “We,” and “Us”) are offered by us as owner or as agent for consignors. 4. Bidders are strongly urged to personally examine each lot on which they will be bidding, in order to determine condition, size, and restoration or repair. All items are sold “as is” and “where is.” Trinity Fine Arts, LLC. disclaims any express or implied warranties or guarantees as to the authenticity, condition, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, correctness of the catalog or supplemental material, or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, exhibitions, literature or historical relevance of any property. No statement made anywhere, by us, our employees, officers, or agents, whether written or verbal, shall be deemed such a warranty or assumption of liability. Photographic images of items being offered, whether provided in print or online, as well as references in the catalogue entry or condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defect or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. Neither TFA nor its consignors are responsible in any way for errors and omissions in the catalogue, or any supplemental material. All sales are considered final with the following exception: TFA will agree to a refund of the purchase price if within fourteen (14) days of purchase, the purchaser obtains and sends to TFA a written letter from a mutually recognized expert or authority on the artist stating unequivocally that the work is a forgery or not by the represented artist. The choice of expert or authority must be mutually agreeable to TFA and the purchaser. This exception will only apply to a work signed by the artist and not to an attribution, manner of, school of, circle of or follower of a particular artist. The letter must be signed, and on letterhead of the recognized expert or authority. Any exceptions to this rule must be specifically approved by TFA. 5. TFA reserves the right to require bank or other financial references for participation in the auction or bidding on a specific lot. TFA has the right at our complete discretion to refuse any individual bidder’s participation in any auction. 6. We reserve the right to withdraw any property before the sale and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal. 7. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue. 8. We reserve the right to reject any bid. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt on our part as to the validity of any bid, we will have the final discretion to determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale, or to reoffer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. 9. Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. No reserve will exceed the low presale estimate stated in the catalogue, or as amended by oral or posted notices. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, the absence thereof, in the absolute discretion of TFA. We may implement reserves by opening the bidding on behalf of the consignor and may bid up to the amount of the reserve, by placing successive or consecutive bids for a lot, or bids in response to other bidders. In instances where we have an interest in the lot other than our commission, we may bid up to the reserve to protect such interest. In certain instances, the consignor may pay us less than the standard commission rate where a lot is “bought-in” to protect its reserve. If the auctioneer decides that any opening bid is below the reserve of the article offered, he may reject the same and withdraw the article. 10. All merchandise purchased must be paid for and removed within three days of the sale. If payment in full in good, cleared funds is not received within seven calendar days following the auction, we reserve the right to a) hold the defaulting buyer liable for the total amount due and to begin legal proceedings for its recovery together with interest, legal fees, and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law b) cancel the sale c) to resell the property publicly or privately on such terms as we find appropriate d) resell the property at public auction without reserve, and the purchaser will be liable for any deficiency, cost, including handling charges, the expenses of both sales, our commission on both sales at our regular rate, all other charges due hereunder and incidental damages. In addition, a defaulting purchaser will be deemed to have granted us a security interest in, and we may retain as collateral security for such purchaser's obligations to us, any property in our possession owned by such purchaser. At our option, payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until we have collected funds represented by checks, or in the case of bank or cashier's checks, we have confirmed their authenticity. 11. TFA reserves the right to charge a monthly fee of one percent (1%) per month of the amount of the purchase price for any lot not removed after three days. If property is not picked up within sixty days, we reserve the right to send the purchased property to a public warehouse for the account, and expense of the bidder. 12. TFA is under no obligation, but may agree, to package and ship an item at the request of the purchaser. The purchaser agrees that packaging, shipping and handling is the absolute risk of the purchaser. The purchaser will pay all costs including, but not limited to, the handling and insurance associated with shipping. TFA will be held harmless from any claim and any rights of subrogation from an insurance carrier are waived against TFA. 13. Title on the offered lots passes to the highest bidder as acknowledged by the auctioneer on the fall of his hammer or other acceptance of the highest bidder’s bid as the final hammer price. Immediately thereupon the highest bidder assumes full risk and responsibility for the purchased property, including liability for damage to the property. If any applicable conditions herein are not complied with by the purchaser, and in addition to other remedies available to us, we reserve the right to hold the purchaser liable for the total purchase price including all fees, charges and expenses related to the purchase of the lot. In addition, if any applicable conditions herein are not complied with by the purchaser, we reserve the right to cancel the sale and/or resell the purchased property. 14. We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids delivered to us prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and at the auction these are the highest bids on the lot, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with it. With regards to telephone bids, if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone but we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding. We are also not liable for any failure or execution to take bids submitted to us via third party internet sites such as eBay, nor are we liable for any technical difficulties involved in receiving those bids. 15. In no event will our liability to a purchaser exceed the purchase price actually paid. 16. TFA reserves the right to waive or modify the conditions and terms of sale by verbal or written agreement. Bidding on any item indicates your acceptance of these terms and conditions, as outlined above.
