DeFina Auctions Terms and Conditions A 20% buyers premium, for online bidders, will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the purchaser as a part of the total purchase price. ESTIMATES Price ranges listed below with the lot description are estimates and nothing more. We base the estimates on our experts’ opinions and past auction results, taking into account rarity, condition and other subjective criteria. Use the estimates only as approximations, since they may not reflect the actual selling price. CONDITIONS OF SALE We encourage you to call us with questions about our service or items in our auctions. Make certain that you are satisfied with our description before you bid! Your satisfaction with both our merchandise and our auction house is important to us. We try to describe all auction lots completely, fairly, and conservatively, and we make a concerted effort to include defects in descriptions. The lots listed in each auction will be offered by DeFina Auctions to the following terms and conditions: The property is sold "as is", and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor makes any warranties or representations of any kind or nature, and in no event shall be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty of description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property, and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill or sale or invoice, or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty or representation of an assumption of liability. All measures and weights are approximate. Defina Auctions reserves the right to reject any bid, as well as the right to refuse to acknowledge any bidder. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has the final discretion to re-offer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, DeFina Auctions, sale record shall be conclusive. TERMS OF SALE Cash or checks are accepted with positive identification; out of state checks will need a bank letter of credit. All purchases are subject to state tax, unless the buyer has proof of exemption. Gallery bidders must pay for items at the end of each session. We must receive payment from absentee, phone, and online bidders within one week of the auction. ABSENTEE AND TELEPHONE BIDDING If you are interested in absentee or telephone bidding, please e-mail or fax your name and phone number to us. We will call you. When we do call, you will need a Visa or MasterCard number to verify your identity. For absentee bidders, we will execute the bids in a competitive manner, and bid on your behalf as though you were in attendance. We will not be held responsible for failing to execute bids. We extend this service as a courtesy to our customers who cannot attend the sale or who do not wish to be identified as bidders. All bids will be held in strict confidence. Misunderstandings can arise when an absentee bidder is unsuccessful and loses an item to an identical bid or a bid less than the one left. This situation can occur as a result of the monetary bidding increments to which we adhere.
