GOODS MADE FROM OR CONTAINING MATERIALS FROM PROTECTED SPECIES: NEA does not accept any responsibility or liability for the sale of items containing materials from protected species or for any omission in marking or labeling goods as containing materials from protected species. Such material includes, but is not limited to, ivory from elephants and walruses, tortoise shell, crocodile skin, whalebone, rhinoceros horn, some species of coral and certain woods. Restrictions on the importation, exportation, sale, transfer, and/or possession of goods containing materials from protected species derive from international, federal, and state laws and regulations promulgated thereunder. Laws include, but are not limited to, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES), the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Marine Mammals Protection Act (MMPA). States currently restricting trade of protected species include, but are not limited to, California, New York and New Jersey. Prospective buyers are on notice that several countries completely prohibit importation of property made, all or in part, of protected materials. Some countries require special permits, such as a CITES permit, from the relevant regulating authority in the countries of exportation and importation as well. Potential buyers intending to import the property into another country should be familiar with the relevant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding on goods containing material from protected species. Regulations may vary as the U.S. generally prohibits importation of articles containing material(s) from species it has designated endangered or threatened if the articles are less than 100 years old, subject to certain exceptions. It shall be the potential buyer’s sole responsibility to research and satisfy the requirements of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property as described in the aforementioned paragraphs. All buyers agree to comply with any and all domestic and international restrictions on the trade of protected species as a condition of the sale. Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country, and vice versa. It is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain any export or import licenses and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation. NEA is not able to assist the buyer in attempting to obtain the appropriate licenses and/or certificates, and there is no assurance that an export license or certificate can be obtained. The inability or delay in obtaining permits, licenses or other permissions to import or export goods containing material from protected species will not constitute a basis for rescission or cancellation of the sale of said goods or the delay in payment of purchased items in accordance with these Bidder Terms and Conditions. 10. BIDDING TERMS: The auctioneer will determine the highest bidder. The auctioneer alone has the right to reopen the bidding of an item at any time if deemed necessary due to a dispute. If there is a tie bid between the floor and Internet or absentee bid, the floor bid takes precedence. In the event of a tie internet bid, the auctioneer will choose the highest bidder. NEA and its representatives reserve the right to remove those attendees who impede preview and/or the auction. NEA is not responsible for any errors in bids, omissions of bids, or failure to execute bids and shall have no liability to any bidder for any technical or other failure associated with internet, absentee bidding, or telephone bidding. In the event of an on-site utilities or internet services interruption, the auction will be suspended until such a time that the utility can be restored. Consignors are not allowed to bid on their own merchandise nor have any agent bid on their behalf. If the Auctioneer recognizes such bidding, the Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any or all items consigned by the offending consignor. a. ABSENTEE BIDDING: NEA will accept absentee bids if pre-authorized by mail, phone, email, online, or in-person. Absentee bidders must use the absentee bid form and clearly mark the lot number, title and maximum bid amount. If there are two (2) identical bids placed on the same item, priority will be given to the first bid received. All bids must be left in increments as published for that particular auction. If a bid is “out of increment,” the auctioneer will automatically round the bid down to the next correct increment. Seller(s) agree to allow the Auctioneer to accept and execute absentee bids in a competitive manner for potential buyers and under the NEA absentee bidding terms and conditions. During the live sale, the auctioneer will execute absentee bids competitively (starting with the lowest possible bid point) up to the maximum amount indicated. b. ONLINE BIDDING: Online bidding through www.nesteggauctions.com, Live Auctioneers, Invaluable, Hibid, or other bidding platforms may be available. These terms and conditions apply, as well as additional terms and conditions for each third-party platform. These Terms & Conditions will take deference over any posted online terms and agreements. A surcharge may be added for third party online platforms. Refer to the bidding platform of choice for the final buyer’s premium. If there is a tie bid between the internet bidding venues and the floor, the floor bid takes precedence. Due to our fast paced auctions and bids coming from floor bidders, phone bidders, Internet bidders and absentee bids, the auctioneer has the final word on all item(s) sold. The bidder assumes the risk of winning an item online and discovering the item has sold to another bidder. This is due to the final call of the auctioneer and the operator not being able to re-open that lot. Registered Online bidders are fully responsible for accidental bidding as if they bid normally. c. BID RESULTS: NEA will only contact successful bidders. Please allow up to 48 hours post auction to receive an official invoice directly from NEA. The invoice will include the lot info, hammer price, premium, and any other charges that apply. Please hold phone inquiries regarding bid success until after receiving the invoice. For verifications, NEA cannot provide winning bid information until the second business day after the auction. NEA does not provide bidder information to any outside sources. d. TELEPHONE BIDDING: Requests for phone lines must be received at least three (3) days prior to the auction date. NEA cannot guarantee phone lines but will make every attempt to accommodate those who wish to participate live via phones. Phone lines are provided to qualified bidders at NEA's preference. Please contact us directly to arrange phone bidding.203-630-1400. Minimum bid requirements may apply. e. BIDDERS PRESENT AND TAKING ITEMS AFTER AUCTION: Since item liability transfers upon a successful bid, items paid for must be packed, transported and/or removed by the buyer at his/ her own risk after the close of the sale. NEA recommends that buyers arrange insurance for all items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. If any employee or agent of NEA shall pack or transport the merchandise, it is fully at the risk and responsibility and expense of the buyer. NEA shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee. f. RESERVES: The majority of our items are unreserved, but occasionally items may carry a moderate reserve. Please note that when a lot carries a reserve, the reserve is at or below low estimate. In the case of a reserved item, the seller has authorized the auctioneer to bid on their behalf until the reserve price is reached. The auctioneer will note if a buyer is bidding against the reserve. 11. PAYMENT TERMS: NEA accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, personal checks, certified checks, wire transfers, money orders, and cash. Any invoice totaling more than $25,000 must be paid within three (3) business days of the auction date. All other merchandise must be paid in full within seven (7) days of the date of the invoice. Credit Card Payments are only accepted in-person, or through our secure online portal. We do not accept credit cards over the phone. Upon payment in full, it is the bidder’s responsibility to submit any additional information necessary, to initiate shipping. Invoices over $5,000 may be subject to mandatory check or wire payment. Buyer authorizes NEA to sell, at their standard commission and consignment contract terms, any goods not retrieved after a 90-day period in any manner deemed appropriate by NEA and the proceeds will be applied to any outstanding balance due from the buyer. a. CREDIT CARDS: Link for online credit card payment will be listed in the buyers invoice. Credit Card payments are subject to maximum buyers premium, but can be discounted by 3% if payment is received by cash, check, money order or wire transfer. Credit Card payments are only accepted from the buyers name listed on the invoice. NEA reserves the right to refuse to ship to a different address than the billing address on the credit card being used.
