These conditions of sale are Nye and Company's, a division of Buck Trout, Inc. ("we," "us" or "our"), and the consignor's entire agreement with the bidder or purchaser ("you" or "your") for the property listed in the auction catalog, other than items listed in advertising for future sales. These conditions of sale and the contents listed in the catalog are subject to amendment by us by the posting of notices or by oral announcements made during the sale. We will offer the property in lots. A lot may consist of a single item of property or multiple items of property as we may determine. Please note that any references to the term "including" are deemed to mean including, by way of example and not of limitation. By bidding at any of our auctions, whether in person or by agent, by written or any other means, you agree to be bound by the following conditions of sale: 1. Property Sold "As Is." All property is sold "As Is" and without any express or implied representation or warranty by us or any consignor, including with respect to warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose or as to the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, authorship, provenance, medium, period, literature, exhibitions, origin, or estimated value of any lot sold. We and the consignor also make no representations or warranties as to whether you will acquire any copyrights, including reproduction rights, in any purchased property. The absence of any reference to the condition of property does not imply perfect or imperfect condition nor does a reference to defects imply the absence of others. No oral or written statement, including in the catalog or an advertisement, bill of sale, gallery or website posting, announcement, or remarks by our staff or agents or the auctioneer, is to be considered a warranty, representation, or assumption of liability. All measurements and weights are approximate. 2. Property Available for Inspection. It is your responsibility to inspect the property before bidding to determine your level of interest. We strongly encourage an inspection so that you may determine the property's condition and whether it has been repaired or restored. 3. Property Withdrawal. We reserve the right to withdraw any property before or at a sale and cannot be held liable for any such withdrawal. 4. Right to Reject Bids. We reserve the right to reject any bid. If the auctioneer decides an opening bid is below the value of the lot offered, the auctioneer may reject that bid and withdraw the lot from sale. If the auctioneer acknowledges an opening bid, and later decides that any additional bid is insufficient, he may reject that advance. If the auctioneer does not receive or accept an advance additional bid, he then at his discretion may pass and not sell that lot. 5. Lots with Reserves; Our Interest in Property. We may offer lots subject to a "reserve," which is a confidential minimum price below which a lot will not be sold. We may implement such reserves by bidding on behalf of the consignor. We also may begin bidding for a lot at a price above the reserve but may reduce the bid below the reserve in order to stimulate the bidding process. We or our affiliates may have an ownership or other financial interest, including as a result of a loan to a consignor, in the outcome of a sale of a lot. 6. Bidding Procedure. The auctioneer, in his sole discretion, may advance the bidding in any manner that he may decide, or withdraw or divide any lot or combine two or more lots. In the event of a bidding dispute, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale, or to re-offer and resell the disputed lot. If a dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive and final. 7. Absentee and Phone Bidding Not Guaranteed.
