6. Lot Descriptions: Palm Beach Modern Auctions has described each lot as accurately as possible. Measurements are approximate and are used mainly for shipping purposes. Bidders should call, e-mail, or fax us with any questions prior to placing their bids.

8. Estimates: Estimates are provided only as a guide for prospective buyers.
9. Reserve Price: Some lots offered are subject to a reserve. A reserve is a confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. We will act to protect the reserve by bidding through the auctioneer. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller and may continue to bid on behalf of the Seller up to the amount of the reserve.
10. Inquiries: If you have questions regarding a lot, please e-mail us specific questions.
11. Withdrawals: Palm Beach Modern Auctions reserves the right to withdraw any item from the auction for any reason and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal.
12. Shipping/Pick-up/Storage: We will assist customers in obtaining shipping quotes and with the shipping process after the auction is completed. If you would like to obtain a shipping quote prior to the auction, please contact us by phone or email for a list of shippers, or contact your own shipper (we do not pack or ship items for insurance reasons, and any shipping list provided is only provided as a service to our clients; we do not endorse any of these shipping companies).

After 180 days following the close of the auction, any lot which is not picked up will become the property of Palm Beach Modern Auctions and may be disposed of in any manner by Palm Beach Modern Auctions without recourse.
13. Rescission of Sale: If we become aware of an adverse claim of a third party relating to property purchased by the buyer, we may, in our discretion, rescind the sale. Upon notice of our election to rescind a sale, the buyer will promptly return the property to us, at which time we will refund to the buyer the hammer price and buyer's premium paid to us by the buyer in respect of the property. This refund will represent the buyer's sole remedy against us and/or the consignor in case of a rescission of sale under this paragraph.
14. Severability: If any provision of the 'Auction Terms and Conditions' is held by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be disregarded and the remaining 'Auction Terms and Conditions' enforced in accordance with the original document and in accordance with applicable law.
15. Governing Law: The 'Auction Terms and Conditions' shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the law of the State of Florida and, by registering for and bidding in the auction (whether personally, by telephone or by agent), the buyer agrees to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts located in Palm Beach County, Florida, in connection with any matter regarding this auction.
