This non-assignable guarantee is applicable only to the receipt-bearing original purchaser. The guarantee does not apply to (a) lot with a heading or description which includes the word or words “after” or “attributed” or “ manor” or “style” or “school” or “circle” or “collection” or “signed” (b) lots with a low estimate of $500 or less, (c) lots offered without an estimate.

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, the auctioneer will have the final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. Although at our discretion we will execute order bids as a convenience to clients who are not present at auctions, we are not responsible for any errors or omissions in connection therewith. Please note some pieces will be sold unframed, as noted in catalogue. 

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 from sale, and if, having acknowledged an opening bid he decides that any advance thereafter is insufficient, he may reject the advance. 

On the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, title to the offered lot will pass to the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer, subject to fulfillment by such bidder of all the conditions set forth herein. Such bidder thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility and therefore, (b) will pay the full purchase price upon notification that client is the successful bidder.

In the event a purchaser pays a portion of the total purchase price, we may apply payment in our sole discretion to the lot we deem appropriate. We shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the California Uniform Commercial Code with respect to such property and we may apply against such obligations all monies held or received by us, or due from us, to the account of the purchaser. At our option, payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until we have collected good funds represented by checks, or, in the case of bank or cashier’s checks, we have confirmed their authenticity. 

Some lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which such a lot will not be sold. We may implement such reserves by bidding, on behalf of the Consignor. 

Unless exempted by law, the purchaser will be required to pay the California State and local sales tax or any applicable compensating use tax of another state on the total purchase price. The local and state tax combined is 9.50%
