1. CATALOGUE DESCRIPTIONS

WIEDERSEIM ASSOCIATES, INC. has endeavored to accurately describe all items being sold, but all property is being sold “AS IS”, “WHERE IS”. No statement in this catalogue, invoice, bill of sale, or elsewhere by any representative or person in the employ of WIEDERSEIM ASSOCIATES, INC., shall be deemed a warranty, representation, or assumption of liability with respect to age, condition, size, quality, variety, importance, provenance, material of manufacture, metal content or assay, stone identification, weight, or size measurement, or historical relevance of any of the items offered for sale. Any potential Bidders accept sole responsibility for contacting us to obtain condition reports on any offered lots and/or inspect said lots before bidding to determine the condition and if there are any repairs or restorations. If a lot description contains the phrase “As found” it indicates that there are general “issues/difficulties” and no further condition report will be available. CONDITION REPORT REQUESTS: Any requests received after 12:00 Noon the day before the start of an Auction may not be answered. Questions cannot and will not be answered once the Auction has started. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging. Wiederseim Associates will endeavor to provide additional information as a courtesy, but it is only an opinion and should not be regarded as a statement of fact. ALL SALES ARE FINAL! Any items purchased and removed from the auction cannot be returned.

2. BIDDING

The Auctioneer will attempt to follow bidding increments as precisely as possible, but retains the discretion to change increments and further reserves the right to reject any bid or raise in bid. As a service to our customers WIEDERSEIM ASSOCIATES, INC. offers Internet Bidding, both Absentee and Live, through Live Auctioneers. Please visit www.liveauctioneers.com to review current sale offerings and details for bidding. The Auctioneer is not liable for, nor has control of, online transmission speeds or bid increments placed by registered  internet users. WIEDERSEIM ASSOCIATES,, INC. reserves the right to limit lots offered for auction through Live Auctioneers and is not liable for any errors or failure in execution of any bid in connection with this process. Certain lots may be subject to a reserve or minimum price as agreed upon by WIEDERSEIM ASSOCIATES, INC. and the Consignor. The Auctioneer will execute the reserve on behalf of the Consignor. WIEDERSEIM ASSOCIATES, INC. reserves the right to withdraw any property prior to the Auction.

3. PAYMENT TERMS

All accounts are to be settled by the end of the day. Payment shall be in cash, money order or cashier’s check- call for further payment options. Personal and business checks will be accepted if good credit has already been established with WIEDERSEIM ASSOCIATES, INC., or a personal reference from individuals known to us or upon presentation of a “letter of guarantee” from an officer of your bank. This letter must state an exact amount of funds guaranteed, expressly stating the funds are payable to WIEDERSEIM ASSOCIATES, INC. on the specific day of the Auction. In any event, WIEDERSEIM ASSOCIATES, INC. reserves the right to hold all or some of the merchandise purchased until good payment is received and/or any check has cleared our bank and with all items to be shipped at the purchaser’s expense. A service charge of $25.00 will be charged for any returned check. We DO NOT accept PayPal.

4. DISPUTES & TITLE TO GOODS

In the event of a dispute, the Auctioneer will be the final judge as to which Bidder is successful. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion, re-open the bidding on a particular item. Title shall pass on all items sold when the Auctioneer says “SOLD”. The Purchaser assumes total and full responsibility for all goods at that time, and is responsible for payment for all items whether or not the Purchaser actually takes possession at that time. If any dispute arises after the conclusion of the Auction, the records of the Auctioneer and Clerk shall stand as conclusive.  Any loss or damage by breakage, natural disaster, theft or any other cause is therefore the sole and entire responsibility of the Purchaser.

5. BUYER’S PREMIUM & SALES TAX

Each individual Lot sold is subject to a 17% Buyer’s Premium which will be added to the successful bid price of each Lot and is payable by the Purchaser as part of the total purchase price. Separate Terms apply to internet bidding. A 6% State of Pennsylvania sales tax will be added to the total purchase price, unless purchased for resale or exempt from tax by other Pennsylvania law. All Bidders who qualify for exemption must file a Sales Tax exemption form with WIEDERSEIM ASSOCIATES, INC.

6. REMOVAL OF GOODS

All property is to be removed from the premises at the risk and expense of the purchaser, subject to limitations stated at the time of sale. Any items left at the sale site are left there at the purchaser’s risk. A charge of $25.00 per lot for furniture and $10.00 per lot for smalls will be billed for items packed and removed to our warehouse. Additional storage fees will be charged for items left more than one week. The Auctioneer assumes no responsibility for abandoned items. If items are left for pickup, they must be paid for, in full, on the day of the sale.

7. ERRORS OR OMISSIONS

WIEDERSEIM ASSOCIATES, INC. is not responsible for any typographical or other error or omission in this catalogue or in any advertising connected to this sale.
