2. APPLEGATE AUCTIONS & ESTATE SERVICES, LLC (hereinafter referred to as Applegate), has endeavored to catalogue and describe the property correctly however; all property is sold "as is" "where is" and neither Applegate nor its consignors will be responsible for the description, genuineness, provenance, or condition of the property. All weights and dimensions are to be considered approximate. No statement contained in the catalogue, or made orally at the sale, or elsewhere, shall be deemed to be such a warranty, representation, or an assumption of liability.

ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO REFUNDS.

3. In regard to the works of art contained in the catalogue, Applegate has endeavored to correctly describe and attribute authorship to the best of their knowledge and ability and through the use of outside experts however; since authentication and/or attribution is a matter of scholarship and therefore subject to change, Applegate does not make any express or implied warranties, guarantees, or representations and strongly suggests that prior to bidding the buyer avail himself of his own expert, appraiser, or authenticator and rely solely on his advice or judgement.

4. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer shall have absolute discretion either to determine the successful bidder, in which event his determination shall be final or to re-offer and re-sell the article in dispute.

5. Floor bids take precedence over any other bids regardless of the date or time placed. The live auction console does not differentiate between left bids and live bids; therefore the date and/or time a particular bid is placed has not bearing on which bid is accepted by the auctioneer. Any bidding service offered by Applegate (whether it be absentee, phone, or live bidding), is done so as a courtesy. Applegate is not responsible for errors or for the failure to execute any bid for any reason. 

6. Defects are not necessarily noted in the catalogue.

7. NO WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO ANY DESCRIPTION CONTAINED IN THIS AUCTION. Any description of the items contained in this auction is for the sole purpose of identifying the items, and no description of items has been made part of the basis of the bargain or has created any express warranty that the goods would conform to any description made by the Auctioneer.

8. ALL SHIPPING CHARGES WILL BE BORNE BY THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER. 

Purchased property must be collected within 14 days following the auction. Property not collected within 14 days of the close of the auction will be subject to a storage fee equal to 1.5% of the hammer price per day. Property not collected within 60 days of the close of the auction will be considered abandoned and any monies paid to Applegate by the purchaser will be considered liquidated damages.

9. A buyer's premium of 18% (in-house), and 23% (online) of the purchaser's bid will be added and is payable as part of the total price.
