These Terms apply to ALL sales, including those by Auction, Private Sale and Buy Now. Massachusetts Auctioneer #121. A. All items are sold as is, where is, with all faults. There are no warranties or representations of merchantability, fitness, nor of any other kind, express or implied. All artists' names and dates recorded in this catalog are not to be taken as unqualified attributions to the artists named. No attributions to any artist or date are made or intended as to authorship or date of execution. Therefore, none of the property in this catalog is subject to any guarantee of authenticity and all of the property is sold "as is". All items are available for your examination prior to bidding. Your bidding will signify that you have examined the items as fully as you desire, or that you have chosen not to examine them. Written and oral descriptions are opinions and should in no way be construed as a guarantee of any kind as to age, condition, authenticity, materials or any other feature of items being sold. 500 Gallery recommends prospective bidders examine all items in which they have an interest. In the case of online-only auctions, examination of photographs of the objects may be supplemented with verbal descriptions by calling 500 Gallery at 508-533-6277 with questions. If you require absolute certainty in all areas of authenticity, and the results of your evaluation leaves uncertainty in your mind, we recommend you not bid on the item in question. Any statement, written or verbal, made by the auctioneer or any agent or employee of 500 Gallery shall not be deemed a warranty or assumption of liability by 500 Gallery or by any seller represented by 500 Gallery. B. Bidding will begin at a price determined by the auctioneer at his sole discretion. The Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw a lot for any reason he deems appropriate. At the Auctioneer's sole discretion, no bid of less than one-half the low estimates will be accepted from any source: phone bidding, absentee bidding, internet bidding, or bidding at 500 Gallery. Some lots in this catalog are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum hammer price at which a lot will be sold. In executing a reserve, the Auctioneer has the right to bid on behalf of the Consignor, whether by opening bidding or continuing bidding in response to other bidders until reaching the reserve. If the reserve is not met, the Auctioneer has the right to withdraw the item from the sale. The Auctioneer may rescind the sale of any lot if a catalog description is in error or if a lot was listed in error. C. Once 500 Gallery declares that an item is sold, 500 Gallery cannot reopen the bidding. 500 Gallery reserves the right to reject any bids deemed inappropriate or to withdraw any item(s) for lack of appropriate bids. If an item is withdrawn from the auction, it will be offered again only at the Auctioneer's sole discretion. D.
