The following as amended by any posted notices or oral announcements during the sale, constitute the entire terms and conditions on which property listed in the catalog shall be offered for sale or sold by DGW Auctioneers, Inc. and any consignor of such property for whom we act as agents. 1. As used herein the term "Bid Price" means the price at which a lot is knocked down to the purchaser and the term "Purchase Price" means the aggregate of (a) the bid price (b) buyer's premium and (c) unless the purchaser is exempt by law from the payment thereof, any California state or local sales tax (or compensating use tax of another state) and other applicable taxes. Unless exemption from such taxes is established to our satisfaction, any purchaser claiming an exemption will be required to pay the tax to us and seek a refund from the State of California. 2. On the fall of the auctioneer's hammer, the highest bidder shall be deemed to have purchased the offered lot in accordance with all of the conditions set forth herein and thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility therefore (b) will pay the purchase price in full or such part as we may require for all lots purchased. To prevent misdelivery and inconvenience in settlement of a purchase, no lot may be transferred. All property purchased by Absentee, Phone or in-person bids shall be removed from our premises at the purchaser's expense not later than 4:00 PM five days following the date of the sale, unless other arrangements have been agreed with us prior to the auction. If the foregoing conditions or any other applicable conditions herein are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to us and the consignor by law, including but without limitation the right to hold the purchaser liable for the purchase price, we at our option may either (a) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the purchaser or (b) resell the property on three day's notice to the purchaser and for the account and risk of the purchaser, either publicly or privately, and in such event the purchaser shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency plus all costs and expenses of both sales, our commission at our regular rates, all other charges due hereunder and incidental damages. 3. All lots are sold AS-IS and without recourse and neither DGW Auctioneers, Inc., nor its employees or consignor(s) make any warranties or representations, express or implied with respect to such lots. Neither DGW Auctioneers.

Condition reports are usually available on request on lots with a low estimate of $200 and over. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement whether written or oral, and whether made in a catalogue, an advertisement, a bill or sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of the auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. 4. We reserve the right to withdraw any property at any time before actual sale. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalog and no lot shall be divided for sale. 5. We reserve the right to reject a bid from any bidder. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event the auctioneer doubts the validity of any bid, the auctioneer shall have sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to reoffer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sales records shall be conclusive in all respects. 6. If we are prevented by fire, theft, or any other reason whatsoever from delivering any property to the purchaser, our liability shall be limited to the sum actually paid therefore by the purchaser. 7. Where the consignor is indebted to or has a monetary guarantee from us, and in certain instances, we may have any interest in the offered lots and the proceeds there from other than our commissions, we may bid therefore through a representative or agent to protect such interest. We are entitled to our standard commission rate where a lot is "bought-in" to protect our interest. 8. If a lot is offered subject to a reserve (the confidential minimum price below which a lot will not be sold), we may implement such reserve by bidding on behalf of the consignor. Consignors are not allowed to bid on their own items. 9. All statements contained in the catalog or in any bill of sale, invoice or elsewhere as to authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement or condition are qualified statements and shall not be deemed to be representations or warranties.
