By registering to bid on this auction you agree to the following terms and conditions.
The bidder must pay the commission and the transaction price within 15 days after receiving the invoice. An invoice is setting out the hammer price plus all other applicable charges, such as the buyer?s premium, taxes, and any additional charges that may apply.
All payments or settlements shall be made in US dollars; buyers shall only collect the lots after full payments are made. Should payments be made by check or draft, lots will only be released after bank clearance. If you fail to pay within 15 days, we will charge your credit card the total amount on your invoice or dispute/cancel the transaction.
If the bidder (buyer) fails to complete the payment within 15 days, our company has the right to dispute the unpaid lot and cancel the transaction. We only accept payment by wire transfer, check and credit card (buyer is responsible for the transaction fees).
If the buyer likes to schedule a pick-up, the full payment will be due prior to the event. If the bidder refuses to pay for the invoice after the successful bidding, the liquidated damages shall be 30% of the amount of the hammer price, which shall be responsible by the buyer.
For international payment, we only accept wire transfer. For all wire transfer, there is $40 Bank Fee Charge. For the American Credit Card, there is a 4% transaction fee.

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. Images descriptions are our opinions and should in no way be construed as a guarantee of any kind as to age, condition, materials, provenance or any other feature of items being sold. We recommend prospective bidders to examine all items in which they have an interest. If you require absolute certainty in all areas of authenticity, and the results of your evaluation leave uncertainty in your mind, we recommend you not bid on the item in question.

At the auctioneer's discretion, no bid of less than one half (1/2) the low estimate will be accepted from any source: phone bidding, absentee bidding, internet bidding, or bidding in the gallery, unless authorized by the auctioneer. All lots in this catalog are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum hammer price at which a lot will be sold.

The bidder (buyer) agrees to pay the freight cost when bidding. The shipping cost of each lot will be confirmed by the bidder (buyer) before the actual transport by the third party. The bidder is also advised to choose the amount of insurance for the completed lot to avoid the loss caused by damage or loss in the process of transportation (the service fee is not included in the transaction price of the lot and shall be paid by the user separately).
