TERMS & CONDITIONS
CONDITIONS OF SALE
The lots listed in this catalogue will be offered by Kelmscott's Fine Art as owner
or agent for the consignor(s) and are subject to the following terms and conditions.
By bidding at auction, you agree to be bound by these Conditions of Sale.
PRE - AUCTION
Prospective buyers are strongly advised to personally examine property in which
they are interested before the auction starts. Condition reports are also available
upon request. All lots are sold AS IS and without recourse. Neither Kelmscott's
Fine Art nor its consignor(s) makes any expressed or implied warranty or
representation of any kind with respect to fitness for purpose, accuracy of the
catalogue in regards to description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity,
importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period,
culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature, or historical significance of any lot
sold. The absence of any reference to condition does not imply a lot is in perfect
condition or free from wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging. No
statement whether written or oral, whether made in the catalogue, an
advertisement, bill of sale, salesroom posting, remarks of the auctioneer, or
otherwise, shall be deemed as a warranty, representation, or assumption of liability.
Kelmscott's Fine Art nor its consignor(s) makes no warranty or representation,
expressed or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction
rights to any lot sold. Kelmscott's Fine Art expressly reserves the right to
reproduce any image of the lots sold in the catalogue.
REFUSAL OF ADMISSION
Kelmscott's Fine Art reserves the right, at their complete discretion, to refuse
admission to the premises, participation in any auction, and to reject any bid.
BIDDING AS PRINCIPAL
When placing a bid, the bidder accepts personal liability to pay the purchase price
including buyer's premium, any applicable taxes, and any other applicable charges.
Only if explicitly agreed upon in writing with Kelmscott's Fine Art before the
commencement of the auction that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an
identified third party acceptable to Kelmscott's Fine Art, will Kelmscott's Fine Art
then look to the principal for payment.
ABSENTEE BIDS
Kelmscott's Fine Art will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given
prior to the auction for the convenience of clients who are unable to be present at
the auction, represented by an agent, or by telephone. All bids must be placed in
US dollars (USD). If written bids are received on a particular lot for identical
amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot during the auction, the lot will
be sold to the bidder whose bid was received and accepted first. Execution of
written bids is a complimentary service undertaken by Kelmscott’s Fine Art. If
there are other commitments at the time of auction rendering Kelmscott’s Fine Art
unable to execute a written bid, Kelmscott’s Fine Art does not accept liability for
failing to execute a written bid or for errors and/or omissions in connection with
the absentee bid.
TELEPHONE BIDS
Lots with a low estimate of $500 or greater are eligible for bidding via telephone
if a bidder makes arrangements with Kelmscott’s Fine Art by the end of business
the day before the auction takes place. No telephone bids will be registered the day
of the auction. Kelmscott’s Fine Art will use reasonable efforts to contact the
bidder during the auction and does not accept liability for failure to do so nor for
errors and/or omissions in connection with bidding via telephone. Telephone bids
may be recorded at the discretion of Kelmscott’s Fine Art.
ONLINE BIDS
Kelmscott’s Fine Art will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and does
not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the internet, or
software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids. The auctioneer may
occasionally experience internet and/or server service outages. The auctioneer may
periodically schedule system downtime for maintenance, during which bidders
may be unable to place bids or participate in the auction. If such outages occur,
Kelmscott’s Fine Art may extend bidding for the auction. Bidders unable to place
bids through the Internet are directed to contact Kelmscott’s Fine Art client
services at info@kelmscotts.com
RESERVES
Some lots in the catalogue are subject to a reserve price, which is a confidential
minimum price below which said lot shall not be sold. The reserve shall not
exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserve prices are agreed upon between the
consignor(s) and Kelmscott’s Fine Art and are at the absolute discretion of
Kelmscott’s Fine Art. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the
reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to
bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing
consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to
lots offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the
auctioneer at his/her discretion may open the bidding at half of the low estimate
for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed
backwards at his/her discretion until a bid is recognized and then continue from
that amount to determine the successful bidder.
AUCTIONEER’S DISCRETION
The auctioneer has the right, at his or her sole discretion, to refuse any bid, to
advance bidding in such a manner as he or she decides, to withdraw any lot, and in
the case of error or dispute whether during the auction or afterwards, to determine
the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale, or to resell the lot
in dispute.
POST - AUCTION
BUYER’S PREMIUM
In addition to the hammer price, the successful bidder agrees to pay Kelmscott’s
Fine Art a buyer's premium and any applicable sales tax per lot purchased. The
buyer's premium for all lots purchased through Kelmscott’s Fine Art with an in house paddle number is an additional twenty-six percent (26%) of the hammer
price. For all lots purchased through live online bidding platforms, there will be a
buyer's premium of twenty-eight percent (28%) added to the hammer price.

premium, and any other applicable taxes or charges) no later than close of business

agrees to pay all state sales tax as required by the delivery state. The bidder agrees
to pay Kelmscott’s Fine Art the actual amount of tax due in the event that sales tax

certification, or due to an inaccurate representation of the applicable statute. Any
applicable forms or certificates must be on file, in the form of a hard copy, with
Kelmscott’s Fine Art prior to the auction or tax must be paid. No refunds of taxes

or packers without the purchaser's written consent and until payment has been
made in full. Kelmscott’s Fine Art will assume no liability of loss or damage to
