Photographic images, condition reports, and any supplemental materials are provided for the convenience of prospective bidders and are not intended to be comprehensive or definitive.

3. BUYER?S REMEDIES FOR COUNTERFEIT ITEMS. In the event an item is alleged to be counterfeit, the buyer may submit a claim for remedy. If such a claim is made within the thirty (30) day unconditional return period, ANTIQUE ARENA may, at its sole discretion, issue a full refund of the purchase price. After the expiration of the thirty (30) day return period, no claims for refund or return will be accepted unless the buyer provides, at their own expense, written documentation from two (2) independent and recognized experts in the relevant field, each attesting that the item is not authentic. Such documentation must be submitted within a reasonable time frame and in a form acceptable to ANTIQUE ARENA.
All buyers are strongly encouraged to review all available information and conduct independent due diligence prior to bidding. ANTIQUE ARENA shall not be held liable for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in the catalog, condition reports, or supplemental materials unless otherwise stated herein.

4. AUTHENTICATION AND ATTRIBUTION. Antique Arena encourages transparency regarding the history and attribution of items listed for auction. While sellers are recommended to share available documentation, such as provenance records or third-party authenticity assessments, Antique Arena does not independently verify, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy of such materials, the authorship of artworks, or the authenticity of items. The platform reserves the right to review or remove listings if concerns arise about an item?s attribution or documentation, which may also impact seller account status. Buyers are advised to conduct their own due diligence or consult experts before participating in auctions.

5. COOPERATION WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AND LEGAL BODIES. Antique Arena is dedicated to upholding the law and will fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies and legal bodies in matters related to counterfeit or fraudulent items.

Sellers acknowledge and agree that their information may be disclosed as part of compliance with legal processes.

6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Antique Arena?s descriptions of auction items are based on information provided by the seller and are not guaranteed.

The buyer?s premium will be 23% provided the payment is made by cash, money order, cashier?s check, wire transfer, or approved personal check. The buyer?s premium will be added to each Hammer price and the two together equal the total purchase price.

Buyers claiming exemption from sales tax must have the appropriate documentation on file with ANTIQUE ARENA prior to the release of the property. If property is delivered to a state where ANTIQUE ARENA is not required to collect sales tax, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to self-assess any sales or use tax and remit it to taxing authorities in that state. ANTIQUE ARENA is not required to collect sales tax for property delivered to the purchaser outside of the United States.

When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer's premium and all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable fees and charges.

ANTIQUE ARENA shall hold any money deposited in partial payment on account of any liability of the defaulted item and will apply it at the sole discretion of ANTIQUE ARENA to the outstanding debt. ANTIQUE ARENA may, in its sole discretion, apply any proceeds of sale then due or thereafter becoming due to the purchaser from us, or any payment made by the purchaser to us, whether or not intended to reduce the purchaser's obligations with respect to the unpaid lot or lots, to the deficiency and any other amounts due to us. The purchaser acknowledges that should the purchaser not comply with any of the terms and conditions of sale, including payment of the full amount indicated on the buyer's invoice, the damages incurred by ANTIQUE ARENA includes, without limitation, seller commission, loss of use of money for an indefinite period, costs to relist the item and potential depreciation of the item, and loss arising on the resale of the lot, whether such damages are now known or may become known in the future. Accordingly, in the event the purchaser fails to pay the full amount indicated on the buyer's invoice within 45 days after the auction, purchaser shall be immediately liable for liquidated damages in an amount equal to 30% of the amount on the buyer's invoice. Liquidated damages are in addition to the total amount on the buyer?s invoice and any applicable interest. Subject to fulfillment of all of the conditions set forth herein, on the fall of the auctioneer's hammer, title to the offered lot will pass to the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer, and such bidder thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility therefore (including, without limitation, liability for loss, destruction, or damage) and (b) will immediately pay the full purchase price or such part as we may require.

12. WITHDRAWAL. ANTIQUE ARENA reserves the right to withdraw from the auction, rearrange, separate, or exclude any property before or during the sale without notice and shall have no liability whatsoever for such actions.

13. PROTESTS, DISPUTES, AND THE AUCTIONEER. ANTIQUE ARENA and its Auctioneer have the right at its absolute and sole discretion to reject or refuse a bid from any bidder, to advance the bidding in such a manner as we may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute, whether during or after the sale. The highest bidder, acknowledged by the Auctioneer, will be the purchaser. The Auctioneer shall have sole and final discretion as to the disposition of any dispute including the re-offer and resale of any article in dispute. ANTIQUE ARENA records will be deemed conclusive in all respect in the event there is any dispute after the sale.

14. RESERVES. Some items in the auction may be subject to reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. If a lot is offered with a reserve, ANTIQUE ARENA may implement that reserve by bidding on behalf of the seller. Once bidding is opened ANTIQUE ARENA will bid on behalf of the seller to reach the reserve price. The Auctioneer may reject nominal bids, which are small opening bids or very nominal advances made with the purpose of disparaging an item. If a lot fails to achieve a bid equal to or exceeding 25 - 30% of the low estimate, the item may be passed and not sold and may not be re-offered until a later sale. This determination of whether to sell the item at the current auction or re-offer it at a later auction is at the sole discretion of the Auctioneer. Items which are not reserved are sold at the auctioneer?s discretion.

15. BIDS OF SELLERS. Sellers, other than ANTIQUE ARENA, are not allowed to bid on their own merchandise nor have any agent bid on their behalf. If the Auctioneer recognizes such bidding or is advised of same, the Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any or all items sold by the offending seller. It is not prohibited conduct under this Section when an Auctioneer bids on behalf of the seller to reach the reserve price.

17. FINANCIAL INTEREST IN PROPERTY. Purchaser acknowledges that ANTIQUE ARENA has a financial interest in all items offered for sale since it is paid a seller?s commission and buyer?s premium. Additionally, Purchaser acknowledges that a conflict of interest may exist because ANTIQUE ARENA, its officers or employees, or an entity owned by one or more of them, may have a financial interest in an item offered for sale beyond the seller?s commission and buyer?s premium, which may include an ownership interest or a guaranteed amount offered by ANTIQUE ARENA to a seller of an item for sale. The items offered for sale by ANTIQUE ARENA are offered either as agent for sellers or as owner. ANTIQUE ARENA buys items on the open market for sale through an auction or may offer a guarantee to a seller. In either event, ANTIQUE ARENA can have an ownership or other financial interest in the item(s) being auctioned. Such interest in the item(s) being auctioned may not be disclosed.
