ACME Auctions Terms & Conditions
By registering and bidding, all participants agree to these Terms & Conditions. These terms govern the auction in full, superseding all prior announcements, advertisements, and published materials.

1. Bidding & Registration:
Bidders must register with valid ID and credit card to participate. The Auctioneer reserves the right to deny registration based on a bidders record with previous auctioneers or Live Auctioneers.

2. Buyers Premium & Payment:
A 25% buyers premium plus applicable sales tax applies to all purchases. Buyers premium may be lower over a certain amount for some auctions - the details of which can be found in the auction description. Payments are processed through LiveAuctioneers and charged to the card on file within 24 hours post-auction. Full payment is required within 5 business days. Failure to pay may result in sale cancellation, financial liability, and disputes filed with LiveAuctioneers.

3. Shipping & Combined Invoices:
All shipping is handled in-house. There may be a shipping promotion for some auctions so please read the auction description carefully. Multiple lots will be combined for cost-effective shipping. Please await a revised invoice before submitting payment. Customs declarations reflect full sales price. Insurance is available at buyer?s request. International buyers are responsible for customs, taxes, and duties.

5. Estimates & Reserves:
Pre-sale estimates are for reference and do not predict final sale price. Some lots are subject to confidential reserves.

6. Auctioneer Authority:
Auctioneer has sole discretion over bid acceptance, lot withdrawal, bidding increments, and pace of sale. Proxy bidding up to reserve is permitted.

7. Internet & Absentee Bidding:
Online bidding is offered as a convenience. ACME Auctions is not responsible for technical failures. In combined live/online auctions, floor bids take precedence over internet bids.

8. Ownership & Risk of Loss:
Ownership and risk transfer to the buyer at the fall of the hammer. Buyers are responsible for the security and transport of their purchases.

Returns are only accepted if (a) the physical condition materially differs from the catalog description, (b) a condition report was requested and provided prior to bidding, and (c) the buyer notifies ACME within 24 hours of receipt.
