Micah Leeth LLC Auctions Conditions of Sale: We strive to represent our items as accurately as possible and note condition of items we feel is pertinent to the value. Normal wear will not be listed. If you would like a detailed description of condition, please call or email for a condition report. It is the Buyer's responsibility to request condition reports. Failure to request a condition report waives the Buyer's rights to rescind a sale based on the condition of an item. We would prefer you examine the items on which you are going to bid. We guarantee the authenticity of origin as stated in the first bold line of the catalog description, with the exception of amendments by any oral or written notices or announcements at the time of the auction. "Origin" is defined as the creator, period, culture, or source, as set forth in the first line of a lot in the catalog. Exclusions Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms of Guarantee, Micah Leeth LLC does not guarantee the names or patterns of any Oriental rugs. All rug dimensions are approximate. Regarding all jewelry, all weights, sizes, grades, and metal content(s) are approximate. Regarding colored stones: purchasers are reminded that colored stones and diamonds may be enhanced by using one or more techniques, including but not limited to: clarity enhancements, resins, and heat treatment. We make no warranty express or implied to the buyer as to whether a natural stone has been enhanced. Buyers who would like to know the fine points regarding condition should call prior to the auction. We would prefer that you examine the items before you place a bid. All other guarantees of authenticity of authorship, expressed or implied, are hereby disclaimed. There is no other warranty, express or implied. Each and every lot is sold "as is". LIABILITY: Micah Leeth LLC guarantees the authenticity of origin of a lot, as stated above, for a period of twenty-one days from the date of the auction and only to the original purchaser of record at the auction. If it is determined to Micah Leeth LLC?s satisfaction that the first bold line is incorrect, the sale will be rescinded provided the lot is returned to Micah Leeth LLC in the same condition in which it was at the time of the auction. It is also our policy to have the purchaser obtain, at the purchaser's expense, the opinion of one (or two in some cases) recognized experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Micah Leeth LLC and the purchaser, before we determines whether to rescind the sale under the above guarantee. The purchaser's sole remedy in the event of disputed authenticity of origin of any lot shall be the rescission of the sale and return of the original purchase price and premium paid by the purchaser. Micah Leeth LLC accepts no liability of any kind for an item after the gavel has fallen. WITHDRAWN LOTS: Micah Leeth reserves the right to withdraw any property before the auction and shall have no liability whatsoever for withdrawal of the property. SUCCESSFUL BIDDERS: The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer is the buyer. The auctioneer is the sole determinant as to who is the successful bidder. Once the auctioneer's gavel falls, the successful bidder immediately assumes full risk and responsibility for the purchased lot. DISPUTED AND REJECTED BIDS: The auctioneer reserves the right to re-open the bidding on the disputed lot. The auctioneer also reserves the right to reject nominal bids and to withdraw from the auction items that do not receive a bid reflective of an item's worth. In the event of discrepancies, sale room records take precedence regarding hammer price and the winning bidder. Bid amounts are incremental. In some cases, a live floor bidder may win an auction with a bid that is equal to the internet absentee bid. For example: The internet absentee was bid in an increment by the live auction provider which had you bidding $200, so the next bid was to the floor at $225 (since this was your top bid) the live auction provider could not bid $250 for you, so it sold to the floor. In short, you were off the increment. This is not controllable (or avoidable) in any way by the live auction house as we do not know what your absentee bid amounts are. ESTIMATES & RESERVES: Presale estimates are intended as guides and may not be reflective of actual gavel price. Some of the items in this auction are subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and Micah Leeth LLC. The reserve will not be higher than the low estimate. CONDITION REPORTS: Absentee bidders should call or email for an updated condition report. This report supersedes the catalog description. Condition reports are uploaded to our website throughout the days preceding the auction. It is the Buyer's responsibility to request a condition report. Failure to request a condition report prior to auction will represent the Buyer's acceptance of our "as-is" policy, with no remedy for issues related to condition of the property as sold. We can answer questions until 24 hours before the start of the first session. BUYERS PREMIUM: A buyer's premium will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the purchaser as part of the total purchase price. The buyer's premium (for bids made in person, or absentee bids placed by phone, fax or email) is 18% of the successful bid price of each lot. SALES TAX: Buyers are required to pay state and local sales tax unless exempted by law. If exempt, buyers must file a tax exemption form with Micah Leeth LLC before any exemption can be made. Ohio residents will be charged 7%, unless exempt. PAYMENT: We do not accept Paypal. Invoices will be emailed to the successful bidder within three business days of the auction. YOUR PAYMENT IS DUE UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR INVOICE. Due to the uncontrollable nature of the delivery of email, if you have participated in an auction, you are encouraged to inquire regarding whether or not you were a successful bidder. Non-receipt of an emailed invoice does not preclude you from your responsibilities for payment. If we do not receive your payment within ten (10) business days of the auction, Micah Leeth LLC reserves the right to move forward with any and all remedies available to us, including reporting your bad debt to the live auction provider and/or any other related entities and charging your credit card on file.
