Registration, Verification & Payment Authorization

All bidders must provide complete and accurate registration information, including valid credit card details, and must be of legal age. By registering, the bidder represents that all information provided is accurate and that they are authorized to use the payment method provided.



If address information does not match, billing discrepancies arise, or fraud is suspected; the Auction Company may require identity verification, including government-issued photo identification, selfie verification, or proof of address. Failure to provide requested verification may result in cancellation, suspension, or refusal of bidding privileges.

The Auction Company reserves the right to require alternative forms of payment for new bidders, high-value invoices, international bidders, or address changes.

AS-IS Condition, Descriptions & Authenticity

All items are sold AS IS, WHERE IS, with all faults, and without warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Any and all warranties, express or implied, are expressly disclaimed.



Descriptions, attributions, cultural references, metal identifications, and gemstone identifications reflect the Auction Company's reasonable opinion based on available information and testing methods at the time of cataloging and are not guarantees unless expressly stated in writing.



Photographs are provided for identification purposes and may not reflect all wear, repairs, or imperfections. Normal wear consistent with age and use may not be specifically described.

No post-sale third-party opinion, grading result, or appraisal shall constitute grounds for cancellation, return, or refund.



Winning Bids, Invoicing & Payment

Invoices will be emailed within a reasonable time following auction close. Full payment is required within the timeframe stated on the invoice.



Failure to complete payment constitutes breach of contract.



The Auction Company may assess liquidated damages of up to fifty percent (50%) of the total invoice amount for canceled, forfeited, reversed, or chargeback transactions. The parties acknowledge that actual damages would be difficult to determine at the time of contracting and agree that this amount represents a reasonable pre-estimate of administrative expense, loss of resale opportunity, reputational harm, market risk, and diminished resale value, and is not a penalty.



Unpaid balances may accrue interest at the statutory rate permitted under Ohio law from the invoice due date until paid in full.



The Auction Company reserves the right to pursue all lawful collection remedies, including recovery of attorney fees, court costs, collection agency fees, and related expenses to the fullest extent permitted by law. Payment obligations survive cancellation or termination of the transaction.



Delivery, Shipping, Risk of Loss & Insurance Title & Risk of Loss

Golden Age Jewelry Auction House is a ship only auction house and no pick-ups from the auction house are permitted. The Auction Company completes all shipping in house and is provided a Fed Ex, fully insured mailing label from LiveAuctioneers shipping program. Carrier confirmation of delivery or delivery attempt creates a rebuttable presumption of completed delivery and fulfillment of the Auction Company's shipping obligation. Once delivery is confirmed by carrier scan or documented delivery attempt at the address provided, the Auction Company's shipping obligation is fulfilled. Failure to sign for, accept, or retrieve a shipment does not constitute non-delivery. Buyer Shipping Responsibility Buyers must provide accurate shipping information. Address changes after payment may require verification and may not be accommodated once shipping preparation begins. Returned shipments due to refusal, failed delivery attempts, incorrect address, or failure to retrieve from carrier location will require payment of re-shipment and handling costs prior to re-delivery. Insurance & Missing Package Procedure (Mandatory) All shipments are insured through a third-party insurer. Customers will need to provide all documentation to the Auction Company for insurance submission. Refunds will not be issued unless and until the insurer approves the claim and funds are received. Failure to cooperate with this procedure releases the Auction Company from further liability related to the shipment.



Chargebacks & Payment Disputes

Initiating a chargeback, ACH reversal, or payment dispute prior to completing the mandatory Insurance & Missing Package Procedure constitutes a material breach of contract.



The Auction Company reserves the right to dispute improper or unauthorized chargebacks and may submit bidder registration data, IP logs, bidding history, electronic acceptance records, invoice documentation, carrier tracking information, GPS delivery confirmation, and communications as evidence of contractual assent and fulfillment.



The bidder remains liable for all invoice amounts, liquidated damages, chargeback fees, collection costs, attorneys' fees, court costs, interest, and related expenses arising from improper disputes to the fullest extent permitted by law.



Nothing herein limits rights under applicable consumer protection law.



The Auction Company may resell unpaid items without further notice to the buyer.



International Shipping & Customs

International buyers are solely responsible for compliance with import laws, duties, VAT, brokerage fees, customs requirements, and related charges. All international shipments will be declared at full invoice value. Items refused, seized, or not cleared through customs may be deemed abandoned without refund.
