Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale. No lot will be broken up unless otherwise permitted by the Auctioneer. Lots will be sold in their numbered sequence unless Auctioneer directs otherwise. It is unlawful and illegal for Bidders to collude, pool, or agree with another Bidder to pay less than the fair value for lot(s). Bidders in the Auction Sale acknowledge that the law provides for substantial penalties in the form of treble damages and attorney’s fees and costs for those who violate these provisions. All material shall be sold in separate lots to the highest Bidder as determined by the Auctioneer. If any dispute arises, Auctioneer shall have the right to rescind the acceptance of the bid and place the lot(s) for Auction Sale again. Auctioneer’s decision shall be final. For the Mail and Internet Bidder’s protection, no “unlimited” or “buy” bids will be accepted. When the identical bids are received for a lot, preference is given to the first bid received as determined by the Auctioneer. A mail bid will take precedence over an identical floor bid; a Floor Bidder and Telephone Bidder must bid higher than the highest mail bid to be awarded any lot. Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse any bid, to reduce any mail bid received, to open the bidding of a lot at any level deemed appropriate by the Auctioneer and to determine the prevailing bid, at his sole discretion. THIS IS NOT AN APPROVAL SALE. Bidders who physically attend the Auction Sale, either personally or through an agent (“Floor Bidders”) should carefully examine all lots which they are interested in purchasing. Bidders who bid by telephone, either personally or through an agent, receive a similar benefit as Floor Bidders, in being able to actively participate in the live Auction Sale (“Telephone Bidders”). Therefore, except as otherwise provided in these Terms and Conditions of Auction Sale, NO LOT MAY BE RETURNED THAT IS PURCHASED BY A FLOOR BIDDER, A TELEPHONE BIDDER, AND OTHER BIDDERS WHO HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW THE LOT(S), OR ANYONE PRESENTING KNIGHT WITH A RESALE CERTIFICATE OR OTHER EVIDENCE THAT THEY ARE ACTING AS A DEALER. 12. Bidder Registration Required. All persons seeking to bid must have a catalogue and register to bid at the auction by completing a registration card or bid sheet. By submitting a bid, the Bidder acknowledges that Bidder has read the Terms and Conditions of Auction Sale, the descriptions for the lot(s) on which they have bid, and that they agree to adhere to these Terms and Conditions of Auction Sale. This agreement shall be deemed to have been made in Kansas. The bidder acknowledges that the invoice describing a lot by number incorporates the catalogue and Terms and Conditions of Auction Sale. 13. Prices, Payment and Delivery. The Buyer’s Premium of twenty-three percent (23%) will be added to the total amount of all invoices. The Buyer’s Premium will be discounted to twenty percent (20%) when handled through our regular in-house procedures, including payments using cash, bank wire, money order or a good check (with pre-approval). Please note that credit card checks and cashier’s checks are not acceptable forms of payment. No extra fees are added for using Knight Live, our live auction system. Payment is the same for Knight Live as it is for all other bidding methods. An international bank wire fee will be charged of $37.50. A reacquisition charge may apply to Consignors pursuant to a separate agreement, which may be higher or lower than the Buyer’s Commission. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, auction sales are strictly cash in U.S. funds payable through a bank in the United States. No credit card checks will be accepted as payment for auction lots. On any cash transaction or series of transactions exceeding $10,000, Treasury form 8300 will be filed. Contact Knight for wiring instructions before sending a wire. Lots must be paid for the earlier of receipt invoice or delivery. Knight reserves the right to decline to release lots for which good funds have not yet been received. On any accounts past due, Knight reserves the right to extend credit and impose periodic charges. Bidder agrees to pay reasonable attorney’s fees and cost incurred to collect on such past due accounts. Bids will not be accepted from those persons under eighteen (18) years of age without a parent’s written consent which acknowledges the Terms and Conditions of Auction Sale herein and agrees to be bound thereby on behalf of the Bidder. Bidders personally and unconditionally guarantee payment that are or become owed to Knight. If a corporation is the Bidder, the corporate representative present at the sale shall provide Knight at the time of registration with a statement signed by each principal, director and officer that they each personally and unconditionally guarantee any and all current or future obligations owed to Knight or such other statement as may be acceptable to Knight, in the sole discretion of Knight. Bidders who have not established credit with Knight must furnish satisfactory credit references or deposit at least twenty-five percent (25%) of their total bids for that Auction Sale session(s) or such other amounts as Knight may, in its sole and absolute discretion, require before such bids will be accepted. Deposits submitted will be applied to purchases. Bidders agree to pay an additional fee for packing, handling, postage and insurance on lots mailed to them, which fee shall be determined by the value of the item(s) shipped and added to the total invoice as follows: $19 for $1-499 shipments; $29 for $500-2,499 shipments; $39 for $2,500- 10,000 shipments; $60 for S10,000-25000 shipments; $75 for $25,001-50,000 shipments; $100 for $50,001-100,000 shipments. For shipments valued over $100,000 the fee will be determined at the time of the sale. Bidders outside the United States shall be invoiced for Knight’s shipping costs (an additional $15 handling fee will be added to International Bidders invoice), but agree to provide their own insurance on lots shipped to them (Knight shall not be responsible for non-delivery of lots shipped to addresses outside the United States). Any remaining deposits will be promptly refunded, upon clearance of funds. Shipping prices are listed above in item 2. Knight will not assume responsibility for the shipping and packaging of certain larger items or items of a more fragile nature sold in this sale as determined by Knight. It is the Bidder’s responsibility to contact Knight after the sale to make shipping and packaging arrangements. Due to the fragile nature of some lots, Knight may be forced to charge additional shipping and handling. Lots indicated as being “framed” are shipped at the Bidder’s risk. Taxes, postage, freight charges, if applicable handling, insurance and Buyer’s commission, and any other fees required by law to be charged or collected will be added to the invoice for any lot(s) that is invoiced to successful Bidders. On any tax not paid by Bidder which should have been paid, even if not collected Knight by mistake, error, negligence or gross negligence, Bidder agrees to promptly pay the same on demand together with any interest or penalty that may be assessed. Title to any lot remains with Consignor, any secured party of the Consignor, or Consignor’s assigns, as the case may be, until the lot is paid for in full by Bidder. Knight reserves the right to require payment in full before delivering any lot to the successful Bidder. The RISK OF LOSS passes to the Bidder upon delivery of the lot(s). 14. Financial Responsibility. In the event a successful Bidder fails to make payment when due, Knight reserve the right to resell the lot(s) in a commercially reasonable manner, which may include a private sale. Bidder agrees to pay for the reasonable cost of such a sale, together with any incidental costs of sale, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, cataloguing and any other reasonable charges. Bidder grants Knight or its assigns the right to offset any sums due, or found to be due to Knight, and to make such offset from any past, current or future consignment, 15. DISCLAIMER AND WARRANTIES. NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE IS MADE OR IMPLIED ON ANY LOT. NO WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOT EXCEPT FOR WARRANTY OF TITLE, AND IN THE CASE OF TITLE, AUCTIONEER IS SELLING ONLY THAT RIGHT OR TITLE TO THE LOTS THAT AUCTIONEER MAY HAVE BY VIRTUE OF THE CONSIGNMENT AGREEMENTS WITH CONSIGNORS AS OF THE AUCTION SALE DATE. PURCHASER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS CONCERNING AND RELATED TO THE GRADING OF A LOT.
