TERMS & CONDITIONS IMPORTANCE OF TERMS Please take the time to read the following set of terms and conditions for the auction. By obtaining a Bidder Number, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to these terms and conditions. BIDDER RESPONSIBILITIES Bidders are responsible for any and all activity, bids, and purchases involving their account. Once a bid has been placed, it cannot be lowered or deleted. SEVEN SEAS AUCTIONS LLC and its consignors shall not be held liable for negligent bidding activity. Bidder agrees to keep its username and password confidential. Invoices are sent to the registered email address at the conclusion of the auction after sales records have been verified. All winning bids must be paid for on the day of the auction and no later than five business days following the auction date. SEVEN SEAS AUCTIONS LLC will contact bidders to pursue payment if needed; however, payment resolution is the responsibility of the invoiced buyer. Non-payment issues will be reported to third-party bidding platforms and will result in suspension of bidding privileges. Should timely payment not be received in the manner requested or a buyer is suspected of fraudulent registration, the bidder will be in breach of the purchase agreement and SEVEN SEAS AUCTIONS LLC reserves the right to rescind the sale and pursue all legal remedy. CONDITIONS SEVEN SEAS AUCTIONS LLC has endeavored to accurately describe the items being sold, but all property offered for sale is strictly "as - is" "where - is" with all faults. All sales are final and no refunds are given. The sales records and recordings shall be conclusive. It is the bidder's responsibility to determine the exact condition/authenticity of each item. No statement in this catalogue or by representatives of SEVEN SEAS AUCTIONS LLC shall be considered as a warranty or assumption of liability. Written and oral descriptions given by SEVEN SEAS AUCTIONS LLC staff members are given as a courtesy to a client, are only an opinion, and should not be considered as a guarantee of age, composition, or authenticity. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear or imperfections. High resolution images are provided to assist a bidder in making an additional assessment of condition. By bidding, you signify that you have either closely examined the items, have chosen not to examine them, or have hired an independent agent to examine the item(s) for you. Condition reports are available via the online catalog or by contacting the SEVEN SEAS AUCTIONS LLC office. The online catalogue including full descriptions, condition reports, dimensions, and multiple images for each lot is available at www. sevenseas-gallery.com. BUYER'S PREMIUM Absentee bidding and live real-time internet bidding is available at Info@sevenseas-gallery.com with an 28% buyer's premium. Live internet bidding is available on a third-party platform with a 28% buyer's premium. PAYMENT All winning bids must be paid for on the day of the auction and no later than five business days following the auction date. Payment can be made by cash, approved certified funds, wire transfer, approved check, PayPal, Visa or MasterCard with a domestic U.S. billing address. New participants with invoices containing jewelry, silver, or coins will require payment by cash, approved certified funds, wire transfer, or approved check. With the exception of these categories, if a buyer fails to contact SEVEN SEAS AUCTIONS LLC within five (5) business days following the sale, the credit card used to secure the bid will be charged the amount of the invoice. If paying by check, SEVEN SEAS AUCTIONS LLC reserves the right to hold the item(s) until the check has cleared. Federal law requires we report payments above $10,000 made by cash or certain other cash equivalents, such as money orders. Credit card payments are subject to a $3,000 limit, or may be paid through Internet Platform Payment system. International (non-domestic United States) bidders will be required to pay by wire transfer. Wire transfer fees will be incurred by the buyer. At the auctioneer's discretion, certain lots will be required to be paid for by wire transfer. AUCTIONEER The auctioneer always reserves the right to withdraw or bid on a lot for any reason he deems appropriate, including any lots that may or may not have a reserve, or if there is a lack of bidding interest. SEVEN SEAS AUCTIONS LLC shall have the right to withdraw any item at any time for any reason and to default any sale in the event of an error or dispute. Bid approval and acceptance on any bidding platform is at the discretion of the auctioneer. REGISTRATION Bidders may create an account at info@sevenseas-gallery.com. After signing in to the Info@sevenseas-gallery.com account, complete all necessary steps presented (e.g. agreeing to Terms of Sale) in order to proceed with bidding. All domestic US bids must be secured with a MasterCard or Visa. International bidders must acknowledge wire transfer payment terms. BIDDING When Absentee bidding, you may accept the current asking bid or enter a maximum bid value. Live real-time internet bidding does not allow a maximum bid to be entered, only the current asking bid may be accepted. Once a lot has opened for live real-time internet bidding, absentee bids can no longer be placed. SEVEN SEAS AUCTIONS LLC cannot be held liable for bids that are not sent or received by the server. The Online-Only Auction has a soft close; each lot will have a 20 second timer after it opens for live real-time internet bidding. Any lot that receives a bid within the last 15 seconds will have its bidding time extended to 15 seconds. Any and all lots will close either at the designated closing time or at such point that it has not received an advanced bid within a 15 second time frame. Outbid notifications will not be received within five lots of any lot opening for live real-time internet bidding. All bids will be executed in a fair, competitive and confidential manner. While every effort is made to execute and honor bids, SEVEN SEAS AUCTIONS LLC is not responsible for failure to execute a bid and is not liable for any losses incurred as a result of failure to execute a bid. If you are bidding live, real-time online at sevenseas-gallery.com, please bid quickly as there may be a time delay in receiving the live bid. Whether bidding via absentee or real-time, a confirmation will be required to finalize your bid. All bids are time stamped. In case of identical bids, the first bid received will take precedence. Where appropriate, bids will be rounded down to the nearest amount consistent with the auctioneer?s bidding increments. SEVEN SEAS AUCTIONS LLC BID LIMITS New participants with less than one year of purchase history with SEVEN SEAS AUCTIONS LLC will be limited to a maximum of $5,000 in cumulative bids. Bidders may contact the front office for assistance with increasing their bid limit prior to the auction. A wire transfer deposit will be required. Domestic, U.S. bidders must request a bid limit increase 24 hours in advance of the auction. International bidders must request a bid limit increase 72 hours in advance of the auction. Wire transfer deposits must be received the business day prior to the auction. SEVEN SEAS AUCTIONS LLC cannot be held liable for wire transfer deposits that are not received prior to the auction in order to satisfy the bid limit increase. LIVE INTERNET BIDS THROUGH THIRD-PARTY WEBSITE(S) Live internet bidding is available during the auction via third-party website(s). Please be advised that proper time is required to review and respond to registration inquiries received through third-party websites. Additional information may be required to proceed with registration approval, including a wire transfer deposit or auction references. Participants with limited purchase history will be subject to a bidding limit. Current bids on the internet will be executed on your behalf during the auction. Bids left on third-party websites are not presented to us or executed until a lot is offered real-time and the order in which they are received is not a factor. Each lot will open with the current high-bid received on the Info@sevenseas-gallery.com website and bidding will progress from that point. SEVEN SEAS AUCTIONS LLC cannot be held liable for live internet bids on a third-party website that are not sent, received, or executed by the administrator. If you are bidding live, real-time online through a third-party website, please bid quickly because there is a time delay in receiving live bids.
