We do not guarantee authorship, signatures, or markings. No statement (oral or written) in this catalog, at the sale, or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty or representation, or any assumption of responsibility. All measurements are approximate. 4.1. All items are available for your examination prior to bidding. Written and oral descriptions are our opinions and should in no way be construed as a guarantee of any kind as to authenticity, age, condition, materials, or any other feature of items being sold. 4.2. ALDEN'S will assert the best effort to catalog every lot correctly and will attempt to point out any defects, but will not be responsible or liable for the correctness of the catalog or other descriptions of the lot. 4.3. We recommend that prospective bidders examine all items in which they have an interest. By placing a bid, either in person, by phone, absentee, or via the Internet, the bidders signify that they have examined the items as fully as possible, or that they have chosen not to examine the items. 4.4.

If your item(s) are being shipped and there is a condition problem upon receipt, you are expected to notify us immediately. 4.5. NO REFUNDS! ALL SALES ARE FINAL! 5. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer has the right to reject any bid, to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion, and in the event of any disputes between bidders, the auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the ALDEN'S' sale record shall be conclusive in all respects. 6. If the auctioneer determines that any opening or later bid or any advance bid is not commensurate with the value of the Property offered, he may reject the same and withdraw the Property from sale. 7. Upon the fall of the hammer, title to any offered lot or article will immediately pass to the highest bidder as determined at the exclusive discretion of the auctioneer. Such bidder thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility for the property sold and agrees to pay the full purchase price therefore or such part upon such terms as ALDEN'S may require. 7.1. All property shall be paid for by the purchaser at his/her expense within 7 days of the sale and, if not, maybe sold by ALDEN'S, at the sole risk and charge of the purchaser(s), and ALDEN'S may prohibit the purchaser from participating, directly or indirectly, as a bidder or purchaser in any future sale or sales. ALDEN'S will not be responsible for any loss, damage, theft, or otherwise responsible for any goods left in ALDEN'S' possession after 7 days. 7.2. If the foregoing conditions or any applicable provisions of the law are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to ALDEN'S and the Consignor (including without limitation the right to hold the purchaser(s) liable for the bid price) ALDEN'S, at its option, may either cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the purchaser(s) or resell the property. In such event, the purchaser(s) shall remain liable for any deficiency in the original purchase price and will also be responsible for all costs, including warehousing, the expense of the ultimate sale, and ALDEN'S' commission at its regular rates together with all related and incidental charges, including legal fees. 7.3. Payment is a precondition to removal. Payment in U.S. dollars may be made with cash, bank check, or cashier's check drawn from a U.S. bank or any other method approved by ALDEN'S. Checks will not be deemed to constitute payment until cleared. ALDEN'S will charge interest of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month on any balance remaining thirty (30) days after the day of sale. Any exceptions must be made upon ALDEN'S' written approval of credit prior to sale. 8. Unless the sale is advertised and announced as "without reserve", each lot is offered subject to a reserve and ALDEN'S may implement such reserves by bidding through its representatives on behalf of the Consignors. In certain instances, the Consignor may pay less than the standard commission rate where ALDEN'S or its representative is a successful bidder on behalf of the Consignor. Where the Consignor is indebted to ALDEN'S, ALDEN'S may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds there from other than the broker's Commissions, and all sales are subject to any such interest. 9. All bidders are required to complete the registration form (and re-seller's permit, if applicable), provide all details requested, and present a valid identification card to obtain a paddle. If a representative is bidding on a company's or someone's behalf, an authorization letter with the contact information of the actual bidder will also be required. A prospective buyer may opt to bid live on the floor, leave an absentee or telephone bid, or bid through the Internet. 10. Telephone bids must be submitted 24 hours prior to the auction and may be limited to the capacity of our staff pool. As telephone and online bids are options of convenience to the buyers, ALDEN'S maintains that it will not be held responsible for live Internet bids that are not sent, received, or executed by the administrator. 11. Absentee Bids is a free and confidential service. Any absentee bids must be left in writing with the ALDEN'S 24 hours before the start of the auction. In the event identical bids are submitted, the earliest will take precedence. Absentee bids shall be executed in competition with other absentee bids, any applicable reserve, bids from the audience, and bids live online. No "buy" bids or ? unlimited? bids shall be accepted at any time for any purpose. Please note the execution of written bids is offered as an additional service for no extra charge at the bidder's risk and is undertaken subject to ALDEN'S other commitments at the time of the auction. 12. As a convenience to our clients, we furnish pre-sale estimates for all materials included in the auctions. These estimates are only our approximate valuations and should be taken as educated guess based upon comparable auction values, not as ?prices.? Bidding normally begins at a low price, but the final bid price may well be less than or more than any estimate printed. 13. 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 may be different per auction. Please refer to each auction for related information. 14. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS: YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE TO MEET ALL CUSTOMS AND IMPORT-EXPORT REGULATIONS. WE WILL ASSIST BUT CAN NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR INTERNATIONAL LAWS AFFECTING THE DELIVERY OF YOUR ITEMS. 15. Packing, shipping, and insurance (including reimbursement for damage or loss) of purchased lots is the sole responsibility of the purchaser. ALDEN'S will assist and offer recommendations of suitable third-party carriers. We are not responsible for any delays on the part of this third party, should there be any. We recommend shipping all items insured. Insurance costs through third-party carriers will be borne by the purchaser and in case of damage; insurance claims should be taken up with the third-party carrier. Should any damage or loss occur to items transported by a third party, we can assist the purchaser in filing proper claims for reimbursement but will not be held responsible for the outcome. 16. If any applicable conditions herein are not complied with by the purchaser, in addition to other remedies available to it by law, including without limitation the right to hold the purchaser liable for the total purchase price, ALDEN'S at its option may either (a) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the purchaser or (b) resell the property at public auction without reserve or minimum selling price, and the purchaser will be liable for any deficiency and costs, including handling charges, expenses of both sales, the commission on both sales at regular rates, all other charges due hereunder and incidental damages. 17. These terms and conditions of sale, as well as the respective rights and obligations of ALDEN'S and any purchasers or bidder at any sale of ALDEN'S, shall be governed by and construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
