Conditions of Sale
All property is sold AS IS, as pictured, with all faults. ALL SALES ARE FINAL and no refunds will be granted. Prospective buyers or their agents hold the sole responsibility to inspect the property before bidding to decide their level of interest and should exercise their own judgment for determining the property value, size, age, condition and whether or not it has been repaired or restored, etc. By placing a bid, you signify that you have examined the property to your satisfaction or have chosen not to examine it. We describe the property to the best of our ability, and any statements, whether oral or written, by the auctioneer or by any of the Vidi Vici Gallery representatives are mere opinions and shall not be deemed a warranty or representation regarding the property offered for sale. Although condition reports are included in lot description, they do not document every condition defect that may be present and the absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. Any condition statement is given as a courtesy to the client, is mere opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact. All weights and measurements are approximate and may be rounded to the nearest whole number. Representations of colors are merely descriptive and not considered material to any lot.

Vidi Vici Gallery reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. Property may be withdrawn from sale at any time prior to the offering of each lot.

The winning bid is defined as the highest bid in an auction without a reserve, and/or the highest bid in a reserve auction that meets or exceeds the reserve price.

In the event of a dispute, the decision of the auctioneer and the record of sale kept by Vidi Vici Gallery shall control.

Vidi Vici Gallery specializes in the sale of unique merchandise, much of which is fragile due to age and materials. The nature of such inventory makes it more susceptible to damage during shipment. Although damages and loss of packages are very rare, they do occur. In the event of loss or damage your sole recourse is to work with your shipper to track the package and collect insurance. Vidi Vici Gallery will not be liable for any lost or undelivered packages or damages that occur during shipment/transit.
In case of any problems or disputes concerning the shipping cost, delivery time, shipping damages, insurance claims or any other problems concerning the shipping process Vidi Vici Gallery shall not be contacted or any other way involved in such disputes, nor held responsible for third party actions, and all the questions and concerns shall be addressed directly to the shipper you hired.

All claims must be raised to us within 30 days of shipping date and no longer than 7 days after delivery date. Failure to raise issues in a timely manner may result in abandonment of any claims, because we or your shipper may no longer be able to address such matters if they fall outside of deadline requirements. For example, tracking information or ability to file an insurance claim has certain time limitations, depending on the freight company used.

International buyers shall be responsible for review and compliance with any applicable import regulations of your country and are responsible for the payment of any import duties or specialty taxes. Certain countries, including but not limited to, Russia, Ukraine, China, Australia and the UK, may have shipping restrictions or may often experience delays in customs or other delivery issues once they leave US custody. It is the buyer's responsibility to verify that shipping to your destination is permitted and reliable. Vidi Vici Gallery, and most likely your shipper or freight company may have no visibility into the status of your shipment once it is accepted into customs and may have no control over the package beyond this point. You assume liability for loss of packages caused by such issues. We highly recommend, whenever possible, to use a guaranteed service that allows tracking of package to your doorstep, such as DHL, when shipping items outside of the United States.
