4. LIVE AUCTION:
Ahlers & Ogletree, Inc. conducts live auctions where you can participate in and watch the bidding in real
time - in person and online - while an auctioneer conducts the auction, accepts, and announces bids,
and determines a winning bid. In a live auction, we are represented by one or more people who will lead
and conduct the auction. We exclusively determine the conduct of any auction, including, without
limitation, whether, when and/or if to advance the bidding, to reject any bid offered, to withdraw any
lot, to reoffer and resell any lot, and to resolve any dispute in connection with a sale. We may withdraw
a lot from auction for any reason and with no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal. Our
determination in management of an auction or sale is final and shall be binding upon you and all other
participants in such sale. Our collection and file of records related to each auction, lot, and sale will
constitute the factual, accurate record of all transactions you participate in under this Agreement. You
agree that if there is a discrepancy between our records and any other records or messages related to a
sale or transaction, our records will govern.
5. THIRD-PARTY INTERNET BIDDING SERVICES AND PLATFORMS
Our auctions are accessible through third-party online bidding platforms, such as LiveAuctioneers,
Invaluable, and Bidsquare, among others. These platforms facilitate bidding and may charge
commissions or fees for their services. Each platform operates independently and has its own terms,
conditions, and privacy policies.
Ahlers & Ogletree, Inc. has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, policies, or
practices of any third-party bidding platforms. Your interactions with these platforms are solely between
you and the respective platform. We strongly encourage you to familiarize yourself with their terms,
conditions, and privacy policies before using their services.
By participating through a third-party bidding platform, you expressly release Ahlers & Ogletree, Inc.
from any and all liability arising from your use of these platforms or any third-party services. Bids
submitted through third-party platforms are transmitted to Ahlers & Ogletree, Inc. only when a lot is
offered for sale.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Under no circumstances, including negligence, shall Ahlers & Ogletree, Inc. or its sellers be liable for any
damages, lost profits, or special, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from your use of, or
inability to use, these third-party platforms.
Please note:
- These platforms do not communicate bids with one another or with the Auctioneer prior to the live
auction.
- Being the highest bidder on one platform does not guarantee you are the leading bidder overall, as
higher bids may exist on other platforms.
Ahlers & Ogletree, Inc. reserves the right to add or discontinue any bidding platform at its discretion.
6. RESERVES
Ahlers & Ogletree, Inc. may offer each lot subject to a confidential minimum price below which we may
not sell the lot. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the Reserve. We prohibit sellers
from bidding on their own lots, but we may seek to satisfy the reserve by bidding on behalf of a seller at
the auction up to the Reserve.
7. OPENING BID
All lots are published with an opening bid of 50% of their low estimate unless otherwise agreed upon
with Seller. On auction day, we will determine the opening bid based on the Reserve and lot estimates.
We reserve the right to adjust the opening bid at any time, depending on bidding activity and interest. It
is your responsibility to stay informed about the opening bid and bidding activity, particularly if you are
participating online.
8. RECEIPT OF BIDS
Our live auctions are run on multiple online auction platforms, including but not limited to
LiveAuctioneers, Invaluable, Bidsquare, and at AandOauctions.com. These platforms are independent
and do not communicate bids with each other. As a result, the same bid may be placed on multiple
platforms.
Because we do not receive a live feed of digital timestamps from these third-party platforms, bids are
accepted at the Auctioneer's sole discretion. The Auctioneer will have the final authority in determining
the winning bid, and this decision is final and without recourse.
9. ESTIMATES
Estimates are provided as a guide to the expected hammer price of a Lot. Estimates do not include the
Buyer's Premium, any applicable taxes, or any export, import or shipping charges you may incur. We set
estimates based on recent prices paid for similar property and on the lot's rarity, quality, condition, and
current market appeal. Estimates can change. Estimates are preliminary only and are subject to revision
by us from time to time in our sole discretion. We make no guarantees, representations, or warranties
of any kind, express or implied, including, without limitation, regarding the sale price of any lot, whether
the lot will sell at all, or the price realized upon resale.
10. LOT DESCRIPTIONS:
Lot descriptions may not be exhaustive or represent all of the information of every kind about a lot. We
may not disclose the identity of previous owners of the lot if that information is not available to us or if
we are not authorized to do so. Any description of a lot's dimensions and/or weight is approximate.
Photographs of a lot identify the lot and, sometimes, give you an approximation of their size in relation
to other common objects. Images of a lot may not show the condition of a lot clearly; colors and shades
may look different on the screen as opposed to how they look on physical inspection.
11. LOT CONDITION:
Condition reports provided by Ahlers & Ogletree, Inc. reflect professional opinions and should not be
treated as factual guarantees. Buyers waive any claims regarding errors or omissions in such reports and
are solely responsible for inspecting lots prior to bidding. The absence of any reference to the condition
of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or free of imperfections.
We do not warrant, and we specifically disclaim, the condition of any frame that accompanies any lot.
12. BIDDING INCREMENTS:
$0 - $250 : $25
$250 - $1,000 : $50

$500,000+ : $50,000*
* additional increments will be at the discretion of the auctioneer.
We may reject nonconforming bids. However, since we regulate the bidding, we may change the Bidding
Increments in our discretion. And, if we receive an Absentee Bid that does not conform to the Bidding
Increments, we may reduce your Absentee Bid enough to meet a lower Bidding Increment.
13. BIDDING
We offer several methods and media through which you may place bids at a live auction, both before
the live auction and during the live auction.
You will be held responsible for the purchase of any lot for which you have placed a Winning Bid. So, if
you submit one or more conflicting or competing bids on a lot through different platforms or methods,
you are solely responsible to cancel any or all of your previously submitted bids.
ABSENTEE BIDS

auction. Absentee Bids can be placed in a variety of ways, including the following:

and its status before the live auction. We are not liable for errors in bidding including situations in which
our bid confirmation contained errors that you did not correct. We will place your Absentee Bids at our
discretion and at your risk. We assume no responsibility for a failure to execute any bid, or for errors or
omissions made in connection with the execution of any bid. We will make reasonable efforts to place
bids at the lowest bid price, subject to the Reserve, but we are not liable if we fail to do so.

method.
15. SALES TAX:
All purchases are subject to the sales tax rate as stipulated by their city and/or state unless a valid taxexempt certificate is supplied to Auctioneer. The actual sales tax rate and conditions depend on the
state, county, or locale to which the lot will be shipped or where the buyer or buyer's agent takes
possession. That means that if you buy property from us, it may be subject to the sales tax in the area
where you or your agents receive it or take possession of it. The Buyer is ultimately responsible for tax
compliance in their jurisdiction.
16. PAYMENT

the Buyer to remit payment and remove their merchandise per the terms of this agreement.

In ALL cases, it is the sole responsibility of the Buyer to remit payment and remove their merchandise
within thirty (30) days after the sale date and per the terms of this agreement.
All costs related to packing, insurance, shipping, and delivery of purchased property are the sole
responsibility of the Buyer.
Buyers may:
- Collect purchased items in person.
- Arrange their own shipping through a third-party service provider.
- Request shipping services be handled by Ahlers & Ogletree, Inc. Buyer acknowledges that
Auctioneer has full discretion on which lots they will ship, and if their shipping services are not
available then another option must be employed.
- Request a referral for third-party shippers from Ahlers & Ogletree, Inc.
The Auctioneer shall not be liable for damage or loss once purchased property is released to the Buyer
or their designated shipper.
Third-Party Shipping Services:
Ahlers & Ogletree, Inc. may assist Buyers by referring third-party shippers or arranging logistical services
as a courtesy. Any such assistance is at the Buyer's sole risk and expense. The Auctioneer disclaims all
responsibility for the acts or omissions of third-party shippers, including delays, damages, or losses.
Buyers assume full responsibility for verifying the adequacy of third-party shippers' insurance coverage
and service terms. If you choose a shipping method that we have advised against, we may require a
waiver from you acknowledging this. For the avoidance of doubt, we will not be responsible for any
damage or loss that occurs to a lot once we release it to a third-party shipper.
Title Transfer:
Title to purchased property shall transfer to the Buyer upon full payment of the Purchase Price,
including all applicable taxes and fees. The Auctioneer will retain possession of the property until the
Buyer's payment has been fully processed and confirmed by our bank. The Buyer must confirm payment
clearance before arranging collection or shipment.
Inspection and Packing Requirements:
Buyers are advised to inspect the condition of the property prior to shipping. Buyers are responsible for
supplying their own packing materials when collecting items in person. The Auctioneer shall not be held
liable for insufficient packing or any damages incurred during transit.
Abandoned Property and Storage Fees:
Purchased property not collected or shipped within thirty (30) days after the sale date will incur storage
fees of $10.00 per lot, per day. Ahlers & Ogletree, Inc. has no duty to store any lot indefinitely. Any
Purchased Property that is still in our possession ninety (90) days after Sale Date will be deemed
abandoned by you and title to it, to the extent it has passed to you, will pass to us, with no further
notice given by Auctioneer. You hereby release Ahlers & Ogletree, Inc. of and from any claims related to
such Abandoned Property (including without limitation claims for purchase price refunds, possession of
such lot or other damages or losses). You agree that this remedy is reasonable in light of the costs Ahlers
& Ogletree, Inc. would have to incur to continue to store and process purchased lots after sale.
Shipping Restrictions and Compliance:
- Buyers are solely responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable local, state,
federal, and international laws regarding the transportation of purchased property, including
export and import restrictions. The inability to ship or transport purchased property due to
regulatory constraints shall not relieve the Buyer of payment obligations.
- Auctioneer strongly suggests obtaining a shipping estimate before bidding.
- Ahlers & Ogletree offers in-house shipping services only on select Lots. If you are interested in
obtaining a quote for our shipping services, please reach us at shipping@AandOauctions.com.
- Ahlers & Ogletree, Inc. will not release item(s) for shipment until payment has been cleared
through their respective financial institutions and it is the Buyer's responsibility to confirm
clearance before sending a shipper to collect their Property. Note there is a $30.00 fee for all
returned checks.
18. SPECIAL PROPERTY:
Endangered Species:
You are solely responsible for all matters related to the export or import of any lot you buy, including
without limitation, complying with any requirements, restrictions, declarations, customs, duties, or any
other issues. It is your sole responsibility to familiarize yourself with International, U.S. Federal and State
laws or requirements regarding the necessary export, import, or other permit required. We make no
representations or warranties as to whether any lot is or is not subject to export or import restrictions or
any embargoes and will have no responsibility with regard to these matters. Failure to obtain a license
or permit will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment of the Purchase
Price for the lot. We will not rescind the sale of a lot that is transferred to you and later seized by
government authorities due to the presence of endangered species material. As a courtesy to clients, we
may advise people who inquire about lots containing potentially regulated plant or animal material, but
we do not accept liability for errors or for failing to advise on lots containing protected or regulated
species. Even if you are unable to bring your Purchased Property to your desired location, you must still
comply with all of your obligations around purchasing the lot, including without limitation payment of
the Purchase Price and removal of the lot from our facility.
Jewelry:
Natural gemstones have been enhanced in a variety of ways, including heating, oiling, and other
methods. These treatments are accepted by the international jewelry and gemstone trade. We make no
representations or warranties, express or implied, as to whether natural stones have been treated or
enhanced, whether specifically referenced or not. All stones have been identified by standard
gemological field tests, as the mounting allows, and we will make available to prospective buyers any
gemological certificates in our possession. However, it will not always be feasible to obtain a qualified
lab report on every stone we offer for sale. If you wish to have a grading or gemological report from an
independent recognized laboratory such as the Gemological Institute of America, you may request one
at your own expense or hire an independent adviser of your choosing at your expense. Weights given
for stones we offer for sale are based solely on measurements and known gemological formulae; they
are approximate, not exact. Weight may differ once a stone is removed from its setting. You are advised
to verify weight estimates prior to bidding at auction.
Coins & Currency:
All coins and currency are sold as is by us, except as to authenticity. You acknowledge and agree that
grading is not an exact science, but a matter of opinion as to condition and other attributes; and that
grading can and will differ among third party grading services (even though consensus grading is
employed by most), independent experts, dealers, collectors, and auction houses, including our own.
Coins and currency are sold without any additional express or implied warranty. We reserve the right to
differ with the grades assigned to any lot, by certificate or otherwise, regardless of the grading service,
and will not be bound by any prior or subsequent opinion, determination or certification by third-party
grading services including, but not limited to, National Guaranty Company (NGC), Professional Coin
Grading Service (PCGS), or any other any grading service, third party organization or dealer. There is no
guarantee or warranty implied or expressed that the grading standards we use will meet the standards
of any grading service at any time in the future.
Clocks & Lights:
No warranty is made that any watch, clock, or lighting device is in working condition or without defects,
restorations, or working parts. Buyer agrees that the description of watches, clocks and lighting devices,
whether in the catalogue or a Condition Report, may be incomplete and not identify every mechanical
replacement, repair, or defect. The absence of reference to the condition of a watch, clock or lighting
device does not imply it to be in working condition or without defects, repairs, restorations, or
replacement parts.
19. INTERNET:
While we strive to provide a seamless online experience, technical difficulties may arise beyond our
control, including, but not limited to, issues related to broadband capacity, firewalls, errors in the
display or quality of digital images, software malfunctions, and other technological problems. You
acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible or liable for any failure to send, receive, or place
bids due to technological issues, including Internet connection failures, software errors, phone
connection problems, or malfunctions in our information technology systems.
In addition to the terms outlined above, neither we, nor our affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or
agents, shall be liable for any errors, inaccuracies, omissions, defects, delays, or interruptions in the
transmission of information on our website, regardless of cause or duration. We are not responsible for
any claims, losses, or damages arising from such issues or any consequences resulting from the
untimeliness or inauthenticity of information on the site.
20. LIMIT OF LIABILITY:
IN NO EVENT SHALL AHLERS & OGLETREE, INC. BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY
CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL OR SIMILAR DAMAGES,
WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR UNFORESEEABLE, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION ON WHICH THEY
ARE BASED, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OCCURRING. WITH RESPECT TO
ANY SALE OF A LOT, IN NO EVENT SHALL AHLERS & OGLETREE, INC. BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD
PARTY FOR LOSSES IN EXCESS OF THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY YOU TO AHLERS & OGLETREE, INC FOR
SUCH LOT TO WHICH THE CLAIM RELATES. We are not liable for any breach or default by the consignor
or seller of a lot or in relation to any terms which are implied into contracts by law and which are the
responsibility of the seller of an item.
21. INDEMNITY:
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Ahlers & Ogletree, Inc., its officers, directors, employees,
agents and their successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, damages,
losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) relating to the breach, or
alleged breach, of any of your agreements, covenants, representations or warranties contained in this
Agreement.
22. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY:
Ahlers & Ogletree, Inc. and our licensors will retain ownership of our intellectual property rights,
including, without limitation, copyright to all photographs or other images of the lot created by us

arise that require resolution through arbitration. Disputes must first be addressed through a 45-day
good faith discussion period. If unresolved, disputes will proceed to binding arbitration in Atlanta,
Georgia, under the American Arbitration Association's rules. Arbitration decisions are final and nonappealable.
