2. WARRANTEES: All property is sold "as is", and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor makes any warranties or representation of any kind or nature with respect to the property, and in no event shall they/we be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty, or description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability. Please see Terms & Conditions No. 9 below, for further information regarding Condition Reports. NOTE- if we misrepresent a lot in this catalog, e.g., if we say an item is Sterling Silver, and it is not, we will provide a refund of the purchase price only, but not shipping costs, as long as you contact us within 2 weeks of the sale and provide satisfactory evidence to support your contention. After this time, consignors may be paid and we can no longer be responsible for the error. Therefore it is important that you pay and pickup up items promptly to avoid having a dispute in this matter.

3. DISPUTED BIDS. In the event of disputed bids at the auction hall, the auctioneer shall be the judge in this matter to determine ownership. Normally, the auctioneer will re-open the bidding between the parties in dispute to determine the winner. The auctioneer shall also have the right to withdraw the article from the sale at his discretion.

If our storage areas are filled, we will charge storage fees at the rate of $25 per lot per month as items will have to be moved to a private storage area. We will not be held responsible for loss or damage of any item that is moved to storage. After 2 months, any items left behind will assume to be abandoned.

9 CONDITION REPORTS: Condition reports are provided as a courtesy only. While we will make every effort to ensure our condition reports are accurate, we cannot guarantee such and we should NOT be considered experts in any particular area of collecting. Also, condition reports are very subjective and when we say for example, that an item is in "Good Condition", that is our belief based on our examination but you may have a different opinion based on your background and experience on reviewing similar products. Further, box lots or group lots of more than 1 item, are only given a cursory review so if any particular item is important to you, please call for a more detailed report or request additional photos - items in box lots cannot be returned for any reason. Also, we advise all buyers to either inspect each item personally, or send a person to preview the item for you if you cannot attend the auction. In any case, neither Hyde Park Country Auctions LLC, or it's consignors can be held liable for any errors in description, photography, or condition reporting. EVERYTHING IS SOLD "AS IS" WITHOUT GUARANTEE. By registering to bid at any of our sales, you agree to all Terms & Conditions as described here and earlier under "Warrantees", number 2 above.
