All statement or representations on such matters, whether printed in a catalog or made orally, are statements of opinion only and not representations of facts. Purchasers are deemed to have satisfied themselves on authenticity, condition et cetera before bidding and no one in the auctioneer' employ has its authority to make any representation of facts whatsoever.
2. The auctioneer has the absolute discretion to divide any lot; to withdraw any property before sale; to refuse or reject bids and to regulate the bidding. He may bid on the sellers' and/or consignor's behalf for all objects being offered subject to a reserve, or at the auctioneer's sole discretion.
3. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders or in the event of doubt on the part of the auctioneer as to the validity of any bid, the auctioneer will have the final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and re-sell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our record is conclusive.

5. Immediately upon adjudication of each lot, the purchaser ( the highest bidder) shall assume full risk and responsibility for the objects purchased, and while the auctioneer will exercise due caution in caring for such purchasers, he will not be responsible for any damage, destruction, theft or loss thereof, howsoever caused and whether or not caused by his negligence.

In default of the purchaser to fulfill any and all of his obligations here-under, in addition to other remedies available to the auctioneer and the consignor and vendor by law, including without limitation the right to hold the purchaser liable for the total purchase price, the auctioneer as its option may either:
