Unless exempted by law from the payment thereof, the buyer will be required to pay Michigan state retail sales taxes at a rate of 6%, or any taxes that are applicable at this date, including any federal luxury or other tax. Unless exemption from such taxes is established to the satisfaction of DuMouchelles, any buyer claiming an exemption will be required to pay the tax to DuMouchelles and seek a refund from the state. Deliveries outside the State of Michigan may be subject to the compensating use tax of another state and, where a duty of collection is imposed upon them by law, DuMouchelles will require payment of such taxes.
Condition
A Condition Report of a given lot, if available, may be found on Artfact.
Condition reports are provided as a courtesy and are based solely on
opinion and observation and are not a guarantee of an item's quality, as
well as reflect expectations subject to the given age of the given lot.
Condition reports carry no guarantee, implied or otherwise, of their
correctness. Existence of a condition report for a given lot does not
presume that all aspects of a particular lot have been analyzed. While
every reasonable effort is made to respond to all requests for
condition, due to the volume of requests, DuMouchelles cannot guarantee
that all requests will receive a response.
