Except as stated in the Limited Warranty in paragraph 5 below, all property
is sold "as is" without any representation or warranty of any kind by Kamelot
or the seller. Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning
the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalogue
entry.
(a) Examination of property
Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any property
in which they are interested, before the auction takes place. If a bidder is
unable to view an item in person, they are responsible for obtaining/requesting
a condition report and/or additional photographs prior to bidding to determine
an article's condition, size and any other pertinent information. We strive
to be fair and forthright with our descriptions and condition reports, however
bidders must acknowledge that antique items often show normal signs of use and
wear, which might not be specified in a condition report. If you have very
particular taste, it is advisable that you inspect items in person, as your
definition of condition may be more exacting than a specialist could have
time to verify.
(b) Condition reports
Our specialists will respond to condition report requests as quickly as possible,
however please be patient. We get many requests and we make every effort to
respond to all of them in a timely fashion. Kamelot reserves the right to
reject a condition report/additional photograph requests in which, in our
opinion, the value of the object is not commensurate with the time necessary
to complete the request.
(c) Catalogue and other descriptions
All statements by us in the catalogue entry for the property or in the
condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements
of opinion and are not to be relied on as statement of fact. Such statements
do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by us
of any kind. References in the catalogue entry or the condition report to
damage or restoration are for guidance only. 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. Estimates
of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the
price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose. Except
as set forth in paragraph 5 below, neither Kamelot nor the seller is
responsible in any way for errors and omissions in the catalogue or any
supplemental material.
(d) Reserves
Unless otherwise indicated, lots offered may be subject to a reserve,
which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be
sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue.
All unreserved bidding starts at 50% of the low estimate unless there are
two or more competing absentee bids at a price higher than that. (For example,
a lot estimated at $1,000 - $1,500, with no reserve, will normally
open at $500. If there are two absentee bids for $600 and $800, the lot
must sell for $650, even if there is no further bidding from the phone,
internet or from the live audience.
(a) Absentee bids
Kamelot requires all absentee bids be submitted no later than 7:00pm on the
business day prior to the auction. If you fax your absentee bids, please
call to confirm receipt. All absentee bidding is handled as though you are
in attendance. Kamelot will purchase all designated lots for you one bidding
increment above where competition stops. Absentee bidding is a convenience
offered to our customers and, while we will make every effort to execute
your instructions, Kamelot Auctions is not liable or responsible for any
errors or failure to do so.
Bidding Increments:
| From | To | Increment |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 499 | $25.00 |
| 500 | 999 | $50.00 |
| 1000 | 1999 | $100.00 |
| 2000 | 4999 | $200.00 |
| 5000 | 9999 | $250.00 |
| 10000 | 19999 | $1000.00 |
| 20000 | and up | $2000.00 |
(a) Sales results
Results are available by phone and on the web at www.kamelotauctions.com.
Sales results are available no earlier than 2 p.m. on the first business day
following the auction or as soon as the Auction House has audited and
verified all sales. Please do not call prior to this time for results,
as they will not be given out under any circumstances. We thank you for
your understanding in this matter.
(b) Buyer's premium
A buyer's premium of 20% (or 22.5% if bidding through eBay Live Auctions or
Live Auctioneers) will be added to the successful bid price of each lot that
you purchase and is payable by you, along with applicable tax which, is
applied to the total cost of your purchase. Buyers will be required to pay
the State of Pennsylvania Sales Tax of 6% as well as the City of Philadelphia
Sales Tax of 1% for a total of 7% at the time of payment unless the items
are shipped out of the state of Pennsylvania or the buyer provides Kamelot
with a valid Tax Exemption Number and fills out an Exemption Certificate
(available upon request). This is Pennsylvania State Law and applies to
anyone picking up items, regardless if you live or bid on the items outside
the state of Pennsylvania.
(c) Payment and passing of title
All successful bidders will be sent invoices by mail or e-mail the first
business day after the auction. All payments are due immediately upon receipt
of invoice and should be received by Kamelot Auctions no later than 5
business days after the auction. Acceptable payment methods include cash,
certified checks, money orders, or personal check. The buyer will not
acquire title to the lot until all amounts due to us from the buyer have
been received even in circumstances where we have released the lot to the
buyer.
(d) Remedies for non-payment
If the buyer fails to make payment in full in good cleared funds within the
time required by paragraph (c) above, we shall be entitled in our absolute
discretion to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies (in
addition to asserting any other rights or remedies available to us by law):
(i) to charge interest at such rate as we shall reasonably decide;
(ii) to hold the defaulting buyer liable for the total amount due and to
commence legal proceeding for its recovery together with interest, legal
fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law;
(iii) to cancel the sale
(e) Pickups
The week following the sale, Kamelot will provide labor to help assist
buyers/shippers with their purchases however, buyers and/or their shippers,
must pack/wrap and load their items. If items are picked up after the first
week, please be aware that labor may not be available to assist buyers/shippers
with their purchases. Normal pickup hours are Monday - Friday 10:00am - 4:00pm.
All purchases must be removed within 15 days after an auction.
Property that is not removed within 15 days of the sale will be
moved to a storage facility at the buyer's risk and expense. The buyer will
thereafter be assessed a storage charge of $10 per day. All associated
charges must be paid in full before the property will be released. Property
that has been paid for but remains unclaimed for more than 120 days will
become the property of Kamelot Auctions.
(f) Shipping
Kamelot does not provide in-house shipping, but will assist bidders in
arranging for the shipment of their items by providing a list of reputable
shippers. All pickups or shipping arrangements should be made at the time
of payment, but no later than 15 days from the sale.
(g) Export license
Unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, the fact that the buyer wishes to
apply for an export license does not affect his or her obligation to make
payment immediately upon receipt of an invoice, nor our right to charge
interest or storage charges on late payment. If the buyer requests us to
apply for an export license on his or her behalf, we shall be entitled to
make a charge for this service. We shall not be obliged to rescind a sale
nor to refund any interest or other expenses incurred by the buyer in
circumstances where an export license is required.
We agree to refund the purchase price in the circumstances of the Limited
Warranty set out in paragraph 5 below. Apart from that, neither the seller
nor we, nor any or our officers, employees or agents, are responsible for
the correctness of any statement of whatever kind concerning any lot,
whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or omissions in
description or for any faults or defects in any lot. Except as stated
in paragraph 5 below, neither the seller, ourselves, our officers, employees
or agents, give any representation, warranty or guarantee or assume any
liability of any kind in respect of any lot with regard to merchantability,
fitness for a particular purpose, description, size, quality, condition,
attribution, authenticity, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, exhibition
history, literature or historical relevance. Except as required by
local law any warranty of any kind whatsoever is excluded by this paragraph.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this paragraph Kamelot warrants for
a period of 30 days from the date of the sale that any artwork described in
this catalogue (as such description may be amended by any saleroom notice or
announcement) which is stated without qualification to be the work of a named
author or authorship, is authentic and not a forgery. The term "author"or
"authorship" refers to the creator of the property or to the period, culture,
source or origin, as the case may be, with which the creation of such property
is identified in the description of the property in this catalogue. Kamelot's
warranty does not apply to supplemental material, which appears below the
heading of each lot, and Kamelot is not responsible for any errors or
omissions in such material. The terms used in the headings are further
explained in Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice. The warranty
does not apply to any heading that is stated to represent a qualified opinion.
The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by
or for Kamelot relating to a lot including the contents of this catalogue,
is and shall remain at all times the property of Kamelot and shall not be
used by the buyer, nor by anyone else, without our prior written consent.
Kamelot and the seller make no representation or warranty that the buyer of
a property will acquire any copyright or other reproduction rights in it.
If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any court to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted and the rest of the
conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
The rights and obligation of the parties with respect to these Conditions of
Sale, the conduct of the auction and any matters connected with any of the
foregoing shall be governed and interpreted by the laws of the jurisdiction
in which the auction is held. By bidding at auction, whether present in
person or by agent, by written bid, telephone or other means, the buyer
shall be deemed to have submitted, for the benefit of Kamelot, to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that country, state, county or
province, and (if applicable) of the federal courts sitting in such state.
Artwork is subject to the guarantees and conditions contained in this catalog.
Condition reports are provided as a service to interested clients. Prospective
