Welcome to Klinger & Co!

1. Klinger & Co., herein known as "The Company", has exercised reasonable care to catalogue and describe correctly the property to be sold, but does not warrant the correctness of description, genuineness, authenticity or condition of said property. All items are sold "as is" and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor makes any warranties or representations of any kind or nature with respect to the items, and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the item and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or an assumption of liability.

2. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are to be for a single article even though more that one article is included under a numbered item in the catalogue. If, however, the articles under any one numbered items are designated as a "Lot" then bids are to be for the lot irrespective of the number of articles described in such item.

3. The highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. In the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer may, at his discretion, determine who is the successful bidder, and his decision shall be final; or the auctioneer may re-offer and resell the article in dispute.

4. Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance over the previous bid may be rejected by the auctioneer, in his discretion if in his judgment, such bids would be likely to affect the sale injuriously.

5. The name and address of the buyer of each article or lot shall be given to the Company immediately following the sale thereof and payment of the whole purchase price, or such part thereof as the company may require, shall be immediately made by the purchaser thereof. If the foregoing condition or any other applicable condition herein is not complied with, the sale, at the option of the Company may be cancelled and the article, or lot, re-offered for sale.

6. Except as herein otherwise provided, title will pass to the highest bidder upon the fall of the auctioneer's hammer and thereafter the property is at the purchaser's sole risk and responsibility.

7. All articles sold to on site bidders must be paid for on the night of the auction. All articles sold must be removed at buyer's expense no later than 4:30 p.m. of the fifth business day following the auction. Articles sold and not paid for in full and not taken by 5 p.m. the day of the sale may be turned over by the Company to a carrier to be delivered to a storehouse for the account and risk of the purchaser and at his cost. If the purchase price has not been paid in full, the Company may either cancel the sale, and any partial payment already made shall thereon be forfeited as liquidated damages, or it may resell the same, without notice to the buyer and for his account and risk, and hold him responsible for any deficiency.

Absentee and phone bids require payment on pickup or in advance of shipment of goods and upon clearance of check through the bank or within 10 business days. It is the responsibility of the Absentee to contact Klinger & Co. regarding the disposition of left bids, to arrange payment and schedule removal of merchandise.

Shipment can be arranged by Klinger & Co. However, Klinger & Co. does not pack or ship. Packing and shipping is handled through Mail Boxes & More. All Shipping charges will be added to the total value of the sale.

8. The Company, subject to these Conditions of Sale and to such terms and conditions as it may prescribe, but without charge for its services, will undertake to make bids for responsible parties approved by it. Requests for such bidding must be given with such clearness as to leave no room for misunderstanding as to the amount to be bid and must state the catalogue number of the item and the name or title of the article to be bid on. If bids are to be made on several articles listed as one item in the catalogue, the requests should state the amount to be bid on each article, unless the article contains the notation "Lot", in which case the request should state the amount to be bid "for the Lot".

9. Conditions of Sale cannot be altered except in writing by the auctioneer at the time of the sale.

10. Not responsible for typographical errors or omissions.

11. TERMS: Cash or good check. A premium of 15% will be added to all property sold, to be paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price.

Note: All purchases subject to Massachusetts Sales Tax unless the buyer is the holder of an exemption certificate. Copies of said certificates must be on record with Klinger & Co., otherwise Tax will be collected at time of purchase.
