4. CATALOGUE AND ITEMS

4.1 Descriptions

All statements by Transitional Design in the catalog entries for the property or in the condition reports or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied upon as statements of fact. Transitional Design attempts to catalog and photograph every lot correctly and will attempt to point out all defects but will not be responsible or liable for the correctness of the catalog, other descriptions or visual depiction of any lot. Sizes and weights are approximate. The absence of any reference to the condition, and/or Buyer’s inability to see every detail of a lot in the catalog and photographs, does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied upon as statements that this is the price, for which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose. Transitional Design cannot test all items, therefore items sold as “untested” are sold as-is with no warranties expressed or implied. Neither Transitional Design nor the Seller is responsible for any errors and omissions in the catalog or any supplemental material.

4.2 Condition

Transitional Design makes no guarantees, warranties or representations, expressed or implied, with respect to the property of any lot sold, its visual depictions on the Transitional Design website, the correctness of the catalog, and statements of the authenticity of authorship, physical condition, size, quality, rarity, medium, material, genuineness, period, culture, source, historical significance of any lot sold.  No statement anywhere, whether oral or written, or posting of a photograph, shall be deemed as such a guarantee, warranty or representation.

4.3 Preview

The sole purpose of a Preview is to give You the opportunity to see the item(s) in person before placing a bid. Previews will occur at the sole discretion of the auction manager, and times and availability will vary, or depending on location may not be available. Refer to the Auction Details section for preview availability. Please contact the Auction Manager should you have any questions or concerns about items in an online auction.

4.4 Discretion

All aspects of an online auction are subject to change without prior notice.

5. BUYER’S RESPONSIBILITIES

5.1   Responsibilities

You, as a prospective Buyer, are responsible for personally examining or otherwise insuring satisfaction with all lots, in which You have an interest. By placing a bid, You signify that You have examined, or otherwise insured Your satisfaction with the lot as fully as You desire; or that You have chosen not to examine, or otherwise insure Your satisfaction. If You require absolute certainty in all areas of authenticity, condition, etc., and the results of Your examination and/or other investigation leave uncertainty in Your mind, Transitional Design recommends You have an independent expert examine the lot for You prior to bidding.  If You are the winning bidder, You are obligated to pay for the full amount of the invoice.

Lots will close two per minute.  Should a bid be placed within the last two minutes of a lot’s ending time, the ending time will automatically be extended to two minutes from the time that bid is placed.
