Terms And Coditions
Auction Terms & Conditions Bidder and Auctioneer agree that the terms listed below shall govern each auction. All registration information the Bidder provides Auctioneer shall be current, complete, and accurate. Bidders must be 18 years of age or older. Bidder acknowledges that each auction is conducted electronically and Auctioneer/Seller and Buyer rely on hardware and software that may malfunction without warning.
No oral or written statements made in the catalogue, online listing, advertisement, bill of sale, and announcement or elsewhere made by employees (including affiliated and related companies) shall be considered a warranty. We and the Consignor make no representations and warranties, expressed or implied, as to whether the purchaser acquires any copyrights, including but not limited to, any reproduction rights of any property. We and the Consignor are not responsible for errors and omissions in the catalogue, online listings, or any other supplemental material.
It is the responsibility of prospective bidders of live and online auctions to inspect the property and/or request a condition report before bidding to determine its condition, size, and to determine if it has been repaired or restored. Please email auction@kendallartcenter.com for a condition report. Kendall Art Center offers description and condition report with the sole purpose of behaving and executing as a third-party selling platform. Therefore, the bidders and Kendall Art Center should understand there's no liability for potential error or misleading information. Any statement or fact in the description and condition report is written and presented as a sole opinion from the auctioneer and auction house. All properties are sold as is and all sales are final. Though all description and commentary are believed to be correct, neither Auctioneer nor Consignor makes any warranties or representations of any kind with respect to merchandise. Buyer shall not rely on the auctioneer, employees, catalog description, or advertisements in any part and must rely only on his own inspection and opinions of all items. Kendall Art Center offers previews and high resolution photos for potential buyers to review and make their own conclusions about the piece. No employee is authorized to make any warranties, expressed or implied, on behalf of Kendall Art Center.
Kendall Art Center is not responsible for the research and provenance of each item, and is not responsible for authenticity, genuineness of, estimated selling price of, or defect in any lot, and makes no warranty in connection therewith. No allowance will be made nor sale set aside on account of any incorrectness, error in cataloging, or any imperfection not noted.
All items are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price acceptable to the consignor. During a live auction, the auctioneer may open any lot by bidding on behalf of the consignor and may bid up to the amount of the reserve by placing successive or consecutive bids for a lot or bids in response to other bidders. Online sales may do the same by employing the use of a starting bid which will commence bidding at or below the reserve price agreed to by the consignor. Kendall Art Center reserves the right to withdraw any property before the completion of the sale and will have no liability for doing so. We reserve the right to accept or decline any bid. Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale. All bids are per lot unless otherwise announced at a live sale by the auctioneer. Live auction lots will be sold in their numbered sequence unless the auctioneer directs otherwise. It is unlawful and illegal for Bidders to collude, pool, or agree with another Bidder to pay less than the fair value for lot(s). Bidders participating in both live and online auctions acknowledge that the law provides for substantial penalties in the form of treble damages and attorneys' fees and costs for those who violate these provisions. For live auctions, the auctioneer will have final discretion if any dispute should arise between bidders. The auctioneer will determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale, or re-offer and resell the lot or lots in dispute. Kendall Art Center Auction will have final discretion to resolve any disputes arising after the sale and in online auctions. If any dispute arises, our sale record is conclusive. Kendall Art Center Auction will execute order or absentee bids, and accept telephone bids as a courtesy to clients who are unable to attend the live auctions. Therefore, we take no responsibility for any errors or omissions about this service. Bids placed electronically via Internet may not be withdrawn until Bidder's written request is received and acknowledged by Kendall Art Center Auction; such request must state the reason and may constitute grounds for withdrawal of bidding privileges.
