1. All items are sold AS IS, WHERE IS
with all faults. There are no warranties or representations
of merchantability, of fitness, nor of any other kind, express
or implied. All items are available for your examination
prior to bidding. Written and oral descriptions are our
opinions and should in no way be construed as a guarantee
of any kind as to authenticity, age, condition, materials
or any other feature of items being sold. Four Seasons Auction
Gallery attempts to catalog every lot correctly and will
attempt to point out any defects but will not be responsible
or liable for the correctness of the catalog or other descriptions
of the lot.
We recommend prospective bidders examine all items in which
they have an interest. By placing a bid, either in person,
by phone, absentee or via the Internet, you signify that
you have examined the items as fully as you desire to or
that you have chosen not to examine them. If you require
absolute certainty in all areas of authenticity, and the
results of your evaluation leave uncertainty in your mind,
we recommend you have an expert examine the lot for you
or do not bid on the item in question.
If your item(s) are damaged in shipping, you will need to
contact the shipper to file a claim. If your item(s) are
being shipped and there is a condition problem upon receipt,
you are expected to notify us immediately by phone at 404-876-1048.
Our consignors are paid within 10 business days following
the end of the auction.
Consequently, any condition concerns will be null and void
after 5 business days following the end of the auction.

late, this does not qualify you for special privileges.
