9. Liability of New England Auctions and Sellers(a) Goods auctioned are usually of some age. All goods are sold with all faults and imperfections

and errors of description. Illustrations in catalogues are for identification only. Buyers should satisfy themselves prior to sale as to the condition of each lot, and should exercise and rely on their own judgment as to whether the lot accords with its description. Subject to the obligations accepted by New England Auctions under this Condition, none of the seller, New England Auctions, its servants or agents is responsible for errors of descriptions or for the genuineness or authenticity of any lot, no warranty whatever is given by New England Auctions, its servants or agents, or any seller to any buyer in respect to any lot and any express or implied conditions or warranties hereby excluded.

(b) If within 30 days of the auction, the buyer gives notice to New England Auctions in writing that an item is a forgery or defective in text or illustration and returns the lot to New England Auctions in the same condition in which it was at the time of the auction indicating the number of the lot and the date of the auction at which it was purchased, and it is established that the lot is defective, or a forgery, New England Auctions will rescind the sale and refund any amount paid in respect to the lot: Provided that such an item may not be returned nor will its sale be set aside or refund made if:

2. Bidding incrementsThe auctioneer shall have the right to refuse any bid which does not meet the set increments as the auctioneer shall in his absolute discretion direct.
