event shall be responsible for the correctness of description, genuineness, attribution, provenance, authenticity,
authorship, completeness, condition of property or estimate of value. We do not guarantee authorship, signatures,
or markings. No statement (oral or written) in this catalog, at the sale, or elsewhere shall be deemed such a
warranty or representation, or any assumption of responsibility. All measurements are approximate.

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.

point out any defects, but will not be responsible or liable for the correctness of the catalog or other descriptions
of the lot.

auction. Please note that if you pay late and thus receive your item(s) late, this does not qualify you for special
privileges.
e. NO REFUNDS! ALL SALES ARE FINAL!
5. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer has the right to reject
any bid, to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion, and in the event of any disputes between bidders, the

resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after sale, the California Asian Art Gallery USA's sale record shall
be conclusive in all respects.
6. If the auctioneer determines that any opening or later bid or any advance bid is not commensurate with the
value of the Property offered, he may reject the same and withdraw the Property from sale.
7. Upon the fall of the hammer, title to any offered lot or article will immediately pass to the highest bidder
as determined in the exclusive discretion of the auctioneer. Such bidder thereupon assumes full risk and
responsibility for the property sold, agrees to sign any requested confirmation of purchase, and agrees to pay the
full purchase price therefore or such part upon such terms as the Company may require.
a. All property shall be paid for and removed by the purchaser at his/her expense within seven (7) days of sale

indirectly, as a bidder or purchaser in any future sale or sales. The Company will not be responsible for any loss,
damage, theft, or otherwise responsible for any goods left in the Company's possession after seven (7) days.
b. If the foregoing conditions or any applicable provisions of law are not complied with, in addition to other
remedies available to the Company and the Consignor (including without limitation the right to hold the
purchaser(s) liable for the bid price) the Company, at its option, may either cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated
damages all payments made by the purchaser(s), or resell the property. In such event, the purchaser(s) shall
remain liable for any deficiency in the original purchase price and will also be responsible for all costs, including
warehousing, the expense of the ultimate sale, and the Company's commission at its regular rates together with
all related and incidental charges, including legal fees.
c. Payment is a precondition to removal. Payment shall be by cash, certified check or similar bank draft, or any
other method approved by the Company. Checks will not be deemed to constitute payment until cleared. The
