By registering to bid at auction, you hereby enter into, and agree to be bound and to comply with the following terms and conditions.
AS IS- all property is sold ‘as is’ without representation or warranties by LLAG or the consignor, express or implied, as to the correctness of the catalogue or other description of the authenticity, size, rarity, quality, medium, frame, period date, age, exhibitions, importance of provenance, literature or historical significance or relevance, attribution, fitness for particular purpose and no statement anywhere, whether oral or written, whether made in the catalog, sales room posting or announcement, invoice, condition report or elsewhere, shall be deemed such a warranty, representation or assumption of liability.
All lots will be available for inspection prior to the auction either during the posted public preview or prior to the sale by appointment. LLAG strongly urges and advises prospective bidders to examine any lots in which they are interested personally, prior to auction.
While LLAG is not obligated to provide a condition report, condition reports for most lots can be found online on both the LLAG website (louielukeauctiongallery.com) and bidding platform (liveauctioneers.com). Potential bidders are encouraged to contact LLAG for additional condition information on any lot. LLAG does not warrant the condition of any lot.
The absence of a condition report does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from imperfections, wear or effects of aging. Condition reports provided as a courtesy by LLAG – whether online or at a person’s request – are based on a visual inspection and for guidance only. Such condition reports should not be relied on as statements of fact and do not constitute a representation, assumption of liability or warranty by LLAG. Condition is a subjective evaluation, and the final responsibility rests with the buyer to assess the condition of any item sold by LLAG.
LLAG and the consignor are not responsible for errors and omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material. Any description of a lot’s dimensions and weights is approximate. No description or report about a lot is a substitute for your own examination of a lot.
LLAG and the consignor make no representation or warranty, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights in any property.
If you own an item similar to something we’ve sold, we’re of course happy to talk about the possibility of including it in an upcoming sale.
