All lots are sold AS IS and without recourse. Neither Donley Auction Services nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied with respect to such lots.
Neither Donley Auction Services nor its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, the correctness of the catalog, or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold.
The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the catalog, or in supplements to the catalog, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Donley Auction Services and its consignor(s) make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold.
Donley Auction Services expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in the catalog.
**At the Sale**
Refusal of Admission: Donley Auction Services has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid.
Registration before Bidding: A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before entering the auction gallery and bidding. We may require bank or other financial references.
Bidding as Principal: When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer's premium, all applicable taxes, and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Donley Auction Services before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Donley Auction Services, and that Donley Auction Services will only look to the principal for payment.
**Absentee Bids**
We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent, or by email. No telephone absentee bids will be accepted.
Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars and must adhere to the bid increment schedule. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first.
Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we DO NOT accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid.
A credit card number must be provided when placing Absentee and Phone Bids. Card on file will be charged immediately after auction for winning bids, unless approved by Randy Donley.
Telephone Bids: On lots with a low estimate of $500 and above, and if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us at least 24 hours prior to the commencement of the sale, we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone.

Online Bids: We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet, connectivity glitches, or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids. Since we use multiple bidding platforms there can be multiple people with the same max bid. When the bidding stops at a certain price, if no one bids higher, the bid that the auctioneer takes at that certain price will be the winner. That may be the floor or any of the platforms, and there may have been other bidders with that same max bid.
Reserves: Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, at the absolute discretion of Donley Auction Services. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders.
With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backward at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount.
Auctioneer's Discretion: The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to re-offer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive.
Successful Bid: The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will be determined by the auctioneer at his or her sole discretion. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to reoffer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, Donley Auction Services sales record shall be conclusive.
Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer's hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder subject to the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, and the bidder assumes full risk and responsibility.
