Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer's hammer, and thereafter the property is at the purchaser's risk, and neither the owner nor the Company is responsible for the loss of, or any damage to any article by theft, fire, breakage, however occasioned, or any other cause whatsoever.
Articles not paid for in full and not called for by the purchaser by noon of the day following that of the sale may be turned over by the Company to some carter to be carried to and stored in some warehouse until the time of the delivery therefrom to the purchaser, and the cost of such cartage and storage and any other charges will be charged against the purchaser, and the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal or storage will be upon the purchaser.' (llin any instance where the bill has not been paid in full by noon of the day following that of the sale, the Company reserves the right, any other stipulation in these conditions of sale to the contrary notwithstanding, in respect to any or all lots included in the bill, at its option, either to cancel 'the sale thereof or to resell the same at public or private sale without further notice for the account of the buyer and to hold the buyer responsible for any deficiency sustained in so doing.
The Company exercises great care to catalogue every lot correctly and endeavors therein and also at the actual time of the sale to point out any error, defect, or imperfection, but guaranty is not made either by the owner or the Company of the correctness of the description, genuineness, authenticity or condition of any lot, and no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing or imperfection not noted or pointed out. Every lot is sold as is and without recourse.
Buying or bidding by the Company for responsible parties on orders trans mitted to it by mail, telegraph, or telephone, if conditions permit, will be faithfully attended to without charge. Any purchases so made will besubject to the foregoing conditions of sale. Orders for execution by the Company should be given with such clearness as to leave no room for mis understanding. Not only should the lot number be given, but also the name of the object, and a bid on several objects catalogued under a single number should be stated to be so much per piece unless the description contains the notation in which case the bid should be stated to be so much for the lot. If the one transmitting the order is unknown to the Company, a deposit must be sent or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also be given.
