any implied warranty of fitness for purpose or
merchantability.
Any and all statements and descriptions in any cata-
logue or elsewhere by MA, relating to age, attribu-
tion, authenticity, size, genuineness, provenance, his-
torical relevance or significance, physical condition,
importance, quality, quantity, rarity, period, culture,

qualified opinion only.
MAs disclaimer of liability covers information con-

or representation with regard to the existence of or
the transfer of intellectual property rights, except
and to such extent as may, from time to time, be

No employee of MA is authorized to nor shall make
any warranty or representation on MAs behalf,
except as stated in the catalog or in any written
addendum.
ESTIMATES OF VALUE
All estimates of value as published in our Catalogues
or elsewhere are statements of qualified opinion as
to the range of the price a willing buyer might pay
for the Property at auction. The actual price paid at
auction or subsequently, may vary substantially from
the estimates. MA shall not be liable for any such
differential.
BUYERS DEFAULT
If a Buyer fails to pay for purchased Property, or
otherwise does not comply with these Conditions
of Sale, the Buyer shall be in default. In addition to
all remedies available in law, to MA and to the
Consignor, the Buyer shall be liable for the entire
Purchase price. Additionally, at our option, we may
either cancel the sale and retain all payments made
by Buyer as well as retain any and all Property of
Buyer in our possession as security against payment
of the sums in default, or we may re-offer the
Property for sale, at auction or privately, without
reserve. Buyer shall be liable to us and the
Consignor for the additional fees, commissions and
costs on both sales (including handling, storage and
court costs and attorneys fees) resulting from the
cancellation or resale of the Property and in the
event of resale, any deficiency which may result.
RESCISSION
The sole and exclusive remedy, available only to the
original buyer, is the limited right of rescission set
forth herein. MA will cancel the sale of Property if
the original buyer establishes to our satisfaction that
there has been a breach of the Consignors warran-
ty of title, or that the identification of Authorship*
of the Property as set forth in Bold Type Heading is
not substantially correct, based on a fair reading of
the Catalogue (as may be amended by posted or
announced changes.) IN ALL INSTANCES, YOU
MUST GIVE WRITTEN NOTICE TO US WITHIN
30 DAYS OF THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY,
SETTING FORTH THE BASIS FOR YOUR CLAIM
AND, AT YOUR SOLE EXPENSE AND RISK,
RETURN THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION TO MA
WITHIN SEVEN (7) DAYS AFTER NOTICE IS
GIVEN AND IN THE SAME CONDITION AS
WHEN SOLD. Upon review of the claim and the
property, if we are satisfied with the bases for your
claim and the property is in the same condition it
was in when sold, MA will rescind the sale and
return to you the Purchase price, unless we have
already remitted funds to the Consignor. In that
event, and at MAs sole discretion, MA shall either
pay you as provided above, or shall pay you only
that portion of the Purchase price retained by us
(the Sellers commission, the buyers premium and
any sales taxes collected) and on your behalf make
demand on the Consignor for the balance and upon
receipt of the funds remit same to you. Should the
Consignor refuse to return the funds to you or to
MA, we shall disclose the Consignors identity and
assign to you any and all rights MA may have against
the Consignor. Any and all liability MA may have as
agent for the Consignor shall thereupon terminate.
BUYER EXPRESSLY UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES
THAT MA SHALL HAVE NO OTHER LIABILITY
TO THE BUYER EXCEPT FOR THE RETURN OF
THE PURCHASE PRICE AND THAT IN NO EVENT
SHALL MA BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR
COMPENSATORY DAMAGES OR LOSS OF
PROFIT OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.
*Authorship refers to the maker or creator of the
Property, and the period, social culture, and origin of
the Property as stated in the Bold Type Heading for
a given lot in our catalogue. It does not refer to the
descriptions which may be contained in the informa-
tion below the Bold Type Heading.
MISCELLANEOUS mediator acceptable to the parties shall be selected.

the Conditions of Sale shall bind MA unless con-
tained in a writing signed by MA, except as may be
posted or published as noted above or verbally
announced at time of sale.

Conditions of Sale is held to be invalid or unen-
forceable, the remaining portion shall be valid and
enforceable.

be binding on all the heirs and assigns of the Buyers
and bidders and inure to the benefit of MAs succes-
sors and assigns.

provisions of the Conditions of Sale will be con-
strued and disputes determined by application of
California Law, without regard to conflicts of law.

notices and service of process relating to dispute
resolution at the address provided by Buyer on any

the Consignor, including, but not limited to any
action brought pursuant to the rescission provisions
noted above

chased lots is at the risk and expense of the pur-

bility to obtain a shipping quote for any lot being
offered, from an outside shipper, prior to the auc-

for cancellation of any purchase made at auction.

can be expensive and that MA will ship no property

and only after packing and shipping costs have been
disclosed by MA. When MA is to pack and ship, MA

packing and handling and the UPS fee. The Purchaser

ance has been waived or has been obtained by pur-
chaser. Shipment may take up to 21 days after pay-
ment is received.

JEWELRY SOLD AT MICHAANS AUCTIONS:
It is the responsibility of the bidder to examine
carefully any item(s) of potential interest.
For all the jewelry sold here at Michaans Auctions
the following applies:
All gemstone weights are approximate.
We are aware of the many types of treatments and/
or enhancements used today on diamonds and col-
ored stones. The purpose is to improve their
appearance i.e. color and/or clarity. Techniques like
heat treatments, color diffusion, irradiated, HTHP,
oiling, resin, bleaching, dying and impregnation are
just a few techniques known today. Some treatments
combined. Some treatments are not detectable using
45
standard gemological procedures. Not all treatments
are permanent. Prospective buyers are therefore
reminded that unless otherwise noted in the
description(s), it must be assumed that some form
of enhancement may have been used.
Regarding laboratories certification: The certifica-
tions mentioned in the descriptions only reflect the
opinions of the laboratory. From one laboratory to
another they do differ on the degrees of grading
and/or treatments. And if a stone has a certificate
from a laboratory we cannot guarantee this grading.
Watches must be examined carefully. Although we
do attempt to mention in our descriptions signifi-
cant defects, needed repairs, absent stones and the
like, we do not guarantee the accuracy or operation
of any watch function.
Detailed condition reports are available for most
pieces. These reports contain more information than
the catalog descriptions. Images shown may appear
smaller or larger than actual size.
PROPERTY MADE FROM OR CONTAINING
MATERIALS FROM ENDANGERED OR
PROTECTED SPECIES
Property that contains any percentage of material
made or potentially made from endangered and/or
other protected species of wildlife are, as a courtesy,
marked in the catalogue with the symbol * .
Michaans Auctions does not accept any responsibili-
ty or liability for failing to mark such lots. Such
material includes, but is not limited to, ivory, tortoise
shell, crocodile skin, whalebone, rhinoceros horn,
some species of coral and certain woods.
Prospective buyers are advised that several coun-
tries completely prohibit importation of property
made, all or in part, of proscribed materials. Some
countries require special permits, such as a CITES
permit, from the relevant regulating authority in the
countries of exportation and importation as well.
Potential buyers intending to import the property
into another country should be familiar with the rel-
evant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding
on property containing wildlife material. Regulations
may vary as the U.S. prohibits importation of articles
containing material(s) from species it has designated
endangered or threatened if the articles are less
than 100 years old.
It shall be the potential buyers sole responsi-
bility to research and satisfy the require-
ments of any laws and regulations that apply
to the import and export of property as
described in the aforementioned paragraphs.
Prospective buyers must also note that the
inability or delay in obtaining permits, licens-
es or other permissions to import or export
property containing potentially regulated

Definitions of Authorship:
This is to qualify the relationship between the object
and the named person in the catalogue. The follow-
ing conventions for attribution are used by
Michaans Auctions:
Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work by the art-
ist. When the artists forename(s) is not known, a
series of asterisks, followed by the surname of the
artist, whether preceded by an initial or not, indi-
cates that in our opinion the work is by the artists
named.
Attributed to Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion
probably a work by the artist but less certainty as
to authorship is expressed than in the preceding
category.
Studio of Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work
by an unknown hand in the studio of the artist,
which may or may not have been executed under
the artists direction.
Circle of Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work
by an as yet unidentified by distinct hand, closely
associated with the named artist but not necessarily
his pupil.
Style of ......; follower of Giovanni Bellini: In
our opinion a work by a painter working in the art-
ists style, contemporary or near contemporary, but
not necessarily his pupil.
Manner of Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a
work in the style of the artist and of a later date.
after Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a copy of a
known work of the artist.
The term signed and/or dated and/or inscribed
means that in our opinion the signature and/or date
and/or inscription are from the hand of the artist.
The term bears a signature and/or date and/or
inscription means that in our opinion the signature
and/or date and/or inscription have been added by
another hand.

ing inscription... In our opinion the signature/

cant restoration and alteration.
