Conditions of Sale
All property is sold "AS IS", and neither O'Gallerie nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the merchantability, fitness, or condition of the property or as to the correctness of description, genuineness, attribution, provenance or period of the property. By bidding, you agree to these Conditions of Sale.
A Premium equal to a percentage of the successful bid price will be added to the bid prices and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price.
On the fall of the Auctioneer's hammer, title to the offered lot or article passes to the highest bidder who assumes full risk and responsibility thereof. The Auctioneer has sole discretion in the acceptance of bids and in the determination of the highest bidder.
All purchases are to be paid for during or immediately after the Auction. Credit card information is requested as part of the registration process. If payment arrangements are not made within one week following the auction, your credit card may be charged. O'Gallerie reserves the option to hold purchases until authorization is obtained on credit cards or bank wires are received.
No lot may be transferred to another buyer.
Removal of purchases, including packing & shipping arrangements if needed, is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Purchases may be picked up during the three business days following the auction, at which time all purchases are to be paid for and removed. Purchases not picked up within the three business days following the auction may be moved to a public warehouse at the purchaser's account, risk and responsibility. Additionally, O'Gallerie has the option to resell the property either privately or at auction without any requirement for notice or advertisement. The purchaser will be liable for any deficiency, all costs, including handling, storage fees and insurance, our commission(s) at regular rates or incidental damages.
If O'Gallerie should be prevented by fire, theft or any reason whatsoever from delivering any property to the purchaser, our liability shall be limited to the sum actually paid by the purchaser.
All lots in the Catalog may be subject to a reserve (a confidential minimum price below which the lot will not ordinarily be sold). We as the Agent for Consignor may place bids during the auction if and when the highest outstanding bid at any time during the sale is below the reserve which may have been established on the lot being offered. Consignors are not allowed to bid on their own property.
No reference to imperfections is made in the catalog descriptions or verbally by the Auctioneers. Since all sales are final and O'Gallerie makes no refunds, please verify our descriptions and carefully view the property at a preview before you bid. No employee of O'Gallerie is authorized to make on our behalf, or that of the Consignor, any representation or warranty, oral or written with respect to any property.
O'Gallerie reserves the right to withdraw any property at any time before actual sale, or reject a bid from any bidder.
Online Payment
We may allow you to pay for items you win using an online payment service. Online payment is not available for firearms/weapons purchases.
If you use the payment service, you will be required to provide information regarding your credit card or other payment instrument. You represent and warrant to O'Gallerie that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. You will promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You agree to pay O'Gallerie the amount that is specified for the item(s) you are purchasing in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions herein. If after three (3) business days you fail to pay for the items you win in full, O'Gallerie reserves the right to charge your credit card on file the entire amount due (including the hammer price, buyer's premium, all applicable taxes and other charges.)
In the event you file a chargeback with your credit card facility to reverse or invalidate a processed payment, O'Gallerie has the right to contest any such chargeback. We may request necessary information from you to contest the chargeback. If the chargeback is contested successfully, your payment will be released. If a chargeback dispute is resolved in your favor, you will recover the chargeback amount through your credit card facility.
Your Bid is a Contract
Please bid only if you will honor any purchases that you make.
Condition Information
As stated in our Terms & Conditions, condition information is not included in our lot descriptions. Any condition information made available is done so as a courtesy. It is only an opinion and should not be considered to be a statement of fact. O'Gallerie accepts no responsibility for any error or omission.

Most purchases can be paid for online with your Visa, Mastercard, Discover or American Express credit card. Credit card payment can also be made by telephone. You can also pay in person with cash, check, cashier's check, money order or credit card. Checks, cashier's checks and money orders are subject to a holding period for collection.
Shipping Terms
Although shipping arrangements are the sole responsibility of the buyer, O'Gallerie offers packing & shipping of smaller items only, to U. S. destinations only, for a nominal fee. Shipments are sent via UPS and USPS only. An outside shipping company would need to be used for larger items and/or items that need to reach destinations outside the U. S. Shipping company suggestions are available at www.ogallerie.com/buy/shipping. We strongly encourage prospective bidders to obtain shipping quotes prior to bidding.
