2. CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT

These Terms and Conditions are current as of the date of at the bottom of this agreement, but are subject to revision by us at any time, without notice. Each time you enter into a transaction with us, or use our web site, you should review the current terms of this agreement. For each transaction and/or visit to our web site, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions then in force. You may not change, supplement, amend or assign your rights or responsibilities under this agreement in any manner. It is our express intent that any changes to this agreement be in writing, and evidenced by writing.

3. MISPRINTS AND ERRORS, PRICES AND PURCHASES

We endeavour to provide current and accurate information on the website and in our Catalogues. Nevertheless, misprints or other errors may occur. Accordingly, we reserve the right to change the prices, listed fees and charges at any time, without notice or liability to you or any other person. Also, we cannot guarantee that the Services advertised on the website will be available when a bid is submitted, or a lot is purchased, or at any relevant time. Accordingly, we reserve the right at any time to reject, correct, cancel or terminate any Services or other request. We reserve the right to refuse to accept any request for products and/or services, notwithstanding any course of dealing between the Auction House and you in the past.

4. BIDDING AT AUCTION AND PURCHASING AT RETAIL

In purchasing items, either at retail or at auction, you further agree to be bound by the following terms:

a) You are responsible for reading the full item listing, examining, inspecting, making arrangements for inspection or otherwise fully satisfying yourself as to the authenticity, condition and provenance, if any, of each lot upon which you place a bid, and acknowledge that you have not relied upon any representation made by us, our employees, officers, directors or agents.

b) You acknowledge that in placing a bid, you are extending an irrevocable offer to enter into a legally binding contract for purchase, and that a legally binding contract to purchase is formed when such bid is either the winning bid, or is otherwise accepted by us. You acknowledge that we are entitled to payment in full immediately upon acceptance, and that we may immediately submit the charges to your credit card if on file. Bids cannot be removed / retracted by you once submitted as each one is a legal commitment to buy the item at that price until it is outbid by another.

We recommend that BIDDERS PLACE MAXIMUM BIDS when bidding. You will only pay one minimum bid increment more than the next highest bid and only up to your maximum. The software system will play out the bids according to the bid increments and only uses the funds required to beat out the underbidder.

Review your bids at any time by clicking on your account and then Current Bids'. If you wish to retract or cancel a bid, please contact the auction house. You further acknowledge that ALL SALES ARE FINAL WITH NO REFUND, NO EXCHANGE AND NO STORE CREDIT.

c) While the Auction House has endeavoured to catalogue and describe correctly each lot to be sold, such representations merely reflect our opinion, are cursory in nature, and as such, are not to be relied upon in making purchasing decisions. You acknowledge that errors may include, but are not limited to, the catalogue or contents therein, lot description or other descriptions of the physical condition, trueness of the photographic image used in the online lot description or catalogue, medium, importance, authorship, origin, age, size, attribution, genuineness, authenticity, provenance, exhibitors, literature or historical relevance of any lot or item contained therein, and as such, the Auction House shall not be liable for any such errors or omissions. Measurements on paintings are approximate only and are of image size. Further, the absence of description regarding an item or the failure to note a flaw or defect in an item does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or free from defects, wear and tear, modification, alterations or other imperfections. Unless noted, all items have some amount of wear and tear, scratches, nicks, missing stitches or other imperfections, corresponding to their age and use. No statement made by us, whether written or oral, shall be deemed as a warranty, representation or condition. No sale will be set aside on account of any imperfection, regardless of whether noted. Each lot is sold "AS IS", "WHERE IS," "WITH ALL FAULTS" and "WITHOUT RECOURSE". Each and every lot is sold by us with all faults and defects and with all errors of description and is to be taken and paid for whether genuine and authentic or not and no compensation shall be paid regarding any imperfection, fault, damage or other defect. It is the responsibility of the buyer to determine the authenticity and condition (and to otherwise fully satisfy themselves) of each item prior to making a bid (or prior to purchase for those items listed by us for sale), and should the buyer lack the appropriate skills and knowledge, the buyer shall, at their expense engage an expert in determining authenticity, prior to purchase. No transaction shall be set aside on the basis that the buyer later determined any such item purchased to not be authentic, or have other fault or flaw, and all parties agree that each such sale shall have been intended by the parties to be for a "novelty or replica item," without regard to the description or image used, price actually paid or the market value of same (including the difference between the market value of the item as understood by the buyer, and the actual market value determined after proper inspection). Should the buyer place a bid or otherwise buy an item or lot without having satisfied themselves as to authenticity, condition or any other factor set forth in this subparagraph, the buyer shall be deemed to have intended to purchase a "novelty or replica item." In such case, the buyer agrees to waive any claim or defence alleging inadequate consideration. To be clear, the buyer assumes all risks relating to the authenticity and condition of items, along with the other factors set forth herein, and agrees to hold the Auction House harmless in regard to same.

The company makes no representation or warranty and accepts no liability whatsoever to the seller, the buyer, or any third party in respect of the availability or issuance of valid import and export permits or the existence or exercise of pre-emption or other rights to purchase by governmental or regulatory authorities anywhere.

All lots that do not carry established documented provenance nor any past record of auction history record are described in the catalog as attributed.

d) You expressly acknowledge that the contents of our website and/or catalogs and/or other promotional material, including, but not limited to lot descriptions, does not constitute advice or a recommendation. You expressly acknowledge that you have a responsibility to seek professional third party advice and recommendations before acting, at the risk of overpaying for a "novelty item" or otherwise not receiving the item you had thought you were bargaining for and purchasing. You expressly acknowledge that you have not acted, or omitted to act based on any information provided by us. As noted above, we list items as we understand them to be, based on our opinion and what we are told by the sellers of each item, and sometimes we are fooled or otherwise get it wrong.

e) All descriptions appearing on-line are subject to any variation announced by the auctioneer, on-line or otherwise, prior to the time of sale. No representation is made in respect to any copyrights available to any purchaser. All prospective purchasers shall have an opportunity to inspect all lots prior to the time of the auction and it is recommended that they do so. Purchasers assume all risks by failing to inspect and/or have items and/or lots properly authenticated prior to purchase. Nothing within this contract shall limit the purchaser's recourse against an expert retained by them to determine authenticity. We are an auction house and/or small collectibles store only, and are unable to, and do not, guarantee the authenticity of any items listed for sale, or the condition of same, whether at auction or retail.

f) Estimates of item value are merely that, and are intended to help prospective purchasers estimate what amount of money that might be required for the purchase of a particular lot. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price, and the price at auction will not be below that amount. Estimates do not include the Buyer's Premium. Estimates are subject to revision at any time, and are in no way definitive.

g) The auctioneer and 888 Auctions Inc. have the right to withdraw any item from bidding at any time, for any reason, and/or to divide any lot, or to combine any two or more lots, in their sole discretion. Likewise, the auctioneer and 888 Auctions Inc. have the right, at their discretion, and without penalty, to default or cancel any sale in the event of an error or dispute. The auctioneer has the right to refuse and/or reject any bid and to advance the bidding and set bidding increments, at his absolute discretion. The highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. If any dispute should arise between bidders, or in the event of any doubt on the part of the auctioneer as to the validity of any bid, the auctioneer may, at his discretion, determine the successful bidder, or he may reoffer the lot, and in making this determination, the auctioneer shall have absolute discretion. The auctioneer will also have full discretion to reopen the bidding, cancel any sale and/or re-offer or resell the property. Should a dispute arise after the auction, our sale record is conclusive. Further, the purchaser acknowledges that invoices generated during the sale or shortly after may not be error free, and are subject to review to correct errors.

h) The purchaser will be the highest bidder for the lot accepted by the auctioneer and will thereupon pay the full purchase price, including the 18% buyer's premium and all applicable taxes.

i) Each lot sold at auction is subject to a buyer's premium of 18% on top of the purchase and/or hammer price, payable by the purchaser, and shall form a lien and first security interest on any such item purchased.

j) The purchaser shall, at the time of opening an on-line account and at the time of registering and placing a bid, make available to us, the name, address and telephone number of the purchaser and make payment as aforesaid. Also, if the required payment is not complied with, we may assert a lien and first security interest on any works purchased by the purchaser and any funds owing by us to the consignor and in addition to all other remedies we may have. In our sole discretion, we may resell any of the lots affected without notice to the original purchaser and in such case the original purchaser shall be responsible to us and the consignor for: (a) any deficiency in price between the resale amount and the amount that should have been paid by the original purchaser, (b) reasonable charges for storage, (c) any excess commission which would have been earned by us had the original sale been completed in full, and (d) such additional fees and charges as may be reasonably incurred by us.

k) Risk of damage/loss is conveyed immediately after retail sale or upon receipt of payment (including waiting for a cashier's cheque to clear) after a successful bid at auction, as the case may be, and buyers are encouraged to immediately (after payment) remove such items from the premises and/or to secure their own insurance on same. While we will try to handle and store items left at our facility after sale, we disclaim all liability for loss or damage to those items, from all causes, including specifically our own negligence, or the negligence of those for whom we are at law responsible. If shipping is necessary, buyer shall make all arrangements for shipping, and pay all associated charges. Buyer is solely responsible for purchasing insurance on each item purchased.

l) Each lot offered for sale may be subject to an unpublished reserve in consultation between the consignor and us. The auctioneer may bid on behalf of the consignor. We also, as a service, may provide absentee order bids for purchasers who cannot participate in the on-line auction. We shall attempt to execute the absentee bid at the lowest possible price taking into account the reserve price and other bids. If identical bids are left by two or more parties, the first bid received by us will take priority. We shall not be responsible for errors or failures to execute such bids.

m) We reserve the right to refuse admission to our premises, any preview, on-line auction or to accept any bids from any particular person or persons at any on-line auction in our sole discretion.

o) Bidding is in Canadian or US dollars, as indicated.

p) Timed internet bidding is available during the auction. 888 Auctions cannot be held liable for internet bids that are not sent, received, or executed by the platform. If you are bidding on-line, please bid quickly because there is a time delay in receiving these bids, and if problems are experienced, we may not receive your bid at all. The timed auction features a soft close feature. Our soft close feature ensures bidding is fair for all. In the closing moments of an auction, if a bid is placed during the last 2 minutes on an item, it will extend the bidding for that item for an additional two minutes. This is similar to a live auction during which the bidding will continue as long as bidders increase the bid amounts

5. PAYMENT

BILLING/INVOICING: REGISTRATION IS FREE with NO CREDIT CARD CHARGED UNLESS YOU WIN. A verification for $1.00 is done to validate the credit card(s) on file. If you are the winner on an item(s) after an auction closes, we charge the credit card the high bid price plus an 18% BUYER's PREMIUM and applicable retail sales taxes on top. Invoices for the winning bidders will be sent to the buyer's email after the end of the sale.

6. NON-PAYMENT & FAILURE TO COLLECT LOT(S)

Where the purchaser fails to make payment in full, or to collect their lots as required once full payment has been received, the Auction House, in its absolute discretion, may elect one or more of the following remedies without providing further notice to the purchaser and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies the Auction House may have:

i) To issue judicial proceedings against the Buyer for damages for breach of contract together with the costs of such proceedings on a full indemnity basis;

ii) To rescind the sale of that or any other Lot(s) sold to the Buyer;

iii) To charge the full purchase price against any credit cards then on file for the purchaser, without the need for any signatures;

iv) To resell the Lot or cause it to be resold by public or private sale, or by way of live or online auction, with any deficiency to be claimed from the Buyer and any surplus, after Expenses, to be delivered to the purchaser. By way of liquidated damages, in any subsequent sale, the Auction House will again be entitled to both a seller's commission and a buyer's premium, calculated in each instance based upon the greater of the sales prices from the various auctions;

v) To store the Lot on the premises of the Auction House or third party storage facilities with Expenses accruing to the account of the purchaser, and to release the Lot to the purchaser only after payment of the Purchase Price and Expenses to the Auction House;

vi) To charge compound interest on the Purchase Price (which includes the buyer's premium and HST if applicable), at the annual rate of fifty-nine

(59) percent, or otherwise at the maximum rate allowable by law;

vii) To retain that or any other Lot sold to, or placed for sale by, the purchaser at the same or any other auction and release the same only after payment of the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price;

viii) To apply any Proceeds of Sale of any Lot then due or at any time thereafter becoming due to the purchaser towards settlement of the Purchase Price, and the Auction House shall be entitled to a lien on any other property of the purchaser which is in the Auction House's possession for any purpose;

ix) To apply any payments made by the purchaser to the Auction House towards any sums owing from the purchaser to the Auction House without regard to any directions received from the purchaser or his agent, whether express or implied; and

x) In the absolute discretion of the Auction House, to refuse or revoke the Buyer's registration in any future auctions held by the Auction House.

xi) To transfer the putative purchasers' account for collections, for which purchaser further agrees to such additional charges as imposed by the collections agency and all reasonable charges incurred in a collections action, again, on a full indemnity basis.

7. REMOVAL/PICKUP

WE DO NOT SHIP. DO NOT BID IF YOU CANNOT ATTEND (or arrange for) PICKUP AT THE PUBLISHED PICKUP DATE/TIME/LOCATION. Items not picked up will be considered abandoned without refund and your bidding privileges may be revoked. WE DO NOT SUPPLY tools, packing material or assist with moving your purchases. PLEASE BRING HELP to move large items. You are responsible for DAMAGE TO PROPERTY caused directly by you or your help with the repair costs being charged to your credit card. DO NOT BRING YOUNG CHILDREN to the pickup as the movement of household items presents an extremely high risk environment that could result in injury or death. All buyers must be prepared to show photo ID, the invoice, and the credit card used on file before items will be released.

8. CLAIMS

All items sold through 888 Auctions is sold in AS IS WHERE IS condition. ALL SALES ARE FINAL WITH NO REFUND, NO EXCHANGE, and NO CREDIT. It is the bidder's responsibility to determine the exact condition/authenticity of each item. No statement in this catalogue or by representatives of 888 Auctions shall be considered as a warranty or assumption of liability. Written and oral descriptions given by 888 Auctions staff members are given as a courtesy to a client, are only an opinion, and should not be considered as a guarantee of age, composition, or authenticity. 888 Auctions does not make any express or implied warranty as to the authenticity, history or artist. No statement in this catalog or elsewhere, orally or in writing, shall be construed as an express or implied warranty, representation or assumption of liability as to authenticity. Any such warranty is waived. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear or imperfections. Unless noted all items have some amount of acceptable wear, scratches, nicks, missing stitches, etc. for their age. Measurements on paintings and pictures are image size. Estimates are of market value and are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price and certainly will not be below it. Estimates do not include the Buyer's Premium. Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are in no sense definitive.

9. CONDITIONS OF ARTICLES SOLD

All items are sold "AS IS, WHERE IS." We do not guarantee the safety or regulatory compliance of any items, which may include infant and child products. UNLESS authentication is provided, all items are sold without a Certificate Of Authenticity. Buyer beware.

10. TRESPASSING

You understand that being at the Seller's property at any time other than the preview and pickup times constitutes trespassing. Furthermore, you understand that the SELLER IS NOT TO BE CONTACTED (directly including by phone/email/etc or indirectly). Anyone found trespassing will have their bidding privileges immediately revoked and may be subject to investigation by the authorities.

11. COMMUNITY STANDARDS

888 Auctions strives to provide our clients and employees with a safe, supportive marketplace and workspace. As such, any abusive or threatening statements or behavior, or other actions deemed inconsistent with these Community Standards in the sole discretion of 888 Auctions Inc. may result in revocation of bidding privileges and closure of accounts of those responsible without notice. It is our community standard that everyone be treated with courtesy and respect.

RISK TO PERSON AND PROPERTY: BY REGISTERING AS A BUYER, YOU AGREE THAT NEITHER WE (NOR THE SELLER) ARE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGE TO THE ITEMS YOU PURCHASED, YOUR OTHER PERSONAL PROPERTY, OR FOR INJURY OR DEATH.
