TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Buyer Information
Registration
To participate in an auction, all bidders must register. Registration is required for each upcoming auction. A convenient online registration form is
provided to all prospective bidders. All information provided by the registrants is kept strictly confidential and secure. Conte Cozio reserves the right
to cancel any registered account that violates the rules and regulations of the auction.
It is the bidder’s responsibility to keep his or her registration information up to date. Should any technical difficulties be encountered during the
registration, we ask you to call us at 267.987.5206.

Placing Bids
The automated bidding process reflects the bidding increment policy listed above. Each of the catalogued items has a Bid Here button that will allow
the bidders after successful registration and entering his or her Bidder ID and Password to place the bid. The default amount for each lot is the
opening bid. If a bid was already placed, the bidder will have a choice in entering the next increment or any amount above, which will constitute a
proxy bid.
Proxy bidding allows the bidder more flexibility. By selecting a maximum amount for any particular item on the auction, the bidder is allowing
auction’s software to act as an auctioneer by placing appropriately incremented bids until the entered amount is exceeded or the auction ends. In both
cases, Conte Cozio will notify the seller via email.
Although we encourage bidders to place bids on line, we are accepting telephone bids for lots with low-end estimates of $900 and above.
Telephone bids are recorded, and all prospective bidders consent to the recording of their conversations. To utilize this option a bidder should contact
Conte Cozio Auctions no later than 24 hours prior to the end of the lot of interest.
Bidding Notification
After a successful bid is made, the bidder will receive an email confirming the amount of his or her bid. An email notification will also be send to the
bidder if he or she was outbid.
Absentee bids
Phone, email and fax bids should be made no later than 24 hours prior to the end of the target lot. We will collect the information such as name,
address, and credit worthiness of the prospective bidder. Such bids will be treated as proxy bids and entered into the system with an assigned id.
Page 24
Conte Cozio will make every effort for accurate and timely execution of the bid and will not be responsible for any errors or failure to execute left
bids. Outbid notification is not possible for phone, email or in person bids.
Absentee bids are treated as proxy bids. If a proxy bid left on a lot is greater than or equal to the reserve amount placed and the bidding ends without
the reserve being met, the reserve amount will automatically apply to the lot. In this situation, the proxy bid amount meeting the reserve will win by
default.
For phone, mail, or in person bids left without email address, Conte Cozio will make every attempt to contact the bidder in timely manner,
but will not be held responsible for outbid notification.
Due to various individual bandwidths as well as personal computer settings, the auction software may not properly display the bidding
information on the screen or send a timely email notification. We always encourage the bidders to click on Bids button as well as a refresh
button to get the most current lot price information. Conte Cozio cannot guarantee continuous, uninterrupted, or secure access to the auction
site nor be held liable for any damages resulting from the loss of internet transmission, software malfunctions or any other related factors.
In case of experiencing Internet and/or Server service outages during which Bidders cannot participate or place bids, Conte Cozio may at its
discretion extend the bidding time for the auction.
Bidders unable to place their Bids through the Internet are asked to contact Conte Cozio Auctions at 267.987.5206.
Reserve
Some of the lots sold will carry a confidential minimum price known as reserve below which a lot will not be sold. Upon reaching the reserve, a
winning bidder will receive an immediate notification of the reserve being met. If a proxy bid left on a lot is greater than or equal to the reserve
amount placed and the bidding ends without the reserve being met, the reserve amount will automatically apply to the lot. In this situation, the proxy
bid amount that meets the reserve will win by default.
Time Extension
Time extension is a feature that allows the highest bidder who had been outbid in the last 5 minutes an additional 2 minutes that is automatically
added to the ending time of the lot.
After the Auction
Payments
Page 25
All sales are conducted in United States dollars. Winning bidders will be notified promptly after the close of sale by email or the telephone. Payment
is due upon presentment of an invoice, but no later than seven (7) working days after the close of bidding. The accepted forms of payment are a
personal/company check, cashier’s check, money order, wire transfer, cash or credit card (via PayPal). A processing fee of three percent (3%) is
applied to all PayPal payments. All payments and notices should be sent to Conte Cozio Auctions LLC, 2016 Wallace Street, Suite 1R, Philadelphia,

thousand dollars ($250,000) and ten percent (10%) of the total purchased price of two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) and above.
A full payment plus any applicable sales taxes and all charges associated with shipping (including insurance), and the Buyer's Premium shall
be received by Conte Cozio Auctions prior to releasing or sending any and all of the purchased lots. Conte Cozio reserves the right to void an
invoice if payment in full is not received within ten (10) days after the close of the Auction. In cases of nonpayment, Conte Cozio’s election
to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees (seller’s and buyer’s premium) on the lot and any
other damages pertaining to the lot.
No sales tax is charged for shipped purchases. The State’s seven percent (7%) tax
is applicable to all lots picked up at our locations.
Failure to pick-up or arrange shipping in a timely fashion (within ten days) shall subject Lots to storage and moving charges, including a $100
administration fee plus $10 daily storage for larger items and $5.00 daily for smaller items (storage fee per item) after 30 days. In the event the Lot is
not removed within ninety days, the Lot may be offered for sale to recover any past due storage or moving fees, including a 10% Seller’s
Commission.
Shipping
Unless alternative shipping instructions are received from the bidder, the purchased lots that have been paid in full will shipped by the means
indicated on Conte Cozio's preliminary invoice.

NOTE: On all foreign shipments, any risk of loss during shipment will be borne by the Bidder following Conte Cozio’s delivery to the Bidder’s
designated common carrier or third-party shipper.
WARRANTEES and GUARANTEES
All catalog descriptions and statements and subsequent invoices regarding measurement, authorship, source or origin, or other aspects are qualified
opines and do not constitute a warranty or representation, and are provided for identification purposes only. Auctioneer warrants only such authorship
of each Lot as set out in the BOLD face type heading in the catalog description of the lot, with the following exclusions: this warranty does not apply
to any catalog description where it was specifically mentioned that there is a conflict of specialist opinion on the authorship of a lot; or authorship
which on the date of Auction was in accordance with the then generally accepted opinion of scholars and specialists, despite the subsequent
discovery of new information, whether historical or physical, concerning the craftsman, his students, school, workshop or followers; or opines which
may be proven inaccurate by means of scientific processes not generally accepted for use or which were unreasonably expensive or impractical to use
at the time of publication of the catalog. Such limited warranty as to authorship is provided for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of the
auction’s end and is only for the benefit of the original purchaser of record and is not transferable, and any claim regarding a bold-faced provision
must be accompanied by three written estimates by independent and authorized by Conte Cozio Auctions appraisers in support of the claim. It is
specifically understood that any refund agreed to by Conte Cozio would be limited to the purchase price.
In the event Auctioneer cannot deliver the lot or subsequently it is established that the bold faced section of description is incorrect, Conte Cozio’s
liability shall be limited to rescission of sale and refund of purchase price; in no case shall Conte Cozio’s maximum liability exceed the high bid on
that lot, which shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the lot. After the warranty period of 15 days has elapsed, Auctioneer’s maximum liability
shall be limited to any commissions and fees Auctioneer earned on that lot. If Conte Cozio determines that the refund of the purchase price not
applicable, the Lot will be returned to the Purchaser at his or her sole risk and expense. All packaging, handling, shipping and insurance shall be the
sole responsibility of the Purchaser.
Provenance and authenticity are not guaranteed by the consignor or the Auctioneer. While every effort is made to determine provenance and
authenticity, it is the responsibility of the Bidder to arrive at their own conclusion prior to bidding. Provenance or other information regarding history
of ownership may be provided if known, or may be excluded at the request of the consignor.
