Warranties and Guarantees All items are served “As-Is, Where-Is,” except as expressly stated otherwise in the following paragraph: All information in the catalogue concerning authenticity is guaranteed for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of sale. In that time, prior to payment to the consignor of the work, the Auction House will allow the buyer to submit, at his own expense, an opinion in writing from a recognized expert, pre-approved by the Auction House and the purchaser, regarding authenticity. In the event the work is judged inauthentic by the expert, the work may be returned in the same condition as at time of sale and the buyer’s full purchase price will be refunded. Refunds shall not include costs of transportation, insurance, or other expenses that may have been incurred by the buyer. It is the buyer’s responsibility to make payment in a timely fashion such that the property can be released and inspected within this thirty (30) day time frame. Should the buyer not do so, or should the buyer request the auction house to delay shipment, should he give an incorrect shipping address, or be unavailable to receive shipment, the thirty (30) day warranty shall still apply. If the Auction House has paid the consignor the amounts due consignor as a result of the sale, the Auction House will (i) refund to the buyer the amount of the buyer’s premium and applicable taxes received from the buyer, and (ii) make written demand upon the consignor for the payment of the balance of the purchase price. If the consignor fails to honor the written demand for a refund of the balance of the purchase price, the Auction House will furnish buyer the name and address of the consignor, and assign to buyer all of the Auction House’s rights for the return of the balance of the purchase price of the affected lot.

This Warranty does not cover wear on furniture. This Warranty does not cover flakes, surface scratches, or manufacturing flaws in glass or ceramics. The description of clocks and lighting devices, whether in catalogues or condition reports, may be incomplete and not identify every mechanical replacement, repair, or defect. The absence of reference to the condition of a clock or lighting device does not imply it to be in working condition or without defects, repairs, restorations, or replacement parts. The description of jewelry, whether in catalogues, condition reports, or any other form, is rendered as opinion, including, but not limited to, specialist opinion as to authenticity, the enhancement or treatment of gemstones, the weight of gemstones, the country of origin, the authorship or origin (manufacture) of an item, its period (or c.) or the authenticity of its marks. No warranty is made that any watch is in working condition or without defects, restorations, or working parts. Buyers are advised to check watch works prior to auction. All measurements are approximate. This disclaimer of liability on our part applies whether the information is included in the catalogue, advertisements, announcements, or communicated through our representatives, bills of sale, or elsewhere, and whether written or oral. No Warranty of Reproduction: Neither the consignor nor we make any warranty or representation, express or implied, as to whether a buyer will acquire any reproduction rights, copyrights or other intellectual property rights in, or with respect to, the Property.

If you are acting as another’s agent or principal, we may request a letter of authorization. If you are successful and do not remit payment as specified, the amount owed will be charged to your credit card together with such charges set forth in these terms of sale. If you have any questions, contact Eliane Talec, ext. 118. Bidding Numbers: All bidders must register and receive a bidding number from the Auction House prior to bidding at the auction. 9. Bidding Increments All unreserved bidding starts at 50% of the low estimate unless there are two or more competing absentee bids in excess of this figure. The auctioneer has the sole and exclusive power, discretion, and authority to regulate the bidding and its increments. Increments • $10 until $100 is reached • $25 until $500 is reached • $50 until $1,000 is reached • $100 until $3,000 is reached • $250 until $5,000 is reached • $500 until $10,000 is reached • $1,000 until $30,000 is reached • $2,500 until $50,000 is reached • $5,000 until $100,000 is reached • $10,000 over $100,000 10. Absentee Bids Absentee bids are requested by no later than 6:00 p.m. on the business day before the auction. We accept absentee bids by phone, by mail, in person, or by fax. Absentee bidders are emailed bid confirmations – If you do not receive a bid confirmation by the afternoon prior to the auction, please call us. When you do receive a bid confirmation, please double check for accuracy. All absentee bidding is handled as though you are in attendance. We buy all designated lots for you one bidding increment above where competition stops. Please check and comply with these increments. In case of failure to comply, we will reduce each off-increment bid to the next lower figure. “Plus” bids: Because of our structured bidding increments, it is more likely that several people will leave identical bids. Since an earlier bid left with the auction house wins in the event of a tie, a later bid with an added “plus” bid to the next increment would win the piece. Absentee bids left with third party online bidding platforms are sent to the auction house as the lot comes up for auction and not before. There is no time advantage to absentee bids left with third party online bidding platforms. All absentee bidder names and bids are held in strictest confidence, disclosed only in the event of a question after the sale. Absentee bidding is a convenience offered to our customers and, while we will make every effort to execute your instructions, the Auction House is not liable or responsible for any errors or failure to do so. If you place absentee bids with the Auction House, then choose to attend in person, bid by phone or any other means, it is solely your responsibility to cancel any or all absentee bids prior to the start of the auction. 11. Telephone Bids Rago guarantees you a line and a phone agent for bidding until 4 PM on the day prior to an auction. After that time, we will gladly accept your absentee bids, even during the auction (up to 30 minutes before a lot goes on the block). Changes to bid lists left with us prior to the deadline will always be accommodated as best we can, as will follow-up phone bids for those who attend/ must leave the auction and other exceptional cases. If you need condition reports, please request and review them prior to reserving phone lines. Telephone bidders are emailed bid confirmations – If you do not receive a bid confirmation by the afternoon prior to the auction, please call us. When you do receive a bid confirmation, please double check for accuracy. We can call you at two phone numbers ONLY during the auction. If you are unsure of where you or your agent will be during the sale, we recommend you leave absentee bids. Please do not change your phone number after your phone lines have been confirmed; if you do, the Auction House will not be responsible for any breakdown in communications. Overseas phone numbers only will be confirmed the day before the auction. We do not have the capacity to assign phone agents to clients who want to listen only or who will not bid the minimum selling price. Therefore, if you bid by phone, you must be willing to open bidding and bid to within 2/3 of the low estimate should the bidding go that far. You may, however, leave absentee bids for any amount. Bids are placed on the telephone at the discretion of the Auction House and at the caller’s risk. Telephone bidding is a convenience offered to our customers and, while we will make every effort to execute your instructions, the Auction House is not liable or responsible for any errors or failure to do so. If you place absentee bids with the Auction House or Live Auctioneers and also bid in person, by phone or any other means, it is solely your responsibility to cancel any or all absentee bids prior to the start of the auction. If you do not or cannot, regardless of reason, you will be held responsible for the property’s purchase. 12. Internet Bids The Auction House has also engaged the services of third party online bidding platforms called Bidsquare and Live Auctioneers. Please proceed to these sites for all necessary information on how to bid and buy online using this system. The user of Bidsquare and/or Live Auctioneers indemnifies and holds the Auction House and its consignors harmless against any claim arising out of or resulting from your use of the Bidsquare and/or Live Auctioneers sites, including all losses, damages, liabilities, and all fees (including attorney’s fees), costs, and expenses incurred in connection with any claim. Under no circumstances, including, but not limited to, negligence, shall the Auction House and its consignors be liable for lost profits or any special, incidental, or consequential damages that result from the use of, or the inability to use, this site. If you place absentee bids with the Auction House and/or a third party site and also bid in person, by phone or any other means, it is solely your responsibility to cancel these absentee bids prior to the start of the auction. If you do not or cannot, regardless of reason, you will be held responsible for the property’s purchase. Absentee bids left with third party online bidding platforms are released to the Auction 35 House when a lot comes up for sale. The Auction House cannot distinguish these from bids made in real time. They have no timed advantage. 13. Condition Reports Condition reports are rendered as specialist opinion by the staff of the Auction House and/or independent consultants and not as statements of fact.

Estimates The estimates provided in this catalogue are our opinion of the price that a willing buyer would pay for the property at auction, based, where possible, on prices paid for comparable items sold in the past. They are neither a representation nor a prediction of the actual selling price that will be realized at auction, post-auction sale, or upon resale, which may be substantially different from these estimates. We shall not be liable in any way for such a difference. 16. Withdrawal of Property from Sale The Auction House reserves the right to withdraw property from the sale for any reason and with no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal. 17. Rescission by Buyer All items are served “As-Is, Where-Is,” except as expressly stated otherwise in Paragraph 7. Buyer acknowledges and expressly agrees that the provisions of this Paragraph state the sole and exclusive remedy available to a buyer in the event of non-conformity in Property purchased. The buyer understands and agrees that the exclusive remedy for any breach of the warranty shall be a rescission of the sale and a refund of the original purchase price (bid plus buyer’s premium), as well as any applicable taxes paid. Neither the Auction House nor its Consignor shall be liable for damages beyond the remedy expressly provided for herein, such as, but not limited to, direct, indirect, special, incidental, punitive, or consequential, including the loss of profit or revenue, cost of obtaining alternative property, claims of customers of the buyer or otherwise. view all updated condition reports | ragoarts.com 18. Rescission by the Auction House In the event the Auction House receives notice of an adverse claim with respect to purchased Property, the Auction House shall have the right (but not the obligation), in its sole and absolute discretion, to rescind the sale to the buyer, upon written notice to the buyer.

The Auction House will then promptly refund the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium and applicable taxes paid.

Limitations of Liability The Auction House acts only as the agent for the consignor and in no event will be liable for any breach or default by the consignor. 21. Severability and Waiver If any provision of portion of these Terms of Sale shall be deemed unlawful, void, or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision or portion shall be stricken and severed from the remaining provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect. Failure to enforce any of the provisions in these Terms of Sale shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to enforce any other provisions of these Terms of Sale. 22. No Assignment Unless the Auction House consents in writing, buyers may not assign their rights or any of their obligations related to an auction or other sale by the Auction House. 23. No Modifications These Terms of Sale may not be changed unless the Auction House and buyer have agreed to do so in a written agreement signed by both parties. 24. Export or Import - Endangered/ Threatened/Prohibited Species The State of New Jersey prohibits the import, sale, purchase, barter, or possession with intent to sell of any ivory, ivory product, rhinoceros horn, or rhinoceros horn product with exceptions that are irrelevant to commercial sale. As used in this act “Ivory” means tooth or tusk from any animal, including, but not limited to an elephant, hippopotamus, mammoth, narwhal, walrus, or whale, or any piece thereof, whether raw ivory or worked ivory, or made into, or part of, an ivory product. As concerns worked products made of species legal to sell under current Federal guidelines, it is the sole responsibility of buyers to familiarize themselves with International and U.S. state laws or requirements for import and export; to identify and obtain any necessary export, import, endangered species or other permit prior to bidding; and to abide by International and U.S. laws and requirements. The Auction House and the Consignor make no representations or warranties as to whether any lot is or is not subject to export or import restrictions or any embargoes and will have no responsibility with regard to these matters. a) International: Several countries do not allow the importation of lots containing materials made from endangered species. This includes, but is not limited to coral and tortoiseshell. An export license may be required for the export of certain materials, as well. b) State of California: California Penal Code sections 653o - 653r make it illegal to import into California for commercial purposes, to possess with intent to sell, or to sell within the state, the dead body, or any part or product thereof, of any polar bear, leopard, ocelot, tiger, cheetah, jaguar, sable antelope, wolf (Canis lupus), zebra, whale, cobra, python, sea turtle, colobus monkey, kangaroo, vicuna, sea otter, free-roaming feral horse, dolphin or porpoise (Delphinidae), Spanish lynx, or elephant. Starting in 2015, it will be unlawful to import into this state for commercial purposes, to possess with intent to sell, or to sell within the state, the dead body, or any part or product thereof, of any crocodile or alligator. Should a buyer in California state an intent to sell the certain animal parts named in California Penal Code sections 653o - 653r, the Auction House reserves the right to reject bids and refuse to ship. Brazilian rosewood (Dalbergia nigra) has been listed in in the most restrictive category of endangered species, CITES Appendix I, since June 11, 1992. Brazilian rosewood demonstrably acquired before June 11, 1992, and any product made from such wood, is considered to be pre-Convention under CITES. The United States currently issues a pre-Convention certificate under CITES for international trade. The E.U. includes Brazilian rosewood in Annex A, which means that pre-Convention specimens generally may not be imported into the E.U. for commercial purposes unless accompanied by an import permit proving acquisition before March 1, 1947. Other nations have their own import requirements. As a result, the Auction House will sell property made from Brazilian rosewood, in whole or part, only to buyers residing in the United States. The Auction House will ship only to addresses in the United States. Inquiries from international buyers prior to sale will be handled on a case-by-case basis. (A list of CITES national contacts can be found at http://www.cites. org/cms/index.php/lang-en/component/cp/.) 25.

Our recommended shippers for small items are Masterpiece Shipping and The Flemington UPS Store. Once we receive your payment and the completed shipping form authorizing the release of your property to the shipper, we will add your lot(s) to the list for the next pick up. You will receive a shipping quote for your approval within 48 hours after the shipper has picked up your lot(s). If for any reason the quote is not acceptable to you, your property will be returned to the auction house so that you can make alternate arrangements.
