These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you and Davis Brothers that govern your use of the Services. By accessing the website davisbrothersauction.com ("Website") and using the Services, whether on the Website or on a third-party platform, you confirm that you are in agreement with and bound by the terms of service contained in the Terms outlined below and that you will comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, and regulations regarding your use of the Website and Services. The Terms apply to the entire Website and any email or other type of communication between you and Davis Brothers. In these Terms, "you" refers both to you as an individual and to the entity you represent, if any.

Modifications

Davis Brothers may modify the Services or these Terms at any time. When we make material changes to these Terms, we will post the revised Terms on the Website and update the "Last Updated" date at the top of these Terms. Your continued access to or use of the Site will constitute acceptance of the revised Terms. We also maintain other terms and policies that supplement these Terms, which may be updated from time to time.

Eligibility

The Services are intended solely for persons who are 18 or older. Any use of the Services by anyone that does not meet this age requirement is expressly prohibited.

Auction items are sold "as is" with no returns or exchanges

Auction items are sold on an AS IS BASIS, WHERE IS, and WITH ALL FAULTS. Davis Brothers will make every effort and put forth due diligence to attempt to properly describe and represent items, however all items are sold on a buyer discretionary basis. Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of auction items. All statements and descriptions of items by Davis Brothers are statements of opinion and are not to be relied upon as statements of fact. Davis Brothers is not responsible in any way for errors or omissions in the descriptions of items. Once a lot has been purchased, there are no returns or exchanges of any kind.

DAVIS BROTHERS MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION WHATSOEVER OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WITH RESPECT TO AUCTION ITEMS, INCLUDING ANY (a) WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY; (b) WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; OR (c) ACCURACY OF THE CATALOGUE OR OTHER DESCRIPTION OF THE PHYSICAL CONDITION, SIZE, QUALITY, RARITY, IMPORTANCE, MEDIUM, MATERIAL, GENUINENESS, ATTRIBUTION, PROVENANCE, PERIOD, CULTURE, SOURCE, ORIGIN, EXHIBITIONS, DBA, LITERATURE, OR HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF ANY AUCTION ITEM. NO ITEMS SOLD BY DAVIS BROTHERS ARE INTENDED OR WARRANTED FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.

It is your responsibility, not Davis Brothers's responsibility, to know what you can legally purchase in your place of residence. If you purchase an item that is illegal in your place of residence, Davis Brothers has the right to cancel your order, with no refund to you, and assess a $1,000 fee to your invoice post-sale that will be automatically processed through your credit card. Davis Brothers is not liable for your violation of applicable law for obtaining illegal items in your place of residence.

Bids

Davis Brothers reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to refuse admission to any auction (whether online or on-site) and to reject any bid, as well as the right to refuse to acknowledge any bidder, at any time. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the buyer of the auction item(s). Bidders cannot revoke or cancel a bid for any reason. If the highest bidder is rejected for any reason, the underbidder must adhere to their bid and shall be responsible for completing the transaction as contemplated by its bid. As an auctioneer, Davis Brothers reserves the right to place bids on behalf of the seller in consecutive fashion up to a reserve or preset price in sale with or without reserve.

Unless otherwise announced at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue. Davis Brothers reserves the right to reject a bid from any bidder. The highest bid acknowledged by the Auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders, the Auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder, or to re-offer and re-sell the article in dispute. If the Auctioneer determines that any opening bid is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, they may reject the bid; and if, having acknowledged an opening bid they decide that any advance is not sufficient, they may reject the advance. The Auctioneer reserves the right to acknowledge an auction floor bid before acknowledging an internet and/or phone bid regardless of the maximum bid amount provided by the bidder before and/or during the auction.

Payment

When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price. Payment in full is required within 7 business days upon the completion of the catalog sale. Davis Brothers Auction reserves the right to cancel any invoice for any reason. If payment is not received, Davis Brothers Auctions reserves the right to cancel or void any unpaid transaction and/or charge storage fees associated with unpaid transactions.
