The Buyer specifically agrees and acknowledges that the use of the term "tested" as used to describe articles of jewelry means only that the Auctioneer believes that the article described has been tested as to the gold or silver content of the article described, but the Auctioneer makes no warranty that the gold or silver content is as described. Likewise, the description of an article as a diamond or other gem or the description of an article as being of a particular brand does not constitute any representation or warranty that the article is as described. The Buyer hereby agrees to rely solely on his/her own expertise to determine the value of any item purchased rather than the description of any article contained in the catalog or announced by the Auctioneer.   The Buyer agrees that any item successfully bid upon will be paid for by the Buyer immediately following the conclusion of the auction and before departing the auction premises by delivery of cash or a check drawn on an account containing sufficient immediately available funds. To the extent that the bidder is an individual acting on behalf of a corporation registered as the bidder, the individual bidder shall be jointly and severally liable with the corporation for payment of the purchase price. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that no "stop payment" order shall be issued or honored. The Buyer further agrees that a stop payment order or a check returned marked "insufficient funds" shall be considered prima-facie evidence of intent on the part of the buyer to defraud the Auctioneer at the time of delivery of the check.   The Buyer agrees that the act of submitting a bid shall constitute acceptance of each and every term and condition contained herein and of any additional terms and conditions which may be posted at the auction or which may be announced by the Auctioneer. The Buyer agrees that in any dispute between the Seller and the Buyer or between competing bidders arising in connection with any sale at the auction, the Auctioneer shall have the right but not the obligation to settle such dispute, and the Buyer shall abide by the decision of the Auctioneer, whose decision shall be final with respect to such matter. The Buyer further agrees to indemnify the Auctioneer for all liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses including attorney’s fees incurred in connection with any such dispute or in connection with any claim, litigation, controversy, dispute or proceeding arising from any purchase of an article by the Buyer or from any subsequent sale of such article to any third party. Upon payment of any amount to Seller, the Auctioneer or its assigns shall be subjugated to all of the Seller's rights of recovery.
