You are solely responsible for all items to include costs associated with or arising from the sale at our facility. This includes the return shipping costs. This prevents the likelihood of items making it through our auctions that should not be sold and to ensure everyone is following the law. Those who consign and or buy with Auction House 282 are solely responsible for any issues that may arise other than the legal hiring and auctioning of all consigned items. Representation of Genuineness. Explanation: The sale of counterfeit items is against the law. We appreciate everyone being fair and taking responsibility of the items they wish to consign. If items are found by the auctioneer and or their staff as to be "fake" and mistakenly sold as genuine such as fake turquoise, stones, coins, jewelry markings, Autographs etc. and are "good copies" but found to be fake, the consignor should not profit from the sale and the buyer should be able to bid confidently knowing they will be refunded. NOTE: The consignor will only be obligated to give the refund if the item is returned in the condition it was sold. Consignor represents and warrants each item to be genuine. Consignor agrees that any item found to be non-genuine and listed as genuine, within 30 days of shipping label date or the end of sale date for pick-ups, will be returned to the auction house & consignor, and upon the safe return, consignor will pay AH282 the net proceeds of the returned item/s and forfeit and fees earned from the sale. Consignor will be held responsible for the costs of item being tested if results found to be fake. Consignor Understands that any and all items you are consigning are genuine and are to be considered as such at auction. Any sale cancelled due to any items being fake, faux, copies, fraudulent, incorrectly labeled or stamped and hallmarked, and or counterfeit and sold as genuine within 30 days of shipping label date or sale date for pick ups, are to be legally cancelled and all money earned from the sale will be returned to AH282 immediately. If Auction House 282 still has money associated with your auction, it will be deducted from sales earned and voided. AH282 and the auctioneer will still earn their fees from the work involved and sale percentages associated with the auction. Refusal to refund as stated will result in the likeliness and possibility of being pursued in small claims court by AH282 and the Buyer of said counterfeit item/s. The Consignor is the person signing this document who accepts responsibility of all fees arising from court and any legal representation processes resulting in the seeking of refunds or costs associated with the sale of non-authentic items when found in favor of AH282 OR said buyer. Disputes for Fake or Faux items Process explained. The Auction Company/ Auctioneer is the hired agent conducting the auction of CONSIGNED items. By Bidding, you agree that the Auctioneer and the Auction Company will not be liable for ANY dusputes resulting from ( explanations, errors, flaws, damages, authentication, genuiness, accidental or missing information) regarding any items sold at auction in store or online. Any legal or other disputes will be handled between consignors and buyers only. Auction Company and staff are there to assist only. Results from any claim will not affect earnings or fees from services provided by the Auction Company. RETURN PROCESS OF ITEMS CLAIMED AS FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT. There will be a professional testing all items returned. Once tested and results are returned, the results will be provided to the buyer and consignor. No refund will be provided if the item is found as authentic and or found as other than the condition it was sold. This prevents stones and or items being swapped and returned as fake because of buyer's remorse. If found later that an item was returned as fake and was authentic there will not be a refund of the item and or the money paid. If found that items are being swapped and or stolen AH282 WILL PROSECUTE as the law allows. Once an item is received or returned to the possession of Auction House 282, the buyer understands that it may take up to two weeks to get results. If found counterfeit as claimed only then will the buyer be refunded and only when the consignor returns the money to AH282. Auction House 282 is not responsible for paying the refund, the consignor is. If buyer of counterfeit item decides to pursue legal representation to claim their refund, with proper documentation AH282 will have the legal right to provide this and the signing consignors information to the proper authorities. SIMPLY STATED: AUCTION HOUSE 282 is not responsible for paying you back, the consignor is. If the consignor doesn't pay, you have the legal right to pursue them to get your money. We are here only to help and assist in getting your money back just like we are only hired as the agent making the sale at auction. Our documents will be provided for you to use and assist in your getting your money back. DON'TS: Your conduct matters. Using foul language, being disrespectful, or anything other than professional communication and mannerisms will result in immediate banning from our establishment. If found to be too difficult to work with, AH282 reserves the right to back out from interaction and assisting in the process of getting your refund. We will not tolerate unprofessionalism. AH282 is not responsible for lost and or stolen items in the return mail process. The buyer will provide a return shipping label and or all costs associated with returning the item/s and will be refunded only when or if the item is found as non-authentic. Simply claiming an item to be fake or counterfeit does not guarantee a refund. Items to be returned as fakes or counterfeit must be returned in the condition each item as it was sold to receive a refund. For example, testing stones with a hot needle that damages the appearance of a piece of jewelry will not qualify for a refund. Items can only be returned if sold as a genuine item. Faux stones for example are only returnable if claimed as a particular or genuine stone. This is to ensure that items are not being returned out of buyer's remorse. Costume and Silver Jewelry is notorious for using a mixture of authentic and or faux stones and sometimes this is intentional. Some equipment even when highly rated can make mistakes and companies mis-label their silver or gold content. Jewelers we use test for real gold and or silver when returned (as fakes ) and most jewelry is tested on site. If a ring reads differently than marked for example, reads 12k when stamped as 14k, it will be described as such in the listing and sold as is. Example of returnable item Description: Sterling Silver ring with genuine turquoise stone. Description of Non-returnable item. Sterling Silver ring with what appears to be a turquoise or similar type of stone and or faux turquoise colored stone. Explanation: Some items are easily identifiable and come with documentation while others do not. Some jewelry can be made and are very good fakes that even professionals miss from time to time. We do not allow the sale of fake items and do our best to prevent the sale of any fake items. We will do our part, and ask that all involved in the auction process, by this agreement on both ends keep their end of the agreement. If not, all parties have the laws and rights available to use when necessary. Auction House 282 will always assist the buyer when items found to be fake and will provide all signed documents to ensure the best possible chances of said buyers getting money that is rightfully theirs. NOTICE: There will be a trusted professional testing all returned items. Once results are returned, the results will be provided to the buyer and seller, and no refund will be provided unless the item is found to be in original sold condition and results show as faux or a fake . NO REFUNDS FOR BUYERS' REMORSE.
