BUYER'S RESPONSIBILITIES: You, as a prospective Buyer, are responsible for personally examining or otherwise ensuring your own satisfaction with all lots in which you have an interest prior to bidding. By placing a bid, you signify that you have examined, or have otherwise ensured your own satisfaction with the lot as fully as you desire; or that you have waived your right to an inspection and have chosen not to examine, or otherwise ensure your satisfaction. If you require absolute certainty in all areas of authenticity, condition, etc., and the results of your examination and/or other investigation leave uncertainty in your mind, Epic Auctions and Estate Sales, LLC recommends you engage an independent expert to examine the lot for you prior to bidding or refrain from bidding on that lot. THE AUCTIONEER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ERRORS OF THE PURCHASER INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE PURCHASER BIDDING ON THE WRONG LOT. 4. CATALOG AND DESCRIPTIONS: All statements made by Epic Auctions and Estate Sales, LLC in the catalog description or condition reports, orally, or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied upon as statements of fact. Epic Auctions and Estate Sales, LLC attempts to catalog and photograph every lot accurately and will attempt to point out all obvious defects but will not be held responsible or liable for the correctness of the catalog, other descriptions, or any visual depictions of any lot. Sizes and weights are approximate. The absence of any reference to the condition, and/or the Buyer's inability to see every detail of a lot in the catalog and photographs, does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied upon as a statement of value for which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose. Neither Epic Auctions and Estate Sales, LLC nor the Seller are responsible for any errors or omissions in the catalog or any other supplemental material. 5. GUARANTEE: All property offered for sale is as is, where is. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS AND NO EXCHANGES. Epic Auctions and Estate Sale, LLC does not guarantee or make any warranties, either written or implied, on any lot sold. Descriptions in the catalog are an opinion. They are written as an aid to potential bidders. Epic Auctions and Estate Sales, LLC acknowledges that there may be errors in what is written. It is recommended that you personally view any item you bid on or have an acknowledged expert view the item prior to bidding. Statements regarding condition are opinions, not statements of fact or guarantees. Items offered for sale as described in the catalog or any bill of sale, advertisement, addendum sheet, or elsewhere as to authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, exhibition, or physical condition are qualified statements of opinion and not representations or warranties. No employee of Epic Auctions and Estate Sales, LLC or any person purporting to act on their behalf is authorized to make any representation or warranty, either oral or written, with respect to any lot or item for sale. 6. RESERVE: Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Epic Auctions and Estate Sales, LLC. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Items with a reserve may or may not be notated in the online auction at the auctioneer's discretion. 7. AUCTIONEER RECOGNITION OF BIDS: During the course of the auction, the auctioneer may accept bids from live audience bidders, online bidders, absentee bidders, or telephone bidders. The auctioneer reserves the right to advance bids in whatever increment they feel is in the best interest of the seller. If the auctioneer accepts a bid from another bidder that equals the maximum bid offered by an online bidder, whichever bidder the auctioneer recognized will win the bid regardless of when the bids were submitted. This auction permits bids to be placed by the auctioneer, an employee of the auctioneer, the seller, or an agent of the seller and is permitted to do this by providing this disclosure to you, the bidder. 8. ABSENTEE BIDS: We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid. Absentee bids will be subject to the same Buyer's Premium as online bidders. 9. TELEPHONE BIDS: On lots with a low estimate of $500 and above, and if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale, we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding. These telephone bids may be recorded at the discretion of Epic Auctions and Estate Sales, LLC. Telephone bids will be subject to the same Buyer's Premium as online bidders. 10. TECHNOLOGY ISSUES: If, after a lot has closed, there is determined to have been a software malfunction, internet service problem, or miscommunication between online bidding platform operators, we may reopen any lots or all auction lots for further bidding. If during the auction, a major outage occurs, Epic Auctions and Estate Sales, LLC may decide to reopen the entire auction and extend the closing to a future date. In this instance, lots that were "closed" will be reopened for further bidding. However, if there are no internet outages, service interruptions, or computer software issues, only then will we consider "closed" to mean "sold". 11. WITHDRAWAL: Epic Auctions and Estate Sales, LLC reserves the right to withdraw any property from the auction prior to the completion of the auction sale for any reason. 12. PROTESTS & DISPUTES: Epic Auctions and Estate Sales, LLC reserves the right to reject any bid from any bidder that is not in the best interest of the Seller. The highest bidder, acknowledged by the Auctioneer, will be the purchaser regardless of any notification provided by an online bidding platform. The Auctioneer shall have sole and final discretion as to the disposition of any dispute including the re-offer and resale of any article in dispute. Epic Auctions and Estate Sales, LLC records will be deemed conclusive in all respects in the event there is any dispute after the sale. 13. BUYER'S PREMIUM AND SALES TAX: All bid prices will be subject to a buyer's premium of 20% payable by the purchaser. This premium is added to the purchaser's successful bid amount. 6 % MI sales tax, as required by law, will be levied to the combined bid price plus the buyer's premium and the three together equal the total sale price. Sales tax for non-Michigan buyers may be charged their local sales tax amount and collected by the bidding platform or the auction company to be remitted to the buyer's tax jurisdiction. Michigan bidders with resale licenses who bid via HiBid must send us a completed Form 3372 BEFORE the auction. Bidders on any other online platform must upload their documentation to their bidder account prior to the auction. We do not refund sales tax once the credit card is processed for your purchase. 14.

If Epic Auctions and Estate Sales, LLC does not receive payment in full, in good cleared funds, by 5pm on the 2nd day after the auction, Epic Auctions and Estate Sales, LLC reserves the right to exercise one or more of the following measures, in addition to actions allowed by law: (a) to impose a late charge of one and a half percent (1.5%) per thirty (30) days of the total purchase price; (b) to hold the defaulting Buyer liable for the total amount due and to begin legal proceedings for its recovery together with interest, legal fees, and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law; (c) to cancel the sale; (d) to resell the property publicly or privately with such terms as Epic Auctions and Estate Sales, LLC finds appropriate and hold the Buyer liable for any deficiency, cost, including handling charges, the expenses of both sales, Epic Auctions and Estate Sales, LLC's commission on both sales, all other charges due hereunder, and incidental damages; (e) to block the Buyer from participation in future auctions; (f) to take other measures Epic Auctions and Estate Sales, LLC deems fit.

PACKING and SHIPPING: We handle the shipping of most small or medium sized items in-house. All shipments require insurance and signature confirmation. We do not ship items without insurance coverage for the final invoiced sales price of the item(s) including Buyer's Premium. We do not accept 3rd party shipping labels. Epic charges $60/hour for packing labor, the cost of shipping supplies (new boxes, bubble wrap, paper, and packing peanuts), and the retail cost of shipping. We are unable to provide shipping estimates. Once we pack items for shipment, the items will not be released until payment is made in full for all packing and shipping charges and fees. This is required by our insurance provider. We do not provide refunds to buyers due to the cost of shipping being too high. Epic is not responsible for loss or damage to international shipments. International buyers assume all risk of loss and damage. Not all international services provide tracking or insurance to all countries. Buyer beware. All shipping claims must be submitted within 3 BUSINESS DAYS after delivery.
