3. Buyer’s obligation to inspect each item: Buyers are strongly encouraged to view all items auctioned on display before the auction to determine the true condition and nature of any item(s) of interest. Although there is no legal requirement that each buyer inspect lots purchased before
the auction, the failure to inspect may constitute a waiver of that buyer’s complaint that the item was not delivered in a condition equal to the
existent condition at the auction as described in section 14 of these Conditions of Sale.
4. All Sales Final: Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, any and all refunds shall be given at the sole discretion of JMA. Refunds
requested on the grounds of authenticity must be made within 10 days of the auction date, and such requests must be accompanied by at least one

curated, organized or substantially contributed to a solo exhibition on the artist, a person who has represented the artists estate or someone who
represented or worked closely with the artist while they were alive and, in any of the above instances physically handled works of the period, medium and subject matter in question during the course of their duties. Please note that dealers who advertise to buy a wide range of artists, appraisers
and representatives of other auction firms do not qualify as authenticators of individual artists unless they have had such specific involvement with
an artists work as specified above in addition to their daily duties. Any lot in question must be returned to JMA in the exact same condition as

The estimates provided by JMA concerning a given lot, are carefully considered opinions of the cataloguer and fine art staff. Any estimates given

the subjective interests of collectors and a wide variety of other uncontrollable factors. The lots auctioned may sell at prices either above or below
estimates.
