or restoration of any Property.

The auctioneer has the right to reject

reject the same and withdraw the
Property from sale.
8
Upon the fall of the hammer,
title to any offered lot or article
will immediately pass to the
highest bidder as determined in
the exclusive discretion of the
auctioneer, subject to compliance
by the buyer with these Conditions
of Sale. Buyer thereupon assumes
full risk and responsibility of the
property sold, agrees to sign any
requested confirmation of purchase,
and agrees to pay the full price, plus
Buyer’s Premium, therefore or such
part, upon such terms as Freeman’s
may require.
9
No lot may be removed from
Freeman’s premises until the buyer
has paid in full the purchase price
therefor including Buyer’s Premium
or has satisfied such terms that
Freeman’s, in its sole discretion,
shall require. Subject to the
foregoing, all Property shall be paid
for and removed by the buyer at
his/her expense within ten (10)

as a bidder or buyer in any future
sale or sales. In addition to other
remedies available to Freeman’s by

impose a late charge of 1.5% per
month of the total purchase price on
any balance remaining ten (10) days
after the day of sale. If Property is

month from the tenth day after the
sale until removal by the buyer shall
be payable to Freeman’s by the
buyer; Freeman’s shall charge 1.5%

month for any property not so

any goods left in Freeman’s
possession after ten (10) days. If the
foregoing conditions or any
applicable provisions of law are not
complied with, in addition to other
remedies available to Freeman’s and
the Consignor (including without
limitation the right to hold the
buyer(s) liable for the bid price)
Freeman’s, at its option, may either
cancel the sale, retaining as
liquidated damages all payments
made by the buyer(s), or resell the
property. In such event, the buyer(s)
shall remain liable for any deficiency
in the original purchase price and
will also be responsible for all costs,
including warehousing, the expense
of the ultimate sale, and Freeman’s
commission at its regular rates
together with all related and
incidental charges, including legal
fees. Payment is a precondition to
removal. Payment shall be by cash,
certified check or similar bank draft,
or any other method approved by
Freeman’s. Checks will not be
deemed to constitute payment until
cleared. Any exceptions must be
made upon Freeman’s written
approval of credit prior to sale. In
addition, a defaulting buyer will be
deemed to have granted and
assigned to Freeman’s, a continuing
security interest of first priority in
any property or money of, or owing
to such buyer in Freeman’s
possession, and Freeman’s may
retain and apply such property or
money as collateral security for the
obligations due to Freeman’s.
Freeman’s shall have all of the rights
accorded a secured party under the
Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial
Code.
10
Unless the sale is advertised and
announced as “without reserve”,
each lot is offered subject to
a reserve and Freeman’s may
implement such reserves by
bidding through its representatives
on behalf of the Consignors. In
certain instances, the Consignor
may pay less than the standard
commission rate where Freeman’s
or its representative is a successful
bidder on behalf of the Consignor.
Where the Consignor is indebted to
Freeman’s, Freeman’s may have an
interest in the offered lots and the
proceeds therefrom, other than the
broker’s Commissions, and all sales
are subject to any such interest.
11
No “buy” bids shall be accepted at
any time for any purpose.
12
Any pre-sale bids must be submitted
in writing to Freeman’s prior to
commencement of the offer of the
first lot of any sale. Freeman’s copy
of any such bid shall conclusively be
deemed to be the sole evidence of
same, and while Freeman’s accepts
these bids for the convenience of
bidders not present at the auction,
Freeman’s shall not be responsible
for the failure to execute, or, to
execute properly, any pre-sale bid.
13
A Buyer’s Premium will be added
to the successful bid price and is
payable by the buyer as part of the
total purchase price. The Buyer’s
Premium shall be: 25% on the first
$100,000 of the hammer price of
each lot, 20% on the portion from
$100,001 through $2,000,000, and
12% thereafter.
14

the payment thereof, the buyer
will be required to pay any and all
federal excise tax and any state
and/or local sales taxes, including
where deliveries are to be made
outside the state where a sale is
conducted, which may be subject to
a corresponding or compensating
tax in another state.
15
Freeman’s may, as a service to
buyer, arrange to have purchased
property posted and shipped at the
buyer’s expense. Freeman’s is not
responsible for any acts or omissions
in packing or shipping of purchased
lots whether or not such carrier
is recommended by Freeman’s.
Packing and handling of purchased
lots is at the responsibility of the
buyer and is at the entire risk of the
buyer.
16
In no event shall any liability of
Freeman’s to the buyer exceed the
purchase price actually paid.
17
No claimed modification or
amendment of this Agreement
on the part of any party shall be
deemed extant, enforceable or
provable unless it is in writing that
has been signed by the parties
to this Agreement. No course of
dealing and no delay or omission on
the part of Freeman’s in exercising
any right under this Agreement shall
operate as a waiver of such right or
any other right and waiver on any
one or more occasions shall not be
construed as a bar to or waiver of
any right or remedy of Freeman’s on
any future occasion.
18
These Conditions of Sale and
the buyer’s, the Consignor’s and
Freeman’s rights under these
Conditions of Sale shall be governed
by, construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
and Consignor and Buyer agree
