Photographs are considered an integral part of the description with regard to all visible attributes such as margins, postmarks, centering and perforation. 4. All lots described in the auction may be examined as indicated in the catalog.

In case of dispute, HA Harmers Auctions SA has the right to cancel the sale and to reauction the lot(s). 6. Every bid must be higher than the previous one by a margin of 5%.
