In the case of tie bids or any other disputes arising, the auctioneer's decision will be final.

The auctioneer retains the right to act as seller's agent in placing a protective reserve on any lot.

All invoices are payable in Hong Kong dollars. Payment in any other currencies will not be accepted unless prior arrangements have been made, with such payment to include all additional bank charges. All foreign currency personal checks and Eurocheques will not be accepted.

Due to possible mishandling of items by subsequent owners, the Auctioneer reserves the right to describe items differently than shown on certificates from any certification service that accompany the items.
