If the description of any lot in the catalog is materially incorrect, the lot is returnable if returned within five (5) calendar days of receipt and received by the Auction house no later than 15 calendar days after the sale date.
5. The Auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bids. The highest bidder acknowledged by the Auctioneer shall be the Buyer. In the event of any dispute between bidders, the Auctioneer will have the absolute and final discretion to either determine the successful bidder or reoffer and resell the property item in dispute.
