6. Bidding is only open to those who have registered on the Site for the live auction, and have been authorized to bid by KM Numismatics staff. Bidding is permitted only to parties who can lawfully form contracts and lawfully participate in the auction under applicable laws. Title does not pass until lots are paid in full. Upon receipt of lots, the buyer assumes full responsibility for loss or damage. Delivery to the buyer's address of record constitutes receipt by the buyer regardless of the identity of the person accepting delivery.
7. Estimates and bids are in US dollars ($US), and bids must be in even dollar ($) amounts. KM Numismatics places an estimate and an opening price on each lot. Estimates are intended as a guide only and not as a statement of opinion of value. Ordinarily the opening price is 40-50% of the estimate. KM Numismatics' live auction site software will execute bids on behalf of all bidders up to their maximum limit. Subject to the opening prices, bids will be executed at one bidding increment over the next highest bid. In the case of identical bids, the earliest bid wins. Once a bid is placed it may only be cancelled by KM Numismatics staff. Bidders are responsible for errors in bidding.
8. Shipping charge will be added to the invoice according to the location of the buyer, shipping method as well as value of the item so that the buyers receive their items securely without any issues. KM Numismatics will try it’s best to accommodate all shipping requests in the best possible way. It will be buyer’s responsibility if any duties/taxes are levied at port of entry at buyer’s country.
9. Bidders hereby waive any claim for incidental, consequential or exemplary damages arising from this auction. The sole remedy that any participant in the auction shall have for any claim or controversy arising out of the auction shall be a refund, without interest, of all or part of the purchase price paid by the participant.
