4. The Sale.
Once placed, a purchase may not be canceled or revoked by the buyer. All sales are final unless noted in object description. By making a purchase, the buyer irrevocably agrees to pay the Total Purchase Price offered by the seller. The “Total Purchase Price” is the total item price on the Site and includes (i) the listed price of the item (the “Purchase Price”) and (ii) sales tax, use tax, VAT, Internet sales tax and/or any other taxes or levies that the seller or Collectionof: is required to collect from the buyer under applicable law at the time of sale.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event(s) of an error by seller as to availability of the item or an error by Collectionof: as to acceptance of the buyer’s purchase or any other error with respect to a sale confirmation, Collectionof: reserves the right to rescind that sale confirmation.

The seller is obligated to ship the order or otherwise complete the transaction with the buyer in a prompt manner, unless there is an exceptional circumstance, such as: (a) the buyer fails to meet the terms of the seller's listing (such as payment method), or (b) the seller cannot authenticate the buyer's identity. The buyer is obligated to deliver appropriate payment for items purchased, unless there is an exceptional circumstance.

5. Credit Card and Third Party Online Payment Provider Authorization.
Upon sale confirmation, the buyer hereby irrevocably authorizes Collectionof: to (i) use the credit card or Third Party Online Payment Provider information given to Collectionof: by the buyer when making the purchase equal to the Total Purchase Price of the item.

If for any reason after sale confirmation, buyer cancels a payment made by credit card or any other means or the buyer otherwise fails to make any payment(s) with respect to the Total Purchase Price without first receiving written approval from Collectionof: (“buyer Default”), the buyer shall be liable for payment of the full Purchase Price and any costs related to the sale of the item including but not limited to taxes, storage and handling fees if applicable and any costs incurred by Collectionof: associated with collecting any amount due to Collectionof: including but not limited to legal fees and costs related to currency fluctuations. Without limitation to the preceding sentence and in addition to any other remedies at law or equity, in the event of buyer Default, Collectionof: reserves the right, at its election, to retain any and all payments paid by buyer prior to buyer Default with respect to the item and to cancel the sale of the item without any further obligation to buyer. The buyer and Collectionof: acknowledge and agree that damages to Collectionof: in the event of buyer Default will be difficult or impossible to prove and that the amount already charged as reasonable compensation to Collectionof: for damages suffered and constitutes liquidated damages and not a penalty.

6. Completion of Collectionof: Responsibility.
Once an item has been collected from the seller, either by the buyer, or on behalf of the buyer, the item is deemed delivered and Collectionof: has completed its service and earned its fee for the transaction, and Collectionof: shall have no further responsibility to buyer including but not limited to the item’s location.

7. ransfer of Title; Risk of Loss.
The seller of each item sold on the Site has represented to Collectionof: that the seller will convey title of each item to the buyer upon receipt by the seller or his/her agent of their sales price for the item.

Risk of loss to each item will pass to the buyer upon conveyance of title to the buyer.

8. Shipping.
Collectionof: is not obligated to but may offer to assist the shipping process, including facilitating information between buyer and shipper as well as managing and monitoring shipping status on behalf of the buyer.

9. Taxes and Import/Export Duties; Legal Compliance.
The buyer is entirely responsible for paying all sales and use taxes, VAT, export and/or import taxes and duties and all transactional taxes or levies related to the purchase of each item purchased (collectively, “Taxes”). The buyer shall pay the seller such Taxes as the seller is required to collect, but failure of the seller to collect the Taxes will not relieve the buyer’s obligation. It is the buyer’s responsibility to establish and/or document any applicable exemption from Taxes. The buyer must determine, pay, collect, remit and report to the appropriate taxing authority the correct amount of all export and/or import taxes or duties payable upon export of the item from its country of origin and import into the United States or any other country.

You shall comply with all applicable domestic and international laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations regarding your use of the Site and any Collectionof: service and, if applicable, your listing, purchase, solicitation of offers to purchase, and sale of items.

Some of the items sold on the Site may require cultural, customs and endangered species permits for export from the country where they are located and import into the buyer’s country. Items may also be subject to a right of the country from which they are exported to purchase the items from the buyer, sometimes called a “right of preemption”. Neither the seller nor Collectionof: makes any representation, gives any warranty or shall have any liability to the buyer in respect of the requirement for, or the availability, or issuance of valid export or import permits or the existence or exercise of preemption rights to purchase by governmental or regulatory authorities anywhere.

Neither the seller nor Collectionof: makes any guarantee, warranty or representation, expressed or implied, to any buyer with respect to any item, including without limitation, its condition, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, designer or creator, exhibitions, literature, historical relevance or otherwise. No statement anywhere, whether oral or written, shall be deemed any such guarantee, warranty or representation.
