3. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it had the right to make a full inspection of all Property prior to sale to determine, for example, its condition, size, repair and/or restoration. Descriptions are believed to be accurate but not guaranteed. Buyers should bid accordingly if they are uncertain of the condition or use of an item. Statements by Hoch LTD. regarding the condition of items are for guidance only and should not be relied upon as statements of fact, and do not constitute a representation or assumption of liability by Hoch LTD.

6. Hoch LTD., in its sole discretion, reserves the right to withdraw any Property at any time before the fall of the hammer.

8. Unless otherwise announced by the Auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue. Hoch LTD. reserves the right to determine all matters regarding the order, precedence or appropriate increment of bids, or the constitution of lots.
9. Hoch LTD. uses the services of third-party auction platforms for online bidding. Please refer to the third-party auction platform website for how to register and bid online. The buyer is responsible for all online bidding. Hoch LTD. cannot place bids for the buyer, and the buyer can only bid by registering and bidding through the third-party auction platform. The buyer acknowledges and agrees that Hoch Ltd. and its Auctioneer shall not be held responsible for any human or technical bidding errors, or internet bidding system errors or shutdowns that may occur.
10. The Auction is open for pre-bidding until the start of the auction.

At his sole and absolute discretion, the Auctioneer has the right: (a) to reject any bid; (b) to accept any bid; and (c) in the event of any dispute between bidders, either to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after sale, the Auctioneer's and Clerk's records shall be considered conclusive with respect to the winning bidder.
12. The applicable buyer's premium is applied per auction. The hammer price, buyer's premium and sales tax (where applicable) shall be added together to reach the total purchase price for a lot.

14. Hoch LTD. works with third-party shippers to have the purchased Property shipped at the buyer's expense. It is buyer's responsibility to make shipping arrangements, including direct payment to the shipper, and to advise Hoch LTD. of those arrangements by e-mail addressed to [email protected] so that Hoch Ltd. has permission to release the Property. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Hoch LTD. is not responsible for any acts or omissions in packing or shipping of purchased lots by the third-party carrier, whether or not such carrier is recommended by Hoch LTD.; (b) packing and handling of purchased lots by a third-party carrier is at the sole risk of the buyer: and (c) Hoch LTD. is not responsible for any damage or loss to the Property that occurs in connection with the Buyer's use of a third-party shipper.

17. The delay or failure on the part of Hoch LTD. to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement shall not be considered a waiver thereof or deprive Hoch LTD. of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.
18. This Agreement, including the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
