Merchandise Descriptions: ALL LOTS ARE SOLD "AS IS" AND WITH ALL FAULTS. PURCHASER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS CONCERNING AND RELATED TO THE GRADING, QUALITY, DESCRIPTION, CONDITION, AUTHENTICITY, AND PROVENANCE OF A LOT. Weight, size, estimated value, origin, quality, age, condition, rarity, and importance, are not guaranteed for any item. Oral statements made by representatives of U.S. PAS shall not convey a warranty of any kind, implied or expressed, with respect to any of the above-mentioned characteristics. U.S. PAS provides a limited guarantee on auction item listing descriptions as described below: Guarantee of gem stone categorical description (i.e.- a diamond is guaranteed to be a diamond). Guarantee of gold karat description (i.e. 14K, 18K,…). Guarantee of watch make. Watches may be pre-owned and it is assumed that watches have after-market accessories which are not of the same make, such as diamond dials, bezels, or bands, unless otherwise stated. U.S. PAS guarantees hand signatures of artists, athletes, and other notables, to be authentic. Gold and silver coins are guaranteed to be genuine.

Bidding Process: Registered users may place bids on any of the items up for auction on the Website.

U.S. PAS shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to adjudicate all bidding disputes and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to rescind the acceptance of any bid and re-auction the item.
