Easton World Traveler Jewelry Collection Auction ~ Shipping Only

This is a wonderful interesting and eclectic jewelry auction filled with tribal jewelry including some African and Middle Eastern pieces, sterling silver and other costume pieces. There are some select small items also included. These pieces are part of the collections from our project at Easton, PA. This is a shipping only auction. Unmarked silver jewelry is acid tested by GoldenTree as a general indication of silver content. Acid testing is not a laboratory analysis and does not guarantee the exact purity, fineness, or composition of an item. Silver content may vary throughout an item. Please read our auction terms and ask any questions prior to bidding. SHIPPING: Shipping will be USPS flat rate priority. There is a $5 handling fee added to each invoice regardless of how many items are on the invoice. Shipping costs will be charged to your credit card on file when your items are shipped. TERMS: ONLINE AUCTION TERMS & CONDITIONS **GoldenTree Team LLC** By registering for an auction, placing a bid, or otherwise participating in an auction conducted by GoldenTree Team LLC (“GoldenTree,” “Auction Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), each bidder (“Bidder” or “Buyer”) acknowledges that they have read, understood, and voluntarily agree to be legally bound by these Terms & Conditions, together with any additional terms, notices, pickup instructions, or conditions posted for the individual auction or lot. **DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE READ AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS.** 1. BIDS ARE LEGALLY BINDING Placing a bid constitutes a serious and legally binding commitment to purchase the item if the Bidder is declared the successful/high bidder. Bidders are responsible for all bids placed through their accounts. A Bidder may not cancel, retract, or reduce a bid merely because the Bidder changed their mind, made an error, failed to inspect an item, misunderstood the description, or failed to account for applicable premiums, taxes, pickup requirements, or other charges, except where withdrawal is expressly permitted by applicable law, the auction platform, or GoldenTree. Once a Bidder is declared the successful purchaser of a lot, the resulting purchase obligation is binding. Failure to complete a purchase may result in suspension or termination of bidding privileges, collection activity, recovery of damages or expenses, and any other remedies available to GoldenTree or the Seller. 2. AGREEMENT TO TERMS By clicking or selecting “Bid,” “Place Bid,” “Confirm Bid,” or any similar function on the auction platform, the Bidder represents that: * The Bidder has reviewed and accepts these Terms & Conditions. * The Bidder is legally capable of entering into a binding contract. * The Bidder is responsible for all activity conducted through their bidding account. * The Bidder has reviewed the applicable lot description, photographs, pickup information, buyer’s premium, and other auction-specific information before bidding. * The Bidder understands that bids may result in a legally enforceable purchase obligation. The Bidder's failure to actually read these Terms does not relieve the Bidder of their obligations after agreeing to them and participating in the auction, to the extent permitted by law. 3. ALL PROPERTY SOLD “AS IS, WHERE IS” All merchandise is sold **AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS**, without warranties or guarantees except as expressly stated in writing by GoldenTree. Items offered through estate auctions are generally previously owned and may exhibit age, wear, damage, repairs, alterations, missing components, odors, staining, fading, deterioration, restoration, or other conditions consistent with their age and prior use. Unless expressly stated otherwise, GoldenTree makes no warranty or representation concerning: * Condition * Quality * Merchantability * Fitness for a particular purpose * Age or date * Manufacturer or maker * Origin or provenance * Authenticity * Attribution * Completeness * Working condition * Materials or metal content * Gemstone identity or quality * Measurements or weight * Rarity * Value or future value Any descriptions, photographs, measurements, opinions, dates, attributions, or other information are provided as a convenience to bidders and represent GoldenTree's good-faith assessment based on available information. 4. BIDDER INSPECTION & DUE DILIGENCE It is the Bidder's responsibility to evaluate an item before bidding. Bidders should carefully review all photographs, descriptions, condition information, measurements, and other available information and request additional information when necessary before placing a bid. Where an in-person preview is offered, bidders are encouraged to inspect items personally or through a qualified representative. The absence of a reference to damage, restoration, alteration, defects, missing pieces, or other condition issues does not mean that such conditions do not exist. A Bidder's inability or failure to inspect an item does not constitute grounds for cancellation, refund, return, or chargeback. 5. PHOTOGRAPHS & DESCRIPTIONS Photographs form part of the lot description and should be reviewed carefully. Colors, dimensions, proportions, and appearance may vary due to lighting, photography, monitor settings, camera equipment, perspective, or other factors. Measurements, dimensions, weights, dates, materials, and other specifications are approximate unless specifically represented otherwise. GoldenTree makes reasonable efforts to provide accurate descriptions but does not guarantee that descriptions or photographs are free from errors or omissions. GoldenTree reserves the right to correct descriptions, photographs, catalog information, or other errors prior to the closing of a lot. 6. AUTHENTICITY, ATTRIBUTION & MAKER IDENTIFICATION Unless expressly accompanied by a written guarantee from a qualified third-party authenticator, references to an artist, designer, maker, manufacturer, period, style, origin, material, or attribution should be considered GoldenTree's good-faith opinion based upon available information and not an expert authentication or warranty. Signatures, marks, labels, stamps, certificates, boxes, paperwork, or other identifying information may be photographed or described but are not independently guaranteed unless expressly stated. Bidders purchasing high-value art, jewelry, collectibles, designer merchandise, antiques, or other items where authenticity is material to their purchasing decision should perform their own independent research and due diligence before bidding. 7. PRECIOUS METALS & JEWELRY Marked precious-metal items may be described according to the visible hallmark or stamp. GoldenTree does not guarantee that a hallmark is authentic or that every component of an item has the same metal content. Unmarked silver or other precious-metal jewelry may occasionally be acid tested as a general indication of metal content. Acid testing is not laboratory analysis and does not guarantee exact purity, fineness, or composition. Metal content may vary throughout an item, and components such as clasps, findings, pins, solder, chains, settings, or replacement parts may contain different metals or levels of purity. Unless expressly accompanied by professional documentation, gemstones, diamonds, precious metals, weights, treatments, grades, and related descriptions should be considered approximate and are not guaranteed. 8. BUYER'S PREMIUM, TAXES & FEES A buyer's premium may be added to the winning bid amount. The applicable buyer's premium will be disclosed through the auction listing or auction platform. Applicable sales tax, shipping charges, handling charges, credit-card fees where legally permitted, or other disclosed charges may also apply. Bidders are responsible for reviewing the total applicable fees before bidding. Tax-exempt purchasers must provide valid exemption documentation in accordance with applicable requirements before the applicable transaction is processed. 9. PAYMENT Successful bidders are responsible for full and timely payment of all purchases, premiums, taxes, and applicable fees. GoldenTree and/or the auction platform may charge the payment method associated with the Bidder's account in accordance with the auction-specific terms and platform rules. A declined card, expired card, insufficient funds, payment dispute, or other payment problem does not cancel the Buyer's purchase obligation. GoldenTree reserves the right to require an alternate form of payment, certified funds, wire transfer, identification, or additional verification for any transaction when reasonably necessary. Items may be withheld until payment has cleared. 10. CREDIT CARD DISPUTES & CHARGEBACKS Buyers agree to contact GoldenTree promptly regarding a disputed transaction before initiating a payment dispute or chargeback whenever reasonably possible. A chargeback or payment dispute does not automatically cancel the Buyer's contractual obligation to pay for merchandise validly purchased. If a Buyer initiates a chargeback concerning a valid auction purchase, GoldenTree may provide the payment processor, financial institution, auction platform, or other applicable party with bidding records, acceptance of these Terms, invoices, photographs, pickup or shipping records, correspondence, and other documentation relevant to the transaction. Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive any non-waivable rights a consumer may have under applicable law. 11. AUCTION CLOSING & EXTENDED BIDDING Online auctions may utilize staggered closing, soft closing, extended bidding, or other automated closing procedures. If a bid is received within a designated period before a lot is scheduled to close, the bidding period may automatically extend in accordance with the rules of the auction platform.
