6. Bidders duty to inspect the Lot(s)
6.1 Our knowledge of the Lot(s) is dependent on the information provided by the Vendor; whilst we do seek to describe Lots accurately we are not able to carry out exhaustive due diligence of each and every Lot that we list. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect Lots before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description of a lot. Due to the nature of the Lot(s) sold, due to their age, they are likely to show signs of wear and tear, other imperfections, damage, restoration or repair. To assist you, when inspecting Lot(s) we provide condition reports. However, Lot(s) may have other faults not expressly referred to in the Catalogue or condition report. Bidders acknowledge this and accept responsibility for carrying out inspections and investigations to satisfy themselves as to the Lot(s) they may be interested in.
6.2 Condition Reports - Reports on the condition of any Lot(s) are offered by PARS as a statement of opinion only, and not of fact. PARS are not liable for any errors or omissions contained therein. The bidders and buyers must satisfy themselves to the condition of any given Lot(s) prior to bidding. PARS will not be held responsible for any damage or defect that has not been notified to the buyer. Catalogue illustrations are for guidance only and may not convey full information as to the actual condition of Lots. Prospective buyers also bid on the full understanding of the fact that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion will be honestly and reasonably formed and accept liability for opinions given negligently or mistakenly. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer nor our employees or agents nor the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of Lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded.
6.3 It is the responsibility of the bidder to examine closely and meticulously the detailed and high-quality photographs and explanations that we present in our listing concerning all and any item they are going to bid for. Prior to the action date, bidders are encouraged to ask all their questions and make all inquiries regarding the items, including asking for additional photographs and/or short videos of the items. However, upon the completion of the auction, no further clarification requests, questions regarding the items, or requests for additional information can be dealt with by PARS. Please make sure to ask us all your questions PRIOR to the auction date since PARS will have to consider all such requests, questions and/or claims for additional information invalid as soon as an auction begins. Upon completion of an auction, the requests for any further information, claims regarding condition of an item or any other complains will not be accepted by PARS.
6.4 If a bidder feels a need to obtain an independent opinion of an expert outside of PARS concerning any item listed by PARS, they are welcome to seek the benefit of such an opinion; however, all these consultancies must take place prior to the beginning of the auction. No third partyās opinion will be taken into consideration upon completion of the auction.
6.5 Feel free to contact us for any further information, questions and additional photos of the items. Virtual viewing of Lot(s) is available by appointment ONLY.
6.6 Please keep in mind that on rare occasions, studio photos may render colors of some items slightly different due to light deflection; therefore, you can ask for a photo of an item in natural daylight.
6.7 If a Bidder fails to take any of the above measures to inspect the Lot(s), they do so at their own risk. They will not be able to withdraw from the sale once their bid has been accepted without incurring financial consequences.
6.8 We make every effort to ensure the accuracy of any statement regarding the Lot(s), made verbally or in our catalogues; however, we give no representations or warranties on any statement we make in respect of age, attribution, authenticity, authorship, condition, date, origin and provenance of the Lot(s), made verbally or in our catalogues.
6.9 If we sell a Lot(s) at PARS, which prove to be a Deliberate Forgery, we shall refund to the Buyer ONLY the hammer price and the Buyerās premium, this being the total amount the Buyer can recover from us. The refund will only be made to the Buyer directly, and not to any third party. Neither we nor the Vendor will be liable for any special, indirect or consequential losses or damages that the Buyer incurs as a result of the Lot(s) proving to be a Deliberate Forgery. In the event the Buyer believes the Lot(s) to be a Deliberate Forgery:
6.9.1 The Buyer must notify us no later than within 5 days of the Buyer receiving the Lot(s) in question (as per the consignment papers of the Postal Service);
6.9.2 On our instruction, and at their cost, the Buyer must instruct two independent experts agreed by the parties to provide opinion on whether the Lot(s) are a Deliberate Forgery. After deliberating the contents of the expert reports, and at our sole discretion (not being bound by any such expertās conclusions), if we determine that the Lot(s) is a Deliberate Forgery we will agree to refund the above mentioned amount paid.
6.9.3 In case we have accepted the Buyerās claim, the Buyer is to ship us the Lot(s) back at their own expense and within 10 days upon the agreement regarding the refund is reached.
6.9.4. PARS will refund the hammer price and the Buyerās Premium of the Lot(s) within 10 working days upon physical and actual receiving the Lot(s) at PARSās premises and provided that upon inspection of the Lot(s) by PARS no alterations and/or damage to the Lot(s) has been observed.
6.10 The Buyer has no right to a refund in the event of claiming the Lot(s) are a Deliberate Forgery where:
6.10.1 the Catalogue description of the Lot(s) at the time of the sale was the generally accepted opinion of scholars and experts;
6.10.2 if, at the date of its sale, the only way of confirming the Lot(s) was a Deliberate Forgery was by scientific or other processes which were not available until after the Lot(s) was published in the Catalogue; or
6.10.3 we were not notified that the Lot(s) may be a Deliberate Forgery by the Buyer within the time period specified in clause 6.6.1.
7. Auction
7.1 Subject to our sole discretion, the person making the highest bid for any Lot(s) that is accepted by the Auctioneer at the Auction will be sold the Lot(s). The fall of the hammer (or closing of the Lot during a Timed Auction) marks the acceptance of the highest bid and formation of a contract for the purchase of the Lot(s) between the Vendor and the Buyer. The Buyer shall become legally responsible for the Lot(s) at fall of the hammer (or closing of the Lot during the Timed Auction). We have the right to lawful possession of the Lot(s) until the Purchase Price and any other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by PARS in connection with the storage of such Lot(s) has been paid in full and in CLEARED funds to us. The Buyer will be responsible for arranging and maintaining suitable insurance for the Lot(s) following the conclusion of the Auction.

7.3 The responsibility of PARS upon completion of any auction is limited to secure packing, prompt shipping and informing the Buyer about the shipment tracking number for their lots. It is the sole responsibility of the Bidder and/or Buyer to find out whether the purchased product can be imported or not to their country; it is the responsibility of the Bidder and/or Buyer to find out prior to bidding what customs or import duties or any other taxes or limitations are associated with the Lot(s) they are bidding on. PARS will not be involved in any customs clearance procedures, will not participate in any tax payments in any foreign country with regard to the purchases made at its auctions.
7.4 All auctions sales are FINAL, and because of the nature of auction business and the fragility of the items, there will be NO RETURNS ACCEPTED unless the item is a proven FAKE (and the proof is available) or differs from the described item altogether (wrongly shipped). In these two cases, the Buyer is to ship the item back to PARS at the Buyerās expense.

8.2. All payment will be made in US dollars.

However, we are not a professional certified posting and packing company, and as such, we will not be held responsible for any potential damage or lost property. Claims may be made against postal services or any courier that is being contracted to deliver the packed goods. Upon shipping of the Lot(s), PARS will provide the consignment tracking number and a website link to track the posted Lot(s), and that will mark the end of PARSās responsibility for the Lot(s). However, for the benefit of our Buyers, if the Buyer needs help getting in touch with Turkish postal authorities, we may assist upon request within our capabilities.
