 IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING CONDITION REPORTS

 All property is sold “as is”, with all faults, without any representation or warranty of any kind by Fonsie Mealy Auctioneers or the seller. Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalogue entry.

All statements by Fonsie Mealy Auctioneers made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied on as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by Fonsie Mealy Auctioneers of any kind. References in the catalogue entry or the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose.  All measurements are approximate.

In the case of Wines and Spirits, Fonsie Mealy Auctioneers do all that is possible to indicate the accuracy of levels. Such levels may change between cataloguing and sales. A risk of cork failure must be taken into account by any potential buyer. The Auctioneers will  not entertain any price negotiation or return of purchases nor will substitutes be provided in the case of breakage or error of description. Labels may invariably be stained or torn. Fonsie Mealy Auctioneers reserve the right to open original cases prior to sale to describe levels and condition.
