2. Auction Items - Descriptions and Conditions.

2.1. All Auction Items are sold subject to their condition at the date of the Auction. Due to the nature, age, and use of the Auction Items, they are often unique and are likely to have wear and tear, damage, scents, and other imperfections. VIP does not attempt or represent that any Auction Items have been professionally cleaned, deodorized, or restored in any way. Sensory perceptions are inherently subjective and may vary by individual. VIP does not warrant against any unseen, subjective, or perceived conditions that may affect the buyer’s experience. Before bidding on any Auction Item, the Bidder is exclusively responsible for gaining full familiarity with the used nature of the Auction Items and the auction process. By making a bid on an Auction Item, the Bidder agrees to accept the actual used condition of the Auction Item, including any sensory characteristics, and acknowledges that if a bid is successful, the Buyer is agreeing to buy the Auction Items “AS IS, WHERE IS.”.

2.2. Auction Item descriptions, images, and statements regarding their condition in marketing materials or on VIP's website serve solely as illustrations. Electronic or printed imaging may display color variations, which do not justify the return of auction items. Descriptions for costumes, handbags, purses, jewelry, watches, props, and other accessories may indicate "gold" or "silver" hardware, referring only to its color, not the material composition. Absent specific references to carat or precious metal weight, "gold" and "silver" descriptions pertain solely to hardware color, not precious metal content. VIP primarily functions as an entertainment memorabilia company, confirming the provenance of Auction Items in connection with entertainment productions. VIP neither authenticates nor guarantees brand names, logos, or markings on Auction Items. Bidders bear sole responsibility for verifying the authenticity of brand names, logos, or markings on Auction Items, acknowledging and accepting this responsibility by participating in our auctions. VIP solely provides auction services and is not accountable for Auction Item descriptions across any medium, even those owned, maintained, or associated with VIP. By bidding on an Auction Item, Bidders agree to these terms and conditions, waiving any right to hold VIP liable for the authenticity of brand names, logos, or markings on Auction Items.

2.3. In Auction Item descriptions, VIP takes steps to identify and provide provenance for Auction Items offered at Auction. In many cases, the Auction Items offered were used in or in conjunction with motion pictures or other productions and information is solely furnished to help identify and describe the Auction Items being offered at Auction, including photographs and illustrations. VIP in no way claims any connection to, relationship with, endorsement or affiliation of any kind with the intellectual property owners or producers of the motion picture or other production. In all cases, the use of the titles or other elements of a motion picture or other program is provided for informational purposes only and the use of any screen shot or illustration in an auction catalog or auction website does not constitute a warranty or representation of authenticity or provenance and there is no right of return or refund based upon a claim arising out of or pertaining to any reference to a screen shot or illustration.

Bidder can contact UPS, DHL, Federal Express, PackAir Airfreight, Inc., or any other licensed, third-party independent freight company to be advised of relevant export licensing regulations and may submit export license applications upon request. VIP cannot guarantee that any licenses, permits or consents will be granted, and shall have no liability arising out of or relating thereto.

6. Reserve Price. Auction Items may be sold with or without a Reserve Price. A Reserve Price is the minimum price the

In the event of Default for nonpayment, VIP may charge interest on the unpaid amount at the rate of 5% a year above the base lending rate of Bank of America from time to time. The base lending rate shall be the average lending rate of Bank of America for the 6 months preceding the date of default. If such interest rate exceeds the legal rate permitted by law, then the maximum legal rate permitted by law shall apply. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount. The Buyer agrees to pay VIP interest together with any overdue amount. If any applicable conditions herein are not complied with (to a material extent), the Buyer will be in Default and in addition to any and all other remedies available to VIP by law, including, without limitation, the right to hold the Buyer liable for the total Purchase Price, including all fees, charges and expenses set forth herein, VIP, at its option and to the extent permitted by law, may (i) cancel the sale of that, or any other items sold to the defaulting Buyer, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the Buyer, (ii) resell the purchased item, or (iii) effect any combination thereof. In any case, the Buyer shall be liable for any deficiency, any and all costs, handling charges, late charges, expenses of both sales, legal fees and expenses, collection fees and incidental damages.

10. Additional Default Provisions.

In addition, a defaulting Buyer will be deemed to have granted and assigned to VIP a continuing security interest of first priority in any property or money owing to such Buyer in VIP’s possession and VIP may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to VIP. Payments due pursuant to the default shall not be deemed to be satisfied until VIP has collected good cleared funds equal to the total amount due. VIP shall be entitled to retain any Auction Items sold to Buyer until all amounts due from Buyer are satisfied or until the Buyer has performed any other outstanding obligations as VIP shall reasonably require.
