Catalog Projects is focused on building synergistic, non-classificatory collections of historical art, design, books, ephemera, and other broad ranging material. Through numerous projects yearly, we level high and lowbrow design, uncover bodies of artwork, compile surveys of the subculture, and develop underexplored throughlines within and between art and artifact.

Each Lot in an auction listed by Catalog Projects is offered subject to the following Terms and Conditions of Sale ("Terms"). By Registering to Bid, Bidding, or otherwise purchasing a Lot from Catalog Projects, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

In these Terms, "we," "us," "our," "Catalog Projects" or similar terms mean Catalog Projects, LLC and any of its agents, and "you," "your," "buyer" or similar mean a person Bidding on or buying a Lot at Catalog Projects.


Bidding

You must Register to Bid with us ahead of the sale. We reserve the right to require photo identification; bank references; a credit card.

Your Bid constitutes a legally binding agreement to purchase the Lot in accordance with your Bid if accepted by the auctioneer. You agree to assume personal responsibility to pay the Purchase Price Bid, plus the Buyer's Premium and any additional charges that become due and payable in connection with your purchase of a Lot; and that upon the auctioneer's closing a particular lot by any means, if your last Bid is the Purchase Price Bid, you agree to purchase the Lot and assume all risk of loss and damage to such Lot, in addition to any obligations, costs and expenses relating to its handling, shipping, insurance, taxes and export. All sales are final.

The auctioneer has the right to advance the bidding, to reject any Bid offered, to withdraw any lot, to reoffer and resell any lot, and to resolve any dispute pertaining to the auction. The judgment of the auctioneer is final, and is binding.

Reserve: All Lots may be offered subject to a confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold (the "Reserve"). The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the Reserve by placing a Bid on behalf of the Seller. The auctioneer may continue to Bid on behalf of the Seller up to the amount of the Reserve, either by placing consecutive Bids or by placing Bids in response to other bidders.


Payment and Collection

You agree to pay all Buyer Costs immediately following Catalog Projects’ acceptance of the Purchase Price Bid. All payments must be made in US Dollars, in any of the following acceptable forms of payment: Cash, Check (with acceptable identification), Visa, MasterCard or American Express.

Catalog Projects reserves the right to charge and collect an additional 3% of payments made by credit card.

Catalog Projects reserves the right to delay delivery of or otherwise prevent access to any purchased Lot until all Buyer Costs have been received. Notwithstanding passage of title, risk of loss to a Lot passes immediately to the buyer upon Catalog Projects’ acceptance of a Purchase Price Bid. All sales are final.

Delivery: Buyer is solely responsible for collection of purchased Lots from Catalog Projects’ facilities, including making arrangements and paying all costs associated with packing and delivery. We may, as a courtesy to the buyer, provide or arrange packing, shipping or similar logistical services, or refer the buyer to third parties who specialize in these services. Any such services referred, provided or arranged by us are at the buyer's sole risk and expense, we assume no responsibility for any act or omission of any party in connection with any such service or reference, and we make no representations or warranties regarding such parties or their services. You expressly release Catalog Projects from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website or services.

Storage: Abandonment And Related Charges All purchased Lots not collected from Catalog Projects’ facilities by buyer or buyer's authorized agents within thirty (30) days following the Sale Date will become subject to storage fees of not less than $5 per day. A late payment fee equal to 1.5% per month may be assessed on any Buyer Costs remaining unpaid thirty (30) days following the Sale Date. If a purchased Lot has not been collected from us within sixty (60) days after the Sale Date, and Catalog Projects has not consented to continue to store the Lot, the buyer will be deemed to have defaulted under these Terms, and, in addition to any other remedies we may have at law or equity, we shall be entitled to foreclose on the Security Interest by selling such Lots and using the proceeds from such sale for any purpose (including payment of storage fees and administrative expenses of handling such matter), without any further liability to the buyer. You agree that this remedy is reasonable in light of the costs Catalog Projects would incur to continue to store purchased Lots after sale.

Breach: If a buyer fails to make payment as required in these Terms, or breaches any other representation or warranty in this Agreement, we shall be entitled, in our discretion, to exercise any remedies legally available to us, including, but not limited to, the following:

A–Cancellation of the sale of the Lot to the non-paying buyer, including the sale of any other Lot to the same buyer (whether or not paid);

B–Reselling the Lot, at public or private sale, with or without reserve;

C–Retention of all amounts already paid by the buyer to Catalog Projects, which shall constitute a processing and restocking fee (which you acknowledge would be reasonable in light of the costs Catalog Projects would have to incur to process your breach and attempt to re-auction or resell the Lot);

D–Rejection of any Bids by the buyer at future auctions;

E–Setting-off any amounts owed by Catalog Projects to the buyer in satisfaction of unpaid amounts; and/or

F–Taking any other action we deem necessary or appropriate under the circumstances.


Limited Warranty

"As Is", "Where Is": Except as expressly stated below, each Lot is sold "as is" "where is", with no representation or warranty of any kind from any party (including Catalog Projects or the consignors of the Lots), express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Because you are responsible for satisfying yourself as to condition or any other matter concerning each purchased Lot, you are advised to personally examine any Lot on which you intend to bid prior to the auction and/or sale. As a courtesy, condition reports for any Lot are available from Catalog Projects prior to the sale, but Catalog Projects assumes no responsibility for errors and omissions contained in any such report, or other description of a Lot. Any statements made by Catalog Projects with respect to a Lot (whether in a condition report, or on the Catalog Projects website), whether orally or in writing, are intended as statements of opinion only, are not to be relied upon as statements of fact and do not constitute representations or warranties of any kind.

Authorship: Catalog Projects makes no warranty to the authorship of any Lot unless explicitly stated, and not referred to as being “in the manner of,” “after,” “in the style of,” “attributed to” or other similar terms.

Limit Of Liability: In no event shall Catalog Projects be liable to you or any third party for any consequential, exemplary, indirect, special, punitive, incidental or similar damages, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, regardless of the cause of action on which they are based, even if advised of the possibility of such damages occurring. With respect to any sale of a lot, in no event shall Catalog Projects be liable to you or any third party for losses in excess of the purchase price paid by you to Catalog Projects for such lot to which the claim relates.
