Auction Rules
All sales are final. No purchase can be returned, refunded or exchanged. All artworks are sold “as is” as exhibited, unless otherwise stated. No HST or auction commission is applicable.
Tax Receipts for Art Purchasers
For artworks that sell for more than 125% of the appraised value, the purchaser will be issued a tax receipt for the difference between the appraised value (retail value) and selling price.
