1. All lots are sold “AS IS” and we are unable to guarantee the accuracy of the present lot. This condition report is provided purely as a goodwill service and may not specify all mechanical replacements or defects. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restoration. You are accordingly encouraged to view the lots personally or through your own professional advisor.
2. The band of a lot may need to be removed (due to international customs regulations) before we ship them to you if it contains endangered and protected wildlife materials such as alligator or crocodile.
