Buyers Premium and P&H fee is non- refundable All bidding in USD for the convenience to our international buyers. 1) 15% BUYER's PREMIUM (minimum $10 BUYER'S PREMIUM applied to each invoice). Buyer's premium is a fee applied to the winning bid at an auction and is designed to cover various expenses associated with the auction process. This fee typically covers the cost of organizing and conducting the auction, compensates for the loss of the second-highest bidder in case the highest bidder backs off, covers service fees to credit card and payment companies, and is also be used for generating refunds in case of any discrepancies or issues with the auction process. In short, the buyer's premium is a necessary component of the auction process that helps ensure that the auction is conducted smoothly and efficiently while also protecting the interests of both the buyer and the seller. 2) BID IN ADVANCE ANYTIME, LEAVE YOUR MAXIMUM BID TO MAKE SURE YOU WIN AS THE HIGHEST BIDDER! "Bid in advance anytime, leave your maximum bid to make sure you win as the highest bidder" means that as a bidder, you have the option to place a maximum bid for an item before the auction begins or at any time during the auction. By doing so, you are instructing the auction platform to automatically bid on your behalf up to your maximum bid amount in increments against other bidders until either you win the item, or someone else's bid exceeds your maximum bid. For example, let's say you see an item that you really want to buy at an auction. The current bid is $50, but you're willing to pay up to $100 for it. You can place a maximum bid of $100, and if there are no other bidders or if the bidding stays below $100, you'll win the item for the lowest possible price - $50. However, if someone else bids $75, the auction platform will automatically place a bid of $76 on your behalf. If the other bidder continues to increase their bid, the auction platform will keep bidding for you up to your maximum bid of $100. 3) Our return policy is as follows: " Our return policy is as follows: Returns are accepted for orders with a total value exceeding $200. For orders below $200, a return fee of $20 will be applicable. Returns must be initiated within 7 days of the original purchase date. " We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee and will refund the purchase price of the item. We will attempt to repair any issues, replace with an equal or higher value item or refund hammer price. " However, please note that the buyer's premium is not subject to refundable. " If an item is returned, a 10% restocking fee will be applied to cover the cost of processing the return and any associated duties and taxes. " Customers are responsible for the cost of shipping the item back to us. " To be eligible for a refund, the item must be returned in its original condition within the specified time frame as outlined in our terms and conditions. " We kindly encourage our valued customers to reach out to us via email as our phone lines may be busy during peak hours.

WE DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NO WARRANTIES ARE MADE THAT ANY OF THE MERCHANDISE COMPLIES WITH ANY APPLICABLE GOVERNMENTAL RULES, REGULATIONS OR ORDINANCES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER. All items are available for inquiries prior to bidding. Written and oral descriptions are the opinions of Affordable Creations and should in no way be construed as a guarantee of any kind as to authenticity, age, condition, materials, or any other feature of items being sold. Affordable Creations believes to the best of its knowledge that the information presented in any auction has come from reliable sources. However, such information is presented solely for the convenience of the prospective purchasers. Affordable Creations attempts to catalog every lot correctly and will attempt to point out any defects but will not be responsible or liable for the correctness of the catalog or other descriptions of the lot. It is the responsibility of prospective bidders to examine all items in which they have an interest. By placing a bid, in any capacity, you signify that you have examined the items as fully as you desire and have had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Affordable Creations that you deem adequate. If you require absolute certainty in all areas of authenticity, and the results of your evaluation leave uncertainty in your mind, do not bid on the lot in question. We are not affiliated with any government entity and none of the items sold were seized. 2. In no event shall auctioneer's liability for any breach, or act or omission exceed the Purchase Price (as defined herein) actually paid by the buyer, and in no event shall Affordable Creations have any liability under any circumstances for special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages (including for loss of profits or revenue, costs of obtaining alternative property, claims of customers of buyer or otherwise), whether in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, arising out of, resulting from or in any way relating to the lot or its purchase, sale, delivery or non-delivery, or the acts or omissions of Affordable Creations. 3. The successful bidder is the highest bidder acknowledged by Affordable Creations. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt on Affordable Creations's part as to the validity of any bid, Affordable Creations will have the final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, Affordable Creations's sale record is conclusive. While Affordable Creations makes every effort to guarantee accuracy, in the event of a mistake on the part of auctioneer, and a lot is accidentally declared sold by mistake of the auctioneer, Affordable Creations reserves the right to cancel the sale and relist the lot in its sole discretion. 4. The bidder assumes full responsibility for items at the fall of the hammer (or expiration of time in an online auction). A bid entered by mistake on the part of a bidder is NOT grounds for a cancellation of the bid. Each bidder is responsible for his or her own account and bids. By allowing access to another who enters a bid without your knowledge will NOT be grounds for a rescission of the bid(s). Therefore, any bid made on your account will bind you to the bid in accordance with these terms. If an entity places a bid on a lot, then the person executing such bid on behalf of the entity hereby agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid. 5. All bids are subject to (i) a non-refundable 15% buyer's premium (minimum $10 per invoice) which shall be added to a successfully placed bid upon sale of each lot, (ii) any applicable local sales tax, and (iii) shipping and handling costs that are more fully described in the section entitled "Shipping and Handling" (collectively, the "Purchase Price"). For all residents of Canada or shipments to Canada, applicable sales tax will be added to your invoice. Any bidder that represents a purchaser is personally and individually responsible for any obligations of the purchaser set forth in these terms and conditions. All purchasers purchasing pursuant to a valid resale license will need to provide appropriate documentation for removal of state sales tax. 6. Bidder's bid at all times represents an irrevocable offer by bidder to enter into a binding contract to purchase the lot in accordance with the specific provisions of the listing and these general terms and conditions, as applicable, even if a higher bid was received by Affordable Creations. In the placing of any bid the bidder understands and agrees that the bid, once accepted by Affordable Creations, will be the winning bid if there is no higher bid by another bidder and if any reserve or reduced reserve on the lot is exceeded by the bid. All bids are binding, irrevocable and non-cancelable by bidder. Affordable Creations has final discretion on sale of a lot. The decisions of Affordable Creations are final. In the unlikely event that we lose our internet connection, Affordable Creations reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to cancel the remainder of the auction. 7.

On the fall of the auctioneer's hammer (or expiration of time in an online auction), ownership of the offered lot will pass to the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer, subject to fulfillment by such bidder, of all the conditions set forth herein, and such bidder thereupon, a) assumes full risk and responsibility thereof, but not limited to, insurance, fire, theft, removal and storage or damage from any and all causes, and b) will pay the full Purchase Price thereof or such part as we may require.

Furthermore, in the event that a purchaser fails to make any payments under these terms and conditions, a 15% charge as liquidated damages will be administered as described in Section 9. We hereby reserve the right to report such non-payment to credit and collection agencies in our sole discretion. 11. If any dispute occurs between a bidder and Affordable Creations that cannot be resolved, then the parties agree to the rules, regulations and procedures of the dispute resolution described herein and agree to the following procedures for resolution of the dispute: If either party alleges that the other party is in default under this agreement, then the dispute or allegation shall be submitted to binding arbitration in the Province of Ontario. Affordable Creations shall select a neutral arbitrator. The arbitration process shall be initiated by either party requesting arbitration which must be served upon the other party by certified mail. Failure to participate in the arbitration is a default. If an arbitration procedure is initiated by request of a bidder, the bidder shall bear the financial burden of fees to be paid to an arbitrator to that maximum amount available by law. Each party shall simply present their case (limited to a maximum of one hour for each party) to the arbitrator. By bidding on any lot, the bidder hereby agrees and acknowledges that it is completely waiving its rights to have the dispute heard in a court of law. The bidder agrees that the arbitrator shall have complete jurisdiction over the dispute and can issue an award to the prevailing party. Arbitration fees shall be paid by the party prevailing in the dispute or as seen fit by the arbitrator. Any award determined by the arbitrator shall be binding and the prevailing party shall be awarded full reimbursement of its actual paid fees in connection with the dispute. By participating in an Affordable Creations auction, bidder specifically agrees to the dispute resolution specified in the foregoing paragraph as bidder's SOLE means to resolve any and all disputes which may arise with Affordable Creations. By doing so bidder specifically agrees that bidder will not file a dispute of any kind with an online venue, a credit card, or any other third-parties. Bidder specifically waives the right to initiating a credit card chargeback dispute on any basis of claim and agrees that bidder will pay Affordable Creations a minimum of $300 plus hourly charges and costs for any such chargeback dispute opened, due to the severe administrative burden of such disputes and their direct violation of the dispute provisions above. In the event that Bidder violates this dispute resolution provisions, in consideration of Affordable Creations's approval of the application of the bidder to bid in Affordable Creations's auction, bidder confesses judgment to fraud having been committed by bidder against Affordable Creations and further agrees that bidder is liable to Affordable Creations for all damages, losses and costs, including time charges, resulting. 12. The bidder hereby waives, releases, remises, acquits, and forever discharges Affordable Creations and any consignor, and shall indemnify and hold them harmless against any claims, actions, cause of action, demands, rights, damages, costs, expenses, or compensation whatsoever, direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which the bidder now has or which may arise in the future on the account of or in any way growing out of or connected with any defects, latent or otherwise, or the physical condition of any items or lots purchased or any law or regulation applicable thereto. Affordable Creations or consignor shall provide notice to bidder promptly of any such claim, suit, or proceeding. 13. If any provision of these terms and conditions or of any listing be void, unlawful or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent possible to comply with applicable law, or if modification is not possible, deleted and severed from the remaining provisions. Any such modification, deletion or severing shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any of the remaining provisions. 14. Affordable Creations reserves rights to ask for deposit fee of $500 or 10% of the total value (whichever is higher) of bids placed by the any bidde, to make auction fair and to protect interest of all participating bidders. Further, deposit fee is adjustable against final invoice or refundable in case of no wins. Affordable Creations may refuse/cancel bids placed by such bidders in case of unpaid deposit fee. 15. These terms and conditions, the contents of any listing and the contractual relationship between Affordable Creations and any bidder shall be interpreted under and governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario. 16. Definition of "Unreserved Auction", is an auction in which the item for sale will be sold regardless of price. This contrasts with a reserve auction, where the item for sale may not be sold if the final bid is not high enough to satisfy the seller. In practice, an auction advertised as "absolute" or "no-reserve" may nonetheless still not sell to the highest bidder on the day, for example, if the seller withdraws the item from the auction or extends the auction period indefinitely. Notwithstanding that an auction is advertised to be with No Reserve, a starting price may be stipulated by the seller. Any bids that do not meet or exceed the starting price set by the Seller are deemed to be invalid. 17. We do not accept any returns when add-on services like Ring sizing or appraisals are provided. Affordable Creations hosts unreserved auctions, which means Affordable Creations reserve rights to stipulate starting bid and any bid lower than starting bid is deemed invalid. But any bid more than or equal to the starting bid will have a winner irrespective of the bid value or number of bidders. 18: We make every effort to accurately photograph and describe the lots available for auction. However, in the event of any discrepancies, we reserve the right to correct any errors. It is the buyer's responsibility to inquire and clarify any concerns or questions regarding the lots before the close of the auction. **IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ** AS YOU HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED BY AGREEING TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AUCTION, THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES. IN THE EVENT THAT YOU REQUEST AND ARE GRANTED BY AFFORDABLE CREATIONS, A RETURN OR REFUND, YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING SHIPPING FEE (FORWARD & BACKWARD) OF PACKAGE THAT IS RETURNED, LESS APPLICABLE TAXES, PLUS THE ENTIRE BUYER'S PREMIUM FOR EACH ITEM AS WELL AS ALL OF THE SHIPPING/HANDLING CHARGES. ACCORDINGLY, THE RESTOCKING FEE, BUYER'S PREMIUM, AND ANY SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS ARE NEVER ELIGIBLE FOR A RETURN OR REFUND. IN THE EVENT THAT YOU REFUSE PAYMENT FOR A WINNING BID YOU WILL BE SUBJECT TO A 15% LIQUIDATED DAMAGES CHARGE OF THE HAMMER PRICE AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 9 HEREIN. Regarding Appraised Jewelry, Watches and Loose Stones? Affordable Creations may send jewelry, watches, accessories, and loose stones out to a third-party for appraisals. All such lots are sold AS IS and may have been worn, been previously repaired, altered, customized (including having been modified with after-market stones or had the bezel changed in its entirety on certain jewelry or watches), or been embellished. For purposes of our actions, the terms custom, modified, or after-market may be used interchangeably. Such wear, repair or changes may display varying levels of evidence. The bidder hereby acknowledges that the absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply the absence of wear, repairs, customization, or defects. While Affordable Creations makes every effort to call to the attention of bidders the use of after-market parts in jewelry and watches sold, the use of such parts or stones shall not constitute a warranty or representation that the items are original in their entirety. These modifications, customizations, and alterations may impair the ability of the original manufacturer to repair such item or certify the item as authentic All descriptions and statements related to such lots, including measurement, authorship, source or origin, or other aspects are qualified opines and do not constitute a warranty or representation, and are provided for identification and insurance purposes only. Not all Jewelry, watches or loose stones are appraised, and the appraisals are provided for bidders only in certain instances at the discretion of Affordable Creations. Our appraisals are conducted by independent third-party appraisal firms. Such firms may be certified GIA Gemologists or have education in the industry or alternative certifications. Appraisals should be used for verification of gemstone and/or metal weight, size, and grade only, not actual value for resale. Appraisal value should be not considered for actual value, as price varies greatly from retail locations and other merchants in different geographic locations. All Items auctioned by Affordable Creations should not be purchased with a view or expectation toward resale for appraisal price given, or to make a profit. The ultimate value for which an item can be resold may vary drastically from the appraisals listed by Affordable Creations. All dimensions and weights of such lots are approximate and are consistent with standards and practices in the industry. Condition reports are provided as a service to prospective bidders. Bidders should note that such descriptions are not warranties and that watches may need general service, change of battery or further repair work for which the buyer is solely responsible. Certain watch bands from protected species of animals (i.e. alligator, crocodile) and items made of ivory and tortoise may be subject to restrictions in certain countries. Regarding Coins & Currency - No material certified by third-parties may be returned to Affordable Creations because of a possible difference of opinion with respect to the grade offered by such third-party organization, dealer, or service. No guarantee of grade is offered for uncertified lots sold and then subsequently submitted to a third-party grading service. There are absolutely no exceptions to this policy. Any coins sold referencing a third-party grading service as sold AS IS without any express or implied warranty. Notes sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold AS IS without any express or implied warranty. Grading, condition, or other attributes of any lot may have a material effect on its value, and the opinion of others, including third-party grading services may differ with that of Affordable Creations. Affordable Creations shall not be bound by any prior or subsequent opinion, determination, or certification by any grading service. Bidder specifically waives any claim to right of return of any item because of the opinion, determination, or certification, or lack thereof, by any grading services. Third-party graded notes are not returnable for any reason whatsoever. Due to changing grading standards over time, differing interpretations and to possible mishandling of items by subsequent owners, Affordable Creations reserves the right to grade items differently than shown on certificates from any grading service that accompany the items. Affordable Creations also reserves the right to grade items differently than the grades shown in the prior catalog should such items be reconsigned or reoffered in any future auction. Although consensus grading is employed by most grading services, it should be noted as aforesaid that grading is not an exact science and various third-party grading services, or even different employees from the same grading service may grade the same lot differently. Bidder fully understands and is aware of such potential inconsistencies and is bidding with such knowledge. Certification does not guarantee protection against the normal risks associated with potentially volatile markets. The degree of liquidity for certified coins and collectibles will vary according to general market conditions and the lot involved. For some lots there may be no active market at all at certain points in time. Bidders are advised that certain types of plastic may react with a coin's metal or transfer plasticizer to notes and may cause damage. Payment All payments for lots won are due Immediately upon receiving your invoice * Once a catalog has been proofed the ALL DISPUTES ARE SUBJECT TO ONTARIO JURISDICTION.
