As our offices are in the United States, we run and contribute to the site from the United States and do all processing there as well as at the location of those who are service providers.As per our location, all materials and content of the site are not presented to be deemed legal or appropriate for those using the site internationally.Users visiting the site from locations outside of the United States do so willingly and will be solely responsible for their cooperation with and observance of the laws of the country in which they are using the site from.

The Site is intended only for legal usage and may only be used for legal and lawful activities.All users agree to abide by these laws and agree to abide by all laws in regards to the collection and transferral of information sent from the United States or the location of Site accessas well as import and export laws of items from the United States to the buyer's country.
Dealers are responsible for the information that they provide about the items that they have for sale; it is not the role of Showplace to verify that information through research or opinion.
Showplace does not take responsibility for the transfer of titles or legal ownership from a Dealer/Gallery Owner to the Buyer.
NYShowplace.com's content, branding, upkeep, and revision is the sole responsibility and under the total control of Showplace. The Site and its contents may be changed only in accordance with the oversight of Showplace.
In the event that a Buyer and Dealer have a dispute over a sale or merchandise, Showplace reserves the right to mediate at their own discretion. If Showplace deems it necessary to mediate in these disputes, the decision reached by Showplace is the final decision and no challenges, appeals, or reversals can be made by any party.
Showplace may refuse the use of any part of the website in any wayto any person or entity, at the sole discretion of Showplace, for any reason at all deemed substantial enough by Showplace to discontinue use or service.
Those who decide to register for an account via nyshowplace.com will be required to make specified information available. All registrants must create a password in order to keep their account secure. Passwords as well as other account information such as username and any other information provided should be kept safe and should not be shared with others. Those with accounts can provide additional information for their account at their own will and they can view and edit this information in their "Account Dashboard."
After registering, users with accounts may terminate their registration at any time. Termination requests must be mailed to sales@nyshowplace.com from the email address associated with the account and specified during account registration. No other account termination requests will be accepted from other methods of contacting us.
Showplace may also choose which parts of the Site appear online and may make parts of the site unavailable whenever they deem it to be necessary to do so. Showplace is not responsible for any repercussions of lack of service or accessibility to certain parts of the site.
It is solely the User/Buyer's responsibility to research the items they wish to purchase and therefore determine what the value is in regards to the item's condition and authenticity. The buyer must also pay the full purchase price via the Site which is not limited to but does encompass legal fees such as taxes, duties, and VAT. The Buyer must also cover shipping costs for all Items purchased whether via the site or through their own methods of communication that started via the site.
The agreements between the Buyer and the Dealer shall not be governed by the U. N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded.
All items are sold “As Is” and Showplace makes no warranties or representations of any kind with respect to any property offered for sale, since the admin is acting solely as a broker and, unless otherwise stated, Showplace does not own the property for sale. Therefore the admin makes no warranties in respect to the catalog description or any other statements of attribution, authenticity, provenance, origin, size, age, or condition of any property up for sale.
Buyers must rely on their own knowledge when purchasing merchandise. ALL SALES ARE FINAL, therefore it is crucial that the buyer knows all the information about a lot before purchasing it.
All statements contained in the online catalog or in any bill of sale, invoice, or elsewhere as to the authorship, quality, variety, provenance, importance, exhibition and literature of historical relevance or physical condition are qualified statements of opinion and not representative or warranties.
As a Site and as a business, Showplace deals in Antique items. Since most of these items are one of a kind and are also offered for sale via other venues, all sales are dependent on availability and are offered without warranty. All items are presented for sale "As-Is." No statement made by Showplace can be viewed as any type of warranty, no matter the importance of the object historically, its ability to be used for a certain purpose, or any other statement that has been made about an object available for purchase. The responsibility to find an item that is fit for a suitable purpose falls solely on the Buyer and they may purchase an item and deem it acceptable for their purpose [for purchasing] on their own accord. Buyers are welcome to have experts evaluate items that are available for purchase and are responsible for paying these experts. Buyers are responsible for finding these experts, arranging for the experts to see the object, and are doing so at their own risk and are solely responsible for any costs that bringing in an expert might incur.
Once an offer is accepted and the customer has been prompted to proceed and has confirmed the offer via their dashboard that means that an agreement on price has been met and that the item is available. Should an item be no longer available, or if there was an error that resulted in an invalid price negotiation or agreement, Showplace reserves the right to cancel the order and to void any agreement on price for purchase without penalty to any party. All negotiations resulting in an agreement in sale terms serve as a binding contract between Buyer and Dealer to go through with their respective roles resulting in the purchase of the item. Should the customer leave the item in their cart for more than 48 hours after an agreement has been accepted, according to the "Make an Offer" agreement confirmed during the initial "Make an Offer" process, Showplace is authorized to charge the customer's credit card for the agreed-upon amount.
Responsibility for the shipment of items that are going through the Buyer's specification, payment, and plans are no longer the liability of Showplace or the Dealer once the item has been given to the specified company. For shipments that have been arranged via Showplace, the items are no longer a liability for Showplace once they have been handed off to the carrier that Showplace has provided. All items sent without insurance are sent at the risk of the buyer.
Shipments within the United States are all insured at the buyer’s expense for the total cost, which includes the purchase price, buyer’s premium, and taxes. Shipping prices include relevant handling and material costs.
International packages are fully insured unless the buyer requests otherwise.
Buyers can use alternative shipping options at their expense. All items are shipped within 7 days of receipt of payment.
At any time, Showplace alone may remove any item or edit any content on the Site. These omissions and edits may be done without any notice and for any reason. Showplace also may terminate any transaction or refuse service to any user if it deems these refusals necessary; Showplace is the only entity that may deem what is necessary in these instances. Showplace's decision to withdraw products, access, or information from the Site is done without liability to other parties including Dealers, Users, and Buyers.
Showplace reserves the right to press charges on any individual who uses the site for illegal activities or for means such as those that would result in the security of the site being compromised. Individuals are strictly prohibited from attempting to use the site as an admin unless it has appeared in writing from a Showplace representative that they may do so, from attempting to gain access to any part of the site without proper authorization, attempting to assess what would be needed in order to compromise any security of the site, from in any way assessing or trying to access or interrupt the host, server, network, via use of any software including but not limited to viruses, worms, phishing, Trojan Horses, or any type of coded threat to the stability of the Site, network, server, or any other part of the Site or those contributing to the site.

All statements contained in the online catalog or in any bill of sale, invoice, or elsewhere as to the authorship, quality, variety, provenance, importance, exhibition and literature of historical relevance or physical condition are qualified statements of opinion and not representative or warranties.

Buyers are welcome to have experts evaluate items that are available for purchase and are responsible for paying these experts. Buyers are responsible for finding these experts, arranging for the experts to see the object, and are doing so at their own risk and are solely responsible for any costs that bringing in an expert might incur.
Sales through the Showplace Site
Buyers may purchase items through the site by making an offer either via the existing console (including login and account creation) or via calling or emailing Showplace. They may purchase items through the console without contacting or making an offer on the product or may choose to interact with a Showplace representative in order to proceed with purchase. Once a price has been agreed upon, the buyer must present valid payment information in order to continue with the purchase. Purchases include all aspects of the transaction and may include the item's price, shipping fees, sales tax and any charges incurred by shipping an item internationally (including but not limited to VAT) as well as all other legal taxes that Showplace is required to collect by law at that time. Offers to purchase are seen as agreement to pay the full price of the object and are irrevocably binding. By accepting an offer, Dealers are agreeing to sell the item for the price decided upon. Offers and agreements on price may not be cancelled by the Buyer once decided upon unless the full price was not presented to the User (such as a shipping quote which may have been unknown when the offer was made)."Make an Offer" Sales
The Admin can mark items price-negotiable after being advised to do so by the Dealer who is offering the item for sale on the Site. Customers are able to make offers on these items via the console once they have signed in to the site. Buyers may not terminate or otherwise cancel an offer once the offer is made unless they cancel due to costs existing outside of the stated price (such as unknown shipping fees). The offer will be reviewed by a Showplace representative who will respond to the offer (after communication with the Dealer) before a stated period of time. The customer then has a certain period of time to respond to any counter offers that are made if the initial offer is not accepted. If the stated time lapses for either the Buyer or Showplace, then the offer expires. All counter-offers function as an agreement that the Dealer will sell the item for that price and indicates that the item is available for sale should the Buyer agree to that price within a stated period of time. If a price is agreed upon by both Buyer and Showplace representative, then the Buyer will confirm the order and then proceed with the purchase via the Showplace console.Once an offer is accepted and the customer has been prompted to proceed and has confirmed the offer via their dashboard that means that an agreement on price has been met and that the item is available. Should an item be no longer available, or if there was an error that resulted in an invalid price negotiation or agreement, Showplace reserves the right to cancel the order and to void any agreement on price for purchase without penalty to any party. All negotiations resulting in an agreement in sale terms serve as a binding contract between Buyer and Dealer to go through with their respective roles resulting in the purchase of the item. Should the customer leave the item in their cart for more than 48 hours after an agreement has been accepted, according to the "Make an Offer" agreement confirmed during the initial "Make an Offer" process, Showplace is authorized to charge the customer's credit card for the agreed-upon amount.
Payment
After a sale has been confirmed, the buyer is obligated to provide valid payment for the agreed upon price including the price of the object as well as all taxes, duties, shipment payments and any other fees that they are required to legally pay. This confirmation serves as agreement to Showplace's authorization to charge the buyer via their specified method of payment for the specified total purchase price. If the Buyer chooses to cancel or refuse payment via any method and does make payment equaling the agreed upon total price, then they are liable for the total amount owed as well as any additional costs incurred due to the delay of sale of the Item including but not limited to taxes, storage and handling fees if applicable. The Buyer is also liable for any additional costs that include but are not limited to costs incurred in attempt to collect any amount including but not limited to legal fees and costs related to currency fluctuations. If the Buyer's payment defaults, Showplace may keep any prior payments and may cancel the sale in order to settle the matter with the Buyer. These payments will be kept due to the improbability of Showplace or the Dealer to receive compensation due to Buyer Default in court and therefore will be seen as reasonable compensation to Showplace and/or the Dealer for damages suffered and constitutes liquidated damages and not a penalty.International bidders must pay via wire transfer for all purchases over $2,000 and domestic buyers must pay via wire transfer for purchases over $5,000.
Shipping
Buyers are provided with the option to provide their own shipping and may do so with whatever method and company they arrange to do so. The Buyer is responsible for all costs incurred through these shipping methods including but not limited to insurance, handling, and crating. The Buyer is responsible for paying the company/persons with whom they choose to set up shipping with. Buyers may also decide to arrange shipping through methods suggested on the Showplace website. These shipping costs will be quoted before they are added to the complete cost of the transaction.Responsibility for the shipment of items that are going through the Buyer's specification, payment, and plans are no longer the liability of Showplace or the Dealer once the item has been given to the specified company. For shipments that have been arranged via Showplace, the items are no longer a liability for Showplace once they have been handed off to the carrier that Showplace has provided. All items sent without insurance are sent at the risk of the buyer.
Shipments within the United States are all insured at the buyer’s expense for the total cost, which includes the purchase price, buyer’s premium, and taxes. Shipping prices include relevant handling and material costs.
