15. If for any reason TPL is unable to deliver any Goods purchased by Buyer, TPL'S sole liability shall be to return all sums paid by Buyer to TPL in respect of such Goods.  Buyer/Bidder hereby agrees that under all possible circumstances, TPL's maximum liability in any and all auctions and sales transactions is hereby limited to the purchase price actually paid by the Buyer or Bidder for the applicable sale or auction transaction.
     
16. Minimum or Reserve Prices.  TPL, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to establish a reserve or minimum price on any Goods without having to announce, post or publish notice to attendees and buyers at any auction.

20. TPL reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to sell items advertised as a public auction sale, on a piece-by-piece basis or as a complete lot.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, TPL may accept a complete lot bid and then conduct an item by item auction which auction shall be effective only if the total proceeds therefrom exceed the amount of the complete bid.
    
    
21. All information provided by TPL to a Buyer, including without limitation, any advertising, lot sales catalogs or otherwise, is subject to deletions, errors, additions, and changes without notice.  Although information is gathered from sources thought to be reliable, TPL shall have no responsibility whatsoever for any information provided to any attendee or buyers.  Every Buyer hereby agrees to rely solely on the Buyer's own independent investigation and inspection of any and all Goods.

26. If the Buyer fails to comply with any of the Terms and Conditions herein, in addition to the remedies provided for Default, TPL shall have all rights and remedies available to it at law and in equity.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, TPL may retain all deposits and partial payments received from Buyer and may resell any Goods that Buyer fails to purchase.  Buyer shall be responsible for all costs, losses, and damages suffered by TPL (i) as a result of Buyer's breach of any of the Terms, including without limitation, lost profits and consequential damages, and (ii) incurred in connection with the enforcement of TPL'S rights, including, without limitation, legal fees and costs and expenses related to the resale of Goods, including storage and rigging fees.
