第10條:有形資產的進出口規例
美國及大部分海外國家對有形資產均設有進出口管制,許多國家規定離境資產必須作出出口申報。此外,大部分國家規定資產進入該國清關時必須作出進口申報。進口時,該等國家可能對資產徵收關稅、其他稅項及/或施加限制。許多國家亦禁止或限制進口或出口含有象牙、玳瑁、鯨骨及/或其他瀕危或受保護物種衍生產品的資產,並規定進口或出口該等資產時必須持有特別許可證或准許證。其他國家規管古物及文化物品的流動,在部分情況下,該等物品受目的地國家的優先購買權或強制購買權限制。賣家有責任確保物品以合適及合法的方式從所在國出口,而買家有責任確保資產以合適的方式進口至買家所在的國家。如閣下參與本網站的拍賣或商業部分,並因此購買計劃運往另一個國家的資產,閣下同意自行負責了解及遵守任何及所有適用規則及規例。
對於能否取得或獲發有效的進出口許可證,又或任何地方的政府或監管機構是否設有或行使優先購買權或其他購買權,本公司對賣家、買家或任何第三方概不作出任何陳述或保證,亦概不承擔任何責任。
第11條:一般條款

如本協議的任何條文被任何擁有管轄權的法院裁定為無效,該無效條文將不會影響本協議其餘條文的有效性,其餘條文將會繼續具有十足效力。本公司沒有行使或強制執行任何權利或本協議的任何條文,並不構成放棄該權利或條文,而放棄本協議的任何條款,亦不得被視為進一步或持續放棄該條款或任何其他條款。閣下同意,不論是否有任何相反的法令或法律,因使用本網站而引致或與之相關的任何申索或訴訟因由,必須於該申索或訴訟因由出現後一(1)年內提呈,否則將永遠不得提出。本協議構成閣下與本公司就使用本網站而訂立的全部協議。本協議的任何變更必須以書面作出,並由本公司授權代表簽署作實。

Section 10. Import and Export Regulations Regarding Tangible Property
China and most foreign countries regulate the importation and exportation of tangible property. Many countries require a declaration of export for property that is leaving the country. Additionally, most countries require an Import Declaration at the time of customs clearance of property into that country. Upon import, these countries may impose duties, other taxes and/or restrictions on the property. Many countries also prohibit or restrict importation or exportation of property containing ivory, tortoiseshell, whalebone, and/or products derived from other endangered or protected species, and require special licenses or permits in order to import or export such property. Other countries regulate movement of antiquities and cultural items, which in some cases are subject to a right of pre-emption or compulsory purchase by the country from which they are to be exported. It is the responsibility of the seller to ensure that the item is properly and lawfully exported from the country in which it is located. It is the responsibility of the buyer to ensure that the property is properly imported into the buyer's country. If you participate in the auction or commerce portions of the Web site, and, as a result, purchase property that you plan to ship to another country, you agree that you are responsible for familiarizing yourself with and complying with any and all applicable rules and regulations.
THE COMPANY MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AND ACCEPTS NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER TO THE SELLER, THE BUYER, OR ANY THIRD PARTY IN RESPECT OF THE AVAILABILITY OR ISSUANCE OF VALID IMPORT AND EXPORT PERMITS OR THE EXISTENCE OR EXERCISE OF PRE-EMPTION OR OTHER RIGHTS TO PURCHASE BY GOVERNMENTAL OR REGULATORY AUTHORITIES ANYWHERE.

(Provisions conferring similar rights on the Company may apply under separate terms or agreements with respect to certain matter submitted other than in Public Areas; you should check the applicable agreements or terms provided by the Company in order to ascertain your rights.)
The Company does not screen communications in advance and is not responsible for screening or monitoring material posted by Users.

If notified by a User of communications that allegedly do not conform to any term of this Agreement, the Company may investigate the allegation and determine in its sole discretion whether to remove or request the removal of the communication. The Company has no liability or responsibility to Users for performance or non-performance of such activities. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to expel Users and prevent their further access to the Web Site for violating this Agreement or the law. The Company also reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as necessary or deemed desirable by the Company to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, or to edit, refuse to post or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, in the Company's sole discretion.
THE COMPANY DOES NOT ENDORSE, SUPPORT, REPRESENT OR GUARANTEE THE TRUTHFULNESS, ACCURACY, OR RELIABILITY OF ANY COMMUNICATIONS POSTED BY OTHER USERS OR ENDORSE ANY OPINIONS EXPRESSED BY USERS. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY RELIANCE ON MATERIAL POSTED BY OTHER USERS WILL BE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Section 10. Import and Export Regulations Regarding Tangible Property
China and most foreign countries regulate the importation and exportation of tangible property. Many countries require a declaration of export for property that is leaving the country. Additionally, most countries require an Import Declaration at the time of customs clearance of property into that country. Upon import, these countries may impose duties, other taxes and/or restrictions on the property. Many countries also prohibit or restrict importation or exportation of property containing ivory, tortoiseshell, whalebone, and/or products derived from other endangered or protected species, and require special licenses or permits in order to import or export such property. Other countries regulate movement of antiquities and cultural items, which in some cases are subject to a right of pre-emption or compulsory purchase by the country from which they are to be exported. It is the responsibility of the seller to ensure that the item is properly and lawfully exported from the country in which it is located. It is the responsibility of the buyer to ensure that the property is properly imported into the buyer's country. If you participate in the auction or commerce portions of the Web site, and, as a result, purchase property that you plan to ship to another country, you agree that you are responsible for familiarizing yourself with and complying with any and all applicable rules and regulations.
THE COMPANY MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AND ACCEPTS NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER TO THE SELLER, THE BUYER, OR ANY THIRD PARTY IN RESPECT OF THE AVAILABILITY OR ISSUANCE OF VALID IMPORT AND EXPORT PERMITS OR THE EXISTENCE OR EXERCISE OF PRE-EMPTION OR OTHER RIGHTS TO PURCHASE BY GOVERNMENTAL OR REGULATORY AUTHORITIES ANYWHERE.
