Each and every lot shall, at the fall of the hammer, be at the sole risk and expense of the respective purchaser and the Auctioneers will not be responsible for any damage of loss occasioned by fire, theft, accident or otherwise, but no lot or lots shall become the property of the purchaser nor removable by him until the purchase money has been paid and the Auctioneers’ official receipt or removal order obtained.
