be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition
we will if so instructed clearly execute bids on their behalf. In receiving bidding
instructions by telephone, e-mail, fax or in writing the bidder shall be deemed to have
read, understood and agreed to be bound by these conditions of sale. Neither the
auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so
save where such failure is unreasonable. Where two or more commission bids at the
same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the
first bid so made.
11. Warranty of title and availability: The seller warrants to the auctioneer and you
that the seller is the true owner of the property consigned or is properly authorised by
the true owner to consign it for sale and is able to transfer good and marketable title to
the property free from any third party claims.
12. Agency: The auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any
responsibility for default by sellers or buyers.
13. Terms of sale: The seller acknowledges that lots are sold subject to the
stipulations of these conditions in their entirety and on the ‘Terms of consignment’ as
notified to the consignor at the time of the entry of the lot.
14. Descriptions and condition: (1) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it
may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot.
Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale
and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to
the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the
understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship,
genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price
involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and
reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently.
Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer nor our employees or agents nor
the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and
warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied
or statutory, are hereby excluded. This condition is subject to the next following
condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in
paragraph 6 ‘information to buyers’.
(2) Private treaty sales made under these conditions are deemed to be sales by
auction for purposes of consumer legislation.
15. Forgeries: Notwithstanding the preceding condition, any lot which proves to be a
deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 14 days of the
auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by
particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written
statement of defects. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the lot is a
deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the lot including any
buyer's premium provided that
(1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as
at the date of sale or
(2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall
have no rights under this condition.
The right of return provided by this condition is additional to any right or remedy
provided by law or by these ‘Conditions of sale’.
General:
16. We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or
attendance at our auctions by any person.
17. (1)
Any right to compensation for losses liabilities and expenses incurred in
respect of and as a result of any breach of these conditions and any exclusions
provided by them shall be available to the seller and/or the auctioneer as appropriate.
(2). Such rights and exclusions shall extend to and be deemed to be for the benefit of
employees and agents of the seller and/or the auctioneer who may themselves
enforce them.
18. Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by first class mail or
Swiftmail in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48
hours after posting.
19. Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items
in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary
appearing at the commencement of the catalogue.
20. Any indulgence extended to bidders buyers or sellers by us notwithstanding the
strict terms of these conditions or of the ‘Terms of consignment’ shall affect the
position at the relevant time only and in respect of that particular concession only; in
all other respects these conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect.
21. English law applies to the interpretation of these conditions.
