2.1 Bidders shall register their particulars with the Auctioneer prior to bidding at an auction, and if requested shall provide banking or other suitable references.

2.2 The highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer shall be the buyer at the hammer price. Any dispute about a bid shall be settled at the Auctioneer’s absolute discretion.

2.3 All bidders, unless otherwise agreed with the Auctioneer in advance, will be deemed to be buying as principals.

2.4 Once made and accepted by the Auctioneer, no bid may be withdrawn.

2.5 The Auctioneer’s right to bid on behalf of the seller is expressly reserved up to the amount of any reserve and the right to refuse any bid is also reserved.

2.6 Bidding increments shall be at the Auctioneer’s sole discretion.

2.7 While pre-sale bids can be arranged, prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction. You are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and it shall be assumed that You have carefully inspected and satisfied Yourself as to the condition of a particular lot. If so instructed, the Auctioneer may bid on Your behalf but neither the Auctioneer nor any of its employees shall be responsible for any failure to do so. Where two or more pre-sale bids at the same level are recorded, the Auctioneer reserves the right in its absolute discretion to prefer the first recorded bid.

2.8 All pre-sale bids require to be received by the Auctioneer prior to the commencement of the relevant sale. Telephone bids, must however be received by 5pm on the day prior to the sale.

Payment & Charges

2.9 The Buyer shall pay the hammer price together with a premium thereon to the Auctioneer. In all sales the premium is 20% up to £50,000 and 15% thereafter.

2.10 VAT is charged on the premium at the rate imposed by law at the date of sale. VAT is not normally payable on the hammer price nor on the premium for books bought at auction. If VAT is imposed by law on the hammer price of an item, this will be highlighted in the relevant catalogue and VAT shall be payable in addition.

2.11 The symbol † indicates works which may be subject to Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right. The Auctioneer is required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art when the artist is still living, and this will be charged to the Buyer on the hammer price and in addition to the Buyer’s premium. It will not apply to works where the hammer price is less than 1000 euros. The charge for works of art at and above 1000 euros and below 50,000 euros is 4%. Charges on items selling above this price are calculated on a sliding scale which will be provided on request from the Auctioneer. No handling costs or additional fees are retained by the Auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. The sterling amount of the royalty payment is calculated at the relevant rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of sale as determined by the Auctioneer.

2.12 Payments for goods bought at auction shall be made within 3 Business Days of the relevant auction or sale.

2.13 Payments may be made by cash, Switch or Debit Cards and Visa and Mastercard. Payment by credit card will be subject to a surcharge of 3% (plus VAT).

2.14 All bids made through the saleroom.com will be subject to a further 3% charge on the hammer price.

2.15 All sums due to the Auctioneer by You must be settled prior to bidding at a future auction and the Auctioneer reserves the right to reject or ignore bids by You or Your agent until such sums have been paid in full.

2.16 Title to any lots purchased shall not pass to You until You have made payment in full and until then no item can be removed from the Auctioneer’s premises.

After this time you will be liable for a charge of £5 per lot per day plus any additional removal, storage or other associated charges incurred by the auctioneer in respect of the lot.

2.18 It is Your responsibility to find out about collection and delivery arrangements.

Non payment or failure to collect purchases

2.19.1 to proceed against You for damages for breach of contract;

2.19.2 to rescind the sale of that lot and any other bought by You from the Auctioneer;

2.19.3 to resell the lot (by auction or private treaty) in which case You will be liable for any resulting deficiency in the total amount due (after crediting any part payment and adding any resale costs). Any surplus arising shall belong to the seller;

2.19.4 to remove, store and insure the lot at Your expense, either at the Auctioneer’s premises or elsewhere;

2.19.5 to charge interest on the total amount due to the extent it remains unpaid for more than 3 Business Days after the sale at the rate of 5% above the Bank of England’s base rate applying from time to time for the period from the due date for payment until payment in full;

2.19.6 to apply any proceeds of sale from other lots due to You, whether from past or future sales, towards the settlement of any amount due to the Auctioneer, or to exercise a lien (the right to retain possession of) any of Your property in the Auctioneer’s possession for any purpose until the sum due is paid in full.

2.20 The Auctioneer shall, as agent for the seller and on their behalf, enforce out any of the remedies stated in Clause 2.18 as far as is reasonable to make appropriate recovery in respect of any breach of these Terms.

Condition and description of Lots

2.21 Whilst the Auctioneer seeks to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical to carry out extensive inspection of each lot. You (and any independent experts on Your behalf) are given ample opportunity to view and inspect items before sale, and must satisfy Yourself as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. You are deemed to accept that various aspects of the descriptions can involve matters of opinion, such as authorship, age, provenance, origin, date, condition and estimated selling price. The Auctioneer undertakes that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accepts liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently subject to these Terms. Subject to the foregoing, neither the Auctioneer nor its employees nor the seller of any lot accepts 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. Any buyer seeking to return all lot has 21 days from the date of the sale to contact us regarding the matter. Any request will then be dealt with on an individual basis. We do not offer any guarantee that a request to return a lot will be granted.

2.22 No warranty is given by the Auctioneer regarding the operating or safety condition of any mechanical or electrical items.

Forgeries

2.23 Any lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery may be returned to the Auctioneer within 21 days of the relevant auction provided that it is in the same condition as when bought. If the Auctioneer is satisfied from the evidence presented by You that the lot is a deliberate forgery, the Auctioneer shall refund the price paid by You for the lot including any buyer’s premium. The Auctioneer shall not have any liability for any consequential loss suffered by You (whether as buyer or seller or otherwise) as a result of the lot being a deliberate forgery.
