  15.   The Buyer will be responsible for all damage that it, its carriers or its agents may do to the property of any third party (and in particular, to the sale premises where sold) in removing the lot(s) purchased. If, in the Auctioneer’s opinion, removal of any lot or part may occasion damage to the sale premises, or any other damage which the Buyer does not agree to make good, the Auctioneer may by notice to the Buyer rescind the sale of such lot. Alternatively, the Auctioneer may require the Buyer to deposit such sum of money with the Auctioneer as it may decide by way of caution for the cost of making good any such damage.

  16.   The Buyer will only be able to take delivery of any lot during normal working hours and only after the Auctioneer has received payment for that lot in cleared funds.  Delivery must be taken within a reasonable time after the Auctioneer has received payment.

  17.   Where any goods purchased by the Buyer can be used in a working environment it will be the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the use of such goods does not contravene the statutory provisions governing such use and by taking delivery the Buyer will free and relieve the Auctioneer and the Vendor of all liability in respect of such use.
