CONDITIONS OF SALE

1. DESCRIPTION - No warranty is given or implied by the description in the catalogue. Each lot is sold in its condition at the time of sale with all faults, defects, imperfections and errors of description (if any). Whilst every endeavour has been made to describe the items adequately and properly, the purchaser shall deem to have inspected the lot at time of purchase.

2. STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS - Purchasers will be deemed to have satisfied themselves prior to purchasing regarding current legal requirements (e.g. Health & Safety at Work Act) and it is expressly brought to the bidders attention that equipment in the sale may not necessarily comply with such regulations. Any

purchaser shall satisfy himself as to any statutory requirement for the use of any item and no liability shall rest

with the vendors nor the Auctioneers.

3. VARIATION OF LOTS - Auctioneers reserve the right to withdraw, consolidate or divide any lot or lots or submit them in any order that they deem desirable.

4. BIDDING - Highest bidder to be the purchaser. The Auctioneers shall regulate the bids and they reserve the right to refuse any bidding and in the case of any lot upon which there may be a reserve bid on behalf of the Vendor. Where two or more bids at the same level are simultaneously received by the auctioneer, the bid

submitted in the room shall take preference over a bid submitted by telephone or internet. Any bid made or attempted by telephone or over the internet will only be deemed to have been made if received by the auctioneer. In the case of dispute, the Auctioneer shall be sole arbitrator in any matters arising during or out of

the sale.

5. PAYMENT - All lots shall be paid for upon the day of the sale and the Auctioneers reserve the right to refuse delivery when payment is proposed by cheque and the purchaser are unknown to them. To avoid such inconvenience payment should be made by cash, bankers draft, debit card or credit card (in person only)

(business debit cards and all credit cards subject to a 2.5% plus VAT surcharge) and any alternative form of payment (by those unknown to the Auctioneers) must be arranged with the Auctioneers prior to the Sale. All items purchased through i-bidder are subject to a 1% plus VAT administration charge. After the fall of the hammer, the lot shall be at the purchaser’s risk. It is expressly stated that the Auctioneers will not be responsible

for its safe custody. Due to Money Laundering Regulations 2007, the Auctioneers cannot accept cash payments in excess of £12,000 (inc. VAT) from any one person. All money received will be held in Clarke & Simpson’s Clients Account at Barclays Bank plc, Martlesham Heath, Ipswich, Suffolk. Account Number 40484059. Sort Code 20 98 07

6. DEFAULT - If the purchaser defaults with his payment the Auctioneer shall be at liberty to recover by process of law, against the purchaser the cost of any lot or lots bought by him or, without reference to the purchaser, dispose of such lots as the Auctioneer sees fit. If there is a surplus on resale the Auctioneer shall have the right to appropriate the same, or if a deficiency, to recover from the purchaser such deficiency.

7. INDEMNITIES AND PENALTIES - Purchasers shall pay for any damage done by themselves or their agents during the removal of their lots. Attendance at the sale shall be at the risk of those attending to both themselves and to their goods and vehicles.

8. ELECTRICAL SAFETY REGULATIONS – All electrical lots are subject to electrical safety regulations and fall within “the low voltage electrical equipment (safety) regulations 1989” and therefore may only be purchased by a trader who is in the business of repairing or reconditioning such items to comply with these regulations.
