Terms & Conditions
Buyers Terms and Conditions of Sale by Auction
General Conditions
1. Introduction
The following information is intended to assist buyers. All sales are conducted under our printed Buyers Terms and Conditions of Sale by Auction General Conditions and Standard Conditions (“the Conditions”) which are readily available for inspection and our staff will be happy to assist should you require any further information.
2. Agency
PFW usually contracts as agent for the seller and, for reasons of confidentiality, the identity of the seller will not usually be disclosed. Accordingly, if you buy, your primary contract is with the seller.
3. Estimates
Estimates are provided as a guide to buyers as to the sum expected to be achieved at auction for a particular lot. Estimates are made well before the date of the sale and may be altered at any time prior to the sale. The estimate represents an estimate of the hammer price and does not include the buyer’s premium or VAT. Estimates are in no sense definitive and are intended merely as a guide.
4. Faulty Goods
Where the letters “(a/f)” appear in our description of any lot it means that the item is faulty but it does not imply that items not so marked are without faults and all lots should be examined prior to sale.
5. Condition Reports
At the request (in writing or by email in the week prior to an auction) of a buyer who is unable to view items prior to an auction, PFW may be able to assist by providing a condition report but these are based solely on our own opinion and for guidance only and no responsibility is accepted for their accuracy. Intending buyers are strongly recommended to view.
6. Damage to Lots
Any person causing damage to any lot will be held responsible for such damage and the Auctioneer will be the sole judge in assessing the cost of such damage.
7. Methods of Bidding
7.1 Bids may be made as follows:
a) in person with a bidding card;
b) by completing and signing our standard Bidding Form;
c) by e-mail received no later than 10am (UK time) on the morning of the auction;
d) by telephone;
e) by prior booking of a telephone line to bid for a specific item. This service is subject to line availability and is at the Auctioneer’s absolute discretion. A telephone line cannot be booked unless the Auctioneer’s estimate for the item exceeds £100.00 and provided that the prospective buyer provides their full name, permanent address and land line telephone number and subject to the Buyer’s Standard Conditions of Sale hereinafter appearing; or
f) by bidding via our website. Please note, your bid will only have been accepted if you are registered on this website.
7.2 PFW executes absentee bids (under paragraphs (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) above) as a convenience for buyers and is not responsible for inadvertently failing to execute bids or for errors relating to the execution of such bids.
7.3 Bidders attending in person for the first time must register prior to bidding and bring a form of photiographic identification (i.e. driving licence or passport) including proof of address. You will then be provided with a bidding paddle number which should be returned to a member of staff after the auction. You will only be required to register on your initial visit but on each subsequent visit you will be issued with a bidding number for that particular auction.
8. Buyer’s Premium
A buyer’s premium of 15% (plus VAT on the premium) is charged on the hammer price of each lot.
9. VAT – The Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme
VAT will be payable by the buyer on the hammer price of any lot when the seller is a registered taxable person not selling within the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme. VAT is payable on any item marked with a “(+)” in the catalogue.
10. Methods of Payment
10.1 Payment can be made on the day of the auction, at the times quoted in our catalogue, by debit card, credit card, cash,bank transfer or or pay though our secure web site.

13. Fire Precautions
The public attending the sale are requested to leave gangways and the exit doors clear in case of emergency.
14. Artists Re-Sale Rights
Under a European directive there is a resale royalty payable to some artists on works of art sold for 1,000 Euros or more. This will be charged to the buyer and the amount will be based on the hammer price and exchange rate. This payment is passed on to the relevant Collecting Society without fee or VAT. The royalty charge is added to invoices and must be paid before purchases are removed. Buyers must satisfy themselves prior to bidding whether or not any item will attract payment under the Artist’s Resale Right. Further details can be found on the Intellectual Property Office website at www.ipo.gov.uk/businessguidance.pdf.

c. All statements, whether printed in the catalogue, on PFW’s website or made verbally as to any of the matters set out in (b) above are statements of opinion only and are not to be taken as being or implying any warranties or representations of fact by PFW unless it has been instructed to do so as agent of the seller and is not itself responsible for such claims; and
