ing but not restricted to whether the Lot is damaged or has been repaired
or restored). All Lots are sold with all faults and imperfections and errors
of description. None of the seller, the Auctioneer nor any of their employ
ees, servants or agents shall be responsible for any error of description
or for the condition or authenticity of any Lot. No warranty whatsoever is
given by the seller or Auctioneer or by any of their employees, servants
or agents in respect of any Lot and any condition or warranty express or
implied by statute or otherwise is hereby specifically excluded.
Forgeries
19. Any amount paid by a buyer in respect of a Lot which, if it is proved
within 3 years of the date of the auction at which it was purchased, to
have been a Forgery shall be refunded by the seller subject to the provi
sions hereof, provided that:
(a) The Lot has been returned by the buyer to the Auctioneer within 3

was in accordance with the then generally accepted opinion of the schol
ars or experts or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of such opinion;

that the Lot was a Forgery would have been by means of scientific pro
cesses which were not generally accepted for use until after the date of
the auction or which were unresonably expensive or impratical.
The buyer’s sole entitlement under this condition is to a refund of the
actual amount paid by him in respect of the Lot. Under no circumstances
shall the Auctioneer be liable for any damage, loss (including consequen
tial, indirect or economic loss) or expense suffered or incurred by the
buyer by reason of the Lot being a Forgery. The benefit of this condition

shall be solely and exclusively for the buyer and shall not be assignable.

photographs or illustrations of the Lot purchased by the buyer for such

cretion as to which bid shall be accepted.

from any third party claims. As regards Lots not held by the Auctioneer
on its premises or under its control the seller warrants and undertakes
to the Auctioneer and the buyer that the Lot will be available and in a
deliverable state on demand by the Auctioneer or buyer. The seller shall
indemnify the Auctioneer and the buyer or any of their respective em
ployees, servants or agents against any loss or damage suffered by any
of them in consequence of any breach of the above warranties or under
takings by the seller.

26. The Seller shall pay the Auctioneer commission at the rate of 10% on
the Hammer Price of all Lots sold on behalf of the seller at Irish Art Sales
and 17.5% on all other sales together with VAT thereon at the applica

Auctioneer to deduct from the Hammer Price, paid by the buyer, the Auc
tioneer’s Commission under this condition; VAT payable at the applicable
rates and any other amounts due by the seller to the Auctioneer in what
ever capacity howsoever arising. The seller agrees that the Auctioneer

in advance by the Auctioneer and entered on the Sale Agreement Form or
subsequently be confirmed in writing to the Auctioneer prior to auction.
This also applies to changes in reserves. A reserve may not be placed
upon any Lot under €500 in value. The reserve shall be the minimum
Hammer Price at which the Lot may be sold by the Auctioneer. A reserve

commission shall be charged on the ‘knock-down’ bid for Lots which fail
to reach the reserve price. Such commission shall be 5% of the ‘knock

must be paid before removal of the Lot after the auction. The minimum
commission hereunder shall be €25 per lot. The Auctioneer may in its

case the Proceeds of Sale to which the seller shall be entitled shall be the
same as they would have been had the sale been at the reserve.Unless
a reserve has been placed on a Lot in accordance with the provisions set
out above such Lot shall be put up for sale without reserve. In the event

Lot remains with the Auctioneer and to the extent that the Lot has not

dian estimate, as determined solely at the Auctioneer’s discretion.The
seller shall pay the Auctioneer a contribution towards such insurance at
the rate of 1.5% of the Hammer Price plus VAT. If the seller instructs the
Auctioneer not to insure a Lot then the Lot shall at all times remain at the
risk of the seller who undertakes to indemnify the Auctioneer and hold
the Auctioneer harmless against any and all claims made or proceedings
brought against the Auctioneer of whatever nature and howsoever and
wheresoever occurring for loss or damage to the Lot. The sum for which
a Lot is covered for insurance under this condition shall not constitute
and shall not be relied upon by the seller as a representation, warranty
or guarantee as to the value of the Lot or that the Lot will, if sold by the
Auctioneer, be sold for such amount. Such insurance shall subsist until
such time as the Lot is paid for and collected by the buyer or, in the case
