Conditions of Sale English Law

 Barnack Auctions Conditions of Sale shall be construed in accordance with English Law. All transactions to which these Conditions of Sale apply shall be governed by English Law. Barnack Auctions hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts and all other parties concerned hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts

Definitions

 In these Conditions Barnack Auctions, who act only as auctioneers and agents for the vendor, are called “the Auctioneers”, and the representative of Barnack Auctions conducting the auction is called “the Auctioneer”. It is acknowledged that Barnack Auctions are a provincial auction house and do not hold themselves to be experts.

Barnack Auctions act as agents for the vendor who shall indemnify them for all lawful acts made for the vendor in the course of carrying out their actual and implied instructions.

General

 Whilst Barnack Auctions make honest effort to ensure the accuracy of their catalogue and the description of any lot:

Each lot as set out in the catalogue or as divided or combined with any other lot or lots is sold by the vendor with all faults, imperfections and errors of description. Neither the Auctioneers nor the Vendor are responsible for any references as to the condition of lots listed. The absence of any such reference does not imply that a lot is in good condition or free from faults or imperfections. Intending buyers must satisfy themselves by inspection prior to the sale of the condition of any lot.

Barnack Auctions do not accept responsibility for the authenticity, attribution, genuineness, original authorship, date, age, period, condition or quality of any lot.

All statements, whether printed in the catalogue or made orally, as to any of the matters set out above are statements of opinion only and are not to be taken as being or implying any warranties or representation of fact by Barnack Auctions.

Any claim under Statute must be received in writing by the Auctioneers within seven days of the day of the sale.

Instructions given by telephone or facsimile or electronically are accepted at the sender’s sole risk and must be confirmed in writing forthwith.

Any notice by Barnack Auctions to a vendor, consignor, prospective bidder or buyer will be given by first class mail and shall be deemed to have been duly received by the addressee 48 hours after posting.

In the event of a sale by private treaty both the vendor and the buyer agree to be bound by all Barnack Auctions Conditions of Sale.

Barnack Auctions shall have the right at their absolute discretion to refuse admission to its premises or attendance at its auctions by any person.

In no case will any claim for consequential loss of any kind be considered.

Registration.

Buyers should register full details at reception before the sale commences. After successful bidding please call your surname to the Auctioneer. Should there be any doubts as to price or buyer, please draw the auctioneer’s attention to it immediately.

Value Added Tax.

 Lots on which Value Added Tax will be payable by the buyer on the “hammer price” are indicated in the catalogue by a symbol beside the lot number ( * ). The buyer shall pay any VAT which may be due on any amounts owed by the buyer under these Terms of Business at the rates prevailing on the day of the  auction.

Auctioneers Margin Scheme.

The Auctioneers Margin Scheme allows auctioneers to sell items without VAT on the hammer price. Under the margin scheme an amount equivalent to VAT at the current rate is added to the buyer’s premium. This amount cannot be reclaimed from HM Revenue & Customs. The VAT element will not be shown separately on the buyers invoice.

Absentee Commission Bids.

If instructed, the auctioneers will execute written bids for prospective purchasers; this service is free. Lots will always be purchased as cheaply as is allowed by such other bids and reserves. In the event of identical bids, the earliest will take precedence, a bid in the sale room will always take precedence. There must always be a maximum limit indicated, i.e. the amount to which you would bid if you were attending the auction yourself. “Buy” or unlimited bids will not be accepted. Commission bids placed on our website by the “register my bid” function, by telephone or email and are accepted at the bidder’s risk and must be in accordance with clause below. We urge our clients to place such commission bids within one hour of the close of the view day.

Absentee bids can only be accepted if accompanied by full details of the bidder, including full name and postal address, email address and telephone numbers.

You must enter valid credit or debit card details to be accepted to bid online at this auction and you must ensure that you have sufficient funds available on your payment card. We do not accept card payments from absentee overseas buyers.

Telephone, Internet & Live On-line Bids.

Requests for telephone bidding must be registered with Barnack Auctions by the close of the last view day. It may not be possible to accept requests on sale days. Written confirmation of such bids from persons unknown to the auctioneers must be received before the commencement of the sale. Whilst every effort will be made to execute telephone bidding, or bidding by placing absentee bids, or by live internet bidding, or electronic bidding the auctioneers cannot be held responsible for any default or neglect, or technical problem, in connection with this service. All such arrangements therefore are made entirely at the prospective buyer’s risk.

The purchaser shall pay the hammer price together with a premium of 18% plus internet surcharge if applicable.

In completing the bidder registration via www.the-saleroom.com and providing your credit or debit card details and unless alternative arrangements are made with Barnack Auctions Auctioneers you:

• authorise Barnack Auctions Auctioneers, if they so wish, to charge the credit or debit card given in part or full payment, including all fees, for items successfully purchased in the sale, and
• confirm that you are authorised to provide these credit or debit card details through the-saleroom.com and agree that Barnack Auctions Auctioneers are entitled to ship the goods to the cardholder name and cardholder address provided in fulfilment of the sale.

We do not accept any card payments from absentee overseas buyers – see payment options.

The Auction

The Auctioneer has absolute discretion to divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots or to withdraw any lot or lots from the sale, to refuse bids, regulate bidding without in any case giving any reason or without previous notice. He may bid on behalf of the vendor for all goods which are being offered subject to reserve. Vendors should be aware that lots are generally offered subject to a reserve price.

The highest bidder at the fall of the hammer shall be the buyer except in the case of a dispute. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen, he has absolute discretion to settle it or refuse a bid.

All conditions, notices, description, statements and other matters in the catalogue and elsewhere concerning any lot are subject to any statement modifying or affecting the same made by the Auctioneer from the rostrum prior to any bid being accepted for the lot.

Each lot put up for sale may be subject to a reserve price which will have been determined by the vendor and communicated to the Auctioneer prior to the auction. The Auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding at levels and in increments he considers appropriate and is entitled to place a bid or series of bids on behalf of the Seller up to the Reserve on the lot, without indicating he is doing so and whether or not other bids are placed.

Buyer’s Premium. All lots are sold subject to a buyer’s premium of 18% plus internet surcharge if applicable, unless otherwise stated and published by the auctioneers, such sum to be retained by the auctioneers for their own remuneration.

Barnack Auctions Ownership Interest

~ Lots Marked “~” indicate that Barnack Auctions owns the lot in whole or in part or has an economic interest in the lot equivalent to an ownership interest and will be subject to the same terms and conditions as any other item in the sale.

Rescission

Notwithstanding any other terms of these Conditions, if within fourteen days after the sale Barnack Auctions has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view, taking full consideration of the catalogue entry, the lot is a deliberate forgery and within this period after such notification the buyer returns the same to Barnack Auctions in the same condition as at the time of sale and by producing evidence, the burden of proof to be upon the buyer, satisfies Barnack Auctions that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery, then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. In the event of a dispute then the matter shall be settled by arbitration, the arbitrator to be nominated by the President of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. Both the buyer and the vendor agree to be bound by the decision. “Deliberate Forgery” means an imitation made with the intention of deceiving as to authorship, origin, date, etc., and which at the date of the sale had a value materially less than it would have had if it had been in accordance with that description. Where rescission of sale is justified due to the actual and implied conditions of sale, the vendor gives the auctioneer the power to rescind or accept rescission of the sale.

Default

Barnack Auctions disclaim responsibility for default by either the buyer or the vendor because they act as agents for the vendor only and therefore do not pay out to the vendor until payment is received from the buyer.
