Conditions of Sale
The following Conditions of Sale together with the Notice to Buyers that may be displayed in the saleroom or in any catalogue, the Seller Conditions of Sale on the reverse of the entry form and the usual Conditions of Sale on display in the auctioneers premises shall govern the sale of each Lot and any person making a successful bid shall be deemed to be bound thereby:-
1. Conduct of the Auction
1.1 The Auctioneer (which expression includes his employees) offers each Lot as agent of the Seller and not as principal unless otherwise stated in the catalogue or at the time of sale.
1.2 Any Lot may be the subject of a reserve price. Should the Auctioneer in any circumstances sell any Lot under reserve price, he shall be at liberty to cancel the sale even if the Lot has been paid for and delivery given, and upon refund of the purchase price (if paid) neither the Seller nor the Auctioneer shall be under any further liability whatsoever to the Buyer.
1.3 The Seller or his representative or the Auctioneer on his behalf may bid up to the reserve price on any Lot and where no reserve price has been imposed (but in no other case) for the Seller to bid personally or through any one agent.
1.4 The Auctioneer may at any time before the fall of the hammer withdraw, or divide any Lot or combine any Lots.
1.5 The Auctioneer may sell any Lot by private sale before or after the auction.
1.6 The Auctioneer may refuse to accept any bid at his sole discretion and without being required to give a reason.
