Terms & Conditions

INFORMATION FOR BUYERS

 

1. Introduction. The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers, particularly those inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All sales are conducted on our printed Conditions of Sale which are readily available for inspection and normally accompany catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything you do not fully understand.

 

2. Agency. As Auctioneers we usually act as agents for the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. Accordingly, if you buy your primary contract is with the seller.

 

3. Estimates. Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price and certainly will not be below it. Estimates do not include the Buyerā€™s Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are in no sense definitive.

 

4. Buyerā€™s Premium. The Conditions of Sale oblige buyers to pay a buyerā€™s premium of 20% on the hammer price of each lot purchased. In addition, VAT is added to this premium (see below).

 

5. VAT. (*) indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate (presently 20%) on the hammer price as well as beingan element in the buyerā€™s premium. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because the seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because VAT is due at 20% on importation into the UK. The double symbol (**) indicates that the lot has been imported from outside the European Union and the present position is that these lots are liable to a reduced rate of VAT (5%) on the gross lot price (i.e. both the hammer price and the buyerā€™s premium). Lots which appear without either of the above symbols indicate that no VAT is payable on the hammer price. This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneerā€™s Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VAT included within the premium is not recoverable as input tax.

 

6. Conditions of lots. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained in the Conditions of Sale. Intending buyers have ample opportunity for inspection of goods and neither the seller nor we as auctioneers accept any responsibility for their condition. In particular, mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be in working order. However, in specified circumstances lots misdescribed because they are ā€˜deliberate forgeriesā€™may be returned and repayment made. There is a 3 week time limit. (The expression ā€˜deliberate forgeryā€™ is defined in our Conditions of Sale).

 

7. Condition reports. We may be able to assist buyers unable to view by posting or emailing a condition report, but these reports are based solely on our own opinion and are for guidance only and no responsibility is accepted for their accuracy. Intending buyers are strongly encouraged to view. (Please see our Conditions of Sale).

 

8. Electrical goods. These are sold as ā€˜antiquesā€™ only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first.

 

9. Export of goods. Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Ask us if you need help.

 

10. Bidding. Bidders may be required to register before the sale commences and lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. Some form of identification may be required if you are unknown to us. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone bidding.

 

11. Commission bidding. Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be bid excluding,buyerā€™s premium. They will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids the auctioneers may prefer the first bid received. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone or fax.

 

12. Methods of payment. As a general rule any cheques tendered will need to be cleared before removal of the goods is permitted. Please discuss with our Office in advance of the sale if other methods of payment are envisaged (except cash).

 

13. Collection and Storage. Please note what the Conditions of Sale state about collection and storage. It is important that goods are paid for and collected promptly. Any delay may involve the buyer in paying our storage charges.

 

If you bid on an item and win the lot it denotes that you agree to these terms and conditions

(a) give to us, if requested, proof of identity, and
(b) pay to us the total amount due in cash up to Ā£9000, or credit card (subject to a 3% surcharge), debit card (Ā£1 per transaction on transactions under Ā£100) or in such other way as is agreed by us. Our preferred method of payment is by debit card in person, plus two forms of identification.

(3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for.


8. REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT OR FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES
If any Lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these Conditions or if there is any other breach of these Conditions,
we as agent for the seller shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be entitled to exercise all or any of the following rights and remedies:
(a) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract;
(b) to rescind the sale of that Lot and/or any other Lots sold by us to you;

9. THIRD PARTY LIABILITY
All members of the public on our premises are there at their own risk and must note the lay-out of the accommodation and security
arrangements. Accordingly neither the auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury (except as required by law by reason of our negligence) or similarly for the safety of the property of persons visiting prior to or at a sale.


10. COMMISSION BIDS
Whilst prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular
Lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we will if so instructed clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall be responsible for any neglect or default
in so doing or failing to do so. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute
discretion to prefer the first bid so made.


11. WARRANTY OF TITLE AND AVAILABILITY
The seller warrants to the auctioneer and you that the seller is the true owner of the property consigned or is properly authorised by
the true owner to consign it for sale and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.

Consignment as notified to the consignor at the time of the entry of the Lot.


14. DESCRIPTIONS
(1) Subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries, any representation or statement by us in any catalogue
as to the authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and prospective buyers must satisfy themselves as to all such matters. Neither the auctioneer nor its employees or agents nor the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, express implied or statutory are hereby excluded.

within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it
from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the Lot
is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the Lot including any buyerā€™s premium (but not the amount of any
consequential loss, damages, expenses, of interest) provided that
(1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or
(2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this Condition.


GENERAL
16. We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person.
17. Any indemnity or exclusion under these Conditions shall extend to all actions, costs, expenses, claims and demands whatsoever suffered or incurred by the person entitled to the benefit of it and the auctioneer declares itself to be a trustee of the benefit of every such clause so far as it is expressed to be for the benefit of its employees and agents.
