Terms and Conditions

1 Important Information for Potential Buyers

1.1 Lots are offered for sale by De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l., a company with its registered office in Naples, vico della noce a fonseca 1 (80135), VAT number 10294961213, REA no. NA1095033, fully paid-up share capital of €15,000, acting on behalf of the Seller as a representative with the power of attorney, except in cases where Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. is the owner of the lot. The term "Seller" refers to the individual or legal entity that owns the lot offered for auction by Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. In any case (including telephone and/or online bids, and/or online auctions), the sale is considered to be carried out within the framework of a public auction, with no right of withdrawal in favor of the buyer.

1.2 These General Terms of Sale may be modified by notice posted in the auction room or through an announcement made by the auctioneer before the start of the auction. Potential buyers are requested to consult the website www.defrancescoaste.it (Site) to view the most updated cataloging of lots and any different sales conditions for the specific auction.

1.3 Casa d'Aste acts as a representative of the Seller and is exempt from any responsibility regarding the origin, condition, and description of the lots in the catalogs, brochures, and any other illustrative material. Such descriptions, as well as any other indications or illustrations, should be considered purely indicative and cannot generate reliance and/or expectation of any kind in potential buyers. The lack of explicit references in the auction catalog regarding the condition of the lot does not imply that the item is without imperfections. Any written or verbal representations provided by De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l., including those in the catalog, in reports, comments, or evaluations concerning any feature of a lot - such as authorship, authenticity, origin, attribution, source, quality, including price or value, estimation - reflect exclusively non-binding opinions and may be reviewed by De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. and, if necessary, modified before the lot is offered for sale. De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l., its administrators, employees, collaborators, or consultants cannot be held responsible for errors or omissions in the aforementioned descriptions and/or representations. Estimates published in the catalog are expressed in euros: the auction base price and the Hammer Price (i.e., the price at which the lot is auctioned by the auctioneer) may be higher or lower than the indicated estimates.

1.4 Each potential buyer is required to examine the condition of each lot in the exhibition organized by De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. before the auction, to conduct (even with their own experts) a preliminary in-depth examination regarding the authenticity, state of preservation and conditions, origin, type, and quality of the lots, on which exclusively potential buyers - and the final buyer - assume all risks and responsibilities. During the exhibition, the staff of De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. will be available to potential buyers to provide, upon their request, an updated illustration of the goods, if available.

1.5 In the case of goods offered for sale through timed auctions, in the absence of public exhibition, De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. is available for those who request a possible viewing of the said goods, upon request by email or by prior telephone appointment, specifying the codes of the lots concerned. The communication must take place no later than 3 (three) working days before the start of the timed auction.

1.6 In addition to the descriptions in the catalog, De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. makes available, upon request, condition reports on the state of each lot.

1.7 All electrical or mechanical items are to be considered solely based on their artistic and decorative value and are not to be considered functional. Before using the awarded lot, it is important to ensure that the electrical system, if present, is certified by a qualified electrician, and De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. assumes no responsibility in this regard.

1.8 Neither De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l., nor its administrators, employees, collaborators, or consultants will be responsible for acts or omissions related to the preparation or conduct of the auction or for any other matter related to the sale of the lot.

1.9 After the award, De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. cannot be held responsible for any defects in the lots, including but not limited to the state of preservation, incorrect attribution, authenticity, origin, weight, or lack of quality of the lots. Potential buyers and the winning bidder expressly waive the warranty under articles 1490 and 1497 of the Civil Code, releasing De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. from any related liability. For this purpose, neither De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. nor its staff can provide any valid warranty in this regard.

1.10 In any case, the potential liability of De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. towards the Buyer (the individual or legal entity making the highest bid at auction accepted by the auctioneer and winning the lot) in relation to the purchase of a lot by the latter is limited to the Hammer Price and the purchase commission paid to De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. by the Buyer.

1.11 The auctioneer's hammer strike determines the acceptance of the highest bid and the price at which the lot is awarded by the auctioneer to the Buyer. The auctioneer's hammer strike also constitutes the conclusion of the sales contract between the Seller and the Buyer, and in particular, the obligation of the Buyer to pay De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. the entire amount due for the award of the lot, including the price and commission. It is expressly provided that only after the full payment to De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. of all amounts due by the Buyer, the sale will be considered completed, and the ownership and possession of the awarded lot may pass to the Buyer (subject to any different provisions of Legislative Decree no. 42/04, also regarding the State's pre-emption; reference is also made to § 11.4 of these conditions).



2 Bids for the Auction

2.1 Bids for the purchase of lots can be submitted in person at the auction venue, through a written bid before the auction, by phone, or online (in the latter case, only if possible for the specific auction).

2.2 The bid increments are 10% higher than the previous one, unless the auctioneer communicates a different choice before or during the auction.

2.3 In the event of equal bids submitted through the same method (i.e., in person, by phone, in writing, or online), De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. will consider only the first received bid.

2.4 If there is a dispute regarding the award of a lot, the auctioneer may, at their sole discretion, withdraw the lot from the auction or put it back up for auction on the same day (in this case, previous bids on the lot will no longer be considered).

2.6 The auctioneer conducts the auction starting from the bid they consider appropriate. The auctioneer may make consecutive bids or respond to other bids in the interest of the Seller until the Reserve Price is reached (the minimum price agreed confidentially between De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. and the Seller below which the lot will not be sold).

2.7 At any time, De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. has the right to withdraw any lot offered for sale from the auction. The auctioneer has the right, at their sole discretion, to combine or separate lots and change their order of sale compared to what is indicated in the catalog, provided that the lot is not offered for auction on a day earlier than that indicated in the auction catalog.

2.8 De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. reserves the right, in relation to each potential buyer, to make participation in the auction conditional on the presentation of a letter of bank references or the deposit of a sum as a guarantee for the exact fulfillment of the obligations specified in these General Terms of Sale, which will be returned once the auction is concluded.

3 Bids in the Room

3.1 To participate in the auction in person, it is necessary to obtain the appropriate numbered paddle, which is provided at the registration desk by the staff of De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. after filling out the auction registration form and presenting an identification document of the potential buyer. The bid to win the lot is expressed by raising the numbered paddle.

3.2 Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. encourages potential buyers to obtain the numbered paddle in advance and informs that registration for the auction can also be done on days when the exhibition preceding the auction takes place. The loss of the numbered paddle must be immediately communicated to De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l., which will assign a new numbered paddle to the potential buyer. The numbered paddle must be returned to De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. at the end of the auction.

The representative, when registering for the auction, must present a proxy signed by the represented party, along with a copy of the identification document and tax code of both the represented and the representative. If the represented party is a company, the proxy must be signed by the legal representative or an authorized representative, and their ID and tax code must be attached to the proxy. In any case, De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. reserves the right to prevent the representative from participating in the auction when, at its sole discretion, the power of representation is not deemed proven.

3.6 "At best" or "subject to inspection" bids will not be accepted under any circumstances.

10.2 The defaulting Buyer shall also bear all legal and out-of-court costs necessary for the recovery of the Amount Due.

11 Warranty and Authenticity of the Lot

11.1 The descriptions in the catalog, on the website, and any other related documentation concerning the origin, attribution, period, culture, source, authorship, artistic or historical relevance, or any other feature of the lot are made with the utmost care and in good faith, but are purely indicative and not binding for De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l.

11.2 De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. does not provide any guarantee on the origin, attribution, period, culture, source, authorship, artistic or historical relevance, or any other feature of the lot, and therefore the absence of any indication in this regard does not imply any declaration or guarantee.

11.3 The Buyer acknowledges and accepts that the attribution of the lot may be uncertain and that De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. assumes no responsibility for any changes to the catalog, on the website, and any other related documentation that may occur after the publication of the auction.

11.4 All the lots are sold "as is," and the absence of a specific indication in the catalog does not imply any defect.

11.5 Any complaint must be submitted in writing within ten days of the award and must be received by De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. no later than 20 days after the award.

11.6 De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. may, at its discretion, reimburse the Amount Due to the Buyer only if the complaint is accepted.

11.7 The warranty does not cover defects or imperfections expressly indicated in the catalog, on the website, and any other related documentation, or defects and imperfections that the Buyer could have easily observed, also taking into account the statements made at the auction.

11.8 The warranty is also excluded in the event that the defect is due to damage occurred after the award.

12 Final Provisions

12.1 De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. reserves the right to exclude anyone from participation in the auction, refuse bids, or withdraw the lots from the auction without providing any reason.

12.2 The award entails the full and unconditional acceptance of these General Conditions of Sale.

12.3 These General Conditions of Sale and the relationships between De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. and the Buyer are governed by Italian law.

12.4 For any dispute, the Court of Naples shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except for the provisions of Legislative Decree no. 42/04 concerning the State's preemption.

13 Resale Right

13.1 If applicable, payment of the so-called "resale right" (introduced by Legislative Decree February 13, 2006, No. 118, implementing Directive 2001/84/EC) shall be made by the Seller.

14 Protected Species

14.1 CITES certificates are valid only within the territory of the European Union. Goods made of ivory, even if equipped with the aforementioned certificate, cannot be exported outside the territory of the European Union.

14.2 Regardless of obtaining a certificate or export license under art. 68 et seq. of the Urban Code, all lots consisting of or containing parts of plants or animals (e.g., whale bones, crocodile, coral, turtle), regardless of age and value, may require a license or certificate before export and/or additional licenses and/or certificates for import into non-EU countries. Obtaining an import license or certificate does not guarantee obtaining an export license or certificate and vice versa. De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. advises potential buyers to check their local legislation regarding the necessary requirements for importing goods containing protected species into their country. Before making any bids, it is the Buyer's responsibility to ensure they can obtain such import or export licenses/certificates, with an express waiver of any potential obligation and/or liability on the part of De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l.

15 Legal Warranty of Conformity

15.1 Where required by law, lots sold through De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. are covered by the legal warranty of conformity provided for in articles 128-135 of the Consumer Code (Legal Warranty), if applicable.

15.2 The Legal Warranty is reserved for the consumer (i.e., according to art. 3, paragraph 1, letter a) of the Consumer Code, the natural person acting for purposes unrelated to entrepreneurial, commercial, artisanal, or professional activities potentially carried out).

15.3 The Seller is liable to the consumer for a defect of conformity existing at the time of product delivery and manifesting within two years from that delivery. The defect of conformity must be reported to the Seller, under penalty of forfeiture of the warranty, within two months from the date it was discovered. Unless proven otherwise, it is presumed that defects of conformity that occur within six months of the product's delivery date already existed at that time, unless this hypothesis is incompatible with the nature of the product or the nature of the conformity defect. Starting from the seventh month after the lot's delivery, it will be the consumer's responsibility to prove that the conformity defect already existed at the time of delivery. To benefit from the Legal Warranty, the consumer must provide proof of the auction date and lot delivery. Therefore, the consumer should keep any documentation suitable for proving the auction (e.g., the purchase invoice) and the lot's delivery or collection date for this purpose.

15.4 Regarding the definition of "defect of conformity," reference is made to what is indicated in art. 129, paragraph II, of the Consumer Code. Defects caused by accidental events or the consumer's responsibility or by the lot's use not in accordance with its intended purpose are excluded from the scope of the Legal Warranty.

15.5 In case of a duly reported defect of conformity within the specified terms, the consumer has the right: (i) primarily, to the free repair or replacement of the lot, at their choice, unless the requested remedy is objectively impossible or excessively burdensome compared to the other; (ii) secondarily (i.e., in case repair or replacement is impossible or excessively burdensome, or repair or replacement is not carried out within a reasonable time, or repair or replacement previously carried out causes significant inconvenience to the consumer), to a reduction in the auction price or resolution of the contract, at their choice. The requested remedy is excessively burdensome if it imposes unreasonable costs on the Seller compared to alternative remedies that can be used, taking into account: (i) the value the good would have if there were no conformity defect; (ii) the extent of the conformity defect; (iii) the possibility that the alternative remedy can be used without significant inconvenience to the consumer.

15.6 In case the lot, during the validity period of the Legal Warranty, exhibits a defect of conformity, the consumer can communicate the circumstance to De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. using the contacts indicated in art. 23. De Francesco Casa d'Aste e Galleria S.r.l. will promptly respond to the communication of the alleged conformity defect and will indicate to the consumer the specific procedure to follow.
