Many lots are of an age or nature,which preclude their being in pristinecondition. Some catalogue descriptionsmay take reference to damage and/orrestoration; however, omission of such areference does not imply a lot is freefrom defects nor does any reference to aparticular defect imply the absence ofothers.6.

Such additional charges beingsubject to the foregoing conditionsregulating payment and no lots shall bereleased to a Purchaser until any excesscharges have been paid. In any event,the Auctioneers reserve the right to reselluncollected lots by auction or privatetreaty or alternatively, warehouse goodsat a Purchaser’s expense. In all cases,the Auctioneers may act without noticeand any incidental expenses incurred willbecome a liability to the defaulter.21. Notwithstanding any other terms inthese Conditions of Sale, if within sevendays of the Sale, a Purchaser givesnotice in writing to the Auctioneers, thatin his/her opinion a particular lot (thisshall not apply to books or similar printedmatter) is a deliberate forgery, asdefined below and within fourteen daysafter such written notice, returns the lotto the Auctioneers in the same conditionas it was at the time of the Sale – any byproducing evidence, the burden of proofto be upon the Purchaser – satisfies theAuctioneers that the lot is a deliberateforgery, then the Auctioneers areauthorised to and will rescind thetransaction and refund the purchaseprice received by them. This benefit isnot assignable. In the context of thisguarantee, a ‘deliberate forgery’ means alot made with an intention to deceive,when considered in the light of thecatalogue entry and at the date of theSale had a value substantially less than itwould have had, had it been inaccordance with the description.However, there will be no right where thedescription in the catalogue at the timeof Sale was in accordance with the thengeneral opinion.

A Buyers Premium of 15% Inclusiveof VAT is payable on purchases pleaserefer to specific sale advert or cataloguefor details.Further notes to buyers1. Introduction. The following informativenotes are intended to assist Buyers, particularlythose inexperienced or new to our salerooms.All sales are conducted on our printedConditions of Sale which are readily availablefor inspection and normally accompanycatalogues. Our staff will be happy to help youif there is anything you do not fully understand.2. Agency. As auctioneers we usuallycontract as agents for the seller whose identity,for reasons of confidentiality, is not normallydisclosed. Accordingly if you buy your primarycontract is with the seller.3. Estimates. Estimates are designed to helpbuyers gauge what sort of sum might beinvolved for the purchase of a particular lot.The lower estimate may represent the reserveprice and certainly will not be below it.

Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premiumor VAT (where chargeable). Estimates areprepared some time before the sale and maybe altered by announcement before the sale.They are in no sense definitive.4. Buyer's Premium. The Conditions ofSale oblige buyers to pay a buyer's premium at- 15% on the hammer price of each lotpurchased. In addition, VAT is included in thispremium (see below).5. VAT. (*) indicates that VAT is payable bythe purchaser at the standard rate (presently17.5%) on the hammer price as well as beingan element in the buyer's premium. Thisimposition of VAT is likely to be because theseller is registered for VAT within the EuropeanUnion and is not operating the Dealers MarginScheme or because VAT is due at 17.5% onimportation into the UK. The double symbol(**) indicates that the lot has been importedfrom outside the European Union and thepresent position is that these lots are liable to areduced rate of VAT (5%) on the gross lot price(i.e. both the hammer price and the buyer'spremium). Lots which appear without either ofthe above symbols indicate that no VAT ispayable on the hammer price. This is becausesuch lots are sold using the Auctioneers'Margin Scheme and it should be noted that theVAT included within the Premium is notrecoverable as input tax.6. We are, primarily, agents for the seller. Weare dependent on information provided by theseller and whilst we may inspect lots and actreasonably in taking a general view about themwe are normally unable to carry out a detailedor any examination of lots in order to ascertaintheir condition in the way in which it would bewise for a buyer to do. Intending buyers haveample opportunity for inspection of goods and,therefore, accept responsibility for inspectingand investigating lots in which they may beinterested. Please note carefully the exclusionof liability for the condition of lots contained inthe Conditions of Sale. Neither the seller norwe, as the auctioneers, accept anyresponsibility for their condition. In particular,mechanical objects of any age are notguaranteed to be in working order.
