Endangered Species Items made of or incorporating plant or animal material, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, tortoiseshell, etc., irrespective of age or value, may require a licence or certificate prior to exportation and require additional licences or certificates upon importation to any country.

Pursuant to the European Union’s Artist’s Resale Rights Directive, which has been adopted by the EU, living artists and artists who died within 70 years prior to the date of the sale are entitled to receive a resale royalty each time their art work is sold by an art market professional in the European Union, subject to certain conditions.

c) To resell the lot (by auction or private treaty) in which case the buyer shall be responsible for any resulting deficiency in the total amount due (after crediting any part payment and adding any resale costs). Any surplus so arising shall belong to the seller;
d) To remove, store and insure the lot at the Buyer’s expense and, in the case of storage, either at their premises or elsewhere;

h) To apply any proceeds of sale of other Lots due or in future becoming due to the buyer toward the settlement of the total amount due and to exercise a lien (that is a right to retain possession of any of the Buyer’s property in their possession for any purpose until the debt due is satisfied).
9.2. HFA shall, as agent for the seller and on their own behalf pursue these rights and remedies only so far as is reasonable to make appropriate recovery in respect of breach of these conditions.
10
Third Party Liability
10.1. All members of the public on HFA’s premises are there at their own risk, and must note the lay-out of the accommodation and security arrangements.
10.2. Accordingly, neither HFA nor their employees or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury or similarly for the safety of the property of persons visiting prior to or at a sale.
11
Agency
11.1. HFA act as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by sellers or buyers.
11.2. HFA will not be responsible in the event of any Buyer or Seller failing to fulfil their respective agreements.
12
Terms of Sale
12.1. The seller acknowledges that lots are sold subject to the stipulations of these Conditions in their entirety, and on the Terms of Consignment as notified to the consignor at the time of the entry of the lot.
13
Descriptions and Conditions
13.1. Whilst HFA seek to describe lots accurately; it may be impractical for HFA to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each Lot.
13.2. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a Lot.
13.3. Solely as a convenience, HFA may also provide condition reports. The absence of reference to the condition of a lot in the catalogue description does not imply that the lot is free from faults or imperfections.
13.4. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations of statements by HFA as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion.
13.5. HFA undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonable given. Neither HFA, nor their employees or agents nor the seller accept liability for correctness of such opinions, and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition, or quality of lots, express, implied, or statutory, are hereby excluded. All lots are sold “as is”.
13.6. The estimate does not represent a prediction or a guarantee of the actual selling price of a lot or of its value for any other purpose. The estimates do not include the buyer’s premium, nor any applicable Artist’s Resale Right fee, VAT or other taxes.
13.7. All electrical and mechanical goods are sold on the basis of their artistic and decorative value only and should not be assumed to be operative. It is recommended that prior to any intended use, the electrical system is checked and approved by a suitably qualified technician.
13.8. Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing in the catalogue.
14
Jewellery
14.1. Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to improve their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted by the international jewellery trade but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care over time.
14.2. All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. A registered bidder may request a gemmological report for any item which does not have a report if the request is made to HFA at least three weeks before the date of the auction and you pay the fee for the report.
14.3. HFA do not obtain a gemmological report for every gemstone sold in its auctions. Where HFA get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports will be described in the catalogue.
14.4. If no report is available, treatment or enhancement of the gemstones cannot be excluded.
15
Forgeries
15.1. A lot which is satisfactorily proved to be a deliberate forgery may be returned to HFA by the Buyer within 21 days from 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.
15.2. If HFA are satisfied by accepted experts from the evidence presented that the lot is a deliberate forgery, it shall refund the money paid by the buyer for the lot including any buyer’s premium provided that if (i) the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (ii) the buyer personally is not able to transfer a good and marketable title to HFA, the buyer shall have no rights under this Condition.
15.3. The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale.
16
Transportation and Export of adjudicated lots
16.1. In view of the Customs Union existing between France and Monaco, any exports outside the Principality of Monaco are subject to the rules and regulations applicable in France.
16.2. Depending on the export destination and on their nature, certain lots may require an export licence and/or a certificate in order to be released to the buyer, which the buyer must obtain from the competent authorities.
16.3. Any lot coming from the Customs Union or benefiting from a temporary importation, if it remains in the Customs Union, may be removed upon presentation of a proof of payment of the Purchase Price.
16.3.1. If the Buyer intends to export the Lot outside of the Customs Union, it will be up to him to perform all the necessary procedures and formalities required by the applicable law.
16.4. The denial of any licence required or delay in obtaining such licence cannot justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making payment of the total amount due. HFA, upon request and for an administrative fee, may apply for a licence to export the lot(s) outside Monaco.
16.5. Endangered Species Items made of or incorporating plant or animal material, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, tortoiseshell, etc., irrespective of age or value, may require a licence or certificate prior to exportation and require additional licences or certificates upon importation to any country.
16.5.1. Please note that the ability to obtain an export licence or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import licence or certificate in another country, and vice versa. HFA suggest that buyers check with their own government regarding wildlife import requirements prior to placing a bid.
16.5.2. It is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain any export or import licences and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation.
16.6. The buyer is responsible for checking and fulfilling all conditions of the transportation of the acquired lots to the final destination, including but not limited to checking the import and export status of the lots, passports and export licences, and regulations for importation at the destination. Under no circumstances shall HFA or the Bailiff be pursued for non-compliance or non-completion of the said formalities.
16.7. Please note that HFA are not able to assist buyers with the shipment of any lots containing ivory and/or other restricted materials into the US. A buyer’s inability to export or import these lots cannot justify a delay in payment or a sale’s cancellation.
17
Artist Resale Rights (Droit de Suite)
17.1. Pursuant to the European Union’s Artist’s Resale Rights Directive, which has been adopted by the EU, living artists and artists who died within 70 years prior to the date of the sale are entitled to receive a resale royalty each time their art work is sold by an art market professional in the European Union, subject to certain conditions.
17.2. HFA shall collect the resale royalty due to the artists or their estates from buyers of lots with a hammer price (excluding buyer’s premium and excluding VAT) in excess of €152,44. Any purchaser of a lot to which Artist’s Resale Right applies will be charged the amount of the resale royalty, which will be added to the invoice.
18
Preemption of the Monegasque government (préemption)
18.1. When either works of art or private documents relating to national historical or cultural heritage are on sale, a right of pre-emption may be exercised by the Monegasque State.
18.2. The Bailiff is required, at least fifteen days before the date of the sale, to notify the Minister of State and to provide him with all useful information concerning the works or documents presented.
18.3. The bailiff shall be informed of the decision of pre-emption immediately after the adjudication of the lot and this is mentioned in the minutes of the auction. It must be confirmed within fifteen days. The exercise of the right of pre-emption has the effect of subrogating the State to the winning bidder.
19
Miscellanea
19.1. Any indulgence extended to bidders, buyers or sellers by HFA notwithstanding the strict terms of these Conditions or of the Terms of Consignment shall affect the position at the relevant time only and in respect of that particular concession only, in all other respects these Conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect.
