Terms and Conditions for Buyers

1. BEFORE THE SALE

1.1 Introduction

The following conditions are intended to assist buyers at Wimbledon Auctions Ltd, hereafter referred to as ‘WA Ltd’. All sales are conducted according to our Terms and Conditions.

1.2 Agency

Unless otherwise agreed, WA Ltd acts as agent for the Seller. The identity of the Seller for reasons of confidentiality is not disclosed unless express permission is granted by the Seller. The contract for sale of the Lot is made between the Seller and the Buyer.

1.3 Definitions

For the purposes of the current Terms and Conditions for Buyers, the Seller shall be defined as the owner of the goods and is authorised to sell the property.

The Bidder is any registered person participating in the auction, and the Buyer is the successful Bidder for a particular Lot.

The Lot means the item(s) put up for sale by WA Ltd and to which the present Terms and Conditions apply.

1.4 Estimates

Estimates are assigned to every Lot and are intended by WA Ltd to help Buyer’s gauge what sort of sum they might be expected to pay to purchase the particular Lot. Estimates do not include Buyer’s Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are for indicative purposes only and are not definitive. Estimates represent the opinion of WA Ltd and cannot constitute a guarantee as to the value of the Lot.

1.5 Reserves

The reserve for a Lot is the minimum sale price that the Lot may be sold for. Many Lots will be offered subject to a reserve. The lower estimate of a Lot may represent the reserve price or may be above the reserve price. If a lot has a fixed reserve, the auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the vendor up to that reserve.

1.5 Catalogue Descriptions

Any representation in any catalogue or otherwise as to authenticity, date, origin, period, condition or estimated selling price of any Lot is a statement of opinion only. Such opinions do not constitute a representation warranty or assumption of liability by WA Ltd in relation to the Lot. It is the responsibility of any prospective Buyer to satisfy themselves prior to the sale as to the reliability of the catalogue description. Prior to the auction, prospective Buyers are recommended to personally examine any Lot in which they are interested, to satisfy themselves in relation to the above points. Prospective Buyers are welcome to make an appointment to view any Lot’s for sale at Wimbledon Auctions.

1.6 Condition Reports

Reports on the condition of any Lot are offered by WA Ltd as a statement of opinion only, and not as a fact. WA Ltd are not liable for any errors or omissions in the condition report and are not held responsible for any damage or defect that has not been notified to the Buyer. Catalogue illustrations are for guidance only and will not convey full information as to the actual condition of lots. As mentioned in the above clause 1.5, it is the Buyer’s sole responsibility any Lot in person to assure themselves of the condition.

1.7 Electricals

All electrical items are sold as seen and are to be considered as ‘antiques’ or ‘decorative items’ only. WA offers no guarantee as to the working condition of such items or their safety. It is the Buyer’s responsibility and duty to take the necessary steps to be assured that the Lot is safe for normal use. Electricals bought for use must first be checked by the Buyer for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician.

1.8 Fire Safety Regulation

According to The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988, furniture that was upholstered after the 1st January 1950 is subject to restrictions in the UK. Exempt upholstered furniture that does not meet such requirements is deemed sold for purely aesthetic purposes. WA Ltd shall not be responsible for later alterations to the furniture, making it unfit for sale. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense.

1.9 Registration to the Sale

Bidders will need to register to bid prior to the start of the sale and it is strongly advised that Bidders register at least 24 hours prior to the sale.

A deposit may be requested prior to each sale.

Failure to register will result in the bidder being unable to purchase the lot.

Bidders will be required to provide official proof of identity in the form of a Passport or Driving License. They also will be required to provide proof of address of main residence, both landline and mobile telephone numbers.

Any Bidders failing to provide proof of identity may not purchase during the sale.

2. DURING THE SALE

Execution of commission bids is a free service, and hereby WA Ltd does not accept any liability for failure to execute a commission bid or for any errors or omissions in connection with it.

Commission bids shall be executed at the lowest possible price, whilst taking account of competing bids and reserves.

In the event of multiple commission bids for the same price on any Lot, WA Ltd will give priority to the earliest registered bid.

2.4 Telephone Bids

Bidders may request for WA Ltd to contact them via telephone during the sale, to guide them through the bidding process on any Lot and to bid on their behalf.

WA Ltd shall not be held responsible for any issues affecting telephone bids, such as telephone reception and connection, resulting in the loss of the chance of purchasing the Lot for the bidder.

In the event of a buyer purchasing multiple Lots, each Lot is the subject of a separate contract of Sale.

3.2 Transfer of Risks in relation to Lot or Lots purchased by the Buyer

All Lots purchased shall be at the Buyers risk in all regards from the fall of the hammer, and WA Ltd shall not be responsible for any loss or damage of any kind, whether caused by negligence or otherwise.

3.3 Transfer of Property

Property of Lots shall pass to the Buyer only once WA Ltd has received full payment for the goods, including the price at the fall of the hammer as well as Buyers Premium and relevant taxes.

3.4 Cancellation of Sale

Following the fall of the hammer for any given Lot, the contract between the Buyer and the Seller and WA Ltd has been formed and is binding thereafter.

Under no circumstances can the Buyer cancel the sale.

WA Ltd may at its entire discretion, during or after the auction, cancel the sale of the Lot or reoffer and resell the Lot if it becomes aware of any error or dispute of any nature, up to a period of 3 months after the sale in question.

Droit de Suite is a royalty payable to a qualifying artist or to the artist’s heir each time a work is resold during the artist’s lifetime and up to a period of 70 years after the artist’s death. Royalties are calculated on a cumulative sliding percentage scale based on the hammer price excluding the buyer’s premium.
