ORIENTAL ART AUCTIONS B.V. - CONDITIONS OF SALE

Conditions of business Oriental Art Auctions

Applicable when buying movable property at auction

1 Applicability

1.1 The present Conditions of Sale are applicable to all parts of the relationship between the Oriental Art Auctions and the Buyer, which include a particular sale, purchase, intermediary services, appraisals, evaluations, estimates, cataloguing, and custody. The term 'Buyer' includes the 'Intending Buyer' who participates in the auction.

1.2 Any departure from the present Conditions of Sale is only possible if and insofar as expressly agreed in writing by Oriental Art Auctions.

1.3 Visitors to the auction shall be made aware of the applicability of these Conditions of Sale by means of publication available at the sale room in advance of the auction sale and/or by means of communication made prior to the sale. By participating in the auction sale each person acknowledges the applicability of the present Conditions of Sale and their complete acceptance thereof.

2. Duty to inform / duty to inspect

2.1 Catalogue descriptions and any written or oral information given by the Specialist are to the best of his/her knowledge.

2.2 Prior to the sale the Buyer should satisfy him/herself as to both the condition and the accuracy of the description of any item in the internet catalogue or on the lot list by personally examining said item thoroughly or by having said item inspected carefully and expertly in order to form his/her own opinion as to the degree of correspondence between the item and its description. The Buyer should, where reasonably necessary or desirable, seek the opinion of an independent expert, and should not rely on the illustrations in printed, online or digital transmitted form. In the event that a description makes reference to certain faults or imperfections, Buyers should note that it is an indication which is not intended to be exhaustive and that there may be other faults not expressly referred to from which no rights can be derived.

2.3 Oriental Art Auctions cannot be held liable for the accuracy of the description published or expressed by any other means with respect to materials such as, for instance, types of wood, fabrics, alloys, earthenware, porcelain, and diamonds, all the above with the exception of precious metals. The Specialist accepts liability in case of an erroneous description only insofar as set out in Clause 6 of the present Conditions of Sale.

3. Bidding

3.1 Buyers may bid in person. It is also possible for a bidder to submit a telephone bid or a written bid. Other methods of bidding, for example, electronic or over the Internet or by means of oral instructions, are only available when said services are expressly offered by Oriental Art Auctions.

3.2 Commission bids should be clear and unambiguous and in the opinion of Oriental Art Auctions must be received well in advance of the start of any auction session. In the event that Oriental Art Auctions shall receive several commission bids on a Lot for identical amounts and at auction said commission bids are the highest bids for that Lot, in the above event, the Lot in question shall be knocked down by Oriental Art Auctions to the person whose commission bid (for the relevant amount) was received first.

3.3 Commission bids shall only be executed in the event that Oriental Art Auctions can reasonably be expected to do so and Oriental Art Auctions has discretion at all times to decide not to bring out a commission bid.

3.4 In the event that a Buyer wishes to bid by telephone, said telephone bid must be confirmed in writing no later than one day prior to auction.

3.5 Oriental Art Auctions shall exclude any and all liability whatsoever in the event that for whatever reason a telephone bid is unsuccessful, similarly in the event that for whatever reason a commission bid, electronic bid or bid over the Internet is unsuccessful.

4. Formation of a purchase agreement

4.1 The purchase is concluded by way of definitive allocation. Definitive allocation occurs upon acceptance by Oriental Art Auctions of the Buyer's bid as the final bid and the knocking down of the Lot to the Buyer.

4.2 All Lots are sold 'AS IS', in the condition they are in at the fall of the hammer.

5. Buyer's obligations

5.1 The Buyer shall provide proof of identity upon Oriental Art Auctions' request.

5.2 Buyers are deemed to be bidding for their own account and are personally liable for their bids without being able to rely on a principal.

5.3 The rights and obligations by reason of the Purchase Agreement and the present Conditions of Sale accrue exclusively to the Buyer and cannot be transferred to a third party.

6. Auctioneer's liability to Buyer

6.1 Unless certain items in the catalogue or on the lot list are expressly excluded - without prejudice to Clauses 2 & 4.2 - the Specialist may be willing to set aside the sale of a Lot sold at auction and to refund an amount corresponding to the original Purchase Price and auction costs in the event that the Seller within a period of three weeks subsequent to the sale has established to the satisfaction of Oriental Art Auctions that the Lot sold at auction has such serious hidden faults or that the description given is shown to be so erroneous that, had the Buyer been aware of said faults or had there been an accurate description at the fall of the hammer, said Buyer would have decided not to proceed with the purchase or would have made the purchase only at a considerably lower price. The above is not applicable to faults that are in relation to the condition of the item (such as, for instance, normal wear and restoration).

6.2 Oriental Art Auctions may refuse to take back a Lot in the event that its description was retracted in advance of or during a sale and the public has been informed of the correct description by means of oral announcements or the posting of notices in the saleroom.

6.3 The Buyer also forfeits any willingness on the part of Oriental Art Auctions to set aside the sale upon failure to return the item sold at auction in the same condition that it was in at the fall of the hammer, the above at the discretion of Oriental Art Auctions.

7. The rights of the Specialist and Oriental Art Auctions
