- 1.SALES BY AUCTION
- The auction is regulated by the Terms and Conditions of Sale and the Terms and Conditions of Mandate. The Terms and Conditions of Sale can be amended with a salesroom notice posted in the auction room or an announcement made by the auctioneer before the auction begins. In the event that a person, who has been given the possibility of making a bid in connection with a lot, has a direct or indirect interest in the same, such as a beneficiary or a will executor that has sold the lot, a co-owner of the same or any other parties having provided a guarantee in relation to the lot, Art-Rite will include such information in the catalogue.
Estimates published in the catalogue for potential buyers are approximate and lots can reach prices that are both higher and lower than the indicated estimates. It is always advisable to consult with Art-Rite before an auction, as estimates may be subject to changes. Estimates published in the auction catalogue are not inclusive of the Buyer’s Premium and VAT. Art-Rite may prohibit anyone from participating in some auctions. The auctioneer, in conducting the auction, starts from a bid that the same deems adequate, in consideration of the value of the lot and of competing bids. The auctioneer can make consecutive bids or in reply to other bids, in the Seller’s interest, until the Reserve is reached.
- Written bids are valid only if received by Art-Rite at least 24 hours before the beginning of the auction and sufficiently clear and complete, notably with respect to the lot and the price at which the bidder intends to purchase it. In the event that Art- Rite receives multiple written bids of the same amount on a specific lot, and they are the highest bids made on such lot, the same will be allotted to the bidder whose bid has been received first by Art-Rite. If you intend to make written bids, please fill in the “Bid Form” annexed to the auction catalogue and send it off with the documentation indicated therein. Any offer submitted through the “Bid Form”, as indicated therein, shall be deemed irrevocable once received by Art-Rite
- Bids made over the telephone are valid if confirmed in writing before the auction. Art- Rite reserves the right to record bids made over the telephone and declares that it may not be held liable, at any title, vis-à-vis auction attendees in connection with problems or disruptions affecting the phone service (e.g., interruption or suspension of the connection).
- Art-Rite will indicate on the Website (at least 24 hours before the date of the auction) and/or in the catalogue the auctions where it will be possible to make bids online as well. If you wish to participate in an auction through the Internet, you will be able to make your bids in real time. Participation in an auction through the Internet is subject to your registration with the Website or with other Websites through which the online bidding service will be provided and the subsequent signing up for the auction at least 24 hours before the auction begins. Once granted access to the Website as a registered user, you will be held liable for any activities carried out on the Website by using your access credentials. You will promptly inform Art-Rite of any unlawful use of your password or in case of loss of the same. In the latter event, Art Rite will provide you with a new password granting access to the Website, and you will no longer be able to use the previous password for access to the Website or participation in auctions. Art-Rite does not guarantee that the Website is always operational and that there will be no disruptions when you participate in an auction, or/and that the Website and the relevant server is free from viruses or any other hazardous or potentially hazardous materials. Consequently, except in case of willful misconduct or gross negligence, Art- Rite may not be held liable for any technical problems arising when the auction is under way (e.g. slow browsing speed or disruptions in the server managing participation in the auction through the Internet). Art-Rite will not be held liable for any damage or inconvenience suffered as a consequence of any improper use of the Website in accordance with this information and the conditions of use of the Website. You will refrain from using any kind of software or tool affecting or interfering (also only potentially) with the conduct of the auction, and undertake to use the Website and any related applications in good faith and in a proper manner.
- The auctioneer will accept the highest bid by the fall of the hammer, which will be the Hammer Price, and consequently the conclusion of the sale contract between the Seller and the Buyer.
- The auctioneer may, at its sole discretion and at any time in the course of the auction: (i) withdraw a lot from the auction; (ii) review a sale offer relating to a lot, whenever the same may deem that it contains mistakes and/or could give rise to disputes; and/or (iii) adopt any measures that the same deems adequate to the circumstances at hand.
- At some auctions, a video screen may be operated. Art-Rite will not be held liable for either the correspondence to the original of the image displayed on the screen and any malfunctions of the video screen.
- Art-Rite represents that the lot can be declared an object of cultural interest by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism under Art. 13 of the Urbani Code. In the aforesaid case, or in the event that a procedure has been undertaken in order to declare the lot an object of cultural interest under Art. 14 of the Urbani Code, Art- Rite will announce said circumstance before the sale. Should the lot be declared of cultural interest, the Seller will notify the sale to the competent Ministry under Art. 59 of the Urbani Code. The sale will be subjected to the condition precedent that the Ministry does not exercise its pre- emption right within sixty days as of the date of receipt of the relevant notice, or within one hundred and eighty days under Art. 61, 2nd Paragraph, of the Urbani Code. In the period when the pre- emption right may be exercised, the lot cannot be delivered to the Buyer in accordance with Art. 61 of the Urbani Code.
- The Reserve cannot exceed the Minimum Pre-sale Estimate announced or published by Art-Rite, except in the event that the Reserve is expressed in a currency other than Euro, and significant fluctuations have occurred from the date at which the Reserve was agreed and the date of the auction. In said circumstance, unless otherwise agreed between Art-Rite and the Seller, the Reserve will be changed into the corresponding euros amount, calculated on the basis of the official exchange rate of the day immediately preceding that of the auction.
- 1.PAYMENT

A Value Added Tax (VAT) may be applied to the Hammer Price and/or the Buyer’s Premium. Referral is made to the information concerning VAT contained in the “Symbols” section below. In order to harmonize fiscal procedures between EU Member States, on 1 January 2001 new regulations came into force in Italy, and the margin scheme was also extended to auction houses. Under Art. 45 of Law No. 342 of 21 November 2000, said scheme also applies to sales made under commission contracts entered into with: (a) private individuals; (b) entities subject to VAT that have subjected the transaction to the margin scheme; (c) entities that could not detract said tax pursuant to Art. 19, 19-bis, and 19- bis2 of Presidential Decree 633/72 (i.e. the sale was made in exemption regime under Art. 10, 27-quinquies); (d) entities benefitting from the exemption regime granted to small enterprises in their own country.

In case of non-payment or late payment, in full or in part, of the Total Amount Due, Art- Rite may, at its discretion, enforce the payment or terminate the contract under Art. 1454 of the Italian Civil Code, being it understood that the period available for the payment performance agreed therein is of five (5) days, in any case without prejudice to Art- Rite’s right to claim damages and sell the lot on behalf and at the expenses of the Buyer, pursuant to Art. 1515 of the Italian Civil Code.
- In case of non-payment or late payment by the Buyer, in full or in part, of the Total Amount Due, Art-Rite may attribute any payment made to Art-Rite by the Buyer to the Buyer’s debt constituted by the Total Amount Due, or any other sum due to Art-Rite by the Buyer and derived from other contractual relations.

- Art-Rite, through a payment institution, reserves the right to hold an amount as security with reference to the purchase at auction of the lot and/or the purchase by private treaty of the lot. The amount will be communicated to you in advance. The amount hold as security, where required by Art-Rite, is a necessary condition for participation in the auction and/or private treaty. Payment of the amount hold as security by Art-Rite will be deducted from the Total Amount Due from the Buyer as a result of the award and/or purchase made by private treaty. Should you fail to win at auction and/ or purchase by private treaty the lot, such amount will be returned to you as soon as possible.
- Should the Buyer fail to pay the Total Amount Due within the terms set forth in these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, Art-Rite shall be entitled to permanently retain the amount by way of compensation for the damage suffered.

- 1.SALES BY AUCTION
- The auction is regulated by the Terms and Conditions of Sale and the Terms and Conditions of Mandate. The Terms and Conditions of Sale can be amended with a salesroom notice posted in the auction room or an announcement made by the auctioneer before the auction begins. In the event that a person, who has been given the possibility of making a bid in connection with a lot, has a direct or indirect interest in the same, such as a beneficiary or a will executor that has sold the lot, a co-owner of the same or any other parties having provided a guarantee in relation to the lot, Art-Rite will include such information in the catalogue.
Estimates published in the catalogue for potential buyers are approximate and lots can reach prices that are both higher and lower than the indicated estimates. It is always advisable to consult with Art-Rite before an auction, as estimates may be subject to changes. Estimates published in the auction catalogue are not inclusive of the Buyer’s Premium and VAT. Art-Rite may prohibit anyone from participating in some auctions. The auctioneer, in conducting the auction, starts from a bid that the same deems adequate, in consideration of the value of the lot and of competing bids. The auctioneer can make consecutive bids or in reply to other bids, in the Seller’s interest, until the Reserve is reached.
- Written bids are valid only if received by Art-Rite at least 24 hours before the beginning of the auction and sufficiently clear and complete, notably with respect to the lot and the price at which the bidder intends to purchase it. In the event that Art- Rite receives multiple written bids of the same amount on a specific lot, and they are the highest bids made on such lot, the same will be allotted to the bidder whose bid has been received first by Art-Rite. If you intend to make written bids, please fill in the “Bid Form” annexed to the auction catalogue and send it off with the documentation indicated therein. Any offer submitted through the “Bid Form”, as indicated therein, shall be deemed irrevocable once received by Art-Rite
- Bids made over the telephone are valid if confirmed in writing before the auction. Art- Rite reserves the right to record bids made over the telephone and declares that it may not be held liable, at any title, vis-à-vis auction attendees in connection with problems or disruptions affecting the phone service (e.g., interruption or suspension of the connection).
- Art-Rite will indicate on the Website (at least 24 hours before the date of the auction) and/or in the catalogue the auctions where it will be possible to make bids online as well. If you wish to participate in an auction through the Internet, you will be able to make your bids in real time. Participation in an auction through the Internet is subject to your registration with the Website or with other Websites through which the online bidding service will be provided and the subsequent signing up for the auction at least 24 hours before the auction begins. Once granted access to the Website as a registered user, you will be held liable for any activities carried out on the Website by using your access credentials. You will promptly inform Art-Rite of any unlawful use of your password or in case of loss of the same. In the latter event, Art Rite will provide you with a new password granting access to the Website, and you will no longer be able to use the previous password for access to the Website or participation in auctions. Art-Rite does not guarantee that the Website is always operational and that there will be no disruptions when you participate in an auction, or/and that the Website and the relevant server is free from viruses or any other hazardous or potentially hazardous materials. Consequently, except in case of willful misconduct or gross negligence, Art- Rite may not be held liable for any technical problems arising when the auction is under way (e.g. slow browsing speed or disruptions in the server managing participation in the auction through the Internet). Art-Rite will not be held liable for any damage or inconvenience suffered as a consequence of any improper use of the Website in accordance with this information and the conditions of use of the Website. You will refrain from using any kind of software or tool affecting or interfering (also only potentially) with the conduct of the auction, and undertake to use the Website and any related applications in good faith and in a proper manner.
- The auctioneer will accept the highest bid by the fall of the hammer, which will be the Hammer Price, and consequently the conclusion of the sale contract between the Seller and the Buyer.
- The auctioneer may, at its sole discretion and at any time in the course of the auction: (i) withdraw a lot from the auction; (ii) review a sale offer relating to a lot, whenever the same may deem that it contains mistakes and/or could give rise to disputes; and/or (iii) adopt any measures that the same deems adequate to the circumstances at hand.
- At some auctions, a video screen may be operated. Art-Rite will not be held liable for either the correspondence to the original of the image displayed on the screen and any malfunctions of the video screen.
- Art-Rite represents that the lot can be declared an object of cultural interest by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism under Art. 13 of the Urbani Code. In the aforesaid case, or in the event that a procedure has been undertaken in order to declare the lot an object of cultural interest under Art. 14 of the Urbani Code, Art- Rite will announce said circumstance before the sale. Should the lot be declared of cultural interest, the Seller will notify the sale to the competent Ministry under Art. 59 of the Urbani Code. The sale will be subjected to the condition precedent that the Ministry does not exercise its pre- emption right within sixty days as of the date of receipt of the relevant notice, or within one hundred and eighty days under Art. 61, 2nd Paragraph, of the Urbani Code. In the period when the pre- emption right may be exercised, the lot cannot be delivered to the Buyer in accordance with Art. 61 of the Urbani Code.
- The Reserve cannot exceed the Minimum Pre-sale Estimate announced or published by Art-Rite, except in the event that the Reserve is expressed in a currency other than Euro, and significant fluctuations have occurred from the date at which the Reserve was agreed and the date of the auction. In said circumstance, unless otherwise agreed between Art-Rite and the Seller, the Reserve will be changed into the corresponding euros amount, calculated on the basis of the official exchange rate of the day immediately preceding that of the auction.

A Value Added Tax (VAT) may be applied to the Hammer Price and/or the Buyer’s Premium. Referral is made to the information concerning VAT contained in the “Symbols” section below. In order to harmonize fiscal procedures between EU Member States, on 1 January 2001 new regulations came into force in Italy, and the margin scheme was also extended to auction houses. Under Art. 45 of Law No. 342 of 21 November 2000, said scheme also applies to sales made under commission contracts entered into with: (a) private individuals; (b) entities subject to VAT that have subjected the transaction to the margin scheme; (c) entities that could not detract said tax pursuant to Art. 19, 19-bis, and 19- bis2 of Presidential Decree 633/72 (i.e. the sale was made in exemption regime under Art. 10, 27-quinquies); (d) entities benefitting from the exemption regime granted to small enterprises in their own country. By virtue of the specific legislation in force, in the aforesaid cases, Art-Rite will apply the relevant VAT, if any, or the equivalent tax, whenever applicable.

In case of non-payment or late payment, in full or in part, of the Total Amount Due, Art- Rite may, at its discretion, enforce the payment or terminate the contract under Art. 1454 of the Italian Civil Code, being it understood that the period available for the payment performance agreed therein is of five (5) days, in any case without prejudice to Art- Rite’s right to claim damages and sell the lot on behalf and at the expenses of the Buyer, pursuant to Art. 1515 of the Italian Civil Code.
- In case of non-payment or late payment by the Buyer, in full or in part, of the Total Amount Due, Art-Rite may attribute any payment made to Art-Rite by the Buyer to the Buyer’s debt constituted by the Total Amount Due, or any other sum due to Art-Rite by the Buyer and derived from other contractual relations.

- Art-Rite may offset any amounts due to the Buyer, at any title, against any sums due by the Buyer to the same at any title.
- Art-Rite, through a payment institution, reserves the right to hold an amount as security with reference to the purchase at auction of the lot and/or the purchase by private treaty of the lot. The amount will be communicated to you in advance. The amount hold as security, where required by Art-Rite, is a necessary condition for participation in the auction and/or private treaty. Payment of the amount hold as security by Art-Rite will be deducted from the Total Amount Due from the Buyer as a result of the award and/or purchase made by private treaty. Should you fail to win at auction and/ or purchase by private treaty the lot, such amount will be returned to you as soon as possible.
- Should the Buyer fail to pay the Total Amount Due within the terms set forth in these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, Art-Rite shall be entitled to permanently retain the amount by way of compensation for the damage suffered.
