provisions hereof, provided that:

auction together with evidence proving that it is a Forg-

ery, the number of the Lot and the date of the auction

marketable title to the Lot free from any third party

claims;

time of the auction was in accordance with the then

generally accepted opinion of scholars or experts or

fairly indicated that there was a conflict of such opinion;

(ii) The only method of establishing at the time of the

auction in question that the Lot was a Forgery would

have been by means of scientific processes which were

not generally accepted for use until after the date of

the auction or which were unreasonably expensive or

impractical.

The buyer’s sole entitlement under this condition is to

a refund of the actual amount paid by him in respect of

the Lot. Under no circumstances shall the Auctioneer

be liable for any damage, loss (including consequen-

tial, indirect or economic loss) or expense suffered

or incurred by the buyer by reason of the Lot being a

sale should be conducted;

(iii) To determine the description of any Lot in a Cata-

logue.

(iv) To decide whether the views of any expert shall be

obtained and to submit Lots for examination by any

such experts.

(v) To determine what illustration of a Lot (if any) is to

be included in the Catalogue.

Seller’s Warranty and Indemnity

24. The seller warrants to the Auctioneer and to the

buyer that he is the true owner of the Lot or is legally

authorised to sell the Lot on behalf of the true owner

and can transfer good and marketable title to the Lot

free from any third party claims. As regards Lots not

held by the Auctioneer on its premises or under its

control the seller warrants and undertakes to the Auc-

tioneer and the buyer that the Lot will be available and

in a deliverable state on demand by the Auctioneer or

buyer. The seller shall indemnify the Auctioneer and the

buyer or any of their respective employees, servants

or agents against any loss or damage suffered by any

of them in consequence of any breach of the above

warranties or undertakings by the seller.

Reserves

25. Subject to the Auctioneer’s discretion, the seller

shall be entitled prior to the auction to place a reserve

on any Lot. All reserves must be agreed in advance by

the Auctioneer and entered on the Sale Order Form or

subsequently be confirmed in writing to the Auction-

eer prior to auction. This also applies to changes in

reserves. A reserve may not be placed upon any Lots

under €150 in value. The reserve shall be the minimum

Hammer Price at which the Lot may be sold by the Auc-

tioneer. A reserve once in place may only be changed

with the consent of the Auctioneer. A commission shall

be charged on the ‘knock-down’ bid for Lots which fail

to reach the reserve price. Such commission shall be 5%

of the ‘knock-down’ bid. This commission and any VAT

payable thereon must be paid before removal of the Lot

after the auction. The minimum commission hereunder

shall be €50. The Auctioneer may in its sole discretion

sell a Lot at a Hammer Price below the reserve thereon

but in such case the Proceeds of Sale to which the

seller shall be entitled shall be the same as they would

have been had the sale been at the reverse. Unless a

reserve has been placed on a Lot in accordance with

the provisions set out above such Lot shall be put up

for sale without reserve. In the event that any reserve

price is not reached at auction then for so long as the

Lot remains with the Auctioneer and to the extent that

the Lot has not been re-entered in another auction

pursuant to condition 31 the seller authorises the

Auctioneer to sell the Lot by private treaty at not less

than the reserve price. The Auctioneer shall ensure that

in such a case those conditions herein which concern

mainly the buyer shall, with any necessary modification,

apply to such sale.

Commission

26. The Seller shall pay the Auctioneer commission at

the rate of 10% on the Hammer Price of all Lots sold on

behalf of the seller at Irish Art Sales and 17.5% on all

other Sales together with VAT thereon at the applicable

authorises the Auctioneer to deduct from the Hammer

Price paid by the buyer the Auctioneer’s Commission

under this condition; VAT payable at the applicable

rates and any other amounts due by the seller to the

Auctioneer in whatever capacity howsoever arising. The

seller agrees that the Auctioneer may also receive com-

mission from the buyer pursuant to condition 13.

Minimum Charges: Each individual lot is subject to a

minimum fee of €3.00 plus VAT, with a minimum charge

per account of €50.00 plus VAT.

Insurance

27. Unless otherwise instructed by the seller, all Lots

(with the exception of motor vehicles) deposited with

the Auctioneer or put under its control for sale shall

automatically be insured by the Auctioneer under the

Auctioneer’s own fine arts policy for such sum as the

Auctioneer shall from time to time in its absolute dis-

cretion determine. The seller shall pay the Auctioneer a

contribution towards such insurance at the rate of 1.5%

of the Hammer Price plus VAT. If the seller instructs the

Auctioneer not to insure a Lot then the Lot shall at all

times remain at the risk of the seller who undertakes

to indemnify the Auctioneer and hold the Auctioneer

harmless against any and all claims made or proceed-

ings brought against the Auctioneer of whatever nature

and howsoever and wheresoever occurring for loss or

damage to the Lot. The sum for which a Lot is covered

for insurance under this condition shall not constitute

and shall not be relied upon by the seller as a represen-

tation, warranty or guarantee as to the value of the Lot

or that the Lot will, if sold by the Auctioneer, be sold for

such amount. Such insurance shall subsist until such

time as the Lot is paid for and collected by the buyer

or, in the case of Lots sold which are not paid for or

collected by the buyer by the due date hereunder for

payment or collection such due date or, in the case of

Lots which are not sold, on the expiry of seven (7) days

from the date on which the Auctioneer has notified the

Recision of Sale

28. If before the Auctioneer has paid the Proceeds of

Sale to the seller the buyer proves to the satisfaction

of the Auctioneer that the Lot sold is a Forgery and the

requirements of condition 20 are satisfied the Auction-

eer shall rescind the sale and refund to the buyer any

amount paid to the Auctioneer by the buyer in respect

of the Lot.

Payment of Proceeds of Sale

29. The Auctioneer shall remit the Proceeds of Sale to

amount equal to the Proceeds of Sale then title to the

Lot shall pass to the Auctioneer. If the buyer fails to pay

(14) days after the date of the auction, the Auctioneer

shall endeavor to notify the seller and take the seller’s

instructions on the course of action to be taken and, to

the extent that it is in the sole opinion of the Auctioneer

feasible, shall endeavor to assist the seller to recover

the Total Amount Due from the buyer provided that

nothing herein shall oblige the Auctioneer to issue

proceedings against the buyer in the Auctioneer’s own

name. If circumstances do not permit the Auctioneer to

take instructions from the seller or, if after notifying the

seller, it does not receive instructions within seven (7)

days, the Auctioneer reserves the right, and is hereby

authorised by the seller at the seller’s expense, to agree

special terms for payments of the Total Amount Due, to

remove, store and insure the Lot sold, to settle claims

made by or against the buyer on such terms as the

Auctioneer shall in its absolute discretion think fit, to

take such steps as are necessary to collect monies due

by the buyer to the seller and, if necessary, to rescind

the sale and refund money to the buyer.

Sale shall be paid to such seller in Euro unless it was

agreed with the seller prior to the auction that the Pro-

ceeds of Sale would be paid in a currency (other than

of Sale shall be paid by the Auctioneer to the seller in

such specified currency (provided that that currency

subject to a commission of 10% of the Auctioneer’s

latest estimate of the auction price of the Lot withdrawn

together with VAT thereon and any expenses incurred

by the Auctioneer in relation to the Lot. All commission

be removed.

Unsold Lots

32. Where any Lot fails to sell at auction the Auctioneer

shall notify the seller accordingly and (in the absence of

agreement between the seller

and the Auctioneer to the contrary) such Lot may, in

the absolute discretion of the Auctioneer, be re-entered

in the next suitable auction unless instructions are

received from the seller to the contrary, otherwise such

Lots must be collected at the seller’s expense within the

period of thirty (30) days of such notification from the

Auctioneer. Upon the expiry of such period the Auction-

eer shall have the right to sell such Lots by public auc-

tion or private sale and on such terms as the Auctioneer

in its sole discretion may think fit. The Auctioneer shall

be entitled to deduct from the price received for such

Lots any sums owing to the Auctioneer in respect of

such Lots including without limitation removal, storage

and insurance expenses, any commission and expenses

due in respect of the prior auction and commission
