2. In these Terms and Conditions of Sale, MacDougall Arts Ltd. – who act as agents for the vendor unless specified otherwise in the catalogue for the auction in question – are called “MacDougall’s”, or “us”; and the representative of MacDougall Arts Ltd. conducting the auction is called “The Auctioneer”.

3. All bids for a lot at an auction shall be considered an offer for that lot, which the Auctioneer can accept or reject in accordance with clauses 9 and 15 of these Terms and Conditions. The Hammer price means the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer for the lot. The purchase price payable by the buyer shall be the aggregate of the Hammer price and the Buyer’s premium (plus any VAT chargeable on the Hammer price and Buyer’s premium, whenever applicable). The NET of VAT Buyer’s premium is at a rate of 27% on up to and including £800,000; 20% on any amount in between £800,000 and £3,800,000 inclusive; and at a rate of 14.5% on any remaining amount above £3,800,000 of the Hammer price. All prices are quoted in UK Pounds Sterling. The Buyer’s Premium and all other charges payable to us by the Buyer are subject to VAT at the prevailing rate, currently 20%.

The charge for the Buyer’s premium will be shown on the invoice inclusive of VAT on the charges described above, which must not be detailed separately and may not be reclaimed as input tax.
5. For lots marked with a dagger (†) normal VAT rules apply, and the standard rate of 20% VAT will be charged on both Hammer price and Buyer’s premium.
6. Ω symbol indicates 20% Import Duty Charge applies.
7. Items marked with an asterisk (*) have been imported from outside the UK. A 5% duty will be added to the Hammer price to cover Import VAT. For artworks originating in Russia and Belarus, additional UK duties of 35% might be applicable if an artwork was exported out of Russia or Belarus after 24th March 2022 (subject to evidence of exemption). UK VAT-registered buyers should note that neither Import Duty nor the VAT on the Buyer’s premium can be refunded or claimed against VAT.
8. Items marked with the "◎" symbol are stored outside the UK. Buyers collecting purchases in the UK should note that an additional 5% Import Duty will be due for clearing the work into free circulation if shipped into the UK.

It's the sole responsibility of the buyer to comply with all export and import regulations relating to his purchases and also to obtain any relevant export and/or import licence(s). The need for export/import licences varies from country to country and bidders should familiarise themselves with all relevant local requirements before placing bids.
Droit de suite (Artist’s resale right)
9. Some works will be subject to Droit de Suite (Artist’s Resale Right) and will be indicated with a “§” mark in the catalogue or otherwise notified.

Buyers will be charged an amount equal to this resale royalty where it applies. These resale royalties are not subject to VAT and do not apply when the Hammer price is less than 1,000 GBP.

Economic Sanctions Disclaimer
24. The United Kingdom, United States and the European Union maintain economic and trade sanctions against targeted foreign countries, groups and organisations. There may be restrictions on the export from the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union of certain items into the sanctioned countries, including Burma, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Russia and Belarus.
The current EU/UK sanctions relating to Russia prohibit the export, supply or delivery (whether directly or indirectly) of certain categories of luxury goods to persons connected with Russia and/or for use in Russia. By placing a bid in this sale, you warrant to MacDougall’s that you are not resident in, nor will you supply any purchased lot to Russian Federation or to any person connected with Russia and/or for use in Russia. Please note you may be asked to verify your personal details and/or provide further information in form of Due Diligence Questionnaire, if we have reason to believe that you may be affected by these sanctions. We reserve the right to refuse your registration to bid in the sale and/or to complete a purchase if we have reasonable cause to suspect that these sanctions apply.

Guarantee
40. Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within one year after the sale the buyer of any lot gives notice in writing to the Auctioneer that in his view the lot is a counterfeit (i.e. an imitation created to deceive as to authorship, origin, date, or age); and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the lot to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of sale and free of third party claims; and by producing evidence, with the burden of proof to be upon the buyer, satisfies MacDougall Arts Ltd. that the lot is a counterfeit, not reflected by the description in the catalogue; then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded.
No lot shall be considered a counterfeit by reason only of any damage and/or restoration and/or modification work of any kind including repainting or over-painting.
This limited right of refund lies with the original buyer only and is not transferable to third parties.
No evidence and/or certificates of authenticity of the work provided by Russian experts and/or institutions will be accepted under current UK sanctions.
41. In addition to the guarantee in paragraphs above, a Consumer (being a person acting for purposes which are wholly or mainly outside that individual's trade, business, craft or profession) who successfully purchases a lot in an auction which is not a “public auction” (as defined in Regulation 5 of the 2013 Regulations) has the right to cancel the contract for the purchase of that lot within fourteen days of receiving the lot, and receive a full refund.
