TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE - BUYER

This document acts to confirm the terms and conditions under which Dore & Rees, acting as agent, will sell Lots by auction to Buyers on behalf of Sellers.

1. Our Status

a. We act as agent to sell the Lots on the Seller’s behalf by auction.

b. You will pay the Hammer Price, with Buyer’s Premium at 25% of the Hammer Price (except Classic Car auctions with Buyer's Premium at 10% of the Hammer Price) together with VAT at the prevailing rate and any applicable charges within 5 working days following the Auction in which the Lots are purchased by you.

c. We will always treat your data with care, personal details are held securely and will not be sold. Our Privacy statement is available at www.doreandrees.com/privacy-data-policy

2. The Estimate

a. The estimate is a guide to help you gauge how much you might have to spend to purchase the Lot.

b. Estimates can change, they are not definitive and should not be thought of as the sale price.

c. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT at the prevailing rate and any applicable charges.

d. Estimates may be altered by a saleroom notice or announcement by the auctioneer before the Lot is offered.

3. Buyer’s obligations and undertakings

a. You warrant to us and to the Seller that:

i. you will not bid on a Lot you do not intend to pay for

ii. you have the funds to complete the purchase at the total value of Hammer Price, Buyer’s Premium together with VAT at the prevailing rate and any applicable charges;

iii. the funds are not connected with any criminal activity including tax evasion, and that you are neither under investigation nor have you been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities or other crimes

iv. if the Lot you purchased is to be removed to a country outside the UK, all duties, taxes and licences on the export of the Lot are your responsibility.

b. If you, the Buyer, decide to exercise your right to cancel, we are entitled to account directly to the Seller for any applicable refund and we shall retain on account amounts to compensate the Seller should the Lot be damaged or tampered with by you.

c. You will indemnify us and the Seller in full on demand against all claims, costs or expenses incurred by us or the Seller as a result of any breach by you of any of the obligations in this clause.

4. Inspection of Lots

a. As we act on behalf of the Seller, we are dependent on information provided by the Seller about their Lots. We may inspect Lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them. However we are normally unable to carry out detailed examinations of Lots to check their condition in the way a Buyer would do.

b. We strongly recommend that you attend the auction viewing in person if possible. You are responsible for your decision to bid for particular Lot. If you bid on a Lot, including by telephone, absentee bid or online bidding, we will assume that you have carefully inspected the Lot and satisfied yourself regarding it’s condition.

c. Please note that the Lots (in particular second hand Lots) are unlikely to be in perfect condition. Lots are sold ‘as is’ (i.e. as you see them at the time of the auction). Neither we nor the Seller accept any liability for the condition of second-hand Lots or for any condition issues affecting a Lot if such issues are included in the description of a Lot in the auction catalogue (or in any saleroom notice) and/or which the inspection of a Lot by the Buyer ought to have revealed.

5. Descriptions and condition

a. Our descriptions of the Lot will be based on

i. Information provided to us by the Seller of the Lot (for which we are not liable); and

ii. Our opinion (although it is likely that we will not be able to carry out a detailed inspection of each Lot).

b. We will give you a number opportunities to view and inspect the Lots before the auction. You (and any independent consultants acting on your behalf) must satisfy yourself about the accuracy of any description of a Lot. We shall not be responsible for any failure by you or your consultants to properly inspect a Lot.

c. Representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion will be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently.

6. Registration, Bidding and the Buyer

a. You are required to register to bid by 5pm on the day before the auction. We reserve the right to impose a deadline prior to the auction by which you must register or by which we must receive an absentee bid.

b. If you wish to bid on high value Lots, the registration deadline may be several days before the auction in order to allow us sufficient time to carry out the necessary checks.

c. We reserve the right to require deposits at the point of Registration on high value Lots. Deposits are refundable after the auction if you are not a successful Bidder.

d. Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the Registration Form.

e. Absentee bids may be left with us in writing indicating the maximum amount to be bid against a Lot (excluding Buyer’s Premium and/or VAT and any applicable charges). We will execute absentee bids as cheaply as possible having regard to the Reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two Bidders submit identical commission bids we may prefer the first bid received (where this can reasonably be ascertained). Neither we nor our employees or agents will be responsible for any failure to execute your absentee bid, unless our failure to do so is unreasonable.

f. Telephone bidding is offered on a first come first serve basis on high value lots. Neither we nor our employees or agents will be responsible for any failure to execute your telephone bid, unless our failure to do so is unreasonable.
