PURCHASE CONDITIONS AT AN AUCTION

ARTICLE 1 - REGISTRATION

a. In order to be considered a buyer or a potential buyer, the registration is necessary

before the auction starts and the bidding number is assigned. In order to register, the

potential buyer must be of legal majority and supply the information regarding his/her

civil and tax identification, as well as his/her address and phone number, and stating upon

registration that he/she knows and accepts the present terms and conditions.

b. VERITAS may require the presentation of a valid and original document for identification.

c. VERITAS considers that the potential buyer acts on his/her own behalf, except when as

a representative of a third party, in which case a valid power of attorney must be provided.

ARTICLE 2 - RIGHT OF ADMISSION

a. VERITAS reserves the right of admission, presence, or registration at their auctions, as

well as the right to ignore any bid that has not adequately complied to these terms and

conditions, namely in regards to payment obligations and picking up the goods bought

at previous auctions.

b. PA guarantee for the amount and method of payment can be requested at any time to

any potential buyer.

ARTICLE 3 - BIDDING AND BUYING

a. VERITAS considers that the best way to participate in an auction is for the potential

buyer to be physically present, except when the auction is held exclusively online. If this is

not possible, there are two alternatives available to participate in the auction:

i. Written bidding, without adversely affecting what is anticipated on the previous articles,

the auctioneer can bid on behalf and at the expense of the potential buyers who explicitly

request it on an adequate form that should be filled in according to the instructions there

listed, as long as this form is received at least 3(three) hours before the auction starts;

ii. Bidding by phone, which can be requested by the buyer, by previously indicating which

lots he/she wants to bid on the phone, as well as indicating the telephone number(s)

through which he/she can be contacted with a minimum of a 3(three) hour notice before

the auction starts. A phone bid implies that the buyer is committed to at least cover the

minimum estimate on the portfolio. If it is not possible, for any reason, to call the potential

buyer on the phone, VERITAS reserves the right to bid on his/her behalf for the minimum

value on the portfolio for that (those) specific lot(s).

b. The services mentioned on this article, specifically the written and phone bidding service,

are provided as a courtesy to potential buyers who cannot attend the auction, and

are as such classified and free of charge.

c. Despite what is mentioned above, VERITAS, as well as its employees, representatives,

or co-operators, must not be held accountable for any mistake, error, or failure that may

occur, even if it is their fault.

d. VERITAS cannot act on its own behalf as a buyer at an auction.

e. VERITAS considers a buyer to be the person who has registered or is adequately represented

by a third party, bids and buys for the highest bid, in which case the auctioneer

must decide with an utter discretionary power upon any doubt that arises during the auction,

and he/she can withdraw or put back in auction any lot.

f. In an exclusively held online auction, all registered bids made by online bidders are purchase

and sale contracts and are considered final and binding. Should two bidders make

an equal maximum offer, only the first one received by VERITAS shall be valid.

ARTICLE 4 - RISING BIDS

a. With an utter and complete discretionary power, it is up to VERITAS to decide the

amount added between bids for each lot, though it must never exceed the previous bid by

more than 10%, nor can he/she accept a bid below €10.

b. The auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid that does not exceed the previous bid

in at least 5%.

c. In an exclusively held online auction, the increments required for each bid are indicated

in the bidding interface and lower bids will not be accepted.

ARTICLE 5 - CONDITION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE LOTS

The lots taken to auction will be bought where and in the condition they are in, and it is

the potential buyer's responsibility to analyse their condition during their public exhibition

on the days before the auction, as well as how accurate the description on the portfolio,

references to possible restorations, flaws, faults, and imperfections.

ARTICLE 6 - PAYMENT AND PICKING UP THE ACQUIRED LOTS

total amount due for buying the goods, i.e., the final bid amount, plus a 18% commission,

plus VAT according to the Special Arrangements for Sale by Public Auction.

b. The buyer is committed to pay as per the previous condition, and also to pick up the

goods up to 5(five) business days after the purchase takes place; a deposit of 30% may be

required upon purchase, if there is not a guarantee to cover it already.

c. Once these 5(five) business days are through, the auctioneer reserves the right to

charge interest at the legal rate for commercial transactions.

d. The lots purchased by the buyer can only be picked up once the total amount is paid

to the auctioneer.

ARTICLE 7 - OWNERSHIP OF THE PURCHASED GOODS OR LOTS

a. The ownership of the purchased good or lot is only transferred to the buyer once the

auctioneer is paid the total amount in cash, certified check, or bank transfer. In case the

payment is made with a non-certified check, the total amount is only considered paid for

once the check is credited, no matter if the good or lot is already with the buyer, or not.

b. While the ownership transfer conditions mentioned above are not verified, the lot remains

property of the seller.

ARTICLE 8 - PICK-UP AND TRANSPORTATION OF THE PURCHASED GOODS OR LOTS

a. Handling, packaging, picking up, and transportation of the purchased lot(s) are the

buyer's sole responsibility. As such, any support provided or mediated by VERITAS, their

employees, representatives, or cooperators, is a courtesy, with the permission of the

buyer, and under his utter and complete responsibility, and VERITAS must not be held

accountable for any sort of damage, even if it is the consequence of neglect.

b. 5(five) business days after the purchase, if the goods have not been picked up by the

buyer, he/she will be accountable for any loss or damage that may occur to it. The buyer

is also accountable for all the expenses of applicable removal, storage, and/or insurance.

c. In case the good is partially or completely paid for, but has not been picked up within

5(five) business days as mentioned above, and a loss or damage of the good occurs,

including theft or robbery, the buyer is only entitled to receiving the amount paid to date

for the good, and there is no place for a compensation or interest.

ARTICLE 9 - LACK OF PAYMENT OR MISSED COLLECTION OF GOODS OR LOTS ACQUIRED

a. If the buyer does not pay the total amount due to the auctioneer within 21 (twenty-one) days after the purchase, VERITAS may, at any time, demand compensation on its own behalf or on behalf of the vendor and without the buyer being able to claim any compensation or indemnity for this fact, exercise one or more of the following rights, as long as they are not incompatible:

i. Take legal action for the collection of the total amount due;

ii. Terminate the contract on the grounds of definitive non-performance, notifying the buyer of this fact, without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph c. below;

vi. The above mentioned situations must be understood without harm of any other rights that VERITAS may have, including the right to claim interest and expenses on handling, packaging, removal, transportation, and insurance of the goods.

b. The defaulting buyer, who has not collected the acquired lot(s) even though they have paid for them, will be the only one responsible for all the costs related with handling, packaging, removal, transportation, storage, and insurance of the goods, and VERITAS can decide if the storage will be done in its own warehouses or in others.

c. In the case foreseen in sub-paragraph a. ii., VERITAS can make use of all the amounts delivered by the buyer as a down payment and/or principle of payment, without prejudice of the right to compensation for the exceeding damage, namely to reimburse costs and expenses incurred, payment of interests and commissions, among others, for which VERITAS reserves the right to take legal action for the collection of the total amount due.
