Information for Buyers at Public Auction: Parker Fine Art Auctions Ltd
This document should be read carefully by all prospective buyers. It provides important information and contains additional terms applicable to you as a potential buyer at Parker Fine Art Auctions. It should be read in conjunction with the Conditions of Sale for Public Auctions ("Conditions of Sale") which are available below and on Parker Fine Art Auctions website at www.parkerfineartauctions.com or will be provided upon request. Terms used in this document shall have the same meaning as defined in the Conditions of Sale (below).
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 All of our auctions and sales are conducted on our printed Auction Terms and Conditions, which include Conditions of Sale for Public Auctions and the terms set out in this document.
1.2 Any particular auction and/or any particular Lot in an auction may be subject to different or additional terms which will be published in our auction catalogue or separately announced prior to the auction. By bidding at the auction, you agree to be bound by these terms.
1.3 The principle of caveat emptor applies to the sale of all good sold at auction by us. This means it is your responsibility to investigate the Lots on which you bid to determine the validity, authenticity, quality and condition of such items prior to purchase.
1.4 [Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation.]
2. AGENCY We act as agents for the Seller only whose identity for reasons of confidentiality, is not normal disclosed. We cannot be held responsible for any defaults by the Sellers. Accordingly if you buy at auction your contract for the item or items purchased is with the Seller and not with us as the auctioneer.
3. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONS
3.1 Reasonable endeavours are made to ensure the accuracy of any statement as to authorship, attribution origin, date, age, provenance and condition of any Lot whether or not such statement forms part of the description of any such Lot.
3.2 Prospective buyers bid on the understanding that descriptions involve matters of opinion, not a statement of fact and is provided as a service to the Seller. Prospective buyers are given the opportunity to view and inspect before sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) acknowledges that they have satisfied themselves as to the accuracy of description and condition applied to a Lot.
3.3 We, nor our employees or agents nor the Seller, accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties whether relating to description, condition or quality of Lots, express, implied or statutory are hereby excluded. The absence of a report does not imply that a Lot is without imperfections. We are not liable for damage to gilded picture frames, plaster picture frames or picture frame glass. All Lots are sold as seen. We recommend that you always view a Lot in person.
POSTPONEMENTS 4. CONDITION POSTPONEMENTS
4.1 These are provided upon request. Large numbers of such requests received shortly before the sale may mean that reports cannot be provided for all Lots. Members of staff are not trained restorers or conservators and, particularly for higher value Lots, you should obtain an opinion from such a professional.
4.2 If a Lot is, or becomes dangerous, we may dispose of it without notice to bidders in advance in any manner we see fit and will be under no liability for doing so. We are dependent on information provided by the Seller about a Lot and whilst we may inspect Lots and act reasonably in taking a general view about them we rely on some information from the Seller.
4.3 Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of Lots contained in the Conditions of Sale. Neither the Seller nor we, as the auctioneers, accept any responsibility for their condition. All references to signature, inscriptions and dates refer to the present state of the work.
4.4 Dimensions are given in height before width and do not include the frame (unless stated).
4.5 Pictures, unless stated, are framed. Pictures will not have been removed from their frames unless specifically mentioned in the condition report (if in the event the item is unsold we must return it to the Seller in the same condition in which it was received by us). Additionally, in specified circumstances Lots misdescribed because they are 'deliberate forgeries' may be returned and repayment made. There is a 21 day time limit. (The expression 'deliberate forgery' is defined in our Conditions of Sale).
5. IMAGES
Please note the colours portrayed in the catalogue, and in additional images requested, are the best attempt at a likeness but cannot be confirmed as identical to the true colours.
6. ESTIMATES Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates may change and should not be thought of as the sale price. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price and certainly will not be below it. Estimates do not include the Buyer's Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are in no sense definitive.
7. BUYER'S PREMIUM The Conditions of Sale forming part of our Auction Terms and Conditions require the buyer to pay a 'buyer's premium' on the hammer price of each Lot purchased. The buyer's premium is 25% of the hammer price (+ VAT only on the Buyer's Premium).
8. VAT
8.1 A asterisks symbol (*) indicates that the Lot is a zero rated item and therefore not subject to VAT on the buyer's premium. This applies to bound books (manuscripts and printed), unframed maps and albums. A dagger symbol (†) indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate (presently 20%) on the hammer price as well as being and element in the buyers' premium. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because VAT is due at 20% on import into the UK.
8.2 A double dagger (ǂ) indicates that the Lot has been imported from outside the European Union and the present position is that these Lots are liable to a reduced rate of Import VAT currently 5% on the hammer price. (Ω) indicates that the Lot has been imported from outside the European Union and these Lots are liable to the standard rate of Import VAT currently 20% on the hammer price. Lots which appear without the above symbols indicate that no VAT is payable on the hammer price; this is because such Lots are sold using the Auctioneers Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VAT included within the buyers' premium is not recoverable as input tax. 9. EXPORT OF GOODS Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character because, as an example, they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Ask us if you need help.
10. BIDDING
10.1 Attending the Auction. Bidders in the room will be required to register before the sale commences and Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the sale registration form. Bidders are required to provide a government issued identity document and a proof of address. Instructions on anti-money laundering may also be required. Paddle numbers will be issued at registration which will be used only for this sale. This paddle may be used to indicate your bids to the Auctioneer during the Sale. If successful, the Prospective Buyer must ensure that the Auctioneer can see the number as indicated on the paddle and that it is their number called out. Should there be any doubts as to price or Buyer, pease draw the Auctioneer's attention to it immediately. No liability shall be accepted for failure to rectify an error during a Sale.
10.2 Telephone Bidding. Requests for Telephone bidding must be registered by close of business on the day before the sale and are allocated on a first come first service basis. Full name, address and telephone numbers will be required together with proof of identity and address. Bank and credit/debit cards details may be requested to secure the line.
10.3 Absentee Bids. Commission/Absentee bids may be left with the Auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be bid (excluding buyers' premium). We will add these bids to the Auctioneers' sale book and they will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If identical bids are submitted, the person who bid first will take precedence. We shall not be liable for failing to execute commission bids, or for any errors or omissions. All arrangements are therefore made entirely at the Prospective Buyer's risk.
10.4 Online Bidding. Bidding can be done through 'the-salesroom.com' Bidding on this site is directly through the platform where you will have to register. Please note that any lots purchased via the-saleroom.com live auction service will be subject to an additional 4.95% commission charge + VAT at the rate imposed on the hammer price.. Please refer to the individual bidding platforms for their terms and conditions. In completing the bidder registration and providing your credit card details and unless alternative arrangements are agreed with us you: (a) Authorise us, if we wish, to charge the credit card given in part or full payment, including all fees, for items successfully purchased in the auction via the online bidding platforms (b) confirm that you are authorised to provide these credit card details to Parker Fine Art Auctions and agree that Parker Fine Art Auctions are entitled to permit the shipping of the goods to the card hold and card holder address provided in fulfilment of the sale; and (c) agree that we shall not be liable for any losses, however arising, for usage of the online bidding platforms which operate pursuant to its own terms and conditions.

12.2 Once payment for Lots has been received, collection or transportation of purchased Lots must be made within fourteen days of the sale to avoid storage charges.

15. OWNERSHIP OF THE LOT
Title to the Lot (s) purchased will not pass to the Buyer until the Buyer has paid us in full the total amount due pursuant to these conditions and we have applied such payment to the Lot. 16. UNCOLLECTED ITEMS If the buyer has failed to collect within a period of two months (from sale date), we reserve the right to re-enter the uncollected items through auction, to recover the cost of storage and associated costs.

Bidders are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a Lot. Bidders also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, 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 shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently.

Pictures have not been removed from their frames unless specifically mentioned in the Condition Report (as in the event the item is unsold it must be returned to the Seller in the condition it was received by us). This Condition is subject to deliberate forgeries (clause 17).

15. TRANSFER OF RISK.
15.1 The risk in the Lot shall pass to the Buyer upon completion of the Sale by the Auctioneer.
15.2 We are not responsible for the correct description, genuineness or authenticity of any Lot as per these Conditions. The Buyer is deemed to have inspected each Lot and satisfied himself/herself to the condition.

If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the Lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the Lot including any buyer’s premium unless:
(a) the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale; or
(b) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, and in the event of clause
17.1 (a) or 17.1
(b) applying you shall have no rights under this condition.

25. RIGHT TO CANCEL
25.1 If you purchase a Lot at a virtual auction (an auction which is held online only so that there is no possibility for you to attend the auction in person) and you are contracting as a Consumer and the Seller of a Lot is a trader, you will have a statutory right to cancel your purchase of that Lot if you change your mind for any reason. The provisions below set out your legal right to cancel in those circumstances.
25.2 You may cancel your purchase at any time from the date of our order confirmation up to the end of the fourteenth day after the day of collection of the lot by you or the person specified by you for collection.
25.3 To cancel your purchase, you must inform us of your intention to cancel it. You can do this by completing the model cancellation form which can be found on our website. If you use this method we will email you to confirm that we have received your cancellation. Alternatively, you send us your cancellation notice by any other method and then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the email or post the letter to us.
25.4 If you exercise your right to cancel your purchase, you will receive a refund of the total amount due paid for the Lot in accordance with clause 7. When exercising the cancellation right, you must return the lots to us immediately at your own cost (as set out below).
25.5 You are entitled to a reasonable opportunity to inspect the Lots (which will include removing them from their packaging and inspecting them). At all times, you must take reasonable care of the Lots and must not let them out of your possession. They must remain in original, untouched condition. If you are in breach of your obligations to take reasonable care of the Lots in this clause 25.4, we will have a claim against you and may deduct from the refund costs incurred by us as a result of the breach.
25.6 This provision does not affect your statutory rights. 25.7 The cancellation right described in this clause 25 is in addition to any other right that you might have to reject a Lot, for instance because it is a deliberate forgery as set out in clause 17 above.
26. EXERCISING THE RIGHT TO CANCEL
26.1 Where you have validly returned a Lot to us under your right of cancellation described in clause 25, we will refund the full amount paid by you for the Lot.
26.2 Please note that we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the Lot, if this has been caused by your handling of the Lot in a way contrary to the conditions specified in these terms or which would not be permitted during a pre-sale exhibition held prior to an auction. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the Lot and later discover you have handled the Lot in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
26.3 You will be responsible for returning the Lot to us at your own cost.

Information for Buyers at Public Auction: Parker Fine Art Auctions Ltd
This document should be read carefully by all prospective buyers. It provides important information and contains additional terms applicable to you as a potential buyer at Parker Fine Art Auctions. It should be read in conjunction with the Conditions of Sale for Public Auctions ("Conditions of Sale") which are available below and on Parker Fine Art Auctions website at www.parkerfineartauctions.com or will be provided upon request. Terms used in this document shall have the same meaning as defined in the Conditions of Sale (below).
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 All of our auctions and sales are conducted on our printed Auction Terms and Conditions, which include Conditions of Sale for Public Auctions and the terms set out in this document.
1.2 Any particular auction and/or any particular Lot in an auction may be subject to different or additional terms which will be published in our auction catalogue or separately announced prior to the auction. By bidding at the auction, you agree to be bound by these terms.
1.3 The principle of caveat emptor applies to the sale of all good sold at auction by us. This means it is your responsibility to investigate the Lots on which you bid to determine the validity, authenticity, quality and condition of such items prior to purchase.
1.4 [Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation.]
2. AGENCY We act as agents for the Seller only whose identity for reasons of confidentiality, is not normal disclosed. We cannot be held responsible for any defaults by the Sellers. Accordingly if you buy at auction your contract for the item or items purchased is with the Seller and not with us as the auctioneer.
3. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONS
3.1 Reasonable endeavours are made to ensure the accuracy of any statement as to authorship, attribution origin, date, age, provenance and condition of any Lot whether or not such statement forms part of the description of any such Lot.
3.2 Prospective buyers bid on the understanding that descriptions involve matters of opinion, not a statement of fact and is provided as a service to the Seller. Prospective buyers are given the opportunity to view and inspect before sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) acknowledges that they have satisfied themselves as to the accuracy of description and condition applied to a Lot.
3.3 We, nor our employees or agents nor the Seller, accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties whether relating to description, condition or quality of Lots, express, implied or statutory are hereby excluded. The absence of a report does not imply that a Lot is without imperfections. We are not liable for damage to gilded picture frames, plaster picture frames or picture frame glass. All Lots are sold as seen. We recommend that you always view a Lot in person.
POSTPONEMENTS 4. CONDITION POSTPONEMENTS
4.1 These are provided upon request. Large numbers of such requests received shortly before the sale may mean that reports cannot be provided for all Lots. Members of staff are not trained restorers or conservators and, particularly for higher value Lots, you should obtain an opinion from such a professional.
4.2 If a Lot is, or becomes dangerous, we may dispose of it without notice to bidders in advance in any manner we see fit and will be under no liability for doing so. We are dependent on information provided by the Seller about a Lot and whilst we may inspect Lots and act reasonably in taking a general view about them we rely on some information from the Seller.
4.3 Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of Lots contained in the Conditions of Sale. Neither the Seller nor we, as the auctioneers, accept any responsibility for their condition. All references to signature, inscriptions and dates refer to the present state of the work.
4.4 Dimensions are given in height before width and do not include the frame (unless stated).
4.5 Pictures, unless stated, are framed. Pictures will not have been removed from their frames unless specifically mentioned in the condition report (if in the event the item is unsold we must return it to the Seller in the same condition in which it was received by us). Additionally, in specified circumstances Lots misdescribed because they are 'deliberate forgeries' may be returned and repayment made. There is a 21 day time limit. (The expression 'deliberate forgery' is defined in our Conditions of Sale).
5. IMAGES
Please note the colours portrayed in the catalogue, and in additional images requested, are the best attempt at a likeness but cannot be confirmed as identical to the true colours.
6. ESTIMATES Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates may change and should not be thought of as the sale price. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price and certainly will not be below it. Estimates do not include the Buyer's Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are in no sense definitive.
7. BUYER'S PREMIUM The Conditions of Sale forming part of our Auction Terms and Conditions require the buyer to pay a 'buyer's premium' on the hammer price of each Lot purchased. The buyer's premium is 25% of the hammer price (+ VAT only on the Buyer's Premium).
8. VAT
8.1 A asterisks symbol (*) indicates that the Lot is a zero rated item and therefore not subject to VAT on the buyer's premium. This applies to bound books (manuscripts and printed), unframed maps and albums. A dagger symbol (†) indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate (presently 20%) on the hammer price as well as being and element in the buyers' premium. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because VAT is due at 20% on import into the UK.
8.2 A double dagger (ǂ) indicates that the Lot has been imported from outside the European Union and the present position is that these Lots are liable to a reduced rate of Import VAT currently 5% on the hammer price. (Ω) indicates that the Lot has been imported from outside the European Union and these Lots are liable to the standard rate of Import VAT currently 20% on the hammer price. Lots which appear without the above symbols indicate that no VAT is payable on the hammer price; this is because such Lots are sold using the Auctioneers Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VAT included within the buyers' premium is not recoverable as input tax. 9. EXPORT OF GOODS Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character because, as an example, they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Ask us if you need help.
10. BIDDING
10.1 Attending the Auction. Bidders in the room will be required to register before the sale commences and Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the sale registration form. Bidders are required to provide a government issued identity document and a proof of address. Instructions on anti-money laundering may also be required. Paddle numbers will be issued at registration which will be used only for this sale. This paddle may be used to indicate your bids to the Auctioneer during the Sale. If successful, the Prospective Buyer must ensure that the Auctioneer can see the number as indicated on the paddle and that it is their number called out. Should there be any doubts as to price or Buyer, pease draw the Auctioneer's attention to it immediately. No liability shall be accepted for failure to rectify an error during a Sale.
10.2 Telephone Bidding. Requests for Telephone bidding must be registered by close of business on the day before the sale and are allocated on a first come first service basis. Full name, address and telephone numbers will be required together with proof of identity and address. Bank and credit/debit cards details may be requested to secure the line.
10.3 Absentee Bids. Commission/Absentee bids may be left with the Auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be bid (excluding buyers' premium). We will add these bids to the Auctioneers' sale book and they will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If identical bids are submitted, the person who bid first will take precedence. We shall not be liable for failing to execute commission bids, or for any errors or omissions. All arrangements are therefore made entirely at the Prospective Buyer's risk.
10.4 Online Bidding. Bidding can be done through 'the-salesroom.com' Bidding on this site is directly through the platform where you will have to register. Please note that any lots purchased via the-saleroom.com live auction service will be subject to an additional 4.95% commission charge + VAT at the rate imposed on the hammer price..

25.6 This provision does not affect your statutory rights. 25.7 The cancellation right described in this clause 25 is in addition to any other right that you might have to reject a Lot, for instance because it is a deliberate forgery as set out in clause 17 above.
26. EXERCISING THE RIGHT TO CANCEL
26.1 Where you have validly returned a Lot to us under your right of cancellation described in clause 25, we will refund the full amount paid by you for the Lot.
26.2 Please note that we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the Lot, if this has been caused by your handling of the Lot in a way contrary to the conditions specified in these terms or which would not be permitted during a pre-sale exhibition held prior to an auction. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the Lot and later discover you have handled the Lot in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
26.3 You will be responsible for returning the Lot to us at your own cost.
26.4 We will process any refund due to you within the deadlines below: (a) if you have collected the Lot but have not returned it to us: fourteen days after the day on which we receive the Lot back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Lot back to us; or (b) if you have not collected the Lot or you have already returned the Lot to us: 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel your contract. 26.5 We will refund you using the same means of payment that you used for the transaction.
26.6 Legal ownership of a Lot will immediately revert to the Seller if we refund any such payment to you.

28. FORCE MAJEURE
