All persons intending to bid must register at the registration desk and obtain a bidding card before the sale starts. Only one bidding card shall be issued per registered name.

2. Ascertainment of the buyer

The Buyer shall be the person making the highest bid which is acceptable to the Auctioneer as signified by the fall of the hammer. In the case of a dispute as to the highest bid during or immediately after the sale of the lot, the Auctioneer may if he thinks fit put up the lot again for sale.

3. Auctioneers discretion

The Auctioneer has sole discretion (a) to refuse any bid, (b) to advance the bidding as he may decide, (c) to decide whether there has been a dispute as to the bidding and under condition 2 to resell the lot in question, (d) to withdraw or divide any lot or combine one lot with another or others, and (e) to exclude any person from the auction room.

4. Reserves and seller's right to bid

Lots put up for sale are subject to (a) to any reserve price imposed by the Seller, and (b) the right of the Auctioneer to bid on behalf of the Seller up to the amount of the reserve, but the Seller shall not bid personally on any of his own lots. Neither the Auctioneer nor any person employed at the sale shall bid personally for any lot.

5. Buyer's duties

The Buyer shall at or before the end of the sale (a) pay the full purchase price either in cash or by cheque up to any amount if the Buyer is known to the Auctioneer or by prior arrangement, and (b) subject to condition 6, forthwith clear the lots purchased.

7. Commission bids

The Auctioneer will execute commission bids, free of charge. Postal bidders should use the form near the back of the catalogue.

9. Inspection

Ample opportunity is given for viewing and the Buyer by making a bid acknowledges that he has satisfied himself fully before bidding, by inspection or otherwise, as to its condition. This includes the physical condition and description including, but not restricted to, whether the lot is damaged or has been repaired.

10. Catalogue descriptions

The Auctioneer undertakes that care has been taken to see that catalogue descriptions, including rarity, origin and condition, are accurate and reliable, taking into account all the information available when the catalogue was prepared, but these are necessarily matters of opinion only and shall not be taken to be statements of fact. Subject to Condition 11 neither the Seller nor the Auctioneer is responsible for the correctness of any description. Any comments on the catalogue, lots or descriptions should be made to the Auctioneer before the date of the sale and not on the day of the sale, as this provides no opportunity to check any queries.

Notwithstanding Conditions 8, 9, and 10, if the Auctioneer receives notice in writing from the Buyer within 7 days of the sale that in the Buyers opinion a lot is a forgery, and on giving such notification the lot in question is returned to the Auctioneer at his working premises in the same condition as when bought, then if, on considering such evidence as the Buyer supplies to prove the Buyers assertion, the Auctioneer decides that the lot is a forgery the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price repaid to the Buyer.

12. Property in lots and risk

The Buyer shall not become the owner of any lot, and the Auctioneer shall have a lien thereon, until the Buyer has discharged the purchase price.
