f. The vendor shall collect any unsold lots within 28 days of the sale. Any unsold lots remaining after 28 days will incur a daily £2 storage charge per lot unless the vendor has made arrangements acceptable to the Auctioneer for the lot(s) to be entered in a subsequent auction.

In making a bid for any lot, whether in person or otherwise, all persons acknowledge that they have read, understand and abide by these Terms and Conditions of Sale and the bidder acknowledges that he/she has satisfied him/herself fully before bidding, by inspection or otherwise, as to the condition of such lot.

b. Each bid is an offer to buy and a winning bid forms an irrevocable commitment to purchase the lot concerned.

c. Responsibility for a purchased lot shall pass to the buyer at the fall of the hammer; however, legal title shall not pass until the Auctioneer is in possession of cleared funds in payment for that lot.

d. The buyer will pay to the Auctioneer the hammer price together with a buyer’s premium calculated at a rate of 15.00% of the hammer price, no VAT payable.

e. All lots not paid for and removed at the sale must be paid for in full and collected within 7 working days except where agreed by the Auctioneer in advance in writing. Overdue accounts will be charged interest at 5% pa.

f. No lot(s) may be removed until cleared funds are to hand except where agreed by the Auctioneer in writing.

g. Uncollected lots after 7 working days will incur a daily storage charge of £2 per lot thenceforth. Uncollected lots after 28 days, whether paid for or not, will be sold for the Auctioneer's account without further notification to the buyer.

5. The Auction Process

a. Those persons wishing to bid in person at the auction should first register at the auction front desk and obtain a bidding number. Prospective bidders who are not known to the Auctioneer will be asked for acceptable identification including proof of address.

b. Bidding in the room must be done by holding up the bidder's numbered card so that it is clearly visible to the Auctioneer who may refuse at his discretion to accept bids attempted in any alternative manner.

c. The Auctioneer reserves the right:

(i) to accept or refuse any bid(s), (ii) to regulate the bidding and amounts of any bid(s) and (iii) to rearrange, consolidate or withdraw any lot(s) or part of any lot without reason or notice.

d. At the fall of the hammer, the highest bidder, acceptable to the Auctioneer, shall be the buyer of the lot.

e. In the event of a dispute, the Auctioneer has absolute discretion to settle such dispute.

f. Lots may be paid for and removed during or immediately after the auction by application to the front desk. Payment at the sale is accepted in cash, by debit-card or by credit-card (not Amex). Personal credit-cards and non-UK debit-cards will incur an additional charge of 2% of the total amount payable (1% for company debit-cards, 3% for company credit-cards). Personal cheques drawn on a UK bank may be accepted from persons known to the Auctioneer and are subject to a charge of £3 per cheque.

g. Lots in respect of which cleared payment is not possible on the day must be collected from the Auctioneer's premises within 7 working days of notification of receipt by the Auctioneer of cleared funds.

h. Commission bids may be left with the Auctioneer by lodging a completed Commission Bid form by the deadline stated on the form. Commission bids will be executed by the Auctioneer as cheaply as possible on a best-efforts basis and without obligation and he shall not be responsible for any neglect or default in executing or failing to execute any commission bid.

i. Commission bidding is also available, as well as online live bidding, via the-saleroom.com's website and all online bids that are successful will be subject to an additional fee of 3% + VAT on the hammer price.

j. The buyer of each lot shall be the person making the highest bid which is acceptable to the Auctioneer. In the event of an equal maximum bid for any lot between the saleroom and a commission bid and/or a bid via the-saleroom.com, the bid in the saleroom will take preference. In the event of two or more commission bids being equal, the first one received takes preference.

k. Estimated values of lots are provided as a guide as to what price the lot may attain, based on previous auction results and the Auctioneer's knowledge of the prevailing market. These are indications provided in good faith but as statements of opinion rather than facts.

l. Lots will be sold in numerical order (unless otherwise stated) at a rate of between 80 and 100 lots per hour.

m. The Auctioneer does not pack or ship lots. Buyers should collect their purchases or arrange for their own courier to do so. Collection is by prior arrangement from our storage location in Edenbridge, Kent and 2 working days' notice is required to make arrangements for collection. Upon request, the Auctioneer can put buyers in touch with a shipping agent who will collect, pack and ship on the buyer's behalf. Such arrangements will form a separate contract between the buyer and the shipper and the buyer will pay the shipping costs directly to the shipper. Safe transit of purchases by personal collection, courier or shipper is at the sole risk of the purchaser.

n. All transactions associated with this auction sale shall be governed by English law.
