If Phillips de Pury & Company agree to rescind a sale under the Authorship Warranty, they shall refund to the Buyer the reasonable costs charged by the experts commissioned by the Buyer and approved in advance by Phillips de Pury & Company. 5.4 All other warranties, express or implied, including any warranty of satisfactory quality and fitness for purpose are specifically excluded by Phillips de Pury & Company, the Affiliated Companies and the Seller to the fullest extent permitted by law. This Authorship Warranty is not given: (a) to subsequent owners of the Property, such as purchasers or recipients by way of gift from the original Buyer, and heirs, successors, beneficiaries and assigns; (b) in relation to Property created prior to 1870, unless the Property is determined to be counterfeit (defined as a forgery made less than 50 years ago with an intent to deceive) and it has a value at the date of the claim under this warranty, which is materially less than the purchase price paid; (c) in relation to Property where the description in the catalogue states that there is a conflict of opinion on the Authorship of the Property; (d) in respect of Authorship which on the date of sale was consistent with the generally accepted opinions of specialists, scholars or other experts; (e) in relation to Property whose description or dating is proved inaccurate by means of scientific methods or tests not generally accepted for use at the time of the publication of the catalogue, or which were at such time deemed unreasonably expensive or impractical to use. 5.5 Subject to clause 5.3 the Buyer may bring a claim for breach of the Authorship Warranty provided that: (a) he has notified Phillips de Pury & Company in writing within three months of receiving any information which causes him to question the Authorship of the Lot, specifying the number of the Lot, the auction in which it was included and the reasons why the Authorship of the Lot is being questioned, and (b) he returns the Lot to Phillips de Pury & Company in the same condition as at the time of its auction by Phillips de Pury & Company and is able to transfer legal and beneficial title in the Lot free from any third party claim arising after the date of the auction. 5.6 The Buyer understands and agrees that the exclusive remedy for any breach of the Authorship Warranty shall be a rescission of the sale and a refund of the original purchase price paid. This remedy shall constitute the sole remedy and recourse of the Buyer against Phillips de Pury & Company, any Affiliated Company and the Seller, and is in lieu of any other remedy available as a matter of law. This means that none of Phillips de Pury & Company, any Affiliated Company or the Seller shall be liable for loss or damage beyond the remedy expressly provided in this Authorship Warranty, whether such loss or damage are characterized as direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential. 7 Bidding in the Auction Online Bids: Online bids are accepted at the client's risk.

This means that the Auctioneer may open the bidding on any Lot by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller.

The following guide provides general information to buyers on the VAT implications of purchasing property at Phillips de Pury Company (Phillips). This information is not intended to be complete. In all cases, the relevant tax legislation takes precedence, and the VAT rates in effect on the day of the auction will be the rates charged. It should be noted that, for VAT purposed only, Phillips is not usually treated as agent and most property is sold as if it is the property of Phillips. brbr In the following paragraphs, reference to VAT symbols shall mean those symbols located beside the lot number or the pre-sale estimates in the catalogue (or amending sale room notice). brbr 1 Property with no VAT symbolbr Where there is no VAT symbol, Phillips is able to use the Auctioneer's Margin Scheme, and VAT will not normally be charged on the hammer price. brbr Phillips must bear VAT on the buyer's premium; therefore, we will charge an amount in lieu of VAT at 17.5% on this premium. This amount will form part of the buyer's premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified. brbr 2 Property with â a symbolbr These items will be sold under the normal UK VAT rules, and VAT will be charged at 17.5% on both the hammer price and buyer's premium. brbr 3 Property with a  symbolbr Items sold to buyers whose registered address is in the European Union (EU) will be assumed to be remaining in the EU. The property will be invoiced as if it had no VAT symbol. However, if the property is to be exported from the EU, Phillips will re-invoice the property under the normal VAT rules, as requested by the seller. brbr Items sold to buyers whose address is outside the EU will be assumed to be exported from the EU. The property will be invoiced under the normal VAT rules. Although the hammer price will be subject to VAT, this will be canceled or refunded upon export. The buyer's premium will always attract VAT. However, buyers who are not intending to export their property from the EU should notify our Client Accounting Department on the day of the sale, and the property will be re-invoiced showing no VAT on the hammer price. brbr 4 Property sold with a â or Î symbolbr These items have been imported from outside the EU to be sold at auction under temporary importation. Lots subject to temporary importation will be offered under the auctioneer's margin scheme and will be subject to import VAT of either 5% or 17.5% on the hammer price and an amount in lieu of VAT at 17.5% on the buyer's premium. Anyone who wishes to buy outside the auctioneer's margin scheme should notify the Client Accounting Department before the sale.brbr â 5%br Î 17.5% brbr 5 Exports from the European Unionbr The following types of VAT may be canceled or refunded by Phillips on exports made within three months of the sale date if strict conditions are met:br The amount in lieu of VAT charged on buyer's premium for property sold under the margin scheme, i.e. without a VAT symbol.br The VAT on the hammer price for property sold under the normal VAT rules, i.e. with a â or a  symbol.br The import VAT charged on hammer price and buyer's premium for property sold under temporary importation, i.e. with a â or a Î symbol. brbr In each of the above examples, where the appropriate conditions are satisfied, no VAT will be charged if, at or before the time of invoicing, the buyer instructs Phillips to export the property from the EU. If such instruction is received after payment, a refund of the VAT amount will be made. If a buyer later decides not to use Phillips shipping services a revised invoice will be raised charging VAT. brbr Where the buyer carries purchases from the EU personally or uses the services of another shipper, Phillips will charge the VAT amount due as a deposit and refund it if the lot has been exported within three months of the date of sale and the following conditions are met: brbr For lots sold under the auctioneer's margin scheme (no VAT symbol) or the normal VAT rules (â symbol), Phillips is provided with appropriate documentary proof of export from the EU. Buyers carrying their own property should obtain hand-carry papers from the Shipping Department to facilitate this process.br For lots sold under temporary importation (â or Î symbols), Phillips is provided with a copy of the correct paperwork duly completed and stamped by HM Revenue and Customs which shows the property has been exported from the EU via the United Kingdom. It is essential for shippers acting on behalf of buyers to collect copies of original import papers from our Shipping Department. HM Revenue and Customs insist that the correct Customs procedures are followed and Phillips will not be able to issue any refunds where the export documents do not exactly comply with their regulations. Property subject to temporary importation must be transferred to another Customs procedure immediately if any restoration or repair work is to be carried out.br Buyers carrying their own property must obtain hand-carry papers from the Shipping Department for which a charge of 20 will be made. The VAT refund will be processed once the appropriate paperwork has been returned to Phillips. br Phillips is not able to cancel or refund any VAT charged on sales made to UK or EU private residents unless the lot is subject to temporary importation and the property is exported from the EU within three months of the sale date. br Any refund of VAT is subject to a minimum of Â50 per shipment and a processing charge of Â20. brbr Buyers intending to export, repair, restore or alter lots under temporary importation (â or Î symbols) should notify the Shipping Department before collection. Failure to do so may result in the import VAT becoming payable immediately and Phillips being unable to refund the VAT charged on deposit. brbr 6 VAT Refunds from HM Revenue and Customsbr Where VAT charged cannot be cancelled or refunded by Phillips, it may be possible to seek repayment from HM Revenue and Customs. Repayments in this manner are limited to businesses located outside the UK and may be considered for: br VAT charged on buyer's premium on property sold under the normal VAT rules, i.e. with a â or a  symbol. br Import VAT charged on the hammer price and buyer's premium for lots sold under temporary importation, i.e. with a â or a Î symbols. br brbr Claim forms are available from: br HM Revenue and Customsbr Overseas Repayment Sectionbr 8th13th Directivebr Customs Housebr P.O.

Buyers should obtain their own advice in this regard.
