Terms & Conditions

Conditions of Sale This notice is addressed by Cooee Art MarketPlace to any person who may be interested in a Lot, including registered Bidders and potential Bidders (including any eventual Buyer of the Lot). 1. OUR ROLE In its role Cooee Art MarketPlace acts solely for and in the interests of the Seller. Our job is to sell the Lot at the highest price obtainable at the Sale to a Bidder. 2.

LOTS Lots are sold to the Buyer on an "as is" basis, with all faults and imperfections. It is your responsibility to examine any Lot in which you are interested. 4. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS AND ESTIMATES AND CONDITON Estimates are printed beside the Entry in the catalogue. They are an expression of Cooee Art MarketPlace's opinion of the range where Cooee Art MarketPlace thinks the Hammer Price for the Lot is likely to be; it is not an Estimate of value. In respect of most Lots, we will produce a Condition Report regarding the Lot's physical condition upon request. Cooee Art MarketPlace is not entering into a contract with you in respect of the Condition Report and accordingly does not assume responsibility to you in respect of it.

In all cases you must provide proof of identity, and your intended method of payment. 6. REGISTRATION We may refuse entry and registration to our Website and our Sale and expressly reserve the right not to grant a Paddle to any applicant. 7. WINNING BIDS The Buyer will be the Bidder who makes the highest bid for any Lot providing this bid equals or exceeds the Reserve set prior to the sale by the seller as per their contract with Cooee Art Marketplace. 8.
