The starting price is determined individually between BeArte Gallery and the seller of the work of art before the auction. BeArte Gallery reserves the right to set so-called reserved prices, i.e. those below which the item cannot be sold or the owner must agree to this price. The gallery adds Buyer's Premium to the auctioned price in the amount of 18% from the auctioned gross price (hammer price). The buyer pays the cost of shipping. In some cases, it is possible to order the artwork transported in a tube to lower the freight cost. Artist decides whether this option is available. Please contact us to estimate the cost of transporting: auctions@bearte.gallery. Shipments are always insured with 1% of the total shipping cost. The forwarding is performed by an international courier company like DHL, TNT, UPS or alike. The auctioned price for the artwork together with the commission and transport cost should be paid to the account of BeArte Gallery within 5 working days after the end of the auction. The day of closing the transaction is understood as the day on which funds are credited to the BeArte Gallery account. If the payment is delayed due to the Buyer?s fault, the Gallery may withdraw the contract and cancel the transaction. At the request of the Buyer, BeArte Gallery may also send a payment link for a credit card or PayPal. As soon as funds are credited to the Seller's account, ownership of the work of art passes to the Buyer. All transactions are confirmed by issuing a VAT invoice to the Buyer by the Seller (owner of the given work). Reception of the auctioned works of art In the case of artists residing in a country other than the Buyer's country, works of art shall be sent to the Buyer's address. In the event of bidding for artworks by artists living in the same country as the Buyer, the personal pickup will be possible, but with the consent of the Seller. Exclusion of liability BeArte Gallery is not responsible for the negligence of the Seller or the Buyer and is not a party to the dispute between these parties. BeArte Gallery shall not be liable for technical difficulties arising during the auction on External Auction Portal. In the event of a dispute between BeArte and the parties, the place of settlement shall be the Court of Copenhagen, Denmark. Salvatory clause If any legal changes in the future make this document obsolete, it will not affect the validity of the other parts of the contract. / BeArte Gallery, September 2019

At BeArte Gallery the prices are always incl. VAT. The VAT is calculated from two factors: A) the seller’s VAT status: whether he is VAT registered or not VAT registered; B) If the seller is registered for VAT, his national VAT rate applies. Local taxes and excise duties, on the other hand, are not included. You have to make sure you settle these with the authorities in your home country. If you are a private individual within the European Union, you have to pay VAT. But if you deal with an artist directly, the VAT depends on whether the artist is registered for VAT. If the artist is not registered for VAT, you will not be charged VAT, because there is no VAT to be charged. If the artist is registered for VAT, the VAT that the artist must charge will be included in the price of the artwork in the sales price shown. If you are a company within the European Union, you should not be charged VAT in cases where the artist is registered for VAT, unless both your delivery address and the artist are from the same country. If you are a company, or a private person, with a delivery address outside the European Union, you do not have to pay VAT. As described above, you must pay local taxes and excise duties instead. You should check with your local authorities what taxes and duties you have to pay. BeArte Gallery and the seller are not responsible for local taxes and fees. If you have more questions about VAT, taxes and customs duties, feel free to contact us or contact your local authorities. Currency All trades at the BeArte Gallery take place in Euro (€).
