To do so, the Client must fill out the relevant online form. She/he must provide the following information: full identity, International Bank Account Number (IBAN), telephone number, valid email address and confidential and personal password, so that she/he can bid. Compulsory fields are shown with asterisks, and these must be filled out for the registration to be processed. The Client represents and guarantees that she/he is older than eighteen (18) years old and has full legal capacity. The Client shall assume full responsibility for providing all requested information. The Client represents and warrants that she/he is solvent. Once she/he has provided the information, and prior to validating her/his registration to the Website, the Client must accept the General Conditions of Sale. The Client ensures that the information provided is accurate. Any misrepresentation of the facts is the Client?s sole responsibility. The Client commits to updating all her/his information. Once her/his registration has been validated, ARTPRECIUM sends an electronic message to the Client, in order to confirm her/his registration to the www.artprecium.comwebsite. 5.2. USERNAME AND CONFIDENTIAL PASSWORD The Client must choose a username and a confidential password. She/he has sole responsible for her/his confidential password. The password is strictly personal and non-transferable. The Client carries full responsibility for the confidentiality of her/his password.

Registration on the Drouot live platform is ruled by the Conditions of Use of the www.drouotlive.com website. The Client is expressly informed that www.drouotlive.com is a website that is edited by a third-party company. ARTICLE 6 - CONDUCT OF PUBLIC AUCTIONS Signing up is necessary to bid. Bids are submitted either directly on the Website or via a purchase order that is transferred to ARTPRECIUM by the Client. Any bid implies acceptance of the prices and descriptions of any Goods available for sale. Any registered bid must then be confirmed, as it is likely to result in the Goods being sold to the Bidder who submitted it. Placing a bid and confirming it commits the Bidder and makes her/him the owner of the Good when the auction closes, if no higher bid has been submitted thereafter and assuming the Reserve Price has been reached or exceeded, where applicable. Any bid that has been submitted and confirmed by a Bidder on the Website, in accordance with the Conditions of Sale, results in a remote sales contract that complies with the Conditions of Sale accepted earlier. The first Good is available for sale at the time (Paris time) at which the catalogue sale begins. The subsequent Goods become available for sale in the sequential order specified in the auction catalogue. The seller of a Good is not allowed to bid on a Good that belongs to him- or herself. When bidding time up for the lot, this lot is automatically sold for the best bidder. If there is a bid in the last minute, a 1 minute additional is added. The adjournment will happen as long as the bidders keep bidding in the last minute regarding the countdown. It allows bidders to bid again without disturbing the other lots timers. Auction may be direct (Article 6.2) or automatic (Article 6.3). 6.2 ? DIRECT AUCTION The auction is ?direct? when the Bidder bids directly on a Good for an amount higher than the Reserve Price or the previous auction. The bid increment is automatically determined by ARTPRECIUM based on the amount of the bid. In a case when two Bidders place the same bid, the prevailing bid is the one that was brought first to the attention of the Auctioneer running the sale. 6.3 ? AUTOMATIC AUCTION The auction is ?automatic? when the Bidder confidentially records the maximum amount she/he is willing to pay for the Good on the Website. The auction is accounted for automatically and is only triggered during the sale, depending on the bids placed by other bidders. In a case where two Bidders place the same automatic bid, the bid that was submitted first prevails. In the case where a Bidder makes an online bid for the same amount and at the same time as an automatic order, the online bid prevails. 6.4 ?ONLINE AUCTION 6.4.1. Participation in the online auction To participate in an online sale auction, the Client must register on the www.artprecium.com website by connecting to her/his existing account or by creating an account, as provided in Article 5 of the General Conditions of Sale. As part of the online auction, the Client chooses the sale in which she/he wishes to participate and then chooses the lot in which she/he is interested. The Client can access the following information: Title and photograph of the object: the Client has the option to download HD images and/or display the picture of the object in full-screen mode. Description of the object. Author/creator of the object. Estimate of the object in Euro. Date and time of the end of the auction. Remaining time of the auction. Option to ask questions about the object. Option to make an appointment to view the object. Option to add it to her/his favourites. If the Client wishes to bid, she/he will be requested to indicate her/his maximum bid. The Client may leave the sale and return to it by connecting with her/his username and password. The Client is expressly informed that she/he cannot lower her/his bid. She/he only has the option to increase her/his maximum bid at any time before the end of the auction. 6.4.2.

ARTICLE 11 - SETTLEMENT OF THE HAMMER PRICE 11.1. ? CASH PAYMENT The Successful Bidder must pay the hammer price. The rule is for all public auctions of moveable assets to be paid in cash. The sale is deemed perfect and the price is due upon auctioning of the Good. 11.2. ? AVAILABLE PAYMENT METHODS FOR ONLINE AUCTIONS 11.2.1. Payment by credit card Payment can be made via a payment card. Accepted payment cards are Blue Cards, Visa and MasterCard. The Client warrants that her/his card has sufficient funds to cover all costs pertaining to her/his purchases on the www.artprecium.com website. 11.2.2. Payment by bank transfer The Client has the option to settle her/his purchases by bank transfer. In this case, ARTPRECIUM will provide her/him with its bank details, to enable the transfer. The transfer must take place within a maximum period of three weeks. The Client shall provide the following details in her/his transfer order: BIC or SWIFT and IBAN numbers. 11.3. ?

By visiting ARTPRECIUM?s premises at au 17 rue de la Grange Batelière ? 75009 Paris - France. By bank cheque payable to ?ARTPRECIUM.? 11.4. ?

In conformity with the terms and conditions of the service, the Client?s payment is made in a secure environment, under her/his exclusive control. The Client warrants that she/he is fully authorised to use her/his payment card for the payment of orders made on the www.artprecium.com website. 11.5. ? PAYMENT DEFAULT 11.5. 1. Refusal to Pay If the Bidder refuses to pay or is unable to do so or if the payment is declined, ARTPRECIUM reserves the right to: ? Suspend the management and delivery of the disputed auction and refuse or cancel any sale to a Client with whom there is an ongoing dispute over payment or return of any previous auction. ? Resort to the irresponsible bidding procedure (?procédure de folle enchère?) and put the Good back up for sale, upon agreement with the Seller and assuming any prior notice given to the defaulting Successful Bidder has remained unsuccessful. 11.5.2. Irresponsible Bidding Upon request by the seller, the Good will be put back on sale, assuming irresponsible bidding by the defaulting Bidder. If the seller does not make this request within a period of one month from the auction date, the sale shall be cancelled by law, without prejudice to any damages owed by the defaulting Bidder. Resale based on irresponsible bidding for non-payment of the hammer price does not necessarily take place ?on the spot? and can validly be brought in the days following the auction, in order to check that all payments have been effected. The defaulting Bidder remains liable for the price difference. In case of resale upon irresponsible bidding, the sale is auctioned at the first Successful Bidder?s risk whereby the first auction is cancelled for payment default. The irresponsible bidder shall be liable for the difference between the two auctions when it is negative. This amount is usually analysed as damages. 11.5.3. Price Recovery Although legally distinct from the Seller, ARTPRECIUM can pursue the recovery of the price of the Good sold against the Successful Bidder and file for her/his payment of prices and charges, asking that she/he be ordered to withdraw the auctioned Good and pay a fine. In the particular case where the Successful Bidder is indebted for the price of Goods purchased during an auction, and at the same time to the creditor of the Auctioneer for the price of a Good that she/he put up for sale in the same auction, compensation shall be effected as of right. ARTICLE 12 - RETENTION OF TITLE Goods auctioned by ARTPRECIUM remain the property of the seller until full payment of the hammer price. The Auctioneer, after auctioning the Good, shall immediately receive payment of the hammer price or, failing that, will resort to the irresponsible bidding procedure (known as ?procédure de folle enchère? under French law) according to the conditions laid down in Article 12 of the General Conditions of Sale. ARTICLE 13 - POST-PAYMENT DELIVERY The auctioned Good may not be delivered to the Successful Bidder until payment of the price has been received by ARTPRECIUM in full or until all guarantees have been given to ARTPRECIUM in respect of the payment of the full price by the Successful Bidder. The delivery of the auctioned Good always takes place on site, wherever it is located at the time of the sale. ARTICLE 14 - REMOVAL OF THE GOODS The Bidder is responsible for taking delivery of the purchased Good. She/he carries the obligation to withdraw the Good. She/he incurs all removal costs. ARTPRECIUM is not required to deal with the material aspects of the removal of auctioned Goods.

Past this time period, the Good will be stored at a secure storage facility and storage costs will be owed from the first day of delay. Storage costs shall be paid by the Successful Bidder upon removal of the Good. ARTPRECIUM may object to the removal of the Good if settlement of the charges is not made in full. ARTICLE 17 - INVOICING ARTPRECIUM will issue to the Successful Bidder an invoice showing the amount of the hammer price and the auction costs. This invoice will be printable from the Client?s account on the Website. ARTICLE 18 - WITHDRAWAL Pursuant to Articles L.121-17 and L.121-20-2 of the French Consumer Code, the Client does not benefit from a right to withdrawal.
