GUARANTEES The auctioneer is bound by the indications in the catalogue, modified only by announcements made at the time of the sale noted in the legal records thereof.

However, there will be no claims in such matter. Measurements are given only as an indication. BIDS The highest and last bidder will be the buyer. Should the auctioneer recognize two simultaneous bids on lot, the lot will be put up for sale again and all those present in the saleroom may participate in this second opportunity to bid. PAYMENT The buyer must pay the full amount due (including the premium as stated in the condition of the sale) within ten days of the sale.
