RUSSIAN ART & VARIA

Terms of public auction: By joining the auction, the Bidder agrees to the following terms and conditions: 1. Basics: Galerie Moenius AG auctions items/objects on behalf, in the name and for the account of a third party (the supplier remains unknown). Prices in the catalogue are estimated prices only. The call price is the lower estimated asking price. Currency is EURO (EUR) only. The highest bidder (accepted by the auctioneer) receives the acceptance of the bid. Once a bid is accepted, the guarantee obligation of Galerie Moenius AG shall be dissolved. The Bidder shall only receive the auctioned object(s) after complete payment of the full amount in cash, via confirmed bank transfer or credit card. Bidder cards can be charged 4 days after an invoice has been sent. 2. Payment: Beside the price for the acceptance of the bid, the buyer has to pay the premium of 23% + 19% VAT. In case of a "Live Auction" (online bidding in real time) the auctioneer is entitled to a surcharge of 5% + 19% VAT of the price for the acceptance of the bid (all bids via invaluable platform) . Buyers who file their papers in due and proper form will be able to get a full refund of the VAT of the acceptance of the bid price (an officially stamped export declaration is necessary). For items with two stars (**), the buyer has to pay 2% on hammer price, because of the German Resale Royalty Rights. If the bidder wants to pay via credit-card 3% of the total-amount will be charged. The bidder agrees that the auctioneer receives a premium from the seller/supplier. In case of late-/non payment by the bidder, Galerie Moenius AG has the full debt collection rights and is allowed to transfer these rights to a 3rd party agency. Invoices issued during or immediately after the auction must be verified; errors remain reserved to this extent. 3. Warranty: The objects to be auctioned are used. Their condition is not documented. The objects can be seen and examined on site before the auction starts. They are auctioned in the state they are at the acceptance of the bid. Descriptions and images in the catalogue were prepared in Galerie Moenius AG's best knowledge and belief, but meant for information only. Potential buyers are required to request a condition report for every work of art. This report expresses Galerie Moenius subjective assessment only.

If double-bids occur via phone, the bidder present at the auction will get the acceptance. In case of doubt the auction management has the right to decide. There is no right for the acceptance of a bid. Galerie Moenius AG excludes any liability for non considered bids of any kind or non received telephone bids. 6.
