In partial exemption from the above, Itineris S.r.l. will not refund the purchaser if the description of the lot in the catalogue conforms to the opinion generally accepted by scholars and experts at the date of sale or indicates the authenticity or attribution of the lot as controversial, if on the date of publication of the lot the counterfeiting could only be ascertained by carrying out analyzes that were difficult to do, or whose cost was unreasonable, or which could have damaged and in any case led to a decrease in the value of the lot. Itineris S.r.l. will not respond in any way in the event that after the sale changes occur in the subjects deputed and accredited to issue the expertises related to the art-works. An asset that has been restored or subject to modification is not a forgery. 26) ARTIST RESALE RIGHT: if due, the payment of the c.d. "artist resale right" (introduced by IT Legislative Decree no. 118 of 13 February 2006, implementing Directive 2001/84 / EC) will be paid by the seller. 27) These Conditions of Sale are governed by Italian law and are tacitly accepted by all participants in the auction.
