Furthermore, SMA shall not release a lot to the Buyer prior to full payment thereof. However, should SMA agree to release a lot to the Buyer prior to payment of the Purchase Price, full ownership of such lot shall not pass to the Buyer, nor shall the Buyer�s obligations to pay the Purchase Price be impacted, until such receipt by SMA of the full Purchase Price in cleared funds. 2.5.5 The Buyer shall collect the purchased goods at his sole risk and cost immediately after the auction has finished, or on the Monday or Tuesday after the auction during normal business hours. 2.5.6 The refusal of any approval, license, consent, permit or clearance as required by foreign or local law(s) shall not affect the Buyer�s obligation to pay for the lot. 2.5.7 The Buyer shall be and remain responsible for any removal, storage, or other charges for any lot and must at his own expense ensure that the lot purchased is removed immediately after the auction but not until payment of the total amount due to SMA has been received by SMA.

A Reserve Price, once placed on a lot, may not be changed by the Seller without the prior written consent of SMA.

In such an event, the Seller undertakes to: 3.6.3.1 Indemnify SMA against all claims made or proceedings brought against them in respect of damage or loss to the lot of whatsoever nature and howsoever arising and in all circumstances, even when negligence is alleged or proved; 3.6.3.2 Reimburse SMA on demand, for all costs, payments or expenses made or incurred in connection herewith. All payment made by SMA in connection with such loss, damage, payments, costs or expenses shall be binding on the Seller as conclusive evidence thereof that SMA was liable to make such payment; 3.6.3.3 Notify any insurer of the existence of the indemnity contained herein. 3.7 Payments for the Proceeds of Sale 3.7.1 SMA shall only be liable to remit the sale proceeds of a lot to the Seller thereof on the later of thirty calendar days after the date of the sale of that lot OR seven days after the date on which the full Purchase Price for that lot has been received by SMA in cleared funds. 3.7.2 If the Buyer of a lot fails to pay the total amount due to SMA within twenty-one days after the date of sale of that lot, SMA may give notice of this to the Seller of that lot and may request the Seller�s written instructions as to the appropriate course of action to be followed. Should SMA deem it so appropriate, SMA will assist the Seller to recover the total amount due from the Buyer.

Any annulment, rescission, cancellation or nullification of the sale shall not affect the Seller�s obligation to pay the commission to SMA and/or to reimburse any expenses incurred by SMA. 3.8 Withdrawal Fees 3.8.1 A Seller may only withdraw a lot from being offered for sale by written notification to SMA. 3.8.2 Upon receipt of proper notification of withdrawal as envisaged above, SMA reserves the right to charge the full Seller�s Commission plus the full Buyer�s Premium to the Seller as a withdrawal fee, both calculated on the latest middle estimate of the selling price of the property withdrawn, together with VAT (if and where applicable) and all expenses incurred in relation to the property. 3.8.3 If a lot is withdrawn, the Seller shall arrange for the collection and removal of the lot at the Seller�s expense within three days after date of the withdrawal, provided the Seller has paid the recoverable expenses and applicable withdrawal fee to SMA. 3.9 Photography and Illustration SMA shall have the full and absolute right to illustrate, photograph or otherwise reproduce images of any lot submitted by the Seller for sale, whether or not in conjunction with the sale, and to use such photographs and illustrations at any time and in their sole and absolute discretion.
