DAY 2 of Three-Day General Auction

Buyers Policy for General Auctions 1. BEFORE THE SALE 1.1 Agent for the seller Unless otherwise agreed, Cadmore Auctions Ltd, hereafter referred to as ?C.A? acts as agent for the seller. The contract for sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer. 1.2 Definitions For the purposes of the current Terms and Conditions, the Seller shall be defined as the owner of the Goods. It is implied that the Seller is the legitimate owner and is authorised to sell the Lot. The Bidder is any registered person participating in the auction, and the Buyer is the successful Bidder for a particular Lot. The Lot means the item(s) put up for sale by C.A and to which the present Terms and Conditions apply. 1.3 Catalogue descriptions any representation in any catalogue or otherwise as to the origin, date, age, attribution, genuineness or estimated selling price of any lot is a statement of opinion only. Such statements do not constitute a representation warranty or assumption of liability by C.A in relation to the Lot. Any prospective Buyer should satisfy themselves prior to the sale as to the reliability of the catalogue description. The absence of mention related to prior restorations in the Catalogue descriptions does not imply that the good is exempt thereof. Photographs of any Lot provided by C.A are for indicative purposes only and are not deemed to be a precise representation of the said Lot. The Buyer is advised to seek independent expert advice in order to be assured of the authenticity and true state of the good. 1.4 Inspection Prior to auction, prospective purchasers are strongly advised to personally examine personally any property in which they are interested to satisfy themselves in relation to matters which may concern them. 1.5 Condition report, C.A may issue a Condition Report on request prior to the sale. This Condition Report is for identification purposes only and cannot be considered as giving a precise account of the Lot?s true state. Thus, some imperfections and faults may not be accounted for in the Condition Report. As aforementioned, and in the absence of any contractual value of the Condition report, it is the Buyer?s sole duty to inspect in person the Lot in order be assured of its true condition and C.A shall not be responsible for assertions within the Condition Report hereto. 1.6 Electricals, All electrical items are sold as seen and C.A offers no guarantee as to the working condition of such items or their safety. It is the Buyer?s duty to take necessary steps to be assured that the Lot is safe for normal use. 1.7 Estimates are based on various factors inherent to the situation of the market at the time of the sale, as well as considerations such as the condition, rarity, or quality of the item etc. Estimates are only indicative and represent the opinion of C.A. Estimates provided by C.A cannot constitute a guarantee as to the value of the good. Subsequently, goods may sell at prices lower or higher than the provided estimates. 1.8 Reserves, Many Lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum sale price. The reserve will never exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. C.A may open the bidding on any Lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller, and may in their discretion continue to bid up to the reserve price. This can be achieved by bidding in response to other bidders or alternatively by placing consecutive bids. 1.9 Registration to the sale New bidders will need to register prior to the sale. It is strongly advised bidders register at least 24 hours before the sale. Registration thereafter shall be at the auctioneer?s entire discretion. International bidders may be required to register 48 hours before the sale and to submit bank details. A deposit may be requested prior to each sale. Failure to register shall result in the impossibility for the bidder to purchase a Lot. 1.10 Proof of identity Bidders not previously known to C.A will be required to provide: Official proof of identity in the form of a passport or photocard driving licence. No other forms of ID are acceptable. ? Proof of address of main residence. Only official documents showing name and address will be accepted. ? Both landline and mobile telephone numbers ?

Commission bids shall be executed at the lowest possible price, subject to competing bids and reserves. Although C.A will endeavour to inform Buyers, it is the Buyer?s responsibility to check if they have been successful in purchasing a Lot. In the event of multiple commissions at the same price, the commission set at the older date shall be taken into account. 2.4 Telephone bids, If a bidder is not able to attend in person an auction, C.A will use reasonable efforts to contact prospective Buyers who make arrangements prior to commencement of the sale to bid by telephone.
