2. Henleys Auction House as Agent

Except as otherwise stated Henleys acts as agent for the Seller. The contract for the Sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer.

3. Before the Sale

a) Examination of Property

Prospective Buyers are strongly advised to examine in person any property in which they are interested before the Auction takes place. Neither Henleys nor the Seller provides any guarantee in relation to the nature of the property apart from the Limited Warranty in the paragraph below. The property is otherwise sold "as is".

b) Catalogue and other Descriptions

All statements by Henleys in the catalogue entry for the property or in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied upon as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by Henleys of any kind. References in the catalogue entry to the condition report, including damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the Bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose. Neither Henleys nor the Seller is responsible for any errors or omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material.

Images are measured height by width. Illustrations are provided only as a guide and should not be relied upon as a true representation of colour or condition. Images are not shown at a standard scale. Mention is rarely made of frames (which may be provided as supplementary images on the website) which do not form part of the Lot as described in the printed catalogue.

All transactions are in Australian Dollars so there may be a small exchange rate risk, for international Buyers. The costs associated with acquiring a goods certificate will be borne by the Buyer. If the item turns out to be a Forgery or otherwise incorrectly described, all reasonable costs will be borne by the Seller.

c) Buyer's Responsibility

All property is sold "as is" without representation or warranty of any kind by Henleys or the Seller. Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalogue by requesting a condition report

a) Refusal of Admission

Henleys reserves the right at our complete discretion to refuse admission to the Auction premises or participation in any Auction and to reject any Bid.

b) Registration before Bidding

Any new Prospective Buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide photographic identification before Bidding. Henleys may request bank, trade or other financial references to substantiate this registration.

c) Bidding as a Principal

When making a Bid, a Bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price including the Buyer's Premium and all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Henleys before the commencement of the Sale that the Bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Henleys and that Henleys will only look to the principal for payment.

d) International Registrations

All international clients not known to Henleys will be required to scan or text a photo through an accredited form of photo identification and pay a deposit at our discretion in cleared funds into Henleys account at least 48 hours before the commencement of the Auction. Bids will not be accepted without this deposit. Henleys also reserves the right to request any additional forms of identification prior to registering an overseas Bid. This deposit can be made using a credit card. This deposit is redeemable against any Auction purchase and secure online credit card payments can be made via the Henleys website.

e) Absentee Bids

Henleys will use reasonable efforts to execute written Bids delivered to us at least 24 hours prior to the Sale for the convenience of those clients who are unable to attend the Auction in person. If Henleys receives identical written Bids on a particular Lot, and at the Auction these are the highest Bids on that Lot, then the Lot will be sold to the person whose written Bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written Bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the Sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written Bid or for errors or omissions which may arise. It is the Bidder's responsibility to check with Henleys after the Auction if they were successful. Unlimited or "Buy" Bids will not be accepted. Please refer to the indicative Bidding increments below for appropriate absentee Bid amounts (Section K).

f) Telephone Bids

Priority will be given to overseas and interstate Bidders. Arrangements for this service must be confirmed at least 24 hours prior to the Auction commencing. Henleys accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any errors or failure to execute Bids. In telephone Bidding the Buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here and accepts that Henleys cannot be held responsible for any miscommunications in the process. The success of telephone Bidding cannot be guaranteed due to circumstances that are unforeseen. Buyers should be aware of the risk and accept the consequences should contact be unsuccessful at the time of Auction. You must advise Henleys of the Lots in question and recommend a 'Cover Bid' amount should there be any issues with technology or communication via the telephone number provided. Henleys will advise Telephone Bidders who have registered at least 24 hours before the Auction of any relevant changes to descriptions, withdrawals or any other Sale room notices.

G) Online Bidding

Henleys accepts no responsibility for any errors, failure to execute Bids or any other miscommunications regarding this process. It is the online Bidder's responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the relevant information regarding Bids, Lot numbers and contact details.

H) Reserves

Unless otherwise indicated, all Lots are offered subject to a Reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold. The Reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. The Auctioneer may open the Bidding on any Lot below the Reserve by placing a Bid on behalf of the Seller. The Auctioneer may continue to Bid on behalf of Seller up to the amount of the Reserve, either by placing consecutive Bids or by placing Bids in response to other Bidders.

I) Auctioneer's Discretion

The Auctioneer has the right at his absolute and sole discretion to refuse any Bid, to advance the Bidding in such a manner as he may decide, to withdraw or divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots and, in the case or error or dispute and whether during or after the Sale, to determine the successful Bidder, to continue the Bidding, to cancel the Sale or to re-offer and resell the item in dispute. In the event of a dispute, or the Auctioneer or the Company is of the opinion that there has been a misunderstanding or mistake regarding a Sale or a Lot the subject of a Sale, the Auctioneer may rescind the Sale and put any Lot up for a Second Auction. If a Sale is rescinded, the Company may put the Lot up at a second Auction, offer the Lot for sale by private treaty or withdraw the Lot from sale entirely.

J) Successful Bid and passing of risk

Subject to the Auctioneer's discretion, on the acceptance of a Bid by the fall of the Auctioneer's hammer, a contract of sale is made between the Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the Lot (including frames or glass where relevant) passes immediately to the Buyer. Henleys shall not be liable for any breach of contract by either the Seller or the Buyer.

K) Indicative Bidding steps, etc.

Henleys reserves the right to refuse any Bid, withdraw any Lot from Sale, to place a Reserve on any Lot and to advance the Bidding according to the following:

Increment Amount Dollar Range
 

Absentee Bids must follow these increments and any Bids that don't follow the steps will be rounded up to the nearest acceptable Bid.

6. Extent of Henleys Liability

Henleys agrees to refund the purchase price in the circumstances of the Limited Warranty set out in paragraph 7. Apart from that, neither the Seller nor the Company, nor any of the Company's employees or agents are responsible for the correctness of any statement of whatever kind concerning any Lot, whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or omissions in description or for any faults or defects in any Lots. Except as stated in paragraph 7 below, neither the Seller, the Company, its officers, agents or employees give any representation warranty or guarantee or assume any liability of any kind in respect of any Lot with regard to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, description, size, quality, condition, attribution, authenticity, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, exhibition history, literature or historical relevance. Except as required by local law any warranty of any kind is excluded by this paragraph.

7. Limited Warranty

Subject to the terms and conditions of this paragraph, the warrants for the period of fourteen (14) days from the date of the Sale that any property described in this catalogue (noting such description may be amended by any Saleroom notice or announcement) which is stated without qualification to be the work of a named author or authorship is authentic and not a forgery. The term "Author" or "Authorship" refers to the creator of the property or to the period, culture, source, or origin as the case may be, with which the creation of such property is identified in the catalogue.

The warranty is subject to the following:

i) it does not apply where a) the catalogue description or Saleroom notice corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars and experts at the date of the Sale or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of opinions, or b) correct identification of a Lot can be demonstrated only by means of a scientific process not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which at the date of the publication of the catalogue was unreasonably expensive or impractical or likely to have caused damage to the property.

ii) the benefits of the warranty are not assignable and shall apply only to the original Buyer of the Lot as shown on the invoice originally issued by Henleys when the Lot was sold at Auction.

iii) the original Buyer must have remained the owner of the Lot without disposing of any interest in it to any third party

iv) The Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy against the Seller in place of any other remedy which might be available, is the cancellation of the Sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid for the Lot less the Buyer's Premium which is non-refundable. Neither the Seller nor Henleys will be liable for any special, incidental nor consequential damages including, without limitation, loss of profits not for interest.

v) The Buyer must give written notice of claim to us within fourteen (14) days of the date of the Auction. The Seller shall have the right, to require the Buyer to obtain two written opinions by recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to the Buyer and Henleys to decide whether to cancel the Sale under warranty.

vi) the Buyer must return the Lot to Seller in the same condition that it was purchased.

8. Severability

If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted and the rest of the Conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

9. Copyright

The copyright of all images, illustrations and written material produced by Henleys relating to a Lot is and shall remain the property at all times of Henleys and shall not be used by the Buyer, nor by anyone else without our prior written consent. Henleys and the Seller make no representation or warranty that the Buyer of a property will acquire any copyright or other reproduction rights in it.

10. Law and Jurisdiction

These terms and conditions and any matters concerned with the foregoing fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the state in which the Auction is held.

11. Pre-Sale Estimates

Henleys publishes with each catalogue our opinion as to the estimated price range for each Lot. These estimates are approximate prices only and are not intended to be definitive. They are prepared well in advance of the Sale and may be subject to revision. Interested parties should contact Henleys prior to Auction for updated pre-Sale estimates and starting prices.

12. Sale Results

After the Sale, Henleys may publish (both verbally and in writing) the results of Sale at our discretion, including the prices achieved for specific Lots. Unless otherwise discussed with the Buyer, details of individual Buyers will remain confidential.

13. Goods and Services Tax

In accordance with A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999, Henleys Auctions will collect on behalf of the Australian Tax Office (ATO) a Goods and Service Tax (GST) of 10% on all applicable transactions.

GST is applicable on the Hammer Price in the case where the Seller is selling property that is owned by an entity registered for GST. GST is also applicable on the Hammer Price in the case where the Seller is not an Australian resident. These Lots are denoted by a dagger symbol (†) placed next to the estimate.

GST is also applicable on the Buyer's Premium.

Overseas Buyers and non-resident Buyers in Australia will not be charged GST on both Hammer Price and Premiums under the following conditions:

1. The items are exported through a Henleys approved freight company including Australia Post

2. The items are exported within 60 days of the date of the Sale

The invoice supplied by Henleys for purchases will be regarded as a Tax invoice for GST purposes.

14. Resale Royalty Scheme

Under the legal obligations of the Resale Royalty Scheme for Visual Artists Act 2009, Sellers must provide the following information to comply with the act:

was the artwork acquired after 8 June 2010?
is the Sale/Reserve price (including GST) $1,000 or more?
is the artist from Australia or a country listed in the Regulations to the Act?
is the artist alive, or deceased less than 70 years?

The Seller:

i) acknowledges that he or she understands his or her legal obligations under the Resale Royalty for Visual Artists Act 2009 (the Act);

ii) undertakes to comply with all requirements of the Act, including by providing its agent, the company, with accurate information sufficient for compliance with sections 28 and 29 of the Act;

iii) undertakes to indemnify the Company for any loss incurred by the Company as a result of the Vendor's failure to comply with any of the Vendor's legal obligations under the Act; and

iv) acknowledges that if he or she fails to comply with any of his or her legal obligations under the Act, the company may provide the vendor's name and contact details to Copyright Agency Limited (CAL).

Lots subject to payment of the Resale Royalty Scheme will be denoted by the symbol §. The Australian Resale Royalty is a flat rate of 5% on the Hammer Price (including GST). The Australian Resale Royalty is payable by the Seller in addition to the Buyer's Premium plus any applicable GST.

15. Jewels & Watches

Gemstones

Gemstones have historically been subjected to a variety of treatments to enhance their appearance. Sapphire and rubies are routinely heat treated to improve their colour and clarity, similarly emeralds are frequently treated with oils or resin for the same purpose. Other treatments such as staining or dyeing, irradiation, filling or coating may have been used on other precious and semi-precious gemstones and organic material. These treatments may be permanent, whilst others may need special care to reserve their appearance. Buyers should assume that each Lot has been subject to some form of treatment and that the estimates reflect this.

A number of laboratories issue certificates that give detailed descriptions of gemstones, and in the event that Henleys has been supplied with or obtained certificates for any Lot, this shall be noted in the catalogue. However, as there may not be consensus between different laboratories on the degree, or types of treatment of the gemstones, Henleys supplies these without warranty.

Buyers should assume that all gemstones sold by Henleys may have been subjected to such treatments, and that the catalogue estimates reflect this.

Pearls

Pearls, like gemstones, are also subject to various treatments. Buyers should assume that any pearls sold by Henleys may have been subjected to such treatments, and that the catalogue estimates reflect this.

Watches

Please note: All watches sold by Henleys are sold on an "as is" basis. Henleys makes no representation or warranty that any watch is in working order. Many watches have been repaired over their lifetime and may contain non-original parts. The absence of any reference to the condition of a watch does not imply that the Lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible for, may be necessary.

Estimated Weights

If a stone has a known weight, it has been weighed out of the mount. If a stone has an estimated weight, it is an approximate weight only and has been measured by us in the mount and is a statement of opinion only. The information is given as a guide only and Buyers should satisfy themselves with regard to this information as to its accuracy.

Gold

Gold is sold in good faith that its purity is as marked or hallmarked on the object. Should an item have a gold content of 15% less than the catalogued amount, Henleys will refund as per our Terms & Conditions.

PAYMENT AND PASSING OF TITLE

The buyer must pay the full amount due (comprising the hammer price, buyer's premium and any applicable taxes and GST) not later than three (3) days after the auction date. The buyer will not acquire the title for the lot until Henleys receives full payment in cleared funds, and no goods under any circumstances will be released without confirmation of cleared funds received. This applies even if the buyer wishes to send items interstate or overseas.

Payment can be made by the following means:
• Credit card: Visa, Mastercard & American Express over the phone
• Bank Transfer/Direct Deposit
Account Name: Henleys Auctions
Bank: Westpac Banking Corporation
BSB: 033-059
Account No: 805832
Swift Code: WPACAU2S
Bank Address: 156 Glenferrie Rd Malvern, VIC 3144

The buyer is responsible for any bank fees and charges applicable for the transfer of funds into Henleys account.

PACKING, HANDLING AND SHIPPING

Collections should occur within three (3) business days of the auction. Storage fees apply outside of this period.

Buyers are required to make their own arrangements for packing, handling, shipping and transit insurance for their property. We recommend using a professional service as Henleys cannot take any responsibility for loss, damage or breakage that may occur.
