You will indemnify us and the Seller in full on demand against all claims, costs or expenses incurred by us or the Seller as a result of any breach by you of any of the obligations in this clause. 4. Inspection of Lots a. As we act on behalf of the Seller, we are dependent on information provided by the Seller about their Lots. We may inspect Lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them.

If you bid on a Lot, including by telephone, absentee bid or online bidding, we will assume that you have carefully inspected the Lot and satisfied yourself regarding it?s condition. c. Please note that the Lots (in particular second hand Lots) are unlikely to be in perfect condition. Lots are sold ?as is? (i.e. as you see them at the time of the auction). Neither we nor the Seller accept any liability for the condition of second-hand Lots or for any condition issues affecting a Lot if such issues are included in the description of a Lot in the auction catalogue (or in any saleroom notice) and/or which the inspection of a Lot by the Buyer ought to have revealed. 5.
