Droit De Suite Royalty Charges From 1st January 2012 artist?s heirs and beneficiaries are now entitled to a resale royalty when a deceased artist?s work is sold through an auction house, gallery or dealer. When an artist from a qualifying nationality has been deceased within the last 70 years the Artist Resale Right regulations are extended to the beneficiaries of the deceased artist. A second change to the Right means that artists from some countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) will no longer enjoy reciprocal resale rights, and UK artists will no longer receive royalties from some countries outside of the EEA. This payment is only calculated on qualifying works of art, which are sold for a hammer price more than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 1,000 ? the UK sterling equivalent will fluctuate in line with prevailing exchange rates. It is entirely the responsibility of the buyer to acquaint himself with the precise EURO to UK Sterling exchange rate on the day of the sale in this regard. and the auctioneer accepts no responsibility whatsoever if the qualifying rate is different to the rate indicated. All items in the catalogue that are marked with (maybe subject to droit de suite) are potentially qualifying items, and the royalty charge will be applied if the hammer price achieved is more than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 1,000. The royalty charge will be added to all relevant buyers? invoices, and must be paid before items can be cleared. All royalty charges are passed on to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (?DACS?), no handling costs or additional fees with respect to these charges will be retained by the auctioneers. The royalty charge that will be applied to qualifying items which achieve a hammer price of more than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 1,000, but less than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 50,000 is 4%. For qualifying items that sell for more than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 50,000 a sliding scale of royalty charges will apply ? for a complete list of the royalty charges and threshold levels, please see www.dacs.org.uk. There is no VAT payable on this royalty charge. THE SELLER 1.

All goods delivered to the Auctioneer?s premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing, they will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer?s discretion and are accepted by the Auctioneer subject to these conditions. By delivering goods to the Auctioneer for inclusion in auction the Seller acknowledges accepts and agrees to all these conditions, and grants the Auctioneer full authority to photograph and illustrate any Lot and use such photographs at any time at his discretion. 4. The Seller warrants the Auctioneer and the Buyer that he is the true owner of the Lot or is properly authorised to sell the Lot by the true owner and is able to transfer good title thereto free of any third party claims. 5. The Seller shall indemnify the Auctioneer, its servants and agents and the Buyer against all claims made or proceedings brought by persons entitled to the Lot and shall reimburse the Auctioneer on demand for all payments, cost, or expenses or any other loss or damage whatsoever made, incurred or suffered as a result of any breach by the Seller of these conditions. 6 (a) The Seller may place a reserve on any Lot by agreement in writing with the Auctioneer. The Auctioneer shall have the sole right to bid on behalf of the Seller up to the amount of the reserve. The Seller shall not bid on any Lot on which a reserve has been placed. The Auctioneer holds itself responsible only for reserves or other sale instructions received in writing from the vendor. (b) Where any Lot fails to sell the Auctioneer retains the right to re-offer the Lot at a reduced estimate and reserve (if any) and sold at the Auctioneers discretion unless written instructions are received to the contrary.

Should an item(s) be subject to a claim following its sale by auction, the settlement figure will be the price achieved less charges and should the item be subject to a claim following an auction where it has been unsold, then the highest bid, if any, shall be the settlement figure.
