Terms & Conditions
1. Lots are put on sale by
Aste Boetto at a public auction.
Aste Boetto acts as exclusive agent
in its own right and on behalf of each
seller whose name is registered at
Aste Boetto. The seller is responsible
for the items on sale and Aste Boetto
accepts no responsibility with
regards to the buyer other than that
which may derive from its position as
agent.
2. The items are sold to the
highest bidder for cash: in the case
of disagreement between more than
one high bidder, the disputed item
may, at the sole discretion of the
auc- tioneer, be relisted for new bidding
during the same auction. When
making a bid, the bidder accepts full
personal responsibility to pay the price
agreed inclusive of the Auc- tion
Commission and all other due fees
and taxes.
3. Aste Boetto reserves the
right to withdraw any lot from the
auction. During the auction, the auctioneer
has the right to separate or
join lots and to change the order of
their sale. The auctioneer may, furthermore,
at his discretion, withdraw
any lot which does not reach the reserve
price agreed between Aste Boetto
and the seller.
4. An auction commission of
26% is to be added to the final selling
price. Goods marked '*' which
are offered by sellers not subject to
'margin regulations' (VAT paid on
only the difference between the original
purchase price and sale price) are
subject to the auction commission of
26% plus VAT on the entire value of
the sale item plus ex- penses.
5. The auction director may
accept a specific mandate to bid for
lots at a determined price and make
offers on behalf of the seller.
6. Aste Boetto may accept
mandates for buy- ing (written and
telephonic) and raise bids through
the auctioneer at public auctions.
Aste Boetto may not be held responsible
in any way for not receiving
written or tele- phonic offers or for
any errors or omissions in said offers.
7. In the case of two identical
offers for the same lot, the offer will
be awarded to the offer which was received
first. Aste Boetto reserves the
right to refuse offers from un- known
bidders unless a deposit is raised
which covers the entire value of the
desired lot or in any case an adequate
guarantee is supplied. At the time
of assignment of a lot, Aste Boetto
may require identification de- tails
from the purchaser and in the case of
referred and non cash payment, the
pur- chaser must supply Aste Boetto
with a con- gruous and checkable
bank reference: in the case of references
which do not correspond, are
incomplete or inadequate, Aste Boetto
reserves the right to annul the sale
contract of the assigned lot.
8. Aste Boetto acts as agent
for the seller and declines responsibility
deriving from de- scriptions
of the items in the catalogues, brochures
or any other such descriptive
ma- terial: the descriptions as stated
above as
with all other illustrations are purely
indica- tive. Al auctions are preceded
by an exhibi- tion in order to allow
a thorough examination of the authenticity,
condition, origin, type and
quality of the items. After the assignment
of a lot, neither Aste Boetto
nor the seller can be held responsible
for flaws with regards to the condition,
for mis- taken attribution, origin,
authenticity, weight or quality of
the items. Neither Aste Boetto nor
anyone charged by Aste Boetto can
release any guarantee in this sense
other than in cases foreseen by law.
9. The starting price relative
to the possible auctioning of each lot
is printed under the description of
said lot and do not include the Auction
commission to be paid by the
purchaser. These estimates are nevertheless
made well before the date
of the auction and may therefore de
subject to modifica- tion. The descriptions
of the lots in the cat- alogue
may also be subject to revision
via communication to the public during
the auction.
10. Aste Boetto may require payment
in full of the final price and Auction
Commission, in any case, full
payment in Euros must be made
within seven days of the assignment.
Having paid the final price and Auction
Commission, the purchaser
must collect the lots bought at his
own risk, responsibility and expense
within seven days of the pur- chase.
At the end of said period, Aste Boetto
will be exonerated of all responsibility
with regards to the purchaser
concerning storage and possible
deterioration of the items and may
exercise the right to apply a charge
for the storage of each single lot at
the rate of ' 5.00 per day for furniture
and ' 2,50 per day for other items.
Items sold off site and not collected
will be transported and stored in our
warehouses. Any transport costs will
be the responsibility of the purchaser.

and at their risk and expense,
Aste Boetto may arrange packaging,
transport and insurance of the lots.

subsequent auction, and in any case

and claims by or against the purchaser
