Estimates can be subject to revision in which case a saleroom notice will be posted. The estimates are exclusive of buyer?s premium and VAT. All lots are subject to reserves. The reserve price is never set higher than the low pre-sale estimate. Buyer's Premium & VAT A buyers premium (BP) of 22.5% is applicable to all lots in this sale when bidding with Graham Budd Auctions via LiveAuctioneers. This is exclusive of VAT (sales tax). The majority of lots in the auction are offered under the Auctioneer?s Margin Scheme (AMS) and as such BP is subject to VAT (currently set at a rate of 20% in the UK). The invoice total for the majority of lots will be therefore be the hammer price + 27.00% inclusive of VAT. Under VAT rules some lots are deemed to be zero rated (ZR) for VAT purposes, such as books, programmes, magazines, newspapers etc. The invoice total for ZR lots will be therefore be the hammer price + 22.50%. VAT in respect of non-EU buyers If a non-European Union (EU) buyer instructs the auctioneer to export a purchased lot outside of the EU, then the auctioneer can demonstrate proof of export and is thereby authorised to remove the VAT from the buyer?s invoice. If however the buyer is handling the export in person or through an instructed shipper outside the control of the auctioneer, the VAT will have to be paid and then reclaimed by the buyer or the buyer?s shipper at the port of departure. Buyers are reminded that it is their responsibility to comply with UK export regulations and with any local import requirements.

GRAHAM BUDD AUCTIONS LTD AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE If Graham Budd Auctions Ltd sells an item of Property which is later shown to be a "Counterfeit"-, subject to the terms below Graham Budd Auctions will rescind the sale and refund the Buyer the total amount paid by the Buyer to Graham Budd Auctions for that Property, up to a maximum of the Purchase Price. The Guarantee lasts for one (1) year after the date of the relevant auction, is for the benefit of the Buyer only and is non-transferable. "Counterfeit"- means an item of Property that in Graham Budd Auctions reasonable opinion is an imitation created with the intent to deceive over the authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description of such matters is not included in the catalogue description for the Property. Property shall not be considered Counterfeit solely because of any damage and/or restoration and/or modification work. Please note that this Guarantee does not apply if either:- (i) the catalogue description was in accordance with the generally accepted opinions of scholars and experts at the date of the sale, or the catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or (ii) the only method of establishing at the date of the sale that the item was a Counterfeit would have been by means of processes not then generally available or accepted, unreasonably expensive or impractical; or likely to have caused damage to or loss in value to the Property (in Graham Budd Auctions reasonable opinion); or (iii) there has been no material loss in value of the Property from its value had it accorded with its catalogue description. To claim under this Guarantee, the Buyer must:- (i) notify Graham Budd Auctions in writing within one (1) month of receiving any information that causes the Buyer to question the authenticity or attribution of the Property, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons why it is believed to be Counterfeit; and (ii) return the Property to Graham Budd Auctions in the same condition as at the date of sale and be able to transfer good title in the Property, free from any third party claims arising after the date of the sale. Graham Budd Auctions has discretion to waive any of the above requirements. Graham Budd Auctions may require the Buyer to obtain at the Buyer's cost the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the relevant field. Graham Budd Auctions shall not be bound by any reports produced by the Buyer, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. In the event Graham Budd Auctions decides to rescind the sale under this Guarantee, it may refund to the Buyer the reasonable costs of up to two mutually approved independent expert reports, provided always that the costs of such reports have been approved in advance and in writing by Graham Budd Auctions.
