The Bidder agrees the contract for sale does not include the description, only the lot number forms part of the contract of sale. The Auctioneers hold preview days when a bidder can inspect lots offered and satisfy themselves that they happy with description and the items BEFORE bidding. Bidders unable to attend are able to inspect the condition report online, where the Auctioneers have provided one, and ask for further information via the enquiry button on the website. The auctioneers will respond via email providing any further information about the lot offered requested. The Auctioneers therefore operate a NO REFUND policy, the only exception being when the Auctioneers have provided a written condition report, and have omitted to detail a flaw in the lot. ie restoration that has been missed during this further inspection, or where the auctioneers have stated that an item is genuine but later turns out to be a deliberate forgery. In the event that then bidder qualifies for a refund they are to inform the auctioneers at time of collection or within 24 hours of receipt of the item if shipped. The bidder is to return the lot within 7 days of notifying the auctioneers. The cost of returning the lots will be the responsibility of the bidder. The auctioneers undertake to make refunds within 14 days of receipt of the lot and the amount refunded will be the hammer price of the lot plus the buyers premium. The auctioneers will not refund any shipping costs. The Auctioneers reserve the right to update these terms and conditions at any time, and the bidder accepts responsibility to make themselves aware of any updates prior to bidding.
