1.BEFORE THE SALE

1.1 Agent for the seller
Unless otherwise agreed, Chiswick Auctions Ltd, hereafter referred to as CA LTD acts as agent for the seller. The contract for sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer.

1.2 Definitions
For the purposes of the current Terms and Conditions, the Seller shall be defined as the owner of the Goods. It is implied that the Seller is the legitimate owner and is authorised to sell the Lot.

The Bidder is any registered person participating in the auction, and the Buyer is the successful Bidder for a particular Lot.

The Lot means the item(s) put up for sale by CA Ltd and to which the present Terms and Conditions apply.

1.3 Catalogue descriptions
Any representation in any catalogue or otherwise as to the origin, date, age, attribution, authenticity or estimated selling price of any lot is a statement of opinion only. Such statements do not constitute a representation warranty or assumption of liability by CA Ltd in relation to the Lot. Any prospective Buyer should satisfy themselves prior to the sale as to the reliability of the catalogue description.

The absence of mention related to prior restorations in the catalogue descriptions does not imply that the good is exempt thereof.

Photographs of any Lot provided by CA Ltd are for indicative purposes only and are not deemed to be a precise representation of the said Lot.

The Buyer is advised to seek independent expert advice in order to be assured of the authenticity and true state of the good.

1.4 Inspection
Prior to auction, prospective purchasers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested to satisfy themselves in relation to matters which may concern them.

1.5 Condition report
CA Ltd may issue a Condition Report on request prior to the sale.

This Condition Report is for identification purposes only and cannot be considered as giving a precise account of the Lot?s true state. Thus, some imperfections and faults may not be accounted for in the Condition Report.

As aforementioned, and in the absence of any contractual value of the Condition report, it is the Buyer?s sole duty to inspect in person the Lot in order to be assured of its true condition and CA Ltd shall not be responsible for assertions within the Condition Report hereto.

1.6 Electricals
All electrical items are sold as seen and CA Ltd offers no guarantee as to the working condition of such items or their safety.

It is the Buyer?s duty to take necessary steps to be assured that the Lot is safe for normal use.

1.7 Estimates
Estimates are based on various factors inherent to the situation of the market at the time of the sale, as well as considerations such as the condition, rarity, or quality of the item etc. Estimates are only indicative and represent the opinion of CA Ltd. Estimates provided by CA Ltd cannot constitute a guarantee as to the value of the good. Subsequently, goods may sell at prices lower or higher than the provided estimates.

1.8 Reserves
Many Lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum sale price. The reserve will never exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. CA Ltd may open the bidding on any Lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller, and may in their discretion continue to bid up to the reserve price. This can be achieved by bidding in response to other bidders or alternatively by placing consecutive bids.

1.9 Registration to the sale
New bidders will need to register prior to the sale. It is strongly advised bidders register at least 24 hours before the sale. Registration thereafter shall be at the auctioneer?s entire discretion.

International bidders may be required to register 48 hours before the sale and to submit bank details.

A deposit may be requested prior to each sale.

Failure to register shall result in the impossibility for the bidder to purchase a Lot.

1.10 Proof of identity
Bidders not previously known to CA Ltd will be required to provide:

Official proof of identity in the form of a passport or photocard driving licence. No other forms of ID are acceptable.
Proof of address of main residence. Only official documents showing name and address will be accepted.
Both landline and mobile telephone numbers

Commission bids shall be executed at the lowest possible price, subject to competing bids and reserves. Although CA Ltd will endeavour to inform Buyers, it is the Buyer?s responsibility to check if they have been successful in purchasing a Lot.

In the event of multiple commission bids set at the same price, the first registered commission bid will take priority.

2.4 Telephone bids
If a bidder is not able to attend in person an auction, CA Ltd will use reasonable efforts to contact prospective Buyers who make arrangements prior to commencement of the sale to bid by telephone.

The contract of sale is between the Buyer and the Seller.

The Buyer shall be the bidder at the highest price at the fall of the hammer. The sale is deemed complete once the auctioneer announces its completion by the fall of the hammer and the contract shall be binding thereafter between the Buyer and the Seller and CA Ltd.

When a Buyer purchases multiple Lots, each Lot is the subject of a separate contract of sale.

3.2 Transfer of property
Property of the goods shall pass to the Buyer only once CA Ltd has received full payment for the goods, this includes the price at the fall of the hammer as well as Buyer?s premium, relevant taxes, and costs in relation to shipping.

Purchased Lots shall be at the Buyer?s risk in all respects from the fall of the hammer, and neither CA Ltd nor their agents shall be responsible for any loss or damage of any kind, whether caused by negligence or otherwise.

Cash payments shall not be receivable for amounts over ?10,000, regardless of the payment being for one or multiple Lots. As of 2020, new directives also extend to other forms of payment where the amount is in excess of ?10,000 and this may require further information sharing covering both buyers and sellers.

Under UK Law, a licence may also be required for intra-EU trade.

Licenses are issued by Arts Council England and it is the Buyer?s duty to obtain them. Some countries restrict the import of specific cultural goods. For example, the United States prohibits the import of pre-Columbian monumental or architectural sculpture or murals, as well as any cultural goods in provenance from some countries subject to armed conflicts.

The Buyer must verify local legislation prior to the sale in order to be assured that import or export is possible.

For example, the United States prohibit all import of African elephant ivory, and any item containing parts that may merely resemble African elephant ivory must be accompanied by relevant documentation stating it is not the latter.

Worked items that are dated before 1947 are exempt from import restrictions for intra-EU trade and shall not require export licences.

5. ANTIQUITIES AND TRIBAL ART

5.1 Import and export restrictions and regulations
Archaeological goods over 100 years of age, unless covered by exemption of limited scientific interest, will require an EU Licence for export to a third country, regardless of their value.

Heat treatment to enhance sapphires and rubies? clarity and colour
Oil and resin treatments for emeralds applied in different ways, to enhance clarity of the stone

If a certificate accompanies the Lot, the Buyer must be aware that it is merely a statement of the laboratory?s opinion and in no way can CA Ltd be held responsible for any mentions therein. Such certificates are deemed to be delivered with the Lot for informative purposes only.

6.2 Estimated weights
If a stone?s exact weight appears within the body of the description, the stone has been un-mounted and weighed by CA Ltd. If the weight of a stone is stated to be approximate, the stone has been assessed by CA Ltd within its setting, and the defined weight is a statement of opinion only. This information is given as a guide and bidders should satisfy themselves with regard to this information as to its accuracy.

6.3 Signatures
?A diamond ring, by X?: When the maker?s name appears in the title, in Chiswick Auctions? opinion the piece is by that maker.

7. CLOCKS AND WATCHES

All Lots are sold as seen. Clocks and watches are therefore not deemed to be sold in working condition. Absence of reference thereof in the description does not imply that the Lot is in good condition and without defects, or has been subject to repair or restoration.

CA Ltd makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, bidders should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary.

Most clocks and watches are likely to have been repaired in the past, and as a result may include parts that are not original thereto.

The United-States restrict the importation of watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller or Corum. Such models can only be imported personally by the Buyer and CA Ltd cannot assist with shipping thereof.

Some watches may include leather straps derived from endangered species. Buyers may be required to obtain appropriate permits for import or export purposes in accordance with CITES regulations.

Upholstered furniture after 1950
According to The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988, furniture that was upholstered after the 1st of January 1950 is subject to restrictions in the United-Kingdom.
