Lots on sale and each buyer by making a bid acknowledges that he has,
by exercising and relying on his own judgement, satisfied himself as to
the physical condition, age and Catalogue description of each Lot (includ
ing but not restricted to whether the Lot is damaged or has been repaired
or restored). All Lots are sold with all faults and imperfections and errors
of description. None of the seller, the Auctioneer nor any of their employ
ees, servants or agents shall be responsible for any error of description
or for the condition or authenticity of any Lot. No warranty whatsoever is
given by the seller or Auctioneer or by any of their employees, servants
or agents in respect of any Lot and any condition or warranty express or
implied by statute or otherwise is hereby specifically excluded.
Forgeries
19. Any amount paid by a buyer in respect of a Lot which, if it is proved
within 3 years of the date of the auction at which it was purchased, to
have been a Forgery shall be refunded by the seller subject to the provi
sions hereof, provided that:
(a) The Lot has been returned by the buyer to the Auctioneer within 3

purchased;

has and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the Lot free form

was in accordance with the then generally accepted opinion of the schol
ars or experts or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of such opinion;

that the Lot was a Forgery would have been by means of scientific pro
cesses which were not generally accepted for use until after the date of
the auction or which were unresonably expensive or impratical.
The buyer?s sole entitlement under this condition is to a refund of the
actual amount paid by him in respect of the Lot. Under no circumstances
shall the Auctioneer be liable for any damage, loss (including consequen
tial, indirect or economic loss) or expense suffered or incurred by the
buyer by reason of the Lot being a Forgery. The benefit of this conditionshall be solely and exclusively for the buyer and shall not be assignable.

photographs or illustrations of the Lot purchased by the buyer for such
purposes as the Auctioneer may require.

cretion as to which bid shall be accepted.

ing powers exercisable solely in the discretion of the Auctioneer.
(i) To decide whether to offer any Lot for sale or not.

ditions of sale and the manner in which such sale should be conducted.

true owner of the Lot or is legally authorised to sell the Lot on behalf of
the true owner and can transfer good and marketable title to the Lot freefrom any third party claims. As regards Lots not held by the Auctioneer
on its premises or under its control the seller warrants and undertakes
to the Auctioneer and the buyer that the Lot will be available and in a
deliverable state on demand by the Auctioneer or buyer. The seller shall
indemnify the Auctioneer and the buyer or any of their respective em
ployees, servants or agents against any loss or damage suffered by any
of them in consequence of any breach of the above warranties or under
takings by the seller.
Commission
26. The Seller shall pay the Auctioneer commission at the rate of 10% on
the Hammer Price of all Lots sold on behalf of the seller at Irish Art Sales
and 17.5% on all other sales together with VAT thereon at the applica
ble rate. Minimum charges are detailed below. The seller authorises the
Auctioneer to deduct from the Hammer Price, paid by the buyer, the Auc
tioneer?s Commission under this condition; VAT payable at the applicable
rates and any other amounts due by the seller to the Auctioneer in what
ever capacity howsoever arising. The seller agrees that the Auctioneer
may also receive commission from the buyer pursuant to condition 22.
Minimum Charges: Each individual lot is subject to a minimum fee of
?25.00 plus VAT.
Reserves
27. Subject to the Auctioneer?s discretion, the seller shall be entitled prior
to the auction to place a reserve on any Lot. All reserves must be agreed
in advance by the Auctioneer and entered on the Sale Agreement Form or
subsequently be confirmed in writing to the Auctioneer prior to auction.
This also applies to changes in reserves. A reserve may not be placed
upon any Lot under ?500 in value. The reserve shall be the minimum
Hammer Price at which the Lot may be sold by the Auctioneer. A reserve
once in place may only be changed with the consent of the Auctioneer. A
commission shall be charged on the ?knock-down? bid for Lots which fail
to reach the reserve price. Such commission shall be 5% of the ?knock
down? bid (Buying In Fee). This commission and any VAT payable thereon
must be paid before removal of the Lot after the auction. The minimum
commission hereunder shall be ?25 per lot. The Auctioneer may in its
sole discretion sell a Lot at a Hammer Price below the reserve but in such
case the Proceeds of Sale to which the seller shall be entitled shall be the
same as they would have been had the sale been at the reserve.Unless
a reserve has been placed on a Lot in accordance with the provisions set
out above such Lot shall be put up for sale without reserve. In the event
that any reserve price is not reached at auction then for so long as the
Lot remains with the Auctioneer and to the extent that the Lot has not
been re-entered in another auction pursuant to condition 36 the seller
authorises the Auctioneer to sell the Lot by private treaty at not less than
the reserve price. The Auctioneer shall ensure that in such a case those
conditions herein which concern mainly the buyer shall, with any neces
sary modifications, apply to such sale.
Reserve Instructions
Fixed - sell at a pre-determined value, no higher than the low estimate
Discretion - sell up to 10% below the low estimate
Wide Discretion - sell up to 30% below the low estimate
No Reserve - sell to the highest bidder
Sell - sell to the highest bidder at any amount irrespective of the Lot value
Loss Warranty
28. Unless otherwise instructed by the seller, all Lots deposited with the
Auctioneer or put under its control for sale shall automatically be insured
by the Auctioneer under the Auctioneer?s own fine arts policy for the me
dian estimate, as determined solely at the Auctioneer?s discretion.The
seller shall pay the Auctioneer a contribution towards such insurance at
the rate of 1.5% of the Hammer Price plus VAT. If the seller instructs the
Auctioneer not to insure a Lot then the Lot shall at all times remain at the
risk of the seller who undertakes to indemnify the Auctioneer and hold
the Auctioneer harmless against any and all claims made or proceedings
brought against the Auctioneer of whatever nature and howsoever and
wheresoever occurring for loss or damage to the Lot. The sum for which
a Lot is covered for insurance under this condition shall not constitute
and shall not be relied upon by the seller as a representation, warranty
or guarantee as to the value of the Lot or that the Lot will, if sold by the
Auctioneer, be sold for such amount. Such insurance shall subsist until
such time as the Lot is paid for and collected by the buyer or, in the case
of Lots sold which are not paid for or collected by the buyer by the due
date hereunder for payment or collection such due date or, in the case of
Lots which are not sold, on the expiry of 7 days from the date on which
the Auctioneer has notified the seller to collect the Lots.
Professional Indemnity Insurance
29. The Auctioneer holds PI Insurance with:
Insurer?s Name: Hiscox Insurance PLC
Address:?The Hiscox Building, Peasholme Green, York, YO1 7PR, UK.
Duration of Agreement
30. Duration of this agreement shall commence from the the date of con
signment, as recorded on the sale agreement/receipt, and shall continue
in force until the property is either sold or collected (The Contract Period).
If terminated before the end of the contract period, 30 days notice shall
be given.
Termination of Agreement
31. The Agreement can be terminated at the complete discretion of the
Auctioneer at any time, subject to the 30 days notice, as outlined in con
dition 30. A vendor is able to end an agreement at any point up to the
sale of the Lot but will be held subject to charges for withdrawn Lots, as
outlined in Article 35.
Recision of Sale
32. If before the Auctioneer has paid the Proceeds of Sale to the seller the
buyer proves to the satisfaction of the Auctioneer that the Lot is a Forgery
and the requirements of condition 19 are satisfied the Auctioneer shall
rescind the sale and refund to the buyer any amount paid to the
Auctioneer by the buyer in respect of the Lot.
Payment of Proceeds of Sale
33. It is a condition of sale that payment to the seller cannot be made
unless the buyer has paid, and their funds cleared through our bank. The
Auctioneer shall remit the Proceeds of Sale to the seller not later than 30
days after the date of the auction, provided however that, if by that date,
the Auctioneer has not received the Total Amount Due from the buyer
then the Auctioneer shall remit the Proceeds of Sale within 7 working
days after the date on which the Total Amount Due is received from the
buyer. If credit terms have been agreed between the Auctioneer and the
buyer the Auctioneer shall remit to the seller the Proceeds of Sale not
later than 30 days after the date of the auction unless otherwise agreed
by the seller. If before the Total Amount Due is paid by the buyer the
Auctioneer pays the seller an amount equal to the Proceeds of Sale then
title to the Lot shall pass to the Auctioneer. If the buyer fails to pay the
Auctioneer the Total Amount Due within 14 days after the date of the auc
tion, the Auctioneer shall endeavour to notify the seller and take opinion
of the Auctioneer feasible, shall endeavour to assist the seller to recover
the Total Amount Due from the buyer provided that nothing herein shall
oblige the Auctioneer to issue proceedings against the buyer in the Auc
tioneer?s own name. If circumstances do not permit the Auctioneer to
take instructions from the seller or, if after notifying the seller, it does not
receive instructions within 7 days, the Auctioneer reserves the right, and
is hereby authorised by the seller at the seller?s expense, to agree special
terms for payments of the Total Amount Due, to remove, store and insure
the lot sold, to settle claims made by or against the buyer on such terms
as the Auctioneers shall in its absolute discretion think fit, to take such
steps are necessary to collect monies due by the buyer.
Payment of Proceeds to Overseas Sellers
34. If the seller resides outside Ireland the Proceeds of Sale shall be paid
to such seller in Euros unless it was agreed with the seller prior to the
auction that the Proceeds of Sale would be paid in a currency (other than
Euros) specified by the seller in which case the Proceeds of Sale shall be
paid by the Auctioneer to the seller in such specified currency (provided
that the currency is legally available to the Auctioneer in the amount re
quired) calculated at the rate of exchange quoted to the Auctioneer by its
bankers on the date of payment.
Charges for Withdrawn Lots

contrary) such Lot may, in the absolute discretion of the Auctioneer, be
re-entered in the next suitable auction unless instructions are received
from the seller to the contrary, otherwise such Lots must be collected at
the seller?s expense within the period of 30 days of such notification from
the Auctioneer. Upon the expiry of such period the Auctioneer shall have
the right to sell such Lots by public auction or private sale and on such
terms as the Auctioneer in its sole discretion may think fit. The Auction
eer shall be entitled to deduct from the price received for such Lots any
