CONDITIONS OF SALE
GENERAL
1) Definitions. In these Conditions Warner Auctions Ltd, who act only as Auctioneers and agents for the vendor, are called ‘The Auctioneers’ and the representative of Warner Auctions Ltd is called ‘The Auctioneer’.
2) The Auctioneers carry on business (whether with actual or prospective buyers and sellers or consignors requiring inspection, appraisal or valuation of property or persons reading catalogues or otherwise) on the following terms and conditions and on such other terms conditions and notices as may be set out in any relevant catalogue.
3) Third Party Liability. Every person on Warner Auctions’ premises or on their designated saleroom premises at any time shall be deemed to be there at his own risk. He shall have no claim against Warner Auctions Ltd in respect of any accident which may occur or injury, damage or loss howsoever caused, save insofar as the injury, damage or loss shall be caused by the direct negligence of Warner Auctions’ employees.
4) Catalogue. Whilst the Auctioneers make every effort to ensure the accuracy of their catalogue and the description of any lot:
(a) Each lot as set out in the catalogue or as divided or combined with any other lot or lots is sold by the vendor with all faults, imperfections and errors of descriptions.
(b) The Auctioneers do not accept responsibility for the authenticity, attribution, genuineness, origin, authorship, date, age, period, condition or quality of any lot, unless they have been instructed in writing by the vendor so to certify, and in such case the Auctioneers do so as agents of the vendor and are not themselves responsible for such claims.
(c) All statements, whether printed in the catalogue or made orally, as to any of the matters set out in (b) above are statements of opinion only and are not to be taken as being or implying any warranties or representations of fact by Warner Auctions Ltd, unless they have been instructed in writing by the vendors so to certify, and in such case the Auctioneers do so as agents of the vendor and are not themselves responsible for such claims.
(d)Buyers should satisfy themselves prior to the auction as to the condition of each lot, and every person should rely on his own judgement as to all matters affecting the lot.
(e) Illustrations in catalogues are for general identification only.
(f)Any claim under any Statute must be received in writing by the Auctioneer within ten days of the day of sale.
(g) Lots on which VAT is payable by the buyer are indicated in the catalogue or announced at time of sale. VAT is payable at the rates prevailing on the day of the auction
5) Registration. Any person intending to bid for any lot shall give his name and address and proof of identity to the Auctioneers prior to bidding and shall advise the Auctioneers of his intended method of payment according to the terms and conditions of payment (see 26 below). Any intending purchaser shall appraise themselves of the Auctioneers’ terms regarding payment prior to sale.
6) The Auction.
(a) The Auctioneer has absolute discretion to divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots, to withdraw any lot or lots from the sale, to refuse bids, regulate bidding or cancel the sale without in any case giving any reason or without previous notice. He may bid on behalf of the vendor for all goods which are being offered subject to reserve or at the Auctioneer’s discretion.
(b) The highest bidder shall be the buyer except in the case of a dispute. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen, he has absolute discretion to settle it or to re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid.
(c) Each lot is put up for sale subject to any reserve price placed by the vendor or the Auctioneer. Where there is no reserve price (but not otherwise) the seller has the right to bid either personally or by any one person (who may be the Auctioneer).
(d) All conditions, notices, descriptions, statements and other matters in the catalogue and elsewhere concerning any lot are subject to any statements modifying or affecting the same made by the Auctioneer from the rostrum prior to any bid being accepted for the lot, or listed elsewhere.
7) Recission. Notwithstanding any other terms of these Conditions, if within fourteen days after the sale the Auctioneers have received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery, and within twenty-one days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneers in the same condition as at the time of sale and by producing evidence, the burden of proof to be upon the buyer, satisfies the Auctioneers that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery, then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. The seller and the buyer agree to be bound by the Auctioneers’ decision. In deciding whether or not the lot is a forgery the Auctioneers shall be entitled to seek the views of any expert or other authority.
8) Default. The Auctioneers disclaim responsibility for default by either the buyer or the vendor because they act as agents for the vendor only and therefore do not pay out to the vendor until payment is received from the buyer. Instructions given by telephone are accepted at the sender’s risk and must be confirmed in writing forthwith.
9) Private Treaty. In the event of a sale by private treaty both the vendor and the buyer agree to be bound by the General and any Special Conditions of Sale.
VENDOR’S CONDITIONS
10) Instructions. As Warner Auctions Ltd are auctioneers, all goods delivered to Warner Auctions’ premises or their designated saleroom premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by Auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneers’ discretion and accepted by the Auctioneers subject to all the Sale Conditions. By delivering the goods to the Auctioneers for inclusion in their auction sales each vendor acknowledges that he or she has accepted and agreed to be bound by all these conditions.
11) Collections. The Auctioneers do not themselves usually undertake the collection of goods but will, if required in writing, instruct a contractor on the vendor’s behalf in their capacity as agents. The Auctioneers disclaim all responsibility for loss or damage to goods or for unauthorised removal of goods and for damage to premises caused by the contractor who should be insured for such risks. Unless instructions are received to the contrary the charge for these services will be normally deducted from the proceeds of sale.
12) Loss or Damage. The Auctioneers disclaim all responsibility for loss or damage to goods or for unauthorised removal of goods unless caused by the direct negligence of their employees.
13) Storage. The Auctioneers reserve the right to store or arrange for the storage of goods delivered to them for sale either on their own premises or elsewhere at their sole discretion. They exempt themselves from any liability for loss or damage to goods delivered to their salerooms without sufficient sale instructions and reserve the right to make a minimum storage charge at 50p per lot per day for such goods (unless the loss or damage is caused by the negligence of their employees).
14) Right to Sell. Vendors will be charged for goods left on the premises if the vendor has been requested to remove them and if the goods are not removed within twenty-one days of such request the Auctioneers reserve the right to sell the goods to defray costs and storage charges.
15) Insurance.
(a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneers’ premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, theft following forcible entry and water damage (but not against accidental breakage or damage) for which insurance the Auctioneers will charge a premium of £1 per £100 (minimum 10p). The value of the goods so covered shall be the gross amount realised, or in the case of unsold lots the best bid, or in the case of no bid or goods withdrawn prior to sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneers shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods.
(b) The Auctioneers shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft or destruction of goods not so insured upon the owner’s written instructions.

16) Reserves.
(a) All goods are put up for sale WITHOUT RESERVE at the Auctioneer’s discretion unless written instructions as to reserves are received by the Auctioneers prior to the commencement of the sale.
(b) In the event of any reserve price not being reached at auction the Auctioneers are empowered to sell after the auction, by private treaty, at not less than the reserve price, as long as the goods remain on the premises or designated saleroom premises of the Auctioneers. In the event of such a sale by private treaty the Conditions of Sale applicable to a buyer governing the auction will apply.
(c) Reserves given by telephone are accepted at senders’ risk and must be confirmed in writing before the date of sale.
17) Withdrawal Charges. A minimum of 6% of the reserve price will be charged on any lot withdrawn after cataloguing. In the case of lots withdrawn prior to salel where no reserve has been set, charges will be based on the Auctioneers’ estimate of what in their absolute discretion to be the auction value of such goods. Goods withdrawn prior to cataloguing may incur charges for insurance only (See item 15 in these Conditions of Sale), however the Auctioneers reserve the right to charge a suitable fee for any work, photography, advertising or otherwise which they have carried out or contracted.
18) Indemnity. The vendor shall duly indemnify the Auctioneers against any claims in connection with any goods sold by the Auctioneers on the vendor’s behalf.
19) Value Added Tax. A vendor who sends for sale by auction any chattel(s) which is an asset of business must disclose to the Auctioneer whether or not he is a registered person for Value Added Tax purposes and, if so, his registered number and whether or not he intends to operate the special scheme covering works of art, etc. This information must be supplied to the Auctioneer on or prior to delivery of goods.
