4. Description of the Service
BALCLIS acts only as an intermediary between the Consignor and the User in relation to the Lots auctioned at Auctions.
All Lots included in Auctions shall be accompanied by a cataloguing and a description, as well as images that allow the User to have a clear idea of the condition and characteristics of that Lot.
The User is informed that, since most Lots auctioned on the Platform are physically located in any of the BALCLIS facilities “Facilities”), he/she may personally examine in the Facilities the Lot he/she is interested in. In any case, the time allowed for auctioning each Lot shall not in any case be altered by the User’s face-to-face examination.
Lots shall be assigned to the User who has bid (the “Bidder/s”) and who is the highest bidder at the end of the Auction, provided that all the requirements stated in these General Conditions are met.
BALCLIS reserves the right to: i) request further references to the User in order to check out some of the information provided in the Form; ii) request additional guarantees in order to be able to bid in the Auction and iii) accept or reject bids of any User at an Auction.
Once the Auction of a Lot has been completed, the User who, where relevant, has purchased it, shall immediately receive an email from BALCLIS informing him/her that it has been knocked down, accompanied by the proforma invoice, which shall be settled within the following fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of the invoice.
Minium Bid : It is the amount from which a Lot shall be auctioned at an Auction.
Minium Selling Price : It is the minimum price from which a Lot shall be knocked down at an Auction.
Estimation : It is the price range that BALCLIS specialists suggest as an indicative price for the Lot.
Absentee bid or written bid : BALCLIS may place a bid on behalf of a User up to the maximum amount that he/she has authorized. This bid is confidential and, in any event, BALCLIS shall defend the bid without exceeding the amount authorized by this User.
All bids of a User at an Auction that are accepted by BALCLIS are binding and may not be withdrawn.
Consignors are strictly prohibited from bidding themselves or through third parties on their own Lots with the purpose to increase their hammer price instead of with the purpose to purchase them. In the event that this kind of action is detected, BALCLIS reserves the right to immediately cancel that User account, and to withdraw that specific Lot from the Auction.
5. Information about the lots
5.1. Identification
Any statement or report that appears in an Auction of the Platform, referring to the authorship, attribution, date, age and origin, correspond to the expression of an opinion that is interpreted according to the following terms, using as a model the artist Luis de Morales:
a) Luis de Morales (first and last name).- It means that, in our opinion, it is a genuine artwork of the aforementioned artist, based on the knowledge that we have about the characteristics of his work up to the date of the auction.
b) Attributed to Luis de Morales.- It means that we consider that the work probably belongs to the aforementioned artist.
c) Workshop of Luis de Morales.- It means that, in our opinion, the work was made in the workshop of the aforementioned artist by an unknown artist, not necessarily under his direction.
d) Circle or follower of Luis de Morales.- It means that, in our opinion, that work was made by an unknown or unidentified artist, but apparently following the aforementioned artist’s school, not necessarily by a disciple of him.
e) According to Luis de Morales.- It means that, in our opinion, that work is a copy made following an original by the aforementioned artist.
f) Spanish school, 17th Century (school and date).- It means that, in our opinion, it is a work made by an artist of that nationality or working in Spain and made in the 17th Century, according to the style of that period.
g) The term “Signed” means that, in our opinion, this is the authentic signature of the artist.
h) The term "with signature” means that, in our opinion, the signature is made by someone other than the aforementioned artist and without his consent.
i) The term “"Dated"”, means that, in our opinion, the date was written by the artist.
j) The term "with date" means that the date was added by someone other than the artist.
When a Lot may have a study, certificate or publication by an independent expert outside BALCLIS, the User shall accept such document and its authenticity as valid.
5.2. Condition of the Lots
Lots shall be auctioned in their actual condition, and BALCLIS shall not accept any claims regarding restorations, breakages or other damages, even if they have not been included in the descriptions of the lots. The exhibition of Lots, if any, prior to the Auction in the Facilities seeks to enable its perfect examination and study by the Users.
Likewise, the measures of furniture, works of art and objects are as precise as possible; however, due to the formal features of many of them, they must be approximate.
The valid text of the catalogue, descriptions and Lot's status reports is the Spanish version, which is published online or when appropriate, and that reported by the auctioneer; BALCLIS shall not accept any claims regarding possible errors contained in translations to other languages.
All items included in BALCLIS auctions containing ivory or coral are accompanied by a Guarantee Certificate issued by the Spanish Federation of Antique Dealers, proving that they were made before 1947.
The buyer User knows the laws on import and export restrictions of the lots offered for sale or acquired. These and other restrictions shall not result in the cancellation or termination of the sale or in any delays in payment. The User may inquire about such laws prior to the auction, by asking our Administration Department.
5.3. Jewellery
The User acknowledges that, due to the age or character of the pieces offered for auction, some Lots may not be in perfect conditions, or exempt from restorations. Information provided regarding the pieces is based on the observations made by the Balclis team. Pieces may have some damages which are not included in the description of Lots, so Balclis encourages potential buyers to directly examine the lots during the days prior to auction, or to consult any other expert of their choice to examine them.
Gems measures and weights are approximate, due to the impossibility of exactly measure them because of the jewel's setting or design. Diamonds colour and purity shall be indicated as a guideline.
Some of the Lots may be accompanied by Gemmological certificates. The information contained in those certificates is indicative and Balclis is not in any case responsible for such information or for any disagreements about its content, or for any retrospective change of mind by the laboratory in charge of its issuance.
Natural colour gems (such as sapphires, emeralds, rubies or jade) are frequently treated in order to improve their appearance, through traditional methods such as heat treatments, oils and resins. These treatments are common and accepted by the international jewellery trade, but they could affect the gems durability over time or require a special care. The User acknowledges that the lots offered may present such usual treatments, unless otherwise indicated by Balclis. The User may contact Balclis to be informed about those treatments where possible.
Jewellery lots offered for auction which include "gold" in their description are by default made in 18K gold, unless a lower purity is indicated in the description of the aforementioned lot.
Any doubts or disagreements regarding the authenticity of a lot, including authorship, signatures, period or state of preservation, as well as the treatment of gems such as pearls, synthetic diamonds or diamonds treated using the HPHT technique, shall be referred to Balclis within fifteen (15) calendar days after its purchase by the User.
5.4. Wristwatches and pocket watches
Unless otherwise indicated, wristwatches and pocket watches offered for auction are in running order.
Pocket watches and wristwatches often include very complex mechanisms, and Users shall be responsible for performing a service, setting them up, or changing the battery, if necessary, after they have purchased them.
Almost every wristwatch and pocket watch has been repaired over time and therefore they may include non-original pieces. Balclis shall not guarantee the User that all components of those watches are original or authentic. Pocket watches may be offered for sale without a winding key.
Most watches have been opened to check the type and authenticity of their mechanism. For this reason, Balclis may not guarantee the water tightness of watches offered at auction, despite being confirmed as water tight or called "waterproof". That is why Balclis recommends the User, after he/she has purchased a watch, to bring it to an authorised watchmaker for him to check it.
Many of the watches offered for sale contain components (such as bracelets) made from endangered animals skin, such as crocodiles or alligators. The buyer shall be familiar with the laws of his/her country on the import of such materials. In the event that a lot contains any components which can not be sent to the buyer, Balclis shall send the item without that component, and the buyer may personally collect it at Balclis Headquarters within a year after the auction, without any storage fees.
6. Bids
The order of the Bids shall be the following:

BALCLIS reserves the right to modify this bidding system in specific cases, and shall inform the User before the beginning of the pertinent Auction.
7. Responsibility
BALCLIS acts only as an intermediary between the Consignor and the User and therefore assumes no responsibility for any information or statement about the Lots related, by way of example, with the author, authenticity, origin, age, measures and current condition of the Lot, and it is the User who shall make his/her own judgement or opinion regarding the Lots before the closing of the Auction.
BALCLIS shall only be responsible for damages, flaws or losses that the Lot might have suffered while it is in the Facilities after having been purchased by the User and he/she has paid the corresponding invoice. In this respect, once the Lot has left the Facilities, BALCLIS shall not be responsible for its condition and therefore assumes no responsibility for any damages or loss of the Lot during its transportation to the destination indicated by the User, in the event that he/she decides to contract such transportation service.
Under no circumstances may indemnities or compensation be claimed on items that, having been auctioned or tendered, have been lost, seized from or in the Auction, removed from the Auction or canceled, expressly limiting the amount to be returned to the purchasing User to the amount the item was auctioned for.
The User agrees to use the Service only for the purpose for which it was created and to act in accordance with the current legislation and the terms of these General Conditions, and he/she is informed that in case of breach thereof, BALCLIS may cancel or remove the User's account without prior notice or right to any compensations whatsoever.
8. Cancellation of a purchase
A User who has purchased a Lot may cancel and settle the purchase thereof within a maximum of fifteen (15) calendar days after the date of the knock down at Auction, but only in such cases where there is a justification or reason for the non-authenticity of the good or object of the Lot.
In the event that BALCLIS had already delivered that Lot to the User, it shall be returned in the same conditions in which it was delivered. BALCLIS reserves the right to cancel the User's account in the event that he/she seeks to cancel the purchase of a Lot for any reason other than the aforementioned.
In the event that the purchase of a Lot is cancelled as stated in this paragraph, BALCLIS shall return to the User the amount paid for that Lot, including the Commission and the taxes paid by the User, but not the expenses associated with packing, transport or insurance of the Lot that the User might have purchased, if any.
9. Incidents during the Auction
If any connectivity incident related to the Service occurred, it shall be notified as soon as possible to the Users.
BALCLIS, in such cases, reserves the right to extend the timeframe for the Auction affected by this incident, in order to guarantee the access to it by all Users affected or, if so deemed, it may cancel the Auction affected.
In any case, BALCLIS shall not be responsible for incidents, errors or damages caused in the Auctions of the Platform that may arise from technical problems or due to force majeure.
10. Commission
After the knocking down of a Lot at an Auction, BALCLIS shall send a proforma invoice to the User who has purchased it. BALCLIS shall be entitled to charge a commission of 18% on the hammer price of the Lot (the “Commission”).
21% VAT shall be added to that Commission.
11. Invoice and payment method

Once the Lot has left the Facilities, BALCLIS is not liable for its condition, so it is the User the sole responsible for any damage that the Lot may suffer during the transportation.
