General Terms & Conditions
ALL SALES ARE FINAL!
Estimates
Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be required for the purchase of a particular lot.
The lower estimate may represent the reserve price and certainly will not be below it.
Estimates do not include the Buyer's Premium.
They are in no sense definitive.
The purchase price.
The Buyer shall pay the hammer price together with a premium thereon of 18%.
We are, primarily, agents for the seller.
We are dependent on information provided by the seller and whilst we may inspect lots and act reasonably in taking a general view about them we are normally unable to carry out a detailed or any examination of lots in order to ascertain their condition in the way in which it would be wise for a buyer to do.
Intending buyers have ample opportunity for inspection of goods and, therefore, accept responsibility for inspecting and investigating lots in which they may be interested. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained in the Terms & Conditions.
Neither the seller nor we, as the auctioneers, accept any responsibility for their condition. In particular, mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be in working order.
However, in so far as we have examined the goods and made a representation about their condition, we shall be liable for any defect which that examination ought to have revealed to the auctioneer but which would not have been revealed to the buyer had the buyer examined the goods. Additionally, in specified circumstances lots misdescribed because they are 'deliberate forgeries' may be returned and repayment made. There is a 14 days time limit. (The expression 'deliberate forgery' is defined in our Terms & Conditions).
Export of goods
Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain whether an export license is required and whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character.
Ask us if you need help.
Commission bidding.
Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be bid excluding buyers' premium.
They will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids.
If two buyers submit identical commission bids the auctioneers may prefer the first bid received.
Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids.

(i) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract;
(ii) to rescind the sale of that lot and/or any other lots sold by us to you;

The seller warrants to the auctioneer and you that the seller is the true owner of the property consigned or is properly authorized by the true owner to consign it for sale and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.
Agency
The auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by sellers or buyers.
Descriptions and condition
(a) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot.
Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion.
We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently.
Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer nor our employees or agents nor the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded.
This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 'information to buyers'.
(b) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation.
Forgery
Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 14 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects.
If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the lot including any buyer's premium provided that (1) if the catalog description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition.
The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Terms & Conditions.
Jurisdiction
Netanya city court of law is the sole jurisdiction in any conflict between the auctioneers and its clients
We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person.
