Explanatory Introduction To Our Auctions 
The Auctioneer acts only as agent of the seller (unless otherwise specifically declared). Accordingly a seller is not paid until payment is received from the Buyer, nor is the auctioneer necessarily in a position to know the history of or asses the quality of Lots sold on behalf of these principals. In addition, Lots sold are likely to have been subject to wear and tear caused by use or the effects of age and may therefore have faults and imperfections. Buyers are given ample opportunity at viewing times to examine Lots to be sold and will be assumed to have done so. They must rely solely on their own skill or judgement as to whether Lots are fit for any particular purpose, and as to compliance with catalogue descriptions or illustrations - see Condition 8.

1. Bids 
All bids made shall be treated as offers made upon these conditions of Sale and all persons present are admitted to attend a Sale on the basis that they have notice of these conditions. 

2. Ascertainment of the Buyer 
The Buyer shall be the person making the highest bid which is acceptable to the Auctioneer as signified by the fall of the hammer. In the case of a dispute during or immediately after the sale of the Lot, the auctioneer may if thinks fit put up the Lot again for sale. 

3. Auctioneer’s Discretion 
The Auctioneer has sole discretion (a) to refuse any bid, (b) to advance the bidding as he may decide, (c) to decide whether there has been a dispute as to the bidding and under Condition 2 to resell the Lot in question, (d) to withdraw or divide any Lot or combine one Lot with another or others, and (e) to exclude any person from the auction room. 

4. Reserves and Seller’s Right to Bid 
Lots put up for Sale are subject (a) to any reserve price imposed by the Seller, (b) the right of the Auctioneer to bid on behalf of the Seller, and (c) where no reserve price has been imposed (but in no other case) for the Seller to bid personally or through any one agent. 

5. Buyer’s Duties & Buyers Premium 
The Buyer shall supply his name and address prior to the sale. The Buyer shall forthwith or as soon as reasonably possible after the sale of the relevant Lot (a) supply, if so required, bank or other suitable references, (b) pay the full purchase price in a way acceptable to the Auctioneer, and (c) on proof of payment clear the Lots purchased by him after the Sale in exchange for the auctioneer’s delivery order not later than the two days following the Sale. The full purchase price shall be the final bid plus a VAT-inclusive premium of 24%, plus any associated online fees, of 6% (including VAT).

In accordance with ‘Artists Resale Rights Regulations’ or Droit De Suite enforced on 14th February 2006 all lots marked with a D are subject to a resale royalty charge payable by the buyer. This will apply only to lots prefixed with a D selling for 1000 euros or more and will be charged at the rate of 4% of the total hammer price (exclusive of buyer’s premium). The resale royalty right payment is not subject to VAT and is payable in sterling. The amount due is calculated on the day of the sale at the prevailing rate of exchange. Payment is passed directly to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (DACS), 33 Great Sutton Street, London, EC10 0DX. For further information please contact DACS 0845 410 3410 or www.dacs.org.uk.

6. Payment 
Subject only to any arrangements made with Plymouth Auction Rooms the Buyer shall pay the total invoice by 4.30pm on the second working day following the sale. 

The following methods of payment are available: Cash (subject to certain restrictions and legal limits), Cheque, Sterling Bank Draft, Bank Transfer, Credit Card, Debit Cards. 

7. Liability of the Auctioneer and Sellers 
Subject to Condition 8, (a) Lots are sold with all faults and imperfections and neither the seller nor the Auctioneer is responsible for any defects whatsoever, (b) no warranty is given or authorised to be given by the Seller or the Auctioneer with regard to any Lot other than that the Seller had the right to sell it;(c) any express or implied conditions of warranties whether relating to description or quality, are hereby excluded. 

8. Catalogue Descriptions 
The Auctioneer undertakes that care has been taken to see that the catalogue descriptions are accurate and reliable, but these are necessarily matters of opinion only and shall not be taken to be statements of fact. Subject to Condition 8, neither the Seller nor Auctioneer is responsible for the correctness of any description of any lot or its attribution in any manner to any particular originator. 

9. Forgeries 
Notwithstanding Condition 6 and 7, if the Auctioneer receives notice in writing from the Buyer within fourteen days of Sale that in his opinion a Lot is a forgery (as defined in Condition 10) and on giving such notification the Lot in question is returned to the Auctioneer at his working premises in the same condition as when bought, then if on assertion, the Auctioneer decided that the Lot is forgery the sale of the Lot will be rescinded and the purchase price repaid to the Buyer. 

10. Property in Lots and Risks 
The Buyer shall not become the owner of any Lot, and the Auctioneer shall have a lien thereon, until the Buyer has discharged the purchase price, but after the fall of the hammer the risk of any damage or loss shall nevertheless be the Buyer’s. 

11. Definitions and Interpretation 
In these conditions, (a) References to ‘The Auctioneer’ shall be taken to mean, as the context so admits, Plymouth Auction Rooms, or any director, partner or employee thereof at the time of the sale; (b) ‘Buyer’ shall have the meaning ascribed to in Condition 2 and for the purpose of these conditions all buyers shall be deemed to be principals unless to the knowledge of the Auctioneer they are acting as agent on behalf of the named principal; (c)’Forgery’ means a lot (i) which is so constituted as deliberately to deceive when considered in the light of its catalogue description, and (ii) whose value as much as materially less than if it had complied with the catalogue description; (d)The Interpretation Act 1978 shall apply to the general construction of terms and expressions used in these conditions as if in a statue, and these conditions shall be governed by English Law. 

12. Withdrawal of Lots 
The Auctioneers reserve the right to withdraw any lot form the sale at any time before the fall of the hammer with there decision being final. 

13. Remedies for Non-Payment or Failure to Collect Purchases 
If any Lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these conditions or if there is any other breach of these conditions, we as agent for the seller and on our own behalf, shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies. 
a) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract. 
b) to rescind the sale of that lot and/or any other lots sold by us to you; 
c) to resell the Lot ( by auction or private treaty) in which case you shall be responsible for any resulting deficient in the total amount due ( after crediting any part payment and adding any resale costs) Any surplus so arising shall belong to the seller.

e) to reject and ignore bids by you ( and your agents) at any future auctions.

1. authorise Plymouth Auction Rooms, if they so wish, to charge the credit card given in part or full payment, including all fees, for items successfully purchased in the auction via the-saleroom.com, and

15. WATCHES

We recommend that you view any items you intend to purchase as refunds will not be given for buyer’s remorse. This doesn’t affect your statutory rights.

Whilst Plymouth Auction Rooms makes every attempt to identify and disclose any custom attributes where possible, the absence of any disclosure is not a guarantee of authenticity, Plymouth Auction Rooms accepts no liability if an item is later found to be with non-brand alterations. Neither is it always possible to authenticate every component, this includes individual external and movement parts, watch glasses, hands, straps and buckles, this is often due to items having been previously maintained outside of authorised workshops, Plymouth Auction Rooms are therefore unable to accept any liability if any component or part is later found to be with issue – this includes compatible yet non-original brand parts and/or numbering that may limit maintenance options through workshops in the future.
