精美古董艺术品

Any buyer attending an auction agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set out here.
Before a buyer bids at an auction, the buyer must be registered by providing to Vickers & Hoad, the following:
2.1 A photo identification showing a facial photography of the proposed buyer and particulars of the residential address of that buyer. Where the buyer for religious or ethical reasons refuses to provide facial photograph to Vickers & Hoad verifying his or her identity, Vickers & Hoad will require further verification of identity before allowing the potential buyer to bid.
2.2 Vickers & Hoad may request further particulars of the potential buyer at the time of registration, without being required to give a reason.
2.3 Should the buyer fail and/or refuse to provide those further particulars, then Vickers & Hoad may refuse to register the buyer to bid at an auction.
2.4 If for any reason Vickers & Hoad is dissatisfied with the information and/or documents provided by a potential buyer, identifying that buyer and the buyer’s residential address, Vickers & Hoad may refuse to register the buyer to bid at an auction.
The buyer acknowledges and agrees that prior to the auction taking place, the buyer has inspected the goods which are catalogued in the auction, and which are to be sold, during the course of the auction (the “goods”).
The description of the goods as set out in any catalogue, published by Vickers & Hoad in any form or format, is simply meant as a guide as to the description of the goods, their provenance, source, the integrity of the source and/or the integrity of the goods, and hence should not be relied upon, by a buyer.
If the buyer intends to bid for goods, that because of their potential provenance, source, description or nature, assert certain characteristics which impact positively upon the price that the buyer will pay for those goods, then the buyer must obtain independently of Vickers & Hoad expert advice, such that the buyer is satisfied that prior to bidding at the auction the buyer is purchasing what it is that the buyer believes the goods to be at the time of the auction. In this regard Vickers & Hoad and the seller of the goods, give no guarantee or warranty that the goods are of the description set out in the catalogue or of any description made by the auctioneer at any time during the currency of the auction. It is the obligation of the buyer to undertake any and all due diligence that the buyer requires, in order to satisfy the buyer as to the veracity or otherwise of the provenance, source of the goods, the characteristic, age, condition and quality of the goods, prior to bidding at the auction.
