ONLINE-ONLY SALES: AUCTIONS AND BUY-NOW PLEASE READ THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE AND THE SALE PARTICULARS CAREFULLY BEFORE PLACING ANY BID ON A LOT OR BUYING ANY LOT USING BUY-NOW. THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE AND THE SALE PARTICULARS, ALONG WITH THE IMPORTANT NOTICES AND EXPLANATION OF CATALOGUING PRACTICE, SET OUT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ON WHICH WE OFFER THE LOTS LISTED IN THIS SALE. BY REGISTERING TO BID AND/OR BY BIDDING AT AUCTION OR BUYING USING BUY-NOW, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND THEY WILL BECOME CONTRACTUALLY BINDING ON YOU. THEY ALSO DESCRIBE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS OF LIABILITY FOR CHRISTIE’S AND THE SELLER OF A LOT, WHERE APPLICABLE. UNLESS WE OWN A LOT( SYMBOL), CHRISTIE’S ACTS AS AGENT FOR THESELLER. PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE UNDERSTOOD ALL CHARGES, FEES AND TAXES THAT MAY BE APPLIED TO YOUR BID PRICE OR BUY-NOW PRICE BEFORE YOU PLACE YOUR BID. THESE WILL DEPEND UPON WHERE THE LOT IS LOCATED AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. AA THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE - BINDING ON YOU 1. These Conditions of Sale set out the terms on which Christie’s Inc. of 20 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10020, USA (referred to as Christie’s, "we", "us", "our" and "ourselves" in these Conditions of Sale) and the seller offer the lots forsale. 2. Words and expressions which are in bold in these Conditions of Sale have the meaning set out in the glossary which is set out in paragraph I of these Conditions of Sale. 3. By registering and/or by bidding in an auction, or where you (also referred to as the "buyer” and “your” in these Conditions of Sale) purchase a lot using Buy-Now, you agree that these Conditions of Sale and the Sale Particulars shall be contractually binding on you. BB THE SELLER 1. The party who is the seller for the purposes of an auction or Buy-Now sale will depend on who owns the lot at the time the sale is completed. If the lot is owned by Christie’s, we will be the seller (identified with the  symbol). If the lot is owned by a third party, the third party owner of the lot will be the seller, whose identity may not be disclosed. 2. Where a third party is the seller, Christie’s will be selling that lot as the agent of the seller. This means that Christie’s is providing services to the third party seller to help them sell their lot and that Christie’s is concluding the contract for the sale of the lot on behalf of that third party seller. 3. When Christie’s is the agent of the third party seller, the contract of sale which is created by any successful bid for a lot, or by any purchase of a lot using Buy-Now, will be directly between you and the third party seller, and not between you and Christie’s. However, even when the sale is by Christie’s on behalf of the third party seller, Christie’s gives certain undertakings to you directly. These are further described below in these Conditions of Sale. A. BEFORE THE SALE 1. Description of lots (a) Certain words used in the Sale Particulars to describe a lot have special meanings. You can find details of these in the “Important Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice” which forms part of these Conditions 2 of Sale in paragraph L. You can find a key to symbols used in the Sale Particulars under the headings “VAT Symbols, Explanations and Refunds” in paragraph J and “Symbols” in paragraph K. (b) Our description of any lot, any condition report and any other statement made by us (whether orally or in writing) about any lot, including about its nature or condition, artist, period, materials, approximate dimensions or provenance are our opinion and not to be relied on as a statement of fact. We do not carry out in-depth research of the sort carried out by professional historians and scholars. All dimensions and weights are approximate only. 2. Our responsibility for our description of lots We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the nature of a lot apart from our authenticity warranty contained in paragraph A7(c), E2(a) and if applicable, E2(d) and to the extent provided in paragraph H1 below. 3. Condition (a) The condition of lots can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair and wear and tear. Their nature means that they will rarely be in perfect condition. Lots are sold “as is”, in the condition they are in at the time of the sale, without any representation or warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to condition by Christie’sor by the seller. (b) Any reference to condition in the Sale Particulars or in a condition report will not amount to a full description of condition, and images may not show the condition of a lot clearly. Colors and shades may look different on the screen to how they look on physical inspection. Condition reports may be available to help you evaluate the condition of a lot. Condition reports are provided free of charge as a convenience to our buyers and are for guidance only. They offer our opinion but they may not refer to all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration or adaptation because our staff are not professional restorers or conservators. For that reason, they are not an alternative to taking your own professional advice. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have requested, received and considered any conditionreport. 4. Estimates Estimates are based on the condition, rarity, quality and provenance of the lot and on prices recently paid at auction for similar property. Estimates can change. Neither you, nor anyone else, may rely on any estimate as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price of a lot or its value for any other purposes. Estimates do not include any buyer's premium or any applicable taxes or charges or artist’s resale royalty. 5. Jewellery (a) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to improve their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted by the international jewellery trade but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care over time. (b) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report for any lot which does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three weeks before the date of the sale and you pay the fee for thereport. (c) We do not obtain a gemmological report for every gemstone sold in our sales. Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports from American gemmological laboratories will describe any improvement or treatment to the gemstone. Reports from European gemmological laboratories will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report. (d) For jewellery sales, all estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, you should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced. 3 6. Watches & Clocks (a) Almost all clocks and watches are repaired in their lifetime and may include parts which are not original. We do not give a warranty that any individual component part of any watch or clock is authentic. Watchbands described as “associated” are not part of the original watch and may not be authentic. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys. (b) As collectors’ watches and clocks often have very fine and complex mechanisms, you are responsible for any general service, change of battery or further repair work that may be necessary. We do not give a warranty that any watch or clock is in good working order. Certificates are not available unless described in the Sale Particulars. (c) Most watches have been opened to find out the type and quality of movement. For that reason, watches with water resistant cases may not be waterproof and we recommend you have them checked by a competent watchmaker before use. Important information about the sale, transport and shipping of watches and watchstraps can be found at paragraph G5(g). 7. Wine (a) Sales. Wines may only be sold to persons over the age specified in the Sale Particulars. By registering to bid, you confirm that you are at least that age. All wine is sold in California and title passes to you, the buyer, in California. California sales tax will be assessed on the sale. (b) Limitation on shipment of wines. You are responsible for picking up the wine from our California location. If you elect to ship wine to yourself, you are solely responsible for making all arrangements. Christie’s makes no representation to the legal right of anyone to ship or import wine into any state outside of California. As the buyer, you are solely responsible for shipment of wine. Buyers are reminded of the limitations and restrictions imposed by various states and countries regarding the importation of wines between different states and countries. Various jurisdictions may prohibit the importation or limit the quantity of wines that may be shipped into their jurisdictions. In addition, various jurisdictions may require you or another entity to possess certain licenses or permits before shipping or delivering wine. It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to determine before bidding whether wines can be shipped from or into any state or jurisdiction and the legal obligation or responsibility for obtaining any required permits or licenses on behalf of the buyer prior to shipment. It is the buyer’s responsibility to abide by any customs regulations and required declarations for international shipments. The seller and Christie’s make no representation as to the legal rights of any buyer to ship wines to or from any jurisdiction. (c) Authenticity warranty in relation to wine. Notwithstanding any other terms of these Conditions of Sale, if: (i) within 21 days of the date of the sale, Christie’s has received notice in writing from the buyer of any lot that in his view the lot was at the date of the auction short or alleged or that any statement of opinion in the catalogue was not wellfounded; (ii) within fourteen days of such notice, Christie’s has the lots in its possession in the same condition as at the date of the sale; and (iii) within a reasonable time thereafter, the buyer satisfies Christie’s that the lot was notified in writing by the buyer (as above) and that the buyer is able to transfer a good and marketable title to the lot free from any lien or encumbrance, Christie’s will set aside the sale and refund the buyer any amount paid by the buyer in respect of the lot provided that the buyer shall have no rights under this condition if: I. the defect is mentioned in the Sale Particulars; or 4 II. the Sale Particulars as at the date of the sale were in accordance with the then generally accepted opinion of scholars or experts fairly indicated there to be a conflict of such opinion; or III. it can be established that the lot was notified in writing by the buyer (as above) only by means of a scientific process not generally accepted for use until after the publication of the sale or by means of a process which at the date of the sale was unreasonably expensive or impracticable or likely to have caused damage to the lot (see also notes on ullages and corks in the “Important Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice” in paragraph L of these Conditions of Sale). You shall not be entitled to claim under this authenticity warranty for more than the amount paid by you for the lot and in particular shall have no claim for any other expenses suffered by you. The benefit of this authenticity warranty shall not be assignable and shall rest solely and exclusively with you as the buyer who shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by Christie’s in respect of the lot when sold and who has since the sale retained uninterrupted and unencumbered ownership thereof. (d) Though every effort is made to describe the wines in the lot descriptions as correctly as can be ascertained at the time the wines are listed for sale, buyers of old wines must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of cases, labels, corks and wine. Corks over twenty (20) years old begin to lose their elasticity and levels can change between cataloguing and sale. Old corks have also been known to fail during or after shipment. We therefore repeat that there is always a risk of cork failure with old wines and due allowance must be made for this. Under no circumstances can a return be accepted or an adjustment of price or credit be made after delivery except under the terms stated in paragraph A7(c) above. (e) The Sale Particulars may contain Special Conditions of Sale which apply to specific sales of wine. B. REGISTERING TO BID 1. Registration (a) If you have not previously bid or consigned with MyChristie’s and do not have a MyChristie’s account, you will need to create a MyChristie’s account following the instructions provided at http://onlineonly.christies.com and provide any required information and/or complete any necessary forms. In order to register and bid in online-only sales, you must be at least 18 years old. For certain other online-only sales, we may require you to meet a different minimum age. If you have an existing MyChristie’s account, you can sign into the online-only sale with your existing username and password and then subsequently register for the sale (if you have multiple accounts, you will need to select the account under which you wish to transact). (b) If you are a returning bidder who has not bought anything from any of our salerooms in the last two years or if you want to spend more than on previous occasions, we may at our discretion ask you for updated information. If you have any questions, please contact Christie’s Client Services. (c) You will need to give us enough time to process and approve your registration. We may, at our option, decline to permit you to register as a bidder. (d) Christie’s will ship a lot only to the registered address that you confirm when registering to bid in an onlineonly sale. 2. Failure to provide the right documents If in our opinion you do not satisfy our bidder identification and registration procedures, including, but not limited to, completing any anti-money laundering and/or anti-terrorism financing checks we may require to our satisfaction, we may refuse to register you to bid or permit your participation in the sale and if you make a successful bid, we may cancel the contract for sale between you and the seller. 5 3. Registering as an Individual/on behalf of a Company (a) When registering to bid either as an individual or on behalf of an entity, you accept that in making a bid, you are accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price (as defined in paragraph F(1)(b) below), unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Christie’s before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Christie’s and Christie’s will only look to the principal for payment. In order to register to bid, you are required to supply the information requested, including a valid debit or credit card in your name or other accepted payment information. (b) If you are bidding on behalf of an entity as an Authorized User against an entity’s transactional account with Christie’s, you must select the appropriate account at time of sale registration. If you do not already have a MyChristie’s account you will first need to create one; similarly if the entity does not have a Christie’s transactional account it will need to create one. In either situation, Christie’s may require your entity to provide certain documents or meet certain qualifications as set forth below. Please contact Christie’s Client Services to set up your MyChristie’s account or entity transactionalaccount. (c) Christie’s will require you, or, if you are registering to bid on behalf of a company in accordance with paragraph B3(b), your company, to provide the following types of information and/or documentation: Confirmation of registration (including, but not limited to, a Certificate of Incorporation or Certificate of Formation or Certificate of Good Standing); Confirmation of beneficial ownership (e.g. schedule of shareholders, articles of organization or operating agreement); Confirmation of registered address (e.g. utility bill, bank statement or recent postal envelope, if the registered address is not listed on company documents); and Valid, government-issued photo ID for account owner (driver's license, passport or nationalidentity card). (d) Christie’s may also require the production of bank or other financial references or that you meet certain qualifications. Christie’s may also require deposits of a portion of a placed bid to be made to Christie’s. In such event, should you not be the successful bidder, your deposit shall be promptly returned to you. If you are the successful bidder, any such deposit shall be used to offset the appropriateportion of the purchase price. (e) As a successful bidder, if you registered as a company bidder, your company will need to pay for any purchases via a credit card issued to the company account and not a personal account. 4. Credit limits Each bidder is subject to an aggregate bidding limit based on the currency of the sale and you should be notified of this when registering for an online-only sale. Any such bidding limit will apply to all items for sale in that particular online-only sale and to all items you bid upon in aggregate, not on a per lot basis. The bidding limit is based upon the maximum bid you make as opposed to the actual bid amount that is accepted. Christie’s, in its sole discretion, may lower or rescind this limit and has the ability to contact you to request the production of documents or information in relation to such limit. A maximum bid on a lot is deducted against the aggregate bidding limit and the bidding limit will not be reset until bidding on that lot closes. If you should reach the aggregate bidding limit based on the bids you place (whether maximum bids or actual bid amounts), you will not be able to place any further bids on those lots or any additional bids on other lots. You may adjust (i.e. remove, lower or increase) a maximum bid on a lot as long as the bids accepted on such lot have not met or exceeded the maximum bid amount. Should you wish to bid beyond your bidding limit or if you have a question regarding your bidding limit, please contact Christie’s Client Services. C. DURING THE SALE 1. Connectivity and Technical Issues (a) Broadband or other internet capacity constraints, corporate firewalls and other technical problems beyond our reasonable control may create difficulties for some users including (but not limited to) accessing sales and maintaining continuity of suchaccess. (b) Christie’s will not be responsible to you for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the internet or on your mobile device, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by: (i) any loss of connection on 6 Christie’s or your end to the online-only sale; (ii) a breakdown or problems with the online bidding software; and/or (iii) a breakdown or problems with any internet connection, computer, mobile device or system. Execution of online and mobile internet bids is a free service and Christie’s does not accept liability for your or our failing to access the bidding site or to execute an online or mobile internet bid or for errors or omissions in connection with this activity. In addition, we will not be responsible for any errors that may occur in the quality of digital images. 2. Christie’s discretion in relation to bidding /purchasing (a) Christie’s reserves the right, in our absolute discretion: (i) to reject your registration to bid; (ii) to reject, revoke or refuse to accept any bid or use of Buy-Now (even those that have been previously accepted); (iii) to withdraw or divide any lot or combine any two or more lots; (iv) whether during or after the sale, to restart or continue the bidding even if the bidding has finished; (v) to re-offer the lot as a new Buy-Now lot at a fixed price; or (vi) in the case of error or dispute and whether during or after the sale, to continue the bidding, determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale of the lot, or re-offer and re-sell any lot. If any dispute relating to bidding arises during or after the sale, Christie’s decision in exercise of this option isfinal. (b) Christie’s reserves the right to disable or deactivate your account at any time during the sale. 3. Online Bidding Process - Bidding increments (a) Bids may only be submitted between the dates and times specified in the Sale Particulars for that lot. (b) As soon as you place and confirm your bid amount, the bid is submitted (subject to the aggregate credit limit referred to in paragraph B4). You accept and agree that bids submitted in this way are final and that you may not, under any circumstances, amend, retract or revoke your bid. We are not responsible for any errors you make in bidding. Once you have made a bid, the next bidding increment is shown for your convenience on your “Next Bid” button. (c) Bidding generally opens at or below the low estimate and increases in steps (bidding increments) to be determined in Christie’s sole discretion. Bidding opens at a specified bid amount and advances in increments of up to 10%. Bidding increments are asfollows: $50 to $2,000 by $100 $2,000 to $3,000 by $200 $3,000 to $5,000 by $200, $500, $800 $5,000 to $10,000 by $500 $10,000 to $20,000 by $1,000 $20,000 to $30,000 by $2,000 $30,000 to $50,000 by $2,000, $5,000,$8,000 $50,000 to $100,000 by $5,000 $100,000 to $200,000 by $10,000 Above$200,000 to repeat in the same manneras setforthabove (d) Currency Calculator: Christie’s may show bids in some other major currencies as well as the currency of the sale, as specified in the Sale Particulars. Any conversion is for guidance only and we cannot be bound by any rate of exchange shown by the currency calculator. Christie’s is not responsible for any error (human or otherwise), omission or breakdown in providing these services. 4. “Buy-Now” If this functionality is offered for a particular lot, it allows you to buy that lot at a fixed price (the “Buy-Now price”) without bidding during an auction. If you purchase such a lot at the Buy-Now price, these Conditions of Sale and Sale Particulars for that lot will apply to the sale in the same manner as if you had been the successful bidder in an auction for that lot. 7 5. Absentee BiddingServices (a) You may request that Christie’s execute your bid on any particular lot(s) indicated by you in a signed Absentee Bid Form that we make available to you for the sale. All absentee bids must be in the currency of the sale, as indicated in the Sale Particulars for that lot. All absentee bids are subject to clearance by Christie’s Finance and Credit department and must satisfy Christie’s Know Your Customer requirements. To be eligible for this service, you must provide us with a valid email address where wecan contact you. (b) We must receive your signed and completed Absentee Bid Form either physically at our saleroom premises or by contacting the relevant sales specialist no later than 24 hours prior to the scheduled closing of the first lot in the sale. We will not accept any requests after this point nor will we accept any oral requests, unsigned or incomplete Absentee Bid Forms, or any written or emailed requests not on our Absentee Bid Form for the sale you wish to bid upon. (c) You may not cancel your bid after you have sent it to us. You may increase or decrease your bid prior to the expiry of the 24-hour period by sending us an updated Absentee Bid Form for the lot(s). We will notify you (via the email address you provide) when: (i) your bid has been entered into our system; and (ii) if you are the winner of the lot(s) that you have bid upon. We will not send you an email if at the time of our receipt of your bid, your requested bid amount has already been exceeded by another party’s bid on the same lot or if another matching bid has received priority because of the time that we received it. (d) All bids received by us will be time stamped based upon the time that we have received them. Absentee bids will be officially entered by Christie’s prior to the time that the first lot of the sale closes. An online bid that is submitted after an absentee bid is received by us, but before it is inputted by us, will take precedence. In the event that Christie’s receives multiple absentee bids at the same bid amount, the earlier absentee bid received by us will have priority over any later competing absentee bid received by us. In the event that an online bid is placed at the same time that we submit an identical absentee bid, the online bid will take precedence. We are not responsible for failing to execute an absentee bid on your behalf or for our determination of the official time of receipt by us of any bid or absentee bid on a lot. Christie’s may determine in its sole discretion the official time that a bid has been received. (e) Christie’s as auctioneer will take reasonable steps to carry out absentee bids at the lowest possible price, taking into account the reserve, but will not have any liability if it fails to do so. (f) Additional information about our responsibility for bidding services can be found in paragraphH. (g) If there is any conflict between this paragraph C5 and the instructions contained on the Absentee Bid Form, the Absentee Bid Form will take precedence. 6. Reserves (a) All lots are subject to a reserve. The reserve cannot be more than the lot’s low estimate. (b) Under no circumstances will the system place any bid on behalf of the seller at or above the reserve. (c) Christie’s reserves the right, in our absolute discretion, to lower the reserve of any lot in an online-onlysale prior to the end of the sale. 7. The record of the sale The record of sale (Christie’s records which relate to the sale) will be taken as absolute and final in all disputes. In the event of a discrepancy between any online records or messages provided to you and the record of sale, the record of sale will govern. 8. Withdrawal of lots Christie’s reserves the right, at our complete discretion, to withdraw any lot from the sale, whether prior to or during the auction or Buy-Now sale, and shall have no liability whatsoever with regard to such withdrawal. 8 9. Employee bidding Employees of Christie’s may be bidding in any online-only sale, however they will have no advantage over other bidders. 10. Closing of a lot (a) A countdown clock is displayed for each lot on the lot description page. Where there is bidding activity on a particular lot within 3 minutes prior to the lot's allocated closing time, there will be a bidding extension so that there will always be a 3-minute period between the last bid and closing time of that lot. These extensions will continue indefinitely until there is no more bidding activity on the lot for a period of 3 minutes. (b) The extension of one lot’s closing time does not affect other lots’ closing times therefore it is possible that lots will close out of numerical lot order. 11. Successful Bids - Auctions The highest bid will be the successful bidder when the lot closes, unless Christie’s decides to use its discretion as set out in paragraph C2 and C7 above. This means a contract for sale has been formed between the seller and the successful bidder. Winning bidders will receive an email notification of any successful bid. Bidders are also requested to log in as soon as possible after the sale to obtain details of the outcome of their successful bid by checking the “My Purchases” tab of the online-only sale. We do not accept responsibility for notifying you of the result of your bids unless you are successful and you should check as soon as possible after the sale to get details of the outcome of your bid. D. CHARGES TO YOU - BUYER’S PREMIUM, TAXES AND ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY, SHIPPING AND LOSS DAMAGE LIABILITY CHARGES 1. The Buyer’s Premium We will charge you a buyer’s premium on the hammer price of each lot sold. We calculate the buyer’s premium as follows: On all lots except wine we charge 26% of the hammer price up to and including: USD $1,000,000; 20% on that part of the hammer price over USD $1,000,000 and up to and including USD $6,000,000; and 14.5% of that part of the hammer price above USD$6,000,000. For wine sales, the buyer’s premium is calculated at a flat rate of 25% of the hammer price. VAT will be added to the buyer’s premium and is payable by you. The VAT may not be shown separately on our invoice because of tax laws. You may be eligible to have a VAT refund in certain circumstances if the lot is exported. Please see the “VAT refunds: what can I reclaim?” section of ‘VAT Symbols and Explanation’ for further information. 2. Taxes You are responsible for all applicable tax including any VAT, sales or compensating use tax or equivalent tax wherever such taxes may arise on the hammer price and the buyer’s premium, or in the case of Buy-Now sale, on the BuyNow price. VAT charges and refunds depend on your particular circumstances. It is your responsibility to ascertain and pay all taxes due. VAT is payable on the buyer’s premium and, for some lots, VAT is payable on the hammer price. Further information can be found in the ‘VAT Symbols and Explanation’ section at paragraph J. The successful bidder is responsible for any applicable taxes including any sales or use tax or equivalent tax wherever such taxes may arise on the hammer price, the buyer’s premium, and/or any other charges related to the lot. 9 For lots Christie’s ships to or within the United States, a sales or use tax may be due on the hammer price, buyer’s premium, and/or any other charges related to the lot, regardless of the nationality or citizenship of the successful bidder. Christie’s will collect sales tax where legally required. The applicable sales tax rate will be determined based upon the state, county, or locale to which the lot will be shipped. In accordance with New York law, if Christie's arranges the shipment of a lot out of New York State, New York sales tax does not apply, although sales tax or other applicable taxes for other states may apply. If you collect the lot from a Christie's New York location, Christie's must collect New York sales tax on the lot at a rate of 8.875% regardless of the ultimate destination of the lot. If Christie's delivers the lot to, or the lot is collected by, any framer, restorer or other similar service provider in New York that you have hired, New York law considers the lot delivered to the successful bidder in New York and New York sales tax must be imposed regardless of the ultimate destination of the lot. In this circumstance, New York sales tax will apply to the lot even if Christie’s or a common carrier (authorized by Christie’s that you hire) subsequently delivers the lot outside New York. Successful bidders claiming an exemption from sales tax must provide appropriate documentation to Christie’s prior to the release of the lot or within 90 days after the sale, whichever is earlier. For shipments to those US states for which Christie’s is not required to collect sales tax, a successful bidder may have a use or similar tax obligation. Christie's recommends you consult your own independent tax advisor with any questions. 3. Artist’s Resale Royalty In certain countries, local laws entitle the artist or the artist’s estate to a royalty known as ‘artist’s resale right’ when any lot created by the artist is sold. We identify these lots with the symbol λ in the Sale Particulars. If these laws apply to a lot, you must pay us an extra amount equal to the royalty (unless the law requires the payment to be made by the seller). We will pay the royalty to the appropriate authority on your, or as applicable, the seller’s behalf. The artist’s royalty applies if the hammer price of the lot is more than: (i) 1,000 Euro if located in the United Kingdom at the time of sale; (ii) 3,000 Euro if located in The Netherlands at the time of sale; or (iii) 750 Euro if located in France at the time of sale, and the total charge for artist’s resale right for any lot cannot be more than 12,500 Euro. We work out the amount owed asfollows: Royalty for the portion of the hammer price (in Euro) • 4% up to 50,000 • 3% between 50,000.01 and 200,000 • 1% between 200,000.01 and 350,000 • 0.50% between 350,000.01 and 500,000 • over 500,000, the lower of 0.25% and 12,500Euro. We will work out the artist’s resale royalty using the rate of exchange of the European Central Bank on the day of the sale. 4. Shipping Charges (a) Our Shipping Cost Calculator will provide you to with an estimate of the cost of shipping your lot before you make the purchase. Unless otherwise stated, any shipping charges you will be required to pay will include: (i) international shipping charges from where the lot is located to your designated delivery address; and (ii) loss damage liability (LDL) charges. The shipping charges will not include (i) any applicable local taxes and handling fees; (ii) any customs duty, import tax and any local clearance fees applicable for your country. (b) It is your responsibility to ascertain and pay any applicable international duties, custom charges, taxes, charges and tariffs owed to the appropriate government entity or that otherwise need to be paid prior to shipment and/or delivery including any third-party charges necessary to facilitate shipment as well as any necessary insurance charges. 10 E. WARRANTIES 1. Seller’s Warranties (a) For each lot, the seller gives a warranty that the seller: (i) is the owner of the lot or a joint owner of the lot acting with the permission of the other co-owners or, if the seller is not the owner or joint-owner of the lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the lot, or the right to do so in law; and (ii) has the right to transfer ownership of the lot to the buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else. (b) If either of the above warranties are incorrect, the seller shall not have to pay more that the purchase price (as described in paragraph F1(b) below) paid by you to us. The seller will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest, costs, other damages or expenses. The seller gives no warranty in relation to any lot other than as set out above and, as far as the seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the seller to you, and all other obligations upon the seller which may be added to these Conditions of Sale by law, are excluded. 2. Christie’s AuthenticityWarranty (a) We warrant that, subject to the terms below, the lots in our sales are authentic (our “authenticity warranty”). If, within five (5) years of the date of the sale, you give us notice that your lot is not authentic, subject to the terms below, we will refund the purchase price paid by you. The meaning of authentic can be found in the Glossary at the end of these Conditions of Sale. The terms of the authenticity warranty are asfollows: (i) It will be honored for claims notified within a period of five (5) years from the date of the sale. After such time, we will not be obligated to honour the authenticity warranty. (ii) It is given only for information shown in UPPERCASE type in the first line of the lot description (the "Heading"). It does not apply to any information other than in the Heading even if shown in UPPERCASE type. (iii) The authenticity warranty does not apply to any Heading or part of a Heading which is Qualified. Qualified means limited by a clarification in a lot description or by the use in a Heading of one of the terms listed in the section titled Qualified Headings in the “Important Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice! forming part of these Conditions of Sale. For example, use of the term “ATTRIBUTED TO…” in a Heading means that the lot is in Christie’s opinion probably a work by the named artist but no warranty is provided that the lot is the work of the named artist. Please read the full list of Qualified Headings and the full lot description before bidding on a lot or buying a lot using BuyNow. (iv) The authenticity warranty applies to the Heading as amended by any notice given to you during a sale. (v) The authenticity warranty does not apply where scholarship has developed since the auction leading to a change in generally accepted opinion. Further it does not apply if the Heading either matched the generally accepted opinion of experts at the date of the sale or drew attention to any conflict of opinion. (vi) The authenticity warranty does not apply if the lot can only be shown not to be authentic by a scientific process which, on the date we published the Sale Particulars, was not available or generally accepted for use, or which was unreasonably expensive or impractical, or which was likely to have damaged the lot. (vii) The benefit of the authenticity warranty is only available to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot issued at the time of the sale and only if on the date of the notice of claim, the original buyer is the full owner of the lot and the lot is free from any claim, interest or restriction by anyone else. The benefit of this authenticity warranty may not be transferred to anyone else. 11 (b) In order to claim under the authenticity warranty, youmust: (i) give us written notice of your claim within 5 years of the date of the auction. We may require full supporting evidence of any claim; (ii) at Christie’s option, we may require you to obtain the written opinions of two recognised experts in the field of the lot mutually agreed by you and us in advance confirming that the lot is not authentic. If we have any doubts, we reserve the right to obtain additional opinions at our expense; and (iii) return the lot at your expense to the place from where it was shipped to you in the condition it was in at the time of sale. (c) Your only right under this authenticity warranty is to cancel the sale and receive a refund of the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not, in any circumstances, be required to pay you more than the purchase price nor will we be liable for any reason for loss of profits or business, expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest, costs, other damages or expenses. (d) Books. Where the lot is a book, we give an additional warranty for 14 days from the date of the sale that if on collation any lot is defective in text or illustration, we will refund your purchase price, subject to the following terms. Your only right under this additional warranty is to cancel the sale and receive a refund of the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not, in any circumstances, be required to pay you more than the purchase price nor will we be liable for any other damages or expenses. This additional warranty does not apply to: (i) the absence of blanks, half titles, tissue guards or advertisements, damage in respect of bindings, stains, spotting, marginal tears or other defects not affecting completeness of the text or illustration; (ii) drawings, autographs, letters or manuscripts, signed photographs, music, atlases, maps or periodicals; (iii) books not identified by title; (iv) lots sold without a printed estimate; (v) books which are described as sold not subject to return; or (vi) defects stated in any condition report or announced at thetime of sale. (e) To make a claim under paragraph (d) above, you must give written details of the defect and return the lot to the location from which it was shipped to you (or as we direct) in the same condition as at the time of sale, within 14 days of the date of thesale. (f) South East Asian Modern and Contemporary Art and Chinese Calligraphy and Painting. In these categories, the authenticity warranty does not apply because current scholarship does not permit the making of definitive statements. Christie’s does, however, agree to cancel a sale in either of these two categories of artwhere it has been proven the lot is a forgery. Christie’s will refund to the original buyer the purchase price in accordance with the terms of Christie’s authenticity warranty, provided that the original buyer notifies us with full supporting evidence documenting the forgery claim within twelve (12) months of the date of the auction. Such evidence must be satisfactory to us that the lot is a forgery in accordance with paragraph E2(b)(ii) above and the lot must be returned to us in accordance with E2(b)(iii) above. Paragraphs E2( a), (b) and (c) also apply to a claim under thesecategories. (g) Chinese, Japanese and Korean artefacts (excluding Chinese, Japanese and Korean calligraphy, paintings, prints, drawings and jewellery). In these categories, paragraph E2 (a) (ii) – (v) above shall be amended so that where no maker or artist is identified, the authenticity warranty is given not only for the Heading but also for information regarding date or period shown in UPPERCASE type in the second line of the catalogue description (the “Subheading”). Accordingly, all references to the Heading in paragraph E2 (a) (ii) – (v) above shall be read as references to both the Heading and the Subheading. 12 3. Your Warranties (a) You warrant that the funds used for settlement are not connected with any criminal activity, including tax evasion, and you are neither under investigation, nor have you been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities or other crimes.

Buyer’s Acknowledgements and Representations for NFTs (a) You acknowledge that ownership of an NFT carries no rights, express or implied, other than property rights for the lot (specifically, digital artwork tokenized by the NFT). You understand and accept that NFTs are issued by third parties, and not by Christie’s itself. (b) You acknowledge and agree that there are risks associated with purchasing and holding NFTs. By purchasing, holding and using NFT, you expressly acknowledge and assume all risks including, but not limited to, risk of losing access to NFT due to loss of private key(s), custodial error or purchaser error, risk of mining attacks, risk of hacking and security weaknesses, risk of unfavorable regulatory intervention in one or more jurisdictions, risks related to token taxation, risk of personal information disclosure, risk of uninsured losses, unanticipated risks, and volatility risks. If you have any questions regarding these risks, please contact us at info@christies.com. (c) You acknowledge that you have a sufficient understanding of the functionality, usage, storage, transmission mechanisms and other material characteristics of cryptographic tokens (like NFTs and Ether), token storage mechanisms (such as token wallets), blockchain technology and blockchain-based software systems to understand these Terms and to appreciate the risks and implications of purchasing NFTs. You acknowledge that you have obtained sufficient information to make an informed decision to purchase an NFT, including carefully reviewing the code of the smart contract and the NFT and fully understand and accept the functions of the same. By making a payment online with Ether, you (i) warrant that you are the lawful holder of the Ether; and (ii) acknowledge that Christie’s has no liability for your payment not reaching us, including, but not limited to, instances where payment through the blockchain is unsuccessful. It is solely your responsibility to confirm with Christie’s and the Ethereum blockchain that the payment has been accepted. (d) You acknowledge and represent that there is substantial uncertainty as to the characterization of NFTs and other digital assets under applicable law. You acknowledge that your purchase of an NFT complies with applicable laws and regulation in your jurisdiction F. PAYMENT 1. Purchase Price and How to Pay 14 (a) You must pay the purchase price: (i) in the case of auctions, no later than 48 hours after the close of the auction, or if later, the time specified in the SaleParticulars; (ii) in the case of Buy-Now sales, within 15 minutes of adding a lot to your basket and completing the payment process within a further period of 10 minutes of starting that process (both being the “due date”). (b) The purchase price is the total of the following amounts: (i) the hammer price and the buyer’s premium (in the case of a sale by auction) OR the Buy-Nowprice (in the case of a Buy-Now sale); (ii) any amounts due under paragraph D3 (artist's resale royalty) above; (iii) all shipping and related costs and charges including Loss /Damage Liability (LDL) charges; and (iv) any applicable duties, goods, sales use, compensating or service tax orVAT. (c) We will only accept payment from the registered bidder. Once issued, we cannot change the buyer’s name on an invoice or re-issue the invoice in a different name. You must pay immediately even if you want to export the lot and need an export license. (d) Except as provided in (h), you must pay for a lot in the currency of the sale. You must pay for any lot bought at Christie’s via the online- only sale by a permitted credit or debit card in your name or by bank transfer. We will only accept debit or credit cards with a MasterCard, Visa, American Express or China Union Pay logo (if the China Union Pay credit card has a Visa or MasterCard logo) and in the case of sales where the Christie’s selling entity is in the United States, Discover – including Diners Club International and JCB. If you registered and bid as a company, your company will need to pay for any purchases via a debit or credit card issued to the company account. Partial payment of a lot, or payment across multiple debit or credit cards for a single lot, will not be allowed. If you purchase multiple lots, you may purchase one lot with one credit card and another lot with a different credit card but you will need to go through two separate check-outs. (e) For sales that permit online payment, certain transactions will be ineligible for credit card payment. (f) Payment information is collected and processed directly by a third party service provider (“Payment Service Provider”) and not by Christie’s. Please see paragraph H8(c) for further details. Christie’s does not have access to, or retain any credit cardinformation. (g) By making a payment online via credit or debit card, you: (i) warrant that you are the cardholder; and (ii) acknowledge that Christie’s has no liability for your payment not reaching us where, for example payment is refused or declined by your card supplier. It is your responsibility to check with Christie’s and/or your card supplier that the payment has been accepted. (h) For sales that permit payment in Ether, you may pay for the hammer price and any amounts due under paragraph D3 (artist’s resale royalty) via a digital wallet transfer of Ether to Christie’s. For the avoidance of doubt, we do not permit payment of the buyer’s premium in Ether and you must pay the buyer’s premium in the currency of the sale. You must send payment from a digital wallet maintained with Coinbase Custody Trust; Coinbase, Inc.; Fidelity Digital Assets Services, LLC; Gemini Trust Company, LLC; or Paxos Trust Company, LLC. Only Ether payments sent from digital wallets maintained at these platforms will be credited towards a lot purchase, and we will not recognize payments from digital wallets hosted at other exchanges or self-hosted wallets. The digital wallet must be registered to you, or, if you registered a bid as a company, then in the name of the company. You agree, upon our request, to provide documentation confirming that the Ether payment was made from a digital wallet registered in your name and maintained at one of the platforms listed above. Partial payments of a lot from multiple digital wallets will not be allowed. If you purchase multiple lots, you may purchase one lot with payment from one digital wallet and another lot with payment from a different digital wallet but this must be accomplished through two separate transactions. For payments in Ether, the spot rate of exchange for Ether will be set on the date of payment and will be based on the rate set forth by Gemini Trust Company, LLC as available through their exchange. (i) If you make payment in Ether from a digital wallet, you represent that the source of wealth for the digital wallet 15 is not attributable, either directly or indirectly, to (i) a citizen or resident of, or located in, a geographic area that is the target of sanctions or embargoes imposed by the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United Nations or the United States or (ii) an individual, or an individual employed by or associated with an entity, identified on the US Department of Commerce’s Denied Persons or Entity List, the US Department of Treasury’s Specially Designated Nationals or Blocked Persons Lists, or the US Department of State’s Debarred Parties List, or similar lists promulgated by the government of the European Union, the United Kingdom, or the United Nations. (j) Please contact Christie’s Client Services for any questions relating to payments. 2. Payment Method - Credit CardCharges Please note that if you pay for your purchase using a credit card issued outside the region of the sale, depending on the type of card and account you hold, the payment may incur a cross-border transaction fee. If you think this may apply to you, please check with your card supplier before proceeding to check-out. 3. Transferring Ownership toYou (a) You will not own the lot and ownership of the lot will not pass to you until: (i) we have confirmed that you have met all bidder identification and registration procedures; and (ii) we have received full, clear and undisputed payment of all amounts due, even in circumstances where wehave released the lot to you. (b) If you have purchased a lot, including digital art, for which title is passed via NFT, then Christie’s (or the seller) will transfer the NFT to you after you have met the conditions in paragraph F3(a). To receive the NFT, you will use a digital wallet or wallet service provider registered in your name or for which you have title and that supports the NFT tokens and understand and accept that failure to ensure this may result in an inability to access your NFT. If you bid on behalf of a company, then the digital wallet used to accept the NFT will be registered to the company or the company will hold its title. In the event it is necessary for the seller to transfer the NFT to you, you agree that we may provide your digital wallet information to the seller in order to execute the transfer. (c) If you have purchased a lot, including digital art, for which title is passed via NFT, you represent that the digital wallet or wallet service provider to which Christie’s will transfer the NFT, is not owned by or associated with (i) a citizen or resident of, or located in, a geographic area that is the target of sanctions or embargoes imposed by the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United Nations or the United States or (ii) an individual, or an individual employed by or associated with an entity, identified on the US Department of Commerce’s Denied Persons or Entity List, the US Department of Treasury’s Specially Designated Nationals or Blocked Persons Lists, or the US Department of State’s Debarred Parties List, or similar lists promulgated by the government of the European Union, the United Kingdom, or the United Nations. 4. Transferring risk to you (a) The risk in and responsibility for the lot will transfer to you from whichever is the earliest of the following: (i) when the lot comes into your physical possession or that of any person or carrier you authorise to take possession of the lot; (ii) when you collect the lot if collection is permitted (the Sale Particulars will stateif collection is allowed); or (iii) in the case of a lot for which title is passed by NFT, when Christie’s has sent the NFT to the digital wallet that you have specified. (b) The lot is at your risk if you choose to exercise any right you may have to cancel the contract for the purchase of the lot and you are responsible for insuring the lot against loss or damage until it is returned tous. (c) For a lot for which title is passed by NFT, you are responsible for implementing reasonable measures for securing the wallet or other storage mechanism you use to receive and hold the NFT, including any requisite private key(s) or other credentials necessary to access such storage mechanism(s), and further specifically acknowledge that the risk of acquiring, transferring, creating, holding or using NFT or your wallet rests entirely with you. If your private key(s) or other access credentials are lost, you may lose access to your NFT. We are not responsible for any such losses. 16 5. What happens if you do not pay (a) If you fail to pay us the purchase price in full by the due date and in the manner specified in F1, we will be entitled to do one or more of the following (as well as enforcing our right under paragraph F6 and any other rights or remedies we have by law): (i) We can charge you interest from the due date at a rate of 5% a year above the UK Lloyds Bank base rate from time to time on the unpaid amount due; (ii) We can cancel the sale of the lot. If we do this, we may sell the lot again, publicly or privately on such terms we shall think necessary or appropriate, in which case you must pay us any shortfall between the purchase price and the proceeds from the resale. You must also pay all costs, expenses, losses, damages and legal fees we have to pay or may suffer and any shortfall in the seller’s commission on the resale; (iii) We can pay the seller an amount up to the net proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by you in which case you acknowledge and understand that Christie’s will have all of the rights of the seller to pursue you for such amounts; (iv) We can hold you legally responsible for the purchase price and may begin legal proceedings to recover it together with any late-payment interest, legal fees and costs as far as we are allowed by law; (v) We can take what you owe us from any amounts which we or any company in the Christie’s Group may owe you (including any deposit or other part-payment which you have paid to us); (vi) We can at our sole option reveal your identity and contact details to the seller; (vii) We can reject at any future sale any bids made by or on behalf of you or to obtain a deposit from you before accepting your bids; (viii) We can exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by you, whether by way of pledge, security interest or in any other way as permitted by the law of the place where such property is located. You will be deemed to have granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for your obligations to us; and (ix) We can take any other action we see necessary or appropriate. (b) If you owe money to us or to another Christie’s Group company, as well as the rights set out above, we can use any amount you do pay, including any deposit or other partial-payment you have made to us, or which we owe you, to pay off any amount you owe to us or another Christie’s Group company for anytransaction. (c) If you make payment in full after the due date and we choose in our sole discretion to accept such payment, we may charge you additional storage costs in accordance with paragraph F7below. 6. Keeping your Property If you owe money to us or to another Christie’s Group company, as well as the rights set out in paragraph F5 above, we can use or deal with any of your property we hold or which is held by another Christie’s Group company in any way we are allowed to by law. We will only release this property to you after you pay us or the relevant Christie’s Group company in full for what you owe. However, if we choose, we can also sell your property in any way we think appropriate. We will use the proceeds of the sale against any amounts you owe us and we will pay any amount left from that sale to you. If there is a shortfall, you must pay us any difference between the amount we have received from the sale and the amount you owe us. 7. Storage (a) Provided that your purchased lots are paid for in full and clear funds by the payment deadline, Christie’s will store your purchased lots free of charge until shipment, at which time the purchases will be shipped at your expense in accordance with paragraph G below. (b) Christie’s reserves the right in its sole discretion to either ship your lot to you at your expense or charge storage fees on non-collected property following 90 days of receipt of payment by Christie’s if: (i) full and clear payment for your purchases has not been made in funds cleared by the payment deadline; (ii) we have permitted payment of your lot after the due date; or (iii) collection of your lot is permitted and you do not collect it within the period agreed. 17 (c) Please note that if collection of your lot is permitted and you fail to collect it within the period agreed by us, we reserve the right to move your lot to one of our other storage facilities. G. TRANSPORT AND SHIPPING 1. Transport and Shipping (a) If you choose to have Christie’s arrange the shipping of your lot, then unless otherwise explicitly agreed by us or unless the lot purchased by you requires a special permit such as a CITES permit (in which case shipment may be delayed), we will endeavor to ship your lot to the delivery address you provide at registration no later than 30 days from receipt of full and clear payment for your lot and the shipping charges. (b) You must ensure that you provide a valid delivery address at registration for all lots to be shipped. Except in very limited circumstances, we will only ship to the registered address on your account which you provide at the time of registration. Purchases cannot be delivered to P.O. boxes. Our shipping partners will only operate a curbside/ground floor delivery, unless otherwise agreed with you. You are responsible for paying any shipping charges if the lot is returned to the seller/Christie’s due to your failure to provide a valid delivery address, or pay any duty, import taxes and/or customs processing fees, or the lack of a recipient to sign and accept delivery where necessary. You will be responsible for any and all shipping expenses, including costs, packing and handling, loss/ damage liability (LDL) fees as specified in the Sale Particulars. Although we shall use reasonable efforts to take care when handling, packing and facilitating any shipment of a purchased lot, Christie’s is not responsible for any acts or omissions of any third party retained for these purposes, including, without limitation, any packing, shipping or delivery of purchased lots. Similarly, where we may suggest any third party handler, packer or carrier if so requested, we do not accept liability for their acts, omissions or neglect and you agree to release us from any such liability. (c) Subject to paragraph G5 below, Christie’s will obtain any special permits required for the export or import of the product and is the “Exporter of Record”. As the recipient of the package, you are the “Importer of Record” and you must appoint a shipper as your agent to manage all import and customs clearance procedures and to ensure that customs duties and taxes are paid to the relevant customs and tax authorities in your country. (d) Our shipping partners may contact you directly with communications necessary to deliver your lot or to make arrangements for pick-up if you need to return alot. (e) Shipping is currently not possible to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria and any other country subject to US or international embargoes. In addition, shipping to certain countries such as Mainland China and India will require a bespoke shipping service. If the country you wish to ship to is unavailable or if you have questions generally about international shipping, click here. (f) For lots being exported from the US, you expressly agree not to divert, reship or forward any part of a shipment: (i) to any country which the US Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has designated as supporting international terrorism (currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria); or (ii) to any individual or entity named in: the OFAC list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons; or any of the lists maintained by the US Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security - the Denied Persons List, the Entity List, or the Unverified List; or any of the lists maintained by the US Department of State - the Debarred Parties List or the Proliferators List. (g) If you have any questions about international shipping in general, or about a specific shipment of Christie’s products, please contact Christie’s Client Services. (h) If you choose to collect your purchase(s) in person from Christie’s, you should email Christie’s Client Services beforehand to schedule your collection at least 48 hours in advance and secure any relevant forms. Payment must be made online prior to collection. If you wish to send someone to collect your purchase(s) on your behalf, you will need to complete a Letter of Authorization and send it to Christie’s Client Services prior to collection. Your representative will be required to present a valid picture ID at the time of collection, such as a driver’s license or passport. 18 2. Customs Duty andTax (a) Customs duty and import tax are specific to a particular country. Customs authorities in each country calculate duty and tax based on a number of factors, including: (i) the category in which the lot is classified in the international Harmonized Code (HS) system; (ii) the value of the lot (the price you paid); (iii) for most countries, duty is calculated on a “CIF” basis (meaning Cost, Insurance and Freight), so the shipping charge you pay will also be factored in to the calculation of the duty you will pay. (b) It is your responsibility to ascertain and pay any applicable international duties, custom charges, taxes, charges and tariffs owed to the appropriate government entity or that otherwise need to be paid prior to shipment and/or delivery including any third-party charges necessary to facilitateshipment. 3. Delivery Times Where required, your purchases will be shipped via international air. Delivery time depends on a number of variables, and there may be delays such as bad weather affecting air transport, or a package being held for inspection by customs. Neither Christie’s nor its shipping partners are liable for any delays in international transportation or customs clearance. Shipments can be delivered directly to most addresses, however in certain remote areas you may need to pick up your package from the closest service point of our nominated shipping partner. 4. Loss or Damage during Shipment (a) Be sure to check the details of your purchase carefully on receipt and check the contents of the package(s) promptly upon receipt. If you have a problem with the lot, contact Christie’sClient Services. (b) On rare occasions, a package may be lost or the contents damaged during international shipment no matter how carefully it is handled. If your package is lost or damaged in international transit, you will need to submit a claim within 14 days of the date of delivery, or within 14 days of the date you received confirmation that it was lost. To make a claim, contact Christie’s ClientServices. 5. Limitations to Export and Import (a) Import/export licenses or other permits. Certain lots sold may be affected by laws on exports from the country in which it is sold and the import restrictions of other countries. Many countries require a declaration of export for property leaving the country and/or an import declaration on entry of property into the country. Obtaining the necessary permits and/or licenses may result in additional costs and subsequent delays. Local laws may prevent you from importing a lot or may prevent you selling a lot in the country you import it into. Unless otherwise agreed by usin writing, the fact that youmay need to apply for an import and/or export license or some other permit and/or license for shipment may result in additional time to process at an additional cost and does not affect your obligation to make payment on the payment due date nor our right to charge interest or storage charges on late payment. A delay in obtaining required permits or licenses shall not justify a rescission of any sale nor a delay in making full payment for the lot, and we shall not be obliged to refund any interest or other expenses incurred by you. Local laws may prohibit the import or export of some property and/or may prohibit the resale of some property in the country of importation. It is your responsibility to check if lots may be imported into and/or transported to the specified delivery location and plan for additional time to apply for and receive the appropriate permits and/or licenses. No such restriction or delays associated with processing shipments shall justify the rescission of any sale or delay in making full payment for the lot. (b) You alone are responsible for getting advice about and meeting the requirements of any laws or regulations which apply to exporting or importing any lot prior to bidding or for Buy-Now lots, prior to purchasing. If you are refused a license or there is a delay in getting one, you must still pay us in full for the lot. We may be able to help you apply for the appropriate licenses if you ask us to and pay our fee for doing so, however we cannot guarantee that you will get one. For more information, contact Christie’s ClientServices. 19 (c) You alone are responsible for any applicable taxes, tariffs or other government-imposed charges relating to the export or import of the lot. If Christie’s exports or imports the lot on your behalf, and if Christie’s pays these applicable taxes, tariffs or other government-imposed charges, you agree to refund that amount to Christie’s. (d) Lots made of protected species. Lots made of or including (regardless of the percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife are marked with the symbol ~ in the Sale Particulars.This material includes, among other things, crocodile, alligator and ostrich skins. You should check the relevant customs laws and regulations before bidding on or for Buy-Now lots, prior to purchasing any lot containing wildlife material if you plan to import the lot into another country. Several countries refuse to allow you to import property containing these materials, and some other countries require a licence from the relevant regulatory agencies in the countries of exportation as well as importation. In some cases, the lot can only be shipped with an independent scientific confirmation of species and/or age and you will need to obtain these at your own cost. We will not be obliged to cancel your purchase and refund the purchase price if your lot may not be exported, imported or it is seized for any reason by a government authority. It is your responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations relating to the export or import of property containing such protected or regulated material. (e) Property of Iranian origin. Some countries prohibit or restrict the purchase and/or import of Iranian-origin "works of conventional craftsmanship" (works that are not by a recognized artist and/or that have a function, for example: bowls, ewers, tiles, ornamental boxes). For example, the US prohibits the import of this type of property and its purchase by US persons (wherever located). Other countries, such as Canada, only permit the import of this property in certain circumstances. As a convenience to our buyers, Christie's indicates under the title of a lot if the lot originates from Iran (Persia). It is your responsibility to ensure you do not bid on or import a lot in contravention of the sanctions or trade embargoes that apply to you. (f) Gold. Gold of less than 18ct does not qualify in all countries as ‘gold’ and may be refused import into those countries as ‘gold’. (g) Watches. Many of the watches offered for sale in the Sale Particulars are pictured with straps made of endangered or protected animal materials such as alligator or crocodile. These lots are marked with the symbol ψ in the Sale Particulars. These endangered species straps are shown for display purposes only and are not for sale. Christie's will remove and retain the strap prior to shipment from the sale site. At some sale sites, Christie's may, at its discretion, make the displayed endangered species strap available to the buyer of the lot free of charge if collected in person from the sale site within one (1) year of the date of the sale. Please check with the department for details on a particular lot. (h) Handbags. Where used in an online-only sale, the term “hardware” refers to the metallic parts of the handbag, such as the buckle hardware, base studs, lock and keys and/or strap, which are plated with a coloured finish (e.g. gold, silver, palladium). The terms “Gold Hardware”, “Silver Hardware”, “Palladium Hardware” etc. refer to the tone or color of the hardware and not the actual material used. If the handbag incorporates solid metal hardware this will be referenced in the Sale Particulars.
