1.     DEFINITIONS

 

In these Conditions Rogers Jones & Co act only as Auctioneers and Agents and the representative of Rogers Jones & Co conducting the auction is called “the Auctioneer”.

 

2.     GENERAL

 

Whilst Rogers Jones & Co make every effort to ensure the accuracy of the catalogue and the description of a lot:

 

a) Each lot as set out in the catalogue or as divided or combined with any other lot or lots is sold by the vendor with all faults, imperfections and errors of descriptions.

 

b) Rogers Jones & Co do not accept any responsibility for the authenticity, genuineness, origin, authorship, date, age, period, condition or quality of any lots unless they have been instructed in writing by the buyer to so certify.

 

c) All statements whether printed in the catalogue or made orally as to any of the matter set out in b) above are statements of opinion only and are not to be taken as being or implying any warranties or representations of fact by Rogers Jones Co unless they have been instructed in writing by the buyers to so certify.

 

3.     THE AUCTION

 

a) The Auctioneer has absolute discretion to divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots or to withdraw any lot or lots from the sale, to refuse bids, regulate bidding or cancel the sale without any case giving any reason or without previous notice.  He may bid on behalf of a vendor for all goods which are being offered subject to reserve or at the Auctioneer’s discretion.

 

b) The highest bidder shall be the buyer.  The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid.  If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen, he has absolute discretion to settle it or to re-offer the lot.

 

c) Each lot is put up for sale subject to any reserve price placed by the vendor.  Where there is no reserve price (but not otherwise) the seller has the right to bid either personally or by any one person (who may be the Auctioneer).

 

d) All conditions, notices, descriptions, statements and other matters in the catalogue and elsewhere concerning any lot are subject to any statements modifying or affecting the same made by the Auctioneer from the rostrum prior to any bid being accepted for the lot.

 

 

 

 

4.    RESCISSION

 

Notwithstanding any other terms of these Conditions, if within fourteen days after the sale Rogers Jones & Co have received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within seven days after such notification the buyer returns the same to Rogers Jones & Co, in the same condition as at the time of sale and by producing evidence, the burden of proof to be upon the buyer, satisfies Rogers Jones & Co that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded.  The vendor agrees to be bound by Rogers Jones & Co’s decision.

 

5.     DEFAULT

 

Rogers Jones & Co disclaim responsibility for default by either the buyer or the vendor because they act as Auctioneers only and therefore do not pay out to the vendor until payment is received from the buyer.  Instructions given by telephone are accepted at the sender’s risk and must be confirmed in writing forthwith.

 

6.     THIRD PARTY LIABILITY

 

Every person on Rogers Jones & Co’s premises at any time shall be deemed to be there at his/her own risk.  He/She shall have no claim against Rogers Jones & Co in respect of any accident which may occur or injury, damage or loss shall be caused by the negligence of Rogers Jones & Co’s employees.

8.     COLLECTIONS

 

Rogers Jones & Co do not themselves undertake the collection of goods but will, if required in writing, instruct a contractor on the vendor’s behalf in their capacity as Agents.  Rogers Jones & Co disclaim all responsibility for loss or damage to goods or for unauthorised removal of goods and for damage to premises caused by the contractor who should be insured for such risks.

b) If any buyer fails to comply with any of the above conditions the damages recoverable from the defaulter shall include all loss arising from any re-sale of the lot, together with the charges and expenses in respect of both sales, and any money deposited in part payment shall be held by the Auctioneer against the defaulter’s liability and may be appropriated in settlement of that liability.

The purchaser shall pay the hammer price together with the current rate of buyer’s premium.  The premium is NOT negotiable and includes VAT at the standard rate and is payable by ALL purchasers.  The vendor authorises the Auctioneer to deduct commission and expenses at the stated rates from the hammer price and acknowledges the Auctioneer’s right to retain the premium payable by the purchaser.

 

Artist’s Resale Right/Droit De Suite.

EU & UK law states that the artist or artist’s estate are entitled to a royalty known as ‘artist’s resale right’ when any lot created by the artist is sold. We identify these lots with a ‡ symbol. If these laws apply to a lot, you must pay us an extra amount equal to the royalty.

We will then pay the royalty to the appropriate authority on the seller’s behalf. The royalty applies
if the hammer price of the lot is 1,000 euros (British Sterling equivalent) or more. The total royalty for
any lot can not be more than 12,500 euros. The percentages are as follows: 4% up to 50,000 / 3% between 50,001 and 20,000.

Please enquire for the accepted exchange rate on the day of the sale.
