Conditions of Sale
Before placing a bid at one of our auctions, please read our general conditions of sale carefully.
The French version takes precedence in the event of any difficulties of interpretation
- PAYMENT
Sales are expressly concluded in return for immediate cash payment.
Buyer's premium:
24% IAT regardless of the lot.
Payment is made by card or bank transfer.
If the buyer fails to payin full within the thirty
days following the sale, the seller can request
that the goods be resubmitted for auction
within three months, at the expense of the defaulting bidder ('revente sur folle enchère'). The
latter must bear the cost of any unfavourable difference inprice between their bid at the initial
auction and the price obtained at the second
auction, as well as all costs incurred by second
auction. No advantage can be drawn from any
favourable difference in price at the second auction,which shall be wholly payable to the seller.
No reimbursement can be made for amounts
paid by the buyer before the seller and
ROUILLAC SAS have settled all amounts owing
to them. There-submission of goods for auction
following the default of a bidder in no way prevents the sellers and ROUILLAC SAS taking
legal action for damages against the defaulting
bidder.
