The highest and last bidder will be the purchaser.

This form, accompanied by the bidder's bank details, must be received by PBA no later than two days before the sale. In the event of identical bids, the earliest will take precedence. Telephone bids are a free service designed for clients who are unable to be present at auction. Pierre Bergé & associés cannot be held responsible for any problems due to technical difficulties.


REMOVAL OF PURCHASES

From the moment the hammer falls, sold items will be in the exclusive responsability of the buyer. Transportation and storage will be invalided to the buyer. The buyer will be solely res-ponsible for insurance, and Pierre Bergé & associés assumes no fiability for any damage items may incur from the time the hammer falls. All transportation arrangements are the sole responsability of the buyer.


PRE-EMPTION

In certain cases, the French State is entitled to use its right of pre-emption on works of art or private documents. This means that the state substitutes itself for the last bidder and becomes the buyer. In such a case, a representative of the French State announces the exercise of the pre-emption right during the auction and immediately after the lot has been sold, and this declaration will be recorded in the official sale record. The French State will have then fifteen (15) days to confirm the pre-emption decision. Pierre Bergé & associés will not be held responsible for any administrative decisions of the French State regarding the use of its right of pre-emption.
