2.2 Property is offered in the condition that it is in at the time of sale on the following basis:

(a) You acknowledge and accept that our knowledge in relation to any Property is dependent, in part, upon information provided to us by the Seller, and we are not able to and do not carry out exhaustive due diligence on all Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we shall exercise reasonable care when making express statements about the Property.

(b) All lots are available for inspection upon request and we encourage you to inspect the Property before making an offer or bidding. We accept bids and offers on the basis that you have inspected the lot prior to the sale and have satisfied yourself with respect to the condition of the Property and the accuracy of its description.



(c) All statements we make with respect to the Property (whether oral or written, in any auction catalogue, Online Shop description, condition or other report, commentary or valuation, or elsewhere) are statements of opinion and are not to be relied upon as statements of fact. The opening bid for Property offered for sale at auction ("Starting Price") and the listed sales price for Property offered for sale via the Online Shop ("Offering Price") may not be relied on as a statement of the value of the Property or of any opinion of the value of the Property. We and the Seller shall not be liable for any difference between the Starting Price or Offering Price for any Property, and the actual price the Property is sold.

(d) Descriptions of the Property may refer to particular damage, defects, imperfections, or restoration. Such references are for guidance only.

The maximum bidding price is the maximum price you authorize us to bid, and if accepted as the winning bid, it will be included in the Purchase Price that you agree to pay for the Property. The maximum bidding price shall not be lower than the Starting Price and shall only constitute the Purchase Price (i.e., ultimate winning bid price), excluding the buyer's premium, costs of shipping and shipping insurance, any artists' rights royalty or applicable sales taxes.

In such case, we will treat the notification as a cancellation of the purchase order, which may be subject to a cancellation fee. Should you fail to notify us in accordance with the preceding sentence, we shall have the right to comply with the purchase order.

(g) If any absentee bid results in the winning bid, you agree to enter into a purchase agreement resulting from that bid.
