书面竞投<br>书面竞投是准买家以书面指示拍得高代其在不超过其指定金额之下竞投拍卖品。拍得高 之人员将参考底价，尽力以最低价进行竞投。若拍得高在同一拍卖品收到两个或以上竞投价相同的书面竞投，则该拍卖品归于其书面竞投最先送抵拍得高之买家。拍 卖官有权直接于拍卖台上执行书面竞投，并指明为『不在场竞投』或『书面竞投』。书面竞投表格可向拍得高索取。<br>在没有更高叫价的情况下，对不设底价的拍卖品所提交的不在场投标，会以售前估价下限大约50%成交，但是若该投标低于售前估价下限的50%，则以该投标价成交。<br>10. 电话竞投<br>准

方便不能亲身出席拍卖, 或不能由代理人或通过电话拍卖的客户, 如拍得高在竞投开始前收到书面竞投, 则会尽其合理努力代其竞投。如拍得高就某一拍卖品收到多个竞投价相等之书面竞投, 而在拍卖时此等竞价为拍卖品最高之竞投价, 则该拍卖品会售予书面竞投最先送抵本公司而被接纳之人。除非在竞投时有其他委托, 此项书面竞投的执行是本公司免费服务。拍得高不会因未能执行书面竞投,

of Sale<br>Later in this catalogue, the Conditions of Sale and Limited Warranty of Paidegao are set out. Bidders are strongly encouraged to read these as they set out the terms on which property is bought at auction.<br>2.&nbsp;Estimates<br>Estimates are based on prices recently paid at auction for comparable property, condition, rarity, quality and provenance. Estimates are subject to revision. Buyers should not rely upon estimates as a representation or prediction of actual selling prices. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium. Where “Estimate on Request” appears, please contact Paidegao for further information.<br>3.&nbsp;Reserves<br>Some lots are offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold.

To avoid any delay in the release of purchases, please contact Paidegao to arrange cheque or credit approval in advance of the auction.<br>8.&nbsp;Bidding<br>The auctioneer accepts bid from those present in the saleroom, from telephone bidders, or by absentee written bids left with Paidegao prior to the auction. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. He or she may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve. Such bids may be consecutive or be placed in response to other bidders. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor. The auctioneer will not place any bid on behalf of the consignor at or above the reserve.<br>9.&nbsp;Absentee Bids<br>Absentee bids are written instructions from prospective buyers directing Paidegao to bid on their behalf up to a maximum amount specified for each lot. Paidegao’s staff will attempt to execute an absentee bid at the lowest possible price taking into account the reserve price. If Paidegao receives identical bids from two or more parties, the first bid received and accepted will take priority. The auctioneer has the right to execute absentee bids directly from the rostrum, identifying these as “absentee bids”, “book bids” or “commission bids”. Absentee Bids Forms are available on request.<br>Absentee bids submitted on “no-reserve” lots will be executed, only if there is no higher bid, at approximately 50% of the low pre-sale estimate or at the amount of the bid if it is less than 50% of the low pre-sale estimate.<br>10.&nbsp;Telephone Bids<br>Prospective buyers may bid by telephone during the course of the auction. To participate in the bidding by telephone, a prospective buyer may make advance arrangements with Paidegao at least 24 hours before the commencement of the auction. Telephone bids may be recorded. By bidding on the telephone, prospective purchasers consent to the recording of their conversation. Telephone bids are not accepted for lots estimated below HK$10,000. Telephone bidding services are offered for the convenience of our clients. Paidegao will use reasonable efforts to contact prospective buyers but we are not liable for the failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding.<br>11.&nbsp;Successful Bids<br>The highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer, subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, will be the buyer. The striking hammer indicates that the highest bid has been accepted and that a contract for sale between the seller and the buyer has been concluded. Successful bidders will pay the price of the final bid plus commission together with any applicable VAT. The results of absentee bids will be sent by mail after auction.<br>12.&nbsp;Auction Results<br>Please contact Paidegao by phone to obtain spoken results for specific lots or faxed results for an entire sale.<br>13.&nbsp;Payment<br>Buyers must pay the full amount due (including the hammer price, buyer’s premium and any applicable taxes) by 4:30pm on or before the seventh working days following the sale. This applies even if the buyer plans to export the lot and an export license is, or may be, required. The buyer will only acquire title to the lot when all amounts due from the buyer to Paidegao have been received in good cleared funds, even if Paidegao has released the lot to the buyer. Preferably, payment should be made by telegraphic transfer directly to Paidegao’s account at: -<br>[DETAILS]<br>Please include your name and invoice number with your instructions to the bank.<br>Personal and company cheques are accepted but purchases will not be released until such cheques have cleared.

For all other property, no statement of condition is made and only alterations or replacement components are listed.

Clients should check with the regulating body in the country of importation regarding any possible importation restrictions on within this category.<br>Explanation of Cataloguing Practice<br>Paidegao uses the following expression with their accompanying explanations as standard cataloguing practice. The use of these expressions does not take account of the condition of the lot or of the extent of any restoration.<br>For Paintings, Prints and Works of Art<br>A work catalogued with the name(s) or recognised designation of an artist or maker, without any qualification, is in our opinion, a work by the artist or maker. In other cases, the following words or expressions, with the following meanings are used:<br>Buyers are advised to inspect the property themselves. Written condition reports are usually available on demand.<br>To prospective buyers of Clocks<br>In the catalogue description of the lot, where possible, significant damage is mentioned. No warranty is given that any clock is in working order. The catalogue description of any Lot does not imply such a warranty or indicate the absence of restoration or repair. The catalogue description should not be taken as a statement as to the condition of the Lot or the state of conservation. Not all clocks are sold with pendulums, wrights or keys. Please refer to the catalogue descriptions for details about what is sold with each Lot.<br>CONDITIONS OF SALE<br>These Conditions of Sale and the Important Notices and Explanation of Catalogue Practice contain all the terms on which Paidegao International Auctioneer Limited (“Paidegao”) and the seller contract with the buyer. They may be amended by posted notices or oral announcement made during the sale. By bidding at auction the bidder agrees to be bound by these terms.<br>1.&nbsp;PAIDEGAO AS AGENT<br>The role of Paidegao is the agent for the seller, except as otherwise stated. The contract for sale of the property is made between the seller and the buyer.<br>2.&nbsp;BEFORE THE SALE<br>(a)&nbsp;Examination of property<br>Before the commencement of the auction, prospective buyers ought to examine any property they are interested in personally. Condition reports are usually available on demand. Neither Paidegao nor the seller provides any guarantee concerning the nature of property, apart from the Limited Warranty (Please refer to paragraph 6 below). Otherwise, the property is sold “as is”.<br>(b)&nbsp;Catalogue and other descriptions<br>All statements made orally or in writing by us, in the catalogue entry for the property, the condition report or elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be deemed as statements of fact. Such statements do not make up a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by us of any kind. References in the catalogue entry or the condition report to damage or restoration are only for guidance and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not indicate that an item is free from defects or restoration. A reference to particular defects does not imply the absence of any others. Estimates of the selling price do not suggest the actual selling price or the value for any other purpose. Neither Paidegao nor the seller assumes responsibility in any way for errors and omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material (except as set forth in paragraph 6 below).<br>(c)&nbsp;Buyer’s responsibility<br>Without any representation or warranty of any kind by Paidegao or the seller, all property is sold “as is” (except as stated in the Limited Warranty in paragraph 6 below). It is buyers’ responsibility to satisfy themselves regarding the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalogue entry.<br>3.&nbsp;AT THE SALE<br>(a)&nbsp;Refusal of admission<br>At its complete discretion, Paidegao has the right to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid.<br>(b)&nbsp;Registration before bidding<br>Before bidding, a prospective buyer must complete and sign a form of registration and provide identification. The production of bank or other financial references may be required.<br>(c)&nbsp;Bidding as principal<br>By making a bid, a bidder accepts personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium and all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable charges. Bidding as agent on behalf of an identified third party has to be explicitly agreed in writing with Paidegao before the sale commences. If this is the case, Paidegao will only look to the principal for payment.<br>(d)&nbsp;Absentee bids<br>For the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by phone, written bids may be delivered to Paidegao in advance of the sale. Paidegao will put reasonable efforts in carrying out such bids. If Paidegao receives written bids on a particular lot for identical amount, and at the auction these are the highest bids on the lot, such lot will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale. Paidegao is not liable for the failure to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with it.<br>(e)&nbsp;Telephone bids<br>To participate in the bidding by telephone, a prospective buyer may make advance arrangements with Paidegao before the commencement of the sale. Paidegao will use reasonable efforts to contact prospective buyers but we are not liable for the failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding.<br>(f)&nbsp;Currency converter<br>A currency converter may be operated at some auctions. Errors may occur in the operation of the currency converter. Bidders are advised to follow the actual bidding in the saleroom. We do not accept liability to bidders who follow the currency converter rather than the actual bidding in the saleroom.<br>(g)&nbsp;Video or digital images<br>Video or digital screen may be used at some auctions. Errors may occur in the operation and the quality of the image may not be satisfying. We do not accept liability for such errors.<br>Paidegao reserves the right to videotape and record proceedings at any auctions. Any personal information obtained will be held in confidence by Paidegao. For the purpose of customer analysis, such information may be used or shared with our affiliates and marketing partners. Any buyer who does not wish to be videotaped may arrange to make a telephone bid. For details, please refer to paragraph 3(e) above.<br>(h)&nbsp;Reserves<br>Some lots are offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. He or she may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve. Such bids may be consecutive or be placed in response to other bidders.<br>Regarding the lots that are offered without reserve, in his or her discretion, the auctioneer will generally open the bidding at 50% of the low pre-sale estimate for the lot, unless there are already competing bids. If a bid at that level is absent, in his or her discretion, the auctioneer will proceed backwards until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. In case a higher bid is absent, absentee bid will be executed at about 50% of the low pre-sale estimate, or at the amount of the bid if it is less than 50% of the low pre-sale estimate.<br>(i)&nbsp;Auctioneer’s discretion<br>At his absolute and sole discretion, the auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in a manner he may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots and, in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. Our sale record is conclusive in case of dispute after the sale.<br>(j)&nbsp;Successful bid and passing of risk<br>The highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer, subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, will be the buyer. The striking hammer indicates that the highest bid has been accepted and that a contract for sale between the seller and the buyer has been concluded. Risk and responsibility for the lot, but not its title, passes to the buyer at the expiration of seventh working days from the date of the sale or on collection by the buyer if earlier.<br>4.&nbsp;AFTER THE SALE<br>(a)&nbsp;Buyer’s premium<br>The buyer agrees to pay to Paidegao the buyer’s premium plus any applicable tax and charges, in addition to the hammer price. The buyer’s premium is 15% of the hammer price of each lot.<br>Payment and passing of title<br>The buyer must provide us immediately after the sale with his or her name and permanent address and, upon request, details of the bank for payment. The buyer must pay the full amount due (including the hammer price, buyer’s premium and any applicable taxes) by 4:30pm on or before the seventh working days following the sale. This applies even if the buyer plans to export the lot and an export license is, or may be, required. The buyer will only acquire title to the lot when all amounts due from the buyer to Paidegao have been received in good cleared funds, even if Paidegao has released the lot to the buyer.<br>(b)&nbsp;Collection of purchases<br>Paidegao has the right to retain items sold until all amounts due to Paidegao has been received in full in good cleared funds, or until the buyer has satisfied other terms required by, in its sole discretion, Paidegao. The buyer is then entitled to collect purchased lots within thirty-five days from the date of the sale, unless otherwise agreed between Paidegao and the buyer. If the lot is not collected within this period, Paidegao shall arrange storage at the buyer’s expense at HK$50 per lot per day.<br>(c)&nbsp;Packing, handling and shipping<br>Paidegao shall use reasonable efforts to take care when handling, packing and shipping a purchased lot. However, we assume no responsibility for the acts or omissions of third parties whom we might retain for these purposes. Paidegao may suggest other handlers, packers or carriers upon request but Paidegao does not accept responsibility or liability for their acts or omissions.<br>(d)&nbsp;Export/ Import license<br>It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import license. Any denial of or delay in license applications shall not justify the rescission of any sale nor any delay in making full payment for the lot.<br>Unless agreed by Paidegao in writing, the buyer is under the obligation to make payments within seven days. Such obligation and Paidegao’s right to charge interest or storage charges on late payment are not affected by the buyer’s plan to apply for an export license. In case the buyer requests Paidegao to apply for an export license on his or her behalf, Paidegao has the right to make a charge for this service.

If Paidegao pays any amount to the seller under paragraph (v) above, the buyer acknowledges that Paidegao has all of the rights of the seller, however arising, to pursue the buyer for such amount.<br>(f)&nbsp;Failure to collect purchases<br>In case the lots purchased are not collected within thirty-five days from the date of the sale, whether or not payment has been made, Paidegao is entitled to arrange storage at the buyer’s expense at HK$50 per lot per day and to release the items only after the payment in full has been made of removal, storage, handling, insurance and any other costs arose, plus payment of all other amounts due to Paidegao.<br>5.&nbsp;EXTENT OF PAIDEGAO’S LIABILITY<br>In the circumstances of the Limited Warranty set out in paragraph 6 below, Paidegao agrees to refund the purchase price.
