Auction conditions for consignments

1. The items listed in the auction contract or in a separate list are voluntarily auctioned against the highest bid in the name of and for the account of the client (consignor). The objects are the unrestricted property of the client, free of third party rights and are used. The auctioneer evaluates information regarding quality, completeness, authenticity, location, condition and time determinations made orally or in writing by the client as established facts and assured properties that he no longer has to check. In the case of factual groups, individual items are not designated.

 

2. The client pays a commission of 20% of the respective hammer price to the auctioneer plus statutory VAT. If the client withdraws the order in whole or in part, he has to pay 15% of the lower estimated price, not the limit, to the auctioneer and to reimburse the costs already incurred (photos, printing or film costs, etc.).

 

3. The items will be knocked down in accordance with the auction conditions. If a limit is agreed, it is noted in the list. Insofar as the client has not set a minimum price, the auctioneer will award the bid according to its due discretion.

 

4. The client waives estimates and appraisals by publicly appointed experts. If so desired, the costs are borne by the client.

 

5. The auction house bears all costs for carrying out the auction. All transport costs and special requests, such as insurance on transport, are paid by the client or the consignor.

 

6. The auction conditions binding for the buyer are set by the auction house. It is authorized to reserve the surcharge. Liability for receipt of the proceeds only exists after the purchase items have been handed over to the buyer. The auction house can collect and sue for purchase monies, arrears and ancillary costs on behalf of the client.

 

7. The auction proceeds will be paid out to the client approx. 4 weeks after the auction, which requires that the buyer has made the payment by this point in time. Offsetting against claims of the auctioneer against the client as well as the deduction of the final money owed to the auctioneer, special requests and cash payments are permitted. The client is responsible for transferring information in accordance with copyright law. The request for information according to § UStR is guaranteed.

 

8. Delivery and delivery, transport and storage of the auction items are carried out at the risk and expense of the client.

 

9. The auction house insures items for the duration of the preparation and the auction, plus 14 days after the auction against fire, burglary and water in the amount of the limit prices. There is no further liability. The sum insured is € 20 per contract. The client has no higher claims against the auctioneer than the auction house has against the insurer.

 

10. All liability expires 14 days after the auction at the latest. The items not auctioned
can then without a reminder on behalf of the customer at his own risk and expense
be stored in a carrier.

 

11. Goods that have not been auctioned can be freely sold to the limit. The agreed commission for the auction house remains. If it is agreed with the consignor that the objects will be taken over in the next auction, the objects will remain insured. The second appearance of the items means a 50% reduction in the limit price.

 

12. This contract contains all agreements between the client and the auction house as auctioneer. Oral subsidiary agreements require written confirmation.

 

13. I am aware that this contract is based on the auction terms and conditions. I have taken note of its content and I agree to its validity. Confirmation by signature.

 

14. Any acceptable offer up to an estimated price of € 150 can be knocked down in the auction.
