Failure granting these authorizations cannot justify the cancellation of the purchase or the non-payment. Each lot offered for sale at auction may have been the subject of a declaration of cultural interest by the Ministry of goods and cultural and touristic activities pursuant to art. 13 of the Urbani Code. In this case - or in the case where in relation to the lot a process of declaration of cultural interest has been started pursuant to art. 14 of the Urbani Code - Art La Rosa will give communication in the catalog and/or through an announcement of the auctioneer before the lot is offered for sale.

Obtaining a license or an importation certificate does not guarantee the obtainment of a license or certificate for exportation and vice versa.

Before making any offer, it is the Buyer's responsibility to obtain such import/export licenses/ certificates, as well as any other required document
