FULL TERMS & CONDITIONS BELOW:

Introduction

By registering to bid or placing a bid with Aston’s Auctioneers & Valuers Limited you as the buyer agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions.

The representative of Aston’s Auctioneers & Valuers Limited conducting the sale by auction is called the “Auctioneer”.

For all purposes of sale the Auctioneer shall be deemed to be the agents of both the vendor and the buyer.

As agent the Auctioneer cannot be responsible for any default by either the vendor or buyer.

Upon the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer a legally binding contract of sale is created between the vendor and the buyer.

A “lot” is one or more items catalogued together for the purposes of selling at auction in one transaction.

The “hammer price” is the price at which the auctioneer’s hammer falls and the final sale price.

Each lot is put up for sale subject to any reserve price placed by the vendor. The Auctioneer may exercise the right to bid on behalf of the vendor up to the value of the reserve price.

All lots are 'sold as seen' - it is your responsibility to view the items in person or obtain a detailed 'condition report' from the auctioneer before deciding how much to bid.

The vendor will duly indemnify Aston’s Auctioneers & Valuers Limited in connection with any goods sold on thevendor’s behalf.

Buyer’s Premium

A Buyer’s Premium is payable by the successful bidder on the hammer price of each lot as follows:

All Bidders:

Buyer’s Premium is 25% +VAT (30% inc. VAT) - this includes the online bidding surcharge.

Registration

Before you can place a bid, you must register your details with our office. Registration is free.

Registering online via the-saleroom.com

This type of registration is only available for sales with Live Internet Bidding and only allows you to 'bid live online' or leave a commission bid. If you wish to attend the auction in person you must register with one of the other two methods shown above.

Simply visit www.the-saleroom.com and follow the instructions to register.

Data Protection – Aston’s Auctioneers & Valuers Limited will never share any of your personal details with any third party company for any reason.

Bidding

Each buyer, by making their final bid for a lot acknowledges that they have satisfied themselves before bidding as to the physical condition of the lot and whether the lot is damaged or has been repaired, as NO REFUNDS CAN BE GIVEN WHATSOEVER.

Each lot is sold with all faults, imperfections and errors of description. Neither Aston’s Auctioneers & Valuers Limited nor the vendor are responsible for the authenticity, attribution, genuineness, origin, authorship, date, age, period, condition or quality of any lot.

All statements in the sale catalogue or elsewhere including any verbal statements made by the staff of Aston’s Auctioneers & Valuers Limited are statements of opinion only, and are not to be taken as being or implying representations of fact.

All auctions conducted by Aston’s Auctioneers & Valuers Limited have designated public viewing times during which the lots offered for sale can be inspected by prospective buyers. Photographs and brief descriptions of lots can be viewed online for many of our sales, but it must be noted that there is an ‘opportunity to view’ for all buyers and as such the buyer is still responsible for satisfying themselves as to the physical condition of the lot prior to bidding.

For potential buyers who are unable to travel to the saleroom we offer a professional ‘Condition Report’ service – i.e. we can provide a detailed written description of the lot to assist the buyer in their decision to make bid. Additional photographs may also be provided.

If you are unknown to us or if you are bidding from outside the UK we require payment by Bank Transfer.

In the interests of Fraud Prevention we reserve the right to refuse "cardholder not present" transactions for Credit and Debit Cards.

If we haven’t received payment from you within 7 days of the auction we reserve the right to Charge your Credit or Debit Card in your absence for the total amount owing.

If we are unable to obtain any payment or communication from you after 7 days from the auction date we will assume that you have defaulted on your obligation to purchase the lot from the vendor. This may subsequently result in legal action from Aston’s Auctioneers & Valuers Limited or the vendor.

Furthermore – once it has been deemed that you have defaulted on the sale contract, we reserve the right to pursue our Buyer’s Premium charge from you. We also reserve the right to re-offer the lot for sale on behalf of the vendor.
