3. Care is taken to ensure that any statement as to authorship, attributions, date, age, provenance and condition is reliable and accurate but all such statements are statements of opinion and are not to be taken as statements or presentations of fact. The auctioneers disclaim any liability for themselves or the Vendor for any errors of description.
4. The highest bidder shall be the buyer, subject to any reserves. If any dispute arises the Auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to settle it or to put any disputed lot up again. The auctioneers decision is absolute and final.

6. All lots are sold as seen with all faults and imperfections. A full condition report is recomended - please contact us prior to the sale day by email or telephone. Neither the auctioneers nor the vendor are liable for any faults or defects . Each bidder must satisfy themselves by enquiry as to the condition and description of the lot including any damage, repairs or restoration. No warranty whatever is given by the Auctioneers or Vendor to any buyer in respect of any lot. Where a condition fault is noted in the catalogue it does not necessarily indicate that that it is the only damage. The abbreviation a/f indicates a lot is damaged.
7. Before bidding all Purchasers must register with their full name, address, telephone number and email. Bidding by telephone and commission directly with the auctioneers will be accepted.
8. Acting as agents the Auctioneers shall not be responsible for default on the

This will not apply if the description indicates that there was any conflict of opinion or the auctioneers opinion is in general accordance with the general opinion of experts. The burden of proof lies with the purchaser who must produce evidence that the lot is a forgery.
15. Payment can be made by debit card or credit card via your invoice, by bank transfer or by card at the saleroom. Unfortunately we can no longer accept cash due to our banking restrictions. The purchaser will be asked to pay by bank transfer for gold, silver, high value items or larger invoices.
