Conditions of Sale Affecting purchasers
1 Purchasers will be deemed a) to: have inspected their lots prior to the sale; b) to have accepted that lots are sold with all faults and imperfections specifically mentioned, or not, irrespective of whether they bid in person, by commission or through an agent.
2 All goods are second hand and sold without warranty unless otherwise stated in the sale catalogue or by the auctioneer from the rostrum. Any implied warranty, condition or other term is excluded except where to do so would be unlawful.
3 The auctioneers undertake that care has been taken to see that catalogue descriptions are accurate and reliable. However, these are matters of opinion only and shall not be taken to be statements of fact.
4 The auctioneers act as agents to the vendor and shall not incur liability to any purchaser for any statement, representation or
warranty as to title, quality or otherwise of any lot made on behalf of and with the vendor’s authority. Likewise the auctioneers shall
incur no liability to a purchaser arising from any defect in goods sold save in the event of negligence on the part of the auctioneers or their employees. Any liability therefore shall be a matter for dispute between purchaser and vendor only.

conditions in respect of their own purchase under the hammer.
11 Private treaty sales shall be subject to these conditions of sale where applicable.
