In these conditions, Claydon Auctioneers Ltd. – who act as auctioneers and agents for the vendor – are called ‘The Auctioneers’ and the representative of Claydon Auctioneers Ltd. conducting the Auction is called ‘The Auctioneer’.

General
Whilst Claydon Auctioneers Ltd. make every effort to ensure the accuracy of their catalogue and the description of any lot:
I. Each lot as set out in the catalogue or as divided or combined with any other lot, or lots, is sold by the vendor with all faults, imperfections and errors of descriptions.
II. Claydon Auctioneers Ltd. do not accept any responsibility for the authenticity, attribution, genuineness, origin, authorship, date, age, period, condition or quality of any lot unless they have been instructed in writing by the vendor so to certify and in such cases the auctioneers do so as agents for the vendor and are not themselves responsible for such claims.
III. All statements, whether printed in the catalogue or made orally as to any of the matters set out in b. above are statements of opinion only and are not to be taken as being or implying any warranties or representations of fact by Claydon Auctioneers Ltd., unless they have been instructed in writing by the vendor so to certify, and in such cases Claydon Auctioneers Ltd. do so as agents of the vendor and are themselves not responsible for such claims.
IV. Any claim under any statute must be received in writing by the auctioneer within ten days of the sale.


The Auction
I. The auctioneer has the absolute discretion to divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots or to withdraw any lot, or lots, from the sale, to refuse bids, regulate bidding or cancel the sale without in any case giving reason or without previous notice. He/she may bid on behalf of the vendor for all goods which are being offered subject to reserve or at the auctioneers discretion.
II. The highest bidder shall be the buyer except in the case of a dispute. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen, he/she has absolute discretion to settle it or re-offer the lot. The auctioneer may at his/her sole discretion determine the advances or bidding or refuse a bid.
III. Each lot is put up for sale subject to any reserve price placed by the vendor. Where there is no reserve price (but not otherwise) the seller has the right to bid either personally or by any one person (who may be the auctioneer).
IV. All conditions, notices, descriptions, statements and other matters in the catalogue and elsewhere concerning any lot are subject to any statements modifying or affecting the same made by the auctioneer from the rostrum prior to any bid being accepted for the lot.


Inspection
Each buyer by making a bid for a lot acknowledges that he/she has satisfied him/herself fully before bidding by inspection or otherwise in accordance with all sale terms and conditions, physical condition and description of the lot, including but not restricted to whether the lot is damaged or has been repaired or restored. We may be able to assist buyers unable to view by emailing a condition report, but these are based solely on our own opinion and are for guidance only and no responsibility is accepted for their accuracy. Intending buyers are strongly encouraged to view. Condition reports cannot be prepared on the day of the sale.

Electrical goods
These are sold as decorative only. If you buy electrical goods for use you must ask a qualified electrician to check them for compliance with safety regulations before you use them.

Property and Risk
Legal title will not pass to the buyer until the lot(s) have been paid for in full and the Auctioneers shall be entitled to a lien on any lot sold until the purchase price is paid in full, but each lot is at the sole risk of the buyer from the fall of the hammer.

Payment
Lots must be paid for before they are collected. For those attending the auction we ask that lots are paid for on the day of the sale. Payment methods and restrictions are outlined in our buying guide.

Purchase Price
The purchaser of any lot shall pay the hammer price plus a premium (together with VAT) on the premium at the appropriate rate and on the hammer price at the appropriate rate if applicable on that lot. Lots marked with a * are subject to a 20% VAT on hammer price as well as the buyers premium. The premium shall be calculated at 21.5% + VAT (minimum of £1 per lot plus VAT). The premium is to be paid by all purchasers. The amount invoiced in respect of the premium will be inclusive of VAT but this VAT will not normally be recoverable by the buyer. The vendor authorises the auctioneer to deduct commission and expenses form the hammer price and to retain the premium payable by the purchaser.

Estimates
Estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and do not include the buyers Premium (or VAT when this is paid on the hammer price). These are purely intended as a guide to prospective purchasers and may be altered before the auction of the lot. They are not definitive.

Droit de Suite / ARR
Certain works of art within our sales may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. Under this legislation, we are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art, where the artist is still living. This royalty will be charged to the buyer on the hammer price and in addition to the buyers premium. It will not apply to works where the hammer price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above €1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the auctioneers. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT.

Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk

He/she shall have no claim against Claydon Auctioneers Ltd., its employees or agents in respect of accident which may occur, or injury, damage or loss however caused, save in so far as the injury damage or loss shall be caused by the direct negligence of Claydon Auctioneers Ltd. employees.

Buying Guide

For the auction novice, buying at auction is not as daunting as it may seem. At Claydon Auctioneers our auctions follow a traditional format taking place live at our saleroom, with the additional benefit of online bidding, which complements the traditional bidding process. Online bidding allows you to bid from the comfort of your own home or office, on your computer, mobile device or tablet. We offer online bidding via our own website, as well as popular bidding platforms.

Fees

The hammer price is the amount achieved at auction. In addition to the hammer price, there will be a Buyer’s Premium charge of 21.5% + VAT (25.8% inclusive of VAT)

For example:
Hammer price - £100.00
Premium at 21.5% of £100.00 = £21.50
VAT at 20% of £21.50 = £4.30
Total price to pay = £125.80

This is a popular service for those who are unable to bid live.
