PHILATELIC AUCTIONEERS STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE (1983 REVISION)
Subject to which all lots are offered at this Auction at
which members of the public are present bidding against
each other for themselves or as agents.
NOTICE:
The Auctioneers exercise all reasonable care to ensure
that all statements as to cancellations, centering, colour,
condition, date of issue or of postal marking, gum,
margins, paper, perforation, printing, provenance, quality,
sheet position, status, usage, watermarks, etc., in lot
descriptions are reliable and accurate, and that each item
is genuine unless the contrary is indicated. However,
the statements are not intended to be, and are not to be
taken to be, statements of fact or representations of fact
in relation to the lot. They are statements of the opinion
of the auctioneers, and the attention is particularly drawn
to Clause 5 of the PHILATELIC AUCTIONEERS STANDARD
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE (1983 REVISION) set
out below. Comments and opinions concerning the
characteristics mentioned above, which may be found in
or on lots as notes, lists, catalogue prices, writing up or
any other means of expression, do not constitute part of
lot descriptions and are not to be taken as such unless
they are made or specifically verified by the auctioneers.
Clause 1.
a) Each lot is put up subject to any reserve price imposed
by the vendor.
b) Subject to sub clause (a) of this clause, the highest
bidder for each lot shall be the purchaser thereof, at
the fall of the hammer.
c) If any dispute arises as to the highest bidder, the
auctioneer shall have the absolute discretion to
determine the dispute and may put up again and
resell the lot in respect of which the dispute arises.
Clause 2.
a) The bidding and advances shall be regulated by and
at the absolute discretion of the auctioneer, and he
shall have the right to refuse any bid or bids.
NOTE: Where an agent bids, even on behalf of a
disclosed client, the auctioneer nevertheless has the
right at his discretion to refuse any such bid.
b) The purchaser of each lot shall immediately on its sale
if required by the auctioneer give to him the name and
address of the purchaser and pay to the auctioneer
at his discretion the whole or part of the purchase
money. If the purchaser of any lot fails to comply
with any such requirement the auctioneer may put up
again and resell the lot; if upon such resale a lower
price is obtained than was obtained on the first sale
the purchaser in default on the first sale shall make
good the difference in price and expenses of resale,
which shall become a debt due from him.
c) Where an agent purchases on behalf of an
undisclosed client such agent shall be personally
liable for payment of the purchase money to the
auctioneer and for safe delivery of the lots to the said
client.
Clause 3.
a) The auctioneer reserves the right to bid on behalf of
clients and vendors.
b) The auctioneer reserves the right before or during
the sale to group together lots belonging to the
same vendor, to split up and withdraw a lot or lots
at the auctioneers absolute discretion and without
giving any reason in any case (without liability to any
potential purchaser).
c) The auctioneer acts as agent only, and therefore
shall not be liable for any default of the purchaser
(provided he has not handed over the goods) or
vendor.
Clause 4.
a) Each lot shall be at the purchaser’s risk from the fall
of the hammer and shall be paid for in full before
delivery and taken away at his expense by a purchaser
in the United Kingdom within 7 days from the date of
sale and by a purchaser overseas within 14 days from
the date of sale or such longer time as shall be agreed
in writing between the auctioneers and purchaser.
b)If any purchaser fails to pay in full for any lot within
the time stated in sub clause (a) of this clause, such
lot may at any time thereafter at the auctioneer’s
discretion, be put up for sale by auction again or sold
privately; if upon such resale a lower price is obtained
than was obtained on the first sale, the purchaser
in default on the first sale shall make good the
difference in price and the expenses of resale, which
shall become a debt due from him.
c)Interest shall be payable by the purchaser on any
overdue account.
Clause 5.
a) Each lot is sold as (1) GENUINE unless otherwise
described in the sale catalogue or by the auctioneer
and (2) CORRECTLY DESCRIBED (see also Clause
5(f)). The date of any certificate forming part of
the description of any lot will be included in the
description.
b)A purchaser shall be at liberty to reject any lot if he (i)
gives the auctioneer written notice (if possible before
the sale) of intention to question the genuineness of,
as the case may be, the accuracy of that description
of the lot within 7 days (or in the case of an overseas
purchaser to be in the auctioneer’s hands within 21
days from the date of sale) AND (ii) proves that the lot
is not genuine or was incorrectly described; AND (iii)
returns to the auctioneer within 30 days from the date
of sale, the lot in the same condition as it was at the
time of sale; provided that the auctioneer may, at his
absolute discretion, on receiving a request in writing
from the purchaser, extend for a reasonable period
the time for the return of the lot, to enable it to be
submitted to an agreed expert or expert committee.
NOTE: The onus of proving a lot not to be genuine,
or incorrectly described, is on the purchaser. The
inability of a recognised expert or an expert committee
to express a definite opinion shall serve to discharge
the onus on the purchaser and shall be a ground for
rejecting the lot concerned.
c)Where a lot has been submitted for an expert opinion,
all costs for such an option shall be paid by the
person who retains the item or items to which the
opinion relates.
d)Where the purchaser of a lot discharges the onus and
acts in accordance with sub clause (b) of this clause,
the auctioneer shall rescind the sale and repay to the
purchaser the purchase money paid by him in respect
of the lot.
e)No lot shall be rejected if, subsequent to the sale, it
has been immersed in water, marked by an expert or
expert committee, or treated by any other process,
unless the auctioneer’s permission to subject the lot
to such immersion, marking or treatment, has first
been obtained in writing.
(NOTE: Many Continental experts now mark forged
stamps; therefore it is essential for permission to be
obtained from the auctioneers BEFORE submitting to
these experts).
f)Any lot listed under “collections and various” or
stated to comprise or contain a collection, issues
or stamps, which are undescribed, shall be put
up for sale, not subject to rejection, and shall be
taken by the purchaser with all (if any) faults, lack of
genuineness, and errors of description, and numbers
of stamps within the lot, and the purchaser shall have
no right to reject the lot; except that, notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this sub clause, where
before a sale a person intending to bid at the sale
gives notice in writing to, and satisfies the auctioneer
that any such lot contains any item or items NOT
described in the sale catalogue, and that person
specifically describes that item or those items in
that notice, then that item or those items shall, as
between the auctioneer and that person, be taken to
form part of the description of the lot for the purposes
of sub clauses (a), (b) and (d) of this clause.
g)No lot illustrated in the catalogue shall be rejected
on the ground of cancellation, centering, margins,
perforation or other characteristics clearly apparent
from the illustration.
Clause 6.
The respective rights and obligations of the parties shall
be governed and interpreted by English Law, and the
buyer hereby submits to the non exclusive jurisdiction of
the English Courts.
