Conditions of sale
Please note: it is assumed that all bidders at auction have read and agreed to the conditions described on this page.
ART+OBJECT directors are available during the auction viewing to clarify any questions you may have.
1.
Registration: Only registered bidders may bid at auction. You are required
to complete a bidding card or absentee bidding form prior to the auction
giving your correct name, address and telephone contact + supplementary
information such as email addresses that you may wish to supply to
ART+OBJECT
2.
Bidding: The highest bidder will be the purchaser subject to the auctioneer
accepting the winning bid and any vendor’s reserve having been reached. The
auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid. If this takes place or in the event of a
dispute the auctioneer may call for bids at the previous lowest bid and proceed
from this point. Bids advance at sums decreed by the auctioneer unless
signaled otherwise by the auctioneer. No bids may be retracted. The auctioneer
retains the right to bid on behalf of the vendor up to the reserve figure.
3.
Reserve: Lots are offered and sold subject to the vendor’s reserve price being
met.
4.
Lots offered and sold as described and viewed: ART+OBJECT makes
all attempts to accurately describe and catalogue lots offered for sale.
Notwithstanding this neither the vendor nor ART+OBJECT accepts any liability
for errors of description or faults and imperfections whether described in
writing or verbally. This applies to questions of authenticity and quality of
the item. Buyers are deemed to have inspected the item thoroughly and
proceed on their own judgment. The act of bidding is agreed by the buyer to
be an indication that they are satisfied on all counts regarding condition and
authenticity.
5.
Buyers premium: The purchaser by bidding acknowledges their acceptance
of a buyers premium of 15% + GST on the premium to be added to the hammer
price in the event of a successful sale at auction.
6.
ART+OBJECT is an agent for a vendor: A+O has the right to conduct the sale
of an item on behalf of a vendor. This may include withdrawing an item from sale
for any reason.
7.
Payment: Successful bidders are required to make full payment immediately
post sale – being either the day of the sale or the following day. If for any
reason payment is delayed then a 20% deposit is required immediately and
the balance to 100% required within 3 working days of the sale date. Payment
can be made by Eftpos, bank cheque or cash. Cheques must be cleared before
items are available for collection. Credit cards are not accepted.
8.
Failure to make payment: If a purchaser fails to make payment as outlined
in point 7 above ART+OBJECT may without any advice to the purchaser
exercise its right to: a) rescind or stop the sale, b) re offer the lot for sale to
an underbidder or at auction. ART+OBJECT reserves the right to pursue the
purchaser for any difference in sale proceeds if this course of action is chosen,
c) to pursue legal remedy for breach of contract.
9.
Collection of goods: Purchased items are to be removed from ART+OBJECT
premises immediately after payment or clearance of cheques. Absentee
bidders must make provision for the uplifting of purchased items (see
instructions on the facing page)
10.
Bidders obligations: The act of bidding means all bidders acknowledge that
they are personally responsible for payment if they are the successful bidder.
This includes all registered absentee or telephone bidders. Bidders acting as
an agent for a third party must obtain written authority from ART+OBJECT
and provide written instructions from any represented party and their express
commitment to pay all funds relating to a successful bid by their nominated
agent.
11.
Bids under reserve & highest subject bids: When the highest bid is below
the vendor’s reserve this work may be announced by the auctioneer as
sold ‘subject to vendor’s authority’ or some similar phrase. The effect of this
announcement is to signify that the highest bidder will be the purchaser at the
bid price if the vendor accepts this price. If this highest bid is accepted then the
purchaser has entered a contract to purchase the item at the bid price plus any
relevant buyers premium.
Important advice for buyers
The following information does not form part of the conditions of sale, however
buyers, particularly first time bidders are recommended to read these notes.
A.
Bidding at auction: Please ensure your instructions to the auctioneer are
clear and easily understood. It is well to understand that during a busy sale
with multiple bidders the auctioneer may not be able to see all bids at all times.
It is recommended that you raise your bidding number clearly and without
hesitation. If your bid is made in error or you have misunderstood the bidding
level please advise the auctioneer immediately of your error – prior to the
hammer falling. Please note that if you have made a bid and the hammer has
fallen and you are the highest bidder you have entered a binding contract to
purchase an item at the bid price. New bidders in particular are advised to
make themselves known to the sale auctioneer who will assist you with any
questions about the conduct of the auction.
B.
Absentee bidding: ART+OBJECT welcomes absentee bids once the necessary
authority has been completed and lodged with ART+OBJECT. A+O will do all it
can to ensure bids are lodged on your behalf but accepts no liability for failure
to carry out these bids. See the Absentee bidding form in this catalogue for
information on lodging absentee bids. These are accepted up to 2 hours prior
to the published auction commencement.
C.
Telephone bids: The same conditions apply to telephone bids. It is highly
preferable to bid over a landline as the vagaries of cellphone connections may
result in disappointment. You will be telephoned prior to your indicated lot
arising in the catalogue order. If the phone is engaged or connection impossible
the sale will proceed without your bidding. At times during an auction the
bidding can be frenetic so you need to be sure you give clear instructions to
the person executing your bids. The auctioneer will endeavour to cater to the
requirements of phone bidders but cannot wait for a phone bid so your prompt
participation is requested.
D.
New Zealand dollars: All estimates in this catalogue are in New Zealand
dollars. The amount to be paid by successful bidders on the payment date is
the New Zealand dollar amount stated on the purchaser invoice. Exchange rate
variations are at the risk of the purchaser.
