The conditions set out below are the terms on which we contract, as auctioneers,
with sellers and, as agent acting on behalf of sellers, with buyers. Buyers and
sellers should read the conditions carefully. Buyers’ attention is drawn in particular
to clause 16 which limits our liability. For ease of reference, the conditions are
divided into sections: Section A gives a background to some of the terms that are
used in the Conditions generally; Section B is of particular relevance to sellers;
Section C to buyers; and Section D to both sellers and buyers.
A. Background to Terms used in
these Conditions
1. In the conditions set out below, some terms are used regularly that need
explanation.
They are as follows:
• “the Buyer” means the person with the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer;
• “the Lot” means any item deposited with us for sale at auction and, in particular,
the item or items described against any lot number in any catalogue;
• “the Hammer Price” means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the
auctioneer in relation to a Lot;
• “the Buyer’s premium” means the charge payable by the Buyer as a percentage
of the Hammer Price, at the rates set out in clause 15(a) in Section C;
• “the Reserve” means the amount below which we agree with the Seller that the
Lot cannot be sold;
• “Forgery” means a Lot constituting an imitation originally conceived and
executed as a whole with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship,
origin, age, period, culture or source where the correct description as to such
matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue and which at the
date of the auction had a value materially less than it would have had if it had
been in accordance with the description in the catalogue. Accordingly, no Lot
shall be capable of being a Forgery by reason of any damage and/or restoration
work of any kind.
• “The Insured Value” means the amount that Brompton’s Auctioneers Limited in
its absolute discretion from time to time shall consider to be the value for which
a Lot should be covered by insurance (whether or not insurance is arranged by
us).
B. The Seller
References required for clients not yet known to Brompton’s
2. Brompton’s Auctioneers Limited’s Role as Agent.
Our sales at public auction are undertaken as agent, on behalf of the Seller. The
contract for the sale of the Lot will be between the Seller and the Buyer.
Bank Name
3. Commission
We shall charge the Seller commission at a rate agreed between the Seller and
Brompton’s Auctioneers Limited. VAT at the appropriate rate will be charged on
the commission. We shall also collect from the Buyer a premium in addition to the
Hammer Price, VAT at the appropriate rate is also charged on this premium.

4. Expenses
Brompton’s will charge the Seller for all its out of pocket expenditure over and
above its agreed fee, in particular:
a)all costs of Packing and shipping the Lot to us for sale;
b)all applicable transit insurance costs;
c)all costs relating to packing and shipping the lot if it is returned to the Seller;
d)all applicable customs duties;
e)all restoration of the Lot agreed in advance with the Seller
f ) all examination costs incurred by external experts we believe appropriate, if
72
agreed in advance with the Seller
g)photography charges of £35 per lot advertised online, and where previously
agreed charges for the catalogue photography.
h)all Storage costs of the lot after the sale;
i) all applicable VAT.
Brompton’s will on request provide advance estimates of such expenditure and
the Seller is directed to www.bromptons.co where applicable rates for the more
routine of these expenses are posted from time to time. The Seller is aware that
Brompton’s will not have control of the level of such third party charging and the
Seller is advised, if concerned, to make his/its own direct advance enquiries of, for
example relevant insurance, customs and vat authorities.
5a. Where the Lot is included under Brompton’s Auctioneers Limited’s Policy
a)Unless we agree otherwise, the Lot will be automatically included as consigned
or entrusted goods under Brompton’s Auctioneers Limited’s Fine Art Policy for
the amount that we from time to time consider to be its appropriate value. This
Value is not an undertaking by us that the Lot will be sold for this amount.
b)We shall charge the Seller a fee for the inclusion of the Lot under our policy at
the rate of 1.5% of the Hammer Price. If we arrange transport, we may charge
the Seller an additional fee based on the value of the Lot and the particular
circumstances of the requirements for the transport to maintain the benefit of
the inclusion of the Lot under Brompton’s Auctioneers Limited’s policy during
such transport. Although we shall suggest carriers if specifically requested, we
cannot accept any liability in this respect.
c)The Lot will retain the benefit of inclusion under Brompton’s Auctioneers
Limited’s policy until the expiry of seven days after the sale. If the Lot has not
been sold, it will be at the Seller’s risk after that time.
d)We are unable to accept responsibility for damage caused by woodworm,
changes in atmospheric conditions or acts of terrorism.
5b. Owner’s Insurance
If the Seller specifically instructs us not to insure the Lot, it will remain at the
Seller’s risk at all times until the Buyer has made payment in full. The Seller will
indemnify us and our employees and agents, and the Buyer (where applicable)
against any claim made against us or them in respect of the Lot, however that
claim may arise. The Seller will also reimburse us and them on demand for any
expenses we or they may incur as a result of such a claim, even if we or they are
found to have been negligent and even where such reimbursement is required of
a payment made without any legal liability being proved. The Seller must notify
the Seller’s insurers of the terms of this clause.
6. The Seller’s Undertakings regarding the Lot
This clause sets out the basis on which we shall handle the Lot and which will
govern the Seller’s relationship with the Buyer. If that basis proves incorrect in any
way, either we or the Buyer may take legal action against the Seller.
We shall handle the Lot, and the Buyer will purchase, on the basis of the Seller’s
undertakings that:
a)the Seller is the sole owner of the Lot with an unrestricted right to transfer
title to the Buyer free from all third party rights or claims (including copyright
claims);
b)the Seller has complied with all requirements, legal or otherwise relating to any
export or import of the Lot and has notified us in writing of any failure
c)by third parties to comply with such requirements in the past; and
d)the Seller has notified us in writing of any material alterations to the Lot of
which the Seller is aware and of any concerns expressed by third parties in
relation to the ownership, condition or attribution of the Lot. If any of (a), (b)
and (c) above is incorrect, the Seller will indemnify us and/or the Buyer in full
on demand against all claims, costs or expenses incurred by us or the Buyer as a
result, whether arising in relation to the Lot or the proceeds of sale.
7. Sale Arrangements
73
28th October 2013
a)We shall have complete discretion as to the way the Lot is described and
illustrated in the catalogue or any condition report; the place and manner of
sale; the decision as to which persons should be admitted to the auction, and
as to which bids should be accepted; whether expert advice should be sought,
and the combination or division of goods for sale.
b)Any estimate given, orally or in writing, is a matter of opinion only and is not an
assurance in relation to the price the Lot will eventually fetch.
c)The Seller may not withdraw the Lot from sale without our consent. However,
we reserve the right to withdraw the Lot from sale at any time if (i) we have
any doubt as to its attribution or authenticity or as to the accuracy of the
statements made in clause 6 (a), (b) or (c) above or (ii) there is any breach of
these Conditions of Business or (iii) we believe it would be improper to include
the Lot in the sale.
d)If either we or the Seller withdraw the Lot, we shall charge the Seller a fee equal
to 20% of the Reserve or, if no Reserve has been agreed at that time, 20% of
the Insured Value, together with any applicable VAT and insurance and other
expenses.
8. Conduct of Sale
a)The Lot will be sold subject to the Reserve, which cannot be above the low
estimate printed in the catalogue unless the Reserve is agreed to in a currency
other than pounds sterling and the exchange rates fluctuate between
the time the Reserve is agreed and the day of the sale. In this case, unless
we agree otherwise, the Reserve shall be an amount equal to the pound
sterling equivalent based on the closing exchange rate on the business day
immediately preceding the sale. We shall in no circumstances be liable if bids
are not received at the level of the Reserve. We shall however be entitled to sell
the Lot below the Reserve. If we do so, we shall be obliged to account to the
Seller as if the Hammer Price was equal to the Reserve.
b)The Seller may not bid for the Lot nor employ any person to do so on the
Seller’s behalf, although we shall have the right to bid on the Seller’s behalf up
to the amount of the Reserve.
9. After the Sale
a)Accounting
After the sale, we shall require payment in full from the Buyer, including
payment of the Buyer’s premium within seven days. Provided this has occurred,
we shall remit to the Seller an amount equal to the Hammer Price less all
charges due from the Seller, 35 days after the date of the sale, unless we have
received notice that the Lot is a Forgery (as defined in Section A of these
Conditions of Business). In the event of late payment by the Buyer we shall
make such remittance to the Seller within seven days of that payment by the
Buyer. If for any reason we make payment to the Seller of the amount due
before payment by the Buyer, we shall acquire complete ownership of and title
in the Lot, save only that in the event that we are obliged to accept the Lot back
from the Buyer on the basis that it is a Forgery, the Seller will refund to us the
proceeds of sale paid to the Seller.
Payment will be made in sterling unless the Seller instructs otherwise in
writing. If the Seller requires payment other than in sterling, we shall charge
the Seller for any currency costs incurred. Sale proceeds will be calculated at
the rate of exchange quoted to us by Coutts & Co. prevailing on the day of the
pay-out 35 days after the date of the auction. Our certificate as to such rate will
be conclusive.
b)Non-Payment by the Buyer
If the Buyer fails to pay the full amount due within 35 days after the date of sale,
we shall be entitled to agree special terms on the Seller’s behalf for payment,
storage and insurance, and to take any steps we consider necessary to collect
the amount due from the Buyer. However, we shall not be obliged either to
remit the price due to the Seller ourselves, nor to take any legal proceedings
on the Seller’s behalf. We shall discuss with the Seller the appropriate course of
action to be taken to recover the purchase price from the Buyer.
c)Forgeries
74
If within three months of the date of the auction the Buyer satisfies us that the
Lot is a Forgery (as defined in Clause 1 of these Conditions of Business), then
(i) if the Buyer at that time has not yet paid the full amount due, we shall have
the right to cancel the sale and/or (ii) if we have at that time paid the Seller the
whole or part of the full amount due to the Seller, then the Seller must refund
to us, on demand, the total amount paid. In the latter case we shall exercise a
lien over any property of the Seller under our control as security for the amount
due
d)Unsold Lot
If any Lot is unsold, or is not included in a sale, or is withdrawn from sale for
any reason, it must be collected from us within 35 days after we send the Seller
a notice requiring the Seller to collect it. If any such Lot remains uncollected
for a period exceeding 35 days, a storage charge of £1 per item per day will
apply and an additional charge will be made for insurance. The Seller will not
be entitled to collect the Lot until all outstanding charges are met. If any such
Lot is not collected within 90 days after the date of the sale or the date of the
notice referred to above (whichever occurs first), it may be disposed of by us
as we see fit, which may involve its removal to a third party warehouse at the
Seller’s expense and its sale by public auction on such terms as we consider
appropriate, including those relating to estimates and reserves. We shall then
account to the Seller for the proceeds of sale, having deducted all amounts
due. If any Lot is bought in or otherwise unsold by auction, we are authorised
as the exclusive agent for the Seller for a period of two months following the
auction to sell such Lot privately for a price that will result in a payment to the
Seller of not less than the net amount – i.e. after deduction of all charges due
from the Seller – to which the Seller would have been entitled had the Lot been
sold at a price equal to the Reserve, or for such lesser amount as we and the
Seller shall agree. In such event the Seller’s obligations to us with respect to
such a Lot are the same as if it had been sold at auction.
10. Photographs and Illustrations
We shall have the right (on a non-exclusive basis) to photograph, video or
otherwise produce an image of the Lot. All rights in such an image will belong to
us, and we shall have the right to use it in whatever way we see fit.
11. Other Matters
VAT The Seller will give all relevant information about his VAT status and that of
the Lot to ensure that the correct information is printed in the catalogues. Once
printed, the information cannot be changed. If we incur any unforeseen cost or
expense as a result of the information being incorrect, the Seller will reimburse to
us on demand the full amount incurred.
C. Buyers
12. Brompton’s Auctioneers Limited as agent
As auctioneers, we act as agent for the Seller. Unless otherwise agreed sales of
goods at our auctions result in contracts made between the Seller, through our
agency, with the Buyer.
13. Before the Sale
a)Examination of goods
Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in
which they are interested, before the auction takes place. Condition reports are
usually available on request. We provide no guarantee to the Buyer other than
in relation to Forgeries, as explained in clause 1 of these Conditions of Business.
b)Catalogue descriptions
Statements by us in the catalogue or condition report, or made orally or in
writing elsewhere, regarding the authorship, origin, date, age, size, medium,
attribution, genuineness, provenance, condition or estimated selling price
of any Lot are merely statements of opinion, and are not to be relied on as
statements of definitive fact. Catalogue illustrations are for guidance only, and
should not be relied on either to determine the tone or colour of any item or to
reveal imperfections. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a
statement that this price is either the price at which the Lot will sell or its value
for any other purpose. Many items are of an age or nature which precludes their
being in perfect condition and some descriptions in the catalogue or given
by way of condition report make reference to damage and/or restoration. We
provide this information for guidance only and the absence of such a reference
does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration nor does a
reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others.
c)Buyers Responsibility
Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of
the goods and the matters referred to in the catalogue description.
d)Importation into a buyer’s destination country
The purchaser’s inability to import any item into his destination country as
a result of Government economic sanctions or other restrictions shall not
justify cancellation or rescission of the sale or any delay in payment. Please
satisfy yourself before bidding as to whether a lot is subject to such import
restrictions, or any other restrictions on importation or exportation
14. At the Sale
a)Refusal of admission
Our sales take place on our own premises or premises over which we have
control for the sale, and we have the right, exercisable at our complete
discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or attendance at an auction.
b)Registration before bidding
Every prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and
provide identification before making a bid at auction. Prospective buyers
should be aware that we usually require buyers to undergo a credit check.
c)Bidding as Principal
When making a bid, prospective buyers will be accepting personal liability,
unless it has been agreed in writing, at the time of registration, that a bidder is
acting as agent on behalf of a third party acceptable to us.
d)Absentee Bids
If a prospective buyer gives us instructions to bid on his behalf, by using
the form provided, we shall use reasonable efforts to do so, provided these
instructions are received not later than 24 hours before the sale. If we receive
absentee bids on a particular Lot for identical amounts, and at auction these
bids are the highest bids for the Lot, it will be sold to the person whose bid was
received first. Absentee bids are undertaken subject to other commitments
at the time of the sale, and the conduct of the sale may be such that we
are unable to bid as requested. Since this is undertaken as a free service to
prospective buyers on the terms stated, we cannot accept liability for failure
to make a absentee bid. Prospective buyers should therefore always attend
personally if they wish to be certain of bidding.
e)Telephone Bids
If prospective buyers make arrangements with us not less than 24 hours before
the sale, we shall use reasonable efforts to contact the bidders to enable them
to participate in bidding by telephone, but in no circumstances will we be liable
to either the Seller or any prospective buyer as a result of failure to do so.
f ) Currency Converter
At some auctions, a currency converter will be operated, based on the rates of
exchange quoted to us by Coutts & Co. at opening on the date of the auction.
Bidding will however take place in sterling. The currency converter is not always
reliable, and errors may occur beyond our control either in the accuracy of the
Lot number displayed on the converter, or the foreign currency equivalent of
sterling bids. We shall not be liable to the Buyer for any loss suffered as a result
of the Buyer following the currency converter rather than the sterling bidding.
g)Video images
At some auctions there will be a video screen. Mistakes may occur in
its operation, and we cannot be liable to the Buyer regarding either the
correspondence of the image to the Lot being sold or the quality of the image
as a reproduction of the original.
h)The auctioneer’s discretion
The auctioneer has the right at his absolute discretion to refuse any bid to
advance the bidding in such manner as he may decide to withdraw or divide
any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots and, in the case of error or dispute, to
put an item up for bidding again.
i) Successful bid
Subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the striking of his hammer marks the
acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between
the Seller and the Buyer.
j) Online Bidding
Brompton’s Auctioneers offer an online bidding service via www.invaluable.
com/bromptons for bidders who cannot attend the sale. In completing the
online bidder registration and providing your credit card details and unless
alternative arrangements are agreed with Brompton’s Auctioneers you:
i. authorise Brompton’s Auctioneers, if they so wish, to charge the credit
card given in part or full payment, including all fees, for items successfully
purchased in the auction via www.invaluable.com, and
ii. confirm that you are authorised to provide these credit card details to
Brompton’s Auctioneers through www.invaluable.com . Please note that any
lots purchased via Artfact / Invaluable live auction service will be subject
to an additional 3% commission charge + VAT at the rate imposed on the
hammer price.
15. After the Sale
a)Buyer’s Premium
In addition to the Hammer Price, the Buyer must pay us the Buyer’s premium at
a rate of 20% of the Hammer Price.
b)Value Added Tax
Value Added Tax is always payable on the premium. It may also be payable on
the Hammer Price, if the Lot has been marked with a sign to that effect in the
catalogue. It may be refunded on proof of export from the European Union.
c)Payment
The Buyer must provide us with his or her name and permanent address and,
if so requested, details of the bank from which payment will be made and then
pay the full amount due (comprising the Hammer Price, the Buyer’s premium
and any applicable value added tax) within seven days after the date of the
sale. This applies even if the Buyer wishes to export the lot and an export
licence is (or may be) required. The Buyer will not acquire title to the Lot until all
amounts due to us have been paid to us, even in circumstances where we have
released the Lot to the Buyer. Payment may be made in the following ways: by
credit or debit card (Visa, Mastercard, or Amex are accepted); wire transfer in
GBP, EUR, or USD; or by GBP in cash up to £5,000. Payments exceeding £5,000
can normally only be made by the card holder in person whilst on our premises.
Full and exact payment to be made in British pounds. Brompton’s are not
responsible for buyers individual bank charges, and reserve the right to collect
any outstanding funds.
d)Collection of Purchases
Unless we specifically agree to the contrary, we shall retain items sold until
all amounts due to us, or to any other associated company of Brompton’s
Auctioneers Limited, have been paid in full. Items retained will be covered by
our insurance from the date of sale for a period of seven days or, if by then the
goods have been collected, to the time of collection. After seven days or from
the time of collection, whichever is the earlier, the Lot will be entirely at the
Buyer’s risk.
e)Notification
Invoices are sent out by email after the sale day, but we do not accept
responsibility for notifying you of your bid. Bidders are requested to contact us
as soon as possible after the sale to obtain details of the outcome of their bids
to avoid incurring charges for late payment. Successful bidders will pay the
price of the final bid plus premium plus any applicable VAT.
f ) Handling Purchases
We shall use all reasonable efforts to take care when handling a purchased Lot
but remind the Buyer that after seven days from the sale date or from the time
of collection the Lot is entirely at the Buyer’s risk.

28th October 2013
g)Recommended packers and shippers
Brompton’s does not provide a shipping or packing service. We recommend
that you contact a professional shipping company who will advise on
collection and delivery and provide a quotation. If you require a quotation
after the auction then you will need to provide the shipping company with the
information from your Brompton’s invoice. All shipments should be unpacked
and checked on delivery and any discrepancies notified immediately to the
shipper in question.
h)Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchases
If the Buyer fails to make payment within seven days, we shall be entitled to
exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies:
• to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 4% above Coutts & Co. base rate per
month on the full amount due to the extent it remains unpaid for more than
seven days after the date of the auction;
• to set off against any amounts which we or any other associated company of
Brompton’s Auctioneers Limited may owe the Buyer in any other transaction the
outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the Buyer;
• to exercise a lien on any of the Buyer’s property which may be in our possession
for any purpose and, following 14 days’ notice to the Buyer of the amount
outstanding and remaining unpaid, arrange the sale of such property and apply
the proceeds in discharge of the amount outstanding to us;
• where several amounts are owed by the Buyer to us or any other associated
company of Brompton’s Auctioneers Limited in respect of different transactions,
to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any
particular transaction, whether or not the Buyer so directs;
• to reject at any future auction any bids made by the Buyer or on his behalf or
obtain a deposit from the Buyer before accepting any bids. If the Buyer fails to
make payment within thirty-five days, we shall in addition be entitled:
• to issue proceedings on behalf of the Seller against the Buyer to recover the full
amount due, together with the costs of such proceedings on a full indemnity
basis and with interest, charged at 4% per annum above Coutts & Co. Base Rate;
• to cancel the sale of the Lot or any other item sold to the Buyer at the same or
any other auction;
• to arrange a resale of the Lot, publicly or privately, and, if this results in a lower
price being obtained, claim the balance from the Buyer together with any costs
incurred in connection with the Buyer’s failure to make payment.
i) Failure to collect
Where purchases are not collected within seven days after the sale, whether or
not payment has been made, we shall arrange storage at the Buyer’s expense,
and only release the items purchased after payment has been made in full
of storage, removal, insurance and any other costs incurred, together with
payment of all other amounts due to us.
j) Export Licence
Unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, the fact that the Buyer wishes to
apply for an export licence does not affect his obligation to make payment
within seven days nor our right to charge interest on late payment. If the Buyer
requests us to apply for an export licence on his behalf, we shall be entitled to
recover from him our disbursements and out of pocket expenses in relation
to such application, together with any relevant VAT. We will not be obliged to
refund any interest or other expenses incurred by the Buyer where payment is
made by the Buyer despite the fact that an export licence is required. It is the
buyer’s responsibility to obtain any export or import licences and/or certificates
as well as any other required documentation.
16. Extent of Our Liability
We have an obligation to refund the Buyer in the circumstances set out in clause
17. However, neither the Seller nor we, nor any of our employees or agents, are
responsible for the correctness of any statement as to the authorship, origin, date,
age, attribution, genuineness or provenance of any Lot nor for any other errors of
description or for any faults or defects in any Lot. Neither the Seller, ourselves, our
employees or agents, give any guarantee in respect of any Lot. Any warranty of
any kind whatsoever is excluded by this clause.
17. Refund in the case of Forgery
A sale will be cancelled, and the amount paid refunded to the Buyer if a Lot (other
than a miscellaneous item not described in the catalogue) sold by us proves to
have been a Forgery. We shall not however be obliged to refund any amounts if
either
a)the catalogue description or saleroom notice at the auction date corresponded
to the generally accepted opinion of scholars or experts at that time, or fairly
indicated that there was a conflict of opinions, or
b)it can be demonstrated that the Lot is a Forgery only by means of either a
scientific process not generally accepted for use until after publication of the
catalogue or a process which at the date of the auction was unreasonably
expensive or impracticable or likely to have caused damage to the Lot.
Furthermore, the Buyer should note that this refund can be obtained only if the
following conditions are met:
i. the Buyer must notify us in writing, within three months of the auction date,
that in his view the Lot concerned is a forgery;
ii. the Buyer must then return the item to us within fourteen days, in the same
condition as at the auction date; and
iii.as soon as possible following return of the Lot, the Buyer must produce
evidence satisfactory to us that the Lot is a Forgery and that he is able to
transfer good title to us, free from any third party claims. In no circumstances
shall we be required to pay the Buyer any more than the amount paid by
him for the Lot concerned and the Buyer shall have no claim for interest. The
benefit of this guarantee is not capable of being transferred, and is solely for
the benefit of the person to whom the original invoice was made out by us
in respect of the Lot when sold and who, since the sale, has remained the
owner of the Lot without disposing of any interest in it to any third party. We
shall be entitled to rely on any scientific or other process to establish that the
Lot is not a Forgery, whether or not such process was used or in use at the
date of the auction.
D. Conditions Applicable to both Buyers
and Sellers
18. Copyright
The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material relating to a Lot is
and shall remain at all times our property and shall not be used by the Buyer nor

authorised by the copyright owner and indemnifies the Company against claims
and costs arising from wrongful use.
19. Notices

will be taken to have been received by the addressee on the second working
day after posting or, if the addressee is overseas, on the fifth working day after
posting.
20. Severability
If any part of these Conditions of Business is found by any court to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, that part may be discounted and the rest of the
conditions shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
21. Law and Jurisdiction
These Conditions of Business are subject to English law, which shall apply to their
construction as well as to their effect. For our benefit, the Seller and the Buyer
submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
