CONDITIONS OF SALE

 

  1.The highest accepted bidder for each lot shall be, subject to the Vendor’s reserve

  (if any), the purchaser thereof. If any dispute shall arise as to any bidding

  the lot in dispute shall be immediately put up for sale again at the last undisputed

  bidding, or the dispute may be determined by the Auctioneers. The Auctioneers

  reserve the right of bidding for, withdrawing from, consolidating or dividing

  any lots, or varying the order of the sale.

 

  2. No person shall advance less at a bid than a sum to be named from time to

  time by the Auctioneers and no bid shall be retracted. The Auctioneers may,

  without giving any reason therefore, refuse to accept the bidding of any person

  or persons.

 

  3. The purchaser of each lot shall give his name and address and shall (if required)

  pay the Auctioneers 25 per cent of the purchase money as earnest and in part

  payment. If any purchaser fails to comply with any of these conditions the lot

  or lots in question may, if the Auctioneers think fit, be put up again and resold.

  If upon resale a lower price is obtained for any lots than were obtained from

  the first sale the difference in price shall be a debt due from the defaulter

  at the first sale.

 

  4. Every care is taken to ensure accuracy concerning authorship, origin, age,

  condition, etc., but all such statements represent opinion and are not to be

  taken as statements or representations of fact. The Auctioneers reserve the

  right in forming their opinion to consult and rely upon any expert or authority

  reasonably considered by them to be reliable.

 

  5. Although every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, as stated in para

  4 above, no warranty is given with any lots and the Auctioneers are not responsible

  for the correct description, genuineness or sufficiency of, or any fault or

  defect in any lot. Any purchaser (home or overseas) who is represented by an

  Agent in the room and who feels dissatisfied with purchase(s) shall claim against

  his agent and shall have no claim whatsoever upon the Auctioneers. No sale shall

  be invalidated by reason of any defect or faults in any of the lots by reason

  of the lots being incorrectly described in the catalogue, and no compensation

  shall be paid in respect of any faults or errors of description.

 

  6. Notwithstanding the preceding condition, if within seven days of the receipt

  of any lot the buyer gives notice in writing to the Auctioneer that the lot

  sold is a forgery and he returns the lot (within 48 hours, overseas 7 days)

  in the same condition as it was at the time of the sale to the premises of the

  Auctioneer and there shows that considered in the light of the terms of the

  catalogue the lot sold is a forgery, the Auctioneers are authorised to, and

  will rescind the sale and approach the vendor (if already paid) for the return

  of the proceeds paid to him.

 

  7. Each lot shall be at the Purchaser's risk from the fall of the hammer, and

  except in the case of postal bidders shall be cleared away by the purchaser

  at his or her own expense, within one day of the conclusion of the sale. Each

  lot must be paid in full before delivery and in the event of any person purchasing

  more than one lot the whole must be paid for in full before delivery of any

  part thereof. No lot shall be removed without a delivery order signed by the

  Auctioneers or their Clerk. On no account will the assignment or transfer of

  any lot by the purchaser there be allowed.

 

  8. Purchasers shall be answerable for any damage or loss occasioned by the removal

  of their respective lots either to the lots or the premises, the amounts of

  such damage to be assessed by the Auctioneers. After the conclusion of the sale

  the Auctioneers will not hold themselves responsible if the lots be lost, stolen,

  damaged or destroyed, but they will be left at the sole risk of the purchasers.

  No lot on any account may be removed during the time of the sale.

 

  9. No cheque will be accepted from any person unknown to the Auctioneers without

  a bankers guarantee.

 

  10. Upon failure of any purchaser to comply with any of the above conditions

  any money deposited by him or her in part payments shall be forfeited to the

  owner of the lot, he paying thereout all just expenses. Any lot not paid for

  within two months of the purchase date shall be resold by public auction or

  private contract and the deficiency (if any) arising from such a resale together

  with all expenses attending the same shall be made good by the defaulter at

  this sale who shall have no claim to any surplus which may arise on a resale.

 

 

  11. The Auctioneers' description of conditions of antique and modern firearms

  is for guidance as collectors' pieces only and does not refer to their suitability

  for use. The Auctioneers can accept no responsibility if these weapons are fired.

 

 

  12. The above applies to all postal bidders, and where an agent purchases on

  behalf of an undisclosed client such an agent shall be personally liable for

  payment of the purchase price to the Auctioneers and for safe delivery of the

  lot to the said client.

 

  13. Vendors who send for sale by auction any goods that are an asset of their

  business must inform the auctioneers if they are registered for VAT purposes

  and, if so, the registration number must be given.

 

  14. Bids are accepted on the understanding that a 24% buying premium will be added to the purchase price and the Auctioneers are NOT responsible for any bids submitted which inadvertently include this 24% buying premium.  The buying premium is subject to VAT at the current added to the "knock-down" price in addition, any lots purchased through ATG Media services (the-saleroom.com) will be liable to an additional 3% charge on top of the hammer price.

 

 

  15. Wallis & Wallis reserve the right, if necessary, to delay payment to Vendors,

  pending receipt of moneys to complete overseas and home transactions.

  THIRD REICH GERMAN ITEMS. Owing to the large number of Third Reich uniforms and accoutrements

  being used for films, television and plays, it becomes increasingly difficult

  to ascertain the authenticity of certain pieces. We catalogue all Third Reich items

  believing them to be genuine unless otherwise stated. The terms 'bronze', 'silver'

  and 'gold' refer to the grades in which medals, badges, etc., were awarded and

  not to their composition. <b>All items sold, whether in the room or by post, are

  considered "As viewed", and not subject to our Conditions of Sale, paragraph

  6.</b>

  firearms in our sale. We will be pleased to lodge for proof suitable weapons

  submitted to us. A small charge is made for this service.

 

  "UNPROVABILITY CERTIFICATES." For certain obsolete firearms for which cartridges

  are no longer available we can obtain from the Proof House, a "Certificate of

  unprovability." These can then be offered as "Collectors items only," but must

  still be sold to buyers possessing a firearms certificate.

 

  EARLY BREECH LOADING WEAPONS, PINFIRE, NEEDLEFIRE AND RIMFIRE. Due to a change

  in policy by the Home Office, Wallis and Wallis can now offer certain types

  of breech-loading antique firearms as collectors pieces without registration

  as Part I firearms. This applies to pinfire and needlefire weapons also rimfire

  with cartridges exceeding .23in. calibre (or its metric equivalent). Such weapons

  taking 9mm ammunition are excluded and continue to be classed as Part I Firearms.

  However, it must be realised that if the above mentioned weapons were required

  for firing purposes, they would need to be registered with the Police as with

  other Part I weapons.

  however, we do accept ammunition for sale over 100 years old. The buyer must

  collect and be in possession of a collector's certificate.
