Remedies for Non-Payment or failure to collect purchases

If any Lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with our full Terms and Conditions we, as the agent for the seller, shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we have, be entitled to exercise all or any of the below:

a)       To proceed against you for breach of contract and damages;

b)      To recind the sale of that Lot and/or any other Lots sold by us to you;

d)      To remove, store and insure the Lot at your expense and in the case of storage, either at our premises or elsewhere;

Removal
All lots should be paid for and collected by 5pm by the Friday following the sale. Commission bidders are asked to check the success of their bids and arrange payment and collection within this time.

Condition of Lots
We are, primarily, agents for the seller. We are dependent on information provided by the seller and whilst we may inspect lots and act reasonably in taking a general view about them, we are normally unable to carry out a detailed, or any, examination of lots in order to ascertain their condition in the way in which it would be wise for a buyer to do. Intending buyers have ample opportunity for inspection of goods and, therefore, accept responsibility for inspecting and investigating lots in which they may be interested. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained in the Conditions of Sale. Neither the seller nor we, as the auctioneers, accept any responsibility for their condition. In particular, mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be in working order.
