Modern jewellery Part 1

THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF HENRY?s AUKTIONSHAUS AG (HENRY?s) APPLY TO AUCTIONS, THE SALE OF AUCTION GOODS AFTER THE AUCTIONS AND THE SALE OF GOODS 1. The auction or the sale is carried out on behalf or on account of the seller. For this purpose, HENRY's keeps the addresses of the bidders/buyers in a lot number directory. 2. Catalogue Numbers HENRY?s reserves the right to combine or split lots and, if there is good reason to do so, to auction items other than in the published order or to withdraw them. 3. Defects Liability HENRY's accepts no liability for defects in the goods. All warranty claims must be directed exclusively at the seller. The information in the catalogue does not constitute a guarantee pursuant to section 443 German Civil Code (BGB). The items offered for auction are used and may be inspected prior to the auction. Warranties Vehicles The items on offer for auction are used goods and can be inspected before the auction. The motor vehicles are sold as collectors' items and not as a means of transport. Purchasers are hereby specifically advised that spare parts may have been built into the vehicles sold, that a repaint may have been performed and that the vehicles may comprise parts from other vehicles. HENRY?s relies on information provided by the seller and by experts with regard to age, condition and authenticity and conducts no examinations of vehicles of its own. 4. Guarantee HENRY?s gives its own independent guarantee to refund the purchase price if the bidder/buyer can show within 30 days of the auction that the goods are defective or not as described in the catalogue. In cases of doubt, expert reports must be obtained to corroborate these defects. The guarantee does not cover deviations in colour between the original and the catalogue which are attributable to the printing process, minor damage and age-related traces of use and normal wear and tear which do not have a substantial effect on the value. In other respects, HENRY?s or its vicarious agents shall be liable only for intentional and grossly negligent acts and omissions, further for injury of life, body or health which is based on a negligent breach of duty by HENRY?s or its vicarious agents. 5. Commission to Bid Commissions to bid must be made in writing and are irrevocable. A bidder may request to be informed by HENRY?s if his/her commission to bid is below the highest amount bid by other bidders; this shall not invalidate the bid. At auctions, the price is normally increased in increments of 10 per cent to the nearest amount of 100, 1,000 or 10,000. Stated price estimates are not price limits but represent the (range of) expected vending prices. The bottom price is the starting price for the auction. Price limits are agreed upon between HENRY?s and the respective seller and need not be disclosed to the bidders. In case the price limit is not reached, bids may be accepted ?under condition? and require the approval by the seller. HENRY?s may bid on behalf of the seller up to the agreed price limit without disclosure and irrespective of whether or not bids are placed by other bidders. Irrespective of their amount, written bids shall be handled according to the "lowest price" principle i.e. HENRY?s undertakes only to outbid the previous bid by the bidding increment. For lots sold without reserve, HENRY?s starts the bidding with the highest bid, including any bid received in writing prior to the auction. 6. Acceptance of Bid The hammer falls if no higher bid is offered after the highest bid is called out three times. A sale and purchase agreement is formed between the bidder and the seller upon the fall of the auctioneer's hammer. The auctioneer reserves the right to refuse bids received on the day of the auction. The same applies to first-time bidders without credit references. Telephone bidders will be called prior to the required lot being called, provided that a written request to do so has been submitted beforehand. HENRY?s accepts no liability for the successful establishment of the telephone connection. HENRY?s shall bear the cost of the telephone call. The sale may, on behalf of the seller, be made conditional or be refused. In the event of several identical bids being received, the bid received first shall win. If a bid that has been duly received within the specified time limit or a telephone bid has been inadvertently overlooked in error, HENRY?s is entitled to cancel the winning bid and re-auction the item. The same applies to all incidents and complaints directly after the hammer falls or after the auction. In the case of conditional sales, the bidder is bound by his bid for 14 days. 7. Internet-Live-Bidding-System HENRY?s does not guarantee the technical feasibility of internet connections or the on-time transmission of bids during auctions. It is advised to place bids early to ensure that bids can be considered for the auction. 8. Payment and Buyer?s Premium The winning bidder is obliged to pay the bid price in cash plus a 25% buyer's premium in cash immediately. The buyer's premium includes statutory value-added tax. Internet-live-bidding systems: Where specified, the bid award by other bidding platforms is subject to an additional sales commission. For items which are marked with an asterisk in addition to the bid price we charge additional 19% import value added tax advanced by us. The value added tax included in the buyer?s premium and the advanced import value added tax will be refunded if within one month a customs export certificate has been supplied or the auctioneer is responsible for the export. Invoices to absentee bidders are payable no later than ten days after the invoice date. Payments shall be accepted only once the funds have cleared. Later payment or payment in a form other than cash is acceptable only with the agreement of the auctioneer. All costs including taxes and expenses of non-cash payments shall be borne by the buyer. 9. ?Buy It Now?-Items Items in the "Buy it now" catalogue are items available for open sale and are sold at fixed prices. Sales are made on behalf and for the account of the seller. The contract is formed directly between the seller and the buyer. All items are subject to change without notice. 10. Cancellation policy (subject to Section 11) Right of cancellation: You may cancel the contract concluded within 14 days without giving any reason.

For this return we will use the same means of payment which you have used for your payment unless it is agreed upon otherwise; in no event will you be charged for the return. We are entitled to retain the payment as long as we have not received the goods or you have provided evidence that the goods are sent back, depending on whichever is the earlier.

In order to observe the period of 14 days it is sufficient to send off the goods before the period has lapsed. You have to bear the direct return costs of the goods.

Furthermore, HENRY?s reserves the right to subject the buyer?s claim for the remaining proceeds to the reimbursement of the deposit costs. 14. Default of Payment If the buyer has not paid the purchase price in full within ten days after the auction/purchase date; he/she shall be in default without further notification or warning. During default, the buyer must pay the statutory interest. No further payment demand will be given. If the funds are not credited to our account by the specified date, we reserve all rights both in the name of the seller and on our own behalf. We expressly reserve the right to claim the invoice sum plus additional costs on behalf of the seller, and/or compensatory damages pursuant to the agreed auction and supply conditions (buyer's premium, discount, penalty interest and other loss arising from the delay) on our own behalf, or to re-auction the goods at one of the next auctions, whereby the buyer shall not be entitled to the difference if a higher price is achieved, and shall be liable to make good any shortfall. 15.
