Background to the Terms used in these Conditions The conditions that are listed below are terms that are used regularly and may need explanation. They are as follows: "the Buyer" means the person with the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer "the lot" means any item depicted within the sale for auction and in particular the item or items described against any lot number in the catalogue. "the Hammer price" means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a lot "the Buyers Premium" means the charge payable by the Buyer to the auction house as a percentage of the hammer price. "the reserve" means the amount below which mossgreen agrees 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. accordingly no lot shall be capable of being a forgery by reason of any damage or restoration work of any kind (including re-painting). The insured value means the amount that mossgreen in its absolute discretion from time to time shall consider the value for which a lot should be covered for insurance (whether or not insurance is arranged by mossgreen.) 2.
