AUCTIONS

Auctions are validated by the firm of Maître Benoît Weber, bailiff in Liège - Belgium.

Participation in the auction implies unconditional acceptance of the following conditions of sale:

*The highest bidder - last bidder - will be the successful bidder. He will be required to pay the hammer price of the lot, plus 30% VAT on Invaluable's website and 27% VAT on auctions.katheleys.com. Sales are subject to the special margin system, with non-deductible VAT.
*Each bidder is deemed to be acting on his own behalf and in his own name, and is held personally liable for payment of the lots awarded to him in any capacity whatsoever.
As soon as a lot is awarded to a buyer, the risks are transferred to the buyer, who is required to pay the price before collection.
Buyers are required to pay for and take possession of the lots they have been awarded within 3 working days of the auction. The utmost care is taken with auctioned items, but after the auction neither KATHELEY'S nor any of its agents will be liable for loss or damage.

Application for any export license (CITES) is the responsibility of the buyer. An auction cannot be cancelled for this reason or for refusal of an export license.
