7.                   Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchases

In the event that a buyer fails to pay for or collect a Lot, Rowley’s may at its absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies:

                        A.       Issue proceedings against a Buyer for breach of contract together with cost of any proceedings on a full indemnity basis.

                        B.       To rescind the sale of that or any other Lots sold to the Buyer at the same or any other auction.

                        C.       To re-sell the Lot or cause it to be resold by public sale or private treaty.  Any deficiency in the purchase price resulting from any such re-sale, together with any costs incurred in connection with the Lot, shall be paid to Rowley’s by the original Buyer and any surplus after deduction of costs and charges shall be due to the original Buyer.

                        D.      To charge interest on any outstanding monies at the rate of 1.5% per month or part thereof to the extent they remain unpaid for more than 48 hours from the date of the sale.

 

 

8.                   Condition of Lots

A.       All catalogue descriptions, verbal descriptions and advertisements for sales    concerning attribution, genuineness, authorship, origin, period, date, age, provenance, quality, condition or estimated selling price are statements of opinion only and are not to be taken as statements or representations of fact not the basis for any warranty or guarantee.  Many Lots will be of an age that precludes them being in perfect condition and purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the condition of any Lot by examining that Lot before the auction.

 

B.       Refund Policy.  In certain circumstances, where lots have been mis-described, lots may be returned, within a four week period from the date of the auction, and a refund of the hammer price, buyer’s premium and associated VAT made.

 

                        C.       All conditions, warranties, terms, undertakings and obligations implied by statute, common law, custom, trade usage or otherwise (including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any express or implied condition, warranty or undertaking as to correspondence of the goods with any contract description given, merchantable quality or fitness for any particular purpose) are hereby wholly excluded.  If the Buyer deals as a consumer as defined by Section 12 of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contract Regulations 1994 the above provision shall not apply insofar as they purport to affect the Buyer’s statutory rights under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 as amended.

 

                        D.      Jewellery: Historically many gem stones have been subject to a variety of treatments to enhance their appearance.  Treatments such as heat treatment, treatment with oils or resin, staining, irradiation or coating may have been used on most gem stones.  Some treatments may be permanent whilst others may need special care or re-treatment over the years to retain their appearance.  Prospective buyers should be aware that Rowley’s pre-sale estimates assume that gem stones may have been subjected to such treatments.

 

                        E.       Clocks & Watches: As is to be expected with clocks and watches, particularly those of some age, it is likely that they will have been repaired and parts may have been replaced.  As stated above, all lots including those comprising clocks and watches are sold on an “as is” basis, subject to all faults, imperfections and errors of description.  This means that no guarantee is given that any clock or watch works reliably, if at all.

 

  1. Whilst Rowley’s will make every reasonable effort to avoid damaging items whilst stored on our premises after an auction Rowley’s accepts no responsibility for any accidental breakage, loss or damage or for the deterioration in condition of items which are already in poor condition.  Futhermore Rowley’s accepts no responsibility for damage caused, due to their fragile nature, of picture and mirror frames made of wood, plaster or gesso.

 

9.                   Commission Bids

All intending Buyers are advised to attend the auction.  Where circumstances do not permit this, Rowley’s will, if instructed in writing not less that 48 hours in advance of the auction, execute bids on behalf of intending buyers but Rowley’s it’s employees or agents, will not be liable to the Buyer or the Seller for any neglect or default in so doing or for failure to do so.  Any instructions so given shall be deemed to be irrevocable unless agreed otherwise by Rowley’s at any time prior to the auction.

 

Commission bids will be dealt with in strict order of receipt.  Therefore when two or more bids of the same amount for the same Lot are received, the first commission received shall be the Buyer if the bid is successful.

 

Rowleys offer online bidding services via the-saleroom.com and invaluable.com for bidders who cannot attend the sale but Rowley’s, its employees and agents, will not be liable to the Buyer or the Seller for any neglect or default by either the-saleroom.com or invaluable.com.

 

10.                Electrical and mechanical goods

A seller who consigns electrical and mechanical goods to Rowley’s warrants and undertakes to Rowley’s and to the Buyer that at the date on which the goods are consigned to Rowley’s they are safe if used for the purpose for which they were designed and free from any defect not obvious on external inspection which could be dangerous to human life or health and will indemnify Rowley’s , it’s employees and agents, against any loss or damage suffered by any of them due to the breach of the above warranty and undertaking.

 

11.                Photographs

The Buyer gives Rowley’s the absolute right to use any photographs or illustrations of any Lots at any time and in any way at Rowley’s discretion whether or not in connection with any auction.  The copyright in all illustrations and written matter relationing to Lots remains at all times the absolute property of Rowley’s.

 

12.                Buyer’s VAT status

Where the Buyer is a VAT registered person or business then prior to the auction all relevant information regarding VAT status must be given to Rowley’s which the Buyer warrants will be correct.  Once a Lot has been purchased on the basis of this information no alteration affecting liability to VAT can be made.

 

13.                Data Protection

Rowley’s will use information provided by its clients or obtained by Rowley’s relating to its clients for the provision of auction and art-related services, market and to manage and operate its business, or as required by law.  Rowley’s may wish to record and video images of you and or telephone conversations for security or legal reasons or as necessary to provide a higher quality of service.  Clients agree that Rowley’s may use any sensitive information that they supply to Rowley’s.  Unless permitted by law, Rowley’s will not otherwise process sensitive personal data without express consent.  By agreeing to these Conditions of Business, clients agree to the processing of their personal information.

 

14.                Export licensing regulations

Buyers should always check whether an export licence is required before exporting certain items.  For further information regarding export licences please contact: The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sports, 100 Parliament Street, London SW1A 2BQ.  Telephone 0207 211 6000. 

 

15.                Artist Resale Rights Regulations 2006

On certain Lots, which will be marked “AR” in the Catalogue and which are sold for a Hammer Price (together with Buyer’s Premium) of £1,000 (GBP), the additional premium will be payable to us by the Buyer to cover our expenses relating to the payment of royalties under the Artist Resale Right Regulations 2006.  Sales prior to 1 April 2024 are calculated in EUR and not GBP - ie. using the exchange rates provided by the European Central Bank.  For further information please consult a member of staff.

2.                   Each Lot is put up for sale subject to any reserve price put on it.  Where there is no reserve price (but not otherwise) the seller has the right to bid either personally or by any one person who may be the auctioneer.

 

3.                   Rowley’s disclaim responsibility for any default by the Seller for whom it acts as agent.  Neither the seller nor any person in the employment of Rowley’s makes or has the authority to make, any representation of fact nor to give any warranty.

 

4.                   Rowley’s have the absolute right to refuse any person admission to its premises or attendance to its auctions.

6.                   In the event of a sale by private treaty both the Seller and Buyer agree to be bound by these Conditions of Business or any other special condition of business.  Rowley’s hereby excludes itself from all liability, express or implied, in relation to such a sale, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

7.                   In these Conditions of Business and in any catalogue caused to be published by Rowley’s the following words and expression have the following meanings:

                        a.       “Rowley’s” Rowley’s Fine Art Auctioneers & Valuers Ltd.

 

                        b.       “Lot” any items consigned to Rowley’s with a view to being sold by auction by Rowley’s, and in particular any item described against a Lot number in any catalogue.

 

                        c.       “Hammer Price” the price at which a Lot is knocked down to a Buyer.

 

                        d.       “Purchase Price” the Hammer Price plus premium, chargeable VAT and any additional charges and expenses due from a defaulting Buyer.

 

                        e.       “Forgery” a Lot made or substantially made with the intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, date or period which is not shown as such in the catalogue and which at the date of the sale had a value materially less than it would have had if it had been in accordance with catalogue description, the burden of proof of forgery upon the Buyer.

 

8.                   In accordance with long standing practice a work catalogued with the full name(s) or recognised designation of an artist (sculptor or author), without any qualifications is in our opinion a work by the artist (sculptor or author).  In other instances the following expressions with the following meanings are used:

 

                        A.       “Attributed to”  In our opinion a work of the period of the artist which may be in whole or in part the work of the artist.

                        B.       “Circle of ...”  In our opinion a work from the period of the artist and showing his influence.

                        C.       “Follower of…”  In our opinion the work executed in the style of the artist.

                        D.      “Manner of ”  In our opinion a work executed in the style of the artist but of a later date.

                        E.       “ After..”  In our opinion a copy (of any date) after a work by the artist..

                        F.       “School..”  A work catalogued as ‘School’ accompanied by the name of a place  or country and a date means that in our opinion the work was executed at that time and in the location, eg. ENGLISH SCHOOL (19th century).

                        G.      “Signed/inscribed/dated..”  In our opinion the work has been signed, dated or inscribed by the artist.

                        H.      “Bears/with signature, inscription, date..”  In our opinion the signature/inscription/date are not by the hand of the named artist.

                        I.        “Surname only”  In our opinion a work of the school or by one of the followers of the artist..

                        J.        “*”  The symbol indicates that the conventional term in this glossary does not apply but in our opinion the work is by the artist named.

                        K.       “?” The addition of a question mark (?) after any of the above cataloguing terms indicates an element of doubt.

                        L.      All references to signatures, inscriptions and dates refer to the present state of the work, ie. As at the time of inspection of

                                    the purpose of cataloguing        .

                        M.     All works are measure top to bottom first in all instances.
