TERMS OF AUCTION SALE

FOR JEWELLERY AND WATCHES

1. These auction conditions apply to the traditional hall auction

as well as to the online auction “Rapp Online Only”.

2. The items offered for auction are auctioned by Peter Rapp

AG on behalf of and for the account of the consigner.

Peter Rapp AG acts on behalf of and for the account of the

seller and his agent.

3. The auction takes place voluntarily and publicly against immediate

cash payment in Swiss francs. Foreign currencies

are accepted at current exchange rates or as credited by a

major Swiss bank. The day of receipt or credit applies.

Peter Rapp AG has the right to withdraw, regroup or refuse

to knock down any lot. In the event of identical bids, the

one first received takes precedence; in the event of misunderstandings,

the lot is reoffered. Bidding increments are

at a minimum of 5% and a maximum of 10%.

4. The highest bidder will be awarded the lot and is obliged to

complete the purchase. A commission of 25% is charged

on the hammer price.

5. Buyers must pay Swiss VAT (currently 7.7%) on the commission,

all postage and insurance costs, and all additional

services.

All lots marked with * in the auction catalogue are subject

to VAT in full. For these lots, Swiss VAT (currently 7.7%) is

charged on the hammer price plus commission, all postage

and insurance costs, and all additional services.

The value added tax is inapplicable if the lots purchased at

auction are shipped abroad by Peter Rapp AG. Value added

tax will be invoiced to purchasers resident outside Switzerland

who personally collect the lots in Wil. However, it can

be refunded later on if an export certificate that has been

legally confirmed by the Swiss customs authorities is submitted

to us. Domestic traders can deduct the VAT amount

paid to Peter Rapp AG in their own VAT account as pre-tax.

The buyer agrees that Peter Rapp AG shall also receive a

commission from the consignor.

6. Buyers have the chance to submit their bids in real time via

the online live bidding system of Philasearch, Numissearch

and Antiquessearch. To do so, you must register at www.rappauktionen.

ch. Apart from the terms of auction sale outlined

under points 4 and 5, no additional charges are incurred

when using this service.

If you would rather not place your bid via the Rapp online

bidding system and prefer a different method, the surcharge

is calculated on the basis of the respective website’s

issued terms and conditions.

Rapp AG must register by completing a form 48 hours prior

to the start of the auction. New customers must supply the

following:

· a valid credit card

8. The purchased lots must be paid promptly upon receipt of

the invoice, but in no event later than within 7 days after

the end of the auction. Upon exceeding this deadline for

payment, the purchaser is immediately considered to be in

default and, in the event of delayed payment by the buyer

or refusal to take delivery, Peter Rapp AG is authorized to

charge interest, currently at the rate of 5% p.a. In the event

of payment delay on the part of the purchaser or refusal

to take delivery, Peter Rapp AG reserves the right to either

sue for performance of the contract as well as for payment

of the purchase price and indemnification, or to rescind

the sales transaction. In that event, Peter Rapp AG is authorized

to otherwise dispose the lots, particularly to sell

them by private treaty or to reauction them or to have them

reauctioned. In any event, the purchaser is liable for the

resulting damage as well as for any deficiency in proceeds.

the auction invoice. It is solely in the discretion of Peter

Rapp AG to hand over the lots concurrently with invoice

presentation. The lots are privately insured by Peter Rapp

AG and forwarded to the purchaser by mail or by other means;

as a rule, as registered or valued matter. Forwarding

costs and insurance premiums are at the purchaser’s expense.

10. Until full payment of the entire invoice is rendered, title to

all purchased lots remains with the consignor. Prior to that

time, they may neither be resold, pledged nor otherwise

transferred to a third party by the purchaser. Offset pleas

of any type are precluded.

will rescind the purchase and refund the purchase price on

condition that the lot is returned within the limit for claims

and in the same condition as at the fall of the hammer.
