auction conditions

1.  The auction of the objects shall take place publicly and voluntarily on behalf of and for the account of the contracting authorities, who shall remain unnamed in the auction. Used objects are auctioned, for whose functionality in particular with used clocks, no warranty is given.  Old jewellery and watches are considered antiques and are not auctioned off as articles of daily use. The Auctioneer is entitled, even after the auction, to refuse to provide information on the person of the Consignor if and to the extent that he simultaneously assumes absolute liability for any liabilities of the Seller.

 2.  All items can be viewed and inspected at least 2 hours before the auction.  Bidders generally buy "as inspected" or "as could have been inspected". The images on the Internet are not binding in particular as to size, and color concerns. All items will be auctioned in the condition in which they were at the time of the auction. No liability is assumed for quality, condition, completeness, functionality, obvious and hidden defects, damage, special properties or the like. The bidder therefore acquires the items as seen and to the exclusion of any warranty claims against the auctioneer and the seller. Written and verbal information provided by the Auctioneer on the goods to be auctioned, in particular in the respective auction catalogue, are merely descriptions of the goods to be auctioned, but under no circumstances do they represent warranted characteristics within the meaning of § 459 ff and § 434 BGB and do not constitute liability for legal or material defects. This also applies in particular to counterfeits or plagiarisms. The information on the stones and replacement values has been compiled to the best of our knowledge and belief, taking into account the care required in commercial transactions. However, no guarantee is given that the objects will be classified in accordance with our valuation when they are presented to jewellery and gemstone laboratories or similar institutions. The auctioneer is liable for errors only in the case of intent and gross negligence. This also applies to the personal liability of employees and vicarious agents. Justified complaints must be submitted in writing within one week after receipt of the goods. 312d, paragraph 4 BGB applies to remote bidders who participate in the auction by telephone. There is no right of revocation and return according to § 312 d BGB.

3.  Auction visitors receive a bidder number against indication of the name, their personal data. You will be asked to identify yourself with your identity card. The deposit will be refunded upon return of the bidder's number. A bidder may be represented by the auctioneer with a written pre-bid, but the auctioneer may also refuse acceptance. The written pre-bid, the application for the telephone bid and the personal data must be submitted at least 24 hours before the start of the auction. With telephone bidders no guarantee is taken over for the coming off of a connection. With online bidders, no guarantee is given for the technical possibility of establishing an Internet connection or the timely transmission of bids. The Auctioneer may reject bids for objective reasons or lack of proof of creditworthiness and exclude persons from the auction without stating any reasons. The Auctioneer is not liable for any written, telephone, oral or online bids that have not been made and no reason for complaint can be derived from this.

 4. The bid will be accepted if there is no higher bid after three calls. If there are several equally high written bids, the first bid received will be awarded, provided that no bidder in the room exceeds the bid. The increments are approximately 10% and are determined in detail by the auctioneer. According to §§ 158 BGB (German Civil Code) the purchaser is bound to a conditional knockdown. This binding is valid until 1 week after the auction. If the purchaser does not receive the unconditional knockdown by then, the bid shall lapse.

5.  Without giving reasons, the auctioneer may only collect individual lots or not call them at all, reject bids, refuse to knock them down or only award them with reservation. In the event of disputes and doubts of any kind about the knockdown or if the Highest Bidder does not wish to accept the knockdown or if a timely and clear bid (also in writing, by telephone) has been erroneously overlooked, the Auctioneer shall be entitled to withdraw the knockdown and to offer the Object again.

6.  The knockdown obliges the buyer to immediately pay for and accept the auctioned goods. The invoice and goods must be carefully checked immediately upon receipt. Later complaints cannot be considered. Upon acceptance of the bid, possession, risk and storage of the item purchased at auction shall pass directly to the purchaser. The auctioneer is not liable for any damage or loss of the goods. Ownership is only transferred to the buyer after full payment has been made. In the case of remote tenants, the invoice is due immediately and payment and acceptance of the items within 10 days shall be deemed to have been made in due time. Costs of payment transactions, shipping and possible insurance are at the expense of the buyer. Foreign customers buy according to the foreign exchange, customs and tax regulations of their country. The invoices of the auction are subject to verification and correction. The goods shall only be sent to the Buyer at the express request of the Buyer and at the Buyer's risk and expense. The auctioneer is not obliged to store or dispatch the objects, there is no insurance. In the case of transport by a forwarder, the transport invoice is paid directly by the buyer to the forwarder.

However no value added tax is proven, since the goods offered here originate either from private or the value added tax law ( UStG ) § 25a difference taxation are subject and this is applied to second-hand objects, objects of art, collection pieces and antiques. Exceptions to this are clearly marked. Only on the commission, forwarding expenses, possibly insurances etc. the value added tax is raised.

 9.  The auctioneer can collect or sue for purchase money and purchase money arrears in her own name. If the auctioned goods are not accepted and paid for or if the buyer refuses acceptance or payment, the auctioned goods shall not be handed over to the buyer. In this case, the auctioneer can either demand fulfilment of the purchase contract or compensation for non-performance. If the auctioneer demands compensation for non-performance, the buyer loses his rights from the knockdown. It may re-auction the items at the buyer's expense in accordance with the applicable auction terms and conditions and subsequently sell them free in the event of a non-award. In this case, the buyer shall also be liable for any shortfall in proceeds including auction costs. The auctioneer can hold the buyer liable for the loss, but the buyer has no claim to any additional proceeds and can be excluded from further bids. In the event of default, the buyer shall be liable for all damages arising therefrom. The Auctioneer's right to choose shall not expire until all claims have been satisfied.

The same applies to purchasers who live abroad, who move their place of residence there or whose place of residence is unknown.
