In the event that the Auctioneers receive commission Bids on a Lot for identical amounts and at Auction those Bids are the highest for that Lot, the Lot shall be knocked down to the person whose commission Bid was received first. The Auctioneer will only Bid up to the maximum Bid stated, and if the Bidding is such that if a Buyer in the room Bids an identical amount to the commission Bid, unless expressly authorised the Auctioneer may not Bid higher on behalf of this person, and the Lot will be knocked down to the Bidder in the room. Absentee bids left which do not correspond to our usual increments of bidding (ie £102) will be rounded down to the nearest increment (ie £100)

6. Each Lot is sold by the Seller thereof with all faults and defects therein and with all errors of description and is to be taken and paid for whether genuine and authentic or not and no compensation shall be paid for same. It shall be assumed that the Purchaser has inspected the Lots bought on the view day prior to the Sale.

7. The property in a Lot shall not pass to the Buyer until he has paid the purchase price in full.

8. BURSTOW & HEWETT act as agents only and do not accept responsibility for the authenticity, attribution, genuineness, origin, authorship, date, age, period, condition or quality of any Lot, unless they have been instructed in writing by the Seller to so certify and in such case the Auctioneers do so as agents of the Seller and are not themselves responsible for such claims.

8a. All conditions, notices, descriptions, statements and other matters in the catalogue and elsewhere concerning any Lot are subject to any statements modifying or affecting the same made by the Auctioneer from the rostrum prior to any Bid being accepted for the Lot.

9. All statements, whether printed in the catalogue or made orally as to any of the matters set out in 8 (above) are statements of opinion and are not to be taken as being or implying any warranties or representations of fact by BURSTOW & HEWETT unless they have been instructed by the Seller to so certify.

The Seller and Buyer agree to be bound by BURSTOW & HEWETT’s decision.

17. The Auctioneer accepts no responsibility for items unsold; these must be removed within THREE DAYS after the Sale, unless a request for a further entry is made IN WRITING.

18. If a Lot is unsold at Auction BURSTOW & HEWETT are authorised to sell such a Lot privately for a price that will result in a payment to the Seller of not less than the net amount—ie.
