far as applicable, govern that private sale.

7.4.1      In the case of a private sale:

current MOT certificate which will be transferred to the Purchaser by the Vendor.

 

15 Principal and agent: joint and several liability: bids by agents

15.1        Where a Lot is offered for sale by a person in his own name but he is actually

acting as an agent he shall, if so required by the Auctioneer, be bound to disclose

the name and address of his principal and in such a case both the principal and

the agent shall be jointly and severally liable and any steps authorised by these

Conditions or by the general law may be taken against either or both of them.

before the sale ofsuch Lot begins and shall, if required by the Auctioneer, disclose

the name and address of his principal.

actually acting as an agent, whether or not he has disclosed that fact, he and his

principal shall be deemed to be and shall remain jointly and severally liable and:

15.3.1    any steps or proceedings authorised by these Conditions or the general law may

be taken or commenced against either or both of them; and,

be deemed to operate as an election discharging the other from liability unless

such steps or proceedings result in a final satisfied judgment.

15.4        Condition 15.3 shall not apply if before the commencement of the Sale the person

acting as an agent informs the Auctioneer that he intends to bid as a principal, in

which case he will be deemed to be solely liable.

to the Auctioneer when requested to do so.

and Buyers Premium) for each Lot that he bids for successfully at the Sale to the

Auctioneer as soon after the fall of the hammer as the Auctioneer may require.

Any time allowed for payment in respect of any purchase shall not be construed

as a waiver of the right to require earlier payment on any subsequent purchase.

16.3        The Purchaser shall not make any set-off or other plea for nonpayment of the

purchase price and shall be liable to the Auctioneer for any unpaid purchase price

whether or not the Lot he successfully bid for has been delivered.

16.4        If the Purchaser fails to pay for any Lot when required to do so by the Auctioneer

and he is not entitled to return the Lot under any of these Conditions, the

Auctioneer may, by notice in writing to the Purchaser, rescind the sale to him

at which point in time the Lot shall be deemed to be resold to and become the

property of the Auctioneer who shall be responsible to the Vendor for the amount

for which the Lot was sold to the Purchaser less the applicable charges.

16.5 Until the Purchaser makes payment in full to the Auctioneer, the Purchaser shall keep

the Lot in good, marketable, and readily identifiable condition and shall not re-sell it.

16.6        In the event of a re-sale by a Purchaser before payment has been made in full to

the Auctioneer the Purchaser shall hold the proceeds of such re-sale on trust for

the Auctioneer (as agent of the Vendor).

16.7        Although the risk in any Lot may have passed to the Purchaser, title to the Lot will

remain with the Vendor until the Purchaser has paid the purchase price for that

Lot in full into the Auctioneer’s bank account within the timescale from the End

of the Day’s Sale to do so set out in the Auctioneer’s terms of business.

If the title to the Lot does not pass to the Purchaser within the relevant timescale

allowed for paymentin this Condition the Vendor may then, but only then,recover

possession of the Lot from the Purchaser and the Vendor or the Auctioneer may

enter on the Purchaser’s premises (or such other premises where the Lot is held)

in order to do so.

16.8        If the Auctioneer accounts to the Vendor for the purchase price for a Lot (less

the applicable charges) before the Purchaser has made payment in full to the

Auctioneer the Auctioneer shall be entitled to any rights in that Lot which the

Vendor may have under Condition 16.7.

 

17 Sales of Lots by a Purchaser

If, before a Lot is removed from the Sale Premises, the Purchaser of that Lot sells

it to another person and notifies the Auctioneer of the name and address of that

person then that person shall be treated as the Purchaser of the Lot and shall

be entitled to all the rights, and be subject to all the obligations, of the original

Purchaser under these Conditions but this will not affect the right of the Vendor,

or the Auctioneer as agent for the Vendor, to hold the original Purchaser liable if

the subsequent Purchaser fails to fulfil any of those obligations.

 

18           Responsibility for Lots before and after the Sale

18.1        All Lots are at the risk of the Vendor before the Sale and it shall be his duty to

preserve them.

18.2        On the fall of the hammer each Lot is at the risk of the Purchaser.

18.3        The Auctioneer shall have no liability to notify the Vendor if any Lot is not sold.

18.4        If the Auctioneer expressly agrees to take charge of any Lot after the Sale or to

forward it to its destination he shall be liable for any failure to fulfil this obligation

which is due to his or his employees’ or contractors’ negligence, but otherwise he

shall have no liability or obligation for the safe custody of any Lot after the Sale.

 

19 Removal of Lots from the Sale Premises

19.1        The Purchaser shall remove the Lot he has purchased from the Sale Premises

following payment in full to the Auctioneer but only after the Auctioneer has

issued him with a written pass and then at his own expense and within such

reasonable time after the End of the Day’s Sale as the Auctioneer may direct.

19.2        No Lot whether sold or unsold shall be removed from the Sale Premises unless a

written pass has been issued by the Auctioneer to the person making the removal

and the written pass has been checked at the point of removal by a representative

of the Auctioneer.

19.3        Unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Auctioneer all Lots must be removed
