Terms and Conditions of Universal Auctions Group Ltd

Introduction

1.1. Universal Auctions Group Ltd ("Universal Auctions" or "we") operates trade-only auctions, where participants must act as business entities. By participating in our auctions, buyers ("Buyer" or "you") acknowledge and accept that the sale is not a business-to-consumer contract.

Description Accuracy

3.2. Bids submitted during the auction are legally binding and cannot be withdrawn once the hammer falls.

3.3. The final price of a lot includes the winning bid, a Buyer's Premium, ranging from 12% to 25%, and a 20% VAT may apply. Please refer to each listing for specific percentages.

Payment and Collection

4.1. Buyers must make payment within 24 hours of receiving the invoice through bank transfer. Card payments are not accepted.

Provisional Bids

As such, bids placed by the Account Holder on single or multiple lots remain valid for 24 hours after the sale's conclusion.
