SGA’s Role as Agent

All sales undertaken by us either at auction or privately are undertaken either as agent on behalf of the Seller or from time to time, as princiap if we are the owner of Lot. Please note that even if we are acting as agent on behalf of the Seler rather than as principal, we may have a financial interest in the Lot.The contract for the sale of the Lot will be between you and the Seller.

CATALOGUE DESCRIPTIONS

Catalogue descriptions

Statements by us in the catalogue or condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, regarding the author-ship, origin, date, age, size, medium, attribution, genuinenes, provenance, condition or estimated selling price of any Lot are merely statements of opinion, and are not to be relied on as statements of definitive fact. Catalogue and web illustrations are for guidance only, and should not be relied on either to determine the tone or colour of any item. No lot shall be rejected on the grounds of inacurate reproduction. No Lot illustrated in thecatalogue and online shall be rejected on the grounds of cancellation, centring, margins, perforation or other char-acteristics apparent from the illustration. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this price is either the price at which the Lot will sell or its value for any other purpose. Many items are of an age or nature which precludes their beingin perfect condition and some descriptions in the catalogue orgiven by way of condition report make reference to damageand/or restoration. We provide this information for guid-anceonly and the absence of such a reference does not implythat an item is free from defects or restoration nor does areference to particular defects imply the absence of any others.

Other than as set out in clause 5.10, and in the absence of fraud, neither the Seller nor we, nor any of our employees or agents, are responsible for the correctness of any state-ment as to the authorship, origin, date, age, attribution, genuineness or provenance of any Lot nor for any other errors of description or for any faults or defects in any Lot. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgment as to such matters

You are responsible for satisfying yourself as to the condition of the goods and the matters referred to in the catalogue description.Examination of goods You are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which you are interested, before the auction takes place. Con-dition reports are usually available on request. We provide no guarantee to you other than in relation to Forgeries, as set out in clause 5.10 of these Terms and Conditions.

BIDDING

Registration before bidding

You must complete and sign a bid registration form before mak-ing a bid at auction. Please be aware that we may require buyers who have not purchased before from SGA to submit references prior to bidding. If you have not bid successfully with SGA in the past, or you are registering with us for the first time, we reserve the right to re-quire a deposit of up to 50% of the amount you intend to spend. Such deposit will be deducted from your invoice should you be successful. If you are unsuccessful at auction, your deposit will be returned by the same means it was paid to SGA.

Bidding as Principal

When making a bid (whether such bids are made in person or by way of telephone bids, commission or online or email bids), you will be deemed to be acting as principal and will be accepting personal liability, unless it has been agreed in writing, at the time of registration, that you are acting as agent on behalf of a third party buyer acceptable to us.

Commission Bids

If you give us instructions to bid on your behalf, by using the form provided in our catalogues or via our website, we shall use reasonable endeavours to do so, provided these instructions are received not later than 24 hours before the auction. If we re-ceive commission bids on a particular Lot for identical amounts, and at auction these bids are the highest bids for the Lot, it will be sold to the person whose bid was received first. Commission bids are undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale, and the conduct of the auction may be such that we are unable to bid as requested. Since this is undertaken as a free service to prospective buyers on the terms stated, we cannot accept liability for failure to make a

liability for failure to make a commission bid. You should there-fore always attend personally if you wish to be certain ofbidding.

Online Bidding We offer internet services as a convenience to our clients. We will not be responsible for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the internet, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by (i) a loss of internet connection by either par-ty for whatever reason; (ii) a breakdown or problems with the online bidding software and/or (iii) a breakdown or problems with your internet connection, computer or system. Execution of on-line internet bids on www.stanleygibbons.com is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the auction and we do not accept liability for failing to execute an online internet bid or for errors or omissions in connection with this activity.

Telephone BidsIf you make arrangements with us not less than 24 hours before the sale, we shall use reasonable endeavours to contact you to enable you to participate in bidding by telephone, but in no circumstances will we be liable to either the Seller or you as a result of failure to do so. This service is available only for lots with a lower estimate of £1000 or above. Video imagesAt some auctions there will be a video screen. Mistakes may occur in its operation, and we cannot be liable to you regarding either the correspondence of the image to the Lot being sold or the quality of the image as a reproduction of the original. Bidding by SGAWe reserve the right to bid on Lots on the Seller’s behalf up to the amount of the Reserve (if any), which will never be above the low estimate printed in the auction catalogue.Stanley Gibbons Limited reserves the right to bid on and pur-chase Lots as principal.

The Auctioneer’s DiscretionThe auctioneer has the right at his absolute discretion to refuseany bid, to advance the bidding in such manner as he may decide, to withdraw or divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots and, in the case of error or dispute, to put an item up for bidding again.

Successful BidSubject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the striking of his ham-mer marks the acceptance of the highest bid, provided always that such bid is higher than the Reserve (where applicable), and the conclusion of a contract for sale between you and the Seller.

Private Sale Agreements If you enter into any private sale agreements for any Lot with the Seller within 60 days of the auction, we, as exclusive agents of the Seller reserve the right to charge you the applicable Buy-er’s Premium in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, and the Seller a commission in accordance with the terms of the Seller’s agreement.

Return of LotOnce your bid has been accepted for a Lot then you are liable to pay for that Lot in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. If there are any problems with a Lot then you must notify us within 7 days of receipt of the Lot, specifying the nature of the problem. We may then request that the Lot is returned to us for inspection. Save as set out in clause 5.10, the cancellation of the sale of any Lot and the refund of the corresponding purchase price is entirely at our sole discretion. We will not normally ex-ercise that discretion if the Lot is not received by us in the same condition that it was in at the auction date.No lot may be returned on account of condition if the condition was stated on a Certificate of Authenticity accompanying the Lot.
