1. Unless the auctioneer is selling on its own behalf, the auctioneer acts as agent for and on behalf of the seller and the contract for sale is between the buyer and the seller.

2. Subject to the auctioneer's discretion at section 4, clause 4(a), the contract for sale of a lot is formed on the fall of the hammer.

3. The contractual relationship between bidders and buyers, the auctioneer and the seller in relation to any live auction is governed by the buyer's agreement.

4. If you purchase an unsold lot after auction, the contract for sale is formed when the sale is agreed in writing and the purchase price of the lot shall be as set out at paragraph section 5, clause 5(1)(a) except that any reference to hammer price shall be read as the agreed sale price. So far as appropriate, the remainder of these terms of sale for live auctions shall apply to the sale as they would to an auction sale.

5. You may directly enforce any terms in the consignment agreement against a seller to the extent that you suffer damages and/or loss as a result of the seller's breach of the consignment agreement. As agent for the seller, we will not have any responsibility for any default or breach of obligations by you or the seller (unless we are the seller of the lot).

6. If you breach these terms of sale for live auctions, you may be responsible for damages and/or losses suffered by a seller or us. If we are contacted by a seller who wishes to bring a claim against you, we may at our discretion provide the seller with information or assistance in relation to that claim.

7. In addition to any other rights we may have to cancel a contract for sale under these terms of sale for live auctions, we may delay completion of a sale, delay release of a lot, or cancel the sale of a lot in the event:

2. We reserve the right, where we deem we are so required for regulatory purposes, to reveal your identity and contact details (and those of your principal) to the seller. You must also satisfy any security arrangements we have in place before entering the auction room to view or bid on any lot.

3. We may, at our complete discretion, refuse to register any bidder or delay registration if we are not satisfied with the information or documentation provided or the bidder's creditworthiness, including if the bidder has previously defaulted in paying for or collecting purchases in any of our auctions.

4. We do not undertake to register any bidder in time for any specific auction.

5. If you are bidding on behalf of another person, you will need to disclose such information in advance of the auction and that person may also need to complete our registration and client due diligence process and provide us with written authority to accept bids from you on his/her/its behalf. If we are not informed of these arrangements in advance of an auction or do not have clear written authority in place, you will be deemed to be bidding on your own account.

(e) If you attend a viewing and cause any harm or damage to any lot, we may seek damages from you. (f) You (including any agents or independent consultants acting on your behalf) must satisfy yourself about the accuracy of any description of a lot and of any other characteristics of a lot relevant to your decision to place a bid. We shall not be responsible for any failure by you or your agent or consultants to properly inspect a lot. (g) You are responsible for your decision to bid for a particular lot and for undertaking your own due diligence in relation to the lot.

3. Descriptions and Catalogues

(a) We provide descriptions, estimates, illustrations and condition reports to assist bidders in deciding whether to bid on a lot but subject to the remainder of this clause 3 accept no responsibility for their accuracy. (b) Our descriptions of the lot will be based on: (a) information provided to us by the seller of the lot (for which we are not liable); and (ii) our opinion (as set out at clause 3(e) below) (although it is likely that we will not be able to carry out a detailed inspection of each lot). (c) We shall prepare catalogues of lots for the reference of bidders and publish electronic catalogues on our website. (d) Any illustrations and photographs reproduced in the catalogues (including electronic online catalogues) and reports for use by bidders (catalogues and reports shall be hereinafter collectively referred to as "catalogues") are for identification and reference purposes only and do not accurately represent the colour, shape, condition or other features of the lots.

However, these are not to be relied on as a statement of fact or contractual representation. We do not warrant that we have carried out a detailed inspection of each lot. Any references to dimensions or weight are approximate only. (f) Estimates are provided as a guide to what, in our opinion, the sale price of a lot is reasonably likely to be. It is stated for the reference of the bidder. The estimate is not a guarantee of what the actual selling price or value may be and cannot be relied on as such. The estimate does not take into account the buyer's premium or any other applicable charges. (g) You are responsible for a decision to bid for a particular lot, and except as specifically set forth in this buyer's agreement, we shall not be responsible for the colour or shape of the illustrations, condition, descriptions, or any other information stated in the catalogues. (h) Descriptions and explanations stated in the catalogues are subject to change without notice. Any such change will be announced in a saleroom notice, in writing or orally at the sale room. Bidders are solely responsible for checking the details of any change to the description of a lot in advance of the auction. In the event of a change, the sale of the lot shall be deemed to have been made in accordance with such change. (i) We shall not accept the cancellation of a successful bid due to a difference between the information stated in the catalogues and the actual lot. (j) Unauthorised reproduction or use of the catalogues (for example images, text, etc.) is prohibited without our permission.

(b) We shall call the telephone number you have provided from the telephone set up at the sale room prior to the auction of the lot on which you wish to bid, and you may place bids through the telephone line.

4. Bidding procedures

(a) The bidder placing the highest bid for a lot accepted by the auctioneer on the fall of the hammer will be the successful buyer at the hammer price and bound by the contract formed pursuant to section 1, clause 2 and governed by the buyer's agreement, unless the auctioneer has for any reason at its/his/her option refused the bid, reopened the bidding and/or cancelled the sale and reoffered the lot. Any dispute about a bid will be settled at our sole discretion, giving due consideration to any circumstances and acting reasonably. We may settle disputes at our discretion in any way we think fit including by reoffering the lot and our decision will be final. If there is any discrepancy between our record of an auction and the information provided in any communication to you, our record will prevail. (b) The starting price and increments of bidding shall be at the sole discretion of the auctioneer. (c) We may at our sole discretion choose not to accept any bid. (d) Proxy bids will take precedent over bids of the same amount made in person at our sale room or by telephone. (e) We may bid on lots on behalf of the seller up to one bidding increment below the reserve. (f) If you make a successful bid but in our opinion you do not satisfy our client due diligence requirements, we may cancel the contract for sale between you and the seller.

The refund shall constitute the sole remedy and recourse you may have against us and the seller with respect to such a cancelled sale. (g) We may withdraw a lot at any time prior to or during the sale of a lot or cancel an auction. We will not be liable to you for our decision to withdraw a lot or cancel an auction.

(i) The bid price on the screen monitor installed at the sale room shall be displayed in Japanese yen and other currencies, but any amount displayed in a currency other than Japanese yen shall be for reference only and shall not necessarily reflect the correct exchange rate at the time of the auction. For the avoidance of doubt, all bidding shall be in Japanese yen. (j) The auction shall be conducted in the order of the lot numbers listed in the auction catalogue, however we may withdraw lots or change the order of the sale at our discretion and without prior notice to you.
