4. Terms and Conditions: FUNDRAISING ART AUCTION, 22 OCTOBER AT MALL GALLERIES
Introduction
These terms and conditions apply to the New English Art Club ("the NEAC", "we", "us") Fundraising Art Auction to be held on 22 October at Mall Galleries and to any absentee bids submitted in advance of the auction.
By placing a bid in person, or submitting an absentee bid, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.
The NEAC reserves the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time.
For any enquiries relating to the auction please contact info@neac.co.uk
The Auction
The auction is conducted by or on behalf of the NEAC.
The NEAC reserves the right to withdraw, substitute, combine, divide or re-offer any lot at its discretion.
Information relating to artworks, including images, dimensions, media, dates and descriptions, is provided in good faith. While the NEAC endeavours to ensure all information is accurate, such information is provided for guidance only and does not form part of any contract of sale.
Images of artworks displayed online or in promotional materials may differ slightly from the physical artwork owing to screen settings, photography and reproduction processes.
Bidding in Person
Bidding in person will take place at Mall Galleries on 22 October.
The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in the conduct of the auction, including:
- determining the successful bidder;
- accepting or rejecting bids;
- settling disputes between bidders;
- determining bidding increments;
- re-opening bidding where appropriate.
The auctioneer's decision shall be final.
Absentee Bidding
The NEAC offers an absentee bidding service for bidders unable to attend the auction in person.
To place an absentee bid, bidders must submit the required information by the published deadline using the method specified on the auction website.
An absentee bid authorises the NEAC to bid on the bidder's behalf up to, but not exceeding, the maximum amount stated by the bidder.
The NEAC will endeavour to execute absentee bids accurately and at the lowest possible price consistent with competing bids and the auction process. However, the NEAC cannot guarantee that any absentee bid will be executed.
The NEAC shall not be liable for any failure to execute an absentee bid arising from technical failures, communication failures, administrative errors, late submission or circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
Absentee bids received after the published deadline may be disregarded.
Identical and Competing Absentee Bids
Where two or more absentee bids are received for the same lot, the highest absentee bid shall take precedence.
Where two or more absentee bids are received for the same lot at the same maximum amount, priority shall be given to the absentee bid received first.
The NEAC will not disclose the maximum bid submitted by any bidder or the identity of competing bidders. The NEAC may publish current bidding levels on its website and may inform bidders whether they have been outbid prior to the auction.
Reserves and Opening Bids
Some artworks may be offered subject to a confidential reserve price.
The reserve price will not normally be disclosed.
The Starting Price published on the auction website may be below the reserve price.
The highest bid received for a lot will not necessarily secure the artwork if the reserve price is not met.
Finality of Sale
The fall of the hammer signifies acceptance of the highest bid and the formation of a legally binding contract of sale.
By placing a bid, whether in person or by absentee bid, bidders are making a commitment to purchase the artwork if their bid is successful.
Auction purchases are final. Successful bids may not be withdrawn, cancelled or returned except where required by law.
Payment
Successful bidders attending the auction in person will normally be expected to settle payment on the day of the auction.
Successful absentee bidders will be invoiced following the auction.
Payment in full must be received within seven days of the invoice date unless otherwise agreed in writing by the NEAC.
Ownership of the artwork shall not pass to the purchaser until payment has been received in full.
The NEAC reserves the right to cancel any sale where payment is not received within the required period.
Where a sale is cancelled due to non-payment, the NEAC may offer the artwork to another bidder or withdraw the artwork from sale.
The NEAC reserves the right to refuse future bidding privileges to any person who fails to complete a purchase.
Collection and Delivery
Purchased artworks may be collected from Mall Galleries where arrangements permit.
For absentee bidders, artworks will not be released, dispatched or made available for collection until payment has been received in cleared funds.
Packing, shipping, delivery and insurance costs may apply and will be the responsibility of the purchaser.
Delivery arrangements will be communicated to successful bidders following the auction.
The NEAC shall not be liable for delays arising from couriers, customs authorities or circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
Anti-Money Laundering and Verification
The NEAC reserves the right to request proof of identity, proof of address and any additional information reasonably required to comply with applicable laws, regulations and anti-money laundering requirements.
The NEAC may refuse, suspend or cancel any bid, sale or transaction where requested information is not supplied or where further verification is required.
No artwork will be released until any required verification procedures have been completed and payment has been received in cleared funds.
Communication and Data
Information submitted in relation to auction registrations, bids and purchases will be processed in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and the NEAC's privacy policy.
Personal information may be retained for administrative, legal, financial and regulatory purposes connected with the auction.
Where a bidder makes a purchase, their details may be added to the NEAC's secure contacts management system.
Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the NEAC shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential or economic loss arising from participation in the auction.
The total liability of the NEAC arising in connection with the auction shall not exceed the hammer price of the artwork in question.
Nothing in these terms shall exclude liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability which may not lawfully be excluded.
Force Majeure
The NEAC shall not be liable for any delay, cancellation, interruption or failure arising from circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, severe weather, transport disruption, venue closure, technical failure, industrial dispute, public health emergencies or government action.
