The buyer must pay an additional 4% on the sale price for works of art selling for between £1,000 and £50,000. Lesser percentages apply in higher brackets. No additional costs or handling fees are retained by the Auctioneers.1. Conditions of Sale English Law Horners Conditions of Sale shall be construed in accordance with English Law. All transactions to which these Conditions of Sale apply shall be governed by English Law. Horners hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts and all other parties concerned hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts 2. Definitions In these Conditions Horners, who act only as auctioneers and agents for the vendor, are called "the Auctioneers", and the representative of Horners conducting the auction is called "the Auctioneer". It is acknowledged that Horners are a provincial general practice auction house and do not hold themselves to be experts. Horners act as agents for the vendor who shall indemnify them for all lawful acts made for the vendor in the course of carrying out their actual and implied instructions. 3. General Whilst Horners make honest effort to ensure the accuracy of their catalogue and the description of any lot: 3.1 Each lot as set out in the catalogue or as divided or combined with any other lot or lots is sold by the vendor with all faults, imperfections and errors of description. Neither the Auctioneers nor the Vendor are responsible for any references as to the condition of lots listed. The absence of any such reference does not imply that a lot is in good condition or free from faults or imperfections. Intending buyers must satisfy themselves by inspection prior to the sale of the condition of any lot. Attention is drawn to Clause 32. 3.2 Horners do not accept responsibility for the authenticity, attribution, genuineness, original authorship, date, age, period, condition or quality of any lot. 3.3 All statements, whether printed in the catalogue or made orally, as to any of the matters set out above are statements of opinion only and are not to be taken as being or implying any warranties or representation of fact by Horners. 3.4 Any claim under Statute must be received in writing by the Auctioneers within seven days of the day of the sale. 3.5 Instructions given by telephone or facsimile or electronically are accepted at the sender's sole risk and must be confirmed in writing forthwith. 3.6 Any notice by Horners to a vendor, consignor, prospective bidder or buyer will be given by first class mail and shall be deemed to have been duly received by the addressee 48 hours after posting. 3.7 In the event of a sale by private treaty both the vendor and the buyer agree to be bound by all Horners Conditions of Sale. 3.8 Horners shall have the right at their absolute discretion to refuse admission to its premises or attendance at its auctions by any person. 3.9 If the buyer exercises a right to return any lot strictly in accordance with the published conditions of sale, then Horners at their discretion shall have the right to refund to the buyer the hammer price and the buyer’s premium plus any VAT paid by the buyer to Horners in respect of the specific lot. Horners shall have no further liability whatsoever to the buyer in respect of the lot; specifically the cost of any return postage, packing, shipping and return insurance will not be refunded. In no case will any claim for consequential loss of any kind be considered. 4. Registration By signing the registration form the buyer agrees to participate in the auction on the basis of conditions of sale as printed in the catalogue, on websites and on display. To assist the progress of the sale, all prospective buyers must register full details (see 14.4) at reception and collect a numbered bidding card before the sale commences. This card may be used to indicate your bids to the auctioneer during the sale. If successful, please ensure that your number can be seen by the auctioneer and that it is your number that is called out. Should there be any doubts as to price or buyer, please draw the auctioneer's attention to it immediately. 5. Value Added Tax Lots on which Value Added Tax will be payable by the buyer on the "hammer price" are indicated in the catalogue by a symbol beside the lot number ( * ). The buyer shall pay any VAT which may be due on any amounts owed by the buyer under these Terms of Business at the rates prevailing on the day of the auction. 6. Auctioneers Margin Scheme The Auctioneers Margin Scheme allows auctioneers to sell items without VAT on the hammer price. Under the margin scheme an amount equivalent to VAT at the current rate is added to the buyer’s premium. This amount cannot be reclaimed from HM Revenue & Customs. The VAT element will not be shown separately on the buyers invoice. 7. Absentee Commission Bids 7.1 If instructed, the auctioneers will execute written bids for prospective purchasers; this service is free. Lots will always be purchased as cheaply as is allowed by such other bids and reserves. In the event of identical bids, the earliest will take precedence, a bid in the sale room will always take precedence. There must always be a maximum limit indicated, i.e. the amount to which you would bid if you were attending the auction yourself. "Buy" or unlimited bids will not be accepted. Commission bids placed by telephone, facsimile or electronically are accepted at the bidder’s risk and must be in accordance with clause 7.2 below. We urge our clients to place such commission bids within one hour of the close of the view day. 7.2 Absentee bids can only be accepted if accompanied by full details of the bidder, including full name and postal address, email address and telephone numbers. You must enter valid debit card details to be accepted to bid online at this auction and you must ensure that you have sufficient funds available on your payment card. We do not accept card payments from absentee overseas buyers. See Clause 36.3. 8. Telephone, Internet & Live On-line Bids Requests for telephone bidding must be registered with the Senior Sales Manager by the close of the view day. It may not be possible to accept requests on sale days. Written confirmation of such bids from persons unknown to the auctioneers must be received before the commencement of the sale. Whilst every effort will be made to execute telephone bidding, or bidding by placing absentee bids, or by live internet bidding, or electronic bidding the auctioneers cannot be held responsible for any default or neglect, or technical problem, in connection with this service. All such arrangements therefore are made entirely at the prospective buyer's risk. 8.1 The purchaser shall pay the hammer price together with a premium of 17%, plus VAT at the standard rate. In addition any lots purchased through ATG (Media services) (www.the-saleroom.com) or by telephone bidding will be liable to an additional 5% charge on top of the hammer price (this premium will be subject to VAT at the prevailing rate). By the making of a bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to this fact and that he assents to the Auctioneers, and ATG (Media Services) receiving and retaining the said premiums. 8.2 In completing the bidder registration via www.the-saleroom.com and providing your debit card details from which specific card the payment is to be made and unless alternative arrangements (other than card payments) are made with Horners Auctioneers you: (i) authorise Horners Auctioneers, if they so wish, to charge the registered debit card in part or full payment, including all fees, for items successfully purchased in the sale, and (ii) confirm that you are authorised to provide these debit card details through www.the-saleroom.com and agree that Horners Auctioneers are entitled to ship the goods to the specific cardholder name and cardholder address provided in fulfilment of the sale. We do not accept any card payments from absentee overseas buyers – see Clause 36.3. for payment options. 9. The Auction 9.1 The Auctioneer has absolute discretion to divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots or to withdraw any lot or lots from the sale, to refuse bids, regulate bidding without in any case giving any reason or without previous notice. He may bid on behalf of the vendor for all goods which are being offered subject to reserve. Buyers should be aware that lots are offered subject to a reserve price unless otherwise stated in the catalogue. The minimum opening bid taken for any lot is £5. 9.2 The highest bidder at the fall of the hammer shall be the buyer except in the case of a dispute. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen, he has absolute discretion to settle it or refuse a bid. 9.3 All conditions, notices, description, statements and other matters in the catalogue and elsewhere concerning any lot are subject to any statement modifying or affecting the same made by the Auctioneer from the rostrum prior to any bid being accepted for the lot.

9.4 Each lot put up for sale may be subject to a reserve price which will have been determined by the vendor and communicated to the Auctioneer prior to the auction. The Auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding at levels and in increments he considers appropriate and is entitled to place a bid or series of bids on behalf of the Seller up to the Reserve on the lot, without indicating he is doing so and whether or not other bids are placed. 9.5 Buyer’s Premium. All lots are sold subject to a buyer’s premium of 17% plus VAT unless otherwise stated and published by the auctioneers, such sum to be retained by the auctioneers for their own remuneration. Telephone bidding will be liable to an additional 5% charge on top of the hammer price (this premium will be subject to VAT at the prevailing rate) For any lots purchased through ATG media services (the-saleroom.com) there will be an additional buyer’s premium of 5% plus VAT to be retained by ATG media services for their own remuneration. 10. Rescission Notwithstanding any other terms of these Conditions, if within fourteen days after the sale Horners has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view, taking full consideration of the catalogue entry, the lot is a deliberate forgery and within this period after such notification the buyer returns the same to Horners in the same condition as at the time of sale and by producing evidence, the burden of proof to be upon the buyer, satisfies Horners that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery, then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. In the event of a dispute then the matter shall be settled by arbitration, the arbitrator to be nominated by the President of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. Both the buyer and the vendor agree to be bound by the decision. "Deliberate Forgery" means an imitation made with the intention of deceiving as to authorship, origin, date, etc., and which at the date of the sale had a value materially less than it would have had if it had been in accordance with that description. Where rescission of sale is justified due to the actual and implied conditions of sale, the vendor gives the auctioneer the power to rescind or accept rescission of the sale. 11. Default Horners disclaim responsibility for default by either the buyer or the vendor because they act as agents for the vendor only and therefore do not pay out to the vendor until payment is received from the buyer. 12. Catalogue & Other Descriptions 12.1 Horners take great care to ensure that all statements as to the attribution, age, date, origin, provenance and condition are reliable and accurate but it should be noted that all such statements are opinions prepared with due care, if provenance (written or historical fact) cannot be produced. Horners do not hold themselves to be experts. 12.2 Horners reserve the right, in forming their opinion to consult any expert or authority they consider to be helpful in making their decision bearing in mind the statements made in condition 12.1 above (no charge for this service will be made to any person or vendor) and the decision of the skilled expert need not be relied upon 12.3 All conditions, notices, descriptions, statements and other matters in Horners catalogue and elsewhere concerning any lot are subject to any statements modifying or affecting the same made by the Auctioneer from the rostrum prior to any bid being made or accepted 12.4. Horners both for themselves and the Seller of each lot point out that the following expressions have the meaning ascribed to them below: 12.4.1 The full name(s) or recognised Designation of an artist stated i.e. 'Claude Monet' In the opinion of Horners the work is by the artist specified 12.4.2 'Attributed to' In the opinion of Horners the work is probably by the artist in whole or in part 12.4.3 The Surname of an artist In the opinion of Horners the work is possibly by the artist or his studio 12.4.4 'Circle of' In the opinion Horners the work is of the period of the artist and showing his influence 12.4.5 'Follower of' In the opinion of Horners the work is executed in the artist's style but is not necessarily by a pupil 12.4.6 'Manner of' In the opinion of Horners the work is executed in the artist's or school's style but of a later date 12.4.7 'After' In the opinion of Horners the work is a copy (of any date) of a work of the artist 12.4.8 Bears 'Signature/Date/Label/Stamp' etc In the opinion of Horners the work may or may not be that of the artist, make, period or of that date etc 12.4.9 'A/F' The work is as found (or all faults) 12.4.10 'Style' In the opinion of Horners the work is a copy of an earlier period but of that design 12.4.11 Please note it is Horners normal practice to describe all lots as 12.4.8 13. Damage Of Lots During View Or Sale And Damage To Site 13.1Damage caused by any person to the Premises by the removal of lot or lots, or by any other cause, shall be made good by him/her at the sum to be agreed between parties after reasonable discussion. The Auctioneers will consider any reasonable offer or approach to settle the matter. 13.2 Any person wilfully or accidentally breaking or damaging lots at any time will be responsible for any loss or damage. 14. Condition of Lots Sufficient time is given for inspection of each lot by Horners, and it is recommended that the potential buyer will have satisfied himself by way of inspection, as to the physical condition and description of such goods/works. Any condition dispute or shortage must be recorded in writing with the auctioneers before removal of the lot from the saleroom and cannot be recognised thereafter. 14.1 Commission bids will be accepted by Horners but the buyer must inspect the particular works/goods and satisfy himself as to the physical condition and description before submitting such a bid. Absentee bidders who are unable to inspect the lots should be aware of the following: Horners are unable to offer condition reports. We are pleased to provide e-mail images of items for your assessment. If required, we will give an honest opinion in writing as to any damage or restoration which is immediately apparent. We do not hold ourselves to be experts and accept no responsibility for any oral opinion which may be given. We give no guarantee on authenticity, completeness or concealed restoration. We strongly recommend your personal viewing of the item. If purchase is subsequently effected – viewed or not viewed – full liability as to the price, condition, authenticity and suitability is that of the purchaser. Commission bids will be treated in the strictest confidence by Horners. A bid in the sale room at the time of sale shall always take preference to a commission bid of the same value. 14.2 The ownership of the goods/works shall not pass to the buyer until payment has been made in full and will be held by the Auctioneer until that time, subject to the provisions of clause 36 below 14.3 Any person wishing to bid in the sale will be required to register prior to commencement of sale: (a) His/Her full name (b) His/Her address and contact telephone numbers and email address.

Collections must be made in person by the buyer only who must present the card used for payment together with photographic identification (e.g. passport, driving license). Goods will not be released to any third party. 15.3 Horners disclaim all responsibility for accidental breakages, loss or damage to lots howsoever caused when being removed from the Site by the purchaser including unauthorised removal unless such breakage, loss, damage or removal is caused by the negligence of the Auctioneer or any employee of Horners 15.4 Collection of Purchases: All goods must be carefully checked by the purchaser prior to removal from our salerooms.

CONDITIONS MAINLY APPLICABLE TO VENDORS 18. Warranty of Title 18.1 The vendor warrants to Horners and the buyer that he is the true owner of the property or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the goods free from any third party claims. Horners normally act for private vendors only, therefore vendors must notify Horners in writing if they are selling in the course of a business. 18.2 The vendor will indemnify Horners its servants and agents and the buyer against any loss or damage suffered by either in consequence of any breach of (18.1) above on the part of the vendor. 19.

All goods will be entered in those sales which Horners consider suitable, sometimes within three days of delivery, and sold at the Auctioneers discretion. All goods are accepted by Horners subject to all their Conditions of Sale. By delivering goods to Horners for inclusion in their auction sales, each vendor acknowledges that he or she has accepted and agreed to be bound by all Horners Conditions of Sale. Specifically, the auctioneers are instructed to sell the goods by auction. Should goods remain unsold after being offered for sale by auction, then Horners are instructed to sell them by private treaty or (entirely at Horners own discretion) to offer any unsold lots through their online sales facility or any other Horners auctions with no additional charges to the vendor.

For sales of antiques and collectibles, minimum charge per lot is £5 + VAT, and the unsold lotting fee is £5 + VAT 20. Collection Horners sometimes undertake the collection of goods but will, if requested instruct a contractor on the vendor's behalf in their capacity as agents.

Unless written instructions are received to the contrary the charge for these services will be deducted from the proceeds of sale. 21. Loss or Damage Horners disclaim all responsibility for loss or damage to goods or for unauthorised removal of goods unless caused by the direct negligence of their employees.

Right to Sell Vendors will be charged at a rate of £1 (small items) and £2.50 (furniture and large items) per lot per day for goods left on Horners premises after the vendor has been requested to remove them. If the goods are not removed within seven days (weekly sales) or twenty-one days (special antique sales) of such request Horners reserve the right to sell the goods at their absolute discretion, without reserve, and without further notice in order to defray costs and storage charges. 25. Insurance 25.1 Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods which have formally been accepted for sale or valuation (confirmed in writing) and deposited safely at Horners premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, theft by forcible entry or water damage. The goods will be insured for an amount equal to the reserve price, or in the absence of a reserve price, the average of the pre-sale high and low estimates of the hammer price as recorded by the auctioneers.

All charges are subject to Value Added Tax. 30.
