INFORMATION FOR BUYERS
1. Introduction: The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers, particularly those
inexperienced or new to our saleroom. All sales are conducted in accordance with our printed ‘Conditions of Sale’
which are readily available for inspection and normally accompany catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you
if there is anything you do not fully understand.
2. Agency: As auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the seller whose identity, for reasons of
confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. Accordingly, if you buy your primary contract is with the seller.
3. Estimates: Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase
of a particular lot. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price and certainly will not be below it.
Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time
before the sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are in no sense definitive.
4. Buyers premium: The ‘Conditions of Sale’ oblige buyers to pay a buyer’s premium at 18% on the hammer price of each lot. In addition VAT is payable on this premium (see below). Additional fees apply when bidding online, registering and bidding via johntaylors.com incurs an additional 3% + VAT and registering via the- saleroom.com an additional 5% + VAT. Timed Auctions incur an additional 3% + VAT via both platforms.
5. Artist’s Resale Right Scheme: (Droite De Suite) Qualifying works of art that sell for more than £1,000, the sale is a percentage of the hammer price as follows:
4% up to £50,000
3% - £50,001 – £200,000 (VAT is not payable on this royalty charge)
All royalty charges will be included in the buyers invoice and are passed on to the relevant Copyright Society and no handling costs or additional fees with respect to these charges are retained by the auctioneers. Lots which the auctioneers consider likely to attract such charges will be highlighted in the catalogue.
6. VAT: (*) indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate imposed by current
UK law on the hammer price as well as being an element in the buyer’s premium, lots are often noted in the
saleroom by a red dot on the lot number. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because the seller is
registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because
VAT is due on importation into the UK. The double symbol (**) indicates that the lot has been imported
from outside the European Union and the present position is that these lots are liable to a reduced rate of VAT
on the gross lot price (i.e. both the hammer price and the buyer’s premium). Lots which appear without either
of the above symbols indicate that no VAT is payable on the hammer price. This is because such lots are sold
using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VAT included within the premium is
not recoverable as input tax.
7. Condition and description of lots: We are primarily, agents for the seller. We are dependent on information
provided by the seller and whilst we may inspect lots and act reasonably in taking a general view about them
we are normally unable to carry out a detailed or any examination of lots in order to ascertain their condition
in the way in which it would be wise for a buyer to do. Intending buyers have ample opportunity for
inspection of goods and, therefore, accept responsibility for inspecting and investigating lots in which they
may be interested. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained in the
‘Conditions of Sale’. Neither the seller nor we, as the auctioneers, accept any responsibility for their
condition. In particular, mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be in working order.
In specified circumstances lots mis-described because they are ‘deliberate forgeries’ may be returned and
repayment made provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars
identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects and FACTUAL EVIDENCE,
not just a chosen ‘Opinion’. There is a 21 day time limit from the date of auction, not date of collection or receipt
for a lot to be returned to us. (The expression ‘deliberate forgery’ is defined in our ‘Conditions of Sale’).
8. Electrical goods: Items are tested by a qualified electrician for SAFETY ONLY. An item that passes the
PAT safety test may not work. Conversely, an item that fails the test may work with just minor repair.
‘Working Order’ and ‘Safe’ are two completely different concepts. The only thing you may take for granted
is that the item will be safe at the point of sale. Therefore, the Auctioneers cannot be held responsible after the
point of sale. Those items sold genuinely as ‘antiques or collectables’ will not have been tested and if bought for
use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician before use. This is an
express condition.
9. Export of goods: Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required
and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character e.g. because they may
contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Ask us if you need help.
10. Bidding in person: Bidders are required to register before the sale commences and lots will be invoiced to the
name and address on the registration form. Some form of identification with proof of address will be required if
you are unknown to us. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone bidding. Account
transfers will not be recognised or facilitated under any circumstances.
11. Absentee bidding: Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be
bid excluding buyers’ premium. They will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if
any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids, the auctioneers may prefer the first
bid received. There are inherent dangers with this practice; therefore all arrangements shall be entirely at the
bidder’s risk. Absentee bid instructions must be received by telephone or email 12 hours prior to the sale.
12. Bidding Online: To take part in an online auction, a Buyer shall register with www.johntaylors.com or with www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/johntaylors and provide such information as is requested by the Agent at any time. The Buyer is reminded that the sale takes place by use of computer software operated by the Agent and supplied by a third party, and through use of the Buyer's computer and internet. The Agent cannot guarantee that the software will work without error or interruption and has no control over the internet or the Buyer's method of access. The Buyer should not assume that an offer has been received unless it has been acknowldeged.
The Auctioneer may at any time, without notice, postpone or cancel an Online Auction or extend an Online Auction beyond the published closing time (including extension of the timed Online Auction).
The timed Online Auction is auto bid extension enabled meaning that where a Bid is placed within ten minutes of the original scheduled close of the timed Online Auction, the scheduled close of time of the timed Online Auction will automatically be extended by ten minutes remaining. This continues with a new scheduled close time each time a Bid is placed until no-one places a Bid before the last scheduled close of the timed Online Auction. Every time a Bid is placed within ten minutes or less left in the Online Auction the time will change to ten minutes Bidding time until there are no more Bids. Such time shall then be deemed to be the close of the timed Online Auction.
13. Methods of payment: All accounts are due for settlement on SALE DAY. The following methods of
payment are acceptable.
i. Debit Card. Payments accepted up to maximum value of £100 for telephone transactions. No limit for counter transactions
ii. Credit Card. (Business cards subject to a fee of 2.5%+VAT). Payments accepted up to maximum value of £100 for telephone transactions. No limit for counter transactions
iii. Bank Transfer - Payments to John Taylors Clients Account, Lloyds, 24 Mercer Row, Louth, LN11 9JH
14. Collection and storage: Goods can be collected as soon as they are paid for and within three working days
following the sale. If goods remain with us and we have no contrary written advice of your intentions the
items will be moved to storage and reasonable labour charges levied and storage at the rate of £3+VAT per lot
per day thereafter for small items and £10+VAT per lot per day for furniture and large items.

and remedies:
(a) To proceed against you for damages for breach of contract.
(b) To rescind the sale of that lot and/or any other lots sold by us to you.

arising shall belong to the seller.
(d) To remove, store and insure the lot at your expense and, in the case of storage, either at our premises or

or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury (except as required by law by reason of our negligence)
or similarly for the safety of the property of persons visiting prior to or at a sale.
11. Commission bids: Whilst prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always
responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and
satisfied themselves as to its condition we will if so instructed clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf.

failure is unreasonable. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right
in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made.
12. Warranty of title and availability: The seller warrants to the auctioneer and you that the seller is the true
owner of the property consigned or is properly authorised by the true owner to consign it for sale and is able to
transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.

buyers.

their entirety and on the ‘Terms of Consignment’ as notified to the consignor at the time of the entry of the lot.
15. Descriptions and condition:
(1) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence
on each lot. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and
any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to
a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to
authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of
opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for
opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer nor our employees
or agents nor the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties,
whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded.
This condition is subject to the next following condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as
provided for in paragraph 6 ‘Information for Buyers’.
(2) Private treaty sales made under these conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer
legislation.
16. Forgeries: Notwithstanding the preceding condition, any lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as
defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction (not collection) provided it is in the same
condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue
description and a written statement of defects and FACTUAL EVIDENCE, not just a chosen ‘Opinion’. If we are
satisfied from the evidence presented that the lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you
for the lot including any buyer’s premium provided that
(1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or
(2) unless you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under
this condition.
The right of return provided by this condition is additional to any right of remedy provided by law or by these
‘Conditions of Sale’.
General:
17. We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions
by any person.
18. (1) Any right to compensation for losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any
breach of these conditions and any exclusions provided by them shall be available to the seller and/or the
auctioneer as appropriate.
(2) Such rights and exclusions shall extend to and be deemed to be for the benefit of employees and agents of
the seller and/or the auctioneer who may themselves enforce them.
19. Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be sent by post or email in which case it shall be
deemed to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after sending.
20. Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items in which case the
descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing at the commencement of the
catalogue.
21. Any indulgence extended to bidders, buyers or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict terms of these
conditions or of the ‘Terms of Consignment’ shall affect the position at the relevant time only and in respect of
that particular concession only; in all other respects these conditions shall be construed as having full force and
effect.
22. English law applies to the interpretation of these conditions.
