Conditions mainly concerning Buyers 1. The buyer All lots will be invoiced to the name and address given at the time of registration and the issue of an allocated buyer's number and cannot be transferred to other names and addresses. The highest bidder will be the buyer at the 'hammer price' and any dispute will be settled at the auctioneer's absolute discretion. Every bidder will be deemed to act as principal unless there is in force a written acknowledgement by 33 Auction that he/she acts as agent on behalf of the named principal. 2. Bidding increment The bidding increment will be according the pre-determined increment. 3. The premium A Buyer's Premium will be added to the hammer price and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price. If you are bidding online via Live Auctioneer's platform the buyers's premium is 18%. 4. GST Please note that each lot are currently located in different locations. We strongly advise clients to read the location markers in the catalogue, as delivery, duty and taxes will be incurred if a cross-country pick-up/shipment is needed. 5. Absentee bids. Upon request, 33 Auction shall execute absentee bids on behalf of intending buyers. This service is free. Lots will be bought as cheaply as is allowed by other bids placed and the seller's reserves. In the event of identical bids, the earliest will take precedence. When absentee bids are placed by telephone they are accepted at the buyer's risk, and must be confirmed prior to the sale by letter or facsimile. To ensure a satisfactory service, bidders are urged most strongly to send bids so that they are received at least 24 hours before a sale. 6. Telephone bids 33 Auction will do its best to accommodate telephone bids from buyers who have made proper arrangements at least 24 hours prior to the sale and subject to the availability of sufficient telephone lines. Because this method cannot be entirely free from risk of communication breakdown, 33 Auction cannot be held responsible for losses arising from missed bids. 7. Company property It is the general policy of 33 Auction to act as agent only for the seller. Circumstances do, however, arise from time to time where 33 Auction or its director/s may have an interest in a lot or lots being offered. In the catalogue, such lots are designated next to the lot number. 8. Payment Payment of the total purchase price (including applicable buyer?s premium and taxes if applies) must be made within seven calendar days of the sale and may be made by telegraphic transfer direct to 33 Auction?s bank account: For Singapore Auction: A/C Name: 33 AUCTION PTE LTD | A/C Number: 380-306-729-3 | Bank Name: United Overseas Bank | Bank Address: Orchard Branch, Singapore 238854. | Swift Code: UOVBSGSG For Indonesia Auction: A/C Name: PT BALAI LELANG LINDA | A/C Number : 218-302-173-7 | Bank Name: Bank Central Asia | Bank Address: KCU Blok A Cipete, Jl R S Fatmawati No. 6 A, Jakarta 12150 Indonesia| Swift Code: CENAIDJA Please kindly indicate your invoice number or lot number of your purchase in the payment message.

If 33 Auction is satisfied that the item is a 'deliberate forgery' and that the buyer has and is able to transfer a good and marketable title to the lot, free from any third-party claims, the sale will be set aside and any amount paid in respect of the lot will be refunded, subject to the express condition that the buyer will have no rights or claims against 33 Auction if: i) the description in the catalogue at the date of the sale was in accordance with the then generally accepted opinion of scholars and experts or fairly indicated that there was conflict of such opinion; or ii) the only method of establishing at the date of publication of the catalogue that the lot was a 'deliberate forgery' was by means of a scientific process not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue, or by a process which was unreasonably expensive or impractical. c) A buyer's claim under this condition will be limited to any amount paid in respect of the lot and will not extend to any loss or damage of whatsoever nature suffered, or expense incurred by him/her. d) The benefit of this condition will not be assignable and will rest solely and exclusively in the buyer who, for the purpose of this condition, will be and only be the person to whom the original invoice is made out by 33 Auction in respect of the lot sold.
