§ 1. Eligibility Tiberius Auctions GmbH (hereinafter referred to as the "Auction House" for short) conducts public auctions of movable items, in particular art and antiques, in accordance with the provisions of ? 158 of the Trade, Commerce, and Industry Regulation Act and the provisions of the General Terms and Conditions of the Auction House. Statutory provisions shall only apply in a subsidiary manner. Legal provisions such as those of the Consumer Protection Act shall remain unaffected. Conflicting terms and conditions of the Auction House's contracting parties shall not form the basis of the contract. § 2. Acceptance and rejection of objects (1) Movable objects of all kinds, in particular art and antiques, insofar as their sale is permitted by law, shall be accepted for auction. (2) The Auction House will not accept items suspected of having been stolen, embezzled, or illegally exported. (3) When taking over objects from abroad, the Auction House has the right to demand proof of customs clearance and an export permit. (4) The acceptance of objects can also be rejected by the auction house without giving reasons. Objects already accepted may also be withdrawn by the Auction House without giving reasons. § 3. Auction order/takeover certificate (1) The transfer of objects to the Auction House shall be recorded in a transfer bill with an integrated list, which shall be signed by the transferor. The transfer bill serves to confirm the transfer of those objects which have been handed over to the auction house by the transferor. Disadvantages due to incorrect or incomplete information shall be borne by the Consignor. (2) By signing the Takeover Certificate, the Contributor agrees to the General Terms and Conditions of the Auction House. Upon the contribution, the Contributor shall receive a copy of the Takeover Certificate as well as the General Terms and Conditions of the Auction House. Objections are to be raised immediately. (3) The payment of the auction proceeds, the revocation of the auction order, and the return of unsold Objects shall be made exclusively upon presentation of the copy of the takeover certificate. In case of justified doubts, the Auction House may also demand written proof of the right of disposal. (4) In the event of loss or destruction of the copy of the Takeover Certificate, the Auction House may make its services dependent on the judicial declaration of invalidity of the Takeover Certificate. § 5 Rejected contributions (1) Objects which have been handed over or sent to the Auction House for the purpose of auctioning, but whose acceptance for auctioning has been refused and which have not been collected by the Consignor within the time limit set to him, shall be a) returned to the depositor at his expense and risk, b) or stored at the expense and risk of the depositor. The same applies to objects that the auction house has withdrawn from the auction. (2) The Auction House reserves the right, without giving reasons, to withdraw Objects from the Auction until the acceptance of the bid. § 6. Valuation and description of the objects (1) The experts of the Auction House shall examine the Objects accepted for auction with due care and diligence in each case and shall provide an estimate and description thereof. Together with the contributor, the minimum selling price shall be determined. The appraisals, bid prices, and descriptions are prepared with due diligence, but the auction house does not guarantee their correctness to the buyer and the consignor. (2) The objects brought in shall not be auctioned below the agreed minimum sales price (limit). If the minimum sales price is not reached at the auction, the object shall be knocked down subject to reservation. The final award will be made only after the consent of the contributor. (3) The Auction House shall in no way be liable to the Purchaser and the Vendor for any damage caused by incorrectness of its price determination or descriptions. (4) The descriptions of the objects are subjective opinions of the experts of the auction house and mean: a) First and last name of the artist with life data and the designation "signed" or "monogrammed": a unique work of the artist. b) The designation "Attributed": a probable work of the artist. c) The term "circle": a work created in the artist's sphere of influence. d) The designation "marked": a probable work signed but not by the hand of the artist. e) The term "workshop": a work created in the artist's immediate environment. f) The term "school": a work created in temporal and stylistic proximity to the artist. g) The term "succession": a stylistically related work of the artist created in the succession. (5) The description of the Objects, information, and the General Terms and Conditions in English is only a non-binding auxiliary translation. The Auction House cannot assume any liability for the accuracy of the translation. § 7. Condition of the objects (1) All objects to be auctioned may be viewed and examined prior to the auction during the pre-auction viewing hours on the premises of the auction house, unless otherwise specified. The objects to be auctioned are almost exclusively art and antiques that are in a state of preservation that corresponds to their age and previous use. (2) Buyers may request a condition report of individual items from the Auction House. The condition reports merely provide a subjective assessment for which the Auction House assumes no liability. (3) Complaints or deficiencies with regard to the condition of an object shall only be mentioned in the auction catalog and in the condition report if the overall visual impression of the object is clearly impaired in the estimation of the auction house. Each buyer has the opportunity to inspect and examine the objects to be auctioned before the auction. § 8. Withdrawal of objects (1) The Consignor may withdraw Objects which it has consigned to the Auction House for auction up to 7 days before the start of the auction upon payment of a withdrawal fee in the amount of 25% of the minimum sale price. For items withdrawn until immediately before the start of the auction, a withdrawal fee in the amount of 40% will be charged. (2) The Auction House may immediately terminate the contractual relationship with the Depositor in writing or by means of electronic notification if one of the listed points occurs: a) The depositor does not give instructions to the auction house for the further handling of the business despite repeated requests, or b) the realization of the exploitation is impossible or unreasonable for the Auction House for legal, moral, ethical, social, or business policy reasons, or c) reasons for rejection within the meaning of ? 2 para. 2 subsequently emerge, or (d) if there are reasonable doubts as to the requisite power of disposal of the contributor, or e) the contributor has provided false information about the object to be auctioned, his person, or any other business-relevant circumstances when contributing to the auction. § 9. Aftersale (1) Objects remaining unsold in the auction will be offered for sale in the post-auction sale at their minimum sale price (limit) after the conclusion of the auction and may be sold directly by the Auction House until they are collected by the Consignor or the post-auction sale, which lasts 4 weeks, is deemed to have ended. (2) The provisions of the General Terms and Conditions that apply to the Objects submitted for auction shall also apply in the same manner to the Objects sold in the Post Auction Sale. § 10. Unsold and withdrawn objects (1) The Consignor of unsold Objects shall be requested to collect the Consigned Objects after the conclusion of the Post-Sale. If the Consignor fails to comply with the request within the period set, the Auction House reserves the right to collect the unsold Objects from the Consignor. (a) returned to the transferor at the transferor's risk and expense, or b) to store the unsold objects at the expense and risk of the contributor. (2) If the depositor of withdrawn objects does not comply with the request for collection within the time limit set for him, the procedure shall be the same as in ? 10 par. 1. § 11.

(3) A uniform premium shall be added to the hammer price (highest bid) as follows: a) In the case of differential taxation, a surcharge of 25% is added to the hammer price. The sales tax is already included in the differential taxation. b) In the case of normal taxation (noted in the catalog), a 21% surcharge is added to the hammer price.

The Auction House does not guarantee the correctness of the description, especially about the indication of the origin, age, epoch, production, materials, etc. (3) All objects sold at auction can be inspected and examined by the prospective buyers in the original during the time of the preview. Claims for damages are therefore excluded. In particular, the 14-day right of return for remote purchase.
