processes which were not generally accepted for use until after the date

of the auction or which were unreasonably expensive or impractical.

The buyer’s sole entitlement under this condition is to a refund of the

actual amount paid by him in respect of the Lot. Under no circumstanc

es shall the Auctioneer be liable for any damage, loss (including conse

quential, indirect or economic loss) or expense suffered or incurred by

belong to the seller;

(d) To store (whether at the Auctioneer’s premises or elsewhere) and

Lot free from any third party claims. As regards Lots not held by the

Auctioneer on its premises or under its control the seller warrants and

undertakes to the Auctioneer and the buyer that the Lot will be available

and in a deliverable state on demand by the Auctioneer or buyer. The

seller shall indemnify the Auctioneer and the buyer or any of their

respective employees, servants or agents against any loss or damage

suffered by any of them in consequence of any breach of the above

warranties or undertakings by the seller.

Reserves

25. Subject to the Auctioneer’s discretion, the seller shall be entitled

prior to the auction to place a reserve on any Lot. All reserves must be

agreed in advance by the Auctioneer and entered on the Sale Order

Form or subsequently be confirmed in writing to the Auctioneer prior to

auction. This also applies to changes in reserves. A reserve may not be

placed upon any Lots under €150 in value. The reserve shall be the min

imum Hammer Price at which the Lot may be sold by the Auctioneer.

A reserve once in place may only be changed with the consent of the

Auctioneer. A commission shall be charged on the ‘knock-down’ bid for

Lots which fail to reach the reserve price. Such commission shall be 5%

of the ‘knock-down’ bid. This commission and any VAT payable thereon

must be paid before removal of the Lot after the auction. The minimum

commission hereunder shall be €50. The Auctioneer may in its sole

discretion sell a Lot at a Hammer Price below the reserve thereon but in

such case the Proceeds of Sale to which the seller shall be entitled shall

be the same as they would have been had the sale been at the reverse.

Unless a reserve has been placed on a Lot in accordance with the pro

visions set out above such Lot shall be put up for sale without reserve.

In the event that any reserve price is not reached at auction then for so

long as the Lot remains with the Auctioneer and to the extent that the

Lot has not been re-entered in another auction pursuant to condition

31 the seller authorises the Auctioneer to sell the Lot by private treaty at

not less than the reserve price. The Auctioneer shall ensure that in such

a case those conditions herein which concern mainly the buyer shall,

with any necessary modification, apply to such sale.

Commission

26. The Seller shall pay the Auctioneer commission at the rate of 10% on

the Hammer Price of all Lots sold on behalf of the seller at Irish Art Sales

and 17.5% on all other Sales together with VAT thereon at the applica

ble rate. Minimum charges are detailed below. The seller authorises

the Auctioneer to deduct from the Hammer Price paid by the buyer

the Auctioneer’s Commission under this condition; VAT payable at the

applicable rates and any other amounts due by the seller to the Auction

eer in whatever capacity howsoever arising. The seller agrees that the

Auctioneer may also receive commission from the buyer pursuant to

condition 13.

Minimum Charges: Each individual lot is subject to a minimum fee of

€3.00 plus VAT, with a minimum charge per account of €50.00 plus VAT.

Insurance

27. Unless otherwise instructed by the seller, all Lots (with the exception

of motor vehicles) deposited with the Auctioneer or put under its control

for sale shall automatically be insured by the Auctioneer under the

Auctioneer’s own fine arts policy for such sum as the Auctioneer shall

from time to time in its absolute discretion determine. The seller shall

pay the Auctioneer a contribution towards such insurance at the rate of

1.5% of the Hammer Price plus VAT. If the seller instructs the Auctioneer

not to insure a Lot then the Lot shall at all times remain at the risk of

the seller who undertakes to indemnify the Auctioneer and hold the

Auctioneer harmless against any and all claims made or proceedings

brought against the Auctioneer of whatever nature and howsoever and

wheresoever occurring for loss or damage to the Lot. The sum for which

a Lot is covered for insurance under this condition shall not constitute

and shall not be relied upon by the seller as a representation, warranty

or guarantee as to the value of the Lot or that the Lot will, if sold by the

Auctioneer, be sold for such amount. Such insurance shall subsist until

such time as the Lot is paid for and collected by the buyer or, in the case

of Lots sold which are not paid for or collected by the buyer by the due

date hereunder for payment or collection such due date or, in the case

of Lots which are not sold, on the expiry of seven (7) days from the date

on which the Auctioneer has notified the seller to collect the Lots.

tioneer shall rescind the sale and refund to the buyer any amount paid

to the Auctioneer by the buyer in respect of the Lot.

Payment of Proceeds of Sale

29. The Auctioneer shall remit the Proceeds of Sale to the seller not later

than thirty (30) days after the date of the auction, provided however

that, if by that date, the Auctioneer has not received the Total Amount

Sale within seven (7) working days after the date on which the Total

Amount Due is received from the buyer. If credit terms have been

agreed between the Auctioneer and the buyer the Auctioneer shall remit

to the seller the Proceeds of Sale not later than thirty (30) days after the

date of the auction unless otherwise agreed by the seller. If before the

Total Amount Due is paid by the buyer the Auctioneer pays the seller an

amount equal to the Proceeds of Sale then title to the Lot shall pass to

Due within fourteen (14) days after the date of the auction, the Auction

eer shall endeavour to notify the seller and take the seller’s instructions

on the course of action to be taken and, to the extent that it is in the

sole opinion of the Auctioneer feasible, shall endeavour to assist the

seller to recover the Total Amount Due from the buyer provided that

nothing herein shall oblige the Auctioneer to issue proceedings against

the buyer in the Auctioneer’s own name. If circumstances do not permit

the Auctioneer to take instructions from the seller or, if after notifying

the seller, it does not receive instructions within seven (7) days, the

Auctioneer reserves the right, and is hereby authorised by the seller at

the seller’s expense, to agree special terms for payments of the Total

Amount Due, to remove, store and insure the Lot sold, to settle claims

made by or against the buyer on such terms as the Auctioneer shall in

its absolute discretion think fit, to take such steps as are necessary to

collect monies due by the buyer to the seller and, if necessary, to rescind

the sale and refund money to the buyer.

Payment of Proceeds to Overseas Sellers

30. If the seller resides outside Ireland the Proceeds of Sale shall be

paid to such seller in Euro unless it was agreed with the seller prior to

the auction that the Proceeds of Sale would be paid in a currency (other

than Euro) specified by the seller in which case the Proceeds of Sale

shall be paid by the Auctioneer to the seller in such specified currency

(provided that that currency is legally available to the Auctioneer in the

amount required) calculated at the rate of exchange quoted to the Auc

tioneer by its bankers on the date of payment. All payment instructions

seller accordingly and (in the absence of agreement between the seller

and the Auctioneer to the contrary) such Lot may, in the absolute discre

tion of the Auctioneer, be re-entered in the next suitable auction unless

instructions are received from the seller to the contrary, otherwise such

Lots must be collected at the seller’s expense within the period of thirty

(30) days of such notification from the Auctioneer. Upon the expiry

of such period the Auctioneer shall have the right to sell such Lots by

public auction or private sale and on such terms as the Auctioneer in its

sole discretion may think fit. The Auctioneer shall be entitled to deduct

from the price received for such Lots any sums owing to the Auctioneer

in respect of such Lots including without limitation removal, storage and

insurance expenses, any commission and expenses due in respect of

the prior auction and commission and expenses in respect of the sub

sequent auction together with all reasonable expenses before remitting

the balance to the seller. If the seller cannot be traced the balance shall

the said sum.

LOTS MADE OF / CONTAINING ANTIQUE IVORY AND/ OR CORAL

Bidders should be advised that importation regulations of several countries, including the US, prohibits the importation of ivory

and that of coral, or any goods containing same. Therefore Adams advises prospective purchasers who intend to ship lots

containing either ivory or coral to another country to familiarise themselves with the relevant importation regulations prior

to bidding. Adams will not be responsible for shipping items herein and the onus will be on the buyer to organise shipping at

their own behest.

LOTS MADE OF / CONTAINING ANTIQUE IVORY AND CORAL ARE INDICATED BY THE FOLLOWING SYMBOLs

‘*’ &’**’
