General Terms and Conditions of Sale

ESTIMATES
In the catalogue, the estimated sale price is shown after each lot. This is for guidance only; the hammer price may vary.
TERMS OF SALE
The successful bidder shall be the highest and final bidder, and shall be required to provide their name and address.

In the event of a dispute at the time of the auction, that is to say, if it is established that two or more bidders have simultaneously made an equal bid, either aloud or by signal, and are both claiming the item at the same time after the word ‘sold’ has been pronounced, the item in question shall immediately be put up for auction again at the price offered by the bidders, and all members of the public present shall be permitted to bid once more. Any amendments to the terms of sale or the catalogue descriptions shall be announced verbally during the sale and recorded in the minutes.
No lot shall be handed over to the successful bidders until all sums due have been paid in full.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO BUYERS,
STORAGE AND COLLECTION OF PURCHASES
Adjug’Art Brest advises buyers to examine the condition of the lots they are interested in carefully before the sale. To assist them in this, condition reports are made available. The information provided not only in the reports but also in the catalogues is merely an expression of opinion.
To this end, the absence in the catalogue or condition report of references to ‘restorations, damage…’ in no way implies that a vehicle or object is free from any defects or restoration. Similarly, a specific mention does not imply that an item is free from any other defects. Under no circumstances can it fully replace a personal inspection by the prospective buyer. Consequently, no claims will be accepted once the bid has been declared.
1 – Vehicles, motorbikes and bicycles may be collected after full payment has been made, on Monday 26 and Tuesday 27 October from 8.00 am to 6.00 pm sharp, by appointment. Items on site may also be collected. Items (excluding vehicles, motorbikes and bicycles) will then be transported to the auction house at 13 Rue Traverse, Brest. Vehicles, motorbikes and bicycles that have been sold but not collected by their buyers will be transported and stored free of charge for 8 days in a secure, covered facility in the Brest area. Beyond this period, storage, insurance and logistics costs will be borne by the successful bidders at a rate of €20 (excl. VAT) per calendar day and per lot. Storage is limited to one month.
2 – Small lots (excluding vehicles, motorbikes and bicycles) may be dispatched via M.B.E. BREST -

3 – Insurance. Once the bid has been accepted, the auctioned items become the sole responsibility of the buyer. It is the buyer’s responsibility to insure the lots immediately upon acceptance of the bid.
4 – Live bidding:
If you wish to bid online during the sale, please register on the various websites listed on the homepage and consult the terms and conditions. Any online bid will be considered an irrevocable commitment to purchase.
Adjug’Art cannot guarantee the reliability of this method of bidding.
