Regarding payment for lots:
For INTERENCHERES bidders:
- The amount stated on your invoice will be debited automatically
immediately after the sale for invoices under €1,100, and a deposit of €1,100 will
also be debited for invoices over €1,100.
Cash payments are accepted:
• Up to €1,000, including fees and taxes, where the debtor is resident for tax purposes in France or is acting in the course of a professional activity.
• Up to €15,000, including fees and taxes, where the payer can prove that they
are not resident in France for tax purposes and are not acting for the purposes of a professional activity.
Invoices exceeding 1,000 euros must be paid by
bank transfer, credit card or 3D Secure payment (www.orne-encheres.fr).
For payments by cheque, buyers will be asked to present two forms of identification (belonging to the same person and matching the name on the cheque), and a one-month clearance period will apply before the lots are released. In the event of payment by an uncertified cheque, the handover of the items may be deferred until payment is confirmed, and the sale will only be deemed final once payment has been confirmed.
In accordance with Article L321-14: In the event of non-payment by the successful bidder, following a
formal notice to pay which has remained unheeded, the item shall be put up for sale again at the seller’s request through a repeat auction; if the seller does not make such a request within three months of the auction, the sale shall be automatically rescinded, without prejudice to any damages owed by the defaulting successful bidder. The successful bidder may not rely on the cancellation of the sale to evade their obligations.
In the event of non-payment of the hammer price and costs, a formal notice will be sent to the purchaser by registered post with acknowledgement of receipt. Upon the expiry of a one-month period following this formal notice and in the event of non-payment of the sum due, an additional fee of 10 per cent of the hammer price, subject to a minimum of €250, shall be charged to the purchaser to cover recovery costs. The application of this clause does not preclude the award of damages and costs of any necessary proceedings, nor does it prejudice the possible implementation of a repeat auction procedure.
Combating money laundering and terrorist financing In accordance with Article L. 561-2, 14o of the Monetary and Financial Code, the obligations relating to the prevention of money laundering and the financing of terrorism apply to SARL ORNE ENCHERES and/or SELARL BIGET NOWAKOWSKI ANTOINE in its capacity asauction operator for voluntary and/or judicial sales when they carry out a transaction or a series of linked transactions totalling 10,000 euros or more. The successful bidder or their principal undertakes to provide, of their own accord and in good faith, all documents necessary to establish their identity. They undertake, at the first request of SARL ORNE ENCHERES and/or SELARL BIGET NOWAKOWSKI ANTOINE – which need not be justified – to answer any questions put to them and to provide all documents and supporting evidence requested by them, in particular to substantiate the source of the funds. Depending on the circumstances, SARL ORNE ENCHERES and/or SELARL BIGET NOWAKOWSKI ANTOINE may be subject to enhanced due diligence obligations, in which case the successful bidder or their principal undertakes to answer any questions enabling SARL ORNE ENCHERES and/or SELARL BIGET NOWAKOWSKI ANTOINE to comply with their legal obligations.
