Special conditions:
Warranties: Items are sold as is. The description of a lot as set out in the catalogue or given verbally constitutes merely the Auctioneer’s perception of the lot and shall not be deemed proof of any fact. Dimensions and weights are given for guidance only, as are details regarding any restoration or defects. The absence of any mention of restoration or defects does not guarantee that the item is free from them. Conversely, the mention of certain defects does not imply the absence of any other defects. The published reproductions of the lots are as faithful as possible to the actual items but have no greater contractual value than the description provided in the catalogue; the proportions of the objects may not be accurately represented, and differences in colour or shade are possible. A pre-auction viewing allows buyers to assess the condition of the items offered for sale; no claims will be accepted once the lot has been awarded, even on the basis of the published photographs. In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, any use of Artificial Intelligence in the modification or generation of photographs or sales visuals will be indicated where applicable. Delivery of purchased lots: Lots will only be delivered once the full price, fees and taxes have been paid. In the event of payment by uncertified cheque or bank transfer, delivery of the items will be deferred until the funds have been definitively cleared.

DOUTREBENTE & ASSOCIES accepts no liability for any damage the purchased item may sustain, with effect from the moment the bid is declared successful. Re-auction: In the event of non-payment by the successful bidder, following a formal notice that has remained unheeded, the seller may, within one month of the sale, choose either to put the item up for resale by re-auctioning it to the defaulting successful bidder, or to have the sale automatically rescinded. In the event of a resale, the defaulting successful bidder shall be required to pay the difference between the price at which they were declared the successful bidder and the final price obtained at the resale. In all cases, the defaulting successful bidder may be liable for damages. Maître Doutrebente reserves the right to set off any amounts due against sums owed by the defaulting successful bidder. Purchase orders and telephone bids: Purchase orders will only be considered if confirmed in writing (using the form at the end of the catalogue), accompanied by a photocopy of the bidder’s identity document and details of a means of payment, and received at least 24 hours before the start of the sale.
