Sale conditions

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AUCTION - PIASA

"Public auctions are sales which involve the participation of a third party, acting as agent of the owner or his representative, to offer and sell an item of property to the highest bidder at the end of a
process of competitive bidding that is open to the public and transparent. The highest bidder acquires the sold item for his own benefit; he is bound to pay the price. Except where specially provided otherwise or for sales made within a purely private circle, these sales are open to any person able to bid and no restriction may be made on the freedom of bidding." (Article L 320-2 of the Commercial Code) »
The Maison de Ventes (Auction House) PIASA is a public auction operator governed by the provisions of Articles L 321-1 et seq. of the Commercial Code.
The Auction House acts as agent of the seller who enters into contract with the buyer.
The auctions are subject to these general terms and conditions.

PRIOR TO THE SALE
Description and presentation of the lots
Potential buyers are invited to examine the items that may interest them and to observe their condition prior to the auction, including in particular during exhibitions.

PIASA remains at their disposal to provide reports on the condition of the lots, according to artistic and scientific knowledge at the date of the auction. Condition reports are available free of charge, upon request, to assist the prospective buyer in evaluating the condition of a lot.

The absence of a reservation in the catalog doesn't imply that the lot is perfectly conserved and free of restorations or imperfections (wear and tear, cracks, lining). The lots are sold in the condition in which they are at the time of the sale. Consequently, no claim will be admissible as of the time of the adjudication, as the lots were available for examination at the exhibition.

The dimensions and weights are given for information only. Colors and shades may vary on paper or on screen from their presentation during a physical examination.

Estimates
In the catalog, appraisal appears after each lot. This is only an indication, the hammer price shall result from free bidding. Estimates may be given in several currencies. The rounding of these conversions may lead to a slight difference compared to laws on rounding.

The low estimate mentioned in the catalog cannot be lower than the reserve price, and can be modified until the moment of the sale.

Estimates don't include any applicable taxes and commissions.

Provenance and authenticity
In the framework of the protection of items of cultural property, PIASA makes all effort within its means to verify the origin of the auctioned lots. In the event of dispute, notably as to the authenticity or origin of the sold items, PIASA, bound by a best efforts obligation, shall only be liable under the express condition of demonstration that it has committed a proven personal wrong.

Special indications

For an individual, registration requires photo identification and proof of address if the current address is not on the identification.
For a company, registration requires a certificate of registration less than three months old indicating the name of the legal representative and the registered office.

Piasa reserves the right not to register a client for sale if the employees consider that this client does not bring all the guarantees for the security of the transaction. Any false information concerning the bidder's identity will give rise to his or her liability.

PIASA will act on behalf of the bidder, in accordance with the instructions contained on the purchase order form, and in his or her best interests. The limits in euros indicated on the purchase order correspond to the hammer price and do not include taxes and commissions payable by the buyer. If two purchase orders are identical, priority will go to the first order received.

5. Mandate on behalf of a third party

EXPORTS
The export out of France or the import into another country of a lot may be affected by the laws of the country in which it is exported, or imported. The export of any lot from France or the import into another country may be subject to one or more export or import authorisations. Local laws may prevent the buyer from importing a lot or may prevent him selling a lot in the country the buyer import it into.

The export of certain items to a country of the European Union requires an export certificate issued by the competent departments of the Ministry of Culture within a maximum period of 4 months following the application.

The international regulations of 3 March 1973, known as the Washington Convention (Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species, CITES), have the effect of protecting specimens and species threatened with extinction. The export or import of any lot made of or containing any part (whatever the percentage) of ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whalebone, certain species of coral, rosewood etc. may be restricted or prohibited.

The new Commission Regulation (EU) 2021/2280 of December 16, 2021 prohibits the export outside the European Union of any lot containing a worked ivory component, with the exception of pre-1975 musical instruments.

It is the buyer's sole responsibility to take advice and meeting the requirements of any laws or regulations which apply to exporting or importing any lot, prior to bidding. In some cases, the lot concerned may only be shipped along with an independent scientific confirmation of species and/or age of the specimen concerned, which will be issued at the expense of the buyer.

PIASA can, on request, assist the buyer in obtaining the required licenses and independent scientific confirmation. This proceeding will be carried out at the buyer's expense. However, PIASA cannot guarantee that the buyer will get the appropriate license.

In the event of refusal of the license or delay in obtaining one, the buyer remains liable for the entire purchase price of the lot. Such a refusal or delay shall not allow for late payment or cancellation of the sale.

Transportation of the lots shall be made at the expense and entirely under the responsibility of the winning bidder. The sale is made for payment with immediate value and in euros.

GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
All of the provisions of the terms and conditions of auction are independent of one another. The nullity of any one of the terms and conditions cannot cause any of the other terms and conditions of auction to be inapplicable.

These terms and conditions of auction are drafted in French and governed by French law.
Any dispute concerning the interpretation or application of these General Terms and Conditions of Auction shall be brought before the competent French courts of the judicial district in which the registered offices of PIASA are located.

PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION
Customers of PIASA have a right of access and rectification of personally identifiable data provided to PIASA, as provided for in the Law on Computing and Civil Liberties of 6 January 1978, amended by the Law of 6 August 2004.
