Conditions of Sale

CONDITIONS OF SALE
SAS AGUTTES ("AGUTTES") is an operator of voluntary public auctions, declared
to the Voluntary Sales Board and governed by Articles L.321-4 et seq. of the
French Commercial Code. In this capacity AGUTTES acts as agent of the seller
who contracts with the auction winner.
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale ("GTC") govern the relationship
between AGUTTES and bidders for public auctions and negotiated sales organised
by AGUTTES.
AGUTTES may modify the GTC in writing and/or orally prior to the sale.
I- THE PROPERTY OFFERED FOR SALE
Description of lots: The indications given in the catalogue are the responsibility
of AGUTTES and its expert, subject to the provisions mentioned below. Only indications
in French are binding on AGUTTES to the exclusion of translations,
which are free. They may be modified or corrected until the time of the sale in
writing or orally. These modifications shall be recorded in the report of the sale,
which shall have probative force.
No other guarantee is given by AGUTTES, it being recalled that only the seller shall
be bound by the guarantee against hidden defects and the legal guarantee of
conformity. A certificate of authenticity of the lot will only be available if mentioned
in the description of the lot.
The dimensions, weights and other information of the lots are given as an indication
with a reasonable margin of error.
Restorations carried out as a precautionary measure, not altering the age and
style characteristics, and not making any change to the specific nature of the lot,
will not be mentioned in the description.
The absence of any indication of restoration, accident or incident in the catalogue
or condition reports shall in no way imply that the lot is free from any defect
present, past or repaired. Conversely, the mention of any defect does not imply
the absence of other defects.
The particular information in the catalogue has the following meanings:
+ Lots forming part of a court-ordered sale following an order of the Court of
Justice, fees and expenses: 14.40% incl. tax;
° Lots, in which AGUTTES or one of its partners has financial interests;
* Temporary import lots: subject to a fee of 5.5% fee for works of art, collectibles
and antiques (20% for wines and spirits, jewelry and multiples),), to be borne
by the buyer in addition to the selling costs and the auction price, unless the
buyer is outside the EU;
¤ Goods sold under the general VAT regime (for the total);
# Lots visible only by appointment;
~ Lots made from materials from animal species. Import restrictions are to be
provided for.
Condition of lots: The lots are sold in the condition in which they are found at
the time of sale with their imperfections and defects. Since lots are second-hand
goods, no guarantee can be given on the condition thereof.
References to the condition of a lot in a catalogue or condition report may not be
considered as an exhaustive description of the condition of said lot. Descriptions may
not under any circumstances replace the personal examination of the lot as indicated
below. Condition reports will be sent upon request and for information purposes.
Lot exposure: Potential bidders are required to personally examine the lots at
a private meeting prior to sale in order to check the condition of the lot. Buyers
are advised to be accompanied by an expert in the field concerned by the sale.
Reproduction of lots: Not all defects and imperfections of the batches are visible
on the photographs of the batches reproduced in the catalogues, online or
on any communication medium. Photographs may not give a fully faithful image
of the actual condition of a lot and may differ from what a direct observer will
receive (size, colour, etc.).

Estimates: The estimates are based on the state of technical knowledge on the
day of the estimate, the quality of the lot, its origin, condition and the market price
on the day of the estimate. They are provided for information purposes only and
cannot be considered as a guarantee that the lot will be sold at the estimated price.
II- THE SALE
Registration for sale: Important: the normal and priority method to bid is to be
present in the sales room. As a service, other modes are possible that require
prior registration:
- By telephone: AGUTTES accepts, free of charge, to receive bids by telephone
only for bidders who reported before 6 p.m., on the last business day before the
sale. The potential bidder must have received a prior confirmation email from
AGUTTES to be called.
- By purchase order: Any person previously registered and wishing to bid will have
the option to request the registration of purchase orders from AGUTTES on their
behalf. The order must have been communicated in writing before 6 p.m. on the
last business day before the sale, and the bidder must have received a confirmation
email from AGUTTES to be called. No unlimited order will be accepted. If
AGUTTES receives multiple purchase orders for identical auction amounts, the
oldest order will be selected.
- Online via Live platforms: The possibility of online auctions is offered on platforms
allowing remote participation in auctions electronically, upon prior registration.
The purchaser via the Live platforms is informed that the fees charged by these
platforms will be borne exclusively by it.
Participation in the auction by telephone, internet or order is carried out at the
risk and peril of the bidder, AGUTTES cannot be held liable in the event of nonparticipation
of the auction bidder for any reason whatsoever, particularly in the
event of malfunction or failure to perform (no response from the bidder, error,
interruption or omission in the reception of bids). Any malfunction or interruption
of the telephone or live service will not prevent the auctioneer from continuing
the auction, at his discretion.
Procedure for identifying bidders: AGUTTES reserves the right to ask any
potential bidder to prove its identity and for a legal entity, a Kbis extract less
than three months old, it being specified that only the legal representative of the
company or any duly authorised person may bid for and its bank details. In the
event of non-compliance with the identification procedures, AGUTTES reserves
the right to refuse its registration for the auction. All lots sold will be invoiced in
the name and address of the client. No subsequent modification may be made.
The bidder is deemed to act in its own name and will be solely responsible for the
auction brought unless it is informed beforehand of its capacity as agent under
the conditions indicated below.
Any false indication shall incur the liability of the auction winner.
Mandate by a third party: The bidder with a mandate must inform AGUTTES
during the identification and registration procedure and produce a copy of the
mandate and any other documents requested by AGUTTES. In such a case, the
bidder and the principal shall be jointly and severally liable.
Sales management: The auctioneer manages the sale on a discretionary basis,
ensuring the freedom and equality between all bidders, while respecting the
practices established by the profession. The auctioneer ensures the police of the
sale, which allows him to refuse bids or to withdraw a lot without having to justify it.
Awarding: The highest and the last bidder will be the auction winner, with all
accepted means combined (order, internet, telephone, on-site, etc.). The awarding
is evidenced by the pronouncement of the word "Sold", which forms the sale
agreement between the seller and the auction winner.
Each lot is identified with a number corresponding to the number assigned to it
in the sales catalogue.
It is forbidden for sellers to bid directly on the lots belonging to them.
In the event of a simultaneous "double-auction" recognised by the auctioneer,
the lot will be put back for sale, with all bidders present being able to participate
in this second auction.

Withdrawal: Each auction and bid is final and is binding on the auction winner,
it being recalled that the auction winner may not withdraw either in the room, by
telephone, online or on a purchase order.
Transfer of risk and ownership: The transfer of ownership and risks between
the seller and the auction winner takes place by the word "sold" by AGUTTES.
AGUTTES disclaims all liability for losses and damages that the lots may suffer from
the date of the award, with the auction winner having to insure the lots acquired
as soon as the award is awarded.
III- COMPLETION OF THE SALE
Sale commission: In addition to the auction price, the auction winner shall
pay the buyer's fees, per lot, calculated as follows:
- 25% excl. tax + VAT at the rate in force, i.e. 30% including tax on the
first €150,000
- 23 % excl. tax + VAT at the rate in force, i.e. 27,6 % including taxe for
amounts over € 150,001.
Exception: For books only benefiting from a reduced VAT rate: 25% before
tax, i.e. 26.37% including VAT.
In addition to the auction price and the buyer's fees, the auction winner must pay
all taxes and duties including VAT as well as any file, handling, and storage costs.
Payment of the sums due must be made "in cash" by the auction winner, as soon
as the award is made. Payment is made in euros. Any bank commissions will not
be deducted from the amounts due.
VAT: The VAT rate is 20% (or 5.5% for books). In principle, unmarked lots will
be sold under the VAT on gross margin system. The purchase commission and
additionnal costs will be increased by an amount in lieu of VAT, which will not be
separately mentioned in our slips.
By way of exception, and at the request of the seller, the general VAT system may
be applied for goods offered for sale by an EU professional at its request. These
goods will be marked by the ¤ sign.
Possible VAT refunds:
1- The professional of the European Union, (i) with an intra-Community VAT number
and (ii) providing proof of the export of lots from France to another Member State;
2- Non-residents of the European Union on the supply of (i) a customs export

payment of a prior provision;

AGUTTES is indeed a member of the Central Register of prevention of the unpaid
of the auctioneers with which the incidents of payment are likely to be registered.
The rights of access, rectification and opposition for legitimate reasons are to
be exercised by the debtor concerned at Symev 15 rue Freycinet 75016 Paris.
Lot collection and storage: A lot awarded may only be delivered to the buyer
after full payment of the purchase slip, collected in the AGUTTES bank account.

document proving his identity or to the third party appointed by him and to whom

The lot is collected at the auction winner's expense and risks only.
Lots that have not been collected the same day after the end of the sale will be

on the contact page at the beginning of the catalog. The place of delivery will be
indicated in the email accompanying the invoice.
The applicable storage fees are mentioned in the "Special Terms and Conditions"
below.
Resale of paid and non-collected lots: In the event that one or more lots awarded
and paid for in the course of an auction have still not been collected by the buyer
within the deadlines agreed upon the "Special Terms and Conditions" below and
that the applicable storage, custody and preservation costs exceed the auction
value of the lot(s), AGUTTES reserves the right to sell the lot(s) in order to be
reimbursed for all costs due.
IV- PRE-EMPTION RIGHT
The French State may exercise a pre-emptive right on any public or private sale
of cultural property. The State has a period of 15 days from the public sale to
confirm the exercise of its pre-emptive right and subrogate itself to the buyer.
V- EXPORT
The formalities of exports (requests for certificate for a cultural good, export
license) of the subjected lots are the responsibility of the purchaser and can
require a four months delay. AGUTTES is at the disposal of its buyers to guide
them in these steps.
AGUTTES cannot be held responsible for delays. Under no circumstances shall
AGUTTES be liable for the refusal or delay of the administrative decision. The
refusal to issue a certificate or a license may not under any circumstances justify
a failure or delay in payment by the buyer or a cancellation of the sale.

VI- APPLICABLE LAW AND COMPETENT COURT
Civil liability claims brought in connection with voluntary and judicial actions
and sales of furniture at public auction are time-barred after five years from the
award or takeover.
French law alone governs the GTC. Any dispute relating to their existence, validity,
performance and enforceability against any bidder having the capacity of trader
shall be decided by the Commercial Court of Nanterre (France).
In the event that the bidder or buyer is not a trader, this dispute shall be decided
by the competent Court pursuant to the legal provisions.
The Government Commissioner to the Council for voluntary sales of furniture by
public auction may be mandated in writing in case of any difficulty with a view to
reaching an amicable solution, if applicable.
VII- PERSONAL DATA
The bidders are informed that AGUTTES may collect and process data concerning
them in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation no. 2016/679 of 27
April 2016 (GDPR) and the French Data Protection Act no. 78-17 of 6 January 1978
amended by Law No. 2018-493 of 20 June 2018 on the protection of personal data.

postal address, email address, telephone number, bank details.
Bidders are informed that they have a right of access, rectification, erasure, portability,
opposition and limitation with regard to such data with AGUTTES. Requests
must be made in writing to: [email protected] Any complaint about the
applicable data protection legislation may be brought before the CNIL: www.cnil.fr.
VIII- INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
AGUTTES is the owner of any right of reproduction of its catalogue. Any reproduction
of the same is prohibited and constitutes an infringement. The sale of a
lot does not in any way imply the assignment of any intellectual property rights
applicable (representation and/or reproduction) to the work.
IX- SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1- Storage costs
The storage of goods subject to an auction or a private sale that are not removed
by the buyer within 15 days of the auction (including the day of the sale), will be
charged as follows:
- Jewellery and / or watches worth < €10.000 = €15 / day of storage

- Other lots < 1m3 = €3 / day
- Other lots > 1m3 = €5 / day.
2- Mechanical and electrical objects
The mechanical or electrical objects offered for sale by AGUTTES are exclusively
offered for decorative purposes. As they represent used property, AGUTTES does
not under any circumstances certify their operating condition. We recommend
that buyers come to see the lots during the public exposures with an expert in
this field, and to have the electrical or mechanical mechanism checked by a
professional before any start-up.
3- Watches and clocks
The watches and clocks we sell are all second-hand goods, having for the most
part undergone repairs resulting in the replacement of certain parts which may
not be original. AGUTTES does not give any guarantee on the authenticity and
the original character of the components of a clock article.
Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys and unless otherwise
stated, their presence is not guaranteed. Watch straps may not be original and
may not be authentic.
Collector's watches require general and regular maintenance: repairs or overhauls
may be necessary and are the responsibility of the buyer, as AGUTTES does not
give any guarantee on its good working order. AGUTTES recommends that buyers
have watches and clocks checked by a competent watchmaker before each use.
It is the responsibility of potential buyers to personally verify the condition of the item.
4- Furniture
Without express mention in the description of the lot, the presence of keys is
not guaranteed.
5- Protected plant and animal species
Objects partially or entirely made up of materials from endangered and/or protected
species of flora and fauna are marked by the symbol ~ in the catalogue.
The legislator imposes strict rules for the commercial use of these materials, in
particular with regard to ivory trade.
Buyers are informed that the importation of any goods made up of these materials
is prohibited by many countries, or require a permit or certificate issued by the
competent authorities of the countries of export and import of the goods. The
purchasers are fully responsible for the proper compliance with the regulatory
and legislative standards applicable to the export or importation of goods composed
in part or in full of materials originating from endangered and/or protected
species. Under no circumstances shall AGUTTES be liable for the impossibility
of exporting or importing such property, and this may not be used to justify a
request for cancellation of the sale.
If a customer feels that he or she has not received a satisfactory response, he
or she is advised to contact the head of the relevant department directly, as a
matter of priority. In the absence of a response within the specified time limit,

GUARANTEES

In accordance with the law, the information given in the catalogue is
the responsibility of SAS Claude AGUTTES and its expert, taking into
account the corrections announced at the time of the presentation of
the item in the sale report.
Attributions were made according to scientific and artistic knowledge
at the time of the auction.
The order of the catalog will be followed.
An exhibition prior to the sale permits buyers to establish the conditions of
the works offered for sale. However in this period of pandemie the photos
are worth exhibition, and no claims will be admitted once the award is
pronounced. The reproductions in the catalog of works are as faithful
as possible, a difference in color or tones is nevertheless possible. The
dimensions are only given as an indication.
The text in French is the official text which will be retained in case of
dispute. The descriptions in other languages and the indications of
dimensions in inches are given only as an indication and cannot be at
the origin of a complaint.

buyers are therefore obliged to ask for additional photos, videos and/
or condition reports. No claim will be accepted concerning possible
restorations or accidents once the auction has been pronounced.
The condition reports requested from SAS Claude Aguttes and the expert
before the sale are given for information only. They do not engage their
responsibilities and cannot be the cause of a legal claim. Under no
circumstances do they replace the personal examination of the work by
the buyer or his representative.
