Applicability

1.1

The general terms and conditions apply to all auctions of Medusa Auctioneers. Unless expressly stated otherwise.

1.2

Deviations from the General Terms and Conditions are only possible if agreed in writing.

1.3

The applicability of the auction terms and conditions will be made known via our website, but are also available for inspection at our offices. The terms and conditions for submission are attached to our collection form, a copy of which remains with the sender. When registering for participation in an auction, you must accept the terms and conditions of purchase.

1.4

The applicability of these conditions is exclusively governed by Dutch law.



Duty of investigation and information

2.1

A Lot is sold "as is". This means that a Lot is sold in the condition it is in on the auction day at the time of the Auction. The descriptions in the auction catalog are made to the best of our knowledge and ability and to the current state of knowledge. Photographs may be part of the description. However, no rights can be derived from photographs and/or descriptions.

2.2

Before the auction, the Buyer will be given the opportunity to inspect the Lot carefully and extensively (or to have it inspected) in order to form his own opinion about the Lot's characteristics. Statements in the catalog about the condition of the Lot cannot be exhaustive. While no rights can be derived from the absence of a description of the condition in the catalog. The Aspiring Buyer has the possibility to request a so-called Condition Report or additional photos. The Auction House is not obliged to provide these, because this is sometimes not possible due to a lack of specific knowledge or time. The weighing and judging of the condition information provided by the Auction House is ultimately up to the Purchaser.

2.3

Disclaimer: In a Condition Report, the Auction House gives its opinion on the condition of a lot. Condition reports are drawn up to the best of the Auction House's knowledge and ability. The Auction House staff are not professional conservators, but merely report on their observations. A Condition Report cannot take the place of the buyer's own duty of investigation. No rights can therefore be derived from a Condition Report. The auction house is not obliged to provide a Condition Report. Additional photos will be made upon request and sent digitally. No rights can be derived from these photos either. They do not relieve the prospective buyer of his duty to investigate.

The Aspirant Buyer may bid in person. This can be done in the auction room, but also Live Online by creating an account on our platform, or through external platforms facilitated by the auction house.

3.4

A written bid must be submitted four hours prior to the auction. Subsequent bids cannot be included in the auction.
