3. DUTIES OF THE BIDDER AND TOMIKAI IN RESPECT OF ITEMS FOR SALE

3.1. TOMIKAI's knowledge in relation to each Lot is limited, and is largely dependent on information provided to it by the Seller. TOMIKAI is not able to and does not carry out exhaustive due diligence on each Lot. Bidders agree, acknowledge, and accept these facts, and further accept responsibility for carrying out their own investigations to satisfy themselves as to the Lots in which they may be interested.

3.2. Bidders acknowledge that many Lots are of an age and type which means that they are not in perfect condition. All Lots are offered for sale in the condition they are in at the time of the sale in the relevant Auction, without any representation, warranty, and/or assumption of liability of any kind as to their condition by TOMIKAI. Any reference to the condition of a Lot by TOMIKAI will not amount to a full description of its condition, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a Lot does not imply that the Lot is free from faults or imperfections. The images of any Lot provided by TOMIKAI may not accurately reflect the actual condition of the Lot. In particular, the images may represent colours and shades which are different to the Lot's actual colour and shades. None of TOMIKAI's representations, warranties, descriptions, and/or statements as to a Lot shall be an alternative to you taking your own professional advice regarding the condition of the Lot.


4. BIDDING IN AN AUCTION

4.1. Connectivity and Technical Issues:

(a) Technical problems beyond TOMIKAI's reasonable control (including internet, firewall, website, and connectivity issues) may create difficulties including for accessing the Auction and maintaining continuity of such access.

(b) TOMIKAI shall not be responsible to you for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the internet and does not accept any liability in connection with this activity.

4.2. TOMIKAI's Discretion in relation to Bidding / Purchasing:

(a) TOMIKAI reserves the right in its absolute discretion at any time:-

(i) to impose conditions upon your access to any Auction including the requirement for your disclosure of your personal particulars as well as the imposition of limitations on your bids;
(ii) to reject and/or deny your access to any Auction;

(iii) to reject, revoke, and/or refuse to accept any bid, and/or to cancel any bid even if it has been previously accepted;

(iv) to withdraw any Lot or cancel the Auction whether prior to or during the Auction and TOMIKAI shall have no liability whatsoever in connection with such withdrawal or cancellation;

(v) to divide or combine any Lots; and

(vi) in the case of error or dispute, to continue the bidding, determine the successful Buyer, cancel the sale of the Lot, or re-offer and re-sell any Lot. If any dispute relating to bidding arises during and/or after the sale, TOMIKAI's decision in the exercise of this option is final and TOMIKAI accepts no liability for any loss and/or damage in connection and/or arising out of this regard.


4.3. Bidding Process:

(a) Bidding opens at a specified amount and escalates in bid increments which shall be subject to TOMIKAI's sole discretion;

(b) If a bid is successfully submitted on a Lot in an Auction from a Bidder's account, computer, and/or mobile device, the Bidder irrevocably agrees to pay the amounts identified in Clause 5.2 below, in full;


(c) TOMIKAI is not responsible for any errors that the Bidder makes in bidding on a Lot;

(d) Unless TOMIKAI decides to exercise its discretion in accordance with Clause 4.2 above, the Bidder with the highest bid when the Lot closes (i.e. the Hammer Price) shall be the successful Buyer. This means that a contract for sale has been formed between TOMIKAI and the Buyer when the Lot closes.

5. THE BUYER'S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS

5.1. If you are a successful Buyer of a Lot:-

(a) you will receive from TOMIKAI a purchase invoice for its Purchase Price as soon as reasonably practical; and

(b) you agree to provide to TOMIKAI, if so requested, sufficient proof of identity to TOMIKAI's satisfaction.


5.2. If you are a successful Buyer of a Lot, you shall be issued a purchase invoice and shall pay the Purchase Price, which is the total of the following amounts:-

(a) the Hammer Price;

(b) the Buyer's Premium.

(c) applicable taxes (including the prevailing Goods and Services Tax under the law of the Janpan) as well as any other applicable charges, fees, and taxes.

5.3. All payments due to TOMIKAI shall be made in Japanese Yen.

5.4. For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer of a Lot is solely responsible for the payment of any tax (including sales tax, value added tax, goods and services tax, or any other similar tax) payable as a result of the sale of a Lot.


5.5. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, payment of the total amount specified in the purchase invoice for a Lot is due immediately following receipt of TOMIKAI's invoice for the relevant purchased Lot and in no event no later than five (5) working days after receipt of the purchase invoice (the "Due Date").

5.8. Title in a purchased Lot will not pass until TOMIKAI has received the total amounts due for that Lot in accordance with Clause 5.2 above in cleared funds. TOMIKAI is not obliged to release a Lot to the Buyer until title in the Lot has passed and appropriate identification has been provided. Any earlier release of the Lot does not affect the passing of title or the Buyer's unconditional obligation to pay the total amounts due for that Lot un accordance with Clause 5.2 above.

5.9. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, risk in and responsibility for the purchased Lot will transfer to the Buyer from whichever is the earlier of the following:-

(b) if the Buyer collects the Lot in person, when the Buyer collects the Lot.


5.10. If the Buyer fails to pay TOMIKAI the total amounts due for the purchased Lot(s) in accordance with Clause 5.2 above in full by the Due Date, TOMIKAI shall be entitled to exercise any of the remedies identified in Clause 6 below.

6. REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT

6.1. If the Buyer without prior agreement fails to make payment for the Lot by the Due Date, TOMIKAI may in its sole discretion exercise one or more of the following remedies:-


(a) store the Lot at its premises or elsewhere at the Buyer's sole risk and expense;
(b) cancel the sale of the Lot;
(c) set off any amounts owed to the Buyer by TOMIKAI against any amounts owed to TOMIKAI by the Buyer in respect of the Lot;
(d) apply any payments made by the Buyer to TOMIKAI as part of the amounts due pursuant to Clause 5.2 above towards that or any other Lot purchased by the Buyer, or to any shortfall on the resale of any Lot pursuant to Clause 6.1(i) below, or to any damages suffered by TOMIKAI as a result of breach of contract by the Buyer;

(g) charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.5% per month from the Due Date to the date of full payment of all sums due from the Buyer to TOMIKAI;
(h) exercise a lien over any of the Buyer's property which is in possession of TOMIKAI. TOMIKAI shall inform the Buyer of the exercise of any such lien and within fourteen (14) days of such notice may arrange the sale of such property and apply the proceeds to the amount owed to TOMIKAI;
(i) resell the Lot by Auction or private sale. In the event that the price obtained for the Lot at resale is less than the Purchase Price for that Lot, the Buyer will remain liable for the shortfall together with all costs incurred in such resale; and/or
(j) commence legal proceedings to recover the Purchase Price together with interest and the costs of such proceedings on a full indemnity basis.
