2. Bidding procedures and the Buyer
2.1. You must register your details with us before bidding and provide us with any requested proof of identity and billing information, in a form acceptable to us. We reserve the right, where we deem we are so required for regulatory purposes, to reveal your identity and contact details (and those of your Principal) to the Seller.
2.2. We strongly recommend that you attend the auction in person if possible. You are responsible for your decision to bid for a particular Lot. If you bid on a Lot, including by telephone and online bidding, or by placing a commission bid, we assume that you have carefully inspected the Lot and satisfied yourself regarding its condition.
2.3. If you instruct us in writing, we may execute absentee bids on your behalf. Neither we nor our employees or agents will be responsible for any failure to execute your absentee bid, unless our failure to do so is unreasonable. Where two or more absentee bids are recorded at the same level, we have the right to prefer the first bid made (where this can be reasonably ascertained).
2.4 There are a limited number of telephone lines available. A telephone bidder must expect to bid at the low estimate. Young’s Auctions cannot be held liable if we are unable to contact you on the given telephone number(s), and a backup bid has not been left.
2.5. The Bidder placing the highest bid for a Lot accepted by the Auctioneer will be the Buyer at the Hammer Price. However, the Auctioneer shall retain discretion on the running of the auction and in particular, retains the right not to accept a bid and to prefer a bid over any other bids received at the same time. Any dispute about a bid will be settled at our discretion. We may reoffer the Lot during the auction or may settle the dispute in another way. We will act reasonably when deciding how to settle the dispute.
2.6. Bidders will be deemed to act as principals (in other words, acting for their own account and not on behalf of someone else), even if the Bidder is acting as an agent for a third party.
2.7. We may bid on Lots on behalf of the Seller up to one bid below the Reserve.
2.8. We may refuse to accept any bid if it is reasonable for us to do so.
2.9. Bidding increments will be at our sole discretion (but will be in line with standard auction practice).
2.10. In the event you participate in the auction using the services of an Independent Bidding Platform, you will incur an additional fee or additional commission payable to that platform. This will be collected by us as part of the Total Amount Due in the event you are the Buyer of the Lot on which you bid.

11. Descriptions, condition and safety
11.1. Care is taken to ensure that descriptions as to authorship, attribution, origin, date, age, provenance and condition are reliable and accurate, but all such descriptions are statements of opinion and are not to be taken as statements or representations of fact. No allowance whatsoever will be made for errors in description, authenticity or quality. Purchasers must satisfy themselves as to the conditions of a Lot prior to the sale and check any information for themselves.
11.2. We will give the opportunity to view and inspect the Lots before the auction. You (and any independent consultants acting on your behalf) must satisfy yourself about the accuracy of any description of a Lot. We shall not be responsible for any failure by you or your consultants to properly inspect a Lot. The actual colour of the Lot may vary from the images in the auction catalogue.
11.2.1 Condition reports are an expression of opinion, rather than a statement of fact. They are for guidance only and we accept no responsibility for their accuracy.
11.3. Please note that many of the Lots that you may bid on at our auction are second-hand and are unlikely to be in perfect condition. Lots are sold “as is” (i.e. as you see them at the time of the auction). Neither we nor the Seller accept any liability for the condition of second-hand Lots, for their fitness for purpose, or for any condition issues affecting a Lot if such issues are included in the description of a Lot in the auction catalogue (or in any saleroom notice) and/or which the inspection of a Lot by the Buyer ought to have revealed. Items without any specified damage in the description cannot be assumed to be in perfect condition.
11.4. We act as agents only. Each Prospective Buyer by making a bid for a Lot acknowledges that they have satisfied themselves fully as to the attribution and condition of the Lot.
11.5 Lots purchased are, therefore, not subject to return, unless as stated in Clause 12.
12. Deliberate Forgeries
12.1. You may return any Lot which you consider with some cause to be a Deliberate Forgery to us within three months of the auction, provided that you return the Lot to us in the same condition as when it was released to you, accompanied by a written statement identifying the Lot from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects.
12.1. If we are satisfied, acting reasonably, that the Lot is a Deliberate Forgery and it has been returned to us within the time specified in Clause 12.1, we will refund the money paid by you for the Lot (including any Premium and applicable VAT) PROVIDED THAT you will have no right to a refund under this Clause 12.2 if:
12.2.1. the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of experts as at the date of the auction; or
12.2.2. you personally are not able to transfer good and marketable title in the Lot to us.
12.3. If you have sold the Lot to another person, we will only be liable to refund the price that you paid for the Lot. We will not be responsible for repaying any additional money you may have made from selling the Lot. The rights under this Clause 12 are given to you as Buyer in our auction; they are not given to, and may not be transferred or assigned to, any third party.
12.4. Your right to return a Lot that is a Deliberate Forgery does not affect your legal rights and is in addition to any other right or remedy provided by law or by these Terms of Sale.

Copies of customer due diligence checks will be stored for as long as it is necessary to satisfy legal requirements in an appropriate storage facility, which for the avoidance of doubt may include storage solely in electronic form.
