PARTICIPATION IN THE AUCTION IN PERSON OR REMOTELY IMPLIES ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

In addition to the auction price, buyers will pay a fee of 27.6% including VAT plus any platform fees. 1.80% including VAT via Drouot or Interenchères for online sales and 3.60% including VAT for live sales, an additional commission which will be paid in full to the platforms (see paragraph: Auctions via Drouot Digital or Invaluable).

GUARANTEES

In accordance with French law, the information provided in the catalogue is the responsibility of SAS Martin-Banel, taking into account any corrections announced at the time of presentation of the item and recorded in the sale minutes.

Descriptions are based on current knowledge.

The order of the catalogue may be changed.

A preview exhibition allows buyers to assess the condition of the items offered for sale. However, the photos in the catalogue are equivalent to an exhibition. No claims will be accepted once the auction has been declared. The reproductions of the works in the catalogue are as accurate as possible, but differences in colour or tone are possible. Dimensions are given for information purposes only.

References made in the catalogue description or in the report concerning the condition of the lot, relating to an accident or restoration, are made to facilitate inspection and remain subject to the assessment that should result from a personal examination by the purchaser or their competent representative.

The absence of such a reference in the catalogue does not imply that an item is free from any defect or restoration; Furthermore, a reference to a particular defect does not imply the absence of all other defects.

The absence of any indication of restoration or accident does not imply that a piece of jewellery is free from defects. It is specified that the origin of the stones and their quality (colour and purity of diamonds) reflect the opinion of the laboratory issuing the certificate. No claims will be accepted if another laboratory issues a different opinion, and the auctioneer cannot be held liable.

With regard to the legislation and description of precious stones, please refer to Decree No. 2002-65 of 14 January 2002 on the trade in gemstones and pearls.

The French text is the official text that will be used in the event of a dispute.

Descriptions in other languages are provided for information purposes only.

The condition of the works is not specified in the catalogue, so buyers are required to request additional photos, videos and/or condition reports in order to make their own assessment.

No claims will be accepted regarding any restoration work or accidents once the auction has been declared closed. Condition reports requested from the auction house prior to the sale are provided for information purposes only, where possible. They do not engage the responsibility of the auction house and cannot be used as grounds for legal claims.

Liquid contents are not guaranteed, and paintings are deemed to be sold without their frames, the condition of which is therefore not guaranteed.

AUCTIONS

The highest and last bidder will be the successful bidder.

In the event of a double bid recognised as valid by the auctioneer, the lot will be put back up for sale, and all bidders present may participate in this second auction. In the event of a dispute, the authorised auctioneer reserves the right to award the lot, put it back up for sale or cancel its presentation.

By placing a bid, bidders assume personal responsibility for paying the hammer price immediately, plus any fees payable by the buyer and any applicable taxes or duties. Unless there is a prior written agreement with the auction house

stating that the bidder is acting as an agent for a third party identified and approved by the auction house, the bidder is deemed to be acting on their own behalf. We remind our sellers that it is prohibited to bid directly on lots belonging to them.

Important: The normal way to bid is to be present in the auction room.

The option to bid live is a service and differs from online sales.

The information collected on the registration forms is mandatory in order to participate in the sale and for the bid to be taken into account and managed.

You may access and correct your personal data, or object to its further processing on legitimate grounds, by sending a written request accompanied by a copy of your identity document to the auction operator by post or email.

The voluntary sales operator is a member of the Central Register for the Prevention of Unpaid Debts of Auctioneers, with which payment incidents may be registered.

The rights of access, rectification and opposition on legitimate grounds are to be exercised by the debtor concerned at Symev, 15 rue Freycinet 75016 Paris.

The sale is deemed final once the auction has been declared and it is not possible to withdraw.

Purchasers are informed that the State may exercise a right of pre-emption on the works and has a right of withdrawal after a period of examination. Thus, the purchaser may be confirmed after a period without the right of withdrawal.

‘The State, at the request and on behalf of a local authority, a group of local authorities or a local public institution, exercises the right of pre-emption with regard to cultural property under the conditions set out in Chapter III of Title II of Book I of the Heritage Code.’

TELEPHONE BIDS: We accept telephone bids from potential buyers who have registered before the sale, within the limits of the lines available. We cannot be held liable if the telephone connection is not established, is established late, or in the event of an error or omission relating to the receipt of telephone bids.

PURCHASE ORDER: We accept bidding orders that have been submitted subject to a deposit, the amount of which is determined by the auction house. We cannot be held liable in the event of an error or omission in the written order.

In the event of purchase orders for a similar amount on the same lot, the auction house will take into account the first order submitted.

BIDDING VIA DROUOT DIGITAL OR OTHER LIVE PLATFORMS

Online bidding is available. Bids are placed on the drouot.com and/or Interenchères websites, which are technical platforms enabling remote electronic participation in auctions. It is necessary to register in advance and ensure that the registration is validated.

A bidding ceiling may be announced depending on sales. A deposit must be paid in advance in order to bid freely during the sale. Buyers using the Drouot Digital platform (or any other platform offered for live purchases) are informed that the fees charged by these platforms will be their sole responsibility. As a guide, for Drouot Digital or Interenchères, a commission of 1.80% including VAT (1.5% excluding VAT and VAT) for live sales and 3% excluding VAT (3.60% including VAT) for online sales; for Invaluable, a commission of 6% including VAT (5% excluding VAT and 1% VAT). Martin-Banel cannot be held responsible for any interruption of service or delay in live transmission during a sale, or any other malfunction that prevents a buyer from bidding via a technical platform offering the live service. The interruption of a Live auction service during a sale does not necessarily justify the auctioneer stopping the auction.

We therefore invite bidders to leave purchase orders until the day before the sale, leaving a deposit.
