Sales conditions - MODERN JEWELRY, SILVER, TABLES, Furniture and Works of Art
CONDITIONS OF SALE
PARTICIPATION IN THE SALE IN PERSON OR AT A DISTANCE IMPLIES THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE PRESENT CONDITIONS.
The sale will be made in cash and conducted in Euros.
The buyers will pay, in addition to the bids, a fee of 20% VAT excluded, that is 24% VAT included.
The buyers via live platforms will pay, in addition to the bids and the buyers' fees, an additional commission which will be entirely transferred to the platforms (see paragraph: Auctions via Drouot Digital or Invaluable).
On certain lots mentioned, the buyer may be charged for the right of resale fees, which are mentioned in the description of the lot or at the time of the sale and indicated in the minutes.
GUARANTEES
In accordance with French law, the information given in the catalog is the responsibility of SAS Martin-Banel, taking into account the corrections announced at the time of the presentation of the object and recorded in the sale report.
The descriptions are established taking into account current knowledge.
The order of the catalog may be modified.
A preliminary exhibition allows the buyers to see the condition of the goods offered for sale. However, the photos produced in the catalog are valid as an exhibition. No claims will be accepted once the auction is over. The reproductions in the catalog of the works are as faithful as possible, a difference in color or tone is nevertheless possible. The dimensions are given as an indication only.
References in the catalog description or condition report to accident or restoration are made to facilitate inspection and are subject to the personal examination of the buyer or his competent representative.
The absence of such a reference in the catalog does not imply that an item is free of all defects or restoration; nor does a reference to a particular defect imply the absence of all other defects. For example, wines and perfume bottles are sold in the state of use without any guarantee of the quality of the contents, some perfumes are sold with the original perfume, others without any guarantee.
The absence of any indication of restoration or accident does not imply that a piece of jewelry is free of defect - It is specified that the origin of the stones and the quality (color and purity of the diamonds) reflect the opinion of the laboratory that issues the certificate. No claim will be accepted if another laboratory issues a different opinion, and the auctioneer cannot be held responsible.
Concerning the legislation and description of gemstones we invite you to consult the Decree n°2002-65 of January 14, 2002 relating to the trade of gemstones and pearls.
The French text is the official text that will be used in case of litigation.
The descriptions in other languages are given as an indication.
. The state of conservation of the works is not specified in the catalog, buyers are therefore required to request additional photos, videos and / or condition reports to make their own judgment. No claims will be accepted regarding possible restorations or accidents after the auction. The condition reports requested from the auction house before the sale are given as an indication as far as possible. They do not engage the responsibility of the auction house and cannot be the basis for any legal claim.
AUCTIONS
The highest and last bidder will be the successful bidder.
In the event of a double bid recognized by the auctioneer, the lot will be put up for sale again, with all the amateurs present being able to bid for this second auction. The auctioneer reserves the right in case of dispute to award the lot, to put it back on sale or to cancel its presentation.
By placing a bid, the bidders assume personal responsibility for paying the hammer price immediately, plus any costs payable by the buyer and any taxes due. Unless there is a written agreement with the auction house, prior to the sale,
mentioning that the bidder is acting as a proxy for a third party identified and approved by the auction house, the bidder is deemed to be acting in his own name. We remind our sellers that it is forbidden to bid directly on lots belonging to them.
Important : The normal way to bid is to be present in the auction room.
The possibility to bid live is a service and different from online sales.
The sale is considered perfect once the adjudication is pronounced and it is not possible to retract.
TELEPHONE BIDDING: We accept telephone bids from potential buyers who have made themselves known before the sale within the limits of the available lines. We cannot be held responsible in particular if the telephone connection is not established, is established late, or in case of error or omission relating to the reception of bids by telephone.
PURCHASE ORDER : We accept the bidding orders that have been transmitted subject to a deposit whose amount is defined by the auction house. We are not responsible for any error or omission in the written order.

It is necessary to register beforehand and to ensure that the registration is validated.

The buyer via the Drouot Digital platform (or any other platform proposed for live purchases) is informed that the fees charged by these platforms
will be at his exclusive charge. As an indication, for Drouot Digital, a commission of 1.80% VAT incl. (fees 1.5% VAT excl. and VAT); for Invaluable, a commission of 6% VAT incl. (fees 5% VAT excl. and VAT 1%). Martin-Banel cannot be held responsible for the interruption of a Live service during the sale or for any
Martin-Banel cannot be held responsible for the interruption of a Live service during a sale or for any other malfunction that may prevent a buyer from bidding via a technical platform offering the Live service. The interruption of a Live auction service during the course of a sale does not necessarily justify the auction being stopped
by the auctioneer.
Therefore, we invite bidders to leave purchase orders until the day before the sale by leaving a deposit.
