2 SPINK CHINA’S ROLE AS AGENT
2.1 All sales undertaken by us either at auction or privately are undertaken either as agent on behalf of the Seller or from time to time, as principal if we are the owner of the Lot. Please note that even if we are acting as agent on behalf of the Seller rather than as principal, we may have afinancial interest in the Lot.
2.2 The contract for the sale of the Lot will be between you and the Seller.
3 BEFORE THE SALE
3.1 Examination of goodsYou are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which you are interested, before the auction takes place. Conditionreportsare usually available on request. We provide no guarantee to you other than in relation to Forgeries, as set out in clause 5.10 of these Terms andConditions.
3.2 Catalogue descriptions3.2.1 Statements by us in the catalogue or condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, regarding the authorship, origin, date, age, size,medium, attribution, genuineness, provenance, condition or estimated selling price of any Lot are merely statements of opinion, and are not to be relied on as statements of definitive fact. Catalogue illustrations are for guidance only, and should not be relied on either to determine thetone or colour of any item or to reveal imperfections. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this price is either the price at which the Lot will sell or its value for any other purpose.
3.2.2 Many items are of an age or nature which precludes their being in perfect condition and some descriptions in the catalogue or given by way of condition report make reference to damage and/or restoration. We provide this information for guidance only and the absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of anyothers.
3.2.3 Other than as set out in clause 5.8, and in the absence of fraud, neither the Seller nor we, nor any of our employees or agents, are responsiblefor the correctness of any statement as to the authorship, origin, date, age,
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR BUYERSThese conditions set out the terms on which we (Spink China Limited of9/F., Malaysian Consulate Building, 50 Gloucester Road, Hong Kong)contract with you (Buyer) either as agent on behalf of the Seller or as principal if we are the Seller. You should read these conditions carefully.
1 DEFINITIONS
The following definitions in this condition apply in these conditions.
Buyer’s Premium means the charge payable by you as a percentage of the Hammer Price, at the rates set out in clause 5.1 below;
Certificate of Authenticity means a certificate issued by an Expert Committee confirming the authenticity of a Lot;
Expert Committee means a committee of experts to whom a Lot may be sent for an extension in accordance with clause 3.4.3;
Forgery means a Lot constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture or source where the correct description as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue and which at the date of the auction had a value materially less than it would have had if it had been in accordance with the description in the catalogue. Accordingly, no Lot shall be capable of being a Forgery by reason of any damage and/or restoration work of any kind (including re-enamelling);
Hammer Price means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a Lot;
Lot means any item deposited with us for sale at auction and, in particular, the item or items described against any lot number in any catalogue;

3.3 Your ResponsibilityYou are responsible for satisfying yourself as to the condition of the goods and the matters referred to in the catalogue description.
3.4 Extensions – Stamps only
3.4.1 If you wish to obtain an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity on any Lot (other than a mixed lot or lot containing undescribed stamps) you must notify us in writing not less than forty-eight hours before the time fixed for the commencement of the first session of the auction. If accepted by us, such request shall have the same effect as notice of an intention to question the genuineness or description of theLot for the purposes of clause 5.8 of these Terms and Conditions and the provisions of clause 5.8 shall apply accordingly.
3.4.2 Notice of a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity must give the reason why such opinion is required and specify the identity of your proposed expert which will be subject to agreement by us. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to refuse a request for anexpert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity including (without limitation) where the proposed expert is not known to us.
3.4.3 If we accept a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity we will submit the Lot to the Expert Committee. You acknowledgeand accept that the length of time taken by an Expert Committee to reach an opinion will vary depending on the circumstances and in anyevent is beyond our control.
3.4.4 We will not normally accept a request for an extension on account of condition. Any Lot described in the catalogue as having faults or defects may not be returned even if an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity cites other faults or defects not included in the catalogue description, other than in the case of a Forgery.
3.4.5 Should Spink China Limited accept a request for an extension under the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the fact may be stated by the Auctioneer from the rostrum prior to the sale of the Lot.
3.4.6 It should be noted that any stamp accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity is sold on the basis of that Certificate only and not on the basis of any other description or warranty as to authenticity. No request for an extension will be accepted on such a stamp and the return of such astamp will not be accepted.
4 AT THE SALE
4.1 Refusal of admissionOur sales usually take place on our own premises or premises over which we have control for the sale, and we have the right, exercisable at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or attendance at an auction.
4.2 Registration before biddingYou must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before making a bid at auction. Please be aware that we usually require buyers to undergo a credit check. Some lots may be designated, prior to the auction, as “Premium lots”, which means a deposit may be required before placing a bid on the item for sale. Information will be posted on our website in such an event.
4.3 Bidding as PrincipalWhen making a bid (whether such bids are made in person or by way of telephone bids operated by Spink, commission or online or email bids), you will be deemed to be acting as principal and will be accepting personal liability, unless it has been agreed in writing, at the time of registration, that youare acting as agent on behalf of a third party buyer acceptable to us.
4.4 Commission BidsIf you give us instructions to bid on your behalf, by using the form provided in our catalogues or via our website, we shall use reasonable endeavors to do so, provided these instructions are received not later than 24 hours before the auction. If we receive commission bids on a particular Lot for identical amounts, and at auction these bids are the highest bids for the Lot, it will be sold to the person whose bid was received first. Commission bids are undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale, and the conduct of the auction may be such that we are unable to bid as requested. Since this is undertaken as a free service to prospective buyers on the terms stated, we cannot accept liability for failure to make a commission bid. You should therefore always attend personally if you wish to be certain of bidding.All commission bids should be sent to 9/F Malaysian Consulate Building, 50 Gloucester Road, Hong Kong up till 24 hours prior to the sale.
4.5 On-line BiddingWe offer internet services as a convenience to our clients. We will not be responsible for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the internet, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by (i) a loss of internet connection by either party for whatever reason; (ii) a breakdown or problems with the online bidding software and/or (iii) a breakdown or problems with your internet connection, computer or system. Execution of on-line internet bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the auction and we do not accept liability for failing to execute an online internet bid or for errors or omissions in connection with this activity.
4.6Telephone BidsIf you make arrangements with us not less than 24 hours before the sale, we shall use reasonable endeavors to contact you to enable youto participate in bidding by telephone, but in no circumstances will we be liable to either the Seller or you as a result of failure to do so.
4.7 Currency ConverterAt some auctions, a currency converter will be operated, based on the one month forward rates of exchange quoted to us by Bank of China orany other appropriate rate determined by us, at opening on the date of the auction. Bidding will take place in a currency determined by us,which is usually Hong Kong dollars for auctions held in Hong Kong. The currency converter is not always reliable, and errors may occur beyond our control either in the
accuracy of the Lot number displayed on the converter, or the foreign currency equivalent of Hong Kong dollar bids. We shall not be liable to you for any loss suffered as a result of you following the currency converter.
4.8 Video imagesAt some auctions there will be a video screen. Mistakes may occur in its operation, and we cannot be liable to you regarding either the correspondence of the image to the Lot being sold or the quality of the image as a reproduction of the original.
4.9 Bidding IncrementsBidding generally opens below the low estimate and advances in the following order although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction. The normal bidding increments are:
HK$500 to HK$2,000 by HK$100 HK$2,000 to HK$3,000 by HK$200 HK$3,000 to HK$5,000 by HK$200 or HK$300 HK$5,000 to HK$10,000 by HK$500 HK$10,000 to HK$20,000 by HK$1,000 HK$20,000 to HK$30,000 by HK$2,000 HK$30,000 to HK$50,000 by HK$2,000 or HK$3,000 HK$50,000 to HK$100,000 by HK$5,000 HK$100,000 to HK$ 200,000 by HK$10,000 HK$200,000 to HK$300,000 by HK$20,000 HK$300,000 and up at Auctioneer’s discretion

4.10.2 The Spink Group reserves the right to bid on and purchase Lots as principal.
4.11 The Auctioneer’s DiscretionThe auctioneer has the right at his absolute discretion to refuse any bid to advance the bidding in such manner as he may decide to withdrawor divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots and, in the case of error or dispute, to put an item up for bidding again.
4.12 Successful BidSubject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid, provided always that such bid is higher than the Reserve (where applicable), and the conclusion of a contract for sale between you and the Seller.
4.13 After Sale ArrangementsIf you enter into any private sale agreements for any Lot with the Seller within 60 days of the auction, we, as exclusive agents of the Seller reserve the right to charge you the applicable Buyer’s Premium in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, and the seller a commission in accordance with the terms of the seller’s agreement.

5.8.3 The benefit of this guarantee is not capable of being transferred, and is solely for the benefit of the person to whom the original invoice was made out by us in respect ofthe Lot when sold and who, since the sale, has remained the owner of the Lot without disposing of any interest in it to any third party.
5.8.4 We shall be entitled to rely on any scientific or other process to establish that the Lot is not a Forgery, whether or not such process wasused or in use at the date of the auction.
