TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR BUYERS
These 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.

means the charge payable by you as a percentage of the Hammer Price, at the rates set out in clause 5.1 below;
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;

Lot

Seller
Spink Group
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);
means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a 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;
the amount below which we agree with the Seller that the Lot cannot be sold;
means the owner of the Lot being sold by us;
Spink China Limited, Spink and Son Ltd, and our associated companies.
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 goods
You 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 descriptions
3.2.1 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,
attribution, genuineness or provenance of any Lot norfor any other errors of
description or for any faults or defects in any Lot.
3.3 Your Responsibility
You 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.
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 images
At 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 AT THE SALE
4.1 Refusal of admission
Our 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 bidding
You 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 Principal
When 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 Bids
If 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 Bidding
We 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 Bids
If you make arrangements with us not less than 24 hours before the sale, we
shall use reasonable endeavors to contact you to enable you
to 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 Converter
At 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

amount of the Reserve (if any), which will never be above the low estimate
printed in the auction catalogue.
4.10.2 The Spink Group reserves the right to bid on and purchase Lots as
principal.
4.11 The Auctioneer’s Discretion

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 Bid
Subject 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.

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

right to arrange the sale of such Lots or other property. We shall apply the
proceeds in discharge of the amount outstanding to us, and pay any balance

may apply. You will not be entitled to collect the Lot until all outstanding
charges are met, together with payment of all other amounts due to us.
5.7Export License
5.7.1 You should always check whether an export licence is required before
exporting.

5.7.3 We will not be obliged to rescind a sale nor to refund any interest or
other expenses incurred by you where payment is made by you despite the
fact that an export license is required.

5.8Refund in the case of Forgery
5.8.1 A sale will be cancelled, and the amount paid refunded to you if a
Lot (other than a miscellaneous item not described in the catalogue)sold
by us proves to have been a Forgery. We shall not however be obliged to
refund any amounts if either (a) the catalogue description or saleroom
notice at the auction date corresponded to the generally accepted opinion
of scholars or experts at that time, or fairlyindicated that there was a conflict
of opinions, or (b) it can be demonstrated that the Lot is a Forgery only by
means of either a scientific process not generally accepted for use until after
publication of the catalogue or a process which at the date of the auction was
unreasonably expensive or impracticable or likely to have caused damage to
the Lot. Furthermore, you should note that this refund can
be obtained only if the following conditions are met:
5.8.1.1 you must notify us in writing, within seven days of the auction date,
that in your view the Lot concerned is a forgery;
5.8.1.2 you must then return the item to us within fourteen days, in the
same condition as at the auction date; and
5.8.1.3 as soon as possible following return of the Lot, you must produce
evidence satisfactory to us that the Lot is a Forgery and that
you are able to transfer good title to us, free from any third party claims.
5.8.2 In no circumstances shall we be required to pay you any more than
the amount paid by you for the Lot concerned and you shall have no claim
for interest.
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.
