Information for Buyers
1. Introduction:
The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers, particularly those inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All sales are
conducted on our printed ‘Conditions of sale’ which are readily
available for inspection and normally accompany catalogues. Our
staff will be happy to help you if there is anything you do not fully
understand.
2. Agency:
As auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the seller whose
identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed.
Accordingly if you buy your primary contract is with the seller.
3. Estimates:
Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum
might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. The lower
estimate may represent the reserve price and certainly will not be
below it. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or VAT
(where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the
sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are
in no sense definitive.
4. Buyer's premium:
The ‘Conditions of sale’ oblige buyers to pay a buyer's premium at
15% on the hammer price of each lot purchased. In addition, VAT is
payable on this premium (see below).
5. VAT:
(*) indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard
rate (presently 20%) on the hammer price as well as being an element in the buyer's premium. This imposition of VAT is likely to be
because the seller is registered for VAT within the European Union
and is not operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because VAT is
due at 20% on importation into the UK. The double symbol (**)
indicates that the lot has been imported from outside the European
Union and the present position is that these lots are liable to a reduced rate of VAT (presently 5%) on the gross lot price (i.e. both the
hammer price and the buyer's premium). Lots which appear without either of the above symbols indicate that no VAT is payable on
the hammer price. This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneers' Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VAT included within the premium is not recoverable as input tax.
6. We are, primarily, agents for the seller. We are dependent on information provided by the seller and whilst we may inspect lots and
act reasonably in taking a general view about them we are normally
unable to carry out a detailed or any examination of lots in order to
ascertain their condition in the way in which it would be wise for a
buyer to do. Intending buyers have ample opportunity for inspection of goods and, therefore, accept Auctioneers' Margin Scheme
and it should be noted that the VAT included within the premium is
not recoverable as input tax.
7. Electrical goods:
These are sold as 'antiques' only and if bought for use must be
checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified
electrician first.
8. Export of goods:
Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an
export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character because, e.g. they
may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Ask us if you need
help.
9. Bidding:
Bidders may be required to register before the sale commences and
lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration
form. Some form of identification may be required if you are un-
known to us. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for
telephone bidding.
10. Commission bidding:
Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the
maximum amount to be bid excluding buyers' premium. They will
be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if
any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission
bids the auctioneers may prefer the first bid received. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone or fax.
11. Methods of payment:
As a general rule any cheques tendered will need to be cleared
before removal of the goods is permitted. Please discuss with our
office in advance of the sale if other methods of payment are envisaged (except cash). Payments by credit card are subject to a surcharge of 2% plus VAT, but not those by debit card. Our preferred
method of payment is debit card. Telephone bidders must pay either by bank transfer prior to collection of lots or by credit/debit
card, cheque or cash in person prior to collection of goods.
12. Collection and storage:
Please note what the ‘Conditions of sale’ state about collection and
storage. It is important that goods are paid for and collected
promptly. Any delay may involve the buyer in paying storage charges.
13. Online Bidding:
Killens (trading as the Mendip Auction Rooms) offer an online bidding service via the-saleroom.com for bidders who cannot attend
the sale. In completing the bidder registration on www.thesaleroom.com and providing your credit card details and unless
alternative arrangements are agreed with Killens you:
(a) authorise Killens trading as the Mendip Auction Rooms, if they
so wish, to charge the credit card given in part or full payment, including all charges, for items successfully purchased in the auction
via the-saleroom.com, and
(b) confirm that you are authorised to provide these credit card
details to us through www.the-saleroom.com and agree that Killens
trading as the Mendip Auction Rooms are entitled to ship the goods
to the card holder name and card holder address provided in fulfilment of the sale.
Please note that any lots purchased via the-saleroom.com live auction service will be subject to an additional 3% charge plus VAT at
the rate imposed on the hammer price.
14. Title/Returns:
If it becomes apparent that an item has been sold without good
title or without authorisation then the buyer will return the item
promptly subject to the purchase costs and any other reasonable
costs incurred in returning the item being paid by the seller and/or
auctioneers.
15. Artist Resale Rights
According to the European Union’s Artist’s Resale Rights Directive,
which has been adopted by the United Kingdom, living artists and
artists who died within 70 years prior to the date of the sale are
entitled to receive a resale royalty each time their art work is sold
by an art market professional in the European Union or United Kingdom, subject to certain conditions. The Mendip Auction Rooms will
collect the resale royalty due to the artists or their estates from
buyers of lots with a hammer price (excluding buyer’s premium and
excluding VAT) in excess of €1000. Any purchaser of a lot to which
Artist’s Resale Right applies will be charged the amount of the resale royalty, which will be added to the invoice. VAT is not payable
on any royalty. The rate payable for items 0 to 50,000 is 4%. Contact the Auction Rooms for further rates.
Conditions of sale
Killens as the Mendip Auction Rooms carries on business with bidders, buyers and all those present in the auction room prior to or in connection with
a sale on the following General Conditions and on such other terms, conditions and notices as may be referred to herein.

hammer price achieved as recompense for the sale of the item.
8.
Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchases:
(1)
If any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with
these conditions or if there is any other breach of these conditions,
we, as agent for the seller and on our own behalf, shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may
have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and
remedies:
Definitions:

appropriate
(b)
‘Deliberate forgery’ means an imitation made with the intention of
deceiving as to authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source

Bidding procedures and the buyer:
(a)
Bidders are required to register their particulars before bidding
and to satisfy any security arrangements before entering the
auction room to view or bid
(b)
The maker of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer conducting
the sale shall be the buyer at the hammer price and any dispute
about a bid shall be settled at the auctioneer's absolute discretion by
re-offering the lot during the course of the auction or otherwise. The
auctioneer shall act reasonably in exercising this discretion
(a) To proceed against you for damages for breach of contract
(b) To rescind the sale of that lot and/or any other lots sold by us to
you
(c) To resell the lot (by auction or private treaty) in which case you
shall be responsible for any resulting deficiency in the total
amount due (after crediting any part payment and adding any
resale costs). Any surplus so arising shall belong to the seller
(d) To remove, store and insure the lot at your expense and, in the
case of storage, either at our premises or elsewhere
(e) To charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.5% per month on the
total amount due to the extent it remains unpaid for more than
four working days after the sale
(c)
Bidders shall be deemed to act as principals.
(d)
Once made, no bid may be withdrawn. Our right to bid
on
behalf of the seller is expressly reserved up to the amount of any
reserve and the right to refuse any bid is also reserved.
(f) To retain that or any other lot sold to you until you pay the total
amount due
3.
Increments:
(g) To reject or ignore bids from you or your agent at future auctions
or to impose conditions before any such bids shall be accepted
Bidding increments shall be at the auctioneer’s sole discretion.
4.
(h) To apply any proceeds of sale of other lots due or in future becoming due to you towards the settlement of the total amount due
and to exercise a lien (that is a right to retain possession of) any
of your property in our possession for any purpose until the debt
due is satisfied.
The purchase price:
The buyer shall pay the hammer price together with a premium
thereon of 15% plus VAT on the premium at the rate imposed by law.
5.
Value added tax:
(2)
Value Added Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all items
affixed with an asterisk or double asterisk. Value Added Tax is charged
at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is
payable by buyers of relevant lots. (Please refer to ‘Information for
buyers’ for a brief explanation of the VAT position).
We shall, as agent for the seller and on our own behalf pursue these
rights and remedies only so far as is reasonable to make appropriate
recovery in respect of breach of these conditions
9.
Third party liability:
6.
Payment:
(1)
Immediately a lot is sold you will:
All members of the public on our premises are there at their own risk

of the property of persons visiting prior to or at a sale.
(a) give to us, if requested, proof of identity, and
(b) pay to us the total amount due in cash or credit card (subject to a
2% surcharge) or debit card (not subject to a surcharge) or in such
other way as is agreed by us.
10.
Commission bids:
Whilst prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction
and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot
and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we will if so instructed clearly and in writing
execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so save where
such failure is unreasonable. Where two or more commission bids at
the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made.
11.
14.
Descriptions and condition:
(1)
Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us
to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers
are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale
and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy
themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot.
Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably,
representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness,
origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price
involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall
be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we
the auctioneer nor our employees or agents nor the seller accept
liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and
warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of
lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This condition is subject to the next following condition concerning deliberate
forgeries and applies save as provided for in ‘information to buyers’.
(2)
Private treaty sales made under these conditions are deemed to be
sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation.
(3)
For the sake of clarification, section 14(5) of the Sale of Goods Act
1979 will not apply to any sale.
Forgeries:
Notwithstanding the preceding condition, any lot which proves to be
a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within
21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when
bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the
relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. If
we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the lot including any buyer's premium provided that (1) if the catalogue description
reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of
sale or (2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition. The right
of return provided by this condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these ‘Conditions of sale’.
General:
16.
17.
19.
Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular
classes of items in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in
accordance with any glossary appearing at the commencement of the
catalogue.
20.
Any indulgence extended to bidders buyers or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict terms of these conditions or of the ‘Terms of Consignment’ shall affect the position at the relevant time only and in
respect of that particular concession only; in all other respects these
conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect.
21.
Compensation will be paid to the seller for any damaged or lost items
equivalent to the lower estimate of value (less any commission charges and other normal selling expenses) as agreed on entering the item
for sale or as subsequently set by the valuer. In the event of dispute
then the level of compensation payable will be referred to an independent expert for resolution.
22.
English law applies to the interpretation of these conditions.
22.
Online Bidding:
Terms of sale:
The seller acknowledges that lots are sold subject to the stipulations
of these conditions in their entirety and on the ‘Terms of consignment’ as notified to the consignor at the time of the entry of the lot.
15.
Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by first
class mail or Swiftmail in which case it shall be deemed to have been
received by the addressee 48 hours after posting.
Agency:
The auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by sellers or buyers.
13.
18.
Warranty of title and availability:

23. Artist Resale Rights
According to the European Union’s Artist’s Resale Rights Directive,
which has been adopted by the United Kingdom, living artists and
artists who died within 70 years prior to the date of the sale are entitled
to receive a resale royalty each time their art work is sold by an art
market professional in the European Union or United Kingdom, subject
to certain conditions. The Mendip Auction Rooms will collect the resale
royalty due to the artists or their estates from buyers of lots with a
hammer price (excluding buyer’s premium and excluding VAT) in excess
of €1000. Any purchaser of a lot to which Artist’s Resale Right applies
will be charged the amount of the resale royalty, which will be added to
the invoice. VAT is not payable on any royalty. The rate payable for
items 0 to 50,000 is 4%. Contact the Auction Rooms for further rates.
Information for sellers
1.
Interpretation.
10.
In these Terms the words 'you', 'yours', etc. refer to the Seller and if
the consignment of goods to us is made by an agent we assume that
the Seller has authorised the consignment and that the consignor has
the Seller's authority to contract. Similarly the words ‘we', 'us', etc.
refer to the Auctioneers.

11.
Removal and clearance costs.
Items for sale must be consigned to the sale room by any stated
deadline and at your expense. We are able to recommend individuals
or companies who are able to collect and deliver items, and to carry
out clearances at your request.In addition, for clearance there is a
charge of £110 per ton for tipping.
4.
Please assist us with accurate information as to the provenance etc.
of goods where this is relevant. There is strict liability for the accuracy
of descriptions under modern consumer legislation and in some circumstances responsibility lies with sellers if inaccuracies occur. We
will assume that you have approved the catalogue description of your
lots unless informed to the contrary. Where we are obliged to return
the price to the buyer when the lot is a deliberate forgery under Condition 15 of the Conditions of Sale and we have accounted to you for
the proceeds of sale you agree to reimburse us the sale proceeds.
Commission
For antique auctions is charged to sellers at 15% for single items selling for up to £1000 and thereafter at 10%, subject to a minimum of
£3 per lot. All charges are subject to VAT.

Minimum bids and our discretion.
(b) A reserve once set cannot be changed except in writing and with
our consent.
(c) Where a reserve has been placed only we may bid on your behalf
and only up to the reserve (if any) and you may in no circumstances
bid personally.
8.
Electrical items.
These are subject to detailed statutory safety controls. Where such
items are accepted for sale you accept responsibility for the cost of
testing by external contractors. Goods not certified as safe by an
electrician (unless antiques) will not be accepted for sale. They must
be removed at your expense on your being notified. We reserve the
right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense.
9.
(b) You authorise us in our discretion to negotiate a sale by private
treaty in the case of lots unsold at auction, in which case the same
charges will be payable as if such lots had been sold at auction and so
far as appropriate these Terms apply.
Reserves.
(a) You are entitled to place prior to the auction a reserve on any lot
consigned, being the minimum hammer price at which that lot
may be sold. Reserves must be reasonable and we may decline to
offer goods which in our opinion would be subject to an unreasonably high reserve (in which case goods carry the storage and
insurance charges stipulated in these Terms of Consignment).
Soft furnishings.
The sale of soft furnishings is strictly regulated by statute law in the
interests of fire safety. Goods found to infringe safety regulations will
not be offered and must be removed at your expense. We reserve
Authority to deduct commission and expenses and retain premium
and interest.
(a) You authorise us to deduct commission at the stated rate and all
expenses incurred for your account from the hammer price and consent to our right to retain beneficially the premium paid by the buyer
in accordance with our Conditions of Sale and any interest earned on
the sale proceeds until the date of settlement.
Goods will normally be offered subject to a reserve agreed between
us before the sale in accordance with clause 7. We may sell Lots below the reserve provided we account to you for the same sale proceeds as you would have received had the reserve been the hammer
price. By default we assume you give us a “discretion” that we may
accept a bid of up to 10% below the formal reserve, unless you tell us
otherwise when the reserve is agreed.
7.
Conditions of Sale.
You agree that all goods will be sold on our Conditions of Sale. In
particular you undertake that you have the right to sell the goods
either as owner or agent for the owner. You undertake to compensate us and any buyer or third party for all losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of this
undertaking.
Illustrations.
No charge is made for the cost of any illustrations. The copyright in
respect of such illustrations shall be the property of us, the auctioneers, as is the text of the catalogue.
Withdrawn and bought in items, or where the reserve is changed.
Any expense incurred prior to the printing of the catalogue will be
charged to the client. After the catalogue has been printed these
items incur charges comprising of the vendor’s commission, the buyer’s premium, the illustration cost, the insurance costs and other
expenses relating to the item. These are calculated on our published
high estimate, plus VAT. There is a minimum charge for withdrawal or
reserve change of £15 per lot plus VAT.
We are not regulated by the FSA for the provision of insurance to
clients. However, we for our own protection assume liability for property consigned to us at lower pre-sale estimate. To justify accepting
liability, we make a charge of 1.5% of the hammer price plus VAT.
5.
Unsold items.
If an item is unsold it may be re-offered at a future sale. Where in our
opinion an item is unsaleable you must collect such items from the
saleroom promptly on being so informed. Otherwise, storage charges
may be incurred. We reserve the right to charge for storage in these
circumstances at a reasonable daily rate.
Loss and damage warranty.
Compensation will be paid to the seller for any damaged or lost items
equivalent to the lower estimate of value (less any commission charges and other normal selling expenses) as agreed on entering the item
for sale or as subsequently set by the valuer. In the event of dispute
then the level of compensation payable will be referred to an independent expert for resolution.
Descriptions.
15.
Settlement.
After sale settlement of the net sum due to you normally takes place
10 days after the sale (by crossed cheque to the seller) unless the
buyer has not paid for the goods. In this case no settlement will then
be made but we will take your instructions in the light of our Conditions of Sale. You authorise any sums owed by you to us on other
transactions to be deducted from the sale proceeds. You must note
the liability to reimburse the proceeds of sale to us as under the circumstances provided for in Condition 10 above. You should therefore
bear this potential liability in mind before parting with the proceeds
of sale.
