GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

General Conditions of Sale as issued by Gascoines Auctioneers and Valuers

The Internet auction site is not an online retailer - the auction site is effectively acting as just a host to the sellers. This means that the Internet auction site is not responsible for the content of the advertisements placed. Unlike their live auction house counterparts, an online auction site will have no legal obligations in relation to the goods advertised for sale on its website.

The following Conditions of sale must be strictly adhered to and regulate the sale of each Lot to any Vendor, Bidder or Buyer who has been approved by Gascoines Auctioneers and Valuers (henceforth referred to as the Auctioneers). By participating in a sale, you will be judged to have read, understood and accepted these terms and are therefore bound by them.

The images (web links) may not match exactly to the Lot description. Colours or patterns may vary. All persons partaking in the auctions do so at their own risk. Under no circumstances will the Auctioneers, or the vendor be individually or collectively held responsible for any loss of damage caused to individuals or their property present on the Auction centre site or car park.

The Auctioneers reserve the right to refuse approval to any Buyer or online Bidder at the former’s own discretion.

CONDITIONS REGULATING the Conduct of the Sale

The highest bidder acknowledged as such by the auctioneers will be the buyer. In the event of doubt, on the part of the auctioneers as to the validity of any bid, the Auctioneers will have absolute discretion to determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale, re-sell the Lot or take any such remedial action the Auctioneers sees fit.

WARNING: Many of the pieces sold are factory seconds, end of line, surplus stock returns, second hand or customer returns and may in some way be damaged, incomplete or faulty. It is not the Auctioneers’ responsibility to inform of any damages. All items are purchased at the Buyer or Bidders own risk and no guarantees or warranties can be provided by the Auctioneers.

Trademarks and Branding

Lots in any auction that have been physically de-branded must remain de-branded. No original trademarks or vendor/client logos or images may be copied or used by the successful Bidder in any circumstance. Any Buyer deemed in breach of this risks permanent exclusion from future auctions.
