otherwise as to all the Sale Conditions, the physical condition
of and description of the lot including but not restricted to
whether the lot is damaged or has been repaired.
2. PROPERTY AND RISK: The property in a lot shall not pass

damaged or destroyed, and all lots not so removed shall remain
at risk of the buyer and subject to the minimum warehousing
charges outlined below. If they are not paid for and removed
within thirty days of the Sale the Auctioneer may re-sell them
by Auction or privately without notice to the buyer. Any liability
which there may be on the part of the Auctioneer, in respect of
any loss, shall be restricted to a maximum of the price paid by
the purchaser of the lot.
(b) Storage and warehousing charges: Please note that there
will be no charge to purchasers who collect their lots within

will be payable and a storage charge of €2.00 per lot per day
will then come into effect. These charges are payable by the
purchaser to the auctioneer and are subject to VAT.
(c) If any buyer fails to comply with any of the above conditions,
the damage recoverable from the defaulter shall include
all loss arising from any re-sale of the lot, together with the
warehousing charges and expenses in respect of both sales,
and any money deposited in part payment shall be held by
the auctioneer against the defaulters liability and may be
appropriated in settlement of the liability.
4. If within 30 days after the Sale of any item, the Auctioneer
receives a notice in writing from the Buyers by Registered

foregoing, the matter shall be referred to an Independent
