Transaction Rules The following provisions are entered into by and between Ravenel Auction Hong Kong Limited, having its registered office at Unit 601-3, 50 Connaught Road, Central, Hong Kong, as the auctioneer(hereinafter referred to as “the Company”), and the Seller (hereinafter referred to as the “Seller”). This Agreement is also entered into by and between the Company as the agent of the Seller and the Buyer (hereinafter referred to as the “Buyer”). The Prospective Buyer, the Buyer and the Seller must carefully review and completely agree all provisions hereunder and any revisions from time to time. The Buyer should pay special attention to Article 2, Section 5 which provides limitations as to the legal responsibilities of the Company. Article 1.Definition Some of the phrases commonly seen herein are defined as follows: 1. “The Buyer” shall mean highest bidder accepted by the Company. 2. “The Prospective Buyer” shall mean any potential bidder willing to attend the auction salehosted by the Company. 3. “The Seller” shall mean the mandator who provides the Lot and agrees to appoint the Company as its exclusive agent to sell the Lot at the Auction and participate, and cooperate, in exhibitions prior to the Auction if so required by the Company. 4. “The Lot” shall mean the item delivered to the Company to be sold in an auction or exhibition, especially the single or multiple pieces of items numbered in the catalogue. 5. “Hammer price” shall mean the highest bid with respect to one particular auction item accepted by the auctioning party. 6. “The Buyer’s Premium paid by the Buyer” shall mean the fee based on a certain percentage of the Hammer price paid by the Buyer; the percentage shall be as prescribed in Article 2, Section 4a. 7. “The Reserve Price” shall mean the lowest price agreed by the Company and Seller. The Lot cannot be sold at a price lower than such price. 8. “Counterfeit” shall mean the Lot constitutes imitation and the original concept of the imitation and its overall execution result in fraud to cause deception in connection with the author, history, year, age, culture or origin of the Lot, for which the accurate description is not reflected in the catalogue and the value of the Lot on the auction day is far less than the value it should have according to the description in the catalogue. Therefore, no auction item will become a counterfeit as a result of any damage and/or any repairing in any manner (including repaints). 9. “Insured amount” shall mean the value of the insurance purchased for the Lot which the Company considers necessary under its absolute power from time to time (regardless whether such insurance is purchased by the Company). Article 2.The Buyer 1. The Company as the Agent The Company, as the auctioning party, shall act as the agent of the Seller. Except otherwise provided, items successfully sold in the auction held by the Company shall be bound by the agreement made by and between the Seller, through the agency of the Company, and the Buyer.
54
2.Prior to the Auction a. Authentication We strongly recommend that the prospective buyers conduct their own authentication for the items they are interested in bidding prior to the auction. We provide no guarantees to the buyer including but without limitations whether the Lot is a counterfeit or the authentication of the Lot’s certificates (with the exception of the guarantee with regard to counterfeits as defined in Article 1 of the Transaction Agreement). b. Important Notice Attention, the Prospective Buyers: As far as possible, the descriptions of auction items will mention obvious defects of the items; however, they do not necessarily include all flaws, defects, or incomplete aspects. The Company does not guarantee that the Lots on auction are in good working condition and the descriptions in the catalogue must not be construed as implying such. The description of the auction items also do not imply that the items have not gone through readjustment or repair or allude anything about the current state or storage conditions of the items. Any omission in the catalogue description regarding the current condition or the appraisal of defects in the items by no means represent that those items are in good condition, function normally, or that there will be any free repair or replacement of parts. We strongly recommend the Prospective Buyers to personally view the items for which they plan to bid before the auction itself. If a Prospective Buyer is unable to view an item for whatever reason, then in our role as a service provider, we would be more than happy to offer our opinion of an item’s special characteristics and current condition. However, the Company is not a professional restorer of the Lots; therefore, any description in the catalogue or any statement provided by the Company is purely the Company’s subjective opinion and not a statement of fact, not for representations or warranties. The Prospective Buyer completely understands and acknowledges that all of the items on auction are being sold in “as is” condition.The Company does not provide any representation or guarantee as to the conditions of any of the items. Unless otherwise stated in laws of Hong Kong, the Company does not provide any warranty with the items. c. Symbol Key The following key explains the symbol you may see inside this catalogue. Premium Lot  In order to bid on “Premium Lots” the Buyer must complete the required pre-registration application and deliver to The Company such necessary financial references, guarantees, deposits and / or such other security as The Company’s may in its absolute discretion require for your bid. The Companydecision whether to accept any pre-registration application shall be final. We recommend you complete and return the Lot pre-registration form in this catalogue in the manner required therein or contact the Company at least 5 working days prior to the relevant sale in order to process the pre-registration. Please bear in mind that we are unable to obtain financial references over weekends or public holidays. The Company will provide a special paddle number for the register of “Premium Lot”. ○ Guaranteed Property The Seller of the Lots with this symbol next to the Lot number has been guaranteed a minimum price from one auction or a series of auctions. This guarantee may be provided by the Company, by a third party or jointly by the Company and a third party. A guarantee may be in the form of an irrevocable bid provided by a third party. Third parties providing or participating in a guarantee may benefit financially if a guaranteed Lot is
sold successfully and may incur a loss if the sale is not successful. If third parties providing or participating in a guarantee is the successful bidder for the guaranteed Lot, they should be required to pay the full Buyer’s Premium. Endangered Species Property made of or incorporating endangered and other protected species of wildlife are marked in the catalogue with a symbol ( ) next to the title of the said lot. Such materials include coral, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whalebone, etc. The Buyers should be aware that some countries prohibit altogether the importation of property containing such materials, and that other countries may require a licence or certificate (e.g. a CITES permit) in the countries of exportation as well as importation. For example, the United State prohibits the importation of elephant ivory that is less than 100 years old. The Company suggests that the Buyers check with their own government regarding wildlife import requirements prior to placing a bid. Please note that it is the Buyer’s responsibility to obtain any licences and/or certificates as well as other required documentation applying to the importation or exportation of the property containing endangered and other protected wildlife materials. The Buyers completely acknowledge and understand the inability to import or export such property is not a basis for cancellation or rescission of the sale. Burmese Stones Lots which contain rubies or jadeite originating In Burma (Myanmar) may be prohibited to be imported into the United States. As a convenience to our bidders, we have marked these lots with ( ). The Buyers completely acknowledge and understand that any inability to import any such Lots into the U.S. or any other country shall not constitute grounds for non-payment or cancellation of the sale. With respect to the Lots that contain any other types of gemstones originating in Burma (e.g., sapphires), such Lots may have the possibility to be imported into the U.S., provided that gemstones have been mounted or incorporated into jewellery outside of Burma and provided that the setting is not of a temporary nature (e.g., a string). Importation of watches into the USA The Prospective Buyers should be aware that the importation of luxury watches such as Rolex into the United States is highly restricted. These watches (not limited to Rolex) may be prohibited to be shipped into the USA and can only be imported personally. Generally, a buyer may import and wear only one watch into the USA. In this catalogue these watches have been marked with ( ). It is the Buyer’s sole responsibility to determine whether there are any Import restrictions and to comply with such restrictions. The Buyers completely acknowledge and understand that the failure by the Company to mark a lot with ( ) shall not constitute grounds to rescind or cancel a sale. d. Catalogue Explanations Any statement of the author, history, date, year, size, material, ownership, authenticity, origin, condition of preservation or estimated selling price of any of the Lots and certificates thereof shown in the catalogue or the authentication opinion made by the Company, or any other verbal or written statements made separately shall be solely statements of opinions and shall not be deemed the basis for the statements of actual fact. The photographs shown in the catalogue shall serve as reference only and shall not be deemed as the basis for determining the color or tone of any Lots or disclosure of the defects of such item. The estimates of the auction price shall not be deemed the price at which such item will be successfully sold or the statement of the value of
the item for other purposes. Many auction items fail to maintain their perfect condition because of time and other environmental factors. Some of the explanations in the catalogue or the authentication opinions will state defects and/or the repair background of the Lots. Such information is meant for reference only. Missing information in the statements does not mean the Lot has no defects or has not been repaired. Any statement of one particular defect does not mean there is no any other defect. All the lots in this catalogue are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price established between the Company and the seller and below which the lot will not be sold. The Reserve Price will not exceed the low estimate for the lot. If any lots are offered without a reserve, these lots will be identified with the red title, and a Special Note will be included to this effect. The description of the condition of clocks and watches in this catalogue, including references to defects and repairs, is provided as a service to prospective buyers, but such description is not necessarily complete. While The Company will furnish a condition report on any lot to a prospective purchaser upon request, any such report may also be incomplete and may not specify all mechanical replacements or defects. Accordingly, all clocks and watches should be viewed personally by prospective buyers to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale. All lots are sold “as is”, and absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply that the lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Virtually all clocks and watches have been repaired in the course of their normal useful lifetime and may now incorporate parts not original to them. Furthermore, The Company makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. It should be noted that most wristwatches with water-resistant cases have been opened to identify type and quality of movement. It cannot be assumed that the watches are still waterproof and the Buyers are advised to have the watches checked by a competent watch-maker before use. Please note that gold of less than 18ct. does not quality in all countries as ‘gold’ and may be refused import. The Company cannot accept liability if import is refused. Please note that all Rolex watches in the The Company sale catalogue are sold as viewed and that The Company cannot guarantee the authenticity of any individual component part of these Rolex watches. The bracelets described as “associated” are not part of the original piece and may not be authentic. e. Responsibility of the Buyer The Buyer is responsible for clarifying and satisfying himself about the condition of the items and any related matters stated in the catalogue descriptions and making his/her own judgment or estimation independently regarding the Lots. 3. In the Auction a. Refusal of Admission The auction is held at the premises of the Company or any location where the Company has control of for the auction. The Company has full discretion to exercise the right to refuse entry to the premises for the auction or to prevent participation in the auction. b. Registration Prior to the Bidding The Prospective Buyers must fill in and sign the registration forms prior to the bidding and provide personal identification. The Prospective Buyers should also note that the Company may be requested to conduct credit checks against Buyers.
c. The Bidder is the Buyer Unless a written agreement has been made upon registration that the bidder will be the agent who acts on behalf of a third person and such third person is accepted by the Company, the bidder will be deemed as the Buyer who will bear individual legal responsibilities. d. Commission Bids The Company will make the proper effort to bid for the Prospective Buyers who instruct us to bid on their behalf by using the forms attached to the explanations of the catalogue; provided, however, bid commission instructions are delivered to the Company prior to the auction. If the Company receives several commission bids for one particular item, with all bid prices being equal and of the highest bid price at the auction, priority shall be given to the Buyer whose bid commission is delivered to the Company first. Commission bids are subject to auction conditions. The situation at the auction may prevent the Company from making the bid as commissioned. This is a free service provided by the Company to the Prospective Buyers pursuant to the provisions prescribed. The Company will not be held legally liable if it fails to make the bid as commissioned. The Prospective Buyers should attend the auction in person if they wish to ensure a successful bid. e. Bid by Phone The Company will make proper effort to contact the bidder so he can participate in the auction by phone if the Prospective Buyer makes arrangements with the Company prior to the auction. However, the Company will bear no responsibilities to the Seller or any Prospective Buyer if no contact is made or any failure to participate in the auction by phone under any circumstances. f. Online Bids via LiveAuctioneers If the bidder cannot attend the auction, it may be possible to bid online via LiveAuctioneers for selected Lots to bear individual buyers’ responsibilities. This service is free and confidential. For information about registering to bid via LiveAuctioneers, please refer to ravenel.com. Bidders using the LiveAuctioneers service are subject to the additional terms and conditions for online bidding via LiveAuctioneers, which can be viewed at ravenel. com and be revised by the Company from time to time. g. Exchange Rate Conversion Board There will be an exchange rate conversion board operating at the auctions. The exchange rate is calculated at the exchange rate of the one-month future goods reported to the Company from the bank when starting business on the day of the auction. Nonetheless, the auction will still be conducted in HKdollars. The exchange rate conversion board is not absolutely reliable and for the reference only. The accuracy of either the Lot numbering shown on the board or the equivalent of the bid price in any foreign currency is not within the control of the Company. The Company will not be responsible for any losses caused by the reliance of the Buyer on the exchange rate conversion board. h. Recorded Images There is image projection in the auctions; however, errors may occur during the operation. The Company is not liable for the color accuracy of the reproduced image and whether the projected image corresponds to the item being auctioned. i. Determining Power of the Auctioneer The auctioneer has the absolute power to reject any bid, push for bids at his discretion, withdraw any auction items, separate or combine two or more auction items, and if there is any error or dispute, re-auction the items. If the auctioneer announcethe points for attention before the auction or the bidding, the Buyer shall pay attention for any announcement as its own responsibility. j. Successful Bids
56
Under the sole discretion of the auctioneer, the fall of the hammer indicates the acceptance of the highest bid price, i.e., the Seller and the Buyer enter into a successful auction agreement.The Buyer shall be responsible to the Seller for performing the obligations and responsibility of a Buyer. 4. Following the Auction a. The Buyer’s Premium of Each Lot Payable by the Buyer 1. The Buyer should pay the hammer price and, in addition, the Buyer’s Premium to the Company. For hammer price below HK$ 8,000,000 (inclusive), the Buyer’s Premium should be calculated at 20% of the hammer price. 2. For hammer price higher than HK$ 8,000,000, total amount of the Buyer’s Premium should be that the first HK$ 8,000,000 of the hammer price should be calculated at 20% and the rest of the amount of the hammer price should be calculated at 12%. b. Taxes All the payments payable by the Buyer to the Company do not include any government tax any commodity or service taxes or any other value added taxes. The Buyer should be responsible for paying any applicable taxes as required by the law. c. Payment The Buyer should provide his name and permanent address to the Company upon the successful bid. Relevant bank information, including but without limitations the payment account, should also be provided upon request. All payments due (including the hammer price, Buyer’s Premium and any applicable taxes) should be paid within 7 days following the auction date. The aforesaid provision also applies if the Buyer intends to export the Lot and (may) need the export permit. If the Buyer fails to pay to the Company all the payments due, the Buyer will not acquire the ownership of the Lot even if the Company has delivered such item to the Buyer. If the payment to The Company are made in any currency other than HK dollars, the Company will collect from the Buyer any foreign exchange expense incurred therefrom, including bank charges and foreign exchange Buyer’s Premiums. The exchange rate of the payments to the Company in any currency other than HK dollars should be the exchange rate reported by the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) to the Company on the auction date and should be based on the certificates issued by the Company according to such exchange rate. d. Collection of the Lot Sold Unless otherwise agreed by the Company, the Company will hold temporarily the successfully sold Lots until all payments to the Company are made in full. The Lot will be covered by the insurance of the Company from the auction date for 7 days during the temporary holding period. The insurance coverage will terminate upon earlier collection of such item. The Buyer should be responsible for all risks following expiration of the said 7-day period or the collection (whichever is the earlier). e. Packaging and Transportation The Buyer is requested to note that he should bear all the risks after expiration of the said 7 days period or from collection of such items(whichever is the earlier), without prejudice to the Company’s right. f. Referral of Packaging or Transportation Companies The shipping department of the Company may act as the agent of the Buyer to arrange for delivery. Although we can refer freight forwarders upon special request, the Company will not be held liable for any legal responsibilities in this regard.And the Buyer shall prepay the freight charges. g. Remedies for Non-Payment of Items Sold
The Company is entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies if the Buyer fails to make payment within 7 daysfollowing the auction date: 1. An interest at the annual rate of no higher than 10% plus the base interest rate of Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) will be imposed on all of the payment due if payment is not made within 7 days following the auction date. Besides, we have the right of charging also 1% selling price (including of hammer price and the commission) multiplied by the number of delayed days as fine for the default. The payment to be made by the Buyer mayoffset any payment owed by the Company or its subsidiaries to the Buyer for any other transactions upon the Company’s sole decision. 2. To exercise lien of any items owned by the Buyer and held by the Company for any purposeincluding but without limitations other transactions. The Company may arrange to sell such items after serving a 14day notice to the Buyer about his non-payment. The proceeds shall make up for the payment due. 3. If the Buyer owes the Company several payments as a result of different transactions, the payments will setoff any payments due in any particular transaction, regardless of whether the Buyer specifies to setoff such payments. 4. Refuse the Buyer to make, or to make on behalf of others, bids in any future auctions and/or to require a security deposit from the Buyer before accepting any future bids from him. If the Buyer fails to make payment within 35 days, the Company is entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights in addition to the aforementioned: (a)To bring legal proceedings against the Buyer on behalf of the Seller to claim the entire payment due and the legal fees and attorney fees resulting from such proceeding based on a total claim. (b)Cancel the transaction of Lots bid by the Buyer or any other auction items sold to the Buyer at the same or any other auctions. (c)To arrange a public or private re-sale of the Lot. If the re-selling price is lower, the difference will be claimed against the Buyer together with any cost incurred as a result of the non-payment by the Buyer. h. No Collection of the Lot Sold The Company will arrange for the storage of the Lot if such item sold is not collected within 7 days following the successful auction, regardless of payment. Such storage cost will be borne by the Buyer. Only when the storage, shipping, insurance cost and any other expenses together with any other payments due to the Company are paid in full can the sold Lot be collected. i. Export Permit Except where otherwise agreed in writing by the Company, the fact that the Buyer’s wishes to apply for an export permit does not affect the Buyer’s responsibility to make the payments in 7 days following the auction date; nor does it affect the Company’s right to impose interest on delayed payments. If the Buyer requests that the Company applies for the export permit on his behalf, the Company is entitled to collect monies made in connection with such an application and any miscellaneous expenses together with any relevant value added taxes. If the Buyer makes the payment regardless of the fact that an export permit is needed, the Company is not responsible for returning to the Buyer any interest or other expenses incurred therefrom. 5. The Legal Responsibility of the Company The Company is responsible for returning payment to the
Buyer pursuant to Article 2, Section 6.

The Buyer, the Company, the employees or the agents of the Company make no guarantee impliedly or explicitly with respect to any auction items. Any warranty of any kind shall not be included herein. 6. Return of Payments for Counterfeits The transaction will be cancelled and payments made before remit to the Seller will be returned to the Buyer if the Lot of the Company is confirmed to be a counterfeit by the professional appraisal party agreed and recognized by the Company in writing. However, if: a. The catalogue explanations or the notice at the auction distributed on the auction day corresponds to the opinions generally accepted by the academic or professional fields or explicitly indicates it conflicts with the opinions generally accepted by the academic or professional fields; or b. The method used to prove that the Lot is a counterfeit is a scientific procedure not generally accepted for use before the publication of the catalogue or a procedure unreasonably expensive on the day of the auction, or impractical, or may cause damage to the Lot; the Company is not liable for the return of any payment under any circumstances. In addition, the Buyer’s payment can only be refunded when the following terms are met: 1. The Buyer must notify the Company in writing within 10 days following the auction day that he considers the relevant auction item a counterfeit. The Buyer must return the Lot to the Company within the following 14 days following the said notice and the condition of the item must be the same as on the auction day and without any damage. 2. Upon returning the Lot, the Buyer must present evidence as soon as possible to convince the Company that the Lot is a counterfeit (The Company has the final and sole discretion and decision and such decision shall not be objected in this regard). The Buyer may also assign the good ownership of the Lot to the Company, which shall not concern any third party claim. Under no circumstances is it necessary for the Company to pay the Buyer an amount more than what the Buyer pays in connection with the Lot and the Buyer can not claim interests. The interests of the warrantee cannot be assigned and belong solely to the Buyer who receives the original invoice on which such Buyer’s name is recorded from the Company when the Lot is sold. Such Buyers shall remain the owner of the auction Lot and cannot assign any interest of the Lot to any other person. The Company is entitled to ascertain that the Lot is not a counterfeit based on a scientific procedure or any other procedure, regardless of whether such procedure is being used on the day of the auction.If the result of appraising and verifying whether the Lot is a counterfeit by the Company conflicts with the evidence provided by the Buyer, the Company’s said result shall prevail over the evidence provided by the Buyer. Article 3.The Seller 1. The Company as the Agent The Company acts as the agent of the Seller at a public auction or exhibition. The Closing Agreement of the Lot is the agreement by and between the Buyer and the Seller, through the agency of the Company on behalf of the Seller.

limit the sale relationship between the Seller and Buyer. In the event such standards are incorrect in any aspect, the Company or the Buyer may bring legal actions against the Seller.

d. 委託競投 如準買家使用印於目錄說明之後之表格指示本公司 代其競投,本公司將盡適當努力代其競投,但代為 競投指示須於拍賣前送抵本公司。如本公司就某一 拍賣品而收到多個委託競投之相等競投價,而在拍 賣時此等競投價乃該拍賣品之最高競投價,則該拍 賣品會歸其委託競投最先送抵本公司之人。委託競 投之承擔受拍賣時之其他承諾所限,而拍賣進行之 情況可能使本公司無法代為競投。由於此項承擔乃 本公司為準買家按所述條款提供之免費服務,如未 能按委託作出競投,本公司將不負任何法律責任。 準買家如希望確保競投成功,應親自出席競投。 e. 電話競投 如準買家於拍賣前與本公司作好安排,本公司將盡 適當努力聯絡競投者,使其能以電話參與競投,但 在任何情況下,如未能聯絡或無法參加電話競投, 本公司對賣家或任何準買家均不負任何責任。 f. 即時網上競投 若準買家未能出席拍賣會,或可透過 LiveAuctioneers 網上競投服務於網上競投指定拍 品,而承擔買方獨立責任。此項服務乃免費及保 密。有關透過 LiveAuctioneers 網上競投服務登記, 進行網上競投之詳情,請參閱本公司網頁 ravenel. com。使用 LiveAuctioneers 網上競投服務之準買 家須接受透過 LiveAuctioneers 網上競投服務進行 即時網上競投之附加條款(可參閱羅芙奧 ravenel. com),以及適用於該拍賣之業務規則所規範,本 公司得隨時修改該業務規則。 g. 匯率轉換顯示板 拍賣會中,本公司會使用匯率轉換顯示板,然而競 投仍會以港幣進行。匯率轉換顯示板僅供參考,不 論是顯示板所示之拍賣品編號或是港幣競投價之相 等外匯,其準確程度均可能會出現非本公司所能控 制之誤差。買家因依賴匯率轉換顯示板(而非因以 港幣競投)所導致而蒙受之任何損失,本公司概不 負責。 h. 錄映影像 在拍賣中會有影像投射,但其操作或會出現錯誤。 不論影像是否與成功拍賣之拍賣品相配合,或是如 翻版影像之質素,本公司對買家均不負任何責任。 i. 拍賣官之決定權 拍賣官具有絕對決定權,包括但不限於有權拒絕任 何競投、以其決定之方式推動出價、將任何拍賣品 撤回或分批、將任何兩件或多件拍賣品合併拍賣, 以及如遇有誤差或爭議,將拍賣品重新拍賣。拍賣 官會於拍賣開始前或於相關拍賣品競標前對應注意 事項作出通告,買家須自行注意此等通告。 j. 成功競投 在拍賣官之決定權下,下槌即顯示對最高競投價之 接受,視為賣家與買家之成功拍賣合約之訂立。買 家即應對賣家負擔買受人之義務及責任。 4.拍賣後 a. 買家支付每件拍賣品之佣金費率 (1)買家除支付落槌價外,另須支付佣金予本公司, 落槌價於港幣捌佰萬元以下者 (含港幣捌佰萬元) 以20%計算。 (2)落槌價於港幣捌佰萬元以上者,採分為二階段 計費,其中港幣捌佰萬元以20%計算,超過港幣 捌佰萬元之部份再以12%計算,加總計算佣金金 額。 b. 稅項 買家應付予本公司之所有款項均不包括任何國家或 地區稅賦、貨物或服務稅或其他稅款。如有任何此 等稅項適用,買家須負責按有關法律所規定之稅率 及時間,自行繳付此稅款。

七天內領取,則不論是否已付款,本公司將安排貯 存事宜,費用由買家承擔。而買方在付清所引起之 貯存、搬運、保險及任何其他費用,連同欠本公司 之所有其他款項付清後,買家才可領取已購得之拍 賣品。 i. 出口許可證 除本公司另有書面同意外,買家希望申請出口許可 證之事實,並不影響買家在成功拍賣日後起算七天 內付款之責任,亦不影響本公司對延遲付款收取利 息之權利。 如買家要求本公司代為申請出口許可證,本公司有 權向其收回與此項申請有關之付出款項及零碎開支 連同任何有關之稅款。 如買家不管需要有出口許可證之事實而作出付款, 本公司並無責任退還買家因此而引致之任何利息或 其他開支。 5. 本公司之法律責任 本公司僅在第二條第6項所列之情況下,得將退還款 項予買家。除此之外,不論賣家或本公司,或本公司 任何僱員或代理人,對任何拍賣品之作者、來歷、日 期、年代、尺寸、材質、歸屬、真實性、產地、保存 狀況或估計售價之陳述,或任何拍賣品之任何缺陷, 均不負有任何責任。賣家、本公司、本公司之僱員或 代理人,不論是明示或暗示,均無就任何拍賣品作出 任何保證。 6. 膺品/贓物之退款 如經本公司拍賣之拍賣品,經本公司書面認可之專業 鑑定機構出具鑑定報告證實為膺品或贓物,則交易將 取消,已付之款項於交付賣方前將退還予買家。但 如: a. 在拍賣日發出之目錄說明或拍賣場通告符合當時學 者或專家普遍接納之意見,或清楚表明有抵觸當時 學者或專家普遍接納之意見,或 b. 證明拍賣品為膺品或贓物之方法,只是一種在目錄 出版前仍未普遍獲接納使用之科學程序,或是一種 在拍賣日仍屬昂貴得不合理或並不實際或很可能會 對拍賣品造成損壞之程序,則本公司無論如何並無 責任退還任何款項。此外,買家只在滿足下述條件 下方可獲得退款: (1)買家必須在付款領取拍賣品後的十日內以書面通 知本公司,說明買家認為有關拍賣品乃膺品或贓 物之詳細理由及證據,並通知後十四日內及將拍 賣品送還本公司,而其狀況應維持與拍賣當日相 同,不得有任何損壞;及 (2)送還拍賣品時,買家須出示證據,足以使本公司 確信拍賣品乃膺品或贓物(本公司保有最終及不可 異議的決定權)。在任何情況下,本公司均毋須向 買家支付多於買家就有關拍賣品而支付予本公司 之款項,而買家亦不能索取利息或任何賠償。 本條款之利益不能轉讓,完全屬於拍賣品成功拍賣時 獲本公司發給正本發票之買家所有(該買家名稱確係被 記載於發票上),該名買家並須自拍賣後一直保持拍賣 品擁有人之身分,而且並無將拍賣品之任何利益讓予 任何第三人。本公司有權依據任何科學程序或其他程 序確定拍賣品並非膺品,不論該程序在拍賣當日是否 已使用或已在使用,如本公司驗證拍賣品是否屬於贗 品之結果與買家出示證據相衝突者,應以本公司驗證 結果為準。 三.賣家 1. 本公司作為代理人
