The following terms are applicable for all sales made at the Auction. They are subject to changes, which may be posted or announced during the Sale. Bidders must read and understand these terms as they set out the terms on which properties are sold at the Auction.
The bidders and buyers are deemed to agree with and be bound by these terms when bidding at the Auction.
To the extent applicable, the sections under Guides for Bidders are deemed to be inserted into and be an inseparable part of these Terms for Buyers.
Unless otherwise stated, we will act as the seller's agent. The concluded sales contract is made between the seller and the buyer through Sidharta Auctioneer.
A Premium to the buyer on the final bid price of each lot will be charged at 22% of the Hammer Price ("Buyer's Premium").
When bidding, we assume that interested buyers have already read the condition reports and/or examined the lots and are aware of the current condition of the lot.
All property is sold without any warranty or representation. We are not liable for any errors or omissions in the catalog. The available condition reports are mere statements of opinion and should not be relied on as statements of definitive facts. Descriptions of property are not warranties. All property is sold with all faults and imperfections and errors of description.
Absentee bids are written instructions from prospective buyers directing us to bid on their behalf up to a maximum amount specified for each lot.
Please confirm arrangement for this service with us at least 1 (one) day, 24 (twenty four) hours, before the Auction. Prospective buyers are encouraged to inform the maximum bid, in the event we are unable to reach them by telephone.
Prospective buyers who would like to participate in our auction but are unable to attend the auction, can do so remotely through the moderation of Sidharta Auctioneer's staff by placing phone bids on the lots. Due to limited number of phone bid representatives, we can only cater to five (5) phone bidders of the same lot, and It will be on a first come, first served basis. Therefore if you wish to place phone bids, we strongly advise you to please register your bids as soon as possible. If all our phone bid representatives are already fully occupied, then your phone bids will be automatically switched into written bids. For all absentee bidding, phone or written, you are required to state your top limit of bid in the absentee bid form.
The fall of the auctioneer's hammer indicates the final bid, upon which the sales contract between the seller and the buyer is deemed to be concluded.
Subject to the auctioneer's discretion, the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the seller and the buyer. Risk and responsibility for the lot (but not its title) are transferred to the buyer at the expiration of seven calendar days from the date of the sale or on collection by the buyer if earlier. The buyer will acquire title to the lot when all amounts due to us are received in good cleared funds.
A bidder accepts personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer's premium and any taxes and/or all other charges/fees that may be applicable. In the event a bidder is acting on behalf of an identified third party principal, we will look to the principal for payment.
Full payment must be in good funds within 5 (five) calendar days as of the Sale. Payment is preferably made by telegraphic transfer (against satisfactory written evidence) directly to:

Please include your name, purchased lot number, and invoice number in your bank instruction. Purchases will be released upon our confirmation that funds have been fully received in the account mentioned above. Payments with company cheques are accepted, although purchases will not be released until such cheques have been cleared. Payments with credit cards are acceptable although a certain surcharge will be added.
If payment of the bidder's final auction invoice is not yet received after two weeks from the auction date, Sidharta Auctioneer reserves the right to cancel the purchase, without prior notice, and place the bidder on its auction bidder blacklist.
Buyers are responsible for arranging packing, shipping and delivery. We suggest that potential buyers start making contact with a number of different agents even before bidding, to compare services and prices. Sidharta Auctioneer can assist you in finding and contacting some bonafide agents and provide them with the information (dimensions, weight, etc.) necessary to calculate packing, shipping and delivery costs.
All purchases will initially be held for collection at the Auction room at no charge and covered by insurance for a maximum of seven days as of the date of the Auction, after which the lot will be entirely at the buyer's risk. If purchases are not collected within seven days after the Sale, we shall arrange storage in our warehouse at the buyer's expense.
We do not accept liabilities for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with it nor do we accept liabilities for failing to contact prospective buyers by telephone or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding.
We do not accept liabilities for errors that may occur in the operation of the currency converter or the video or digital screen (or the quality of the image).
We will provide, with reasonable effort and good professional manner, a description and condition report concerning each lot. However we do not accept liabilities for any mistaken statements of whatever kind concerning any lot, whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or omissions in description or for any faults or defects in any lot.

a. cancel the sale;
b. re-sell the property publicly or privately on the terms we think fit;
