AUDAP & MIRABAUD (hereafter A&M) is a company
of voluntary auction sales regulated by the law of July
10th 2000. In such capacity it acts as the agent of the
seller who contracts with the buyer. The relationships
between A&M and the buyer are subject to the present Sale
Conditions which can be modified by saleroom notices or
oral indications given at the time of the sale, which will be
recorded in the official sale record. Purchased lots will have
to be paid immediately after the sale.
The sale will be conducted in Euros. Purchasers will pay
in addition to the hammer price, a buyer’s premium of
21,5%+VAT i.e. 22,68% for books and 25,8% for other
items.
GOODS FOR AUCTIONS / GUARANTEES
The auctioneer is bound by the indications in the catalogue,
modified only by announcements made at the time of the
sale noted in the legal records thereof. The order of the
catalog can be modified. An exhibition prior to the sale
permits buyers to establish the conditions of the lots offered
for sale and no claims will be accepted after the hammer has
fallen. Some differences may appear between the original
work and its illustration, there will be no claims in such
matter. The measurements are given only as an indication.
The statements about any restoration, mishape or harm
arisen concerning the lot are only made to facilitate the
inspection thereof by the prospective buyer and remain
subject to his/her own or to his/her expert’s appreciation.
The absence of statements relating to a restoration, mishap
or harm, whether made in the catalogue, condition reports,
on labels or orally, does not imply that the item is exempt
from any current, past or repaired defect. The indication of
any defect whatsoever does not imply the absence of any
other defects, being specified that basic restorations and
relining do not decrease the value of the good since they are
considered as conservatory measures. Dimensions are given
for guidance only. The state of the frames is not guaranteed.
Any changes to the conditions of sale or to the descriptions
in the catalogue shall be announced verbally during the sale,
and appended to the official sale record (procès-verbal).
An estimate in euros of the likely sale price is mentioned
in the catalogue, or on a separate sheet, for each lot. This
is provided for indication only. The hammer price may of
course be above or below this estimate.Pursuant to legal
rules, A&M is liable for 5 years, starting from the date of
the auction sale.
BIDS
The highest and final bidder is deemed to be the purchaser,
and must provide his/her name and address. Payment must

to the purchaser before it has been paid for in full. In the
event of payment by cheque or bank transfer, property may
be withheld until payment has been cleared. Any storage
costs that may result are to be paid by the purchaser. In case
of dispute after the word « adjugé » has been pronounced,
i.e. if two or more bidders simultaneously make the same
bid, either vocally or by sign, and claim title to the lot after
the word « adjugé » has been pronounced, the said lot can
be immediately reoffered for sale by the auctioneer, and all
those present may take part in the bidding.
