The sale will proceed in the order of the numbers of the catalogue, which can be modified by the auctioneer without giving reason. The
highest bid goes to the buyer upon approval by the Gantleitung, the local auctioneer’s Basel authority. It is its discretion to accept a bid
or to refuse it. The auction house reserves the right to refuse a bid without stating reasons. The auction house excludes any responsibility.
Written bids will be adjudicated one step above the highest bid in the auction room.
Registering and/or written bids or bids at the sale imply unconditional acceptance of all conditions of sale. All bids will be carried out
in good faith.

must arrive 4 days before the auction. Telephone bidding is only possible through our services calling at an agreed time
during the auction sale. This service has to be confirmed by the bidder by a written order prior to the auction. The auction
house declines all responsibility in case the bidder cannot be reached. Bids by e-mail are only accepted with a scan of the
signed bidding form. Internet bids are made at the sole risk of the bidder. The auction house excludes any liability, including
technical problems.
The business is done at the place of auction in Basle, which is therefore the place of performance of the transaction and of the
court of jurisdiction. The courts of the canton Basel-Stadt are exclusively responsible for all litigations between the buyer and
the organizer of the auction sale. The buyer recognizes by his participation this exclusive right of the court of Basle-Stadt and
of its jurisdiction. The auction and all consequent sales are held under Swiss jurisdiction excluding the Convention of International Sale
of Goods (CISG). All parties recognize the exclusive choice of Swiss jurisdiction with any matter
arising from the organisation and performance of the auction sale.
In all other respects, the conditions are those customary for auction sales held in Basle.
The German version of the conditions of sale is definite and legally binding in the event of any disputes.
