CONDITIONS OF SALE First
The highest bidder for a lot shall be the Purchaser thereof, subject to the right of the Auctioneer by whom the sale is conducted to refuse to accept any bidding if he thinks proper to do so and also subject as to every lot, to any reserved price that the Vendor may have put on the lot. If in the opinion of the Auctioneer any dispute shall arise as to the last or best bidding for any lot, the lot in dispute shall be put up again at the last undisputed bidding.
Second
A person shall not retract a bidding and only bidding of one or more guineas will be accepted.
Third
Every lot will be sold and must be taken by the purchaser with all faults and errors of description (if any) and from the fall of the hammer the lot shall be and remain at the Purchaser’s risk; but no lot shall be removed from the Sale Premises until it has been paid for in cash nor without a pass from the Secretary of the Society or his Clerk.
Fourth
No set off nor any deduction against or from the purchase money of any lot will under any circumstances be recognised or allowed by the Auctioneers.
Fifth
Excepting in any case that may come within the terms of, and as is mentioned in, the proviso in this condition hereinafter contained, no warranty whatever will be given with, nor shall any warranty be implied with or in respect of any lot, nor shall any damages or compensation be payable to any Purchaser in respect of any fault in any lot or any error of description (if any) of any lot. Provided nevertheless that this condition shall not extend (a) to any lots as to which a representation is expressly made by the owner and printed under the description of the lot in this Catalogue that such lot is fertile or competent as a stock-getter, or to that effect, if such representation be inaccurate, nor (b) to any bull of 12 months old and over at the date of sale (see Rule 9 of the Society’s Rules and Regulations).
Sixth
If any purchaser shall fail to comply with condition No. 2 hereof, the Auctioneers shall be at liberty to re-sell the lot or lots bought by him or her by either public auction or private contract and the deficiency in price (if any) occasioned by such re-sale, together with all charges and expenses attending the same, and also all charges and expenses attending the keeping and maintenance of the lot or lots until re-sale, shall be made good and paid by the defaulter at the present sale: but, if there be any surplus upon any such re-sale, the defaulter shall not be entitled thereto.
Seventh The Society’s Rules and Regulations, which will be on display at the Sale, shall be deemed to be incorporated in and shall form part of these Conditions of Sale.
