Prior to receiving a bidding number, the buyer will provide name and address and if requested, proof of identity.

2. Bidding incrementsThe auctioneer shall have the right to refuse any bid which does not meet the set increments as the auctioneer shall in his absolute discretion direct.

New England Auctions may implement the reserve by bidding through its representative on behalf of the consignor. The Consignor may not bid upon or buy back any lot consigned.

6. PurchaseOn the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer or any other acknowledgement of sale, title to the offered lot will pass to the highest acknowledged bidder, who thereupon immediately assumes full risk and responsibility thereof, and will immediately pay the full purchase price, including premium, and tax if applicable, thereof, unless credit terms have been agreed with New England Auction prior to the auction; otherwise no lot may be taken away unless those amounts due are paid in full.

7. Credit TermsNew England Auctions may, at its absolute discretion, agree to credit terms with the buyer before an auction begins, under which the buyer will be entitled to take possession of lots purchased up to an agreed amount in value in advance of payment by a determined future date of the ‘total amount due.’

8. Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchasesIf any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with Condition 6 or if there is any other breach of that Condition, New England Auctions as agent of the seller shall, at its absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights it may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies:

(g) To reject or ignore any bids made by or on behalf of the defaulting buyer at any future auctions, or obtain a deposit before accepting any bids in the future;

(iii) it comprises an atlas, an extra-illustrated book, a periodical publication or a print or drawing; or

(iv) in the case of a manuscript, it was not described in the catalogue as complete; or

(v) the defect in question was mentioned in the catalogue; or

(vi) the defect complained of is other than text or illustration. For Example (but without limitation to) an item may not be returned nor will its sale be set aside on account of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, wormholes, lack of blank leaves, bookplates or owners inscriptions, or any subsequently published volume, supplements, etc.

(c) A buyer’s claim under this Condition shall be limited to any amount paid in respect of the lot and shall not extend to any loss or damage suffered or expense incurred by them.
