3. OFFER OF THE AUCTION LOTS

As presented in the auction catalogue:

Lots are meticulously described and with the greatest care, however without responsibility. Photographs count as part of the description with regard to visible attributes. Material contained in the catalogue, advertisements or other publications of Antiquorum is presented on an indicative basis only.

Please note the Important Notices, in particular, all statements by us are statements of opinion and are not in any way statements of fact to be relied upon. Such statements can be entered in the catalogue for the lot concerned or in the condition report or made elsewhere whether orally or in writing.

Any reference by Antiquorum regarding damage or restoration whether in the catalogue entry for any lot or in the condition report on such lot are for guidance only.

Evaluation by the Bidder or its representative should be made in person in all cases. Where there is no reference to damage or restoration there is no implication that a lot or part thereof is defect free or unrestored. If a particular defect is identified this does not imply that other defects are absent. All statements are not representations, warranties or assumptions of liability by Antiquorum.

Antiquorum has included in the catalogue estimates of the value of the lots to be sold. Such estimates have been developed using such experts, tests and other methods as Antiquorum has deemed in its sole discretion to be appropriate under the circumstances. Antiquorum shall have no liability whatsoever relating to estimates of value attributed to the lots and all participants in the auction shall be responsible for reaching their own conclusions as to the value of the lots. No estimate may be taken to be an indication either that a lot will sell at such price nor in any other respect that the figure concerned is a statement of value.

Responsibility of both Antiquorum and the Seller for any errors and omissions in the catalogue or in any other related material is restricted exclusively to the provisions in Clause 6 below and no other responsiblity is accepted.

Persons attending the auction and/ or who have viewed any lots before the auction and/or Bidder’s representatives and auction agents are understood to have examined all lots which they purchase and to accept them as they are at the moment of the knocking down and not necessarily as described. Therefore, all lots are sold “as is” according to their condition at the moment of the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer. Those persons interested must examine the lots personally to confirm their actual condition and to determine if any object has been repaired or restored. The Buyer acknowledges that it is the responsibility of the Buyer to fully inspect each lot before bidding and hereby represents that the amounts bid for any lot are based solely on the Buyer’s own independent inspection and evaluation of that lot.
The sale takes place without any guarantee whatsoever except as stated in these Conditions of Save and except as provided in Clause 6, neither Antiquorum acting as agent only nor the Seller accept any responsibility whatsoever for any defect or deterioration of any lot nor for any precisions or indications given concerning the author, maker, origin, period, age, attribution, authenticity, provenance, weight or condition of any object. Furthermore no employee of Antiquorum has authority to give any kind of guarantee whatsoever.

Respective responsibility positions and duties of Buyer, Bidders and Antiquorum

Exclusive responsibility to check and confirm satisfaction with the condition of any lot and any catalogue description is with the Buyer.
Bidders/Buyers acknowledge their responsibilities whether personally or through trusted agent to carry out inspections and investigations as to any and all lots of interest knowing and being aware that the knowledge of Antiquorum regarding each lot is generated from information provided by the Seller and that Antiquorum confirms no ability or obligation to perform due diligence on any lot.

2. 安帝古倫作為代理人

除另有指明外，安帝古倫將作為賣家的代理人。因此，在拍賣會當時或之後簽訂的財產出售合同是由賣家和買家簽訂的。

3. 提供拍賣品

展示於拍賣目錄︰拍賣品均具備審慎編製的詳細說明，但安帝古倫對此一概不負責。

相片被視為拍賣品清晰可見特徵的一部分說明。安帝古倫的拍賣目錄、廣告或其他刊物所載物件／素材僅供顯示用途。

請注意，所有重要通知，特別是我們作出的所有陳述只是意見的陳述，在任何方面均不是可以依據的事實的陳述。此等陳述可以加入目錄中相關拍賣品的項目上，或加入狀況報告中，或以口頭或書面在其他地方作出。

安帝古倫所提及有關在拍賣目錄或狀況報告中的任何拍賣品的損壞或修復，僅供參考。在所有情況下均須由競投者或其代表親身進行評估。未提及任何損壞或修復情況並不表示拍賣品或其部分並無任何缺陷或曾經修復。標示拍賣品的某一缺陷並不代表其並不存在任何其他缺陷。所有的陳述均不構成安帝古倫的申述、保證或假設。

安帝古倫己在拍賣目錄中加入擬拍賣品之估計價值。這些估值是根據安帝古倫在該情況下全權酌情決定認為合適的專家、測試和其他方法而作出的。安帝古倫不會為拍賣品之估值負上任何責任，而參與拍賣之所有人士均有責任自行決定拍賣品之價值。估值不可被視作暗示拍賣品將以該價格出售，或在任何其他方面被視作價格的陳述。

安帝古倫及賣家就拍賣目錄或任何其他有關材料中的任何錯誤和遺漏的責任，僅限於以下第6條的規定，除此以外不承擔其他責任。

根據檢視所見︰於進行拍賣售賣之前及期間，所有拍賣品均可按照拍賣目錄編定的時間查驗。安帝古倫通常會應要求提供狀況報告。可是，如以上第1條所述，我們建議準買家在拍賣會前親自或委託代理人查驗有興趣之拍賣品。出席拍賣會及／或已在拍賣會之前檢視任何拍賣品的人士，及／或競投者的代表及競投代理人一概被理解為已查驗所購買的所有拍賣品，並接納拍賣品的狀況是於敲槌作實時的狀況，而不一定是按照說明所述。因此，所有拍賣品均以拍賣官敲槌作實一刻的「現況」出售。有興趣人士必須親自查驗拍賣品，確定其實際狀況，及斷定有否任何物品是經修理或修復的。買家承認買家有責任在競投前全面查驗每一件拍賣品，並特此聲明，任何拍賣品的競投價均完全基於買家自行對該拍賣品作出的獨立檢查和估值。
除本售賣條款所述明外，有關拍賣並無任何其他各類擔保。除第6條所規定外，對於任何拍賣品的任何缺陷或損毀、或所提供有關任何物品的作者、製作者、來源、年代、年期、特徵、真確性、出處、重量或狀況的任何精確性或標示情況，僅作為代理人的安帝古倫或賣家一概不負責。此外，安帝古倫僱員一概無權提供任何各類擔保。
買家、競投者和安帝古倫的各自責任、崗位及職責
- 買家有獨有責任檢查和確認是否滿意任何拍賣品的狀況及任何拍賣目錄說明。
- 競投者／買家承認其有責任親自或委託代理人查驗及調查其有興趣之任何及所有拍賣品，並知道及清楚安帝古倫對各拍賣品的認識是基於賣家提供的資料，且安帝古倫確認並無能力或責任對任何拍賣品進行盡職調查。
- 安帝古倫接受任何拍賣會上的競投，是基於競投者和其聘用的任何代理人已在競投前，由競投者自行負擔費用查驗拍賣品，並滿意其狀況及拍賣目錄說明的準確性。在各種情況下，所有拍賣品均可在出售前供競投者查驗。

狀況報告就拍賣品的某一特定方面所作出的提述，不得被視為其未向買家指出任何特定缺陷或其他故障的不可推翻及排他性提述。拍賣目錄和狀況報告的說明僅作識別用途，並不可被依賴作實際情況；因實際情況須以拍賣品出售時的狀況為依歸。
任何估值均不可被視作任何拍賣品的售價或價值，而所有估值均可隨時由安帝古倫全權酌情決定更改。據此，參與競投的買家接受任何估值均為安帝古倫的真實意見的陳述，而非承諾或擔保。
安帝古倫或賣家均不會對任何拍賣品作出任何版權的保證或陳述。
買家接受拍賣目錄及狀況報告中的拍賣品說明，均由安帝古倫以拍賣官身份以合理審慎態度，依據賣家所提供的資料作出。

4. 拍賣競投

安帝古倫有全權酌情權、且在毋須給予任何理由的情況下拒絕任何人士進入會場或參與任何拍賣會、拒絕任何競投、自行劃分任何一件或多件拍賣品、將任何兩件或多件的拍賣品合併、及撤回售賣任何一件或多件拍賣品。拍賣會將以英語進行。安帝古倫可以以底價以下的價錢開始任何拍賣品的競投。至於已訂定底價的情況，安帝古倫亦可代表賣家競投。這些情況的賣家被視為買家，由拍賣官透過連續出價或回應其他競投者出價來代為出價競投，直至已達底價為止。

拍賣官可酌情決定不表示其正作出此行動；而無論其他競投者有否出價，拍賣官也可以作出此行動。如出價未能達至賣家訂定的底價，拍賣官將敲槌一下，開始拍賣下一件拍賣品。首次出價的價位由拍賣官自行酌情決定。

按次訂定遞增競投價位的幅度在5 % 至10 % 之間，但拍賣官可自行酌情修改此遞增率。

給予安帝古倫競投指示的競投者可預先作出替代的要約及／或限制其總支出。標上「買 ( BUY)」的競投，被視為不多於顯示之估值的十倍價格。競投出價必須以拍賣會舉行地點的當地貨幣作出。以其他貨幣作出的競投價將按照安帝古倫進行有關拍賣當日的市場匯率兌換為當地貨幣。競投於拍賣期起最少60天內有效。安帝古倫保留權利在該60天期間內向買家發出發票，欠款即付。安帝古倫保證迅速執行其收到的競投指示。安帝古倫只接受事先以書面提出的更改競投指示。

有意在拍賣會競投的人士必須在有關拍賣前通知安帝古倫，讓安帝古倫認識競投者，競投者將獲發一個可辨識的競投號碼。至於有意透過電話競投的人士，最遲須於拍賣日最少兩個工作天之前通知安帝古倫。安帝古倫不認識的人士，可能會被要求最遲須於拍賣日最少兩個工作天之前，就其競投提供財務抵押。基於賣家利益，拍賣官有權拒絕將任何拍賣品判給任何未經確定的人士或已知的不良債務人。

競投前註冊有意競投人士須預先親身註冊，方可進入拍賣廳參與競投。他們須在拍賣當日拍賣開始前30 分鐘，到拍賣廳註冊或在網上有效地註冊。準買家須填妥及簽署安帝古倫的標準註冊表格，註冊參與競投，所有準買家並須在競投前提供令安帝古倫滿意的身份證明文件。安帝古倫按其酌情權，可能會要求有意競投人士記錄付款之銀行詳情及提供額外的財政資料作參考。分別地及獨立地，安帝古倫亦可能會要求有意競投人士支付安帝古倫認為合適的按金，作為允許準買家進行競投的先決條件。除非另有約定，否則高價拍賣品（由安帝古倫全權酌情決定）只可由已在競投前完成註冊在高價拍賣品類別的準買家競投。

競投者作為委託人或代理人競投者可在開始拍賣前以書面形式與安帝古倫作出明文協議，競投者只作為一個已確定的第三方委託人的代理人，並須得到安帝古倫的接受方為有效。此協議可包括同意安帝古倫只會向委託人而非代理人追收款項。如無以上書面協議，則競投者接受作出競投可為競投者本身產生、帶來及招致支付購買價格及所有適用稅款及所有其他適用費用的個人責任。

委托投標

委託投標表格載於拍賣目錄內。僅為方便未能親身或委託代理人或以電話出席拍賣會的競投者，安帝古倫接受並執行在拍賣會前交付的委託投標表格。如安帝古倫就同一特定拍賣品收到不同競投者的同價格的委託投標，而該價格是該拍賣品的最高出價，則投得拍賣品的競投者，將為其填妥的委託投標表格較先由安帝古倫接收及接受的一位競投者。

在適當的情況下，委託投標將向下調整至最接近的金額，以致與拍賣官的競投遞增額一致。然而，所有買家均接受，安帝古倫的委託投標服務是一項免費服務，其須受限於安帝古倫在拍賣時間的任何其他承諾。對於未能執行委託投標，或執行委託投標時的錯誤和遺漏，安帝古倫不會承擔任何責任。

電話投標

電話投標的通話內容可能會被記錄。在任何拍賣進行前經安帝古倫同意，可安排致電準買家讓其透過電話參與投標。但買家接受，安帝古倫不會就未能聯絡進行電話投標，或進行電話投標時的錯誤和遺漏，承擔任何責任。

網上投標

在符合安帝古倫所制訂的現有適當安排的情況下，安帝古倫可向買家提供網上投標作為額外的免費服務，風險由買家獨自承擔。安帝古倫將以合理審慎態度處理任何此等網上投標，惟其須受限於安帝古倫在拍賣時間的任何其他承諾。在任何情況下，安帝古倫均不會就未能在網上投標而負責，而網上投標在任何時候均必須符合安帝古倫的網站上所載之條款（如有）或因應要求而提供的條款列印本。

貨幣換算

在某些拍賣中，安帝古倫只在拍賣廳的屏幕上顯示貨幣換算工具。安帝古倫不會為貨幣換算器操作上的任何錯誤，或顯示的換算數據準確性負上任何責任。就任何拍賣品而言唯一有意義的數字是在拍賣廳中以出售貨幣作出的實際競投價格。

視頻或數碼影像

如安帝古倫在任何拍賣會上提供任何拍賣品的視頻或數碼影像，安帝古倫將不會為影像播放的操作或顯示質素負上任何責任。

安帝古倫保留權利就任何拍賣會程序進行拍攝或錄音。

藉拍攝或錄影方式製作的紀錄中的任何個人資料將由安帝古倫保密地持有，但安帝古倫可以為對任何此等參與方作出客戶分析的目的，使用此等個人資料或將之告知任何安帝古倫聯營公司及營銷合作夥伴；安帝古倫亦可使用此等個人資料，以令安帝古倫的服務質素和範圍符合拍賣買家市場的要求。

如有任何買家或準買家不希望以此方式被拍攝或錄影，他們可以根據以上第4.7條與安帝古倫安排以電話作出投標。

底價

拍賣品可以不設拍賣底價。任何此等拍賣品須在目錄中加以標示及識別，並在拍賣品估值一欄下註明免責聲明「售賣不設拍賣底價」。如出現無人競投之情況，拍賣官可酌情決定採用拍賣品的較低拍賣估值，並以該價值之50%為起點開始叫價。如無人回應該開首叫價，拍賣官可酌情決定把叫價調低，直至有人競投，此後拍賣官可從該價格起繼續提高叫價以拍賣商品。除非有人提出更高叫價，否則拍賣官可酌情決定在較低拍賣估值的少於50%或如較高，在較低拍賣估值的50% 之價格作出委託投標。

除非另有指明，否則所有拍賣品均設有底價。如叫價未達到底價，拍賣官可以撤回售賣拍賣品。底價不應超過目錄中顯示的較低估值。

拍賣官的酌情權

在拍賣期間或之後，拍賣官擁有絕對及唯一權酌情權作出以下行動：

在出現錯誤或爭議時，確定成功競投者或繼續競投或取消拍賣或重新拍賣及以其可作出的任何價格轉售有爭議的拍賣品；
拒絕或接受任何競投或提高叫價或撤回或劃分任何拍賣品或將任何兩件或多件拍賣品合併或重新拍賣拍賣品或作出其認為適合的其他行動。

如果拍賣後出現任何爭議，安帝古倫的拍賣紀錄將為確證。

5. 拍賣

安帝古倫的權利︰安帝古倫擁有完全和絕對酌情權撤回、另行組合、劃分、或拒絕敲槌落實任何一件拍賣品，並不須為此負上任何負責。安帝古倫保留權利，自行酌情拒絕任何競投指示及／或拒絕讓任何人士進入拍賣廳。對於可能在拍賣處所發生的任何人身意外，安帝古倫一概不負責。
競投者代表及競投代理人︰任何代表第三方競投的人士，對於其本身源自本拍賣所引起的任何義務，須負起全部責任。這責任尤其適用於核實所購買拍賣品的狀況及支付所購買的拍賣品售價。
創立及締結合約：所有競投均被視為要約，並受本售賣條款所限。在敲槌落實一刻，買家和賣家之間的合約將確立；在該一刻起買家有責任支付購買價格，而在該一刻之後買家無權撤回其接受任何拍賣品的競投價格。每一件拍賣品均代表各賣家出售予出價最高的競投者。

除售賣價格和任何適用的稅款和費用，買家須支付買家佣金，計算方法如下：買家須就每一件拍賣品首8,500,000港元支付售賣價格的25%的佣金﹑8,500,001至42,500,000港元支付20%佣金﹑ 超出42 , 500 , 001 港元支付15%佣金。任何一件（或多件）拍賣品一經敲槌作實，其有關風險、責任和法律責任，根據第5 . 5 條轉移至投標獲接納的競投者，但拍賣品之所有權並不同時轉移至投標獲接納的競投者。

拍賣品將於購買價格已全額支付，而買家已符合所有其他適用的售賣條款之時，交付予買家。

拍賣品之所有權將於安帝古倫已完成收妥購買價格和買家向安帝古倫及任何安帝古倫聯營公司所欠之所有款項後，方轉移至買家。

安帝古倫可使用其持有的任何按金支付須由買家或任何第三方或買家的委託人向安帝古倫或任何安帝古倫聯營公司支付的任何類型及金額的買家欠款，按金用以支付以上款項後如有餘款，將退還予買家。

無論買家是否希望把拍賣品出口至拍賣地以外的地區而需要該地區的有關當局發出的出口許可證；如買家親身出席拍賣，則必須以當地貨幣、根據安帝古倫接受的付款方式支付購買價格，以及所有其他適用的銷售稅及其他稅。

安帝古倫亦可自行酌情接受以外幣付款，並按照安帝古倫決定之付款日期當日的市場中間價格的匯率兌換。投得的拍賣品可能需要清關而延遲交付。透過郵遞成功競投的競投者，及親身出席而已明確協定可於有關售賣後付款的買家，在收到拍賣發票時須立即支付購買價格；在此等情況下，將由安帝古倫保管投得的拍賣品，並於有關款項完全清付後交付給買家。如買家作出指示，要求以郵遞或其他方式交付所購買的拍賣品，則須由買家自行負責運費，包括通常的貨運保險費用。

買家特此明確授權安帝古倫收取任何未付發票中的任何部分金額，包括向安帝古倫欠下的佣金、行政費和手續費，此權利於拍賣後第三十天起可以行使。除發票上所載的總購買價格和額外金額外，買家須支付根據拍賣辦事處訂立的費率計算的任何額外行政和手續費。

領取購買品

除非另有書面約定，否則買家或其代理人必須向安帝古倫全額支付購買價格和所有其他款項，以向買家交付已購買的所有拍賣品。

在全額付款後，安帝古倫將安排包裝、保險和運送該等拍賣品，所有風險由買家獨自承擔負責，並免除和解除安帝古倫任何此等拍賣品的損失或損壞的責任。安帝古倫保留權利把任何拍賣品移至別處的存儲設施中，風險由買家承擔。

直至買家按情況而定已履行由安帝古倫全權酌情決定的任何未完成的買家責任，安帝古倫有權保留所有已售商品，包括完成任何反洗黑錢和反恐怖主義融資的檢查；或安帝古倫或安帝古倫聯營公司已全額收妥所有欠款。如買家沒有完成反洗黑錢和反恐怖主義融資的檢查以令安帝古倫完全滿意，安帝古倫有權廢止和取消出售，並採取任何其他必要的或法律下允許的行動。在符合以上條件的情況下，除非安帝古倫與買家之間另有書面約定，否則買家將在拍賣日後三十個公曆日內領取已購買之拍賣品。在拍賣日後三十個公曆日起，安帝古倫將就每一件未領取的拍賣品收取每月存儲費用。

任何已購買的拍賣品的風險及責任，須在買家領取拍賣品之日或拍賣後第七個公曆日中的較早日期轉移至買家。在風險轉移前，如任何拍賣品有任何損失或損壞，安帝古倫將賠償買家不多於購買價格的金額，惟受限於本售賣條款中所述的安帝古倫免責範圍。

處理、包裝及運送任何拍賣品的責任安帝古倫不會為任何第三方的行為或遺漏負責，無論該第三方是由安帝古倫聘請，還是由買家要求的其他獨立已確立承辦商、包裝商或運送商。
出入口許可證

安帝古倫或賣家不得就任何拍賣品是否受限於任何地區的任何類型的出口或入口限制作出或在任何情況下被視為作出任何陳述或保證。即使延遲或無法獲得任何此等許可證，亦不會構成撤銷售賣或延遲支付相關拍賣品全額款項的理由。安帝古倫不會為未能完成或提交所需出入口貨單、裝箱單或文件而負責。

除非安帝古倫另有書面約定，否則安帝古倫將有權在應買家要求協助買家申請出口許可證時收取費用，但即使申請出口許可證時有所延遲，亦不會影響買家須在拍賣後七天內付款之責任，以及安帝古倫在買家延遲支付購買價格時收取利息或存儲費用的權利。如需要出口許可證，而買家已付款，則安帝古倫沒有責任撤銷任何出售或退還由買家引起的任何利息或其他費用。

延遲付款：如安帝古倫於拍賣後30天內並無收到付款，買家隨即喪失其所有權利，安帝古倫可因而採取一切適當步驟，保障其本身及／或賣家的利益，包括申索損害賠償及利息。安帝古倫亦可聲明放棄執行有關售賣、申索損害賠償及利息，並視本身不再受到合約條款的約束，以保障其本身的利益。

安帝古倫將就每一個案，對於所有到期未付的款額及所有到期應付的附加損害賠償，向延遲付款人按月收取1.5%的利息。延遲付款超過30天的買家同意，安帝古倫可撤銷有關售賣及收取一筆算定損害賠償，其金額應等於如有關售賣在正常情況完成後，安帝古倫原本應可賺取的買家佣金及賣家佣金。

買家還須賠償所有損害及支付按月收取的1 . 5 %利息，直至最终完全付清為止。對於延遲付款或買家獲得特別信貸融通的個案，安帝古倫明確地毋須對因而引致或招致已購買拍賣品的任何遺失、出現變化或受損負起任何責任。

除安帝古倫宣稱其在法律下及在不損害上述第 5.8條和下述第5.9條的情況下所擁有的任何權利或補救外，安帝古倫在買家未能在本售賣條款所要求的時間內支付全額款項時，有絕對酌情權行使以下任何一項或多項額外的權利或補救措施：-

（包括重新塗油或塗上覆蓋色），而在任何方面而言被當作贗品。

安帝古倫不會對拍賣目錄中以粗體或大寫字形式顯示的內容以外的任何內容，作出明示或暗示的保證，惟受本條款中的豁免範圍所限。安帝古倫不保證任何手錶中的所有零件均為原裝零件。

就本條款而言，「特徵」指並延伸至對以下方面作出的任何聲明或言論：作者、製作者、重量、狀況、真確性、出處、年期、年代、文學或歷史意義、展覽展示歷史、重要性、稀有度、狀況、質素、大小、說明或任何方面的可商銷性或對某特定用途的適用性。

就本條款中所定義之任何拍賣品特徵的任何方面，並沒有任何類型的陳述、保證、擔保或責任承擔，而賣家或安帝古倫或其任何職員、僱員或代理人亦不會為就任何拍賣品的特徵而以書面或口頭作出的任何類型的任何陳述的正確性負責，亦不會為任何說明中的其他錯誤或遺漏負責，無論該錯誤或遺漏是因疏忽或其他原因造成，亦不會為任何拍賣品的任何故障或缺陷負責，無論該故障或缺陷是否因為安帝古倫或安帝古倫聯營公司向競投者提供的特徵或其他資料而引起。安帝古倫不會為其在任何拍賣會過程中的行為或遺漏（無論其是因疏忽還是其他原因造成）或由出售任何拍賣品所引起之任何事宜，而對任何競投者負責。

保證並不適用於以下情況：(ⅰ)該目錄中的說明與出售當天的公認的專家及專業人士意見一致，或目錄中的說明指出該等意見中有衝突；(ⅱ)如正確識別任何拍賣品必須依靠目錄出版當天仍未通行或未為市場接受使用及應用的程序或有根據的意見來證明，或取得該程序或有根據的意見在所有情況下均為不合理地昂貴或不切實際，或取得該程序或有根據的意見將會或可能會對拍賣品造成任何類型的損壞，則即使該拍賣品的價值有任何損失或視為的損失，亦毋須負責；或(ⅲ)不管任何錯誤的特徵描述或疏忽作出的任何類型的說明，亦沒有對相關拍賣品之價值造成重大的損失，即使其價格如同根據該說明而作出。
保證是為相關拍賣會日期起一（1）年內提供，並完全是為了紀錄中的原買家的利益而設。原買家必須（ⅰ）在收到使紀錄中的原買家質疑粗體或大寫字標題的準確性的任何資料的90天內，以書面通知安帝古倫，並列明拍賣品編號、購買拍賣品之拍賣會日期及提出質疑之原因；及（ⅱ）將拍賣品以出售給紀錄中的原買家時的原來狀態，歸還至安帝古倫原來的銷售地點，並能轉移拍賣品的妥善所有權，不帶有任何由出售當日起出現的任何第三方申索。
安帝古倫可酌情豁免上述任何要求。特別被理解及同意的是，撤銷出售和退回原本已付之購買價格（成功售賣價格加買家佣金）是安帝古倫的唯一及排他性的補救措施，並取代買家在法律或衡平法上可能擁有的任何其他補救措施。安帝古倫和賣家均不須承擔任何特殊、附帶或相應產生或聲稱的損害或損失，包括但不限於損失利潤或利息。除上述的有限的保證和擔保規定外，安帝古倫和賣家均不對在本條款下出售的拍賣品作出任何陳述、保證或擔保。
只有在安帝古倫的出售及拍賣後發出的發票上所載之拍賣品原買家，可享有本售賣條款下的保證權益，而買家不得轉讓此權益。為享用此保證，買家必須在其向安帝古倫或任何安帝古倫聯營公司在保證下提出申索之時仍為拍賣品之擁有人。第三方無權在本條款中的保證下提出申索。
安帝古倫的一般政策訂明，安帝古倫有權要求買家自費索取由安帝古倫和買家同意的業內兩位獨立及公認專家的書面意見，安帝古倫方可決定是否取消保證下的出售。安帝古倫不會受由買家製作或委託製作之任何報告在表面上約束。安帝古倫保留權利自費索取額外的專家意見。如安帝古倫藉此擔保決定撤消出售，安帝古倫可能會把索取最多兩個雙方批准的獨立專家製作的報告的合理成本，退還予買家。
