3.1 BLH has the right as its sole discretion to refuse any bid, to divide any Lot, to combine two or more Lots, to withdraw any Lot and, in the case of dispute, to put any Lot up for Auction again.

3.2 If BLH is notified about the Seller's alleged breach of any of the Terms before it has remitted the Sale Proceeds to the Seller, it may at its sole discretion withhold payment until that dispute is resolved. BLH may, however, deduct any sums that are due to it from the sum held.

5. LOTS

5.3 It is for any potential bidder to satisfy themselves as to each and every aspect of a Lot, including its originality, authorship, condition, provenance, history, background, authenticity, style, period, age, suitability, quality, roadworthiness (if relevant), origin, value and estimated selling price (including the Hammer Price), via the information provided online. No description of a lot carries with it an implication that it is fit for any particular purpose.

5.4 Each Lot is sold by its respective Seller to the Buyer. Lots are sold to the Buyer on an "as is" basis, with all faults and imperfections.

5.5 The actual condition of a Lot may not be as good as its outward appearance suggests. In particular, parts may have been replaced or renewed and those parts may not be original or of "Satisfactory Quality'. The inside of a lot may not be visible where, for example, it is covered by upholstery or material, and may not be original or may be damaged, have been damaged or poorly repaired. Given the age of some Lots, no assumption should be made with regard to any aspect of their condition.

5.10 The copyright in all written matter and illustrations relating to Lots shall remain at all times the absolute property of BLH, and any person wishing to use such materials, or any part of them, may only do so with the prior written consent of BLH.

6.2 The Lot is available to view via the information provided online, and any potential bidders must form their own opinion in relation to it.

6.3 BLH gives no warranty or representation as to the anticipated or likely selling price of any Lot. Any estimate given, whether written or oral and whether or not contained in any Catalogue, as to the estimated selling price of any Lot is a statement of opinion only and may be subject to revision from time to time at BLH's sole discretion and should not be relied upon as an indication of the actual selling price.

6.4 BLH shall not be liable to the Seller for any error or misstatement in or omission from the description of any lot in any Catalogue where BLH has:

6.4.1 been provided with such description by the Seller or any person on his behalf; or

6.4.2 provided the Seller with a copy of such description prior to publication of the Catalogue and neither the Seller nor any person on his behalf has notified BLH in writing within a reasonable time before the Auction of any error or misstatement in or omission from the description.

6.5 BLH has no duty to the Seller or the Buyer to investigate the accuracy of the description of any Lot provided by or on behalf of the Seller.

If the Lot is subject to finance the amount outstanding must be confirmed prior to consignment and sale.

7.1.2 The description of the Lot in the Catalogue is to the best of the Seller's knowledge accurate and not misleading. The Seller has notified (or will before the Auction notify) BLH in writing of any material alterations to the Lot of which the Seller is aware and of any concerns expressed by third parties in relation to the authenticity, provenance, origin, age, condition, or quality of the Lot and has provided BLH with all such information in the Seller's possession or control.

7.1.3 The Seller shall compensate BLH and the Buyer in full for all losses, expenses and other costs which are caused by the Seller's breach of any obligation of the Seller under the Terms.

8. VEHICLE REGISTRATION NUMBERS

8.1 If the Seller wishes to sell the Motor Vehicle but to retain the right to the registration number of the Motor Vehicle it is the Seller's Responsibility to notify BLH in writing.

8.2 It shall be the Seller's responsibility to complete the retention documentation prior to sale and offer the Motor Vehicle with a new V5c and allocated registration from the DVLA prior to the Motor Vehicle being sold at the Auction whether or not BLH volunteers its services to effect that, and no liability shall attach to BLH in respect to any act or omission as a result.

9. BIDDING AND RESERVES

9.1 In order to bid in the auction, potential buyers must register for either a telephone or commission bid by completing the relevant forms and ID requirements or register via an online bidding portal.

You will be required to pay a returnable deposit of £500 minimum in order to bid online

9.2.2 Buyers should ensure they have the necessary funds available to pay before bidding.

9.3 The Auction will be conducted in line with the online bidding portal and telephone and commission bidding rules in place at the time.

9.4 A Contract of Sale is made between the Seller and Buyer on the acceptance of a bid by the fall of the Auctioneers hammer. BLH is not a party to the Contract. The Buyer will be liable to pay the Purchase Price, which is the Hammer Price plus Buyers Premium and any applicable VAT to BLH. At the same time the Seller will be liable to pay to BLH the Seller's Commission plus any applicable VAT on the Lot at the rate as set out in clause 10 below.

9.5 The Seller may place a Reserve on any Lot when he consigns it to the Auction, and once placed it may not be changed without the written consent of BLH. All Lots will be sold without Reserve unless a Reserve has been agreed by BLH in writing.

9.6 Where a Reserve has been agreed, only BLH at its absolute discretion may bid on behalf of the Seller.

9.7 If no Reserve has been placed on a Lot, BLH shall in no way be held liable should the Lot be purchased for a price below any lowest estimated selling price of the Lot given in any Catalogue.

9.8 BLH may sell a Lot below the Reserve agreed with the Seller, provided that BLH accounts to the Seller for the same Sale Proceeds as the Seller would have received had the Lot been sold at that Reserve.

10. COMMISSION AND EXPENSES

10.1 BLH shall be entitled to deduct from the Hammer Price and retain an amount equal to 6% plus VAT of the Hammer Price for Motor Vehicles and for 15% for automobilia and lifestyle goods or such other sum agreed by BLH in writing together with Expenses and any other sums due from the Seller to BLH.

10.2 The Seller acknowledges BLH's right to retain the Buyer's Premium payable by the Buyer.

11. INSURANCE

11.1 Only on payment of the Purchase Price in cleared funds shall title in the Lot pass from the Seller to the Buyer. However, the risk in the Lot passes to the Buyer as soon as the Lot is sold to the Buyer. The Lot is sold when the highest bid is accepted via the online bidding platform. It is therefore the responsibility of the Seller to insure the Lot before the Lot is sold and the responsibility of the Buyer to insure the Lot after the Lot is sold.

11.2 BLH will not be responsible for any damage to or the loss or destruction of a Lot unless caused by the negligence of or other breach of duty by BLH, its employees or agents in the ordinary course of their duties to BLH and the Seller shall compensate BLH in full in respect of all other claims and proceedings brought against BLH in respect of any loss or damage to or destruction of the Lot.

11.3 BLH will not be liable for any injury, loss or damage caused by any Lot or by the Seller's negligence, or that of the Seller's employees or agents in the ordinary course of their duties to BLH. The Seller shall compensate BLH in full in respect of all claims and proceedings brought against BLH in respect of injury, loss or damage caused by any Lot or by the Seller's negligence or breach of any obligation under the Terms.

12. PAYMENT OF SALE PROCEEDS

12.1 Subject to BLH's right of retention under Clause 3.2 and other provisions of this Clause 12, BLH shall pay the Sale Proceeds to the Seller not later than 14 Working Days after the Auction provided that the Purchase Price has been received in full by BLH and the Lot has been delivered to BLH. Unless an alternative method of payment has been agreed by BLH in writing, payment shall be made by telegraphic transfer. In the event of an unsettled hire purchase, finance agreement or any other charge or lien affecting the Lot BLH reserves the right to settle the amount due of such charges not exceeding the Sale Proceeds and if the Sale Proceeds are less than the charges outstanding the Seller will be responsible for the settlement of the balance forthwith.

12.3 In respect of road registered Motor Vehicles, BLH reserves the right not to remit the Sale Proceeds to the Seller unless the Seller has deposited with BLH the registration document of the Motor Vehicle, and any other documents relating to the Motor Vehicle in the Seller's possession or control which he agreed with BLH to supply.

12.4 If the Buyer fails to pay the Purchase Price within 28 days of the Auction, BLH will notify the Seller who may instruct BLH as to the appropriate course of action. BLH may endeavour to assist the Seller, but BLH shall be under no obligation to do so, and shall not be under any obligation to institute proceedings in its own name.

12.7 Expenses;

12.7.1 the Buyer's Premium and the Seller's Commission on the sale of the Lot;

12.7.3 If within 7 days after receipt of the notice referred to in clause 12.5 the Seller informs BLH that he wishes re-delivery of the Lot, he shall be entitled to do so but only upon prior payment of all Expenses and all legal and other costs reasonably incurred by BLH so as to keep BLH fully recompensed.

13. WITHDRAWAL

13.1. The Seller may by notice in writing to BLH withdraw the Lot from the Auction. In the event of such withdrawal, the Seller shall within 14 days of withdrawal pay BLH the sums set out in this Condition 13. All such sums shall be payable to BLH as remuneration for the services performed by BLH down to the date of withdrawal, and not by way of penalty or liquidated damages.

13.2 In all cases of withdrawal, the Seller shall be liable to pay BLH 15% of the mid estimate value of the Lot, notwithstanding that commission of a lesser, or no, amount had previously been agreed, to reflect the time, effort, loss of publicity and buyer's premium suffered by BLH. In the event of a Lot having no reserve and therefore no estimate the Seller shall be liable to pay BLH 15% of the auctioneer's reasonable estimate. The fee shall be subject in each case to VAT and Expenses.

13.3. In the event that the Seller withdraws the Lot from the Auction, the Seller shall arrange for collection and removal of the Lot at his own expense within two working days after the date of withdrawal provided that the Seller may not collect the Lot unless and until any withdrawal fee payable under Conditions 13.1 and 13.2 shall have been paid in full.

17.4 Title to the Lot will pass to the Buyer only when the Purchase Price in cleared funds has been received by BLH.
