2.4 Any notification by the Agent that the Vendor is willing to sell goods by private treaty is an invitation to treat. Each offer for goods by the Buyer to the Agent shall be deemed to be an offer by the Buyer to purchase goods subject to these conditions and the terms of the Special Conditions or such other special conditions offered by the Buyer and expressly agreed by the Agent in writing.

2.5 No offer made by an offer or shall be deemed to be accepted by the Agent until an oral acceptance or written acknowledgement is issued by the Agent.

3: Inspection and Description
3.1 Buyers have a responsibility to make their own inspection and investigation of the goods at the time(s) and at the premises specified, and to satisfy themselves on all matters affecting the goods, and to inspect and satisfy themselves prior to the sale, as to the condition and description of the goods, its fitness and suitability for purpose.

3.2 Goods are believed to be correctly described but all goods are sold with all faults, imperfections and errors of description.

4: Limitation of Liability
4.1 Neither the Vendor nor the Agents, their servants or agents shall be liable for any loss or damage suffered by the Buyer arising out of or in connection with any defects or deficiencies in any of the goods purchased, errors of description in the auction catalogue, any mis-statements as to any matter affecting the goods or the failure of the goods to fulfill the functions for which they were intended

4.2 The Agent’s and the Vendor’s total liability for breach of contract or negligence is limited to the price paid for the goods.

4.3 Neither the Agents nor the Vendor shall be liable for any indirect or consequential loss or damage (whether for loss of profit, loss of business or otherwise) incurred by the Buyer whatsoever.
4.4 Nothing in these conditions excludes or limits the liability of the Agents or Vendor for death or personal injury caused by their negligence or fraudulent misrepresentation.

4.5 Nothing in these conditions shall prejudice the statutory rights of a consumer who shall be bound by these conditions only insofar as they are consistent with such statutory rights.

7. Insurance
As from the date and time of the contract being made, all risks in and relating to the goods shall pass to the Buyer and the Buyer is strongly advised to effect insurance for these risks at once.

Payment shall not be deemed to have been made until the Agent is in receipt of cash or cleared funds.

9: Title
The Vendor shall only sell such title to the goods as he may have. Neither the Agent nor the Vendor warrants the Vendor’s good title to any of the goods, and if it is found that the Vendor does not have title, or unencumbered title, to any of the goods purported to be sold under these conditions, the Buyer expressly agrees that it shall have no right either to rescind this contract or to claim damages or a reduction in the consideration paid or payable under this contract.
Title to the goods will not pass until:

All electrical installations must be left in a safe condition during and after the removal and the use of explosives or flame cutting equipment or any other potentially hazardous or inflammatory process shall not be permissible on the premises without the express written consent of the Agent.

The Buyer shall indemnify the Agent for any damage or loss which the Agent may suffer in respect of loss, damage or injury suffered by the Buyer’s agents or employees or any third party arising from the removal. At their discretion the Agent may require payment of a deposit to the Agent prior to and/or during the removal which will be refunded on the removal being completed to the Agent’s satisfaction. If the Buyer refuses to deposit such monies, the Vendor or the Agent may refuse the Buyer access to the premises for the purposes of the removal of the goods and/or rescind the sale in which event the provisions of Condition 12 will apply. The Agent reserves the right to stop the removal of the goods by a Buyer, his agents or employees if it appears to the Agent or its agents or employees that the removal is being carried on in an unsafe or unsatisfactory way and/or rescind the sale in which event clause 12 will apply
