3. Bids are definitive. Written bids must be received by us 24 hours before the start of the auction, preferably by e-mail. You will always receive a confirmation of receipt. In the case of equal orders, the first order received takes precedence. Written bids must be equal to our applicable bidding steps listed under point 2, any rounding will be done to the nearest bidding step. We will treat your bids as if you were in the room bidding. Live online bidding is possible with us at no extra cost. You must register well in advance via our website www.npv.nl. Commercially, we are a public auction that offers the opportunity to bid online. The auctioneer is not responsible for damage as a result of failed online bids, complaints on this are not possible.
4. The highest bidder is the buyer; if there is any doubt between two or more bidders, the sale will or will not be put on the table again in the opinion of the auctioneer. We do not do after sales.
5. The auctioneer has the right to combine or split lots, to deviate from the order of the auction numbers and not to put up for auction material whose sale has been announced. The auctioneer is not liable for erroneous descriptions in the auction catalogue, towards the consigner or the buyer. Not even for wrong statements to either of them.
6. The auctioneer reserves the right to withhold allocation to undesirable persons or to refuse them access to the sales room.
7. The right of ownership of the purchased item transfers to the buyer upon payment, the risk with the surcharge.
8. All lots are sold as they were put up for auction. The authenticity and quality (except for items that are in collections, remnants, booklets, boxes, etc.) are guaranteed. In the unlikely event that an item, whose authenticity is guaranteed, is not found to be genuine by a generally recognized expert, the entire lot will be taken back for the full purchase price up to 14 days after the auction has ended. The quality of the stamps is described to the best of our knowledge. Any complaints about this will be reported to us within 14 days after the auction has ended and can only be processed if the lots are described as unc, MNH, beautiful ex. and the like and contain no more than 5 items. This advertising period can be extended if more time is needed for inspection, the auctioneer must be informed of this within 14 days after the auction. In all advertisements, the items must be returned in the same condition in which they were sold.
9. When in the catalogue it is stated: “mostly” this means the majority of the catalogue value. The photo is decisive for colour, perforation, centering and the like and advertisements in this regard will not be accepted.
10. If the buyer remains in default, the auctioneer is entitled, and the buyer obliged, to pay an interest of 1.0% per commenced month, possibly increased by the costs incurred by the auctioneer. The auctioneer may also re-sale the purchased goods at the expense and expense of the purchaser, subject to interest and the usual sales commission, in its next auction, in the same manner and under the same conditions as stated above, without it being necessary for the negligent purchaser to order or other similar deed, so that he is in default by the mere expiry of the specified period, while all rights of the buyer after he is in default with payment are nullified and the new auction can take place without that it is necessary to claim any dissolution in rights. The costs, damages and interest incurred by such new sale must be reimbursed by the defaulting buyer within eight days of the cost, damage and interest being stated, while the benefit of larger proceeds will be enjoyed by the auction house.
11. Everyone is considered to have bought for himself. The buyer will therefore never be able to rely on a principal.
12. Disputes between the auctioneer and the buyer will in the first instance be settled by the competent court in Amsterdam, on the understanding that the auctioneer has the right, on its part, to sue the buyer before the court that is competent for the buyer's domicile.
13. Anyone who views a collection is expected to return a viewed stamp to the place where it belongs and with the image side first. Persons who replace seals incorrectly or vice versa will be held accountable for this.
