3. Duties of Bidders and of Replica Shoes ’s in respect of items for sale

(a) Replica Shoes ’s knowledge in relation to each Lot is partially dependent on information provided to it by the Seller, and Replica Shoes ’s is not able to and does not carry out exhaustive due diligence on each Lot. Bidders acknowledge this fact and accept responsibility for carrying out inspections and investigations to satisfy themselves as to the Lots in which they may be interested.

(b) Bidders acknowledge that many Lots are of an age and type which means that they are not in perfect condition. All Lots are offered for sale in

the condition they are in at the time of sale in the relevant Studio Sale. Any reference to condition in the Studio Sale Information will not amount to a full description of condition and the absence of any reference to the condition of a Lot in the online or other description does not imply that the Lot is free from faults or imperfections. Condition reports may be available to assist Bidders with assessing the condition of a Lot and are for guidance only. The online images, and if applicable, the images of the Lot in the PDF or printed catalogue form part of the condition report provided by Replica Shoes ’s. Certain images of the Lot may not accurately reflect the actual condition of the Lot. In particular, the images may represent colours and shades which are different to the Lot’s actual colour and shades. The Studio Sale Information and/or any condition report relating to the Lot may make reference to particular imperfections of the Lot but you should note that the Lot may have other faults not expressly referred to in the condition report for the Lot or shown in the online or PDF or printed images of the Lot. The condition report may not refer to all faults, restoration, alteration or adaptation because Replica Shoes ’s is not a professional conservator or restorer but rather the condition report is a statement of opinion genuinely held by Replica Shoes ’s. For that reason, Replica Shoes ’s condition report is not an alternative to taking your own professional advice regarding the condition of the Lot. Please note that all electrical and mechanical goods are sold on the basis of their artistic and decorative value only, and should not be assumed to be operative. It is essential that prior to any intended use, the electrical system for any Lot is checked and approved by a qualified electrician.

(c) Information provided to Bidders in respect of any Lot, including any estimate, whether written, online, or oral and including information presented online or in any online, PDF, or printed catalogue, condition or other report, commentary or valuation, is not a representation of fact but rather is a statement of opinion genuinely held by Replica Shoes ’s. Any estimate may not be relied on as a prediction of the selling price or value of the Lot and may be revised from time to time in Replica Shoes 's absolute discretion.

(d) No representations or warranties are made by Replica Shoes 's or the Seller as to whether any Lot is subject to copyright or whether the Buyer acquires copyright in any Lot.

(e) Subject to the matters referred to at 3(a) to 3(d) above and to the specific exclusions contained at Condition 4 below, Replica Shoes ’s shall exercise such reasonable care when making express statements in descriptions or condition reports for Lots as is consistent with its role as auctioneer of Lots in the sale to which these Conditions relate, and in the light of:

(i) the information provided to it by the Seller;

(ii) scholarship and technical knowledge; and

(iii) the generally accepted opinions of relevant experts, in each case at the time any such express statement is made.

4. Exclusions and limitations of liability to Buyers

(a) Sotheby’s shall refund the Purchase Price to the Buyer in circumstances where it deems that the Lot is a Counterfeit and each of the conditions of the Authenticity Guarantee has been satisfied.

(b) In the light of the matters in Condition 3 above and subject to Conditions 4(a) and 4(e), neither any Replica Shoes 's Company nor the Seller:

(i) is liable for any errors or omissions in information provided to Bidders by Replica Shoes ’s (or any Replica Shoes 's Company), whether orally or in writing, whether negligent or otherwise, except as set out in Condition 3(f) above;

(ii) gives any guarantee or warranty to Bidders and any implied warranties and conditions are excluded (save in so far as such obligations cannot be excluded by law) other than the express warranties given by the Seller to the Buyer in Condition 2 of the Sellers' Conditions of Business;

(iii) accepts responsibility to any Bidders in respect of acts or omissions (whether negligent or otherwise) by Replica Shoes ’s in connection with the conduct of auctions or for any matter relating to the sale of any Lot.

(c) Unless Replica Shoes ’s owns a Lot offered for sale, it is not responsible for any breach of these conditions by the Seller.

(d) Without prejudice to Condition 4(b), any claim against Replica Shoes ’s or the Seller by a Bidder is limited to the Purchase Price with regard to that Lot. Neither Replica Shoes ’s nor the Seller shall under any circumstances be liable for any consequential losses.

(e) None of this Condition 4 shall exclude or limit Replica Shoes ’s liability in respect of any fraudulent misrepresentation made by Replica Shoes ’s or the Seller, or in respect of death or personal injury caused by the negligent acts or omissions of Replica Shoes ’s or the Seller.

5. Bidding at Auction

(a) Bidders act as principal unless they have Replica Shoes 's prior written consent to bid as agent for another party. Bidders are personally liable for their bid and are jointly and severally liable with their principal if bidding as agent.

(b) Replica Shoes 's will seek to carry out absentee written bids which are in pounds sterling and, in Replica Shoes ’s opinion, clear and received sufficiently in advance of the sale of the Lot, endeavouring to ensure that the first received of identical written bids has priority.

(c) Written, telephone and online bids are offered as a service for no extra charge, at the Bidder's risk and shall be undertaken with reasonable care subject to Replica Shoes 's other commitments at the time of the auction; Replica Shoes ’s therefore cannot accept liability for failure to place such bids save where such failure is unreasonable. Telephone and online bids may be recorded. Online bids are made subject to the Conditions of Business for Live Online Bidding as listed below The Conditions of Business for Live Online Bidding apply in relation to online bids, in addition to these Conditions of Business.

6. Conduct of the Auction

(a) Unless otherwise specified, all Lots are offered subject to a Reserve, which shall be no higher than the low presale estimate at the time of the auction.

(b) The auctioneer has discretion at any time to refuse any bid, withdraw any Lot, re-offer a Lot for sale (including after the fall of the hammer) if he believes there may be error or dispute, and take such other action as he reasonably thinks fit.

(c) The auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding at levels and in increments he considers appropriate and is entitled to place a bid or series of bids on behalf of the Seller up to the Reserve on the Lot, without indicating he is doing so and whether or not other bids are placed.

(d) Subject to Condition 6(b), the contract between the Buyer and the Seller is concluded on the striking of the auctioneer's hammer, whereupon the Buyer becomes liable to pay the Purchase Price.

(e) Any post-auction sale of Lots offered at auction shall incorporate these Conditions as if sold in the auction.

7. Payment and Collection

(a) If you are a successful Buyer of a Lot, you will receive by email an invoice from Replica Shoes ’s as soon as reasonably practicable after the close of the Studio Sale. In the event of any discrepancy between notifications received by you and the invoice emailed to you by Replica Shoes ’s after the relevant Studio Sale closes, the invoice prevails. Terms and conditions regarding payment of the invoice are set out below.

(b) The invoice for the Purchase Price of the purchased Lot (the “Buyer’s Invoice”) which will include:

(i) the Hammer Price;

(ii) the Buyer’s Premium;

(i) the Overhead Premium;

(ii) any ARR; and

(vi) any other duties, goods, sales or service tax or VAT.

If you have purchased a Lot for delivery outside of the UK, you acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to ascertain and pay all international duties, custom charges, taxes, charges and tariffs owed to the appropriate government entity or that otherwise need to be paid prior to release or shipment.

(c) Replica Shoes ’s charges a Buyer’s Premium and Overhead Premium to the Buyer on the Hammer Price for each Lot sold. The amount of the Buyer’s Premium and Overhead Premium are set out in the Studio Sale Information.

(d) The Buyer of a Lot is solely responsible for the payment of any VAT (including, but not limited to, any import VAT), sales tax or value added sales tax, sales or compensating use tax or any other similar tax payable as a result of the sale of a Lot. Further information and guidance as to the application of such taxes is provided in the studio Sale Information.

(e) Without prejudice to Conditions 3 and 4 above, Replica Shoes 's and the Seller make no representations or warranties as to whether any Lot is or is not subject to export or import restrictions or any embargoes. The denial of any permit or licence shall not justify cancellation or rescission of the sale contract or any delay in payment.

(f) In certain countries, local laws entitle the artists or the artist’s estate to the ARR when any Lot created by the artist is sold. If these laws apply to a Lot, the Buyer must pay Replica Shoes ’s an additional amount equal to the ARR (unless the local law requires payment to be made by the Seller). Further information and guidance on the application of the ARR is provided in the Studio Sale Information.

(g) Unless otherwise agreed, payment of the total amount specified on the purchase invoice for a Lot is due by the Buyer immediately following receipt of the Replica Shoes ’s invoice for the relevant purchased Lot and in any event no later than 48 hours after receipt of the Replica Shoes ’s invoice (the "Due Date") notwithstanding any requirements for export, import or other permits for such Lot. Sotheby’s will only accept payment from the registered Bidder and we cannot change the Buyer’s name on an invoice or reissue the invoice in a name which differs to the name of the registered Bidder. If you are registered to bid as a company, your company will need to pay for any purchases in the name of the company via an accepted payment method. Partial payment of a Lot, or payment across multiple credit cards for a single Lot, is not permitted. Further information regarding accepted payment methods is set out in the Studio Sale Information.

(h) Title in a purchased Lot will not pass until Replica Shoes 's has received the total amounts due for that Lot in accordance with Condition 7(b) above in cleared funds. Sotheby's is not obliged to release a Lot to the Buyer until title in the Lot has passed and appropriate identification has been provided, and any earlier release does not affect the passing of title or the Buyer's unconditional obligation to pay the total amounts due for that Lot in accordance with Condition 7(b) above.

(h) If you fail to pay us the total amounts due for the purchased Lot(s) in accordance with Condition 7(b) above in full by the Due Date, Replica Shoes ’s will be entitled to exercise any of the remedies identified at Condition 8 below.

(i) The Buyer is obliged to arrange collection of purchased Lot(s) no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the date of the auction. Purchased Lots are at the Buyer's risk (and therefore their sole responsibility for insurance) from the earliest of i) collection or ii) the thirty-first calendar day after the auction. Until risk passes, Replica Shoes ’s will compensate the Buyer for any loss or damage to the Lot up to a maximum of the Purchase Price paid. Buyers should note that Replica Shoes 's assumption of liability for loss or damage is subject to the exclusions set out in Condition 6 of the Conditions of Business for Sellers.

(j) For all items stored by a third party and not available for collection from Replica Shoes 's premises, the supply of authority to release to the Buyer shall constitute collection by the Buyer.

(k) All packing and handling is at the Buyer's risk. Replica Shoes 's will not be liable for any acts or omissions of third party packers or shippers.

8. Remedies for non-payment

Without prejudice to any rights the Seller may have, if the Buyer without prior agreement fails to make payment for the Lot within five days of the auction, Replica Shoes 's may in its sole discretion (having informed the Seller) exercise one or more of the following remedies:

(a) store the Lot at its premises or elsewhere at the Buyer’s sole risk and expense;

(b) cancel the sale of the Lot;

(c) set off any amounts owed to the Buyer by a Replica Shoes ’s Company against any amounts owed to Replica Shoes 's by the Buyer in respect of the Lot;

(d) apply any payments made to Replica Shoes ’s by the buyer as part of the Purchase Price and Buyer’s Expenses towards that or any other Lot purchased by the Buyer, or to any shortfall on the resale of any Lot pursuant to paragraph (h) below, or to any damages suffered by Replica Shoes ’s as a result of breach of contract by the Buyer;

(e) reject future bids from the Buyer or render such bids subject to payment of a deposit;

(f) charge interest at 6% per annum above HSBC Bank plc Base Rate from the Due Date to the date the Purchase Price and relevant Buyer's Expenses are received in cleared funds (both before and after judgement);

(g) exercise a lien over any of the Buyer’s property which is in the possession of a Replica Shoes ’s Company. Sotheby's shall inform the Buyer of the exercise of any such lien and within 14 days of such notice may arrange the sale of such property and apply the proceeds to the amount owed to Replica Shoes ’s;

(h) resell the Lot by auction or private sale, with estimates and reserves at Replica Shoes 's discretion. In the event such resale is for less than the Purchase Price and Buyer's Expenses for that Lot, the Buyer will remain liable for the shortfall together with all costs incurred in such resale;

(i) commence legal proceedings to recover the Purchase Price and Buyer's Expenses for that Lot, together with interest and the costs of such proceedings on a full indemnity basis; or

(j) release the name and address of the Buyer to the Seller to enable the Seller to commence legal proceedings to recover the amounts due and legal costs. Sotheby's will take reasonable steps to notify the Buyer prior to releasing such details to the Seller.

9. Cancellation of Studio Sale Purchase

(a) If the Buyer is an EU/UK Consumer and the Seller is an Trader, the Buyer shall have the right to cancel the sale contract which exists directly between the Trader (as Seller) and the EU/UK Consumer (as Buyer) during the Studio Sale Cancellation Period for any reason provided that (i) the EU/UK Consumer duly informs Replica Shoes ’s during the Studio Sale Cancellation Period of their intention to cancel the purchase of the Lot; and (ii) the EU/UK Consumer returns the Lot to Replica Shoes ’s without undue delay and in any event not later than fourteen (14) calendar days from the day after the EU/UK Consumer has communicated their intention to cancel the purchase of the Lot to Replica Shoes ’s. The cancellation right does not apply to the purchase of a Lot made to the Buyer’s specifications or a Lot that is clearly personalised.

(b) To exercise the right to cancel the sale contract in relation to a Lot, the EU/UK Consumer must inform Replica Shoes ’s (being the company within the Replica Shoes ’s Group and specified in the Studio Sale Information which offers to sell the Lot either as agent for the Seller or as principal) of their decision to cancel the sale contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or email). Alternatively, the EU/UK Consumer may use the model cancellation form set out below. Provided that the EU/UK Consumer sends the communication to inform the Trader of the cancellation prior to the end of the Studio Sale Cancellation Period, the EU/UK Consumer will be deemed to have cancelled the sales contract within the Studio Sale Cancellation Period.

(c) If the EU/UK Consumer cancels the sales contract within the Studio Sale Cancellation Period, Replica Shoes ’s will reimburse (without undue delay and in any event within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of the returned Lot from the EU/UK Consumer within the time frame specified in Condition 8(a)(ii) payments received by Replica Shoes ’s from the EU/UK Consumer (including the Purchase Price and, where the EU/UK Consumer has utilised Replica Shoes ’s shipping services for the delivery of the Lot, the costs of any standard Shipping Services within the EU/UK). Replica Shoes ’s shall not process the reimbursement unless and until the Lot is returned to Replica Shoes ’s or the EU/UK Consumer has supplied Replica Shoes ’s with evidence of having returned the Lot to us. Please note that Lots are to be returned to Replica Shoes ’s in the same condition they were received by the EU/UK Consumer or their representative. Replica Shoes ’s will make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of the returned Lot, if such loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

(d) Replica Shoes ’s will make the reimbursement to the EU/UK using the same method of payment as the EU/UK Consumer used for the initial transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise. Replica Shoes ’s will not charge the EU/UK Consumer any fee in connection with processing the reimbursement.

(e) Sotheby’s shall not reimburse the EU/UK Consumer by the amount of any supplementary costs which arise if the EU/UK Consumer chooses a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by Replica Shoes ’s or any import duties we incur as a result of the EU/UK Consumer returning the Lot to us.

(f) The EU/UK Consumer shall send back the Lot or hand it over to us at such address as we may specify for the purpose, without undue delay and in any event no later than 14 calendar days from the day after which the EU/UK Consumer communicate their cancellation of their purchase of the Lot to us. This deadline is met if the EU/UK Consumer sends back the Lot before the period of 14 calendar days has expired. The EU/UK Consumer will have to bear the direct costs of returning the Lot. If we arranged for the Lot to be delivered we estimate that the cost of returning the Lot by the same means is likely to be similar to the cost of delivery but it is not possible for us to be more accurate as to this cost due to the many variables involved in our worldwide business model and the means by which a return might be made.

Model form of cancellation – sale of goods/provision of services:

Without prejudice to Conditions 3 and 4 above, Replica Shoes 's and the Seller make no representations or warranties as to whether any Lot is or is not subject to export or import restrictions or any embargoes. The denial of any permit or licence shall not justify cancellation or rescission of the sale contract or any delay in payment.
