Bidders’ attention is specifically drawn to Conditions 3 and 4, which require them to investigate lots prior to bidding and which contain specific limitations and exclusions of the legal liability of Replica Shoes ’s and sellers. The limitations and exclusions relating to Replica Shoes ’s are consistent with its role as auctioneer of large quantities of goods of a wide variety and bidders should pay particular attention to these Conditions.

1. Before the Auction

Bidding in advance of the live auction Certain auctions have a period of online bidding followed by a live auction. In such cases, if you wish to bid in advance of the live auction, you may do so on sothebys.com or via the Replica Shoes ’s App (each an “Online Platform” and together, the “Online Platforms”). In order to do so, you must register an account with Replica Shoes ’s and provide the requested information. Once you have done so, navigate to your desired lot and click the “Place Bid” button to start the process. You may bid at or above the starting bid displayed on the Online Platforms. Please note that Replica Shoes ’s reserves the right to amend the starting bid prior to the start of the live auction. You may also input your maximum bid which, upon confirmation, will be executed automatically up to this predefined maximum value, in response to other bids, including bids placed by Replica Shoes ’s on behalf of the seller, up to the amount of the reserve (if applicable). The current leading bid will be visible to all bidders; the value and status of your maximum bid will be visible only to you. If the status of your bid changes, you will receive notifications via email and push (if you have enabled push notifications on your device) prior to the start of the live auction. You may raise your maximum bid at any time in advance of the live auction. Please note that in certain circumstances clients who have been outbid may be reinstated as the leading bidder and will receive notification via email or push (if enabled on your device). Please refer further to the “DURING THE AUCTION section below. Online bids are made subject to the Additional Terms and Conditions for Online Bidding, which are published below and can also be viewed at sothebys.com, as well as the Conditions of Business applicable to the sale. Online bidding may not be available for Premium Lots.

Pre-sale Estimates Pre-sale estimates are intended as a guide for prospective buyers. Any bid between the high and low pre-sale estimates would, in our opinion, offer a chance of success. However, lots can realise prices above or below the pre-sale estimates. It is advisable to consult us nearer the time of sale as estimates can be subject to revision. The estimates do not include the buyer’s premium, overhead premium, any applicable Artist’s Resale Right levy or VAT.

Pre-sale Estimates in US Dollars and Euros Although the sale is conducted in pounds sterling, the pre-sale estimates in some cases are also published in US dollars and/or Euros. The rate of exchange is the rate at the time of publication of this guide. Therefore, you should treat the estimates in US dollars or Euros as a guide only.

Solely as a convenience, Replica Shoes ’s may provide condition reports. The absence of reference to the condition of a lot in the lot description does not imply that the lot is free from faults or imperfections. Please refer to Condition 3 of the Conditions of Business for Buyers below.

Electrical and Mechanical Goods 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 is checked and approved by a qualified electrician.

Provenance In certain circumstances, Replica Shoes ’s may publish the history of ownership of an item of property if such information contributes to scholarship or is otherwise well known and assists in distinguishing the item of property. However, the identity of the seller or previous owners may not be disclosed for a variety of reasons. For example, such information may be excluded to accommodate a seller’s request for confidentiality or because the identity of prior owners is unknown given the age of the item of property.

2. During the LIVE Auction

Conditions of Business Replica Shoes ’s auctions are governed by the Conditions of Business and Authenticity Guarantee. These apply to all aspects of the relationship between Replica Shoes ’s and actual and prospective bidders and buyers. Anyone considering bidding in a Replica Shoes ’s auction should read them carefully. They may be amended by way of notices posted in the saleroom or by way of announcement made by the auctioneer..

Bidding at the Studio Sale Following any applicable online bidding period, bids may be executed during the live auction on the telephone or online via an Online Platform.

Auction speeds vary, but average between 50 and 120 lots per hour. The bidding steps are generally in increments of approximately 10% of the previous bid.

Please refer to Conditions 5 and 6 of the Conditions of Business for Buyers published below.

Bidders using an Online Platform are subject to the Additional Terms and Conditions for Online Bidding, which are published below and can also be viewed at sothebys.com, as well as the Conditions of Business applicable to the sale. Online bidding may not be available for Premium Lots.

Telephone Bids In some circumstances, we offer the ability to place bids by telephone live to a Replica Shoes ’s representative on the auction floor. If bidding by telephone, we suggest that you leave a maximum bid which we can execute on your behalf in the event we are unable to reach you. Please see sothebys.com or contact the Bid Department prior to the sale to make arrangements or to answer any questions you may have. Telephone bids are accepted only at Replica Shoes ’s discretion and at the caller’s risk. Calls may also be recorded at Replica Shoes ’s discretion. By bidding on the telephone, prospective buyers consent thereto.

Absentee Bidding For some sales (other than where the option to submit an Advance Bid (as defined below) is enabled and a current bid is visible on the Online Platforms)you may place your maximum bid prior to the start of the live auction on an Online Platform or by submitting your maximum bid in writing to the Bids Department. When the lot that you are interested in comes up for sale, the auctioneer will execute the bid on your behalf, making every effort to purchase the lot for as little as possible and never exceeding your limit. Please place your bids as early as possible, as in the event of identical absentee bids the earliest received will take precedence. Bids should be submitted at least twenty-four hours before the auction. This service is free and confidential.

Advance Bidding For certain sales, bidders may submit bids in advance of the live auction (“Advance Bid”) through an Online Platform, as described above in “BEFORE THE AUCTION” section or by submitting your maximum bid in writing to the Bids Department. For these sales, if you submit an Advance Bid prior to the live auction, the system will automatically bid on your behalf up to and including your predetermined maximum Advance Bid in response to other bids and will alert you via email and push notifications (if enabled on your device). During the live auction, if your Advance Bid remains as the leading bid, the auctioneer will execute your bid on your behalf in response to other bids. You may also continue to bid during the live auction above your predetermined maximum Advance Bid via an Online Platform using the Live Online Bidding method described below.

Live Online Bidding For information about registering to bid via an Online Platform please refer to sothebys.com.

Consecutive and Responsive Bidding The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may further bid on behalf of the seller, up to the amount of the reserve, by placing consecutive or responsive bids for a lot. Please refer to Condition 6 of the Conditions of Business for Buyers published below.

Interested Parties Announcement In situations where a person who is allowed to bid on a lot has a direct or indirect interest in such lot, such as the beneficiary or executor of an estate selling the lot, a joint owner of the lot, or a party providing or participating in a guarantee of the lot, Replica Shoes ’s will make an announcement in the saleroom that interested parties may bid on the lot. In certain instances, interested parties may have knowledge of the reserves.

Employee Bidding Replica Shoes ’s employees may bid only if the employee does not know the reserve and fully complies with Replica Shoes ’s internal rules governing employee bidding.

There may be restrictions on the import into the United States of certain items originating in sanctioned countries, including Burma, Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Sudan. The purchaser’s inability to import any item into the US or any other country as a result of these or other restrictions shall not justify cancellation or rescission of the sale or any delay in payment. Please check with the specialist department if you are uncertain as to whether a lot is subject to these import restrictions, or any other restrictions on importation or exportation.

Currency Board As a courtesy to bidders, a currency board is operated in many salerooms. It displays the lot number and current bid in both pound sterling and foreign currencies.

Export The export of any lot from the UK or import into any other country may be subject to one or more export or import licences being granted. It is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import licence. The denial of any licence required or delay in obtaining such licence cannot justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making payment of the total amount due. Sotheby’s, upon request and for an administrative fee, may apply for a licence to export your lot(s) outside the UK.

Sotheby’s, upon request and for an administrative fee, may apply for a licence to export your lot(s) outside the UK.

Sotheby’s recommends that you retain all import and export papers, including licences, as in certain countries you may be required to produce them to governmental authorities.

Endangered Species Items made of or incorporating plant or animal material, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, tortoiseshell, etc., irrespective of age or value, may require a licence or certificate prior to exportation and require additional licences or certificates upon importation to any country outside the EU. Please note that the ability to obtain an export licence or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import licence or certificate in another country, and vice versa. For example, it is illegal to import African elephant ivory into the United States and there are other restrictions on the importation of ivory into the US under certain US regulations which are designed to protect wildlife conservation. Replica Shoes ’s suggests that buyers check with their own government regarding wildlife import requirements prior to placing a bid. It is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain any export or import licences and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation (please refer to Condition 11 of the Conditions of Business for Buyers published below). Please note that Replica Shoes ’s is not able to assist buyers with the shipment of any lots containing ivory and/or other restricted materials into the US. A buyer’s inability to export or import these lots cannot justify a delay in payment or a sale’s cancellation.

Explanation of symbols

The following key explains the symbols you may see beside the lots of property included in this sale.

○Guaranteed Property

The seller of lots with this symbol has been guaranteed a minimum price from one auction or a series of auctions. This guarantee may be provided by Replica Shoes ’s or jointly by Replica Shoes ’s and a third party. Sotheby’s and any third parties providing a guarantee jointly with Replica Shoes ’s benefit financially if a guaranteed lot is sold successfully and may incur a loss if the sale is not successful. A third party providing a guarantee jointly with Replica Shoes ’s may provide an irrevocable bid, or otherwise bid, on the guaranteed property. If an auction has a printed and/or PDF catalogue and the Guaranteed Property symbol for a lot is not included in that auction catalogue, the symbol will be included on the lot's specific webpage, a notice will be added to the Replica Shoes 's webpage for the auction and/or a pre-sale or pre-lot announcement will be made indicating that there is a guarantee on the lot. If every lot in an auction is -guaranteed, this will be included on the webpage for the auction and where there is a printed and/or PDF catalogue the Important Notices in that catalogue will so state and this symbol will not be used for each lot.

△ Property in which Replica Shoes ’s has an Ownership Interest

Lots with this symbol indicate that Replica Shoes ’s owns the lot in whole or in part or has an economic interest in the lot equivalent to an ownership interest.

⋑ Irrevocable Bids

Lots with this symbol indicate that a party has provided Replica Shoes ’s with an irrevocable bid on the lot that will be executed during the sale at a value that ensures that the lot will sell. The irrevocable bidder, who may bid in excess of the irrevocable bid, may be compensated for providing the irrevocable bid by receiving a contingent fee, a fixed fee or both. If the irrevocable bidder is the successful bidder, any contingent fee, fixed fee or both (as applicable) for providing the irrevocable bid may be netted against the irrevocable bidder’s obligation to pay the full purchase price for the lot and the purchase price reported for the lot shall be net of any such fees. From time to time, Replica Shoes ’s may enter into irrevocable bid agreements that cover multiple lots. In such instances, the compensation Replica Shoes ’s will pay the irrevocable bidder is allocated to the lots for which the irrevocable bidder is not the successful purchaser. Under such circumstances, the total compensation to the irrevocable bidder will not exceed the total buyer’s premium and other amounts paid to Replica Shoes ’s in respect of any lots for which the irrevocable bidder is not the successful bidder. If an auction has a printed and/or PDF catalogue and the irrevocable bid is not secured until after that auction cataloguing is finalised, Replica Shoes ’s will notify bidders that there is an irrevocable bid on the lot by one or more of the following means: the symbol will be included on the lot's specific webpage, a notice will be added to the Replica Shoes 's webpage for the auction and/or a pre-sale or pre-lot announcement will be made. From time to time, Replica Shoes ’s or any affiliated company may provide the irrevocable bidder with financing related to the irrevocable bid. If the irrevocable bidder is advising anyone with respect to the lot, Replica Shoes ’s requires the irrevocable bidder to disclose his or her financial interest in the lot. If an agent is advising you or bidding on your behalf with respect to a lot identified as being subject to an irrevocable bid, you should request that the agent disclose whether or not he or she has a financial interest in the lot.

⊻ Interested Parties

Lots with this symbol indicate that parties with a direct or indirect interest in the lot may be bidding on the lot, including (i) the beneficiary of an estate selling the lot, or (ii) the joint owner of a lot. If the interested party is the successful bidder, they will be required to pay the full buyer’s premium and overhead premium. In certain instances, interested parties may have knowledge of the reserve. If an auction has a printed and/or PDF catalogue and the interested party’s possible participation in the sale is not known until after that auction catalogue is finalised, the symbol will be included on the lot's specific webpage, a notice will be added to the Replica Shoes 's webpage for the auction and/or a pre-lot announcement will be made indicating that interested parties may be bidding on the lot.

□ No Reserve

Unless indicated by a box (﹤), all lots included in this sale are offered subject to a reserve. A reserve is the confidential hammer price established between Replica Shoes ’s and the seller and below which a lot will not be sold. The reserve is generally set at a percentage of the low estimate and will not exceed the low estimate for the lot. Where a lot is offered “without reserve” absentee bids will be executed at a minimum of 10% of the low estimate. If any lots included in a sale are offered without a reserve, these lots are indicated by a box (﹤). If all lots included in a sale are offered without a reserve, a Special Notice will be included to this effect and the box symbol will not be used for each lot.

⊕ Property Subject to the Artist’s Resale Right

Purchase of lots marked with this symbol (⊕ ) will be subject to payment of the Artist’s Resale Right, at a percentage of the hammer price calculated as follows:

Portion of the hammer price (in €)

Royalty Rate From 0 to 50,000

4%From 50,000.01 to 200,000

3%From 200,000.01 to 350,000

1%From 350,000.01 to 500,000

0.5%Exceeding 500,000

0.25%

The Artist’s Resale Right payable will be the aggregate of the amounts payable under the above rate bands, subject to a maximum royalty payable of 12,500 euros for any single work each time it is sold. The maximum royalty payable of 12,500 euros applies to works sold for 2 million euros and above. Calculation of the artist’s resale right will be based on the pound sterling / Euro reference exchange rate quoted on the date of the sale by the European Central Bank.

◉ Restricted Materials

Lots with this symbol have been identified at the time of cataloguing as containing organic material which may be subject to restrictions regarding import or export. The information is made available for the convenience of Buyers and the absence of the Symbol is not a warranty that there are no restrictions regarding import or export of the Lot; Bidders should refer to Condition 11 of the Conditions of Business for Buyers. Please also refer to the section on Endangered Species in the Buying at Auction Guide. As indicated in the Endangered Species section, Replica Shoes ’s is not able to assist buyers with the shipment of any lots with this symbol into the US. A buyer’s inability to export or import any lots with this symbol cannot justify a delay in payment or a sale’s cancellation.

∏ Monumental Lots with this symbol may, in our opinion, require special handling or shipping services due to size or other physical considerations. Buyers are advised to inspect the lot and to contact Replica Shoes ’s prior to the sale to discuss any specific shipping requirements.

Premium Lot In order to bid on “Premium Lots” ([ ] in print catalogue and/or [ ] on the lot's specific webpage) you will be requested to complete a Premium Lot pre-registration application. You must arrange for Replica Shoes ’s to receive your pre-registration application at least three working days before the sale. Please bear in mind that we are unable to obtain financial references over weekends or public holidays. Replica Shoes ’s decision whether to accept any pre-registration application shall be final. If all lots in the auction are “Premium Lots”, this will be stated on the webpage for the auction and where there is a printed and/or PDF catalogue a Special Notice will be included to this effect and this symbol will not be used.

Please refer to VAT information for Buyers for VAT symbols used in this sale. Value Added Tax (VAT) may be payable on the hammer price and/or the buyer’s premium and overhead premium. Buyer’s premium and overhead premium may attract a charge in lieu of VAT. Please read carefully the “VAT INFORMATION FOR BUYERS” stated below.

Vat and other tax information for buyers

The following paragraphs are intended to give general guidance to buyers on the VAT and certain other potential tax implications of purchasing property at Replica Shoes ’s. The information concerns the most usual circumstances and is not intended to be complete. In all cases the relevant tax legislation takes precedence and the VAT rates in effect on the day of the live auction will be the rates charged except for lots sold subject to Temporary Admission for which the applicable rate will be that in force at the time of collection. It should be noted that, for VAT purposes only, Replica Shoes ’s is not usually treated as an agent and most property is sold as if it is the property of Replica Shoes ’s.

Brexit: If the UK and the EU do not reach agreement on the terms of their new relationship (including in relation to the import and export of property) prior to 31 December 2020 (the "Transition Period Expiry Date"), then UK VAT rules only will apply after the Transition Period Expiry Date. If a purchased lot has not been shipped before the Transition Period Expiry Date, the invoiced VAT position may retrospectively change and additional import tariffs may be due on a purchased lot if imported into the EU from the UK after the Transition Period Expiry Date. Sotheby's is unable to provide tax advice to buyers and recommends that buyers obtain their own independent tax advice.

In the following paragraphs, reference to VAT symbols shall mean those symbols located beside the lot number or the pre-sale estimates in the cataloguing (or amending sale room notice).

1. Property with no VAT symbol

Where there is no VAT symbol, Replica Shoes ’s is able to use the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme and VAT will not normally be charged on the hammer price.

Sotheby’s must bear VAT on the buyer’s premium and overhead premium and hence will charge an amount in lieu of VAT at the standard rate on these premiums. This amount will form part of the buyer’s premium and overhead premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified. A limited range of goods, including most books, are not liable to VAT and therefore no amount in lieu of VAT will be added to the premiums.

Please see ‘Exports from the European Union before the Transition Period Expiry Date and Exports from the United Kingdom after the Transition Period Expiry Date’ for the conditions to be fulfilled before the amount in lieu of VAT on the buyer’s premium and overhead premium may be cancelled or refunded upon the export of the purchased lot from the EU or the UK (as applicable).

(Please note that the amount in lieu of VAT contained within the buyer's premium and the overhead premium cannot be cancelled or refunded by Replica Shoes 's or HM Revenue and Customs either (i) in respect of a lot which is purchased before the Transition Period Expiry Date by a VAT-registered buyer from within the European Union or (ii) in respect of a lot which is purchased after the Transition Period Expiry Date by a UK VAT-registered buyer.)

(VAT-registered buyers from within the European Union (EU) should note that the amount in lieu of VAT contained within the buyer’s premium and overhead premium cannot be cancelled or refunded by Replica Shoes ’s or HM Revenue and Customs.)

Buyers requiring an invoice under the normal VAT rules, instead of a margin scheme invoice, should notify the Post Sale Service Group or the Client Accounts Department on the day of the live auction and an invoice with VAT on the hammer price will be raised. Buyers requiring re-invoicing under the normal VAT rules subsequent to a margin scheme invoice having been raised should contact the Client Accounts Department for assistance.

2. Property with a † symbol

These items will be sold under the normal UK VAT rules and VAT will be charged at the standard rate on the hammer price, buyer’s premium and overhead premium.

Please see ‘Exports from the European Union before the Transition Period Expiry Date and Exports from the United Kingdom after the Transition Period Expiry Date’ for the conditions to be fulfilled before the VAT charged on the hammer price may be cancelled or refunded in respect of a purchased lot which is exported from the EU before the Transition Period Expiry Date and for the conditions to be fulfilled before the VAT charged on the hammer price may be cancelled or refunded in respect of a purchased lot which is exported outside of the UK after the Transition Period Expiry Date..

(VAT-registered buyers from EU countries (other than the UK) which purchase a lot before the Transition Period Expiry Date may have the VAT cancelled or refunded if they provide Replica Shoes ’s with their VAT registration number and evidence that the property has been removed from the UK by no later than the Transition Period Expiry Date and Replica Shoes 's is given sufficient time to process before the Transition Period Expiry Date. The evidence of removal required is a certificate of shipment or, if the lots were carried by hand, proof of travel and completion of a form available from the Post Sale Service Group.

3. Property with a α symbol

Before the Transition Period Expiry Date, items sold to buyers whose address is in the EU will be assumed to be remaining in the EU. The property will be invoiced as if it had no VAT symbol (see ‘Property with no VAT symbol’ above). However, if the property is to be exported from the EU before the Transition Period Expiry Date, Replica Shoes ’s will re-invoice the property under the normal VAT rules (see ‘Property sold with a † symbol’ above) as requested by the seller. After the Transition Period Expiry Date, items sold to buyers whose address is in the UK will be assumed to be remaining in the UK. The property will be invoiced as if it has no VAT symbol (see 'Property with no VAT symbol' above). However, if the Property is to be exported from the UK after the Transition Period Expiry Date, Replica Shoes 's will re-invoice the property under the normal VAT rules (see 'Property sold with a † symbol’ above) as requested by the seller.

Before the Transition Period Expiry Date, items sold to buyers whose address is outside the EU will be assumed to be exported from the EU before the Transition Period Expiry Date. The property will be invoiced under the normal VAT rules (see ‘Property sold with a † symbol’ above). Although the hammer price will be subject to VAT this will be cancelled or refunded upon export - see ‘Exports from the European Union before the Transition Period Expiry Date and Exports from the United Kingdom after the Transition Period Expiry Date’.

After the Transition Period Expiry Date, items sold to buyers (including where the sale has taken place and the item has not been exported before the Transition Period Expiry Date) whose address is outside of the UK will be assumed to be exported from the UK. The property will be invoiced under the normal VAT rules (see ‘Property sold with a † symbol’ above). Although the hammer price will be subject to VAT this will be cancelled or refunded upon export - see ‘Exports from the European Union before the Transition Period Expiry Date and Exports from the United Kingdom after the Transition Period Expiry Date’.

Buyers who are not intending to export their property from the EU before the Transition Period Expiry Date should notify our Client Accounts Department on the day of the sale and the property will be re-invoiced showing no VAT on the hammer price (see ‘Property sold with no VAT symbol’ above).

4. Property sold with a ‡ or Ω symbol

Before the Transition Period Expiry Date, these items have been imported from outside the EU to be sold at auction under Temporary Admission. When Replica Shoes ’s releases such property to buyers in the UK, the buyer will become the importer and must pay Replica Shoes ’s import VAT at the following rates on the hammer price:

‡ - the reduced rate Ω - the standard rate

You should also note that the appropriate rate will be that in force on the date of collection of the property from Replica Shoes ’s and not that in force at the date of the sale.

These lots will be invoiced under the margin scheme. Replica Shoes ’s must bear VAT on the buyer’s premium and overhead premium and hence will charge an amount in lieu of VAT at the standard rate on these premiums. This amount will form part of the buyer’s premium and overhead premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified.

(VAT-registered buyers from the EU should note that the import VAT charged on property released in the UK cannot be cancelled or refunded by Replica Shoes ’s, however you may be able to seek repayment) by applying to HM Revenue and Customs - see ‘VAT Refunds from HM Revenue and Customs’)

(VAT-registered buyers from the UK should note that the invoice issued by Replica Shoes ’s for these items is not suitable evidence in respect of import VAT.)

On request, immediately after sale, the Temporary Admission Department can either ask HM Revenue and Customs to generate a C79 certificate (for UK buyers), or obtain a copy of the import C88 (for other EU VAT registered buyers), which may be used to claim recovery of the VAT. Otherwise Replica Shoes ’s may re-invoice the lot as if it had been sold with a † symbol and charge VAT at the standard rate on both the hammer price, buyer's premium and overhead premium and provide a tax invoice to the buyer. This may enable a buyer who is VAT registered elsewhere in the EU to avoid payment of VAT in the United Kingdom. Re-invoicing in this way may make the lot ineligible to be re-sold using the margin scheme.

Sotheby’s will transfer all lots sold subject to Temporary Admission to its Customs Warehouse immediately after sale.

After the Transition Period Expiry Date, these items shall be deemed to have been imported from outside the UK to be sold at auction under Temporary Admission. When Replica Shoes 's releases such property to buyers in the UK, the buyer will become the importer and must pay Replica Shoes ’s import VAT at the following rates on the hammer price:

‡ - the reduced rate

Ω - the standard rate

You should also note that the appropriate rate will be that in force on the date of collection of the property from Replica Shoes ’s and not that in force at the date of the sale.

(VAT-registered buyers from the UK should note that the invoice issued by Replica Shoes ’s for these items is not suitable evidence in respect of import VAT.)

On request, immediately after sale, the Temporary Admission Department can either ask HM Revenue and Customs to generate a C79 certificate. Otherwise Replica Shoes 's may re-invoice the lot as if it had been sold with a ¢” symbol and charge VAT at the standard rate on both the hammer price, buyer's premium and overhead premium and provide a tax invoice to the buyer. Re-invoicing in this way may make the lot ineligible to be re-sold using the margin scheme.

Sotheby's will transfer all lots sold subject to Temporary Admission to its Customs Warehouse immediately after sale.

5. Exports from the European Union before the Transition Period Expiry Date and Exports from the United Kingdom after the Transition Period Expiry Date

The following amounts of VAT may be cancelled or refunded provided Replica Shoes ’s receive the appropriate export documents within the time limits stated:

Property with no VAT symbol (see paragraph 1)

Before the Transition Period Expiry Date, the amount in lieu of VAT charged on buyer’s premium and overhead premium may be refunded provided the purchaser resides outside of the United Kingdom and the property is exported from the EU by no later than the Transition Period Expiry Date and Replica Shoes 's is given sufficient time to process before the Transition Period Expiry Date. Sotheby’s must be provided with the appropriate proof of export immediately after export of the goods.

After the Transition Period Expiry Date, the amount in lieu of VAT charged on buyer's premium and overhead premium may be refunded provided the purchaser resides outside of the United Kingdom and the property is exported from the UK within 3 months of the sale. Sotheby's must be provided with the appropriate proof of export immediately after export of the goods.

Property with a † symbol

Before the Transition Period Expiry Date, the VAT charged upon the hammer price may be refunded provided the purchaser resides outside of the United Kingdom and the property is exported from the EU by no later than the Transition Period Expiry Date and Replica Shoes 's is given sufficient time to process before the Transition Period Expiry Date. Sotheby’s must be provided with the appropriate proof of export immediately after export of the goods.

After the Transition Period Expiry Date, the VAT charged upon the hammer price may be refunded provided the purchaser resides outside of the United Kingdom and the property is exported from the UK within 3 months of the sale. Sotheby’s must be provided with the appropriate proof of export immediately after export of the goods.

Property with a ‡ or a Ω symbol

The Temporary Admission VAT charged on the hammer price may be refunded under the following circumstances:-

BEFORE THE TRANSITION PERIOD EXPIRY DATE:

• Replica Shoes ’s is instructed to ship the property to a place outside the EU

• The property is hand carried from the UK directly outside the EU and Replica Shoes ’s pre lodge the export entry with HMRC

• The VAT liability is transferred to your shipper’s own Temporary Admission or Customs Warehouse arrangement prior to collection from Replica Shoes ’s.

AFTER THE TRANSITION PERIOD EXPIRY DATE:

• Replica Shoes ’s is instructed to ship the property to a place outside the UK

• The property is hand carried directly from the UK and Replica Shoes ’s pre lodge the export entry with HMRC

• The VAT liability is transferred to your shipper’s own Temporary Admission or Customs Warehouse arrangement prior to collection from Replica Shoes ’s.

Under all other circumstances Replica Shoes ’s is required to complete the importation and pay the VAT due to HM Revenue and Customs prior to the property leaving its premises and so a VAT refund will not be possible.

Proof of export required

• before the Transition Period Expiry Date, for lots sold under the margin scheme (no VAT symbol) or the normal VAT rules († symbol), Replica Shoes ’s is provided with appropriate documentary proof of export from the EU. Buyers carrying their own property should obtain hand-carry papers from the Shipping department to facilitate this process.

• after the Transition Period Expiry Date, for lots sold under the margin scheme (no VAT symbol) or the normal VAT rules († symbol), Replica Shoes ’s is provided with appropriate documentary proof of export from the UK. Buyers carrying their own property should obtain hand-carry papers from the Shipping department to facilitate this process.

• for lots sold under Temporary Admission (‡ or Ω symbols), and subsequently transferred to Replica Shoes ’s Customs Warehouse (into Bond). The property must be shipped as described above in the paragraph headed Property with a ‡ or a Ω symbol.

• buyers carrying their own property must obtain hand-carry papers from the Shipping Department for which a small administrative charge will be made. The VAT refund will be processed once the appropriate paperwork has been returned to Replica Shoes ’s.

• before the Transition Period Expiry Date, Replica Shoes ’s is not able to cancel or refund any VAT charged on sales made to EU private residents unless the lot is subject to Temporary Admission and the property is exported from the EU and the requisite export papers provided to Replica Shoes ’s within one month of collection of the property. • after the Transition Period Expiry Date, Replica Shoes ’s is not able to cancel or refund any VAT charged on sales made to UK residents unless the lot is subject to Temporary Admission and the property is exported from the UK and Replica Shoes 's is instructed to ship directly.

• Replica Shoes ’s is not able to cancel or refund any VAT charged on sales to UK or EU private residents unless the lot is subject to Temporary Admission and is shipped as described above.

Buyers intending to export, repair, restore or alter lots sold under Temporary Admission (‡ or Ω symbols) and therefore transferred to Customs Warehouse after sale should notify the Shipping Department before collection. Failure to do so may result in the import VAT becoming payable immediately and Replica Shoes ’s being unable to refund the VAT charged on deposit.

6. VAT Refunds from HM Revenue and Customs

Where VAT charged cannot be cancelled or refunded by Replica Shoes ’s, it may be possible to seek repayment from HM Revenue and Customs. Repayments in this manner are limited to businesses located outside the UK.

Email the Overseas Repayment Unit

Newcastle.oru.hmrc.gsi.gov.uk

Use this email to contact HMRC about reclaiming VAT paid in the UK if your business is based overseas.

7. Sales and Use Taxes

Buyers should note that local sales taxes or use taxes may become payable upon import of items following purchase (for example, use tax may be due when purchased items are imported into certain states in the US). Buyers should obtain their own advice in this regard.

In the event that Replica Shoes ’s ships items for a purchaser in this sale to a destination within a US state in which Replica Shoes ’s is registered to collect sales tax, Replica Shoes ’s is obliged to collect and remit the respective state’s sales / use tax in effect on the total purchase price (including hammer price, buyer’s premium, overhead premium, artist’s resale right levy and any requested shipping services including insurance, as applicable) of such items, regardless of the country in which the purchaser resides or is a citizen. Where the purchaser has provided Replica Shoes ’s with a valid Resale Exemption Certificate prior to the release of the property, sales / use tax will not be charged. Clients who wish to provide resale or exemption documentation for their purchases should contact Post Sale Services.

Clients who wish to have their purchased lots shipped to the US by Replica Shoes ’s are advised to contact the Post Sale Manager listed on the auction webpage on Replica Shoes 's website or, where applicable, in the front of a catalogue, before arranging shipping.

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

(a) Sotheby’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) Sotheby'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) Sotheby’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) Sotheby’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.
