3. Catalogue Descriptions And Condition of Property
3.1. Saffronart offers all Properties for sale at the Auction "as is", 
meaning that Property is sold with all existing faults and imperfections. 
Saffronart encourages all potential Buyers to inspect each item carefully before 
bidding.
3.2. Any statements made by Saffronart about any Property, whether orally or 
in writing concerning attribution to, for example, any school of art or 
craftsmanship, country or origin, history or provenance, are only expressions of 
our opinion or belief. Such opinions or beliefs have been formed honestly in 
accordance with the standard of care expected of an auction house, having due 
regard to the estimate value of the Property. However, Saffronart does not in 
anyway represent that it has carried out exhaustive research or analysis, and it 
is therefore recommended, especially in cases of Properties of high value, that 
potential Buyers seek advice on such matters from their own professional 
advisors.
3.3. The Buyer undertakes to:
  - 
  to inspect and satisfy himself prior to the Auction as to the condition and 
  description of the Property; 
- 
  to rely on his own judgment as to whether the Property matches its 
  description; and 
- 
  to not rely on an illustration of any Property given in the 
  Catalogue 
3.4. Neither Saffronart nor any of its affiliates, agents, representatives, 
employees or directors shall be liable for errors or omissions in any of the 
representations made in the Auction Catalogue or otherwise with respect to 
authenticity, description, or condition of any Property for sale through the 
Auction.
 
4. Authenticity Guarantee
4.1. Guarantee of Properties (other than Precious Objects): With 
respect to artworks (not including Precious Objects) Saffronart guarantees the 
authenticity of the Property for a period of one year, and will provide a 
Saffronart authenticity certificate in relation to this guarantee (please note 
Saffronart does not provide authenticity certificates from artists). 
Authenticity in relation to artworks shall mean compliance of the artwork with 
Description provided in the Auction Catalogue, particularly with reference to 
the name of the Artist, title (if any) of the artwork itself, date, the school 
of art (if mentioned), dimensions, medium, etc.
In the unlikely event 
that within one year from the sale of the Property through Auction, it is proved 
by the Buyer, to the reasonable satisfaction of Saffron that the Property was 
not authentic and if, in Saffronart's opinion, Bidders being aware of such error 
or omission would have bid significantly less than the actual Sale Price 
Saffronart shall be entitled to rescind the sale and the Seller will be liable 
to refund to the Buyer the Sale Price paid for the Property. The Buyer shall 
return the Property to Saffronart and Saffronart shall hand over the Property to 
the Seller upon refund of the Sale Price paid to him for the Property. Once 
Saffron obtains the refunded amount from the Seller, it shall forward the same 
along with the amount charged by Saffron as the Buyer's Premium to the 
Buyer.
All such claims will be handled on a case-by-case basis, and in 
the case of an authenticity claim will require that examinable proof, which 
clearly demonstrates that the Property is not authentic, is provided by an 
established and acknowledged authority. The decision of Saffronart in respect of 
such claims shall be final and binding. The authenticity guarantee under this 
clause 4.1 does not apply to jewellery, watches or precious stones.
4.2. The above guarantee given in clause 4.1 shall be subject to the 
following conditions:
  - 
  The claim is made by the Buyer as registered with Saffronart (the benefit 
  of the claim is not assignable to any subsequent owners or others who may 
  acquire or have an interest in any of the Properties) 
- 
  The Property is returned in the same condition that it was in at the time 
  of delivery of the Property to the Buyer. 
- 
  The Property was indisputably purchased through the Auction. 
4.3. Guarantee in relation to Precious Objects: In the case of 
Properties which have been categorised by Saffronart as Precious Objects, 
Saffronart guarantees that the Property shall comply with characteristics or 
features mentioned in all capital letters in the heading of the Description of 
the Property in the Auction Catalogue (with the exception however that in the 
case of the MobileApp Auction Catalogue, the characteristics or features 
mentioned in all capital letters may be displayed in a position other than the 
heading) till such time that the Property is in the possession of Saffronart. 
All colored stones unless certified may or may not be treated for enhancements. 
It is therefore advisable for Buyers or potential Buyers of such Properties, to 
inspect the Property prior to bidding or prior to shipment or Buyer pickup from 
Saffronart.
In the unlikely event that during such inspection, the Buyer is able to prove 
to the reasonable satisfaction of Saffronart that the Property does not match 
the details give in the (capitalised) heading to the Description, and if, in 
Saffronart's opinion, Bidders being aware of such error or omission would have 
bid significantly less than the actual Sale Price Saffronart shall be entitled 
to rescind the sale and the Seller will be liable to refund to the Buyer the 
Sale Price paid for the Property. The Buyer shall return the Property to 
Saffronart and Saffronart shall hand over the Property to the Seller upon refund 
of the Sale Price paid to him for the Property. Once Saffronart obtains the 
refunded amount from the Seller, it shall forward the same along with the amount 
charged by Saffronart as the Buyer's Premium to the Buyer. This guarantee will 
not be applicable where the Property is being shipped to the Buyer by 
Saffronart.
4.4. In all cases Saffronart retains the right to consult with, at the 
expense of the Buyer, two recognized experts in the field, (such experts being 
mutually acceptable to Saffronart and the Buyer), to examine the Property under 
question before deciding to rescind the sale and offer the refund under the 
above guarantee. The opinion of the experts shall not be binding on 
Saffronart.
4.5. In the event of the Seller's failure to refund the proceeds as stated in 
this clause, the Buyer shall return the Property to Saffronart and authorize 
Saffronart as its agent to initiate legal proceedings against the Seller. Any 
such steps taken or legal proceedings instituted by Saffronart against the 
Seller shall be to the cost of the Buyer.
 
5. Extent of Saffronart's Liability
5.1. Saffronart has an obligation to refund the Sale Price and Buyers' 
Premium to the Buyer only in the circumstances described in Clause 4 above 
(Authenticity Guarantee). Damages, losses or loss in value if any to the artwork 
(excluding frames) incurred during shipping and transit are covered as per the 
insurance policy taken by Saffronart. In case the Buyer opts out of insurance 
coverage arranged for by Saffronart, Saffronart shall not entertain any claims 
for damage or loss during shipping and transit. Subject to the authenticity 
guarantee above, neither Saffronart's suppliers nor Saffronart, nor any of 
Saffronart's employees or agents, shall be responsible, either for the 
correctness of any statements as to the authorship, origin, date, age, 
attributes or genuineness of any Property in the sale, or for any mistakes in 
the Description, or for any faults or defects in the Properties, or for any 
other act or omission, whatsoever. Saffronart offers no guarantee or warranty 
other than the limited assurance contained in the authenticity guarantee 
above.
5.2. It is stated and agreed that the rescission of the sale and the refund 
of the total Sale Price paid by the Buyer is the sole remedy that may be sought 
by a Buyer, and such remedy is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which 
may otherwise be available under law. Saffronart shall not be liable for any 
incidental or consequential damages incurred or claimed.
