However, it is important that you read the following information carefully and note that Sotheby’s acts for the seller; you should refer in particular to Conditions 3 (Duties of Bidders and of Sotheby’s in respect of items for sale) and 4 (Exclusions and limitations of liability to Buyers) of the Conditions of Business for Buyers.

Prospective bidders should also consult www.sothebys.com for the most up to date cataloguing of the property in this catalogue.

Buyer’s Premium and Overhead Premium A buyer’s premium and overhead premium will be added to the hammer price and are payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price. The buyer’s premium is 25% of the hammer price up to and including HK$3,500,000, 20% of any amount in excess of HK$3,500,000 up to and including HK$31,000,000, and 13.9% of any amount in excess of HK$31,000,000. The overhead premium, which covers an allocation of Sotheby's overhead costs relating to our facilities, property handling and other administrative expenses, is 1% of the hammer price.

1. BEFORE THE AUCTION

Deposit If you wish to bid on (✧) lots in the printed catalogue and (✧) lots in the eCatalogue, you may be required to deliver to Sotheby’s a deposit of HK$1,000,000 or such other higher amount as may be determined by Sotheby’s, and any ﬁnancial references, guarantees and/or such other security as Sotheby’s may require in its absolute discretion as security for the bid. In particular, Sotheby’s may request at any time any additional deposit, guarantee and/or other security from any bidder whose total bidding (hammer price plus buyer’s premium and overhead premium) has reached or exceeded ten times the amount of that bidder’s deposit. Sotheby’s may reject any further bidding from such bidder until it has received in full such additional deposit, guarantee and/or other security. Online bidding in a live sale is subject to approval on a lot-by-lot basis.

For any lots other than Premium Lots, regardless of the low pre-sale estimate for the lot, Sotheby’s reserves the right to request from prospective bidders a deposit and any ﬁnancial references, guarantees and/or such other security as Sotheby’s may require in its absolute discretion as security for the bid.

If a client is unsuccessful in bidding for a lot, Sotheby’s will refund the deposit to the client without interest (subject to set off against amounts owed by the client to Sotheby’s) within 21 business days of the sale. Any exchange losses or fees associated with the refund shall be borne by the client.

Sotheby’s decision on the above required for participation in any bidding shall be final.

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 are unable to attend the live auction in person and wish to place bids, or simply wish to bid in advance of the live auction, you may do so on sothebys.com or via the Sotheby's App (each an "Online Platform" and together, the "Online Platforms"). In order to do so, you must register an account with Sotheby'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 Sotheby'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 Sotheby'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 "BIDDING IN THE SALE 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.

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, all 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 and overhead premium.

Condition of Lots Prospective buyers are encouraged to inspect the property at the pre-sale exhibitions. Solely as a convenience, Sotheby’s may provide condition reports. The absence of reference to the condition of a lot in the catalogue description does not imply that the lot is free from faults or imperfections. Please refer to Condition 3 (Duties of Bidders and of Sotheby’s in respect of items for sale) of the Conditions of Business for Buyers .

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, Sotheby’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. BIDDING IN THE SALE

Bidding at the Live Auction Following any applicable online bidding period, bids may be executed during the live auction in person, 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 (Bidding at Auction) and 6 (Conduct of the Auction) of the Conditions of Business for Buyers.

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 in a live sale is subject to approval on a lot-by-lot basis.

Bidding in Person If you would like to bid in person at the live auction, you may register for a paddle prior to the start of the live auction through an Online Platform or by contacting Sotheby’s. Alternatively, you may register for a paddle upon entering the saleroom. Proof of identity will be required. If you are a first-time bidder, you will also be asked for your address, phone number, email address and signature in order to create your account. If you wish to register to bid on a Premium Lot, please see the paragraph above.

Should you be the successful buyer of a lot, please ensure that your paddle can be seen by the auctioneer and that it is your number that is called out. Should there be any doubts as to price or buyer, please draw the auctioneer’s attention to it immediately.

All lots sold will be invoiced to the name and address in which the paddle has been registered and cannot be transferred to other names and addresses.

Please do not mislay your paddle; in the event of loss, inform the Registration Desk immediately. At the end of the sale, please return your paddle to the registration desk.

Telephone Bids If you cannot attend the auction, it may be possible to bid on the telephone on lots with a minimum low estimate of HK$40,000. As the number of telephone lines is limited, it is necessary to make arrangements for this service at least 24 hours before the sale. We also suggest that you leave a maximum bid which we can execute on your behalf in the event we are unable to reach you by telephone. Multi-lingual staff are available to execute bids for you. Telephone bids are accepted only at Sotheby’s discretion and at the caller’s risk. Calls may also be recorded at Sotheby’s discretion. By bidding on the telephone, prospective buyers consent to the relevant risks and recording. Please refer to Condition 5 (Bidding at Auction) of the Conditions of Business for Buyers .

Absentee Bids For some sales (other than where the option to Advance Bid (as defined below) is enabled and a current bid is visible on the Online Platform), if you are unable to attend the live auction in person, 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 Sotheby’s. 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. 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, or by submitting a maximum bid in writing to Sotheby’s. 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 If you cannot attend the live auction, it is possible to bid live online via an Online Platform. For information about registering to bid via an Online Platform please refer to www.sothebys.com. Online bidding in a live sale is subject to approval on a lot-by-lot basis.

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 (Conduct of the Auction) of the Conditions of Business for Buyers .

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

3. THE AUCTION

Conditions of Business Sotheby’s auctions are governed by the Conditions of Business for Sellers and Buyers and the Authenticity Guarantee. These apply to all aspects of the relationship between Sotheby’s and actual and prospective bidders and buyers. Anyone considering bidding in the 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. Online bids are made subject to the Conditions of Business applicable to the sale and the Additional Terms and Conditions for Online Bidding, which are published below and can also be viewed at sothebys.com.

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, Sotheby’s will make an announcement in the sale room that interested parties may bid on the lot. In certain circumstances, interested parties may have knowledge of the reserves.

US Economic Sanctions The United States maintains economic and trade sanctions against targeted foreign countries, groups and organisations. 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 Hong Kong dollars and foreign currencies. Exchange rates are approximations based on recent exchange rate information and should not be relied upon as a precise invoice amount. Sotheby’s assumes no responsibility for any error or omission in the currency amounts shown.

EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS

Symbol Key The following key explains the symbols you may see inside this catalogue.

✧ Premium Lots

In order to bid on “Premium Lots” (✧ in print catalogue, ✧ in eCatalogue), Sotheby’s may request from prospective bidders to deliver to Sotheby’s a deposit of HK$1,000,000 or such other higher amount as may be determined by Sotheby’s, and any ﬁnancial references, guarantees and/or such other security as Sotheby’s may require in its absolute discretion as security for the bid. Online bidding in a live sale is subject to approval on a lot-by-lot basis. If all lots in the catalogue are “Premium Lots”, a Special Notice will be included to this effect and this symbol will not be used.

○ 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 Sotheby’s, or jointly by Sotheby’s and a third party. Sotheby's and any third parties providing a guarantee jointly with Sotheby's benefit financially if a guaranteed lot Is sold successfully and may incur a loss if the sale is not successful. If the Guaranteed Property symbol for a lot is not included in the printing of the auction catalogue, a pre-sale or pre-lot announcement will be made indicating that there is a guarantee on the lot. If every lot in a catalogue is -guaranteed, the Important Notices in the sale catalogue will so state and this symbol will not be used for each lot.

△ Property in which Sotheby’s has an Ownership Interest

Lots with this symbol indicate that Sotheby’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 Sotheby’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, will be compensated based on the final hammer price in the event he or she is not the successful bidder. If the irrevocable bidder is the successful bidder, he or she will be required to pay the full Buyer’s Premium and Overhead Premium and will not be otherwise compensated. From time to time, Sotheby’s may enter into irrevocable bid agreements that cover multiple lots. In such instances, the compensation Sotheby’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 Sotheby’s in respect of any lots for which the irrevocable bidder is not the successful bidder. If the irrevocable bid is not secured until after the printing of the auction catalogue, Sotheby’s will notify bidders that there is an irrevocable bid on the lot by one or more of the following means: a pre-sale or pre-lot announcement, by written notice at the auction or by including an irrevocable bid symbol in the e-catalogue for the sale prior to the auction. From time to time, Sotheby’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, Sotheby’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. In the event the interested party’s possible participation in the sale is not known until after the printing of the auction catalogue, 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 catalogue are offered subject to a reserve. A reserve is the conﬁdential hammer price established between Sotheby’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. If any lots included in this sale are offered without a reserve, these lots are indicated by a box ( □ ). If all lots included in this 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.

◉ 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 10 of the Conditions of Business for Buyers (Failure to collect purchases). Please also refer to the section on Endangered Species in the Buying at Auction Guide. As Indicated in the Endangered Species section, Sotheby's is not able to assist buyers with the shipment of any lots within 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.

➿ Cryptocurrency Accepted

We will accept cryptocurrency as a form of payment for lots with this symbol, subject to the Conditions of Business for Buyers or Conditions of Sale (including the Additional Conditions of Sale for Payment by Cryptocurrency) that are applicable to the sale. Please contact Post Sale Services for more information.

Export The export of any lot from Hong Kong 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 Hong Kong. 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 Hong Kong. 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. Sotheby’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 10 of the Conditions of Business for Buyers (Failure to collect purchases)). Please note that Sotheby'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.

5. ADDITIONAL SERVICES

Financial Services Sotheby’s offers a wide range of ﬁnancial services including advances on consignments, as well as loans secured by art collections not intended for sale. This is not an offer or solicitation and the services are subject to the laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which the services are provided.

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 Sotheby’s ships items for a purchaser in this sale to a destination within a US state in which Sotheby’s is registered to collect sales tax, Sotheby’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 and any shipping services including insurance), of such items, regardless of the country in which the purchaser resides or is a citizen. Where the purchaser has provided Sotheby’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.

However, Sotheby’s may own a Lot (and in such circumstances acts in a principal capacity as Seller) and/or may have a legal, beneficial or financial interest in a Lot as a secured creditor or otherwise.

2. Common Terms

In these Conditions of Business:

"Bidder" is any person considering, making or attempting to make a bid, by whatever means, and includes Buyers;

"Buyer" is the person who makes the highest bid or offer accepted by the auctioneer, and includes such person's principal when bidding as agent;

"Buyer's Expenses" are any costs or expenses due to Sotheby's from the Buyer;

3. Duties of Bidders and of Sotheby’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 Sotheby’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) Each Lot offered for sale at Sotheby’s is available for inspection by Bidders prior to the sale. Sotheby’s accepts bids on Lots solely on the basis that Bidders (and independent experts on their behalf, to the extent appropriate given the nature and value of the Lot and the Bidder's own expertise) have fully inspected the Lot prior to bidding and have satisfied themselves as to both the condition of the Lot and the accuracy of its description. For any NFT Lot, in addition to the foregoing, you are solely responsible for reviewing and inspecting the smart contract, if available, prior to your purchase.

(c) 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 the auction (whether or not Bidders are in attendance at the auction). Condition reports may be available to assist when inspecting Lots. Catalogue descriptions and condition reports may on occasions make reference to particular imperfections of a Lot, but Bidders should note that Lots may have other faults not expressly referred to in the catalogue or condition report. Illustrations are for identification purposes only and will not convey full information as to the actual condition of Lots.

(d) Information provided to Bidders in respect of any Lot, including any estimate, whether written or oral and including information in any catalogue, condition or other report, commentary or valuation, is not a representation of fact but rather is a statement of opinion genuinely held by Sotheby’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 Sotheby's absolute discretion.

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

(f) If the Lot is an NFT, you acknowledge and agree that our staff are not information technology or data experts, and that by bidding in the auction of the NFT, you accept that NFTs are subject to inherent technological risks which may affect their performance now or in the future. You further acknowledge and agree that the characterisation and regulatory scheme governing NFTs, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain technology is uncertain and undetermined, that your purchase and receipt of the NFT complies with applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction, and that new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the auction or the NFT.

(b) Where available, telephone bids are offered as an additional service for no extra charge, at the Bidder's risk and shall be undertaken with reasonable care subject to Sotheby's other commitments at the time of the live auction; Sotheby’s therefore cannot accept liability for failure to place such bids save where such failure is unreasonable. Telephone bids may be recorded.

7. Payment and Collection

7.1 General

(a) Unless otherwise agreed, payment of the Purchase Price for a Lot and any Buyer's Expenses are due in Hong Kong dollars immediately on conclusion of the live auction (the "Due Date") notwithstanding any requirements for export, import or other permits for such Lot.

(b) The Buyer also must pay as part of the Purchase Price any applicable sales tax, compensating use tax, VAT, consumption tax, goods or services tax or other indirect taxes, luxury tax, excise tax, and duties or tariffs (collectively, “Taxes”), as well as any applicable artist resale right royalty, on the purchase of a Lot where and as required by applicable law. Sotheby’s will collect any applicable Taxes and artist resale right royalty on the purchase of a Lot where and as required by applicable law. The Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price in full without any deduction for taxes of any kind, unless such deduction is required by law. In any such case, the amount due to Sotheby’s from the Buyer will be increased to an amount that after deduction for any such taxes leaves an amount equal to the Purchase Price.

(c) Title in a purchased Lot will not pass until Sotheby's has received the Purchase Price and Buyer's Expenses for that Lot 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 Purchase Price and Buyer's Expenses.

7.2 Payment in cryptocurrency

For Lots eligible for payment in cryptocurrencies, payments made in cryptocurrency shall be subject to the terms in this Condition 7.2 in addition to the terms set forth in Condition 7.1 above.

(c) The Buyer will be required to pay the amount of cryptocurrency that is of equivalent value to the Purchase Price, plus a network fee at the time of the Buyer’s payment, as set or determined by Coinbase based on the then-current exchange rate of the cryptocurrency to HKD.

(d) Any payment in cryptocurrency must be made within ten (10) business days of your receipt of the invoice from us, and payment must be made between the hours of 9:00am and 12 noon U.S. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (and not on a U.S. public holiday).

(including Coinbase, Coinbase Pro and Coinbase Prime accounts); (3) Fidelity Digital Assets Services, LLC; (4) Gemini Trust Company, LLC; or (5) Paxos Trust Company, LLC. Partial payments from multiple digital wallets will not be accepted, and you will be required to provide documentation reasonably requested to confirm that you own the wallet used to make payment.

(f) Payments in cryptocurrency will not be accepted other than in accordance with this Condition 7.2. If you make payment in cryptocurrency other than in accordance with this Condition 7.2, we may, in our sole discretion, return those funds to you and hold you responsible for all third-party fees (including, without limitation, network fees, taxes, transfer fees, etc.), and in such circumstances we may require you to pay in the fiat currency of the sale.

(g) Once you initiate a cryptocurrency transaction, the transaction cannot be reversed; this is inherent in the nature of cryptocurrencies and not a policy set by us. You are responsible for verifying that you have sent the correct amount to the correct digital wallet address.

(h) If you make payment in cryptocurrency from a digital wallet or account, you represent and warrant the following: (1) you own the digital wallet and the cryptocurrency used to make payment; (2) the digital wallet or account is not directly or indirectly hosted, operated, or otherwise controlled by anyone that is the subject of Sanctions or located, resident, or organized in a Sanctioned Jurisdiction; (3) the cryptocurrency or any other assets in the digital wallet or account used for the bid or purchase were not sourced from anyone that is the subject of Sanctions or located, resident, or organized in a Sanctioned Jurisdiction; and (4) your payment in cryptocurrency will not cause (or otherwise result in) us, Sellers, or anyone else to violate any Sanctions, anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism, anti-bribery or anti-corruption laws, or any other applicable laws.

(i) We shall have no liability for any payment made by you in cryptocurrency that is not received by us for whatever reason.

(j) You acknowledge the risks inherent to the use of cryptocurrency, including without limitation the risk of faulty or insufficient hardware, software, and internet connections; the risk of introduction or intrusion of malicious code or software; the risk of hacking or unauthorized access to your digital wallet or information stored therein, or of theft or diversion of funds therefrom; volatility and unstable or unfavorable exchange rates; and the risk of unfavorable regulatory intervention and/or tax treatment in relation to transaction in such currency. We will have no liability for any of the foregoing.

7.3 Collection

(a) For all Lots except NFTs, the Buyer is obliged to arrange collection of purchased Lots no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the date of the live 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, Sotheby’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 Sotheby'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.

(b) The provisions of this Condition 7.3(b) apply to NFTs:

(i) In order to receive the NFT, you must have a digital wallet that is capable of supporting and accepting the NFT, and which you, or the company you have registered to bid as, own, and to which you have access. You understand and acknowledge that not all digital wallets can support storage of a non-fungible token, and that if your wallet does not support storage of the NFT purchased by you, you may lose access to that NFT. You further understand and acknowledge that if you fail to provide us with an address for a digital wallet that is capable of supporting and accepting the NFT within five (5) business days of the conclusion of the auction, we may, in our sole discretion, treat the NFT as transferred to you for purposes of Condition 13(a)(ii), treat the NFT Lot as a Lot for which the Buyer has failed to pay in full for purposes of Condition 9, and hold you responsible for all resulting third-party fees (including, without limitation, custodial fees, insurance, network fees, taxes, transfer fees, etc.).

(ii) We or the Seller will transfer the NFT to the digital wallet that you have specified, after you have met the conditions in Condition 7 herein. You agree that we may require you to follow a security protocol to ensure that the NFT is safely received by you. We will transfer the NFT to the wallet address specified by you and are not responsible for confirming that you have supplied us with the correct or a valid address, and we are not responsible if the transfer of the NFT to your wallet fails unless such failure is the result of us sending the NFT to a wallet address other than the one provided by you.

8. Remedies for late or non-payment

Without prejudice to any rights the Seller may have, if the Buyer without prior agreement fails to make payment in full for the Lot within five days of the live auction, or in accordance with any payment schedule agreed with Sotheby’s, Sotheby'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 or, if the Lot is an NFT, to store such Lot at Sotheby’s or the Seller’s digital wallet or elsewhere at the Buyer’s sole risk and expense;

(b) terminate the contract of the sale of the Lot, retaining the right to damages for the Buyer’s breach of contract;

(c) set off any amounts owed to the Buyer by a Sotheby’s Company against (i) any amounts owed to Sotheby's by the Buyer in respect of the Lot, (ii) any shortfall in the Purchase Price and Buyer's Expenses in the event of a resale under Condition 8(h) below (on a pro-rata basis where more than one Lot is purchased by the Buyer at the auction and is then resold), and/or (iii) any claim by Sotheby's against the Buyer for damages for the Buyer's breach of contract (including but not limited to the Buyer's Premium and Overhead Premium in the event of a termination of the sale contract);

(d) apply as Sotheby’s sees fit any payments, including deposits, made by or on behalf of the Buyer in respect of this transaction or otherwise, towards (i) any costs, Buyer’s Expenses or debts owed by the Buyer to any Sotheby’s Company , and/or (ii) any shortfall in the Purchase Price and Buyer's Expenses in the event of a resale under Condition 8(h) below (on a pro-rata basis where more than one Lot is purchased by the Buyer at the auction and is then resold), and/or (iii) any claim by Sotheby's against the Buyer for damages for the Buyer's breach of contract (including but not limited to the Buyer's Premium and Overhead Premium in the event of a termination of the sale contract). For the avoidance of doubt, if more than one Lot is purchased by the Buyer at the auction and the Buyer makes a partial payment but fails to pay in full the Purchase Price of all Lots purchased by him within five days of the auction or in accordance with any payment schedule agreed with Sotheby's, Sotheby's is entitled, at its absolute discretion, to reject any instruction or request that the whole or a part of such partial payment be applied towards the Purchase Price of, and/or the shortfall and/or Sotheby's claim for damages in respect of, any particular Lot(s) purchased by the Buyer;

(e) reject future bids from the Buyer or render such bids subject to payment of a deposit; such deposit to be applied at Sotheby’s discretion in the event of subsequent non-payment or late payment;

(f) charge interest at a rate not exceeding 2% per month from the Due Date to the date the Purchase Price and relevant Buyer's Expenses are received in cleared funds;

(g) exercise a lien over any of the Buyer’s property which is in the possession of a Sotheby’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 Sotheby’s, and/or any shortfall in the Purchase Price and Buyer's Expenses in the event of a resale under Condition 8(h) below (on a pro-rata basis where more than one Lot is purchased by the Buyer at the auction and is then resold), and/or any claim by Sotheby's against the Buyer for damages for the Buyer's breach of contract (including but not limited to the Buyer's Premium and Overhead Premium in the event of a termination of the sale contract);

(h) resell the Lot by auction or private sale, with estimates and reserves at Sotheby'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, or to claim damages for the Buyer’s breach of contract, 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 or claim damages for the Buyer’s breach of contract and legal costs. Sotheby's will take reasonable steps to notify the Buyer prior to releasing such details to the Seller.

9. Bidder’s and/or Buyer’s Warranties

(a) The Bidder and/or Buyer warrants that:

(i) the Bidder and/or Buyer is not subject to trade sanctions, embargoes or any other restriction on trade in the jurisdiction in which it does business as well as under the laws of Hong Kong, the European Union, the laws of England and Wales, or the laws and regulations of the United States, and is not owned (nor partly owned) or controlled by such sanctioned person(s) (collectively, “Sanctioned Person(s)”); and

(i) the Principal(s) is not a Sanctioned Person(s) nor owned (or partly owned) or controlled by Sanctioned Person(s);

(ii) the funds used for purchase and settlement of the Lot(s) are not connected with, nor have any link to any criminal activity, including without limitation tax evasion, money laundering, terrorist activities or other criminal activity and that the arrangements between the Agent and the Principal(s) of the Lot(s) or otherwise do not, in whole or in part facilitate tax crimes;

If Sotheby’s has not completed its enquiries in respect of anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing or other checks as it considers appropriate concerning the Bidder and/or Buyer or the Seller to Sotheby’s satisfaction at its discretion, Sotheby’s shall be entitled either not to complete or to cancel the sale of any Lot, as appropriate, and to take any further action required or permitted under applicable law without any liability to the Bidder and/or Buyer.

10. Failure to collect purchases

Without prejudice to Conditions 3 and 4 above, Sotheby'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. We shall not be responsible for any liability arising from any failure to complete or submit the required export or import manifest, list or documentation.

(e) The materials listed in Condition 1(a) above set out the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

13. Risk and Responsibility for Lots

(a) Risk and responsibility for a purchased Lot will transfer to the Buyer as follows:

(i) for Lots in live auctions: on the earlier of: (1) collection of the Lot, or (2) the 31^st calendar day after the sale, or if applicable, the expiry of the time specified in the special sale information available on our website, except that risk and responsibility for wine or spirits casks will transfer to the Buyer upon the fall of the hammer. For any Lots stored by a third party and not available for collection from our premises, your provision to us of instructions authorizing the release to the Buyer shall constitute collection by the Buyer.

(ii) For NFTs: After transfer of the NFT to the digital wallet specified by you, you are thereafter responsible for secure storage of the NFT in the wallet or other storage mechanism you use to receive and/or hold the NFT. You further acknowledge that you are solely responsible for any risks associated with the transferring, creating, holding, storing, or use of NFTs or a digital wallet, as applicable, including network failures or disruptions; corrupted wallet files; viruses, phishing, bruteforcing, hacking, security breaches, mining attacks, or other means of attack against the NFT; risk of losing access to the NFT due to loss of private key(s); custodial or buyer error; regulatory interference in one or more jurisdictions; token taxation; personal information disclosure; uninsured losses; failure to provide appropriate maintenance (including without limitation hosting); and other unanticipated risks. Neither we nor the Seller will not be responsible for any such risks or losses.

(b) Once risk passes to the Buyer, the Buyer irrevocably releases each Sotheby’s Company, our and their respective officers and employees, agents, warehouses and the Seller, from any and all claims, causes of action, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees) for loss of or damage to the Lot.

(c) Prior to the time when risk and responsibility for a purchased Lot transfers to the Buyer, we assume liability for loss or damage to a Lot, subject to the exclusions set out in the following subparagraph. In the event of loss or damage for which we have assumed liability, we will determine the extent of depreciation to the Lot, if any, caused by the loss or damage and compensate the Buyer in respect of that loss up to a maximum of the Purchase Price paid by the Buyer for the Lot.

(d) We will not be liable for any loss or damage (1) occurring during any process undertaken by independent contractors engaged with your consent, including but not limited to for restoration, conservation, framing or cleaning; (2) caused to frames or to glass covering prints, paintings or other flat works; or (3) caused by changes in humidity or temperature (as long as we take reasonable care in handling the Lot), normal wear and tear, gradual deterioration or inherent vice or defect (including woodworm), war, any act or acts of terrorism (as defined by our insurers), nuclear fission, radioactive contamination, or chemical, bio-chemical or electromagnetic weapons. If the Lot is an NFT, in addition to the above, we will not be liable for any loss related to damage or corruption to the Referenced Content, failure of the NFT to reference the Referenced Content, or loss of, or other security or persistence issues related to, the Referenced Content.

(e) Upon your receipt of payment from us for any loss or damage to a Lot in accordance with this Condition, you, on your own behalf and on behalf of your insurer(s), irrevocably release us and the Seller from all liability for loss of or damage to such Lot and irrevocably waive all rights and claims that you might have against us or the Seller in connection with the same.

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR ONLINE BIDDING

The following terms and conditions (the “Online Terms”) provide important information related to online bidding on sothebys.com or via the Sotheby's App (each, an "Online Platform" and together, the “Online Platforms”). These Online Terms are in addition to and subject to the same law which governs our standard Conditions of Business for Sellers, Conditions of Business for Buyers, the authenticity guarantee and any other terms that are applicable to the relevant sale (together “Conditions of Business”), and are not intended in any way to replace them. By participating in this sale via any Online Platform, you acknowledge that you are bound by the Conditions of Business applicable in the relevant sale and by these Online Terms.

Advance Bidding

1. In the case of certain auctions, bidders can bid in advance of the live auction through an Online Platform ("Advance Bids"). In order to do so, you must register an account with Sotheby's and provide requested information. You may bid at or above the starting bid displayed on the relevant Online Platform. Please note that Sotheby's reserves the right to amend the starting bid prior to the start of the live auction.

You may also input a maximum bid which, upon confirmation, will be executed automatically up to this predefined maximum value, in response to other bids, including bids placed by Sotheby's on behalf of the seller, up to the amount of the reserve (if applicable). Please note that reserves may be set at any time before the start of the live auction and your maximum bid may be executed against the reserve once such reserve is set. Bids placed by Sotheby's on behalf of the seller, up to the amount of the reserve, will be counted towards the total bid count displayed on the Online Platform.

The current leading bid will be visible to all bidders; the value and status of your maximum bid will be visible only to you unless it is the leading bid. If the status of your bid changes, you will receive notifications via email and push (if you have the Sotheby’s App installed) leading up to the live auction. You may raise your maximum bid at any time in advance of the live auction. Once the live auction begins, the auctioneer will open bidding at the current leading bid. The system will continue to bid on your behalf up to your predetermined maximum bid, or you may continue to bid via an Online Platform during the live auction at the next increment. You may nevertheless lower your maximum bid prior to the live auction by contacting Sotheby’s, except that you may not lower it to a level lower than the current leading bid.

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).

Live Online Bidding

2. Once it commences, a live auction is by its nature fast-moving and bidding may progress very quickly. The procedure for placing bids during the live auction is therefore a one-step process; as soon as the “Place Bid” button is clicked, a bid is submitted. By bidding online, you accept and agree that bids submitted in this way are final and that you may not be permitted to amend or retract your bid. If a successful bid is sent to Sotheby’s from an Online Platform using your Sotheby’s account, you irrevocably agree to pay the full purchase price, including buyer’s premium, overhead premium and all applicable taxes and other applicable charges.

AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE

ANY PROPERTY (EXCEPT JEWELLERY TO WHICH THE AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE SET OUT BELOW APPLY)

If Sotheby’s sells an item which subsequently is shown to be a “counterfeit”, subject to the terms below Sotheby’s will set aside the sale and refund to the Buyer the total amount paid by the Buyer to Sotheby’s for the item, in the currency of the original sale.

For these purposes, “counterfeit” means a lot that in Sotheby’s reasonable opinion is an imitation created to deceive as to authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description of such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue (taking into account any Glossary of Terms). No lot shall be considered a counterfeit by reason only of any damage and/or restoration and/or modification work of any kind (including repainting or over-painting).

Please note that this Guarantee does not apply if either:

(i) the catalogue description was in accordance with the generally accepted opinions of scholars and experts at the date of the sale, or the catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or

(ii) the only method of establishing at the date of the sale that the item was a counterfeit would have been by means of processes not then generally available or accepted, unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely to have caused damage to the lot or likely (in Sotheby’s reasonable opinion) to have caused loss of value to the lot; or

(iii) there has been no material loss in value of the lot from its value had it been in accordance with its description.

This Guarantee is provided for a period of five (5) years after the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the Buyer and may not be transferred to any third party. To be able to claim under this Guarantee, the Buyer must:

(i) notify Sotheby’s in writing within three (3) months of receiving any information that causes the Buyer to question the authenticity or attribution of the item, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons why it is thought to be counterfeit; and

(ii) return the item to Sotheby’s in the same condition as at the date of sale to the Buyer and be able to transfer good title in the item, free from any third party claims arising after the date of the sale.

Sotheby's has discretion to waive any of the above requirements. Sotheby's may require the Buyer to obtain at the Buyer's cost the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Sotheby's and the Buyer. Sotheby's shall not be bound by any reports produced by the Buyer, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. In the event Sotheby's decides to rescind the sale under this Guarantee, it may refund to the Buyer the reasonable costs of up to two mutually approved independent expert reports.

ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE FOR CHINESE MODERN PAINTINGS AND CHINESE CLASSICAL PAINTINGS

In respect of fine Chinese paintings, the artists’ names recorded in this catalogue (if any) are not to be taken as unqualified attributions to the artists named. No unqualified attributions to any artist or date are made or intended. The current scholarship in the field of Chinese paintings does not permit unqualified statements as to authorship or date of execution. Therefore, none of the Chinese paintings in this sale are subject to any guarantee of authenticity and all such property is sold as is in accordance with the Conditions of Business. Any assistance given by Sotheby’s staff to a buyer in selecting a purchase is given without prejudice to the above. Buyers are recommended to take independent professional advice on selection of purchases.

ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE FOR WATCHES

All wristwatches are sold as viewed and cannot be returned on the grounds that repairs have been carried out or parts supplied by anyone other than the named makers.

Watches may not be taken apart whilst on view. Prospective buyers or their agents wishing to do so should make an appointment with the Watch Department for a private view the week before the sale. Although condition reports may be given on request, such reports are statements of opinion only and may not specify all mechanical replacements or imperfections in the movement, case and dial. All dimensions are approximate.

Watches in water-resistant cases have been opened to examine movements but no warranties are made that the watches are currently water-resistant.

Please note that we do not guarantee the authenticity of any individual component parts, such as wheels, hands, crowns, crystals, screws, bracelets and leather bands, since subsequent repairs and restoration work may have resulted in the replacement of original parts.

Please be advised that straps made of material derived from endangered or otherwise protected species (i.e. alligator and crocodile) are not sold with the watches and are for display purposes only. We reserve the right to remove these straps prior to shipping. Furthermore, in reference to watch bands, we do not guarantee the material of manufacture. Please be advised that the purchaser will be responsible for complying with any applicable export and import matters, particularly in relation to endangered species and the United States Department of Fish and Wildlife Services.

We make no representation or warranty as to the condition of any lot sold.

AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE FOR JEWELLERY

If Sotheby’s sells any gemstone or pearls which the Buyer subsequently shows to Sotheby’s reasonable satisfaction not to be genuine or of natural origin, subject to the terms below Sotheby’s will set aside the sale and refund to the Buyer the total amount paid by the Buyer to Sotheby’s for such gemstones or pearls, in the currency of the original sale.

This Guarantee is provided for a period of twenty-one (21) days after the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the Buyer and may not be transferred to any third party. To be able to claim under this Guarantee, the Buyer must:

(i) notify Sotheby’s in writing within such 21 day period of the reasons for not believing the gemstones or pearls to be genuine or of natural origin, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased; and

Sotheby’s has discretion to waive any of the above requirements. Sotheby’s may require the Buyer to obtain at the Buyer’s cost the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Sotheby’s and the Buyer. Sotheby’s shall not be bound by any reports produced by the Buyer, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. In the event Sotheby’s decides to rescind the sale under this Guarantee, it may refund to the Buyer the reasonable costs of up to two mutually approved independent expert reports.

蘇富比上述就參與任何拍賣所需的決定皆為最終決定。

現場拍賣會前預先競投　某些拍賣在拍賣會開始前有一段時間接受網上競投。閣下如未能親身出席此等拍賣會，並希望競投，或希望在拍賣會開始前競投，可透過網頁sothebys.com 或蘇富比應用程式參與（各自為「網上（競投）平台」之一，合共組成「網上（競投）平台」）。為確保競投順利，閣下必須於蘇富比登記賬戶並提供所需資料。完成登記手續後，可進入目標拍品之頁面，點擊「Place Bid」按鈕進行出價。閣下之出價可能與網上（競投）平台顯示之起標價相同，或高於此金額。請留意，蘇富比保留於拍賣會開始前修改起標價之權利。閣下亦可輸入最高競投，經確認後，平台會自動代閣下競投，以回應其他競投，包括蘇富比代表賣家以底價為最高限額（如適用）之競投，直至達到閣下之最高競投為止。所有競投人均能看見拍品當前之最高競投而閣下本人最高競投之金額及詳情只供閣下查閱。如閣下之競投情況有變，閣下將會收到電郵及推送通知（如閣下已開啟電子設備之推送通知功能），直至拍賣會開始。閣下可於拍賣會開始前任何時間提高最高競投。請留意在某些情況下，競投被超越之競投人可能會重新成為最高競投人，並收到電郵或推送通知（如閣下已開啟電子設備之推送通知功能）。請進一步參閱下文「拍賣之競投」章節。網上競投須受「網上競投之額外條款及細則」及適用於本拍賣之「業務規則」約束，「網上競投之額外條款及細則」列於下文，在sothebys.com 上亦可供查閱。

拍賣前估價　拍賣前估價用意在於為準買家提供指引。本公司認為，介乎拍賣前高位與低位估價間之任何競投價均有成功機會。然而，所有拍賣品之價格可能高於或低於拍賣前估價。由於估價可予修改，因此閣下應在臨近拍賣時諮詢本公司。估價並不包括買家酬金及營運附加費。

拍賣品之狀況　準買家應於拍賣前之展覽會上視察拍賣品。純為方便買家，蘇富比亦會提供拍賣品狀況報告。如圖錄中未說明拍賣品之狀況，不表示該拍賣品沒有缺陷或瑕疵。請參閱印於買家之業務規則第3 條（競投人及蘇富比有關出售物品之責任）。

電器及機械貨品　所有電器及機械貨品只按其藝術及裝飾價值出售，不應假設其可運作。電器在作任何用途前必須經合格電器技師檢驗和批核。

展品之出處　在某些情況下，若展品出處之資料擁有學術價值或是為人熟悉且能協助鑑別該展品，「蘇富比」會列出有關資料。但基於不同理由，賣方或上手物主之身份或不會被揭露，如因應賣方要求將其身份保密或因展品年代久遠以致上手物主之身份不詳等。

2. 拍賣之競投

電話競投　如閣下未能出席拍賣會，或可透過電話競投低位估價最低為港幣40，000 元之拍賣品。由於電話線路有限，因此必須於拍賣前至少 24 小時安排此項服務。本公司亦建議閣下表明最高限價，以便當本公司不能以電話聯絡閣下時可代表閣下競投。本公司有多位通曉多國語言之職員可為閣下進行競投。蘇富比對是否接納電話競投擁有最終決定權，風險由致電人承擔。蘇富比亦可能就電話對話內容進行錄音。參與電話競投之準買家同意相關風險及錄音。請參閱買家之業務規則第5 條（拍賣會上競投出價）。

缺席競投　如閣下未能親身出席某些拍賣會（除了已啟用「預先競投」（定義如下）之選項，且網上（競投）平台已顯示當前叫價的情況以外），可在拍賣會開始前透過網上（競投）平台，或以書面形式向蘇富比提交申請，於拍賣前提交最高競投。當閣下參與競投之項目開始拍賣，拍賣官將代表閣下出價，全力以最低價錢購得拍品，而且絕對不會超出閣下之最高競投。此服務免費且保密。

預先競投　某些拍賣會之競投人可於拍賣會開始前，透過網上（競投）平台出價（「預先競投」），方法如上文所述或以書面形式向蘇富比提交最高競投。於此等拍賣會中，如閣下在拍賣會開始前提交「預先競投」，系統會自動代閣下競投，以回應其他競投，直至達到閣下預定之最高預先競投為止，並以電郵及推送通知告知閣下（如閣下已開啟電子設備之推送通知功能）。拍賣會進行期間，如閣下之預先競投為最高出價，拍賣官將代表閣下出價，以回應其他競投。閣下亦可於拍賣直播進行期間，繼續透過網上（競投）平台，以超越閣下最高預先競投之價格參與下一口叫價，方法如下文「在拍賣直播期間網上競投」一節所述。

拍賣會期間網上競投　如閣下無法出席拍賣會現場，或可透過網上平台，在拍賣直播期間參與競投。有關登記參與網上競投之詳情，請參閱 www.sothebys.com。現場拍賣會的網上競投須就個別拍賣品取得批准。

接續及回應競投　拍賣官或會為任何一項拍品代賣家出價以起標。拍賣官或會以接續出價或回應出價的方式繼續代賣家出價，直至達到底價為止。請參閱買家之業務規則第6 條（拍賣之進行）。

僱員競投　蘇富比之僱員只可在不知底價及全面遵守蘇富比監管僱員競投之內部規例之情況下於蘇富比拍賣會上競投。

3. 拍賣

業務規則　蘇富比拍賣會受賣方及買家之業務規則及真品保證所規限。該等業務規則及保證適用於蘇富比與實際或準競投人及準買家之間之各方面的關係。任何考慮於拍賣會競投之人士，務須詳閱該等業務規則及保證。該等業務規則及保證可經在拍賣會場張貼通告或由拍賣官作出公佈之方式進行修改。網上競投受載於下文和 sothebys.com 網頁上之適用於本拍賣之業務規則以及「網上競投之額外條款及細則」約束。

有利害關係各方之公告　倘獲准競投拍賣品之人士直接或間接擁有該拍賣品之權益，如為出售拍賣品之遺產受益人或執行人，或為拍賣品之共同擁有人，或提供或參與拍賣品擔保人士，蘇富比將會在拍賣會場發表公告表示有利害關係各方可能競投拍賣品。在某些情況下，有利害關係的各方可能知悉底價。

美國經濟制裁　美國維持對目標海外國家、集團及組織之經濟及貿易制裁。來自緬甸、古巴、伊朗、北韓及蘇丹等被制裁國家之某些物品可能在進口美國時受到限制。因上述或其他限制而導致買家無法將物品進口至美國或任何其他國家，不應作為取消或撤回拍賣或任何延遲付款之理由。如閣下不確定拍品是否受上述進口限制或任何其他進出口限制影響，請向專家部門查詢。

貨幣顯示板　拍賣場內之外匯顯示板旨在為競投人提供方便。螢幕上顯示拍品編號及以港元和其他外幣計算之當前叫價。顯示之匯率貼近最新匯率資訊，且不應作為賬單上之準確金額。蘇富比並不就顯示板上的貨幣金額中出現之任何錯誤或紕漏承擔責任。

我方保留向已收取款項來源索取證明之權利。

業務規則要求買家在拍賣後立即為其已購物品付款。不過在有限情況下，並在賣家同意之情況下，蘇富比可授予其認為信譽良好的買家延遲付款期限之選項，為其已購物品付款。信貸條款必須在拍賣會前安排。在確定是否授予延遲付款期限之前，蘇富比可能會要求提供信貸參考資料、身份及居住證明。

符號表示

以下為本圖錄所載符號之說明：

✧ 高估價拍賣品

蘇富比可要求競投高估價拍賣品（在目錄內標有符號或網上目錄內標有符號）的準競投人交付蘇富比港幣1，000，000 元或其他由蘇富比決定之更大金額的訂金及任何財務狀況證明，擔保或/及其他由蘇富比可全權酌情決定要求的抵押作為參加蘇富比競投的保障。現場拍賣會的網上競投須就個別拍賣品取得批准。若在同一目錄中所有拍賣品均為高估價拍賣品，則會就此作出特別通知而不會使用此符號。

○ 保證項目　

附上○符號之拍賣品表示賣家獲保證可在一次或一連串拍賣中得到最低售出價。此保證可由蘇富比或由蘇富比與第三方共同提供。若成功售出保證拍賣品，蘇富比及任何與蘇富比共同提供保證之第三方可能會取得財務利益惟銷售不成功則可能會產生虧損。若拍賣圖錄裡未有為某項保證拍賣品附上此符號，其保證會於拍賣前或該項拍品開拍前宣布。若在同一圖錄中之所有拍賣品均得到此保證，該保證會在本銷售圖錄所載之重要指示中註明，而此符號將不會用於每一項拍賣品。

△ 蘇富比擁有業權權益之拍賣品　

附有△符號之拍賣品表示蘇富比擁有該拍賣品全部或部份之所有權益，或在拍賣品中擁有相等於所有權益之經濟利益。

⋑ 不可撤銷投標　

附有此符號之拍賣品表示已有競投方就拍賣品向蘇富比做出不可撤銷投標的承諾。於拍賣進行時該投標將會以一確保拍賣品定能拍出之價格執行。該不可撤銷競投方可以超過不可撤銷投標之價格競投。如該方競投不成功，該方將會得到以最後落槌價作基準的補償。倘不可撤銷競投方競投成功，則須支付全數買家酬金及營運附加費，並不會得到任何其他報酬補償。蘇富比或會不時就數項拍品達成不可撤銷投標協議。如有此情況，蘇富比會按照不可撤銷競投方未有成功得標的拍品，向其分配並支付賠償。在此情況下，不可撤銷競投方就其未能成功得標的任何拍品所獲的賠償，將不多於其向蘇富比支付之買家酬金及其他款項相加的總額。倘不可撤銷投標於在拍賣圖錄印製後才接獲，蘇富比會以下列其中一種或一種以上的方式通知競投人：拍賣前或該拍品開拍前、拍賣會上的書面通告、於拍賣開始前在電子圖錄裡附載不可撤銷投標符號。蘇富比或任何附屬公司或會不時就該不可撤銷投標，為不可撤銷競投方提供資助。如不可撤銷競投方向任何人士對拍賣品作出建議，蘇富比要求不可撤銷競投方必須向該人士披露己方與拍賣品有經濟利害關係。如有顧問建議閣下或代閣下競投有不可撤銷投標之拍賣品，閣下應要求該顧問披露是否與拍賣品有經濟利害關係。

* 有利害關係的各方　

附有*符號之拍賣品表示對拍賣品有直接或間接利害關係的各方可能對拍賣品作出競投，包括(i)出售拍賣品之遺產受益人，或(ii)拍賣品之聯權共有人。倘有利害關係的一方為成功競投人，他們須支付全數買家酬金及營運附加費。在某些情況下，有利害關係的各方可能知悉底價。倘在拍賣圖錄印製後才獲悉有利害關係的一方可能參與拍賣，一則示意有利害關係的各方可能對拍賣品作出競投之公告將於該拍賣品拍賣前作出。

□ 無底價　

除以□符號另作註明外，所有在此圖錄之拍賣品均有底價。底價是由蘇富比和賣家共同設定之落鎚價位，且絕對機密。拍賣品不會以低於該價售出。底價通常以低位估價之一定比例來設定，且不會高於以拍賣品的低位估價。本拍賣之拍賣品如不設底價，均會以□符號註明。若在本拍賣之所有拍賣品均不設底價，則不會在每項拍品以□符號註明，而是採用特別通知。

附有此符號之拍賣品於編制目錄當時已識別為含有有機物料，而有關物料可能受到進出口之限制。有關資料為方便買家查閱，而無附有該符號並非保證該拍賣品並無進出口之限制。競投人應參閱買家之業務規則第10條（未領取購置品），亦請參閱「於拍賣會上購買」有關瀕危物種一節。一如「瀕危物種」條目所載，蘇富比無法協助買家將任何附有此符號的拍品運送到美國。買家無法出口或進口任何附有此符號之拍品，並不能構成延遲付款或取消買賣的理由。

➿ 接受加密貨幣

我們將在適用於出售的買家業務規則或拍賣規則（包括加密貨幣付款的其他拍賣規則）規限下，接受加密貨幣作為附帶此符號拍賣品的付款方式。詳情請聯絡售後服務部。

出口　任何拍賣品都可能需要一或多個許可證方可自香港出口或由其他國家進口。買家須負責取得任何有關之進出口許可證。即使未能取得任何許可證或延遲取得該許可證，均不能構成取消成交或任何延遲支付到期應付總額之理由。蘇富比可應要求申領牌照，將閣下之拍賣品出口至香港境外，惟會就此收取行政費用。蘇富比建議閣下保留所有進出口文件（包括許可證），在某些國家閣下可能須向政府當局出示此類文件。

瀕危物種　由植物或動物材料（如珊瑚、鱷魚、象牙、鯨骨、玳瑁等）製成或含有植物或動物材料之物品，不論其年份或價值，均可能須申領許可證或證書方可出口至香港境外，且由香港境外國家進口時可能須申領其他許可證或證書。務請注意，能取得出口許可證或證書並不能確保可在另一國家取得進口許可證或證書，反之亦然。例如，進口非洲象牙至美國即屬非法，在某些旨在保育野生動植物的美國規例約束下，進口象牙至美國境內亦有其他限制。蘇富比建議買家向相關政府查核有關野生動植物進口之規定後再參與競投。買家須負責取得任何出口或進口許可證及／或證書，以及任何其他所需文件（請參閱買家之業務規則第10 條（未領取購置品））。請注意，蘇富比無法協助買家將任何含有象牙及／或其他受限制材料的拍品運送至美國境內。買家無法出口或進口此等拍品，並不能構成延遲付款或取消買賣的理由。所有付運貨品交貨之時應打開包裝檢查，如有任何不符之處，應立刻通知閣下報價單及／或附帶文件上列明的一方。

5. 其他服務

財務服務　蘇富比向客戶提供多種財務服務，其中包括為委託提供預付款、及以不擬出售之藝術收藏品作為抵押之貸款。本文並不構成建議或要約。本文所述之服務均須受制於該服務地區之法律及法規司法管轄。有關進一步資料，請致電倫敦的蘇富比財務服務部，電話號碼是+44 20 7293 6005。

拍賣前估價　蘇富比樂意為閣下之物品提供拍賣前初步估價，此項免費服務由香港蘇富比之專家提供，服務時間為周一至五上午九時三十分至下午四時三十分。本公司建議閣下與有關之專家部門作預約。如有所要求，本公司更會到府上為閣下之物品提供拍賣前初步估價。

估值　估值部門就保險、遺囑認證及承繼權劃分、資產管理及稅務方案需要提供物品之書面清單及估值。估值費用相宜，可因應不同要求而作出，並能切合大部份需要。如欲索取更多資料，請與有關之專家部門聯絡，電話號碼為(852) 2524 8121。

銷售及使用稅

買家請注意，當進口物品時，或須繳付當地之銷售稅或使用稅（例如進口物品至美國並付運到某些州份時，或需繳付使用稅）。買家應自行就此方面尋求稅務意見。蘇富比付運本次拍賣之物品目的地為美國而蘇富比在此美國州登記為美國銷售稅納稅人時，蘇富比必須徵收並繳交當地之銷售或使用稅，該稅項根據成交總額而定（總額包括落槌價、買家佣金、營運附加費及任何包括保險之運送服務費用），買家不論居住國家或國籍為何，必須繳付相關稅項。如買家於蘇富比付運物品前，向蘇富比提供有效之轉售豁免證明(Resale Exemption Certificate)，蘇富比將不會向買家收取有關稅項。閣下如欲提供與本次交易相關之轉售豁免證明(Resale Exemption Certificate)，請聯絡售後服務部。

網上競投之額外條款及細則

以下條款及細則（「網上條款」）提供有關在 sothebys.com 或通過 Sotheby’s 應用程式（「網上平台」）進行網上競投的重要資訊。

本「網上條款」為附加並受相同法例和我司賣家業務規則，買家之業務規則，真品保證和適用於相關拍賣的任何其他條款的規限（統稱「業務規則」），並非以任何方式替代它們。當閣下以任何網上平台參與本拍賣，表示閣下承認受相關拍賣適用的業務規則和本額外規則所約束。

預先競投

1. 某些拍賣會之競投人可於拍賣會開始前，透過網上（競投）平台出價（「預先競投」）。為確保競投順利，閣下必須於蘇富比登記賬戶並提供所需資料。您可以按相關網上平台所顯示的起標價出價，或以提出高於起標價的出價。請注意，蘇富比保留權利在現場拍賣會開始前更改起標價。

您也可輸入一個最高出價，經確認後，將自動回應其他出價，包括蘇富比代表賣家以底價為最高限額（如適用）的出價，競投至您預定的最高出價。請注意，現場拍賣會開始前任何一刻都可設定底價，當底價設定後，閣下的最高出價可回應底價執行。蘇富比代表賣家提出、直至達到底價為止的出價，將顯示於網上平台，作為總出價次數的一部分。

所有競投人均能看見拍品當前之最高競投；而閣下本人最高競投之金額及詳情只供閣下查閱。如閣下之競投情況有變，閣下將會收到電郵及推送通知（如閣下已開啟電子設備之推送通知功能），直至現場拍賣會開始。閣下可於現場拍賣會開始前任何時間提高最高競投。現場拍賣會開始後，拍賣官將以目前最高出價開始競投。系統將繼續為您出價，直至達到您先前預定的最高出價，或您可在現場拍賣會間通過網上平台在下一口叫價上繼續出價。您亦可以在現場拍賣會開始前聯絡競投部，以降低您的最高出價，但不能降至低於目前的最高出價。

請留意在某些情況下，競投被超越之競投人可能會重新成為最高競投人，並收到電郵或推送通知（如閣下已開啟電子設備之推送通知功能）。

在現場拍賣會期間網上競投

2. 拍賣會開始後，現場情況會迅速發展，出價進展也會很快速。因此現場拍賣會時的出價只需一個步驟；一旦「出價」按鈕被點擊，便已提交出價。在網上競投，代表閣下接受並同意此方式下的出價是您的最終決定，閣下在任何情況下都將不被准許修改或撤回您的出價。如從閣下的蘇富比帳戶通过網上平台發送至蘇富比的出價競投成功，則表示閣下同意支付拍賣物品總成交價金額，包括買家酬金、營運附加費、其他相關費用和相關稅項。您亦可以在現場拍賣會開始前聯絡競投部，以降低您的最高出價，但不能降至低於目前的最高出價。

3. 為閣下便利，下一口價將為您顯示。拍賣官有權為拍賣會現場和電話競投的競投人更改每口叫價數目，但使用網上平台的競投人將不能以整數以外的每口叫價數目出價。拍賣的所有出價均為出售之所在地的本地貨幣網上競投人將不會看到展示於現場拍賣會的匯率顯示板。

網上平台之一般使用

4.在網上平台競投，代表閣下接受並同意此方式下的出價是您的最終決定，閣下在任何情況下都將不被准許修改或撤回您的出價。如從閣下的蘇富比帳戶通过網上平台發送至蘇富比的出價競投成功，則表示閣下同意支付拍賣物品總成交價金額，包括買家酬金、營運附加費、其他相關費用和相關稅項。

5. 在所有爭議中，蘇富比持有的拍賣紀錄是絕對和最終的紀錄。如果閣下收到的任何網上紀錄或訊息與蘇富比持有的拍賣紀錄有差異，概以拍賣紀錄為準。

6. 網上競投人有責任自行留意所有重要拍賣通告和公佈，重要拍賣通告和公佈可見於網上平台。

7. 蘇富比保留權利拒絕或撤回在網上平台競投的許可，也可在拍賣進行中取消競投特權。

8. 在 Sotheby’s 程式「我的出價」部分和 Sothebys.com 網站「我的賬戶」中「賬戶活動」部分出現的購買資訊僅為閣下便利而設。成功競投人士將於拍賣後收到通知和賬單。如有可能出現在「我的出價」部分之網上購買資訊與蘇富比在拍賣後寄給閣下的賬單有差異，則以賬單為準。不論成功的出價是如何遞交，付款及領取拍賣物品之條款及規則都維持不變。

9. 網上競投為蘇富比提供給客戶的便利。蘇富比不對任何網上競投的錯誤或故障負責，該錯誤或故障包括但不限於，(i) 蘇富比或客戶失去網絡連接或失去網上競投軟件的連接；(ii) 網上競投軟件出現的故障或問題；或(iii) 客戶的網絡連接、電腦或電子設備出現故障或問題。蘇富比不對任何網上競投出價失敗或任何連接錯誤和遺漏負責。

10. 網上競投將被紀錄。

11. 如此等網上條款與蘇富比業務規則及蘇富比真實保證之條款有任何抵觸，概以蘇富比業務規則及蘇富比真實保證之條款為準。

真品保證

適用於所有物品 (珠寶除外 - 適用於珠寶之真品保證在下方列出)

倘蘇富比所出售之物品其後被發現為「贋品」，根據下文之條款，蘇富比將取消該銷售，並將買家就該物品支付予蘇富比之總金額，以原銷售之貨幣退還予買家。

就此而言，根據蘇富比合理之意見，「贋品」指仿製之拍賣品，欺騙作品出處、原產地、日期、產出年數、年期、文化或來源等各方面，而上述各項之正確描述並無收錄於目錄內容（考慮任何專有詞彙）。拍賣品之任何損毀及／或任何類型之復元品及／或修改品（包括重新塗漆或在其上塗漆），不應視為贋品。

謹請注意，倘發生以下任何一種情況，本保證將不適用：

(i) 目錄內容乃根據學者及專家於拍賣日期獲普遍接納之意見，或該目錄內容顯示該等意見存在衝突;或

(ii) 於拍賣日期，證明該物品乃膺品之唯一方法，是有關工序並非當時普遍可用或認可、價格極高或用途不切實際;或可能已對拍賣品造成損壞或可能(根據蘇富比合理之意見 )已令拍賣品喪失價值之方法;或

(iii) 倘根據拍賣品之描述，該拍賣品並無重大喪失任何價值。

本保證所規定之年期為有關拍賣日期後五(5) 年，純粹提供給買家之獨享利益，且不可轉移至任何第三方。為能依據本保證申索，買家必須：

(i) 在收到任何導致買家質疑物品之真偽或屬性之資料後三(3)個月內以書面通知蘇富比，註明拍賣品編號、購買該拍賣品之拍賣日期及被認為是贋品之理由；及

(ii) 將狀況與銷售予買家當日相同，並能轉移其妥善所有權且自拍賣日期後並無出現任何第三方申索之物品退還予蘇富比。

蘇富比可酌情決定豁免上述任何規定。蘇富比可要求買家索取兩名為蘇富比及買家雙方接納之獨立及行內認可專家之報告，費用由買家承擔。蘇富比毋須受買家出示之任何報告所規限，並保留權利尋求額外之專家意見，費用由蘇富比自行承擔。倘蘇富比決定根據本保證取消銷售，蘇富比或會將最多為兩份經雙方審批之獨立專家報告所需之合理費用退還予買家。

適用於中國現代書畫及中國古代書畫之真品保證附加條款

中國書畫部及中國古代書畫部銷售圖錄內所刊載藝術家之姓名（如有）不應被視為對所命名藝術家的無條件歸屬。本公司不對作者或作品完成日期作出或有意作出無條件歸屬。現今中國書畫學術研究領域並不容許對作者或作品完成日期作出無條件聲明。因此，此圖錄內的所有中國書畫及中國古代書畫並不受限於任何真實性擔保規範，及以「現況」根據業務規則出售。任何蘇富比僱員給予買家之諮詢與建議均不損害上述條文的效用。本公司建議買家在選擇購買時徵詢獨立專業意見。儘管如此，倘蘇富比所出售之物品其後被發現為「贋品」，根據下文之條款，蘇富比將取消該銷售，並將買家就該物品支付予蘇富比之總金額，以原銷售之貨幣退還予買家。

適用於腕錶之真品保證附加條款

所有腕錶皆按所見現況出售，不能以經過修理或零件並非所標示之製造商提供為由退還。

腕錶不能在陳列期間拆開。有此需要的準買家或其代理人應在拍賣前一星期與鐘錶部預約私人參觀時段。狀況報告可經查詢索取，然該等報告僅為觀點陳述，可能未具體列明所有機械零件更換或機芯、錶殼及錶盤的瑕疵。所有尺寸量度皆為約數。

配備防水錶殼的腕錶曾被拆開檢查機芯，但不保證腕錶目前防水。

請注意，我方不保證任何個別零件的真確性，例如齒輪、指針、錶冠、水晶錶蓋、螺絲、鍊帶及皮革錶帶，因為後期修復可能導致原廠零件更換。

請注意，以瀕危或受保護物種（例如短吻鱷及鱷魚）身體部位製成的錶帶不與腕錶一併出售，只作展示用途。我方保留在付運前移除此類錶帶的權利。而且我方不保證錶帶或錶鍊的製造物料。請注意，買家須負責遵守任何適用的進出口事宜，特別是關於瀕危物種及美國魚類及野生動物管理局的法規。

我方不對任何已出售拍品的狀況作出申述或保證。

適用於珠寶之真品保證

倘蘇富比出售任何寶石或珍珠，而買家其後以蘇富比合理信納之方式表示，該等寶石或珍珠並不是真實或原屬天然，則根據下文之條款，蘇富比將取消該銷售，並將買家就該寶石或珍珠支付予蘇富比之總金額，以原銷售之貨幣退還予買家。

本保證所規定之期限為有關拍賣日期後二十一 (21) 日，純粹提供給買家之獨享利益，且不可轉移至任何第三方。為能依據本保證申索，買家必須：

(i) 於該二十一 (21) 日期間內，以書面通知蘇富比不相信該寶石或珍珠為真實或原屬天然之理由，註明拍賣品編號及買該拍賣品之拍賣日期；及

(ii) 將狀況與銷售予買家當日相同，並能轉移其妥善所有權且自拍賣日期後並無出現任何第三方申索之物品退還予蘇富比。

中國工藝品詞彙

以下為本圖錄內所使用的詞彙示例。請注意，所有陳述乃根據業務規則及保證書的條文作出。

(i) 倘蘇富比認為某拍賣品物品屬於某一期間、統治時期或朝代，則該物品的分類會以粗體字直接標示在圖錄條目的標題下方

例如：蘇富比會標示明朝嘉靖年間之青花盤如下：

明嘉靖年間青花盤

(ii) 如該拍賣品的標題下方的描述中沒有以粗體字確認有關工藝品之分類，則表示無法確定該工藝品的所屬年代。

(iii) 倘某批拍賣品之標題有提供分類且該批拍賣品多於一件物品，除非另有指明，否則蘇富比認為該批拍賣品全部屬於以粗體字所標示的時期。

(iv) 倘物品並無分類，則蘇富比對其所屬期間存疑或認為其屬於19 或20 世紀。

(v) 有關亞洲硬木，『黃花梨』、『花梨』、『紅木』、『紫檀』等在標題中以單引號加粗或大寫的術語均為基於外觀而做出的描述性鑑定，並非指某一特定科學物種。
