Conditions of Business for Buyers (English)

Registration Disclaimer:

Payment must be received from a bank account or payment card held in the same name as the Sotheby’s bidder account. Please select the bid account that will be used to remit payment for any property you successfully bid on. Sotheby’s reserves the right to decline to rebill purchases to an alternative account after a sale is completed.

United States Clients:

If you are a reseller using a resale certificate to purchase property that is intended for resale, you must register the account associated with the name that appears in the purchaser field of the resale certificate.

EU Import Regulation:

As of 28 June 2025, lots in this auction that are of non-EU origin, of a certain age and, in some categories, above a certain value may be subject to additional requirements for import into the European Union. Bidders are advised to make their own enquiries and to obtain independent advice to determine whether these additional requirements apply to a given lot before bidding. It is the Buyer's responsibility to apply for any required export or import license or permit, and/or to submit an importer statement, where required. A Buyer’s inability or delay in obtaining an export or import license or permit, and/or in submitting an importer statement, where required, will not be a legitimate basis for sale cancellation or a delay in payment.

自2025年6月28日起，本場拍賣中來源非歐盟、具一定年代，且於部分類別中超過特定價值之拍品，於進口至歐盟時可能須符合額外之要求。建議競標者自行查詢並取得獨立專業意見，以確認在出價前相關額外要求是否適用於特定拍品。買方有責任申請所有必要之出口或進口許可證或執照，及／或於需要時提交進口聲明。倘若買方無法或延誤取得相關之出口或進口許可證或執照，及／或於需要時提交進口聲明，均不得作為取消交易或延遲付款之正當理由。
