Conditions générales de vente (EN)Conditions générales de vente (EN)The relationship between ARTEAL and third parties is governed by these general terms and conditions. Participation in auctions implies unconditional acceptance of these terms.

art. 1 The sale is strictly for cash, in Swiss francs, and without warranty. Potential buyers must identify themselves to ARTEAL before the auction and will receive a bidder number. ARTEAL may request proof of identity and banking references. Bidders agree to personally pay the auction price, buyer's fees, and any applicable taxes immediately. All participants are assumed to be bidding on their own behalf unless they disclose they are acting as an agent for a third party, subject to ARTEAL's acceptance. Invoices are payable at the end of each auction session.

art. 2 The lot is awarded to the highest bidder, but in case of dispute, ARTEAL may designate the successful bidder, continue the sale, or cancel and relist the item. The auctioneer may advance bids, split, combine, or withdraw any lot at their discretion.

art. 3 If a reserve price is set, ARTEAL may bid on behalf of the seller until the reserve is reached. If the reserve is not met, the lot will be passed to the next by a simple hammer strike. The seller cannot bid on their own lots directly or through an agent.

art. 4 Bids must be made verbally or by a clear gesture. The auctioneer may refuse bids from unknown buyers.

art. 5 The buyer must pay the hammer price plus a premium of 20.35% and VAT at 8.1%, totaling 22%.
