Purpose and scope 1.1 Purpose These terms and conditions (hereinafter the “Terms”) govern the relationship between Nyborgs Auctions, owned by Current Value AS (hereinafter “Auction House”) and any person or business wishing to submit and sell objects at auction or commission sale through Auction House (hereinafter “Seller” or “Client”). The terms and conditions respect the rights and obligations of both parties and shall contribute to a safe and predictable sales process. 1.2 Scope The conditions apply to all objects submitted to the Auction House for sale at auctions or commission sales. Live auction is a “streamed” club auction with an auctioneer, without buyers physically present in the venue, but with the possibility for buyers to place bids by pre-bid, live bid/online bidding or telephone bidding. Online auctions are an auction that runs over approximately 14 days where buyers bid online by live bid or max bid. The terms and conditions supplement ordinary Norwegian law, including the Commission Act, the Purchase Act and the Consumer Purchase Act, and apply as far as they are appropriate, unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing. 1.3 The role of the auction house The auction house acts as the commissioner and mediates the sale on behalf of the seller. The auction house does not guarantee the sale of objects, but strives to achieve the best possible result within the guidelines stated herein and otherwise agreed with the seller.
Submission of objects 2.1 The Submission Process - Objects can be submitted by personal attendance at the Auction House's premises in Bygdøy allé 111 in Oslo, Kong Oscars gate 68 in Bergen or by submission/transfer upon request. - Auksjonshuset kan også, dersom objektets art og omfang tilsier det, avtale henting eller hjemmebesøk for vurdering. - Når objektet innleveres eller hentes må innleverer eller selger oppgi diverse informasjon om eier/selger og fremvise legitimasjon, avhengig om det er selger eller en annen person som innleverer objektet for eier. Dette er et krav iht. brukthandlerloven og brukthandelforskriften § 16 som krever at Auksjonshuset rapporterer hvem som er selger på alle objekter som omsettes gjennom auksjonene eller kommisjonssalg. - Før endelig aksept av oppdraget, gjennomfører Auksjonshuset en foreløpig undersøkelse og vurdering av objektene. Auksjonshuset forbeholder seg retten til å avvise ethvert objekt uten begrunnelse. 2.2 Requirements for the objects - Each individual object must be given an estimated insurance value, agreed in advance between the seller and the auction house. - Objekter må leveres i ryddig og ren stand, proveniens og kjente feil/mangler må oppgis og dokumentasjon må gjerne leveres. Mangelfulle opplysninger kan føre til erstatningsansvar for selger dersom det medfører tap for auksjonshuset eller kjøper. Innleverer garanterer at Selger er rettmessig eier av objektet og at det ikke finnes noen heftelser på objektet. 2.3 Receipts and agreements - Submission receipt: Issued/sent to the seller by e-mail when the auction house has received the objects physically. - Sale agreement: Once the object has been registered and assessed, the seller is sent an agreement on auction valuation, reserve price, and all other information about the object. The seller is obliged to notify of any errors or notices within a reasonable time and before signing the agreement. It will happen that the submission receipt gies and the sales agreement are signed at the same time. 2.4 Insurance The auction house holds submitted objects insured from the time the items are physically in the auction house's custody and the filing receipt issued, unless otherwise agreed. The insurance of the object is included in the fee. The insurance value is normally based on a valuation, the stipulated auction valuation or any other value the auction house deems appropriate. In case of damage or loss, the seller is reimbursed up to the insurance value, less the agreed commissions and expenses.
Rating, description and minimum price 3.1 Auction rating The auction house assesses and describes the objects in the best judgment and conviction, based on experience, expertise and market expectations. The assessment is indicative and forms the basis of the Auction Assessment. Actual sale price may be both higher and lower than the Auction Rating, but not lower than the agreed reserve price. 3.2 Minimum price - The seller can agree a minimum price with the Auction House for some or all objects. - Minsteprisen bør ikke overstige den laveste delen av vurderingsintervallet (Auksjonsvurderingen). - Dersom salg likevel skjer under minstepris, skal Selger motta oppgjør som om minstepris var oppnådd, forutsatt at Auksjonshuset dekker differansen ved reduksjon i sin provisjon eller på annen måte. 3.3 Change of Auction Valuation - The auction house may, in consultation with the seller, adjust the auction valuation and minimum price if new information appears or market conditions change. - Dersom objekter ikke selges ved første Live auksjon, forbeholder auksjonshuset seg retten til å gjenta salgsforsøk med lik eller lavere Auksjonsvurdering, med mindre selger spesifikt ber om retur (jf. pkt. 9).
Commissions, Fees and Costs
4.1 Salary A percentage commission is charged on the aggregate price. The percentage rate is agreed upon conclusion of the contract and may vary depending on the category, value, scope of the object, etc. By default, if a standard commission is charged, a commission is charged on the bid price of 25% including VAT from the buyer and 20% including VAT from the seller, unless a different rate is specifically agreed for certain objects. The percentage is calculated by the final estimate. If an object is sold for a very low sum or not sold (for certain categories), there may be a minimum commission per object, which is agreed in advance. 4.2 Subsequent compensation (Artist's fee) In the case of resale of art over NOK 2 000, the auction house is obliged under the Danish Works Act to collect a consequential compensation of 5% of the sale sum and the commission. This goes to the artist, and the scheme is managed by BONO (Image Art Copyright in Norway). The remuneration is administered by BONO (Bild- kunst 0pphava rett i Norge). The consideration is a supplement that is normally covered by the buyer, but can by special agreement be redistributed between the buyer and the seller. 4.3 Other Fees The seller will be charged NOK 250 per object in photography fees, if the object is sold at auction. The auction house may also charge other fees for handling, insurance, cleaning or other necessary services, by further agreement. For objects where external expertise is required (e.g. coins, stamps, jewelry), the cost of such a certificate may be charged to the seller, unless otherwise agreed. 4.4 Remittance fee If the Seller withdraws an object after 3 days after the sale agreement has been signed, the Auction House will charge a handling fee of NOK 2000. If the seller withdraws an object after 3 days after the sale agreement has been signed and the Auction House has started work (e.g. photo, cataloging, marketing), the Auction House will invoice a fee equal to up to half of the total buyer and seller fees (calculated by the highest auction assessment), in addition to covering the costs incurred (e.g. transportation, insurance, cleaning, etc.). If the Seller withdraws the object after the object has been published (either online or in a printed catalogue), it is not possible to withdraw the object from the auction. If the Seller absolutely has to withdraw the object after it has been published, the Seller must pay a fee equal to half of the lowest auction valuation. Det er ikke mulig for Selger å trekke et objekt fra auksjonen etter at objektet er publisert (enten på nett eller i trykket katalog).
Conducting an auction 5.1 Selection of auction The auction house is free to decide on which auction the object will be sold at, based on the composition of the objects intended and the number of objects prepared and based on what is believed to produce the best possible sale result for the object. 5.2 Bidding and tenders The item is sold to the bidder who, at the close of the auction, has made the highest valid bid. At Live Auctions, the sale of club fittings is confirmed by an auctioneer. · The auction house has the right to reject bids from stakeholders who do not meet registration requirements or who have previously violated auction conditions. The Auction House reserves the right to reject bids from individuals who do not meet registration requirements or who have previously violated auction terms. 5.3 Unsold objects - If an object does not reach the minimum price or is not sold for any other reason (e.g. absence of bids), the object can be offered at the lowest valuation for 14 days. - After several sales attempts without a sale, the Auction House in consultation with the Seller may decide either to reduce the price or that the object will be picked up by the Seller.
Settlement and disbursement 6.1 Settlement period - Settlement to the Seller normally takes place within 4—6 weeks after the end of the auction, depending on the complaint deadlines and whether the Buyer has paid full settlement. - The auction house is not obliged to pay out any amount to the Seller until the entire purchase price has been paid by the Buyer. 6.2 Delayed payment from the buyer If the Buyer fails to pay, the Auction House may, in its sole discretion, choose to cancel the sale, make a new sale attempt or return the object to the Seller. The auction house does not automatically bring a lawsuit against the buyer, but may in special cases agree with the Seller to pursue the claim. 6.3 Deduction of costs Prior to payment to the Seller, the Auction House may deduct fees, fees, fees, insurance costs and any other outstanding debts the Seller may have to the Auction House.
