162 2.6.4 Ownership in a lot shall not pass to the buyer thereof until Strauss & Co has received settlement of the full purchase price of that lot in cleared funds. Strauss & Co shall not release a lot to the buyer prior to full payment thereof. However, should Strauss & Co agree to release a lot to the buyer prior to payment of the purchase price in full, ownership of such lot shall not pass to the buyer, nor shall the buyer’s obligations to pay the purchase price be impacted, until such receipt by Strauss & Co of the full purchase price in cleared funds. 2.6.5 The refusal of any approval, licence, consent, permit or clearance as required by law shall not affect the buyer’s obligation to pay for the lot. 2.6.6 Any payments made by a buyer to Strauss & Co may be applied by Strauss & Co towards any sums owing by the buyer to Strauss & Co on any account whatsoever and without regard to any directions of the buyer or his agent. The buyer shall be and remain responsible for any removal, storage, or other charges for any lot and must at his own expense ensure that the lot purchased is removed immediately after the auction but not until payment of the total amount due to Strauss & Co. All risk of loss or damage to the purchased lot shall be borne by the buyer from the moment when the buyer’s bid is accepted by Strauss & Co in the manner referred to above. Neither Strauss & Co nor its servants or agents shall accordingly be responsible for any loss or damage of any kind, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, from date of the sale of the lot, whilst the lot is in their possession or control. 2.6.7 All packaging and handling of lots is at the buyer’s risk and expense, will have to be attended to by the buyer, and Strauss & Co shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of any packers or shippers. 2.6.8 If the sale of any lot is rescinded, set aside or cancelled by an action of the buyer, and Strauss & Co has accounted to the seller for the sale proceeds, the seller shall immediately refund the full sale proceeds to Strauss & Co, who will in turn refund the purchase price to the buyer. 2.7 Remedies for non payment or failure to collect Without prejudice to any rights that the seller may have, if any lot is not paid for in full or removed in accordance with the conditions of 2.6 above, or if there is any other breach of these general conditions of business by the buyer, Strauss & Co as agent of the seller shall, at its absolute discretion and without limiting any other rights or remedies that may be available to it or the seller hereunder or at law, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following remedies: 2.7.1 to remove, store and insure the lot at its premises or elsewhere and at the buyer’s sole risk and expense; 2.7.2 to rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer at the same or any other auction; 2.7.3 to set off any amounts owed to the buyer by Strauss & Co against any amounts owed to Strauss & Co by the buyer for the lot; 2.7.4 to reject future bids and offers on any lot from the buyer; 2.7.5 to proceed against the buyer for damages; 2.7.6 to resell the lot or cause it to be resold by public auction or private treaty, with estimates and reserves at Strauss & Co’s sole discretion, in which event the buyer shall be liable for any shortfall between the original purchase price and the amount received on the resale of the lot, including all expenses incurred by Strauss & Co and the seller in such resale; 2.7.7 to exercise a lien over any of the buyer’s property in Strauss & Co’s possession, applying their sale proceeds to any amounts owed by the buyer to Strauss & Co; 2.7.8 to retain that or any other lots sold to the buyer at the same time or at any other auction and to release such lots only after payment of the total amount due; 2.7.9 to disclose the buyer’s details to the seller to enable the seller to commence legal proceedings; 2.7.10 to commence legal proceedings; 2.7.11 to charge interest at a rate not exceeding the prime rate plus 3% per month on the total amount due to the extent that it remains unpaid after the date of the auction; 2.7.12 if the lot is paid for in full but remains uncollected after forty five days of the auction, following fourteen days written notice to the buyer, to resell the lot by auction or private treaty, with estimates and reserves at Strauss & Co’s sole discretion. The sale proceeds of such lot if so resold, less all recoverable expenses, will be forfeited unless collected by the buyer within three months of the original auction. 3 CONDITIONS MAINLY CONCERNING SELLERS 3.1 Strauss & Co’s powers 3.1.1 The seller irrevocably instructs Strauss & Co to offer for sale at an auction all objects submitted for sale by the seller and received and accepted by Strauss & Co and to sell the same to the relevant buyer of the lot of which those objects form part, provided that the bid or offer accepted from that buyer is equal to or higher than the reserve (if any) on that lot (subject always to 3.1.3), all on the basis set out in these general conditions of business.
