1. The property described in the lot list will be offered at a live, in-person, public floor auction by Sparks Auctions Inc. (hereinafter “Sparks Auctions”) on behalf of various consignors. By bidding on any lot, the bidder acknowledges and agrees to these Terms and Conditions of Sale.
2. The sale will be conducted in Canadian funds. The auctioneer shall regulate the bidding and reserves the right to reject any bid believed by him not to be made in good faith and to withdraw any lot prior to or during the sale and to act on behalf of the vendor. In the event of any dispute, the auctioneer’s decision shall be final.
3. The bidder with the highest bid acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The term “hammer price” means the last bid acknowledged by the auctioneer. The purchase price payable by the buyer will be the sum of the hammer price plus a commission equal to 17% of the hammer price (“buyer’s premium”), together with any tax which may be applicable.
4. All lots shall be paid for and removed from the premises on the day of the sale. Payment may be made by e-transfer, cheque drawn on a Canadian bank, cash or credit card. A fee of 3.5% will be added to process credit card payments. A fee of $100.00 will be charged for any cheque returned for insufficient funds. Until paid in full, all lots remain the property of Sparks Auctions on behalf of the consignor.
5. All lots are sold as-is and there will be no extensions for expertization and no returns will be accepted for any reason. The opportunity to view the lots constitutes acknowledgement of both contents and quality.
6. Should any dispute arise over these Terms and Conditions, such dispute will be settled according to the laws and regulations of the Province of Ontario, Canada, with options for resolution being negotiation between the parties, followed by mediation, followed by action in the most appropriate legal venue in Ontario.
