TABLEAUX, MOBILIER & OBJETS D'ART

Pierre Bergé & associés (PBA) is a voluntary sales auction house governed by the French law

n° 2000-642 of July 10, 2000.

PBA acts as the seller's agent. The auctioneer is not a party to the sale contract which

exclusively binds the seller to the successful bidder.

GENERAL FACTS

The present general terms and conditions, the sale and everything related to it are governed by

French law; the sellers, the buyers and their representatives accept that any legal action

is under the sole jurisdiction of the Parisian courts (France).

Each of these general conditions are independent of each other.

Payment is due at the moment of the sale and prices are expressed in euros.

WARRANTIES

The seller guarantees to PBA and the buyer that they are the undisputed owner, or are duly

authorized by the undisputed owner, of the property offered for sale, that this property

is not subject to any claim, dispute, attachment, reservation or pledge and that they can

rightfully transfer the ownership of the said property.

The information contained in the catalogue is established by PBA, assisted by PBA's chosen

expert, with all due criteria requested from any public auction house, and can be subject

to notifications, declarations and rectifications, which will be announced at the time of the

sale and recorded in the minutes of the sale. This information, including the indications of

dimensions in the catalogue are provided to facilitate the appraisal of the potential buyer and

are subject to their own personal judgement.

The absence of any indication of restoration, accidents, condition reports or labels in the

catalogue, or verbal announcements at the moment of the sale, does not imply that an item

is free of defects.

The condition of frames is not guaranteed.

Gemstones and pearls in general may have undergone general improvement modifications

(oiling for emeralds, heat treatment for sapphires or rubies, bleaching for pearls etc…). These

improvements are considered traditional and are accepted by the international gemstone and

pearl trade market.

No guarantee is made on the working condition of the watches. Some watchmakers may not

anymore possess original parts for the restoration of old watches and therefore no guarantee

is given to the buyer on possible later restorations, by watchmakers, for watches sold in their

actual condition.

For items with a lower estimate of more than 1,000 euros, a condition report on the state of

conservation of the lots can be provided upon request. The information is provided free of

charge and subject to anyone’s own interpretation.

PBA cannot be held responsible in any way whatsoever for this information.

In the event of any dispute, in particular concerning the authenticity or origin of the items sold,

PBA is bound by an obligation of means; PBA's possible liability may only be incurred on the

express condition that a personal and proven fault is demonstrated against the auction house.

ARTIST'S RESALE RIGHT

Pierre Bergé & associés is legally obliged to collect the sums due under the resale right for

the sale of the lots and to return them to the collecting agency or the beneficiary of the right.

The buyer shall be responsible for the payment of the resale charge and shall be invoiced at the

same time as the tender price and the costs referred to in the first paragraph.

In the event that PBA becomes aware that a sale is subject to the resale duty only after the lot

has been tendered, that duty will be invoiced to the buyer separately.

The selling price used as the basis for collecting the resale duty shall be calculated, excluding

taxes, on the hammer price. It is calculated work by work. The applicable rate is :

- 4% for the price range up to 50,000 euros

- 3% for the price range between EUR 50,000.01 and EUR 200,000

BIDDINGS

The sale will follow the lot numbers according to the catalogue. PBA has discretion to set the

increment of the bids and all bidders must comply with this. The highest and final bidder will

be the buyer. In case of a double bidding declared by the auctioneer, the lot will be immediately

reoffered for sale and all present prospective buyers will be able to bid a second time. At the

striking of the hammer, risk and responsibility for the lot passes to the buyer. He is therefore

responsible for insuring his lots as soon as the auction is final.

ABSENTEE AND TELEPHONE BIDS

telephone bid are required to submit bids on the Absentee Bid Form of which a copy is printed

in the last pages of the catalogue. This form must be received at least two days in advance of

the sale, with the bidder’s bank details. Pierre Bergé & associés provides telephone bids as

a convenience to bidders who cannot attend the auction in person and therefore will not be

held responsible if a phone connection problem occurs , under no circumstances Pierre Bergé

& associés employees will be held responsible if an error shall occur in the execution of the

telephone bids.
