André BRETON. - Lot 189

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.
