18. Dispute Resolution, Remedies and Set Off

18.1 In the event that a dispute arises between the Seller and a Buyer, the Seller will deal directly with the Buyer to find a negotiated settlement. If the Seller and the Buyer are unable to agree a negotiated settlement between themselves then (at the written request of either the Seller or the Buyer) the Auctioneer may, at its discretion, endeavour to negotiate a settlement between both parties. If the item has been described incorrectly or in a manner to mislead, then the Auctioneer will look more favourably on the Buyer. If a resolution cannot be reached within a reasonable time frame, then the Auctioneer will make a decision that will be binding.

In any case, the buyer will have 10 days from receipt of their item in which to raise a dispute regarding the good received. The buyer should notify the vendor and auctioneer at the earliest opportunity, but no more than 10 days after receipt, regarding any perceived issues. Complaints or issues raised after this time frame should be directed to the vendor and the auctioneer cannot accept any liability for issues raised outside of this time frame.

18.2 The buyer is advised to check any and all goods immediately on receipt or at the point of collection and raise any issues at the earliest possible point. By signing for delivery of goods the buyer is accepting that the goods have been received as per the description, and so should ensure they are checked appropriately, or explicitly sign to say, ‘goods received unchecked’. Goods identified as not matching their description should not be removed from site by the buyer if collecting and the issues raised with the vendor on collection or by telephone or email to the auctioneer immediately if a resolution cannot be found.

18.3 In the event that a refund is due from the Seller to a Buyer in relation to any Goods, the Auctioneer will endeavour to make the refund from the proceeds of the Seller’s sales held on his Auction Account. If the said Auction Account contains no or insufficient funds, the Seller must make payment of the full amount or the balance (as the case may be) within 24 hours of the request of such payment by the Auctioneer. [The Auctioneer will look to reclaim a minimum of 50% of the lost commission for the refund of an item from the Seller. Payment must be made within 24 hours of the request of payment to the Seller.]

18.4 The Auctioneer may deduct the Buyer’s Premium and any other remuneration and/or charges payable to it by the Seller and/or the Buyer from any sum received by the Auctioneer from the Buyer of any Goods prior to accounting to the Seller for the balance.

18.5 In the event that the Auctioneer holds any funds in the Seller’s Auction Account to the credit of the Seller at any time, the Seller agrees, and the Auctioneer is authorised to set off against such credit balance any undisputed amount owed to it by the Seller under these Conditions in relation to any Lot or Lots, or under the Auctioneer’s terms and conditions for Buyers in circumstances where the Seller owes money to the Auctioneer as buyer of any other Goods.

19. Disputes in relation to Diamonds, Gemstones and Jewellery

19.1 In relation to disputes involving Diamonds, Gemstones and Jewellery, there is a standard procedure which will be employed in order to reach a resolution.

Items of this nature called into question will be sent to the Independent AnchorCert Gem Lab at the Assay Office in Birmingham to be tested for the characteristics called into question.

On receipt of the report from AnchorCert their findings will be treated as final.

If the item tested is found to be as described in auction, the item will be returned to the buyer who shall be liable for the costs associated with the assessment.

In the event the item is materially different to the description provided in auction then the seller will be liable to refund the buyer for the full amount paid, the auctioneer for 100% of the buyer’s premium, and the costs associated with the assessment.

The item will be returned to the seller on receipt of these funds in full. Responsibility for ensuring that the description is accurate lies entirely with the seller prior to listing.

In all cases the AnchorCert report shall provide the basis for the mediation and the Auctioneers decision is final taking into consideration some tolerance for minor discrepancies. The overarching principle in determining any dispute is that all parties are treated fairly and with respect in the circumstances.
