TAJAN is an auction house specialised in moveable property governed by French Act n° 2000¬642 of July 10th 2000 and n° 2011850 of July 20th 2011. Tajan acts as the seller's agent. The auctioneer is not a party to the sale agreement, which is solely binding on the seller and the successful bidder.
As an operator of voluntary auction sales, Tajan is subject to ethical obligations that are regulatory according to the decree of February 21st 2012.

GENERAL TERMS
These general terms and conditions of sale, the sale and all maters relating thereto are governed by French law; the sellers, buyers and their agents accept that the courts of Paris (France) alone shall have jurisdiction over any legal action. These general terms and conditions are independent. Purchases must be made in cash and prices are stated in euros (€).
Tajan may, at its option, withdraw or delay the sale partially or entirely.

WARRANTIES
The seller warrants to Tajan and to the buyer that he/she is the undisputed owner of the items offered for sale or that he/she has been authorised by the undisputed owner, that the said items are not encumbered by any claim, dispute, attachment, reservation or pledge and that he/she can legally transfer ownership of these items.
The information included in the catalogue is prepared by Tajan with the assistance of the Expert, if necessary, with the care required for public auctions, subject to the notices, declarations and amendments announced upon presentation of the item and noted in the record of sale. This information, including the dimensions set out in the catalogue, is provided to help the potential buyer inspect items and must be assessed personally by him/her. If no information on restoration, an accident, retouching or any other incident is provided in the catalogue, the condition reports or labels or during a verbal announcement, this does not mean that the item is void of defects. Frames condition is not guaranteed. Inasmuch as buyers are given the opportunity to examine works displayed prior to the sale, no claim may be made after the sale is complete. Buyers may obtain a condition report on items included in the catalogue that are estimated at more than € 1 000 upon request. The information contained in such reports is provided free of charge and solely to serve as an indication. It shall by no means incur the liability of Tajan.

If the reserve price is not met, the item will not be sold. The reserve price may not exceed the lowest estimate set out in the catalogue or announced publicly by the accredited auctioneer and noted in the auction house's files. If no reserve price is set, Tajan shall not incur any liability vis-à-vis the seller if the item concerned is sold at a price lower than the lowest estimate published in the sale catalogue.

BIDS
To bid in person, you will need to register for and collect a numbered paddle before the auction begins. We encourage new clients to register at least 48 hours in advance. You will be asked for a proof of identity (bring a driving licence, a national identity card or a passport), for your address, telephone number and signature in order to create your account if you are a first time bidder. In addition, you may be asked to provide bank references and/or a deposit. We may, at our option, decline to permit you to register as a bidder. All individuals who register with Tajan shall have the right to access and rectify the personal data they provide to Tajan in accordance with the French Data Protection Act of 6 January 1978, as amended by the Act of 6 August 2004. Information collected on the registration form is required to participate in an auction and process the auction sale. You may exercise your right to access, rectify or oppose subsequent processing of your personal data, by submitting a written request to TAJAN along with a copy of your photo id.
Auctions will be carried out following the order of the lot numbers as they appear in the catalogue. Tajan is free to set the increment of each bid and all bidders must adhere to this process. The highest and last bidder will be the successful bidder. In the event of a dispute during the bidding process, that is, if two or more bidders simultaneously place the same bid, either orally or by a signal, and each claim the item concerned when the auctioneer's hammer strikes, the auctioneer may, at his/her sole option, re-auction the item immediately at the price offered by the bidders and all those present may take part in this second auction. Any individual who makes a bid during the sale shall be deemed to be doing so in his/her own name ; he/she shall assume full responsibility for his/her bid, unless he/she registered him/herself as an agent with Tajan and stipulated that the bid was being made for a designated third party. In the event where the seller has set a reserve price, Tajan reserves the right to bid on the seller's behalf until the reserve is reached.

ABSENTEE BID FORMS AND TELEPHONE BIDS
If you cannot attend the auction, we will be pleased to execute written telephone bids or written absentee bids on your behalf. A bidding form can be found at the end of the catalogue. This form must be sent to Tajan no later than two working days before the sale, together with bank references and a copy of the bidder's proof of identity. For significant purchases, you may be asked to provide financial references, guarantees and/or a deposit. If several absentee bid forms are submitted for the same lot, the first order received will have priority. Telephone bidding can only be arranged for lots with sale estimates over € 400. As there are only a limited number of telephone lines, the necessary arrangements must be made at least two working days before the auction. In both cases, this service is graciously provided free of charge to the client.

If the seller does not make such a request within three months of the auction, the sale shall be automatically cancelled, without prejudice to the damages owed by the defaulting bidder. TAJAN reserves the right to claim the following from the defaulting buyer : ¬
- interest at the legal rate increased by five points, ¬
- the reimbursement of the additional costs incurred by reason of his/her default, ¬
- payment of the difference between the initial hammer price and the resale price if the later is lower, as well as the costs incurred by the re-auction. ¬

Local laws may prevent you from importing lots made of or including protected material such as ivory, rhinoceros horn, tortoiseshell, Brazilian rosewood, etc. The denial of any export or import authorisation cannot justify any delay in making payment of the amount due nor cancellation of the sale.
