   Bidding access and, separately, the telephone bidding facility, shall be given at Saffronart`s discretion and Saffronart may set limits on the number of Bids that may be made by a Bidder and/or require payment guarantees or deposits as a condition precedent to giving bidding access to a Bidder. Bidders will be informed of the limits on the number of Bids they may make, if any, and will not be allowed to bid further if their bidding limit has been exhausted. Bid updates and time extensions, if any, shall be updated on the Website and Mobile Application. On the Website, Bidders may refresh their bidding pages by clicking on the "click to refresh immediately" link or the re-load/refresh buttons on their browsers, to view latest bid updates and time extensions, if any.

However, in the event that a Bid is recorded by Saffronart in the 2 minutes prior to the Closing Time of the Lot. The Closing Time for such Lot shall be extended to a time that is 2 minutes after the time that the last Bid was made. In the event of extension of Closing Time in accordance with this Clause, bidding on the Lot shall only end if no Bid is recorded by Saffronart for a continuous period of 3 minutes. Bidders are advised to click on the "click to refresh immediately" link on the Website page being viewed by them or on the "Refresh" menu item in the Mobile Application at regular intervals in accordance with the provisions of Clause 2.5 for updates on latest Bids and time extensions if any.

6. 2.5 Tracking Bids

   1. The Website shall also contain a link titled "My Bids " within the page "My Auction" and the Bidder may click on this link to access information on all Bids made by the Bidder in respect of various Lots. For ease of tracking Bids, Bidders are advised to assign bidding nicknames to themselves.

   2. The Website and Mobile Application shall contain:
      
      

      1. the Bid history for each Lot, being the Bid amounts that have been recorded since the start of the Auction till the current highest Bid; and

      2. a countdown clock indicating the amount of time available for placing Bids before the Closing Time.

   3. The Bid history, current Bid and countdown clock shall be accurate at the time of downloading of those values, provided however that such information shall not reflect any changes in the Bid history, current Bid and/or countdown clock that may have occurred during the time taken for this information to reach the Bidder`s computer or mobile device from the Saffronart Server. The most updated Bid values shall be shown only when the page on the Website containing the information on Bid values is refreshed, which shall happen either automatically at regular intervals on the Website (indicated at the top of the page), or when a Bidder clicks on the "click to refresh immediately" link on the Website page, or on the "refresh" or "reload" button on his/her internet browser, or on the "Refresh" menu item in the Mobile Application.

   4. When the countdown clock counts down to zero, in the case where the Closing Time in respect of a particular Lot has been extended by a further three minutes pursuant to Clause 2.4 above, the countdown clock may not reflect such extension. The Bidder may wait for the values on the page to refresh automatically on the Website, or click on the "click to refresh immediately" link on the page, or on the "refresh" or "reload" button on his/her internet browser, or on the "Refresh" menu item in the Mobile Application after the countdown clock has counted down to zero to determine whether the Closing Time has been extended for that lot.

Therefore, although a Bidder may have placed his/her Bid prior to Closing Time, the Bid may be received by Saffronart after the Closing Time for the Lot in respect of which the Bid has been placed and shall, in such an event, be rejected. In order to prevent Bids being rejected in such a manner, Bidders may set proxy Bids/automatic Bids on Lots which the Bidder wishes to Bid for.

3.2. Any statements made by Saffronart about any Property, whether orally or in writing concerning attribution to, for example, any school of art or craftsmanship, country or origin, history or provenance, are only expressions of our opinion or belief. Such opinions or beliefs have been formed honestly in accordance with the standard of care expected of an auction house, having due regard to the estimate value of the Property. However, Saffronart does not in anyway represent that it has carried out exhaustive research or analysis, and it is therefore recommended, especially in cases of Properties of high value, that potential Buyers seek advice on such matters from their own professional advisors.

3.3. The Buyer undertakes to:

1. to inspect and satisfy himself prior to the Auction as to the condition and description of the Property;

2. to rely on his own judgment as to whether the Property matches its description; and

3. to not rely on an illustration of any Property given in the Catalogue

3.4. Neither Saffronart nor any of its affiliates, agents, representatives, employees or directors shall be liable for errors or omissions in any of the representations made in the Auction Catalogue or otherwise with respect to authenticity, description, or condition of any Property for sale through the Auction.

4. Authenticity Guarantee

4.1. Guarantee of Properties (other than Precious Objects): With respect to artworks (not including Precious Objects) Saffronart guarantees the authenticity of the Property for a period of one year, and will provide a Saffronart authenticity certificate in relation to this guarantee (please note Saffronart does not provide authenticity certificates from artists). Authenticity in relation to artworks shall mean compliance of the artwork with Description provided in the Auction Catalogue, particularly with reference to the name of the Artist, title (if any) of the artwork itself, date, the school of art (if mentioned), dimensions, medium, etc.

In the unlikely event that within one year from the sale of the Property through Auction, it is proved by the Buyer, to the reasonable satisfaction of Saffron that the Property was not authentic and if, in Saffronart`s opinion, Bidders being aware of such error or omission would have bid significantly less than the actual Sale Price Saffronart shall be entitled to rescind the sale and the Seller will be liable to refund to the Buyer the Sale Price paid for the Property. The Buyer shall return the Property to Saffronart and Saffronart shall hand over the Property to the Seller upon refund of the Sale Price paid to him for the Property. Once Saffron obtains the refunded amount from the Seller, it shall forward the same along with the amount charged by Saffron as the Buyer`s Premium to the Buyer.

All such claims will be handled on a case-by-case basis, and in the case of an authenticity claim will require that examinable proof, which clearly demonstrates that the Property is not authentic, is provided by an established and acknowledged authority. The decision of Saffronart in respect of such claims shall be final and binding. The authenticity guarantee under this clause 4.1 does not apply to jewellery, watches or precious stones.

4.2. The above guarantee given in clause 4.1 shall be subject to the following conditions:

1. The claim is made by the Buyer as registered with Saffronart (the benefit of the claim is not assignable to any subsequent owners or others who may acquire or have an interest in any of the Properties)

2. The Property is returned in the same condition that it was in at the time of delivery of the Property to the Buyer.

3. The Property was indisputably purchased through the Auction.

4.3. Guarantee in relation to Precious Objects: In the case of Properties which have been categorised by Saffronart as Precious Objects, Saffronart guarantees that the Property shall comply with characteristics or features mentioned in all capital letters in the heading of the Description of the Property in the Auction Catalogue (with the exception however that in the case of the MobileApp Auction Catalogue, the characteristics or features mentioned in all capital letters may be displayed in a position other than the heading) till such time that the Property is in the possession of Saffronart. All colored stones unless certified may or may not be treated for enhancements. It is therefore advisable for Buyers or potential Buyers of such Properties, to inspect the Property prior to bidding or prior to shipment or Buyer pickup from Saffronart.

In the unlikely event that during such inspection, the Buyer is able to prove to the reasonable satisfaction of Saffronart that the Property does not match the details give in the (capitalised) heading to the Description, and if, in Saffronart`s opinion, Bidders being aware of such error or omission would have bid significantly less than the actual Sale Price Saffronart shall be entitled to rescind the sale and the Seller will be liable to refund to the Buyer the Sale Price paid for the Property. The Buyer shall return the Property to Saffronart and Saffronart shall hand over the Property to the Seller upon refund of the Sale Price paid to him for the Property. Once Saffronart obtains the refunded amount from the Seller, it shall forward the same along with the amount charged by Saffronart as the Buyer`s Premium to the Buyer. This guarantee will not be applicable where the Property is being shipped to the Buyer by Saffronart.

4.4. In all cases Saffronart retains the right to consult with, at the expense of the Buyer, two recognized experts in the field, (such experts being mutually acceptable to Saffronart and the Buyer), to examine the Property under question before deciding to rescind the sale and offer the refund under the above guarantee. The opinion of the experts shall not be binding on Saffronart.

4.5. In the event of the Seller`s failure to refund the proceeds as stated in this clause, the Buyer shall return the Property to Saffronart and authorise Saffronart as its agent to initiate legal proceedings against the Seller. Any such steps taken or legal proceedings instituted by Saffronart against the Seller shall be to the cost of the Buyer.

5. Extent of Saffronart`s Liability

5.1. Saffronart has an obligation to refund the Sale Price and Buyers` Premium to the Buyer only in the circumstances described in Clause 4 above (Authenticity Guarantee). Damages, losses or loss in value if any to the artwork (excluding frames) incurred during shipping and transit are covered as per the insurance policy taken by Saffronart. In case the Buyer opts out of insurance coverage arranged for by Saffronart, Saffronart shall not entertain any claims for damage or loss during shipping and transit. Subject to the authenticity guarantee above, neither Saffronart`s suppliers nor Saffronart, nor any of Saffronart`s employees or agents, shall be responsible, either for the correctness of any statements as to the authorship, origin, date, age, attributes or genuineness of any Property in the sale, or for any mistakes in the Description, or for any faults or defects in the Properties, or for any other act or omission, whatsoever. Saffronart offers no guarantee or warranty other than the limited assurance contained in the authenticity guarantee above.

5.2. It is stated and agreed that the rescission of the sale and the refund of the total Sale Price paid by the Buyer is the sole remedy that may be sought by a Buyer, and such remedy is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which may otherwise be available under law. Saffronart shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages incurred or claimed.
