Conditions générales :
La vente se fera expressément au comptant.
Aucune réclamation ne sera recevable dès l’adjudication prononcée, les expositions successives permettant aux acquéreurs de constater l’état des objets
présentés.
L’adjudicataire sera le plus offrant et dernier enchérisseur et aura pour obligation de remettre ses nom et adresse. En cas de contestation au moment des
adjudications, c’est-à-dire s’il est établi que deux ou plusieurs enchérisseurs ont simultanément porté une enchère équivalente, soit à haute voix, soit par signe,
et réclament en même temps cet objet après le prononcé du mot « adjugé », ledit objet sera immédiatement remis en adjudication au prix proposé par les
enchérisseurs et tout le public sera admis à enchérir à nouveau.
Les éventuelles modifications aux conditions de vente ou aux descriptions du catalogue seront annoncées verbalement pendant la vente et notées sur le procèsverbal.

Ordres d’achat :
Un enchérisseur ne pouvant assister à la vente devra remplir le formulaire d’ordre d’achat inclus dans ce catalogue et le signer.
ADER agira pour le compte de l’enchérisseur, selon les instructions contenues dans le formulaire d’ordre d’achat, ceci afin d’essayer d’acheter le ou les lots au
prix le plus bas possible et ne dépassant, en aucun cas, le montant maximum indiqué par l’enchérisseur.
Ledit formulaire devra être adressé et reçu à l’étude au plus tard 24 heures avant le début de la vente.
Les ordres d’achat ou les enchères par téléphone sont une facilité pour les clients. ADER n’est pas responsable pour avoir manqué d’exécuter un ordre par erreur
ou pour toute autre cause. Merci de vérifier après envoi que votre ordre d’achat a été dûment enregistré.
La maison de ventes se réserve le droit de ne pas enregistrer l’ordre d’achat s’il n’est pas complet ou si elle considère que le client n’apporte pas toutes les
garanties pour la sécurité des transactions ; et ce, sans recours possible.
Pour garantir la bonne volonté de l’acheteur, une consignation pourra être demandée avant la vente qui ne sera validée qu’en cas d’adjudication.
Drouot Live et Interenchères étant des services indépendants, nous déclinons toute responsabilité en cas de dysfonctionnement. Le coût supplémentaire lié aux
achats sur internet est détaillé sur chacun des sites et dans nos conditions de vente.
Transport des lots / Exportation :
Dès l’adjudication prononcée, les achats sont sous l’entière responsabilité de l’adjudicataire.
Aucun lot ne sera remis aux acquéreurs avant acquittement de l’intégralité des sommes dues.
Les achats de petit volume seront transportés chez ADER, 3 rue Favart 75002 Paris, où ils seront gardés en dépôt à titre gracieux pendant 14 jours.
L’étude est ouverte du lundi au vendredi, de 9 h à 18 h.
Les achats bénéficient d’une gratuité d’entreposage jusqu’à quatorze jours après la vente. Toute semaine entamée est due.
Les acheteurs concernés par une exportation pourront récupérer la TVA sur les honoraires d’achat à la condition qu’un justificatif de douane en bonne et due
forme soit remis à ADER et que le nom de la maison de ventes y soit mentionné en tant qu’exportateur. Le bordereau d’adjudication est dû intégralement ; la
TVA est remboursable par la suite sur présentation des références du compte bancaire.
L’envoi des lots achetés peut être organisé par ADER à la charge et sous la responsabilité de l’acheteur.
Ceci est un service rendu par ADER qui se réserve la possibilité d’y renoncer si les conditions légales ou pratiques présentent le moindre risque. Les délais ne
sont pas garantis et sont tributaires de l’activité de la maison de ventes.
Le coût de l’emballage et de l’expédition est à la charge de l’acheteur ; le règlement à l’ordre d’ADER.
Les acheteurs sont invités à organiser eux-mêmes le transport de leurs achats si ces conditions ne leur conviennent pas.
L’étude ADER ne fait pas les envois de bijoux, les acheteurs sont invités à organiser eux-mêmes le transport de leurs achats.
Défaut de paiement :
À défaut de paiement par l’adjudicataire de la totalité des sommes dues, dans le mois qui suit la vente, et après une seule mise en demeure restée infructueuse,
ADER entamera une procédure de recouvrement. L’acheteur sera susceptible d’inscription au Fichier des restrictions d’accès aux ventes aux enchères (Fichier
TEMIS – www.temis.auction) mis en œuvre par la société Commissaires-Priseurs Multimédia (CPM – 37, rue de Châteaudun, 75009 Paris) et l’ensemble des
dépends restera à sa charge. À compter d’un mois après la vente et à la demande du vendeur, la vente pourra être annulée sans recours possible.
