Introduction: The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers, particularly those inexperienced or new to our salerooms. 
The golden rule is that all parties should have notice of the relevant terms and conditions before or at the time of the making of the contract. Similarly, sellers should preferably be supplied with a printed version of the ‘Terms of consignment’ when consigning property for sale. It is customary to print conditions of sale in catalogues and/or clearly display them in the saleroom or online before the auction sale takes place. Finally, it is of course essential that buyers and sellers are bound by relevant conditions.‘Conditions of sale’ for transactions which actually take place by auction. On using the expression ’Terms of consignment’ for sellers and other consignors whenīefore the auction takes place they consign the relevant property for sale, and Nevertheless, the two transactions between seller and auctioneer and seller and buyerĪre completely distinct contracts and we have therefore placed considerable importance If it were not so, the auctioneer would have no authority, for example, to give to buyers the benefit of any anti-forgery clause. It is, of course, essential that sellers are aware of and consider themselves bound by the relevant conditions of sale.
Many auction houses have hitherto made little attempt to separate these two fundamental documents and essentially use one set of conditions of sale with a short further document for vendors.
The two primary documents are the ‘Terms of consignment for sellers’ and the ‘Conditions of sale’. The authors had in mind general and specialised sales of chattels, including fine art. It is designed to reflect the law and provide what protection is reasonable for the seller, the auctioneer and the buyer in respect of duties and liabilities arising in the numerous transactions which take place throughout England and Wales. The opportunity has been taken to create the most up-to-date ‘Conditions of Business’ taken from the ‘model’ provided by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors by consultation with the Office of Fair Trading. Some of these conditions create a direct contract between buyer and auctioneer. Secondly, buyers, though not primarily contracting with the auctioneer, who is merely an agent for the seller, nevertheless normally contract on standard conditions laid down by the auctioneer as agent. The auctioneer meets possible consumers at two points. Firstly, the seller is a consumer of the auctioneer’s services. These regulations also stipulate that contractual terms shall be expressed ‘in plain, intelligible language’. Furthermore, the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1994 apply to auction sales and lay down an indicative, non-exhaustive, list of standard terms which may be regarded as unfair and therefore not binding on the consumer. As is widely recognised, modern consumer protection law, whether it stems from the UK or the EU, is having a steadily increasing impact on the sale of chattels by auction.
