3. The Auctioneers reserve the right to catalogue goods as they see fit, determine in which sale these shall be included, (i.e., General or Specialist) and refuse any lots considered to be unsaleable or of negligible value. They shall not be held responsible for any expenses or loss incurred thereby or for the postponement or cancellation of sales, howsoever caused.

Furthermore, the Auctioneers give notice that they are not liable for faults or imperfections found with any lot, for any errors or omissions in description made by the Vendors themselves or their agents, but draw attention to the Misrepresentation Act which reduces the protection given by the customary “Caveat Emptor” clause in Conditions of Sale which in some circumstances make a Vendor liable to the Purchaser in respect of disputed catalogue descriptions, even when made in good faith.
