This return policy is at the discretion of the auctioneer and they reserve the right to refuse a refund with the exception of 'deliberate forgeries'. Buyers are responsible for the costs of returning the lot(s) and will only receive a refund if the lot(s) are in the state they were when they left the premises. Lots that have been taken to a third party for intensive inspection will be refused for a refund with the exception of 'deliberate forgeries'.
(2) In specified circumstances lots mis-described because they are 'deliberate forgeries' may be returned and repayment made. There is a 14-day time limit from the date of the sale, not date of collection or receipt. In this instance we must be notified in writing with all evidence of the 'deliberate forgeries'.
