GUIDE TO BUYING IN AN ONLINE ONLY AUCTION

The following guidance is intended to give you useful information on how to buy in an Online Only Auction. We recommend that you read the guidance below carefully in order to familiarize yourself with the way that the Online Only Platform works before you start to participate in an Online Only Auction. It is also important that you read the Conditions of Business for Buyers (Online Only) which are set out below and note that Sotheby’s acts for the seller. Terms defined in this Guide shall have the same meaning as in the Conditions of Business for Buyers (Online Only) unless the context otherwise requires.

1.REGISTER A VERIFIED ACCOUNT WITH SOTHEBY'S

In order to be eligible to participate in an Online Only Auction, you must have registered, and maintain, a Verified Account. The registration process requires you to enter your debit card or credit card information, your address and to confirm that you have read and accept our Conditions of Business for Buyers (Online Only), the Authenticity Guarantee and this Guide to Buying in an Online Only Auction. In order to bid in an Online Only Auction, you must be registered as a Verified Accountholder prior to the closing of the first Lot in the relevant Online Only Auction in which you wish to bid (you will also be required to provide certain information to Sotheby’s as part of the application process). Further details about how to become a Verified Accountholder are set out in Condition 5 of the Conditions of Business for Buyers (Online Only).

Once you have completed the registration process to become a Verified Accountholder, you can sign into the applicable Online Only Auction using your own username and password. To log in to your Verified Account, please follow the login instructions provided at:

2.BROWSE THE LOTS FOR SALE IN THE ONLINE ONLY AUCTION

Once the relevant Online Only Auction has opened, the Online Sale Information regarding each Lot for sale in the Online Only Auction is available for you to review.

Pre-sale estimates

As indicated in the Conditions of Business for Buyers (Online Only), the Online Sale Information for each Lot includes pre-sale estimates which are provided by Sotheby's as a guide for prospective Bidders to assist them with determining the appropriate amount to bid for a Lot. In our opinion, any bid for an amount which is between the high pre-sale estimate and the low pre-sale estimate stated in the Online Sale Information for the Lot would offer a chance of success. Having said that, it is important you appreciate that Lots can realise prices which are above or below the pre-sale estimates. It is advisable to check the pre-sale estimates prior to submission of a bid. Please note that the pre-sale estimates which are stated in the Online Sale Information do not include buyer's premium, overhead premium, any applicable taxes or tariffs.

Condition of Lots

The Online Sale Information includes the online catalogue description of the Lot; any online condition report provided in relation to the Lot by Sotheby's solely as a convenience (and the online images of the Lot shall be deemed to form part of any such condition report); any other information relating to the Lot or the conduct of the Online Only Auction which is published on the Online Only Platform (including this Guide to Buying in an Online Only Auction).

All Lots are offered for sale in the condition which they are in at the time of sale in an Online Only Auction. Any reference to condition in the Online Sale Information will not amount to a full description of the condition and the absence of any reference to the condition of a Lot in the online catalogue description does not imply that the Lot is free from faults or imperfections. It is important that you appreciate that you will not have an opportunity to inspect the condition of a Lot prior to submitting a bid in respect of such Lot. Please refer to Condition 3 of the Conditions of Business for Buyers (Online Only) for further information regarding the basis upon which your bid for a Lot is submitted.

Provenance

In certain circumstances, Sotheby's may publish in the online catalogue description for a Lot the history of ownership of a work of art if such information contributes to scholarship or is otherwise well known and assists in distinguishing the work of art. However, the identity of the seller or previous owners may not be disclosed for a variety of reasons. For example, such information may be excluded to accommodate a seller's request for confidentiality or because the identity of prior owners is unknown given the age of the work of art.

Bidding by interested parties

In situations where a person who is allowed to bid on a Lot has a direct or indirect interest in such Lot, such as the beneficiary or executor of an estate selling the Lot, a joint owner of the Lot, or a party providing or participating in a guarantee of the Lot, Sotheby’s will notify you by email and publish a notification in the Online Sale Information that interested parties may bid on the Lot. In certain instances, interested parties may have knowledge of the reserves.

Employee bidding

Sotheby’s employees may bid only if the employee does not know the reserve and fully complies with Sotheby’s internal rules governing employee bidding.

3.SUBMISSION OF A BID FOR A LOT IN AN ONLINE ONLY AUCTION

An Online Only Auction can be fast moving. Competitive bidding can often escalate very quickly. Once you have set up a Verified Account, you will be able to submit a bid for a Lot by entering your maximum bid and clicking the ‘Place Bid’ button which appears at Lot page on the Online Only Platform. If you haven’t already registered as a Verified Accountholder, you will be prompted to do so at that point. You will then be asked to review and confirm your maximum bid by pressing ‘Continue to Confirm Bid’ and in doing so your bid is submitted. You accept and agree that a bid is submitted using the ‘Continue to Confirm Bid’ button and increased bids are submitted as set out in section 4 below.

Bids can be submitted through the Online Only Platform from the start of the Online Only Auction until the Lot closes.

You may bid at or above the starting bid displayed on the Online Only Platform. You may also input a maximum bid which, upon confirmation, will be executed automatically up to this predefined maximum value in response to other bids, including bids placed by Sotheby’s on behalf of the Seller, up to the amount of the Reserve (if applicable). Bids placed by Sotheby’s on behalf of the Seller, up to the amount of the Reserve, will be counted toward the total bid count displayed on the Online Only Platform. The current leading bid will be visible to all Bidders; the value and status of your maximum bid will be visible only to you, unless it is the leading bid. If the status of your bid changes, you will receive notifications via email and push (if you have the Sotheby’s App installed).

Enter your maximum bid (being the highest price you are willing to pay on the Lot). The Online Only Platform will then place incremental bids on your behalf up to your maximum bid for as long as you are the highest bidder. Sotheby’s uses pre-determined bidding increments. Please refer to the bidding increments link which appears at the page for bidding on the Lot. In cases where two equivalent maximum bids are submitted, the first bid received will take priority.

4.MONITORING AND INCREASING YOUR BIDS If you are outbid at any time you will receive an email notification informing you accordingly and providing a link to follow to increase your bid. We encourage you to monitor the bids on Lots throughout the duration of the Online Only Auction to ensure your status as the highest bidder up until the close of the Online Only Auction. Your updated bid is submitted by pressing ‘Continue to Confirm Bid’.

If you are using the Sotheby’s mobile application then the ‘Quick Bid’ option can also be used to submit a bid by either (i) swiping the ‘Quick Bid’ button all the way to the right of the screen; or (ii) pressing the ‘Quick Bid’ Button and then pressing the ‘Place Bid’ Button.

5.EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS

Symbol Key The following key explains the symbols you may see inside this catalogue.

✧ Premium Lots

In order to bid on “Premium Lots”, Sotheby’s may request from prospective bidders to deliver to Sotheby’s a deposit of HK$1,000,000 or such other higher amount as may be determined by Sotheby’s, and any financial references, guarantees and/or such other security as Sotheby’s may require in its absolute discretion as security for the bid.

○ Guaranteed Property

The seller of lots with this symbol has been guaranteed a minimum price from one auction or a series of auctions. This guarantee may be provided by Sotheby’s, by a third party or jointly by Sotheby’s and a third party. Third parties providing all or part of a guarantee benefit financially if a guaranteed lot is sold successfully and may incur a loss if the sale is not successful. A third party providing a guarantee jointly with Sotheby’s may provide an irrevocable bid, or otherwise bid, on the guaranteed property. If the guarantee is only provided after the Online Only Auction is open, an email will be sent to those who have placed a bid on that lot at the time the guarantee is provided. If every lot in a catalogue is guaranteed, the Important Notices in the sale catalogue will so state and this symbol will not be used for each lot.

△ Property in which Sotheby’s has an Ownership Interest

Lots with this symbol indicate that Sotheby’s owns the lot in whole or in part or has an economic interest in the lot equivalent to an ownership interest.

⋑ Irrevocable Bids

Lots with this symbol indicate that a party has provided Sotheby’s with an irrevocable bid on the lot that will be executed during the sale at a value that ensures that the lot will sell. The irrevocable bidder, who may bid in excess of the irrevocable bid, will be compensated based on the final hammer price in the event he or she is not the successful bidder. If the irrevocable bidder is the successful bidder, he or she will be required to pay the full Buyer’s Premium and Overhead Premium and will not be otherwise compensated. From time to time, Sotheby’s may enter into irrevocable bid agreements that cover multiple lots. In such instances, the compensation Sotheby’s will pay the irrevocable bidder is allocated to the lots for which the irrevocable bidder is not the successful purchaser. Under such circumstances, the total compensation to the irrevocable bidder will not exceed the total buyer’s premium and other amounts paid to Sotheby’s in respect of any lots for which the irrevocable bidder is not the successful bidder. If the irrevocable bid is not secured until after the Online Only Auction is open ,an email will be sent to those who have placed a bid on that lot at the time the irrevocable bid is not secured. If the irrevocable bidder is advising anyone with respect to the lot, Sotheby’s requires the irrevocable bidder to disclose his or her financial interest in the lot. If an agent is advising you or bidding on your behalf with respect to a lot identified as being subject to an irrevocable bid, you should request that the agent disclose whether or not he or she has a financial interest in the lot.

⊻ Interested Parties

Lots with this symbol indicate that parties with a direct or indirect interest in the lot may be bidding on the lot, including (i) the beneficiary of an estate selling the lot, or (ii) the joint owner of a lot. If the interested party is the successful bidder, they will be required to pay the full Buyer’s Premium and Overhead Premium. In certain instances, interested parties may have knowledge of the reserve. In the event the interested party’s possible participation in the sale is not known until after the Online Only Auction is open, an email will be sent to those who have placed a bid on that lot at the time Sotheby’s becomes aware that interested parties may be bidding on the lot.

□ No Reserve

If any lots in sale are offered without reserve, these lots are indicated by a box(□).All other lots in this catalogue are offered subject to a reserve. A reserve is the confidential hammer price established between Sotheby’s and the seller and below which a lot will not be sold. The reserve is generally set at a percentage of the low estimate and will not exceed the low estimate for the lot. If all lots in a sale are offered without a reserve, a Special Notice will be included to this effect and the box symbol will not be used.

◉ Restricted Materials

Lots with this symbol have been identified at the time of cataloguing as containing organic material which may be subject to restrictions regarding import or export. The information is made available for the convenience of Buyers and the absence of the Symbol is not a warranty that there are no restrictions regarding import or export of the Lot; Bidders should refer to Condition 11 of the Conditions of Business for Buyers. Please also refer to the section on Endangered Species in the Buying at Auction Guide. As indicated in the Endangered Species section, Sotheby’s is not able to assist buyers with the shipment of any lots with this symbol into the US.

A buyer’s inability to export or import any lots with this symbol cannot justify a delay in payment or a sale’s cancellation.

6.CLOSING THE ONLINE ONLY AUCTION

An end time is displayed for each Lot on the Online Only Platform, at both the auction homepage and on the Lot page. Lots will close at the stated time unless a bid is placed within 1 minute of a Lot's scheduled end time. If this occurs, Sotheby’s will extend the sale of that Lot by 2 minutes from the time of the last bid. The extension of any Lot's closing time does not affect the closing time of the following Lots. This may result in Lots closing out of numerical order. Upon the closing of each Lot, you will receive another email and push notification indicating whether you have won or lost each Lot on which you have placed a bid.

7.HOW TO PAY FOR YOUR LOT

If you are a successful Buyer of a Lot, Sotheby's will email you the Buyer's Invoice for the total amount due by you (together with payment instructions) as soon as reasonably practicable after the final Lot in the relevant Online Only Auction closes. Payment from the invoiced party is due in full by the payment date stated in the Buyer’s Invoice. Please note that we reserve the right to decline payments received from anyone other than the buyer of record and that clearance of such payments will be required. Please contact our Post Sale Services if you have any questions concerning clearance.

A Buyer’s Premium and Overhead Premium is payable by the successful Bidder on a Lot in an Online Only Auction. The Buyer's Premium and Overhead Premium are added to the Hammer Price and are included as part of the total Purchase Price payable by the successful Bidder. In an Online Only Auction conducted by Sotheby's in Hong Kong, the Buyer’s Premium rate is as follows: 25% of the Hammer Price up to and including HK$3,500,000, 20% of any amount in excess of HK$3,500,000 up to and including HK$31,000,000 and 13.9% of any amount in excess of HK$31,000,000. The overhead premium, which covers an allocation of Sotheby's overhead costs relating to our facilities, property handling and other administrative expenses, is 1% of the hammer price.

Please note the following information regarding Sotheby's accepted payment policies:

• It is against Sotheby’s policy to accept single or multiple related payments in the form of cash or cash equivalents in excess of HK$80,000.

• New clients or buyers paying in cash are required to provide proof of identity in the form of government issued photographic identification, such as passport, identity card or driver’s licence and proof of address.

• Cheques should be made payable to Sotheby’s Hong Kong Limited. Although personal and company cheques drawn in Hong Kong dollars from Hong Kong banks are accepted, property will not be released until such cheques have cleared unless you have pre-arranged Cheque Acceptance Facility.

• Bank transfers should be made to Sotheby’s. Our bank account details are shown on our invoices. Please include your name, Sotheby’s account number and invoice number with your instructions to your bank.

• All credit / debit card payments must be made using American Express, MasterCard, Visa or China UnionPay. In the case a charge is not approved, you will nevertheless be liable to Sotheby’s for all sums incurred by you. Credit / debit card purchases for the Online Only Auction may not exceed HK$1,000,000 in total. For all new clients to Sotheby’s or those whom we have not transacted before credit card must be presented in person.

• Payments in cash can only be made at Sotheby’s premises at 5^th Floor, One Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Hong Kong.

• Sotheby’s reserves the right to decline payments received from anyone other than the buyer of record, and to seek identification of the source of funds received.

8.SHIPPING, EXPORT OF PROPERTY AND RELATED MATTERS

You or your agent may collect your property from our office or our agent’s warehouse. Our office is open from Monday to Friday between the hours of 9.30am and 6.00pm, except public holidays. You can contact Post Sale Services on the number set out in the online catalogue or by email at hkpostsaleservices@sothebys.com.

We are generally able to arrange for shipping of the property to you, but please check with Post Sale Services on a case by case basis. If you want us to arrange shipping, we will provide you with a quote from our shipping agent for shipping fees and transit insurance costs. We will dispatch the property as soon as the following are satisfied (i) you have paid for the property and shipping fees in full, (ii) any lien or security on the property has been released, and (iii) any requisite export licence that may be required has been provided to Sotheby’s,

All shipments should be unpacked and checked on delivery and any discrepancies notified to the transit insurer or shipping agent immediately.

Certain countries may impose tax and fees on the importation of your property, e.g. sales tax, import tax, customs duty and clearance fees.

The export of any lot from Hong Kong or import into any other country may require you to obtain one or more export or import licences. It is your responsibility to obtain any such licence. The denial of any licence required or delay in obtaining such licence cannot justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in payment of the purchase price. We recommend that you retain all import and export papers, including licences, as in certain countries you may be required to produce them to governmental authorities.

Endangered Species: Items made of or incorporating plant or animal material, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, tortoiseshell, etc., irrespective of age or value, may require a licence or certificate prior to exportation and require additional licences or certificates upon importation to any country outside Hong Kong. Please note that the ability to obtain an export licence or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import licence or certificate in another country, and vice versa. For example, it is illegal to import African elephant ivory into the US and there are other restrictions on the importation of ivory into the US under certain US regulations which are designed to protect wildlife conservation.

Sotheby’s suggests that buyers check with their own government regarding wildlife import requirements prior to placing a bid. It is your responsibility to obtain any export or import licences and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation (please refer to Condition 10 of the Conditions of Business for Buyers (Online Only). Please note that Sotheby’s is not able to assist buyers with the shipment of any Lots containing ivory and/or other restricted materials into the US. A buyer’s inability to export or import these Lots cannot justify a delay in payment or a sale’s cancellation.

US Economic Sanctions: The United States maintains economic and trade sanctions against targeted foreign countries, groups and organisations. There may be restrictions on the import into the United States of certain items originating in sanctioned countries, including Burma, Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Sudan. Your inability to import any item into the US or any other country as a result of these or other restrictions cannot justify cancellation of the sale or any delay in payment of the purchase price. Please check with the specialist department if you are uncertain as to whether a Lot is subject to these import restrictions, or any other restrictions on importation or exportation.

SALES AND USE TAXES

Local sales taxes or use taxes may become payable upon import of items following purchase (for example, use tax may be due when purchased items are imported into certain states in the US). Buyers should obtain their own advice in this regard.

If we ship your property to a US state in which we are registered to collect sales tax or use tax, we will be obliged to collect and remit such on the total purchase price of the property. Depending on the state, such tax may also be levied on the cost of shipping and insurance. The imposition of sales / use tax is regardless of the country in which you reside or is a citizen. If you have provided us with a valid Resale Exemption Certificate before we release the property to you, the sales / use tax will not be charged.

Clients who wish to provide resale or exemption documentation for their purchases and/or clients who wish to have their purchased lots shipped to the US by Sotheby’s are advised to contact the Post Sale Services before arranging shipping.

TREATMENT AND CONDITION OF GEMSTONES

Traditionally, gemstones have been treated by a variety of techniques to enhance colour and generally to improve their appearance. Typically, rubies and sapphires have been heat treated and emeralds have been treated by oil or resin to improve colour and clarity. These or other techniques, such as dyeing, irradiation, coating and impregnation, may be used on other gemstones. Although it is widely believed that heat treatments are permanent, purchasers should assume that any treatment may not be permanent and that over time special care of the stone may be required. Unless the catalogue description specifically states that a stone is natural, we have assumed that some form of treatment may have been used and that such treatment may not be permanent. Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.

To the extent that Sotheby’s has laboratory reports containing specific information on the treatment of a stone, these reports are made available for review by prospective buyers. Available reports from internationally recognized gemmological laboratories will be noted in the description of the item. New forms of treatments and new scientific methods to discern them are constantly being developed. Consequently, there may be a lack of consensus among laboratories as to whether gemstones have been treated, the extent of the treatment or the permanence of the treatment.

References in the e-catalogue descriptions to certificates or reports issued by gemmological laboratories are provided only for the information of bidders, and Sotheby’s does not guarantee and accepts no responsibility for the accuracy, terms or information contained in such certificates or reports. Please also note that laboratories may differ in their assessment of a gemstone (including its origin and presence, type and extent of treatments) and their certificates or reports may contain different results.

Regarding diamonds, Sotheby’s shares the concerns expressed by the United Nations Security Council with respect to uncut diamonds potentially coming from Angola and Sierra Leone. We will comply fully with the Security Council’s resolutions regarding these matters.

CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS FOR BUYERS (ONLINE ONLY)

These Conditions of Business for Buyers (Online Only) set out the terms upon which Sotheby’s and the Seller offer the Lots for sale to Bidders.

You should read these Conditions of Business for Buyers (Online Only) and the Online Sale Information (including, but not limited to, the Guide to Buying in an Online Only Auction set out above) carefully before placing a bid for any Lot. In particular, Bidders’ attention is specifically drawn to Condition 4 below, which contains specific limitations and exclusions of the legal liability of Sotheby’s and Sellers.

By bidding for a Lot in an Online Only Auction on the Online Only Platform, you agree that these Conditions of Business for Buyers (Online Only) and the Online Sale Information shall be contractually binding on you. In the event that you are the successful Bidder for a Lot in an Online Only Auction, you agree that these Conditions of Business for Buyers (Online Only) and the applicable Online Sale Information will constitute the contract which governs the relationship between Sotheby’s, Sellers and Bidders.

1. Introduction

(i) these Conditions of Business for Buyers (Online Only);

(ii) the Conditions of Business for Sellers (Online Only) a copy of which can be provided to you on request;

In the case of (i), Sotheby’s provides services to the Seller including, but not limited to, concluding the sale contract which exists directly between the Seller and the Buyer (with Sotheby’s acting as agent on behalf of the Seller).

3. Duties of Bidders and of Sotheby’s in respect of items for sale

(a) Sotheby’s knowledge in relation to each Lot is partially dependent on information provided to it by the Seller, and Sotheby’s is not able to and does not carry out exhaustive due diligence on each Lot. Bidders acknowledge this fact and accept responsibility for carrying out investigations to satisfy themselves as to the Lots in which they may be interested.

(b) Bidders acknowledge that many Lots are of an age and type which means that they are not in perfect condition. All Lots are offered for sale in the condition they are in at the time of sale in the relevant Online Only Auction. Any reference to condition in the Online Sale Information will not amount to a full description of condition and the absence of any reference to the condition of a Lot in the online catalogue description does not imply that the Lot is free from faults or imperfections. Condition reports may be available to assist Bidders with assessing the condition of a Lot and are for guidance only. The online images of the Lot form part of the condition report provided by Sotheby’s. Certain online images of the Lot may not accurately reflect the actual condition of the Lot. In particular, the online images may represent colours and shades which are different to the Lot’s actual colour and shades. The Online Sale Information and/or any condition report relating to the Lot may make reference to particular imperfections of the Lot but you should note that the Lot may have other faults not expressly referred to in the condition report for the Lot or shown in the online images of the Lot. The condition report may not refer to all faults, restoration, alteration or adaptation because Sotheby’s is not a professional conservator or restorer but rather the condition report is a statement of opinion genuinely held by Sotheby’s. For that reason, Sotheby’s condition report is not an alternative to taking your own professional advice regarding the condition of the Lot. Please note that all electrical and mechanical goods are sold on the basis of their artistic and decorative value only, and should not be assumed to be operative. It is essential that prior to any intended use, the electrical system for any Lot is checked and approved by a qualified electrician. For any NFT Lot, you are solely responsible for reviewing and inspecting the smart contract, if available, prior to your purchase.

(c) The Online Sale Information provided to Bidders in respect of a Lot, and any other estimate, whether written or oral, or other report, commentary or valuation, is not a representation of fact but rather is a statement of opinion genuinely held by Sotheby’s. Any estimate may not be relied on as a prediction of the selling price or value of the Lot and may be revised from time to time in Sotheby's absolute discretion.

(d) No representations or warranties are made by Sotheby's or the Seller as to whether any Lot is subject to copyright or whether the Buyer acquires copyright in any Lot.

(e) Our staff are not information technology or data experts, and that by bidding in the auction of an NFT, you accept that NFTs are subject to inherent technological risks which may affect their performance now or in the future. You acknowledge and agree that the characterisation and regulatory scheme governing NFTs, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain technology is uncertain and undetermined, that your purchase and receipt of the NFT complies with applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction, and that new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the auction or the NFT.

(f) If the Lot is an NFT, the NFT may be subject to resale royalties through application of the smart contract on any subsequent resales of the NFT. On any such resale by you, you may be obligated to collect and remit to the appropriate party resale royalties as applicable, and you are responsible for any network fees that may apply to such payments as well as any transaction duties imposed by law.

(g) Subject to the matters referred to at 3(a) to 3(f) above and to the specific exclusions contained at Condition 4 below, Sotheby’s shall exercise such reasonable care when making express statements in the Online Sale Information (including, but not limited to, the catalogue description and any condition report relating to the Lot) as is consistent with the standard of care which a Bidder would reasonably expect from an auction house of Sotheby’s standing taking into account the estimate of the relevant Lot and in the light of:

(i) the information provided to it by the Seller;

(ii) scholarship and technical knowledge; and

(iii) the generally accepted opinions of relevant experts, in each case at the time any such express statement is made.

4. Exclusions and limitations of liability to Buyers

(f) Sotheby’s reserves the right to deactivate your Verified Account at any time prior to, during, or after an Online Only Auction.

(g) To bid on a Lot containing an NFT, prior to bidding, you must have a digital wallet capable of supporting and accepting the NFT.

6. Bidding in an Online Only Auction

(a) Bidding opens at a specified amount (which is below the presale low estimate for the Lot) and escalates in bid increments which are set out in the Online Sale Information relating to the Lot and which are determined at Sotheby’s discretion. Sotheby’s may vary the amount of the bid increments during the course of an Online Only Auction, at our sole discretion. Bids for a Lot may only be submitted between the dates and times specified in the Online Sale Information relating to the applicable Online Only Auction.

(b) An Online Only Auction can be fast moving. Competitive bidding can often escalate very quickly. Once you have set up a Verified Account, you will be able to submit a bid for a Lot by entering your maximum bid and clicking the ‘Place Bid’ button which appears at auction homepage on the Online Only Platform. If you haven’t already registered as a Verified Accountholder, you will be prompted to do so at that point. You will then be asked to review and confirm your maximum bid by pressing ‘Continue to Confirm Bid’ and in doing so your bid is submitted. You accept and agree that a bid is submitted using the ‘Continue to Confirm Bid’ button and increased bids are submitted as set out in (d) below.

If a bid is successfully submitted on a Lot in an Online Only Auction from a Bidder’s computer or mobile device, the Bidder irrevocably agrees to pay the amounts identified in Condition 8(b) below, in full. Sotheby’s is not responsible for any errors that the Bidder makes in bidding on a Lot.

(c) The Online Only Platform requires that you submit a bid which correlates to one of the increments set out in the bidding increment table, which is available to view at the page for bidding on the Lot.

(d) If you have the leading bid on a Lot, you will receive a notification on the Online Only Platform informing you that you are the highest bidder. If you are outbid by another Bidder, you will receive an email notification to inform you accordingly and providing a link to follow to increase your bid. Your updated bid is submitted by pressing ‘Continue to Confirm Bid’.

(e) In the event that you submit a bid for an amount at which a bid has already been accepted, your bid shall be rejected.

(f) Unless Sotheby’s decides to exercise its discretion in accordance with Condition 6(h) below, the highest bid when the Lot closes will be the successful Bidder. This means that a contract for sale has been formed between the Seller and the successful Bidder when the Lot closes. The successful Bidder will receive an email notification of any successful bid and will be invoiced by Sotheby’s in accordance with Condition 8 below.

(g) The sale record for an Online Only Auction maintained by Sotheby’s will be taken as absolute and final in all disputes. In the event of any discrepancy between the sale record for an Online Only Auction maintained by Sotheby’s and any message or notification provided to you in relation to your bid on a Lot and/or the applicable Online Only Auction, the sale record for the Online Only Auction maintained by Sotheby’s shall prevail.

(h) Sotheby’s reserves the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to

i. reject, revoke or refuse to accept any bid submitted for a Lot using the Online Only Platform even those bids which have previously been accepted;

ii. to withdraw any Lot or cancel the Online Only Auction whether prior to or during the Online Only Auction and Sotheby’s shall have no liability whatsoever in connection with such withdrawal or cancellation; and

iii. to divide or combine any Lots.

(i) A Bidder may cancel a bid placed in an Online Only Auction only if either (A) the description of the Lot or the condition report for the Lot listed in the e-catalogue has been materially revised after the bid was placed; or (B) a notice regarding the Lot has been posted on Sotheby’s website after the bid was placed. For further information, please contact the Sotheby’s Bids Department in Hong Kong.

7. Operation of the Online Only Platform

(a) Unless otherwise specified, all Lots are offered subject to a Reserve, which shall be no higher than the low presale estimate at the opening time for the applicable Online Only Auction. If any Lot is not subject to a Reserve, the ‘No Reserve’ symbol will be displayed against the Lot in the Online Sale Information.

(b) Sotheby’s offers the Online Only Platform as a convenience to its clients and the Online Only Platform shall be operated by Sotheby’s using reasonable care. The application that enables participation in an Online Only Auction via the Online Only Platform is optimized for broadband connectivity (DSL or cable modem). Broadband or other internet capacity constraints, corporate firewalls and other technical problems beyond our reasonable control may create difficulties for some users including, for example, in relation to accessing an Online Only Auction via the Online Only Platform and in maintaining continuity of such access. Sotheby’s will not be liable for any errors or failure by Bidders to place bids using the Online Only Platform via the internet or a mobile device (except where any such error or failure is within Sotheby’s reasonable control) including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by: (i) any loss of connection between Bidders and the Online Only Platform; (ii) a breakdown or fault with the online bidding software or other technical services which relate to the Online Only Platform; and/or (iii) a breakdown or fault with any internet connection, computer, mobile device or system.

(c) As a potential Bidder, you acknowledge and accept that you shall not be given an opportunity to inspect the property prior to bidding in the Online Only Auction.

(d) You acknowledge and accept that Sotheby’s shall have the right in its absolute discretion to reduce the Reserve for any Lot at any time during the Online Only Auction provided this has been agreed with the Seller prior to any such reduction.

8. Payment for a purchased Lot

8.1 General

(a) If you are a successful Buyer of a Lot, you will receive by email an invoice from Sotheby’s as soon as reasonably practicable after the final Lot in the relevant Online Only Auction closes. In the event of any discrepancy between the any email notifications received by you from the Online Only Platform and the invoice emailed to you by Sotheby’s after the relevant Online Only Auction closes, the invoice prevails. Terms and conditions regarding payment of the invoice are set out below.

(b) The invoice for the Purchase Price of the purchased Lot (the “Buyer’s Invoice”) which will include:

(i) the Hammer Price;

Please refer to Condition 10 of these Conditions of Business for Buyers (Online Only) for further information. For international Buyers, the terms of sale are Delivery Duty Unpaid. If you have purchased a Lot for delivery outside Hong Kong, it is your responsibility to ascertain and pay all international duties, custom charges, taxes, charges and tariffs owed to the appropriate government entity or that otherwise need to be paid prior to shipment and/or delivery including any third party charges necessary to facilitate shipment.

(d) The Buyer of a Lot is solely responsible for the payment of any sales tax or value added sales tax, sales or compensating use tax or any other similar tax payable as a result of the sale of a Lot. Further information and guidance as to the application of such taxes is provided in the Guide to Buying in an Online Only Auction set out above. Sotheby’s will collect any applicable taxes and artist resale right royalty on the purchase of a Lot where and as required by applicable law. The Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price in full without any deduction for taxes of any kind, unless such deduction is required by law. In any such case, the amount due to Sotheby’s from the Buyer will be increased to an amount that after deduction for any such taxes leaves an amount equal to the Purchase Price.

(e) Unless otherwise agreed, payment of the total amount specified on the purchase invoice for a Lot is due by the Buyer immediately following receipt of the Sotheby’s invoice for the relevant purchased Lot and in any event no later than 48 hours after receipt of the Sotheby’s receipt (the "Due Date") notwithstanding any requirements for export, import or other permits for such Lot. Sotheby’s will only accept payment from the registered Bidder and we cannot change the Buyer’s name on an invoice or reissue the invoice in a name which differs to the name of the registered Bidder. If you are registered to bid as a company, your company will need to pay for any purchases in the name of the company via an accepted payment method. Partial payment of a Lot, or payment across multiple credit cards for a single lot, is not permitted. Further information regarding accepted payment methods is set out in the Guide to Buying in an Online Only Auction set out above.

If you make payment in cryptocurrency other than in accordance with this Condition 8.2, we may, in our sole discretion, return those funds to you and hold you responsible for all third-party fees (including, without limitation, network fees, taxes, transfer fees, etc.), and in such circumstances we may require you to pay in the fiat currency of the sale.

(i) We shall have no liability for any payment made by you in cryptocurrency that is not received by us for whatever reason.

(j) You acknowledge the risks inherent to the use of cryptocurrency, including without limitation the risk of faulty or insufficient hardware, software, and internet connections; the risk of introduction or intrusion of malicious code or software; the risk of hacking or unauthorized access to your digital wallet or information stored therein, or of theft or diversion of funds therefrom; volatility and unstable or unfavourable exchange rates; and the risk of unfavourable regulatory intervention and/or tax treatment in relation to transaction in such currency. We will have no liability for any of the foregoing.

8.3 Shipping

(a) Following the auction, we will provide the Buyer with the invoice, which may include a shipping quote outlining the Buyer’s shipping costs (the “Buyer’s Shipping Quote”). For international Buyers, the Buyer’s Shipping Quote will be exclusive of any taxes or duties, and you acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to ascertain and pay all international duties, custom charges, taxes, charges and tariffs owed to the appropriate government entity or that otherwise need to be paid prior to shipment and/or delivery including any third-party charges necessary to facilitate shipment. Once you have accepted the Buyer’s Shipping Quote and we have received in full the Purchase Price, Additional Buyer’s Expenses and the amount stated in the Buyer’s Shipping Quote by the payment deadline, Sotheby’s will ship the Lot to you to the address you provided on your account following conclusion of the sale contract between the Seller and the Buyer. Purchased Lots cannot be delivered to P.O. boxes, and the Seller and we are unable to arrange delivery to those locations specified as excluded zones in the shipping costs calculator that is available on the Online Platform. If you request delivery of a Lot to any such destination, we reserve the right to require you to collect the Lot from us or to arrange delivery of the Lot by a third-party carrier.

(b) The provisions of this Condition 8.3(b) apply to NFTs:

(i) In order to receive the NFT, you must have a digital wallet that is capable of supporting and accepting the NFT, and which you, or the company you have registered to bid as, own, and to which you have access. You understand and acknowledge that not all digital wallets can support storage of a non-fungible token, and that if your wallet does not support storage of the NFT purchased by you, you may lose access to that NFT. You further understand and acknowledge that if you fail to provide us with an address for a digital wallet that is capable of supporting and accepting the NFT within five (5) business days of the conclusion of the auction, we may, in our sole discretion, treat the NFT as transferred to you for purposes of Condition 13(a)(ii), treat the NFT Lot as a Lot for which the Buyer has failed to pay in full for purposes of Condition 9, and hold you responsible for all resulting third-party fees (including, without limitation, custodial fees, insurance, network fees, taxes, transfer fees, etc.).

(ii) We or the Seller will transfer the NFT to the digital wallet that you have specified, after you have met the conditions in Condition 7 herein. You agree that we may require you to follow a security protocol to ensure that the NFT is safely received by you. We will transfer the NFT to the wallet address specified by you and are not responsible for confirming that you have supplied us with the correct or a valid address, and we are not responsible if the transfer of the NFT to your wallet fails unless such failure is the result of us sending the NFT to a wallet address other than the one provided by you.

8.4 Risk and Responsibility for Lots

(a) Risk and responsibility for a purchased Lot will transfer to the Buyer as follows:

(i) for Lots in online only auctions: (1) if we dispatch the Lot to the Buyer (using the method of shipping the Buyer specified for the Lot), when the Lot comes into the physical possession of the Buyer or the Buyer’s designated agent; or (2) if collection by the Buyer is permitted, when the Buyer or the Buyer’s designated agent collects the Lot. As a Buyer, you acknowledge that the Lot is at your risk if you choose to exercise any right you may have to cancel the contract for the purchase of the Lot (in accordance with the procedure set out at Condition 11 below) and that you should therefore insure the Lot against loss or damage until it is returned to us.

(ii) For NFTs: After transfer of the NFT to the digital wallet specified by you, you are thereafter responsible for secure storage of the NFT in the wallet or other storage mechanism you use to receive and/or hold the NFT. You further acknowledge that you are solely responsible for any risks associated with the transferring, creating, holding, storing, or use of NFTs or a digital wallet, as applicable, including network failures or disruptions; corrupted wallet files; viruses, phishing, bruteforcing, hacking, security breaches, mining attacks, or other means of attack against the NFT; risk of losing access to the NFT due to loss of private key(s); custodial or buyer error; regulatory interference in one or more jurisdictions; token taxation; personal information disclosure; uninsured losses; failure to provide appropriate maintenance (including without limitation hosting); and other unanticipated risks. Neither we nor the Seller will not be responsible for any such risks or losses.

(b) Once risk passes to the Buyer, the Buyer irrevocably releases each Sotheby’s Group Company, our and their respective officers and employees, agents, warehouses and the Seller, from any and all claims, causes of action, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees) for loss of or damage to the Lot.

(c) Prior to the time when risk and responsibility for a purchased Lot transfers to the Buyer, we assume liability for loss or damage to a Lot, subject to the exclusions set out in the following subparagraph. In the event of loss or damage for which we have assumed liability, we will determine the extent of depreciation to the Lot, if any, caused by the loss or damage and compensate the Buyer in respect of that loss up to a maximum of the Purchase Price paid by the Buyer for the Lot.

(d) We will not be liable for any loss or damage (1) occurring during any process undertaken by independent contractors engaged with your consent, including but not limited to for restoration, conservation, framing or cleaning; (2) caused to frames or to glass covering prints, paintings or other flat works; or (3) caused by changes in humidity or temperature (as long as we take reasonable care in handling the Lot), normal wear and tear, gradual deterioration or inherent vice or defect (including woodworm), war, any act or acts of terrorism (as defined by our insurers), nuclear fission, radioactive contamination, or chemical, bio-chemical or electromagnetic weapons. If the Lot is an NFT, in addition to the above, we will not be liable for any loss related to damage or corruption to the Referenced Content, failure of the NFT to reference the Referenced Content, or loss of, or other security or persistence issues related to, the Referenced Content.

(e) Upon your receipt of payment from us for any loss or damage to a Lot in accordance with this Condition, you, on your own behalf and on behalf of your insurer(s), irrevocably release us and the Seller from all liability for loss of or damage to such Lot and irrevocably waive all rights and claims that you might have against us or the Seller in connection with the same.

(f) Title in a purchased Lot will not pass until Sotheby's has received the total amounts due for that Lot in accordance with Condition 8(b) above in cleared funds. Sotheby's is not obliged to release a Lot to the Buyer until title in the Lot has passed and appropriate identification has been provided, and any earlier release does not affect the passing of title or the Buyer's unconditional obligation to pay the total amounts due for that Lot in accordance with Condition 8(b) above.

(g) If you fail to pay us the total amounts due for the purchased Lot(s) in accordance with Condition 8(b) above in full by the Due Date, Sotheby’s will be entitled to exercise any of the remedies identified at Condition 9 below.

9. Remedies for late or non-payment

Without prejudice to any rights the Seller may have, if the Buyer without prior agreement fails to make payment for the Lot by the Due Date, Sotheby's may in its sole discretion (having informed the Seller) exercise one or more of the following remedies:

(a) store the Lot at its premises or elsewhere at the Buyer’s sole risk and expense or, if the Lot is an NFT, to store such Lot at Sotheby’s or the Seller’s digital wallet or elsewhere at the Buyer’s sole risk and expense;

(b) cancel the sale of the Lot;

(c) set off any amounts owed to the Buyer by a Sotheby’s Company against any amounts owed to Sotheby's by the Buyer in respect of the Lot;

(d) apply any payments made to Sotheby’s by the Buyer as part of the amounts due pursuant to Condition 8(b) above towards that or any other Lot purchased by the Buyer, or to any shortfall on the resale of any Lot pursuant to paragraph (h) below, or to any damages suffered by Sotheby’s as a result of breach of contract by the Buyer;

(e) reject future bids from the Buyer or render such bids subject to payment of a deposit;

(f) charge interest at a rate not exceeding 2% per month from the Due Date to the date the Purchase Price and relevant Additional Buyer's Expenses are received in cleared funds (both before and after judgement);

(g) exercise a lien over any of the Buyer’s property which is in the possession of a Sotheby’s Company. Sotheby's shall inform the Buyer of the exercise of any such lien and within fourteen (14) days of such notice may arrange the sale of such property and apply the proceeds to the amount owed to Sotheby’s;

(h) resell the Lot by auction or private sale, with estimates and reserves at Sotheby's discretion. In the event such resale is for less than the Purchase Price and Additional Buyer's Expenses for that Lot, the Buyer will remain liable for the shortfall together with all costs incurred in such resale;

(i) commence legal proceedings to recover the Purchase Price and Additional Buyer's Expenses for that Lot, together with interest and the costs of such proceedings on a full indemnity basis; or

(j) release the name and address of the Buyer to the Seller to enable the Seller to commence legal proceedings to recover the amounts due and legal costs. Sotheby's will take reasonable steps to notify the Buyer prior to releasing such details to the Seller.

10. Transport and Shipping

(a) As stated in Condition 8 above, you will be emailed the Buyer’s Shipping Quote upon request. Once you have accepted the Buyer’s Shipping Quote and provided that the purchased Lot and the amount stated in the Buyer’s Shipping Quote have each been paid for in full by the Buyer by the payment deadline stated, Sotheby’s will ship the purchased Lot to the Buyer to the address provided by you on your Verified Account as soon as possible.

(b) The Buyer is responsible for payment of the Buyer’s Shipping Costs as specified in the Buyer’s Shipping Quote. Although Sotheby’s shall use reasonable efforts to take care when handling, packing and facilitating any shipment of a purchased Lot, Sotheby’s is not responsible for any acts or omissions by any third party retained for these purposes including, without limitation, any packing, shipping or delivery of purchased Lots. Similarly, where Sotheby’s may suggest or recommend any third party handler, packer or carrier if so requested by a Buyer, but Sotheby’s does not accept liability for their acts or omission and you agree to release Sotheby’s from any such liability.

(c) Any Lot sold in an Online Only Auction may be affected by laws on exports from the country in which it is sold and the import restrictions of other countries. Many countries require a declaration of export for property leaving the country and/or an import declaration on entry of property into the country. Obtaining the necessary permits and/or licences may result in additional costs and subsequent delays. Local laws may prevent you from importing a Lot or may prevent you from selling a Lot in the country which you import into. It is the Buyer's sole responsibility to identify and obtain any necessary export, import, firearm, endangered species or other permit for the lot. Any symbols or notices in the sale catalogue reflect Sotheby’s reasonable opinion at the time of cataloguing and offer Bidders general guidance only. For further guidance on export/import restrictions, please refer to the Guide to Buying in an Online Only Auction set out above.

(d) Without prejudice to Conditions 3 and 4 above, Sotheby's and the Seller make no representations or warranties as to whether any lot is or is not subject to export or import restrictions or any embargoes. The denial of any permit or licence shall not justify cancellation or rescission of the sale contract or any delay in payment.

(e) Sotheby’s will arrange for shipment of the Lots after full and final payment has been received by Sotheby’s.

11. Cancellation of an Online Only Sale

(a) If the Buyer is an Online Consumer and the Seller is an Online Trader, the Buyer may have the right to cancel the sale contract which exists directly between the Online Trader (as Seller) and the Online Consumer (as Buyer) during the Online Sale Cancellation Period for any reason provided that (i) the Online Consumer duly informs Sotheby’s during the Online Cancellation Period of their intention to cancel the purchase of the Lot; and (ii) the Online Consumer returns the Lot to Sotheby’s without undue delay and in any event not later than fourteen (14) calendar days from the day after the Online Consumer has communicated their intention to cancel the purchase of the Lot to Sotheby’s or, if the Lot is an NFT, after the date that you have submitted payment but before we or the Seller have initiated the transfer of the NFT to the wallet specified by you (the “Consumer Cancellation Period”). Once we or the Seller have initiated the transfer of the NFT to the wallet specified by you, you agree that you will no longer have the right to cancel the sale under the terms of this Condition. To exercise the Consumer Cancellation Right in relation to a Lot, the Consumer must (1) notify us of intention to cancel by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or email or you may use the model cancellation form provided in Condition 12(c)) prior to the end of the Consumer Cancellation Period, and (2) for Lots that are not NFTs, return the Lot to us in the same condition as when you or your representative received it, by no later than 14 calendar days after providing notice of intent to cancel. The cancellation right does not apply to the purchase of a Lot made to the Buyer’s specifications or a Lot that is clearly personalised.

(b) To exercise the right to cancel the sale contract in relation to a Lot, the Online Consumer must inform Sotheby’s (being the company within the Sotheby’s Group and specified in the Online Sale Information which offers to sell the Lot either as agent for the Seller or as principal) of their decision to cancel the sale contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or email). Alternatively, the Online Consumer may use the model cancellation form set out below. Provided that the Online Consumer sends the communication to inform the Online Trader of the cancellation prior to the end of the Online Sale Cancellation Period, the Online Consumer will be deemed to have cancelled the sales contract within the Online Sale Cancellation Period.

(c) If the Online Consumer cancels the sales contract within the Online Sale Cancellation Period, Sotheby’s will reimburse (without undue delay and in any event within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of the returned Lot from the Online Consumer within the time frame specified in Condition 11(a)(ii)) payments received by Sotheby’s from the Online Consumer (including the Purchase Price and any Standard Online Delivery Costs). Sotheby’s shall not process the reimbursement unless and until the Lot is returned to Sotheby’s or you have supplied Sotheby’s with evidence of having returned the Lot to us. Please note that Lots should be returned to Sotheby’s in the same condition they were received by the Online Consumer or their representative. Sotheby’s will make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of the returned Lot, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

(d) Sotheby’s will make the reimbursement to the Online Consumer using the same method of payment as the Online Consumer used for the initial transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise. Sotheby’s will not charge the Online Consumer any fee in connection with processing the reimbursement.

(e) Sotheby’s shall not reimburse the Online Consumer by the amount of any supplementary costs which arise if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by Sotheby’s or any import duties we incur as a result of you returning the Lot to us. Sotheby’s is entitled to deduct from the reimbursement the amount of any loss in value of the Lot which is caused as a result of unnecessary handling by you.

(f) You shall send back the Lot or hand it over to us at such address as we may specify for the purpose, without undue delay and in any event no later than 14 calendar days from the day after which you communicate your cancellation of your purchase of the Lot to us. This deadline is met if you send back the Lot before the period of 14 calendar days has expired. You will have to bear the direct costs of returning the Lot. If we arranged for the Lot to be delivered we estimate that the cost of returning the Lot by the same means is likely to be similar to the cost of delivery but it is not possible for us to be more accurate as to this cost due to the many variables involved in our worldwide business model and the means by which a return might be made.

(g) If you exercise a Consumer Cancellation Right pursuant to this Condition 11 and you paid any amount(s) due using cryptocurrency, you understand and agree that we, at our sole discretion, may refund you (1) the same amount(s) of the same cryptocurrency that you paid to us; (2) the amount(s) in fiat currency that we invoiced to you; or (3) the fiat currency equivalent at the time the refund is made of the amount(s) of cryptocurrency that you paid. In no circumstance will you be entitled to receive any appreciation on the value of the cryptocurrency that you provided to us as payment in connection with a refund.

12. Cancellation of Services

(a) If the Buyer is an Online Consumer and the Seller is an Online Consumer, the Buyer shall not have the right to cancel the sale contract (in accordance with Condition 11 above). However, the Buyer shall be entitled to cancel the contract for any delivery services which Sotheby’s agrees to provide to the Buyer in connection with your purchase of the Lot during the Services Online Sale Cancellation Period without giving any reason.

(b) As a Buyer in an Online Auction, you request Sotheby’s immediately to begin performance of the delivery services during the Online Services Cancellation Period. If you subsequently decide to exercise your right to cancel the provision of services (in accordance with Condition 12(a) above) during the Online Services Cancellation Period, you shall pay to Sotheby’s an amount which is in proportion to the value of the services that have been performed by the time you exercise your cancellation right. Sotheby’s will make any reimbursement due to you without undue delay and in any event, not later than fourteen (14) days after the date on which we are informed about your decision to cancel the services. Sotheby’s will make the reimbursement to the Online Consumer using the same method of payment as the Online Consumer used for the initial transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise. Sotheby’s will not charge the Online Consumer any fee in connection with processing the reimbursement.

(c) To exercise the right to cancel the contract in for delivery services in relation to a purchased Lot, the Online Consumer must inform Sotheby’s of their decision to cancel the provision of services by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or email). Alternatively, the Online Consumer may use the model cancellation form set out below. Provided that the Online Consumer sends the communication to inform the Online Trader of the cancellation prior to the end of the Online Services Cancellation Period, the Online Consumer will be deemed to have cancelled the sales contract within the Online Services Cancellation Period.

13. Additional Provisions which apply where a Lot is an Experience

(a) As Is

Each Experience is sold “AS IS” without any representations or warranties of any kind. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sotheby's expressly disclaims any implied representations or warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, representations and warranties as to the condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, literature or historical relevance of an Experience, or as to the quality, accuracy, timeliness, non-infringing nature, completeness or reliability of any Online Sale Information which relates to an Experience, including any Experience Listing or other description of any Experience and any representations or warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade. No statement anywhere, whether oral or written, whether made in the catalogue, an advertisement, or elsewhere, shall be deemed such a warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Sotheby's is not responsible for errors and omissions in any Online Sale Information which relates to an Experience, including any Experience Listing, or any supplemental material.

(b) No Endorsement

Sotheby's does not plan, host, operate, or fulfil the Experiences. Sotheby's does not endorse, verify, vouch for, investigate or vet any Experience. Sotheby's does not make any representations or warranties, express or implied, of any kind with respect to any Experience. Sotheby's is not responsible for estimates, descriptions or any other matters relating to the offer and sale of any Experiences. Information about Experiences is provided by the Seller. Sotheby's does not verify the accuracy of this information.

(c) Costs and Expenses

For each Experience, any incidental costs and expenses such as fees for travel, food or lodging are the sole responsibility of the Purchaser unless otherwise expressly stated in the Experience Listing for the applicable Experience.

(d) Withdrawal

Sotheby's reserves the right to withdraw any Experience before, during and after the Online Only Auction and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal.

(e) Limitation of Liability

In connection with the sale of any Lot which is an Experience, in no event will Sotheby's aggregate total liability to a Purchaser exceed the portion of purchase price actually paid for a Lot equal to the value of the respective Experience. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, as between the Purchaser and Sotheby's, in each case to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Purchaser assumes the entire risk arising out of or in connection with the Purchaser's purchase of and participation in an Experience or otherwise arising out of or in connection with the fulfilment of a purchased Experience. None of Sotheby's, its affiliates, or any of their respective employees, shareholders, officers or directors (each, a "Sotheby's Party") (a) are liable for any negligence or wilful act or omission of any person or entity providing any goods or services arising out of or in connection with Purchaser's purchase of or participation in any Experience or otherwise arising out of or in connection with the fulfilment of a purchased Experience, or (ii) are responsible for and each expressly disclaims and you release each such person or entity from any liability for any injury, damage or harm to any person or entity or to real or personal property, financial or physical loss, death, inconvenience or delay arising out of or in connection with Purchaser's purchase of or participation in any Experience or otherwise arising out of or in connection with the fulfilment of a purchased Experience.

In connection with the sale of any Lot which is an Experience, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Sotheby's Party will be liable for any incidental, punitive, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute services arising out of or in connection with Purchaser's purchase of or participation in any Experience or otherwise arising out of or in connection with the fulfilment of a purchased Experience, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not such person or entity has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

In connection with the sale of any Lot which is an Experience, no Sotheby's Party assumes any responsibility for any other third party's failure to comply with any applicable laws and regulations. Each Sotheby's Party explicitly disclaims and you release each Sotheby's Party from any and all liability for any act or omission of any other third person or entity. Sotheby's cannot control the Purchaser's or any guest's interaction with the Seller or any third party and each Sotheby's Party expressly disclaims and you release each Sotheby's Party from any liability arising out of or in connection with such interaction.

You agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain arising out of or in connection with any Experience or the Online Only Auction will be limited to a claim against the Seller or other third parties. You agree not to impose or attempt to impose any liability on any Sotheby's Party or seek any legal remedy from any Sotheby's Party with respect to any Experiences or the Online Only Auction.

(i) the Bidder and/or Buyer is not subject to trade sanctions, embargoes or any other restriction on trade in the jurisdiction in which it does business as well as under the laws of the European Union, the laws of England and Wales, or the laws and regulations of the United States, and is not owned (nor partly owned) or controlled by such sanctioned person(s) (collectively, “Sanctioned Person(s)”); and

17.Law and Jurisdiction

Governing Law - These Conditions of Business for Buyers (Online Only) and all aspects of all matters, transactions or disputes to which they relate or apply (including any online bids in the sale to which these Conditions apply) shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with Hong Kong law.

Jurisdiction -All Bidders and Sellers agree that the courts of Hong Kong are to have exclusive jurisdiction to settle all disputes arising in connection with all aspects of all matters or transactions to which these Conditions of Business for Buyers (Online Only) relate or apply. All parties agree that Sotheby’s shall retain the right to bring proceedings in any court other than the courts of Hong Kong.

Service of Process - All Bidders and Sellers irrevocably consent to service of process or any other documents in connection with proceedings in any court by facsimile transmission, personal service, delivery by mail or in any other manner permitted by Hong Kong law, the law of the place of service or the law of the jurisdiction where proceedings are instituted, at the last address of the Buyer or Seller known to Sotheby’s or any other usual address.

SOTHEBY’S AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE FOR ANY PROPERTY (EXCEPT JEWELLERY, WINE, SPIRITS AND TEA)

If Sotheby’s sells an item which subsequently is shown to be a “counterfeit”, subject to the terms below Sotheby’s will set aside the sale and refund to the Buyer the total amount paid by the Buyer to Sotheby’s for the item, in the currency of the original sale.

For these purposes, “counterfeit” means a lot that in Sotheby’s reasonable opinion is an imitation created to deceive as to authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description of such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue (taking into account any Glossary of Terms). No lot shall be considered a counterfeit by reason only of any damage and/or restoration and/or modification work of any kind (including repainting or over-painting).

Please note that this Guarantee does not apply if either:

(i) the catalogue description was in accordance with the generally accepted opinions of scholars and experts at the date of the sale, or the catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or

(ii) the only method of establishing at the date of the sale that the item was a counterfeit would have been by means of processes not then generally available or accepted, unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely to have caused damage to the lot or likely (in Sotheby’s reasonable opinion) to have caused loss of value to the lot; or

(iii) there has been no material loss in value of the lot from its value had it been in accordance with its description.

This Guarantee is provided for a period of five (5) years after the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the Buyer and may not be transferred to any third party. To be able to claim under this Guarantee, the Buyer must:

(i) notify Sotheby’s in writing within three (3) months of receiving any information that causes the Buyer to question the authenticity or attribution of the item, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons why it is thought to be counterfeit; and

(ii) return the item to Sotheby’s in the same condition as at the date of sale to the Buyer and be able to transfer good title in the item, free from any third party claims arising after the date of the sale.

Sotheby's has discretion to waive any of the above requirements. Sotheby's may require the Buyer to obtain at the Buyer's cost the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Sotheby's and the Buyer. Sotheby's shall not be bound by any reports produced by the Buyer, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. In the event Sotheby's decides to rescind the sale under this Guarantee, it may refund to the Buyer the reasonable costs of up to two mutually approved independent expert reports.

SOTHEBY’S AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE FOR JEWELLERY

If Sotheby’s sells any gemstone or pearls which the Buyer subsequently shows to Sotheby’s reasonable satisfaction not to be genuine or of natural origin, subject to the terms below Sotheby’s will set aside the sale and refund to the Buyer the total amount paid by the Buyer to Sotheby’s for such gemstones or pearls, in the currency of the original sale.

This Guarantee is provided for a period of twenty one (21) days after the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the Buyer and may not be transferred to any third party. To be able to claim under this Guarantee, the Buyer must:

(i) notify Sotheby’s in writing within such 21 day period of the reasons for not believing the gemstones or pearls to be genuine or of natural origin, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased; and

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

WRISTWATCHES

All wristwatches are sold as viewed and cannot be returned on the grounds that repairs have been carried out or parts supplied by anyone other than the named makers.

Watches may not be taken apart whilst on view. Prospective buyers or their agents wishing to do so should make an appointment with the Watch Department for a private view the week before the sale. Although condition reports may be given on request, such reports are statements of opinion only and may not specify all mechanical replacements or imperfections in the movement, case and dial. All dimensions are approximate.

Watches in water-resistant cases have been opened to examine movements but no warranties are made that the watches are currently water-resistant.

Please note that we do not guarantee the authenticity of any individual component parts, such as wheels, hands, crowns, crystals, screws, bracelets and leather bands, since subsequent repairs and restoration work may have resulted in the replacement of original parts.

Please be advised that straps made of material derived from endangered or otherwise protected species (i.e. alligator and crocodile) are not sold with the watches and are for display purposes only. We reserve the right to remove these straps prior to shipping. Furthermore, in reference to watch bands, we do not guarantee the material of manufacture. Please be advised that the purchaser will be responsible for complying with any applicable export and import matters, particularly in relation to endangered species and the United States Department of Fish and Wildlife Services.

We make no representation or warranty as to the condition of any lot sold.

2. 瀏覽網上專場拍賣的拍品

相關的網上專場拍賣開售後，閣下即可查看網上專場拍賣中每件拍品的網上拍賣資訊。

拍賣前估價

如買家業務規則（網上專場）所載，每件拍品的網上拍賣資訊包括由蘇富比提供的拍賣前估價，皆作為準競投人的參考指引，以助他們釐定一件拍品的合適競投價。我方認為，任何介乎拍品於網上拍賣資訊的拍賣前高位與低位估價之間的競投價均有機會競投成功。儘管如此，拍品都可能以高於或低於拍賣前估價成交。我方建議閣下在提交出價前查看拍賣前估價。網上拍賣資訊中所述的拍賣前估價不包括買家酬金、營運附加費、任何適用的稅項或關稅。

拍品狀況

網上拍賣資訊包括拍品的網上圖錄；蘇富比僅為方便之故就拍品提供的任何網上狀況報告（拍品的網上圖像應被當作任何該等狀況報告的一部分）；任何在網上專場平台上列出與網上專場拍賣的拍品或拍賣相關的資訊（包括本網上專場拍賣購買指引）。

所有拍品均以其在網上專場拍賣拍賣時的狀況提呈出售。任何在網上拍賣資訊中對拍品狀況的說明，並不等同於對拍品狀況的完整描述，而網上圖錄中並無提及的拍品狀況，亦不表示該拍品沒有任何缺陷或瑕疵。閣下請務必理解，閣下在提交該拍品的競投之前，閣下並無機會檢驗該拍品的狀況。如欲了解更多有關閣下對拍品出價的詳細準則，請參閱買家業務規則（網上專場）第 3 條。

物品的出處

在某些情況下，若物品出處的資料具有學術價值或是為人熟悉且能協助鑑別該藝術品，蘇富比可能會在拍品的網上圖錄列出有關資料。然而，基於不同理由，賣家或上手物主的身份或可能不被披露，如因應賣家要求將其身份保密或因藝術品年代久遠以致上手物主之身份不詳等。

利害相關方的競投

倘獲准競投拍品之人士直接或間接擁有該拍賣品之權益，例如為出售拍品之遺產受益人或執行人，或為拍品之共同物主，或為提供或參與拍品擔保的人士，蘇富比會以電子郵件方式通知閣下，並在網上拍賣資訊上發表公告，表示有利害關係的各方可能會競投該拍品。在某些情況下，有利害關係的各方可能知悉底價。

3. 在網上專場拍賣提交拍品出價

網上專場拍賣的節奏可以很快。競價投標往往進展迅速。閣下在建立好認證賬戶後即可輸入閣下的最高出價，並點擊「出價」按鈕（於網上專場平台的拍品網頁上顯示）以提交拍品出價。若閣下尚未註冊為認證賬戶持有人，屆時系統將會提示閣下進行註冊。閣下將被要求點擊「繼續確認出價」以確認並提交閣下的最高出價。閣下接受並同意使用「繼續確認出價」按鈕提交投標，而提高的出價將按下文規則第 4 節所列明的規定提交。

網上專場拍賣從開放競投至結束拍賣為止，閣下都可以透過網上專場平台提交出價。

閣下之出價可與網上專場平台顯示之起標價相同，或高於此金額。閣下亦可輸入一個最高出價，經確認後，平台會自動代閣下出價，以回應競投對手，包括蘇富比代表賣家以底價為最高限額（如適用）的出價，競投至閣下預定的最高出價。蘇富比代表賣家提出、直至達到底價為止的出價，將顯示於網上專場平台，作為總出價次數的一部分。所有競投人均能看見拍品當前之最高競投；而閣下本人最高競投之金額及詳情只供閣下查閱，除非它是目前最高出價。如閣下之競投情況有變，閣下將會收到電郵及推送通知（如閣下已安裝蘇富比應用程式）。

輸入閣下的最高出價（即閣下願意為購買拍品而支付的最高價格）。只要閣下為最高競投人，網上專場平台會自動代閣下增加出價，直至出價金額達到閣下的最高出價為止。蘇富比採用預先釐定的每口叫價。請參閱網上專場平台拍品網頁所顯示的每口叫價連結。如有兩個金額相同的最高出價，我方將優先接納所收到的首個出價。

5. 符號解說

符號說明 以下為本圖錄所載符號之說明。

✧ 高估價拍品

如欲競投高估價拍品，蘇富比可要求競投高估價拍品的準競投人交付蘇富比港幣1,000,000元或其他由蘇富比決定之更大金額的訂金及任何財務狀況證明，擔保或／及其他由蘇富比可全權酌情決定要求的抵押作為參加蘇富比競投的抵押品。

○ 保證物品

附有○符號之拍品表示賣家獲保證可在一次或一連串拍賣中得到最低售出價。此保證可由蘇富比、第三方或蘇富比與第三方共同提供。若成功售出保證拍品，提供全部或部分保證的第三方會取得財務利益，而拍賣不成功則可能會承受虧損。與蘇富比共同提供保證的第三方可以對保證物品作出不可撤銷競投，或以其他方式進行競投。如果保證僅在網上專場拍賣開放後才提供，我方則會向在提供保證時已對該拍品出價的人發送電子郵件。若在同一圖錄中之所有拍品均得到此保證，該保證會在本拍賣圖錄所載之重要指示中註明，而此符號將不會用於每一項拍品。

△ 蘇富比持有擁有權權益之物品

附有△符號之拍品表示蘇富比擁有該拍品全部或部份之所有權益，或在拍品中持有相等於擁有權權益之經濟利益。

⋑ 不可撤銷競投

附有此符號之拍品表示已有競投方就拍品向蘇富比作出不可撤銷競投，該競投將會在拍賣期間以一個確保拍品定能售出之價格執行。該提供不可撤銷競投者可以超過不可撤銷競投之價格競投。如該方競投不成功，該方將會得到以最後落槌價作基準的報酬。倘提供不可撤銷競投者競投成功，則須支付全數買家酬金及營運附加費，並不會得到任何其他報酬。蘇富比或會不時就數項拍品達成不可撤銷競投協議。在這種情況下，蘇富比會按照提供不可撤銷競投者未有成功競投的拍品，向其分配並支付報酬。在此情況下，提供不可撤銷競投者就其未能成功競投的任何拍品所獲的報酬，將不多於蘇富比所收取買家酬金及其他支付給蘇富比的款項相加的總額。如果不可撤銷競投僅在網上專場拍賣開放後才確定，我方則會向在並沒有提供不可撤銷競投時已對該拍品出價的競投方發送電子郵件通知。如提供不可撤銷競投者向任何人士對拍品提出建議，蘇富比要求提供不可撤銷競投者向該人士披露己方與拍品有經濟利害關係。如有代理人向閣下提出建議或代閣下競投有不可撤銷競投之拍品，閣下應要求該代理人披露是否與拍品有經濟利害關係。

⊻ 有利害關係的各方

附有此符號之拍品表示對拍品有直接或間接利害關係的各方可能對拍品作出競投，包括 (i) 出售拍品之遺產受益人，或 (ii) 拍品之共同擁有者。倘有利害關係的一方為成功競投人，他們須支付全數買家酬金及營運附加費。在某些情況下，有利害關係的各方可能知悉底價。倘若在網上專場拍賣開放後蘇富比才獲悉有利害關係的一方可能參與拍賣，我方將即時向已對該拍品出價的競投方發送電子郵件通知。

□ 無底價

拍賣中任何沒有底價的拍品均會用方框符號標出。本圖錄中的所有其他拍品均設有低價。底價是由蘇富比和賣家共同設定之機密落槌價，拍品不會以低於該價格售出。底價通常以低位估價之一定比例來設定，且不會高於拍品的低位估價。若在同一圖錄中的所有拍品均沒有底價，則會就此作出特別通知而不會使用此符號。

◉ 受限制物料

附有此符號之拍品於編制圖錄時已識別為含有有機物料，而有關物料可能受到進出口限制。有關資料為方便買家查閱，而無附有該符號並非保證該拍品並無進出口限制。競投人應參閱買家業務規則第 11 條，亦請參閱「於拍賣會上購買指引」有關瀕危物種之章節。如「瀕危物種」章節所載，蘇富比無法協助買家將任何附有此符號的拍品運送到美國。

買家無法出口或進口任何附有此符號之拍品，並不能構成延遲付款或取消買賣的理由。

6. 網上專場拍賣結束

網上專場平台上的拍賣網頁及拍品網頁均會顯示每項拍品的結束時間。除非在該項拍品預定結束時間的 1 分鐘內有人出價，否則拍賣將按所標示的時間結束。如出現此情況，蘇富比將把該項拍品的競投時段從最後有人出價的時間起延長 2 分鐘。任何拍品的截止競投時間延長都不會影響後續拍品的結束時間。這可能會導致拍品未能按項數次序結束競投。每項拍品競投結束後，閣下將收到另一封電子郵件和推送通知，說明閣下就各項拍品的出價是否競投成功。

7. 拍品的付款方式

如閣下是拍品的成功買家，蘇富比將在相關網上專場拍賣會的最後一項拍品競投結束後，在合理可行的範圍內盡快透過電子郵件向閣下發送列有應付總額的買家賬單（連同付款指示）。收到賬單的一方應在買家賬單上註明的付款日期前悉數支付。請注意除記錄上的買家之外，我方有權拒絕任何其他人士的付款，而此等付款須先成功過帳。如閣下對結算事宜有任何疑問，請聯絡我方的售後服務團隊。

網上專場拍賣的成功競投者需支付買家酬金和營運附加費。買家酬金和營運附加費已包含在落槌價中，是成功競投者需支付的總買入價的一部分。在香港蘇富比進行的網上專場拍賣中，買家酬金的費率如下：拍品的落槌價為港幣 3,500,000 元或以下，酬金以落槌價之 25% 計算；超過港幣 3,500,000 至 31,000,000 元之部分，則以 20% 計算；超過港幣 31,000,000 元之部分，則以 13.9% 計算。營運附加費涵蓋蘇富比與其設施、物品處理及其他行政費用相關的營運開支，為落槌價之1%。

請注意以下有關蘇富比可接受的付款政策相關的資訊：

• 蘇富比不會接納港幣80,000以上的現金或現金等值形式的單次或多次相關付款。

• 蘇富比的政策要求任何選擇以港幣現金付款的新客戶或新買家提供：身份證明（由政府簽發而附有照片身份證明文件，如護照、身份證或駕駛執照），和固定地址證明。

• 支票：請以蘇富比香港有限公司為抬頭人。雖然以港幣開出之香港銀行個人及公司支票均獲接納，但是除非閣下已預先安排支票承兌協議，否則物品須待此等支票結清後方會交付。

• 銀行轉賬應匯款到蘇富比。我方的銀行賬戶詳細資料顯示於我方的帳單上。閣下請在給予銀行的指示中附上閣下的姓名、蘇富比賬號及帳單號碼。

• 信用卡/扣帳卡付款：蘇富比及信用卡公司（美國運通American Express、萬事達MasterCard、Visa或中國銀聯）保留是否接納該等付款之權利。如該等付款不被接納或撤回，閣下仍須承擔付款責任向蘇富比繳清所有費用。網上專場拍賣的信用卡/扣帳卡付款之上限為港幣 1,000,000 元。所有蘇富比新客戶或未曾與我方進行過交易之客戶，必須親身持卡付款。

• 港幣現金的付款方式僅可在位於香港金鐘道 88 號太古廣場一座 5 樓的蘇富比辦事處處理。

我方保留拒絕從登記買家以外的任何人收取付款的權利，並有權索取資金來源證明。

8. 有關付運、物品出口和相關事宜的更多資訊

閣下或閣下的代理人可以從我方辦公室或我方代理人的倉庫領取閣下的物品。我方的辦公時間為上午9時30分至下午6時，公衆假期除外。閣下可致電網上圖錄中的電話號碼與售後服務部聯絡，或發送電子郵件至 hkpostsaleservices@sothebys.com。

我方一般可付運物品給閣下，但具體情況請與售後服務部門核實。如閣下希望我方安排付運，我方將向閣下提供我方運輸代理的付運費用和運輸保費的報價。我方將在以下條件被滿足後立即發貨 (i)閣下已全額支付物品和付運費用，(ii)物品的任何留置權或抵押已被解除，及(iii)有關物品所需的出口許可證已提供給蘇富比。

閣下應在貨件在交付時開箱檢查，如有任何不妥之處，應立即通知提供付運保險的公司或付運代理。

進口物品時，某些國家可能會對閣下的物品徵收稅額，例如銷售稅，進口稅，關稅和清關費用。

任何拍品都可能需要一個或多個進出口許可證，閣下須負責取得任何有關之進出口許可證。任何所需許可證的申領被拒或遭到延誤均不能構成取消買賣或延遲支付應付總額之理由。蘇富比建議閣下保留所有進出口文件（包括許可證），因某些國家可能會要求閣下向政府當局出示此類文件。

瀕危物種：由植物或動物材料（如珊瑚、鱷魚、象牙、鯨骨、玳瑁等）製成或含有植物或動物材料之物品，不論其年份或價值，均可能須申領許可證或證書方可出口至香港境外，且進口至香港境外國家／地區時可能須申領其他許可證或證書。務請注意，能取得出口許可證或證書並不能確保可在另一國家／地區取得進口許可證或證書，反之亦然。例如，進口非洲象牙至美國即屬違法，在某些旨在保育野生動植物的美國規例約束下，進口象牙至美國境內亦有其他限制。

蘇富比建議買家向相關政府查核有關野生動植物進口之規定後再參與競投。閣下須負責取得任何進出口許可證及／或證書，以及任何其他所需文件（請參閱買家業務規則（網上專場）第 10 條）。請注意，蘇富比無法協助買家將任何含有象牙及／或其他受限制材料的拍品運送至美國境內。買家無法出口或進口此等拍品，並不能構成延遲付款或取消買賣的理由。

美國經濟制裁：美國維持對目標海外國家／地區、集團及組織之經濟及貿易制裁。來自緬甸、古巴、伊朗、北韓及蘇丹等被制裁國家之某些物品可能在進口美國時受到限制。因上述或其他限制而導致買家無法將物品進口至美國或任何其他國家／地區，不應作為取消或撤銷銷售或任何延遲付款之理由。如閣下不確定拍品是否受上述進口限制或任何其他進口限制影響，請向專家部門查詢。

銷售及使用稅

買家請注意，當進口所購買物品時，或須繳付當地之銷售稅或使用稅（例如進口物品至美國某些州份時或需繳付使用稅）。買家應自行就此方面徵詢稅務意見。

如果蘇富比付運本次網上專場拍賣之物品目的地為美國，而蘇富比在此美國州份已登記為美國銷售稅納稅人時，蘇富比必須徵收並繳交當地之銷售或使用稅。該稅項根據成交總買入價而定（總額包括落槌價、買家酬金、營運附加費、運費及保險費用），不論買家居住在任何國家／地區或是否為公民，都必須繳付相關稅項。如買家於蘇富比付運物品前，向蘇富比提供有效之轉售豁免證明 (Resale Exemption Certificate)，蘇富比將不會向買家收取銷售或使用稅。閣下如欲提供與本次交易相關之轉售或豁免證明，請聯絡售後服務團隊。

閣下如欲提供與本次交易相關之轉售豁免證明和／或欲由蘇富比將閣下購買的拍品付運往美國，請在安排付運之前與售後服務團隊聯絡。

寶石的處理及狀況

一般而言，寶石已經過各種技術處理，以提升色澤效果及修飾外觀。紅寶石和藍寶石通常已經過熱處理，而翡翠石則已經過油或樹脂處理以改善色澤和清透度。上述或其他技術，例如染色、照射、塗層和浸漬等處理方式，或會用於其他寶石。儘管大眾普遍認為熱處理屬永久性，但買家應假設任何處理都可能並非永久性的，並且隨時日推移可能需要對寶石進行特別護理。準買家應注意，除非圖錄中明確指出該寶石為天然寶石，否則我方假設該寶石可能已經被某種形式的處理，而且這種處理可能不是永久性。我方的拍賣前估價已反映此假設。

如果蘇富比擁有包含寶石處理具體資料的鑑定所報告，這些報告將可提供予準買家查閱。獲國際認可的寶石鑑定所提供的報告將在物品描述中註明。嶄新的處理方式以及用以鑒別不同處理方式的創新科學方法正不斷發展。因此，不同鑑定所之間對於寶石是否經過處理、處理的程度或處理的永久性皆可能缺乏共識。

電子圖錄描述中對寶石鑑定所發出的證書或報告之引用僅供競投人參考，蘇富比不保證該等證書或報告所載詞彙或資料準確無誤，亦不就此承擔任何責任。同時請注意，鑑定所對寶石的評定（包括其來源和身份、處理類型和程度）可能有所不同，而其證書或報告亦可能包含相異的結果。

關於鑽石方面，蘇富比與聯合國安全理事會一樣，對可能來自安哥拉和塞拉利昂的未切割鑽石表示關注。我方將全面遵循安理會就有關該等事項作出的決議。

買家業務規則（網上專場）

該等買家業務規則（網上專場）列明蘇富比和賣家向競投人提呈出售拍品的條款。

在參與任何拍品的競投之前，閣下應細閱本買家業務規則（網上專場）以及網上拍賣資訊（包括但不限於上述網上專場拍賣購買指引）。競投人請特別注意下文規則第 4 條，當中載有蘇富比和賣家的法律責任限制與免除條文。

如閣下在網上專場平台上參與網上專場拍品的競投，則表示閣下同意本買家業務規則（網上專場）以及網上拍賣資訊對閣下具合約上的約束力。倘若閣下在網上專場拍賣中成功競得拍品，則閣下同意本買家業務規則（網上專場）以及適用的網上拍賣資訊將構成規管蘇富比、賣家和競投人三方之間關係的合約。

1. 序言

(a) 蘇富比及賣家與準買家之合約關係受下列各項規管：

(i) 本買家業務規則（網上專場）；

(ii) 賣家業務規則（網上專場），可按需求將副本提供予閣下；

(iii) 網上拍賣資訊（包括但不限於上文所述的拍賣詳情和網上專場拍賣購買指引）；以及

(iv) 蘇富比真品保證，如適用於該單項物品（於下文載列）。就非同質化代幣而言，除非在蘇富比網站之相應拍品頁面上另有所載，否則真品保證是關於參考內容之原作者身份。

(b) 網上拍賣資訊將在網上專場拍賣開始之前識別該拍品的擁有者為 (i) 第三方（在該情況下，蘇富比將作為賣家的代理人）或 (ii) 蘇富比（在該情況下，蘇富比將以主事人之身份作為賣家行事）。在 (i) 的情況下，蘇富比向賣家提供服務，包括但不限於訂立直接存在於賣家與買家之間的銷售合約（蘇富比作為代理人代表賣家行事）。在 (ii) 的情況下，蘇富比擁有該拍品的全部或部分所有權，並且／或者可能以有抵押債權人或其他身份擁有拍品之法律、實益或財務利益。

(c) 網上拍賣資訊還將根據《歐盟消費者權利指令》表示賣家是否為當中所指的網上消費者（因此推斷並非為網上交易商）。這一點非常重要，因為《歐盟消費者權利指令》規定，若賣家為網上交易商，而買家為網上消費者，買家則有權取消購買拍品（根據本買家業務規則（網上專場）第 11 條所規定的程序）。而在賣家為網上消費者的情況下，取消購買拍品的權利並不適用，惟買家可能有權（根據《歐盟消費者權利指令》）取消蘇富比提供與購買拍品相關的若干服務（根據本買家業務規則（網上專場）第 12 條所規定的程序）。

3. 競投人及蘇富比有關拍賣物品之責任

(a) 蘇富比對各拍品之認識部份取決於賣家向其提供的資料，蘇富比無法及不會就各拍品進行全面盡職審查。競投人確認此事，並承擔檢驗之責任，以使彼等對可能感興趣之拍品感到滿意。

(b) 競投人明白眾多拍品年代久遠及種類特殊，意味拍品狀況並非完好無缺。所有拍品均以其在網上專場拍賣會上拍賣時的狀況提呈出售。網上拍賣資訊中對拍品狀況的任何說明，並不等同於對拍品狀況的完整描述，而網上圖錄中並無提及的拍品狀況，亦不表示該拍品沒有任何缺陷或瑕疵。狀況報告可提供予競投人以協助其評估拍品的狀況，其內容僅供參考。拍品的網上圖像構成蘇富比所提供的狀況報告之一部分。拍品的某些網上圖像可能無法準確反映拍賣品的實際狀況。具體而言，網上圖像所顯示的顏色和色調可能與拍品的實際顏色和色調不同。網上拍賣資訊和／或任何與拍品相關的狀況報告可能提及拍品的某些瑕疵，惟閣下應注意，拍品可能存在拍品狀況報告中並無明確提及或拍品網上圖像未有顯示的其他缺陷。由於蘇富比並非專業的藏品保存或修復人員，故此狀況報告可能不會提及所有缺陷、修復、變更或改動，而僅屬蘇富比所持的確實意見。因此，蘇富比的狀況報告並不能代替閣下自身就拍品的狀況尋求的專業意見。請注意，所有電器及機械貨品只按其藝術及裝飾價值出售，不應假設其可運作。任何拍品的電源系統在作任何操作前必須經合資格的電器技師檢驗和批核。就任何非同質化代幣之拍品而言，閣下需自行負責在購買前審查及檢視智能合約（如有提供）。

(c) 提供予競投人有關任何拍品之網上拍賣資訊以及任何估價（無論為書面或口述），或其他報告、評論或估值，該等資料皆並非事實之陳述，而是蘇富比所持確實意見之陳述。任何估價都不能作為對拍品售價或價值的預測依據，而蘇富比對此可全權酌情不時作出修改。

(d) 蘇富比或賣家概不就任何拍品是否受任何版權所限或買家是否已購買任何拍品之版權發出任何陳述或保證。

(e) 我方員工並非資訊科技或數據專家。閣下在拍賣會競投非同質化代幣，即代表閣下接受非同質化代幣存有固有技術風險，從而可影響其現在或將來之表現。閣下明白並同意非同質化代幣、加密貨幣及區塊鏈技術之特徵及監管方案存有不確定性及未確定性，而閣下購買及收取非同質化代幣均符合閣下所在司法管轄區之適用法律及法規，並且新法規或政策或會對拍賣或非同質化代幣產生重大不利影響。

(f) 倘若拍品為非同質化代幣，非同質化代幣透過使用智能合約而進行之任何隨後轉售或會被收取轉售版稅。在進行任何轉售時，閣下或有義務收取並向合適之一方匯付轉售版稅（如適用），並就支付可能適用於該等付款之任何網絡費用以及法律規定之任何交易稅負責。

(g) 受上文規則第 3(a) 至 3(f) 條所載事項及下文規則第 4 條所載特定豁免所規限，蘇富比在網上拍賣資訊（包括但不限於與拍品相關的圖錄和任何狀況報告）中作出之明示聲明，應按照競投人在考慮到相關拍品的估價以及基於以下因素的情況下，合理期望與蘇富比作為拍賣行身份相符的審慎態度作出：

(i) 賣家向其提供之資料；

(ii) 學術及技術知識；和

(iii) 相關專家普遍接納之意見作出之明示聲明，在各情況下以作出明示之時為準。

4. 對買家之責任豁免及限制

(a) 倘若蘇富比視拍品為贗品並符合適用的真品保證內各項條件，我方將向買家退回買入價。

(b) 就上文規則第 3 條之事項而言及受規則第 4(a) 及 4(e) 條所規限，蘇富比公司或賣家均毋須：

(i) 對蘇富比（或任何蘇富比公司）向競投人以口述或書面提供之資料之任何錯誤或遺漏負責，無論是由於疏忽或其他原因引致，惟上文規則第 3(e) 條所載者除外；

(ii) 向競投人作出任何擔保或保證，於賣家業務規則第 2 條中賣家向買家作出之明示保證以外之任何默示保證及條件則不包括在內（惟法律規定不可免除之責任除外）；

(iii) 就蘇富比有關網上專場拍賣和／或網上專場平台的運作，或有關出售任何拍品之任何事宜之作為或不作為（無論是由於疏忽或其他原因引致）向任何競投人負責。

(d) 倘涉及非同質化代幣，除上述情況，以及賣家所作出之明確陳述及保證（或會與任何已刊出之賣家業務規則不同）及蘇富比作為主事人向買家提供的真品保證之外，我方及賣家均不對以下事項作出任何陳述或保證：(1) 非同質化代幣或任何參考內容是否受版權保護；(2) 智能合約、非同質化代幣或參考內容之性質、特徵、內容、狀況、行為、操作、性能、安全性、完整性、元數據、持久性、質素、技術細節或條款，包括但不限於其任何進一步迭代；(3) 智能合約、非同質化代幣或參考內容或非同質化代幣之交付機制不存有漏洞、病毒或惡意軟件或其他有害內容，或將按照任何競投人或買家之預期或在沒有誤差或錯誤的情況下運作；(4) 參考內容之獨特性；(5) 非同質化代幣可靠、編程正確、與閣下或他人之電腦系統兼容、為最新、無錯誤、與閣下之電子錢包兼容或滿足閣下之要求，或非同質化代幣之缺陷可以或將會被糾正；或 (6) 描述非同質化代幣或參考內容之預期性能之任何模擬或影片之準確性或可靠性，無論其在我方網站上還是在任何其他平台上展示。

(e) 非同質化代幣進一步受以下附加條款約束。

(i)非同質化代幣並非由我方發行、鑄造或代幣化，而我方僅作為非同質化代幣賣家之代理人，於拍賣時提呈出售非同質化代幣。

(ii) 我方僅出售非同質化代幣之擁有權，而與非同質化代幣或參考內容或其任何迭代之任何轉售或於二級市場銷售絕無關聯，亦不對此負責。非同質化代幣及參考內容之任何版權，包括但不限於任何參考內容之任何複製權，均歸其創作者所有，而購買非同質化代幣不構成其轉讓。

(iii) 轉讓非同質化代幣的擁有權不保證可持續使用與其相關之參考內容，閣下接受有關購買、使用、轉讓及擁有非同質化代幣之風險（如適用），包括但不限於電訊、網絡、伺服器或區塊鏈故障、失靈或中斷；因遺失或忘記私鑰或密碼或錢包文件損毀而失去使用非同質化代幣權限之風險；輸入錯誤地址或錯誤架構之交易；病毒、網絡釣魚、暴力破解、黑客攻擊、安全漏洞、挖礦攻擊或其他網絡安全攻擊方式；保管或買家錯誤；對一個或多個司法管轄區之監管干預；代幣稅；個人資料披露；未投保之損失；以及其他未能預料之風險。

(iv) 閣下、我方或賣家均不會就任何特殊、後果性、間接、附帶或懲罰性之損害負責，包括（按適用情況）與規則第 4(e)(iii) 條所載之任何風險或免責屬性相關之損害。除上述情況外，對於與參考內容之損毀或損壞、非同質化代幣未能引用參考內容、或參考內容之損失、或與參考內容相關之其他安全性或持久性問題相關之任何損失，我方概不負責。

(v) 閣下對非同質化代幣、電子錢包及其他儲存機制、加密貨幣、區塊鏈技術以及上述所有項目之使用、特徵、功能、編程及／或其他重要特徵有充足了解，以全面理解並同意此等規則以及當中概述之免責聲明及風險，或已就上述事項諮詢專業顧問，因此，閣下參與任何非同質化代幣之拍賣，即代表閣下在知情的情況下接受對該等免責聲明及風險。

(f) 在不影響規則第 4(b) 條之情況下，競投人向蘇富比或賣家提出之任何索賠以該拍品之買入價金額為限。蘇富比或賣家在任何情況下均毋須承擔任何間接或相應而生的損失。

(g) 本規則第 4 條概不免除或限制蘇富比有關蘇富比或賣家作出之任何具欺詐成份之失實陳述，或有關蘇富比或賣家之疏忽行為或遺漏而導致之人身傷亡之責任。

6. 在網上專場拍賣會上出價

(a) 競投以指定的金額開始出價（該金額低於拍品的低位估價），並以與該拍品相關的網上拍賣資訊中所規定且由蘇富比酌情決定的每口叫價遞增。蘇富比可酌情決定在網上專場拍賣過程中更改每口叫價的金額。對某一拍品的出價只能在與該網上專場拍賣會相關的網上拍賣資訊中所規定的日期和時間內提交。

(b) 網上專場拍賣的節奏可以很快。競價投標往往進展迅速。當閣下建立好認證賬戶後，即可輸入閣下的最高出價並點擊「出價」按鈕（於網上專場平台的拍品網頁上顯示），以提交拍品出價。若閣下尚未註冊為認證賬戶持有人，屆時系統將會提示閣下進行註冊。閣下將被要求點擊「繼續確認出價」以閣下的最高出價。閣下接受並同意使用「繼續確認出價」按鈕提交投標，所提高的出價將按下文 (d) 節所列明的規定提交。

如競投人透過電腦或流動裝置對網上專場拍賣的某件拍品成功出價，競投人則不可撤銷地同意悉數支付下文規則第 8(b) 條中所列明的金額。蘇富比對競投人在競投拍品過程中出現的任何錯誤概不負責。

(d) 若閣下投得某一拍品的最高競投，閣下將於網上專場平台上收到通知，告知閣下為最高競投人。當閣下的出價被其他競投人超越，閣下將會收到一封電子郵件通知，並提供一個連結予閣下提高出價。閣下可點擊「繼續確認出價」提交最新出價。

如閣下使用蘇富比流動應用程式進行處理，亦可透過「快速叫價」提交出價，方法包括 (i) 將「快速叫價」按鈕一直滑動至螢幕右側以提交出價；或 (ii) 點擊「快速叫價」按鈕，然後點擊「出價」按鈕。

(e) 如閣下提交的競投金額經已被他人提出並接納，閣下的出價將被拒絕。

(f) 除非蘇富比決定根據下文規則第 6(h) 條行使其酌情決定權，否則在拍賣結束時，出價最高者將成為成功競投人。這意味著當拍賣結束時，賣家和成功競投人之間已經構成了銷售合約。成功競投人將收到競投成功的電子郵件通知，以及由蘇富比根據下文規則第 8 條開立的帳單。

(g) 在所有爭議中，蘇富比保留的網上專場拍賣紀錄將被視為絕對和最終的紀錄。如果閣下收到競投拍品和／或適用的任何網上專場拍賣相關之訊息或通知與蘇富比保留的網上專場拍賣紀錄有所差異，概以蘇富比保留的網上專場拍賣紀錄為準。

(h) 蘇富比就以下各項保留權利全權酌情決定：

i. 拒絕或撤銷任何經由網上專場平台就某一拍品提交的出價，即使是先前已被接受的出價；

ii. 撤回任何拍品或取消網上專場拍賣（無論在網上專場拍賣開始之前或拍賣期間），且蘇富比對該等撤回或取消概不承擔任何責任；和

iii. 分開或合併任何拍品項。

(i)只有在以下情況下，競投人方可取消在網上專場拍賣上提交的出價：(A) 出價後，電子圖錄中所列拍品的描述或狀況報告有重大修改；或 (B) 出價後，有關該拍品的通知已發佈在蘇富比網站上。詳情請聯絡香港蘇富比拍賣部。

7. 網上專場平台的運作方式

(a) 除另有訂明外，否則所有拍品均訂有底價，底價不得高於網上專場拍賣開始前時的低位估價。如任何拍品沒有底價，該拍品在網上拍賣資訊中的顯示將標有「無底價」符號。

(b) 蘇富比提供網上專場平台乃為方便客戶競投，而網上專場平台將由蘇富比以合理謹慎的方式運作。支援閣下經由網上專場平台參與網上專場拍賣的應用程式已針對寬頻連線（數碼用戶線路 (DSL) 或電纜解調器）進行優化。寬頻或其他互聯網容量限制、公司防火牆和其他超出我方合理控制範圍之外的技術問題或為部分用戶造成困難，包括例如經由網上專場平台進入網上專場拍賣和維持存取狀態的連續性。蘇富比不就競投人透過網絡或流動裝置使用網上專場平台進行競投時發生的任何錯誤或未能執行承擔責任（除非任何該等錯誤或未能執行在蘇富比的合理控制範圍內），包括但不限於以下原因造成的錯誤或未能執行：(i) 競投人與網上專場平台之間的任何連接中斷；(ii) 與網上專場平台相關的網上競投軟件或其他技術服務出現故障或問題；和／或 (iii) 任何網絡連接、電腦、流動裝置或系統出現故障或問題。

(d) 閣下確認並接受蘇富比可在網上專場拍賣期間隨時全權酌情決定降低任何拍品的底價，前提是在降低底價之前與賣家達成協議。

8. 為購得的拍賣品付款

8.1 總則

(a) 如閣下成功購得拍品成為買家，蘇富比將在相關網上專場拍賣會的最後一項拍品競投結束後，在合理可行的情況下盡快透過電子郵件向閣下發送帳單。倘若閣下從網上專場平台收到的任何電子郵件通知，與蘇富比在相關網上專場拍賣結束後透通過電子郵件向閣下發送的帳單之間有任何差異，概以帳單為準。有關帳單付款的條款及細則於下文載列。

(b) 所購得拍品的買入價帳單（「買家帳單」）將包括：

(i) 落槌價；

(ii) 買家酬金；

(iii) 營運附加費。

蘇富比還可應閣下要求以電子郵件方式向閣下發送一份包含買家運費的報價（「買家運費報價單」）至閣下在認證賬戶中登記的地址。詳情請參閱買家業務規則（網上專場）第 10 條。就國際買家而言，拍賣條款為「未完稅送貨」。如閣下所購得的拍品將運送至香港以外的地區，閣下有責任確認並向有關政府實體支付所有國際關稅、海關費用、稅項、費用和關稅，或其他需要在付運和／或送貨之前支付的費用，包括因付運而需要繳納的任何第三方費用。

(d) 拍品買家須自行負責支付任何銷售稅或增值銷售稅、銷售或補償使用稅或任何其他因銷售拍品而應繳納的類似稅項。更多有關該等稅項適用性的資訊和指引，請參見上文所載列的網上專場拍賣購買指引。蘇富比將在適用法律要求的情況下，就購買拍品收取任何適用稅款及藝術家轉售權使用費。買家應悉數支付買入價而不得扣除任何類型之稅款，除非該等扣除為法律所要求。在此等情況下，買家應向蘇富比支付之金額將增加至扣除任何稅款後，相等於買入價之金額。

(e) 除非另有協定，買家在收到蘇富比就所購得的拍品開立之相關帳單後，須即時支付該拍品的總金額，且無論如何不得遲於收到蘇富比之帳單後的 48 小時（「到期日」），即使該拍品有出口、進口或其他許可上的要求。蘇富比只接受已登記競投人的付款，我方不能更改帳單上的買家名稱或以與已登記競投人不同的名稱重新開立帳單。如閣下以公司名義登記競投，閣下的公司將需要以公司的名義以可接受的付款方式支付任何購買費用。恕不接受僅支付拍品的部分款項，或就一件拍品由多張信用卡所支付之款項。更多有關可接受付款方式的資訊，請參見上文所載列的網上專場拍賣購買指引。

8.2 以加密貨幣付款

對於合資格以加密貨幣付款之拍品，以加密貨幣進行的支付除須遵守上述規則第 8.1 條所載之條款外，亦受本規則第 8.2 條所載之條款所限。

(a) 我方僅接受在圖錄中指定為合資格以加密貨幣付款，或在拍賣前或期間透過任何口頭或書面公佈或通知的拍品以加密貨幣付款，亦僅接受以下加密貨幣：比特幣、以太坊及 USDC。

(b) 我方就所購拍品所發出之帳單將顯示以港幣為單位之買入價。我方亦會透過電郵提供一個連結，買家可使用該連結透過 Coinbase, Inc. (「Coinbase」) 以加密貨幣付款。

(d) 任何以加密貨幣支付的款項必須在閣下收到我方發出之帳單後十 (10) 個營業日內支付，並且必須在美國東岸時間星期一至五上午九時至中午十二時內進行（美國公眾假期除外）。

(e) 付款必須透過閣下在以下其中一個平台之名下賬戶或電子錢包進行：(1) Coinbase Custody Trust；(2) Coinbase, Inc.（包括 Coinbase、Coinbase Pro 及 Coinbase Prime 賬戶）；(3) Fidelity Digital Assets Services, LLC；(4) Gemini Trust Company, LLC；或 (5) Paxos Trust Company, LLC。恕不接受由多個電子錢包所支付之部分款項，閣下還需要提供就合理原因而要求之文件，以確認閣下持有用於付款之錢包。

(f) 沒有根據本規則第 8.2 條所支付的加密貨幣將不被接納。倘若閣下在沒有遵守本規則第 8.2 條之情況下以加密貨幣付款，我方可全權酌情決定將該等資金退還給閣下，而閣下須就所有第三方費用（包括但不限於網絡費用、稅款、轉讓費用等）承擔責任，在此情況下，我方可要求閣下以法定貨幣支付銷售金額。

(g) 閣下一旦啟動加密貨幣交易，交易將無法被逆轉；此為加密貨幣之固有特性，並非我方制定之政策。閣下有責任確認已將正確金額發送至正確電子錢包地址。

(h) 倘若閣下利用電子錢包或賬戶以加密貨幣付款，則代表閣下作出以下陳述及保證：(1) 閣下擁有用於付款之電子錢包及加密貨幣；(2) 電子錢包或賬戶並非由受制裁，或位於、居於或被安排於受制裁司法管轄區之任何人士直接或間接託管、營運或以其他方式控制；(3) 用於競投或購買之電子錢包或賬戶內之加密貨幣或任何其他資產並非來自受制裁，或位於、居於或被安排於受制裁司法管轄區之任何人士；及 (4) 閣下以加密貨幣付款不會引致（或以其他方式導致）我方、賣家或任何其他人士違反任何制裁、打擊洗錢、打擊恐怖主義、防止賄賂或防止貪污法律，或任何其他適用之法律。

(i)我方基於任何原因而無法收到閣下以加密貨幣支付的任何款項，我方概不負上責任。

(j) 閣下明白使用加密貨幣之固有風險，包括但不限於硬件、軟件及互聯網連接故障或不足之風險；引入或入侵惡意代碼或軟件之風險；黑客入侵或未經授權使用閣下電子錢包或儲存當中資料之風險，或盜竊或轉移資金之風險；波動及不穩定或不利之匯率；及與以該貨幣作交易相關之不利監管干預及／或稅務待遇之風險。我方就上述任何情況均不承擔任何責任。

8.3 付運

(a) 緊隨拍賣結束之後，我方將向買家提供帳單，其中可能包含概述買家運費的報價（「買家運費報價單」）。就國際買家而言，「買家運費報價單」將不包括任何稅項或關稅，而且閣下確認並同意，閣下有責任確認並向有關政府實體支付所有國際關稅、海關費用、稅項、費用和關稅，或其他需要在付運和／或送貨之前支付的費用，包括因付運而需要繳納的任何第三方費用。閣下一旦接受買家運費報價單，並且我方在付款截止日期前已悉數收取買入價、買家之額外費用和買家運費報價單中所列的金額，蘇富比將在賣家和買家之間的銷售合約訂立後將拍品運送至閣下在賬戶上提供的地址。所購得的拍品不能運送至郵政信箱，並且賣家和我方無法安排送貨到網上平台上運費計算器中指定為不適用區域的地點。如閣下要求將拍品運送至任何上述目的地，我方保留要求閣下向我方領取拍品或安排第三方承運人運送拍品的權利。

(b) 本規則第 8.3(b) 條之規定適用於非同質化代幣：

(i) 為收取非同質化代幣，閣下必須持有一個能支援及接受非同質化代幣之電子錢包，而閣下或閣下註冊競投之公司持有並有權使用該電子錢包。閣下理解並明白，並非所有電子錢包均能支援儲存非同質化代幣，倘若閣下之錢包未能支援儲存閣下所購之非同質化代幣，閣下或喪失使用該非同質化代幣之權限。閣下進一步理解並明白，倘若閣下未能在拍賣結束後五 (5) 個營業日內向我方提供能支援及接受非同質化代幣之電子錢包地址，我方可全權酌情決定，就規則第 13 (a)(ii) 條而言，將非同質化代幣視為已轉讓給閣下，就規則第 9 條而言，將非同質化代幣拍品視為買家未能支付全數款項之拍品，而閣下須就由此產生之所有第三方費用（包括但不限於保管費、保險、網絡費、稅款、轉讓費用等）承擔責任。

(ii) 當閣下滿足規則第 7 條所載之條件後，我方或賣家會將非同質化代幣轉移至閣下指定之電子錢包。閣下同意我方可要求閣下遵循安全協議，確保閣下安全收取非同質化代幣。我方會將非同質化代幣轉移至閣下指定之錢包地址，惟無責任確認閣下向我方所提供之地址是否正確或有效。倘未能轉移非同質化代幣至閣下之錢包，我方概不負責，除非轉移失敗是由於我方將非同質化代幣轉移至閣下所提供之錢包地址以外之地址。

8.4 拍品之風險及責任

(a) 已購買拍品之風險及責任將按下文所示轉移至買家：

(i) 就網上專場拍賣之拍品而言：(1) 如果我方將拍品發送予買家（使用買家就拍品指定的運送方式），則為當買家或買家指定的代理人收到拍品實體時；或 (2) 如果允許買家領取拍品，則為當買家或買家指定的代理人領取拍品時。作為買家，閣下明白如果閣下選擇行使閣下可能擁有的任何權利以取消購買該拍品的合約（按照下文規則第 11 條所規定的程序），該拍品的風險將由閣下承擔，因此閣下應該為該拍品投保直到其退回拍品予我方，以確保該拍品不會遭到損失或損毀。

(ii) 就非同質化代幣而言：在將非同質化代幣轉移至閣下指定之電子錢包後，閣下有責任將非同質化代幣安全儲存於閣下用以收取及／或持有非同質化代幣之錢包或其他儲存機制內。閣下進一步明白，閣下就與轉移、創建、持有、儲存或使用非同質化代幣或電子錢包相關之任何風險（如適用）承擔全部責任，包括網絡故障或中斷；錢包文件損壞；病毒、網絡釣魚、暴力破解、黑客攻擊、安全漏洞、挖礦攻擊或其他針對非同質化代幣之攻擊方式；因遺失私鑰而失去使用非同質化代幣權限之風險；保管或買家錯誤；一個或多個司法管轄區之監管干預；代幣稅；個人資料披露；未投保之損失；未能提供適當之維護（包括但不限於託管）；以及其他未能預料之風險。我方及賣家對任何風險或損失概不負責。

(b) 一旦風險轉移至買家，買家不可撤回地免除各蘇富比集團成員公司、我方及其各自職員及僱員、代理人、倉庫及賣家因拍品損失或損毀而產生之任何及所有索賠、訴訟因由、責任、損毀、損失及費用（包括但不限於合理律師費）。

(c) 在所購拍品之風險及責任轉移至買家前，我方會就拍品之損失或損毀承擔責任，惟受以下分段所載之豁免所規限。倘若由我方承擔責任之拍品出現損失或損毀，我方將決定因損失或損毀而引致拍品貶值之程度（如有），並就損失賠償買家，最高金額為買家就拍品所支付之買入價。

(d) 我方對以下情況概不負責：(1) 閣下同意聘用之獨立承辦商在進行任何工序，包括但不限於修復、保護、定框或清潔時出現之任何損失或損毀；(2) 對覆蓋印刷品、畫作或其他平面作品的框架或玻璃造成之任何損失或損毀；或 (3) 因濕度或溫度之變化（只要我方在處理拍品時有採取合理謹慎之措施）、正常磨損、逐漸變質或固有缺陷或瑕疵（包括木蟲）、戰爭、任何作爲或恐怖主義行為（由我方之保險公司定義）、核裂變、放射性污染或化學、生物化學或電磁武器造成之任何損失或損毀。倘若拍品為非同質化代幣，除上述情況外，對於與參考內容之損毀或損壞、非同質化代幣未能引用參考內容、或參考內容之損失、或與參考內容相關之其他安全性或持續性問題相關之任何損失，我方概不負責。

(e) 在閣下收到我方根據本規則就拍品之任何損失或損毀支付之款項後，閣下（代表自身及其保險公司）不可撤回地免除我方及賣家就拍品之損失或損毀之所有責任，並不可撤回地放棄就同樣情況閣下可能向我方或賣家提出之所有權利及索賠。

(f) 所購拍品之擁有權將於蘇富比悉數收取該拍品就上述規則第 8 (b) 條規定之相關應付總金額後方可轉移。蘇富比概無責任在拍品之擁有權經轉移及提供合適之身份證明前將拍品交給買家，而提早交付拍品不會影響擁有權之轉移或買家就上述規則第 8(b) 條規定無條件支付該拍品應付總金額的責任。

(g) 如閣下未能在到期日之前按照上述規則第 8 (b) 條向我方悉數支付所購拍品之應付總金額，蘇富比將有權行使以下第 9 條所規定的任何補救方法。

9. 逾期付款或欠繳款之補救方法

在不影響賣家可能擁有之任何權利下，倘若買家在未預先協議情況下未能在到期日前就拍品支付款項，蘇富比可（經知會賣家後）全權酌情決定作出以下一項或多項補救方法：

(a) 將拍品存放在其處所或其他地方，風險及費用完全由買家承擔，或者，倘若拍品為非同質化代幣，將拍品存放在蘇富比或賣家之電子錢包或其他地方，風險及費用完全由買家承擔；

(b) 取消該拍品之拍賣；

(d) 將買家支付予蘇富比的任何款項作為用以支付根據上文規則第 8(b) 條買家購買該拍品或任何其他拍品的部分應付款項，或用以支付任何拍品根據下文第 (h) 段重售時的差額，或蘇富比因買家違約而遭受的任何損失；

(e) 拒絕買家未來作出之競投或使其在須支付訂金的前提下競投；

(f) 收取由到期日至悉數收取買入價及相關買家之額外費用當日期間按不超過每月 2% 之利率計算之利息（包括作決定之前和之後）；

(g) 對買家由蘇富比公司管有之任何物品行使留置權。蘇富比於行使任何該等留置權時應知會買家，並在發出該通知之十四 (14) 天內可安排出售該物品，以及將所得款項用於彌補結欠蘇富比之金額；

(h) 透過拍賣或私人出售方式重售該拍品，並由蘇富比酌情決定估價及底價。倘若重售之價格低於該拍品之買入價及買家之額外費用，買家將仍須承擔該差額，連同是次重售產生之一切費用；

(i) 展開法律訴訟以追討該拍品之買入價及買家之額外費用，連同利息及完全彌償該訴訟之費用；或

(j) 向賣家透露買家之名稱及地址，使賣家得以展開法律訴訟以追討欠款及法律費用。蘇富比在向賣家透露該等資料前，將採取合理步驟知會買家。

10. 運輸及付運

(a) 如上文規則第 8 條所述，閣下將以電子郵件方式收到應閣下要求發送的買家運費報價單。閣下一旦接受買家運費報價單，並且買家在規定的付款期限內已悉數支付所購拍品款項和買家運費報價中所列的金額，蘇富比將盡快將所購拍品運送到閣下在認證賬戶中提供的地址。

(b) 買家有責任支付買家運費報價單中所列的買家運費。儘管蘇富比在處理、包裝和安排所購拍品的任何付運時會盡可能小心謹慎，但蘇富比對為此目的而保留的任何第三方之任何行為或疏忽概不負責，包括但不限於所購拍品的任何包裝、付運及送貨方面的問題。同樣，蘇富比在買家要求下可能建議或推薦任何第三方處理人、包裝人或承運人，但蘇富比對他們之作為或不作為概不負責，並且閣下同意免除蘇富比任何該等責任。

(c) 在網上專場拍賣中出售的任何拍品都可能受到其所在國家／地區的出口法律和其他國家／地區的進口限制所影響。許多國家／地區要求物品離開該地時需進行出口申報，和／或在物品進入該地時需進行進口申報。獲得必要的許可證和／或牌照可能會產生額外的費用和後續延誤。當地法律可能會禁止閣下進口拍品，或禁止閣下在進口的國家／地區銷售拍品。買家須自行負責識別及替拍品領取任何必要之進出口、軍火槍械、瀕危物種或其他方面之許可證。拍賣圖錄中的任何符號或提示反映蘇富比於編制圖錄時所持之合理意見，並僅為競投人提供指引而已。關於進出入口限制的進一步指引，請參閱上文所載的網上專場拍賣之購買指引。

(d) 在不影響上文規則第 3 及 4 條之情況下，蘇富比及賣家概不就任何拍品是否受進出口限制或任何禁運作出陳述或保證。不獲發任何許可證或執照並非取消或撤銷銷售合約或任何延遲付款之充分理由。

(e) 蘇富比收到全額和最終付款後將安排付運拍品。

11. 取消網上專場拍賣

(a) 如果買家為網上消費者而賣家為網上交易商，則買家有權在網上銷售取消期內以任何理由取消網上交易商（作為賣家）與網上消費者（作為買家）之間直接存在的銷售合約，條件是 (i) 網上消費者在網上取消期內正式通知蘇富比，其打算取消購買該拍品；(ii) 網上消費者將拍品退還予蘇富比，不得無故拖延，且無論如何不得遲於網上消費者向蘇富比表達取消其購買拍品的意向之次日起十四 (14) 個曆日，或者，如拍品為非同質化代幣，則在閣下提交付款之後但在我方或賣家啟動將非同質化代幣轉賬至閣下指定的錢包之前（「消費者取消期」）。一旦我方或賣家啟動將非同質化代幣轉賬至閣下指定的錢包，閣下同意閣下將不再有權根據本規則的條款取消拍賣。要行使與拍品有關的消費者取消權，消費者必須 (1) 在消費者取消期結束前透過明確的聲明（例如以郵寄、傳真或電子郵件方式發送的信函，或使用規則第 12(c) 條中提供的取消表格範本）通知我方，以及 (2) 對於非同質化代幣以外的拍品，在發出取消意向通知後不遲於 14 個曆日前，將狀況與閣下或閣下代表收到當日相同的拍品交還我方。取消權不適用於購買按買家要求訂製的拍品或個人化特色明顯的拍品。

(b) 為行使與拍品有關的銷售合約取消權，網上消費者必須透過明確的聲明（例如以郵寄、傳真或電子郵件方式發送的信函）將其取消銷售合約的決定通知蘇富比（即蘇富比集團內並為網上拍賣資訊中所指定以賣家代理人或主事人身份出售該拍品的公司）。或者，網上消費者可以使用下文載列的取消表格範本。只要網上消費者在網上拍賣取消期結束之前發送通訊通知網上交易商取消合約，網上消費者將被當作已在網上拍賣取消期內取消銷售合約。

(c) 如網上消費者在網上拍賣取消期內取消銷售合約，蘇富比將償還（不得無故拖延，且無論如何在收到網上消費者根據規則第 11(a)(ii) 條所規定的時間內退回的拍品後十四 (14) 個曆日內）蘇富比自網上消費者處收到的款項（包括買入價和任何標準網上付運費用）。除非拍品已退還予蘇富比，或閣下已向蘇富比提供已退還拍品的證據，否則蘇富比將不會作出退款。請注意，拍品應以網上消費者或其代表收到物品當日相同的狀況退還予蘇富比。如果由於閣下不必要的處理造成損失，蘇富比將從退還款項中扣除所退還拍品的價值損失。

(d) 除非另有明確協定，否則蘇富比將使用與網上消費者最初在交易時所選用的相同付款方式退還款項予網上消費者。蘇富比不會向網上消費者收取任何與處理退還款項相關的費用。

(e) 如果閣下選擇蘇富比提供的最低價標準付運方式以外的其他付運方式，蘇富比將不會向網上消費者償還任何額外費用，亦不會退還我方因閣下退還拍品予我方而產生的任何進口關稅。蘇富比有權從退還款項中扣除因閣下的不必要處理而造成的拍賣價值損失。

(f) 閣下應按我方指定的地址將拍賣品送回或交予我方，不得無故拖延，且無論如何不得遲於閣下通知本公司取消購買拍賣品之日起 14 個曆日。如閣下在 14 個曆日的期限屆滿之前將拍賣品送回，則可符合期限。閣下必須承擔退還拍賣品所產生的直接費用。如我方安排付運拍賣品，我方估計以相同方式退還拍賣品的費用可能與運送的費用接近，但由於我方的全球商業模式和退還方式涉及諸多變數，恕我方未能對有關費用作出更精確的判斷。

(g) 如閣下根據本規則第 11 條行使消費者取消權，且閣下曾使用加密貨幣支付任何應付款項，則閣下理解並同意，我方可酌情決定是否向閣下退還 (1) 閣下向我方支付的相同金額之加密貨幣；(2) 我方向閣下開立的發票中所列明的法定貨幣金額；或 (3) 在退款時相當於閣下支付的加密貨幣金額之法定貨幣。在任何情況下，閣下均無權就閣下提供予我方作為退款相關款項的加密貨幣價格而獲得任何升值。

12. 取消服務

(a) 如買家為網上消費者而賣家亦為網上消費者，買家則無權取消銷售合約（根據上述規則第 11 條）。然而，在網上服務取消期內，買家有權取消蘇富比同意向買家提供與閣下所購拍品有關的任何付運服務之合約，而毋須提供任何理由。

(b) 作為網上拍賣的買家，閣下可於網上服務取消期內要求蘇富比立即開始付運服務。如閣下其後決定在網上服務取消期內行使閣下取消有關服務提供的權利（根據上述規則第 12(a) 條），閣下則應向蘇富比支付一筆款項，該金額將按閣下於行使取消權利之時該等已完成的服務之價值的比例計算。蘇富比將不作無故拖延且在任何情況下，在我方獲告知閣下決定取消服務之日起十四 (14) 個曆日內，向閣下作出任何退款。除非另有明確協定，否則蘇富比將使用與網上消費者最初在交易時所選用的相同付款方式退還款項予網上消費者。蘇富比不會向網上消費者收取任何與處理退還款項相關的費用。

(c) 為就有關所購拍品的付運服務合約行使取消權，網上消費者必須透過明確的聲明（例如以郵寄、傳真或電子郵件方式發送的信函）通知蘇富比其取消服務提供的決定。或者，網上消費者可以使用下文載列的取消表格範本。只要網上消費者在網上服務取消期結束之前發送通訊通知網上交易商取消合約，網上消費者將被當作已在網上服務取消期內取消銷售合約。

每項體驗活動均以「現況」出售，不作任何形式的陳述或保證。在不局限上文概括性的原則下，蘇富比明確聲明就任何關於適購性或針對特定用途的適合性的暗示性陳述或保證作出免責聲明，亦不作關於體驗活動的狀況、尺寸、品質、稀有度、重要程度、出處、文獻或歷史相關性的陳述及保證，或與體驗活動有關的任何網上拍賣資訊之品質、準確度、及時度、非侵權性質、完整度或可靠度，包括任何體驗清單或任何體驗活動的其他描述，以及因交易過程或貿易慣例產生的任何陳述或保證。在任何地方，無論以口頭還是書面形式，無論在圖錄、廣告或其他地方作出的聲明，均不應被視為此類保證、陳述或責任的假定。蘇富比對任何與體驗活動有關的網上拍賣資訊（包括任何體驗清單）或任何補充資料中的錯誤和遺漏概不負責。

(b) 無給予認可

蘇富比概不計劃、主辦、營運或實現該等體驗活動。蘇富比概不認可、核實、擔保、調查或審查任何體驗活動。蘇富比不對任何體驗活動作出任何形式的明示或暗示之陳述或保證。蘇富比對提供和銷售任何體驗活動的估算、描述或任何其他事項概不負責。有關體驗活動的資訊由賣家提供。蘇富比概不就該等資訊的準確性進行核實。

(d) 撤回

蘇富比保留在網上專場拍賣之前、期間和之後撤回任何體驗活動的權利，並對該等撤回概不承擔任何責任。

(e) 責任限制

就任何屬於體驗活動的出售而言，蘇富比對買家的合計總責任在任何情況下均不會超過為拍品實際支付的買入價中相當於相關體驗價值的部分。買家確認並同意，在買家和蘇富比之間，在法律允許之最大範圍內，在各種情況下，買家承擔因買家購買和參與體驗而產生或與之相關的全部風險，或因履行所購買的體驗而產生或與之相關的風險。蘇富比、其聯屬公司或彼等各自的任何僱員、股東、職員或董事（均稱為「蘇富比方」）(i) 對因買家購買或參與任何體驗而產生或因使用所購得的體驗與之相關提供任何商品或服務的任何人士或實體之任何疏忽或蓄意的行為或不作為概不負責，或 (ii) 對任何個人或實體或不動產或個人財產的任何傷害、損壞或損害、財務或實體損失、死亡、不便或延誤概不負責，各自就此明確作出免責聲明，並且閣下免除各該等人士或實體之上述責任，該等責任皆由於買家購買或參與任何體驗或其他因使用所購得的體驗而產生或與之相關。

在出售任何屬於體驗的拍品時，在不局限上文的概括性的原則下，蘇富比方不會就任何附帶、懲罰性、特殊、懲戒性或後果性之損害負責，包括因買家購買或參與任何體驗或因使用所購得的體驗而產生或與之相關的利潤損失、數據或商譽損失、服務中斷、電腦損壞或系統故障或替代服務的費用，無論是否基於保證、合約、侵權行為（包括疏忽）、產品責任或任何其他法律理論，以及該等人士或實體是否已被告知此類損害的可能性，即使發現本文規定的有限補救措施未能達到其基本目的。

對於任何屬於體驗的拍賣，任何蘇富比方均不對任何其他第三方未能遵守任何適用的法律和法規承擔任何責任。各蘇富比方就此明確作出免責聲明，並且閣下免除各蘇富比方對任何其他第三人或實體的任何行為或不作為之任何及一切責任。蘇富比無法控制買家或任何客戶與賣家或任何第三方之互動，並且各蘇富比方就此明確作出免責聲明，並且閣下免除各蘇富比方因此類互動而產生或與之相關的任何責任。

閣下同意，閣下因任何體驗或網上專場拍賣而尋求獲得的任何法律補救措施或責任，將僅限於對賣家或其他第三方提出的索賠。閣下同意蘇富比不對任何蘇富比方施加或試圖施加任何責任，或就任何體驗或網上專場拍賣向任何蘇富比方尋求任何法律補救措施。

14. 競投人及／或買家擔保

(a) 競投人及／或買家擔保：

監管法例 - 該等買家業務規則（網上專場）及其有關或適用之所有事宜、交易或紛爭之各方面（包括本規則所適用的拍賣會之任何網上競投）均受香港法例規管並按其詮釋。

適用於所有物品之蘇富比真品保證（珠寶、葡萄酒、烈酒及茶葉除外）

倘若蘇富比所出售之物品其後被發現為「贗品」，根據下文之條款，蘇富比將取消該買賣，並將買家就該物品支付予蘇富比之總金額，以原拍賣之貨幣退還予買家。

就此而言，根據蘇富比合理之意見，「贗品」指仿製之拍品，用作欺騙作品出處、原產地、日期、產出年數、年期、文化或來源等各方面，而上述各項之正確描述並無收錄於圖錄內容（考慮任何專有詞彙）。拍品之任何損毀及／或任何類型之復元品及／或修改品（包括重新塗漆或在其上塗漆），不應視為贗品。

請注意，倘發生以下任何一種情況，本保證將不適用：

(i) 圖錄內容乃根據學者及專家於拍賣日期獲普遍接納之意見，或該圖錄內容顯示該等意見存在衝突；或

(ii) 於拍賣日期，證明該物品乃贗品之唯一方法，是有關工序並非當時普遍可用或認可、價格極高或用途不切實際；或可能已對拍品造成損壞或可能（根據蘇富比合理之意見）已令拍品喪失價值之方法；或

(iii) 倘根據拍品之描述，該拍品並無重大價值損失。

本保證所規定之年期為有關拍賣日期後五 (5) 年，純粹提供給買家之獨享利益，且不可轉移至任何第三方。為能依據本保證申索，買家必須：

(i) 在收到任何導致買家質疑物品之真偽或屬性之資料後三 (3) 個月內以書面通知蘇富比，註明拍品編號、購買該拍品之拍賣日期及被認為是贗品之理由；及

(ii) 將狀況與拍賣予買家當日相同，並能轉移其妥善所有權且自拍賣日期後並無出現任何第三方申索之物品退還予蘇富比。

蘇富比可酌情決定豁免上述任何規定。蘇富比可要求買家自費索取兩名為蘇富比及買家雙方都接納之獨立及行內認可專家之報告。蘇富比毋須受買家出示之任何報告所規限，並保留權利自費尋求額外之專家意見。倘若蘇富比決定根據本保證撤銷拍賣，蘇富比或會將最多為兩份經雙方審批之獨立專家報告所需之合理費用退還予買家。

適用於珠寶之蘇富比真品保證

倘若蘇富比出售任何寶石或珍珠，而買家其後以蘇富比合理滿意之方式表示，該等寶石或珍珠並不是真實或原屬天然，則根據下文之條款，蘇富比將取消該銷售，並將買家就該寶石或珍珠支付予蘇富比之總金額，以原拍賣之貨幣退還予買家。

本保證所規定之期限為有關拍賣日期後二十一 (21) 日，純粹提供給買家之獨享利益，且不可轉移至任何第三方。為能依據本保證申索，買家必須：

(i) 該二十一 (21) 日期間內，以書面通知蘇富比不相信該寶石或珍珠為真實或原屬天然之理由，註明拍品編號及買該拍品之拍賣日期；及

(ii) 將狀況與拍賣予買家當日相同，並能轉移其妥善所有權且自拍賣日期後並無出現任何第三方申索之物品退還予蘇富比。

專有詞彙

以下是本圖錄中使用的術語示例。任何關於原作者身份、屬性、來源、日期、年齡、出處和狀況的陳述均為意見陳述，不應被視為事實陳述。請細閱上述買家業務規則（網上專場）和真品保證的條款，特別是買家業務規則（網上專場）第 3 及第 4 條。

1. GIOVANNI BELLINI 喬瓦尼・貝利尼

我方認為是該藝術家的作品。當藝術家的名字不詳，在一連串星號後面的是藝術家的姓氏，無論前面是否有首字母，都表示我方認為該作品是由該藝術家所創作。

2. ATTRIBUTED TO GIOVANNI BELLINI 傳為喬瓦尼・貝利尼

我方認為這可能是該藝術家的作品，但對作者身份的確定性不如前一類作品。

3. STUDIO OF GIOVANNI BELLINI 喬瓦尼・貝利尼工作室

我方認為這是一件由該藝術家工作室內的不知名人士所創作之作品，可能是亦可能不是在該藝術家的指導下完成。

4. CIRCLE OF GIOVANNI BELLINI 喬瓦尼・貝利尼周邊人士

我方認為這件作品出自一位身份未確定但風格顯著的人士之手，與該藝術家關係密切，但並非一定是其學徒。

5. MANNER OF GIOVANNI BELLINI 喬瓦尼・貝利尼風格

我方認為這是一件具有該藝術家風格的作品，而且是在較後的日期創作的。

6. AFTER GIOVANNI BELLINI 隨喬瓦尼・貝利尼

我方認為這是一件對該藝術家已知作品的摹本。

7.已簽名和／或注明日期和／或題詞、一詞是指我方認為該簽名和／或日期和／或題詞乃出自該藝術家之手。

8. 附有簽名和／或日期和／或題詞、一詞是指我方認為該簽名和／或日期和／或題詞是由另一名人士所添加。

9. 所有尺寸均以高度，闊度的順序顯示。

腕錶

所有腕錶皆按所見提呈出售，不能以經過修理或零件並非所標示之製造商提供為由退還。

腕錶不能在陳列期間拆開。有此需要的準買家或其代理人應在拍賣前一星期與鐘錶部預約私人參觀時段。狀況報告可經查詢索取，然而該等報告僅為觀點陳述，可能未具體列明所有機械零件更換或機芯、錶殼及錶盤的瑕疵。所有尺寸量度皆為約數。

配備防水錶殼的腕錶曾被拆開檢查機芯，但不保證腕錶目前防水。

請注意，我方不保證任何個別零件的真確性，例如齒輪、指針、錶冠、水晶錶蓋、螺絲、鍊帶及皮革錶帶，因為後期修復可能導致原廠零件更換。

請注意，以瀕危或受保護物種（例如短吻鱷及鱷魚）身體部位製成的錶帶不與腕錶一併出售，此類錶帶只作展示用途。我方保留在付運前移除此類錶帶的權利。而且我方不保證錶帶或錶鍊的製造物料。請注意，買家須負責遵守任何適用的進出口事宜，特別是關於瀕危物種及美國魚類及野生動物管理局的法規。

我方不對任何已出售拍品的狀況作出陳述或保證。
