The estimated price is merely an assessment and guidance for buyers and the price at which an item is ultimately sold may substantially exceed or fall below the estimated price. An estimated price is not the same as a reserve price (minimum price). For the determination of the reserve price see section 6.

4.2 Bukowskis has the right to amend and/or supplement the description referred to in section 4.1.

4.3 It is incumbent on the Seller to keep informed of the description under which the items are sold and to alert Bukowskis to any errors in the description known to the Seller.

7.2 If a sales assignment is revoked, the Seller is responsible for compensating Bukowskis for costs related to expert opinions, valuation, photography, and handling, amounting to the full seller and buyer's commission of 17.5% plus 25%, totaling 42.5% (including VAT) of the estimated price.

8.2 If Bukowskis no longer intends to resell the item, the Seller will be notified by post or email. If the Seller has not collected the item within five (5) business days after the end of the last auction or other by Bukowskis' specified deadline, Bukowskis has the right to charge a storage fee of 50 SEK / 5 EUR (including VAT) per day, as well as costs for transport to, and storage in, external storage. Storage is at the Seller's expense and risk. Bukowskis may, at the Seller's request, convey home delivery of the item, at the Seller's expense.

In these cases, Bukowskis decides which price is acceptable. In doing so, Bukowskis has the right to compensation for storage and transport costs from the amount received. After settlement, any surplus will be transferred to the Seller. If Bukowskis has not been able to sell the item and has the item had an original estimated price not exceeding SEK 1,500, Bukowskis has the right to donate the item to charity in accordance with section 8.2.

The sale made through Bukowskis is subject to the right of withdrawal under the Swedish Distance and Off-Premises Contracts Act (2005:59)/the Finnish Consumer Protection Act (38/1978). If the buyer exercises its right of withdrawal, Bukowskis reserves the right to republish the item without notice to the Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in sections 6 and 8 above, after which Bukowskis bears no financial responsibility to the Seller for changes in the final price of the item at a resale. If the buyer exercises its right of withdrawal, Bukowskis also reserves the right to recover from the Seller any compensation paid.

10. ACCOUNTING/PAYMENT

10.1 Preliminary settlement will be sent by e-mail immediately after the end of the auction. In cases where the Seller has not provided a valid e-mail address, the Seller is obliged to contact Bukowskis for final information.

10.2 Information on hammered prices is provided via www.bukowskis.com.

10.3 Payment is made from Bukowskis no later than thirty-five (35) days after the online auction provided that full payment has been received from the buyer and that no complaint, cancellation or exercise of the statutory right of withdrawal has been made. When selling to a consumer, the buyer has a statutory withdrawal period of fourteen (14) days after the buyer has taken possession of the item (withdrawal period). If the buyer's withdrawal period has not expired at the time of regular payment, the payment to the Seller is postponed until five (5) business days after the expiry of the withdrawal period, provided that the buyer has not informed Bukowskis within the withdrawal period that the buyer wishes to exercise its right of withdrawal. If the buyer has notified Bukowskis of this but does not return the item in a statutory time (return period), Bukowskis has the right to require the fulfilment of the purchase against the buyer. In such case, the payment to the Seller is postponed until five (5) business days after the end of the return period (i.e. to a maximum of twenty-eight (28) days, plus five (5) business days, from the time the buyer is deemed to have taken possession of the item).

10.4 Bukowskis has the right to decline third party payments, i.e. payments from anyone else than the buyer.

10.5 Bukowskis keeps payments received from buyers separate in client funds account in accordance with the Accounting Funds Act.

10.6 Payment is made only to a bank account within the EU or to another account approved by Bukowskis. The Seller is responsible for the accuracy of the account details. Bukowskis has the right to decline third party payments, i.e. payments from anyone else than the buyer. In the event that the Seller has an overdue debt to Bukowskis, Bukowskis has the right to offset the payment against such debt.

10.7 Bukowskis is under no obligation to take action against the buyer and is not liable to the Seller for the buyer's fulfilment of the purchase. This also applies to compensation for damage that a delayed or non-payment may cause to the Seller. Any action for damages against buyers who do not fulfil their payment obligation is therefore not brought by Bukowskis without a special agreement being reached thereon with the Seller.

11. LIABILITY FOR DEFECTS

11.1 The Seller is made aware that the items are sold in accordance with the general terms and conditions that Bukowskis generally applies to buyers. The Seller is reminded that the buyer may allege defects or deficiencies in sold items or make other claims in accordance with Bukowskis' Conditions for Buyers and/or mandatory consumer law.

11.2 If Bukowskis becomes liable to buyers of items for defects, Bukowskis has the right to reimburse the buyer and claim compensation from the Seller corresponding to the value of Bukowskis' fault remedy or equivalent to the compensation paid to the buyer.

11.3 The Seller is also responsible for the authenticity of the item. Should the item, for example, in Bukowskis' opinion constitute a forgery, be associated with money laundering or terrorist financing or be exposed to theft or restitution, Bukowskis has the right to refund the buyer and then claim the corresponding compensation from the Seller. In the event that Bukowskis deems an item not authentic, the police authorities will in any case be informed.

11.4 If the buyer wishes to cancel the purchase, Bukowskis has the right to decide whether to accept the cancellation. If the purchase is cancelled, Bukowskis has the right but not the obligation to resell the item in accordance with section 8.

11.5 Bukowskis has the unilateral right to move, terminate or change the auction length of an auction due to technical or other circumstances that Bukowskis deems necessary, regardless of whether the circumstances have been within Bukowskis' control.

11.6 Unless otherwise required by mandatory law, Bukowskis will never be liable for direct or indirect damages that the Seller may suffer except if Bukowskis is guilty of gross negligence. The Seller is obliged to take reasonable measures to prevent, avert or limit loss or damage.

12. ASSIGNMENT

Bukowski Auktioner AB has the right to transfer its rights and obligations under the agreement entered into with the Seller to Bukowski Oy Ab. The Seller shall be informed if an assignment takes place.

13. FORCE MAJEURE AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

If Bukowskis or Bukowskis' subcontractor is prevented or delayed from fulfilling its obligations under these terms, e.g. in the event of a cancellation of auction sale or delayed payment, due to a force majeure event, Bukowskis shall be exempt from damages and other penalties, provided that Bukowskis informs the Seller within a reasonable time. As soon as the force majeure event has ceased, the obligation shall be fulfilled in an agreed manner. Force majeure events are unforeseen circumstances beyond Bukowskis' control, for example natural disaster, fire, flood, war, warlike event, revolution, confiscation, seizure, nuclear process, terrorism/terrorist act, new or amended legislation, government action or labor conflict.
