Complaints

For all items in the catalogue, we guarantee their authenticity and the accuracy of the description in the catalogue, on behalf of the owner of the item or the person who put the item in the auction. Because of the possibility of viewing the auction material in advance, in order to ascertain its status, the auction participants present at the auction buy the items "as they stand and lie", therefore any claims for defects of items regarding their quality are excluded. Claims of buyers who did not participate in the auction personally will be assessed only in cases, where obvious defects have been detected on the items and have not been shown or otherwise visible in the catalogue. Buyers who pick up the items personally are obliged to reproach these apparent defects directly on the spot when picking up the items, others are obliged to reproach these obvious defects within 3 days from the date of delivery of the items. We do not accept later claims. The reclaimed item will be returned by the purchaser back in valuable writing without a COD, insured for the price of the shipment, and the reasons for the claim must be stated. Returned items must be in the same condition as when delivered. The auctioneer decides on the merits of the claim. The owner of the item or the person who put the auction item into the auction is responsible for the defects of the auction item that were or should be known to him and failed to notify the auctioneer of those defects in time in the auction contract. In the case of a recognized claim, the item is considered as unsold. This item will be returned to the petitioner and he / she is obliged to return the financial amount for this thing already paid immediately. The buyer's right to compensation for damages against the auctioneer is excluded.
