TOUR AUTO 2023 - THE OFFICIAL SALE

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AUCTION AUTOMOBILES AND AUTOMOBILIA 2023

SAS AGUTTES (“AGUTTES”) is an operator of voluntary public auctions, declared to the Voluntary Sales Board and governed by Articles L.321-4 et seq. of the French Commercial Code. In this capacity AGUTTES acts as agent of the seller who contracts with the auction winner. These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (“GTC”) govern the relationship between AGUTTES and bidders for public auctions and negotiated sales organised by AGUTTES. AGUTTES may modify the GTC in writing and / or orally prior to the sale.

I - THE PROPERTY OFFERED FOR SALE

Description of lots: The indications given in the catalogue are the responsibility of AGUTTES and its expert, subject to the provisions mentioned below. Only indications in French are binding on AGUTTES to the exclusion of translations, which are free. They may be modified or corrected until the time of the sale in writing or orally. These modifications shall be recorded in the report of the sale, which shall have probative force. No other guarantee is given by AGUTTES, it being recalled that only the seller shall be bound by the guarantee against hidden defects and the legal guarantee of conformity. A certificate of authenticity of the lot will only be available if mentioned in the description of the lot. The dimensions, weights and other information (state, mileage, etc.) of the lots are given as an indication with a reasonable margin of error. For administrative reasons, the designations of the vehicles (model, type, year, etc.) include, unless otherwise stated, the information on the registration certificates. Restorations carried out as a precautionary measure, not altering the age and style characteristics, and not making any change to the specific nature of the lot, will not be mentioned in the description. The absence of any indication of restoration, accident or incident in the catalogue or conditions reports shall in no way imply that the vehicle is free from any defect present, past or repaired. Conversely, the mention of any defect does not imply the absence of other defects. The particular information in the catalogue has the following meanings: + Lots forming part of a court-ordered sale following an order of the Court of Justice, fees and expenses: 14.40% incl. tax; ° Lots, in which AGUTTES or one of its partners has financial interests; * Temporary import lots: and subject to a fee of 5.5% for books and “collection cars” or 20% for cars other than “collection car” and multiples (e.g. F1 casks), to be borne by the buyer in addition to the selling costs and the auction price, unless the buyer is outside the EU; ¤ Goods sold under the general VAT regime (for the total); # Lots visible only by appointment; ~ Lots made from materials from animal species. Import restrictions are to be provided for. Condition of lots: The lots are sold in the condition in which they are found at the time of sale with their imperfections and defects. Since lots are second-hand goods, no guarantee can be given on the condition thereof. It is specified that the condition of an automobile may vary between the time of its description in the catalogue, that of its presentation for sale and until the auction winner takes possession of the lot. References to the condition of a lot in a catalogue or condition report may not be considered as an exhaustive description of the condition of said lot. Descriptions may not under any circumstances replace the personal examination of the lot as indicated below. Condition reports will be sent upon request and for information purposes. Vehicles may be sold without technical inspection due to age, non-running condition or competition character. Vehicles from abroad are presented without French technical control. The offered vehicles are from a time when safety conditions and performance were lower than today. High caution is recommended to buyers during the first takeover. It is particularly recommended, prior to any use, to carry out a restart and to carry out all the checks necessary for the proper functioning of the vehicle (oil level, tire pressure, etc.). Lot exposure: Potential bidders are required to personally examine the lots and documents available for each vehicle (registration certificate, technical inspection, etc.) prior to sale at a private meeting or public display prior to sale in order to check the condition of the vehicle. Buyers are advised to be accompanied by an automotive professional. Reproduction of lots: Not all defects and imperfections of the batches are visible on the photographs of the batches reproduced in the catalogues, online or on any communication medium. Photographs may not give a fully faithful image of the actual condition of a lot and may differ from what a direct observer will receive (size, colour, etc.). Estimates: The estimates are based on the state of technical knowledge on the day of the estimate, the quality of the lot, its origin, condition and the market price on the day of the estimate. They are provided for information purposes only and cannot be considered as a guarantee that the lot will be sold at the estimated price.

II - THE SALE

Registration for sale: Important: the normal and priority method to bid is to be present in the sales room. As a service, other modes are possible that require prior registration: - By telephone: AGUTTES accepts, free of charge, to receive bids by telephone only for bidders who reported before 6 p.m., on the last business day before the sale. The potential bidder must have received a prior confirmation email from AGUTTES to be called. - By purchase order: Any person previously registered and wishing to bid will have the option to request the registration of purchase orders from AGUTTES on their behalf. The order must have been communicated in writing before 6 p.m. on the last business day before the sale, and the bidder must have received a confirmation email from AGUTTES to be called. No unlimited order will be accepted. If AGUTTES receives multiple purchase orders for identical auction amounts, the oldest order will be selected. - Online via Live platforms: The possibility of online auctions is offered on platforms allowing remote participation in auctions electronically, upon prior registration. The purchaser via the Live platforms is informed that the fees charged by these platforms will be borne exclusively by it. Participation in the auction by telephone, internet or order is carried out at the risk and peril of the bidder, AGUTTES cannot be held liable in the event of nonparticipation of the auction bidder for any reason whatsoever, particularly in the event of malfunction or failure to perform (no response from the bidder, error, interruption or omission in the reception of bids). Any malfunction or interruption of the telephone or live service will not prevent the auctioneer from continuing the auction, at his discretion. Procedure for identifying bidders: AGUTTES reserves the right to ask any potential bidder to prove its identity and for a legal entity, a Kbis extract less than three months old, it being specified that only the legal representative of the company or any duly authorised person may bid for and its bank details. In the event of non-compliance with the identification procedures, AGUTTES reserves the right to refuse its registration for the auction. All lots sold will be invoiced in the name and address of the client. No subsequent modification may be made. The bidder is deemed to act in its own name and will be solely responsible for the auction brought unless it is informed beforehand of its capacity as agent under the conditions indicated below. Any false indication shall incur the liability of the auction winner. Mandate by a third party: The bidder with a mandate must inform AGUTTES during the identification and registration procedure and produce a copy of the mandate and any other documents requested by AGUTTES. In such a case, the bidder and the principal shall be jointly and severally liable.  

Sales management: The auctioneer manages the sale on a discretionary basis, ensuring the freedom and equality between all bidders, while respecting the practices established by the profession. The auctioneer ensures the police of the sale, which allows him to refuse bids or to withdraw a lot without having to justify it. Awarding: The highest and the last bidder will be the auction winner, with all accepted means combined (order, internet, telephone, on-site, etc.). The awarding is evidenced by the pronouncement of the word “Sold”, which forms the sale agreement between the seller and the auction winner. Each lot is identified with a number corresponding to the number assigned to it in the sales catalogue. It is forbidden for sellers to bid directly on the lots belonging to them. In the event of a simultaneous “double-auction” recognised by the auctioneer, the lot will be put back for sale, with all bidders present being able to participate in this second auction.

Withdrawal: Each auction and bid is final and is binding on the auction winner, it being recalled that the auction winner may not withdraw either in the room, by telephone, online or on a purchase order. Transfer of risk and ownership: The transfer of ownership and risks between the seller and the auction winner takes place by the word «sold» by AGUTTES. AGUTTES disclaims all liability for losses and damages that the lots may suffer from the date of the award, with the auction winner having to insure the lots acquired as soon as the award is awarded.
