拍賣條款

您一旦參加拍賣，即表明您無條件接受下列拍賣條款的約束：

出價最高者即為買受人。買受人有義務用現金支付拍賣品的成交價，並另付25％的買受佣金用於支付成本和增值稅。如果適用，買受人還應支付特許權使用費。買受人若通過“在線實時競價”方式購買拍賣品，則應支付30％的拍賣費用。此外，每批拍賣品將收取5歐元管理費用。

LOECKX拍賣行保留以下權利：拒絕任何出價；就出價做出決策；將拍賣品分為一組或多組；或將拍賣品撤出出售範圍，並且不必說明理由。

拍賣行發布的拍賣品目錄、廣告、宣傳冊或任何其他書面材料中的信息僅供參考。因此，在任何情況下，該等信息均不會招致應由LOECKX拍賣行承擔的責任。對於有關作者、產地、日期、年齡、真實性、拍賣品的重量或物理狀態的信息的準確性，LOECKX拍賣行不作任何保證。 LOECKX拍賣行的員工不得也無權在此方面做出任何保證。因此，買受人必須在實際拍賣前自行對拍賣品及其狀態進行檢查。展出的珠寶和物品可以在拍賣前預約檢查。

任何拍賣品一旦出售給買受人，買受人即應承擔所有相關費用和風險。但是，在買受人全額支付拍賣品的價格和額外費用之前，買受人並不是拍賣品的所有人。任何投訴函必須在拍賣品出售後7天內以掛號信形式送達本拍賣行。超過此期限送達的投訴函不予受理。

如果出現與任何拍賣品的出售相關的爭議或錯誤，該拍賣品將被重新拍賣。對於在拍賣品的出售過程中產生的爭議，司法官員或公證員做出沒有上訴可能性的終局裁判。

買受人應在拍賣結束後3個工作日內支付本拍賣行向其出售的拍賣品的價款並領取該等拍賣品。一旦逾期，LOECKX拍賣行有權在不給予事先通知的情況下重新出售無人認領的拍賣品，或將該等拍賣品轉移至倉庫，由此產生的費用和風險由買受人承擔。如果買受人未在上述期限內付款，則在不影響針對買受人採取任何進一步法律行動的權利的前提下，LOECKX拍賣行可以在其認為適當的時候通過重新拍賣的方式出售相應的拍賣品。在這種情況下，買受人必須支付因強制出售產生的差價及所有與強制出售相關的費用和成本。如果拍賣品經強制出售後剩餘任何款項，則買受人無權獲得該款項。

發票和匯票是均應見票即付。如果買受人未在任何應付賬款的到期日之前付款，則該項應付賬款每月將在其總金額的基礎上自動產生2％的滯納金，恕不事先通知。此外，如果買受人未在任何應付賬款的到期日之前付款，則到期款項將自動按照15％的費率產生賠償費（賠償費的最低金額為75歐元），恕不事先通知。如果買受人未在任何應付賬款的到期日付款，LOECKX拍賣行將委託國際討債公司代為催收。由此產生的債款催收費用由買受人承擔。

任何買受人的行為均應視為以其自己名義實施的行為。不論買受人身居何職，買受人本人應承擔支付本拍賣行向其出售的拍賣品價款的責任。買受人在領取拍賣品之前，必須在第6條規定的期限內用保付支票或以銀行轉賬方式結清所有應付賬款（付款時應使用歐元，現金付款的最高限額為3000歐元）。如果買受人用非保付支票付款，則LOECKX拍賣行有權在買受人的支票未全部兌現前暫扣拍賣品。在此額外期間產生的與拍賣品相關的風險由買受人承擔。

LOECKX拍賣行不分拆開具發票，並僅接受向其或其代表提交的競拍書。

根據增值稅法律，買受人應在拍賣品出售之日所在月份的下一個月5日之前索要發票。在此之後，本拍賣行將不向買受人開具任何發票。所有出售給歐盟國家居民的拍賣品均受貿易規定的約束，因此不享受減免增值稅的待遇。

如果您不能參加公開拍賣會，您可以填寫一份委託競拍書。在這種情況下，競價金額不得低於30歐元。如果拍賣品的起拍價為200歐元，本拍賣行也可以在拍賣期間電話通知您。對於買受人而言，書面或電子競價以及電話競價具有相同的約束力，如同其身自在拍賣場競價一樣。在出價相同的情況下，親自在拍賣場競價的出價人始終享受優於任何其他出價人的權利。

通過電子郵件、本拍賣行的網站或門戶網站競價的出價人，或業已提交書面競拍書的出價人，必須自行查詢各自的競拍結果，並必須和親自在拍賣場競價或通過電話競價的買受人一樣遵守與付款和拍賣品領取相關的條款。

委託競拍書和電話競價

拍賣期間不能親自來到拍賣場的出價人可以向本拍賣行提交委託競拍書或通過電話參加競拍。在這種情況下，出價人必須通過信函、傳真或電子郵件確認其參加拍賣，並必須向LOECKX拍賣行提供其詳細信息。 LOECKX拍賣行有權檢查出價人的詳細信息、最近的發票及資信證明。如果買受人在購買某拍賣品時出現錯誤，或給了LOECKX拍賣行錯誤的電話號碼，或通話期間出現了通訊問題（如忙線、傳輸問題、移動網絡信號不良、通訊中斷、在線實時競價系統出現通訊問題等），LOECKX拍賣行概不承擔責任。如果兩個出價人對同一拍賣品的出價相同，本拍賣行將按照“先出價者先得”的原則給予優先購買權。

在發生爭議的情況下，Ghent法院將有專屬管轄權。
