ADDITIONAL BUYERS’ NOTICE BUYER’S REMORSE Prospective purchasers are reminded that all sales are final once a lot is sold. Adam’s Auc- tioneers does not offer refunds for a change of mind or “buyer’s remorse.” The onus is on the Buyer’s to review all catalogue descriptions, condition reports, and any other available information carefully, and to inspect items in person or via the virtual view- ing services prior to bidding. This ensures that purchasers are fully satisfied with the condi- tion, provenance, and suitability of any lot before making a purchase. Separately, statutory rights regarding faulty or misdescribed items remain in place under Irish law, including the right to seek a repair, replacement, or refund where an item is found to be defective or not as described. VIEWING Adam’s Auctioneers provides both public viewing days and viewing days by appointment to enable any prospective buyer the opportunity to view and inspect any item prior to sale. Viewing days are open to the public prior to the auction as per specific in the sale catalogue. A virtual 3D viewing experience is available for selected sales, allowing users to navigate the saleroom environment with clear and intuitive controls. (Please note that the 3D viewing facility is not available for Jewellery and Watches auctions.) During office hours, a live chat function is accessible on screen. Should you have any queries while browsing online, a member of staff will be pleased to assist you in real time. It is incumbent on Buyers to view any items on which they would want to bid in order to sufficiently satisfy themselves of the item’s condition. CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION AND CONDITION REPORT Adam’s Auctioneers provides both catalogue descriptions and condition reports to assist prospective purchasers in making informed bidding decisions. Most lots are examined using a jeweller’s loupe or similar magnification tools. Catalogue Descriptions Catalogue descriptions set out the details of the item or group of items (the “lot”) being of- fered, typically including physical characteristics such as dimensions, materials, and compo- nent parts. Where relevant, provenance and other factual information may also be included. These descriptions are prepared with reasonable care and expertise, and Adam’s Auction- eers accepts responsibility for their accuracy, subject to any expressly stated limitations. However, in the case of lots comprising multiple items, it may not be possible to test or examine every component individually. Condition Reports Condition reports provide a general assessment of a lot’s visible physical condition, including apparent damage, wear, repairs, or alterations. They are intended as a guide only and reflect the opinion of the specialist at the time of inspection. The absence of reference to damage or imperfections should not be taken to mean that none exist. Buyers should expect signs of wear consistent with age and use and are strongly advised to satisfy themselves as to condition prior to bidding. WEIGHTS AND DIMENSIONS Dimensions for paintings, works on paper, posters and related items are recorded as height × width and refer to the unframed work. Where a work is framed or mounted, measure- ments refer to the visible image size (the inside measurement of the frame or mount). Where relevant, additional measurements — including overall framed sizes or further details re- lating to furniture — may be included in the catalogue description and/or condition report. All dimensions and weights stated in the catalogue are approximate and offered for guid- ance only. Prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of such infor- mation. Adam’s Auctioneers accepts no liability for the correctness of these assessments. Estimated weights, colours and clarities of diamonds and coloured gemstones are provided as guides only. Assessments are made within the inherent limitations of mounts and set- tings, and the stated estimated weight may differ from the actual weight if the stone were to be unmounted. Any such grades or assessments represent statements of opinion rather than guarantees. Buyers must satisfy themselves as to all such matters prior to bidding.
