CONSIGNORS’ CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS

1.4. RMS’ contractual relationship with the Consignors is governed by:

1.4.1. These Conditions;

1.4.2. The Consignment Agreement package; for the avoidance of doubt, this is the fillable package containing the Consignor’s personal information and information regarding the Lot(s);

1.4.3. The Conditions displayed on RMS’ website; and

1.4.4. In each case as amended by any notice or website update.

(clauses 1.4. to 1.4.4. together “Contractual Obligations”)

1.5. As auctioneer, RMS acts as agent for the Consignor, and a sales contract is made directly between the Consignor and the Buyer.

1.5.1. Occasionally, RMS may own a Lot(s) (and in such circumstances, acts in a principal capacity as the Seller) and/or may have a legal, beneficial, or financial interest in a Lot(s) as a secured creditor or otherwise.

2. RMS Receiving Lot(s) in Trust: Any consigned Lot(s) is delivered to RMS in trust under the exact terms set forth in these Conditions. RMS agrees to receive the Lot(s) in trust and agrees not to permit its use for any other purposes, other than those contained in these Conditions, without the express written consent of the Consignor.

3. Services: RMS agrees to act as an agent for the Consignor and to provide Online Only Auction services, including but not limited to support staff, event advertising, and promotion. In connection with the Online Only Auction, RMS will have absolute discretion with regard to the Lot(s) or any RMS auction as to (a) consulting any expert either before or after the sale, (b) researching the provenance, (c) grouping and providing descriptions as may be appropriate, (d) marketing and promotion of the sale, and (e) any other services required to conduct the sale.

4. Commissions: If the Lot(s) is sold, the Consignor agrees to pay the Sellers’ Commission on the Hammer Price (the last accepted bid is the Hammer Price (“Hammer Price”)) of the Lot(s) to RMS, as indicated in the Commissions section of the consignment package. Further, the Consignor acknowledges that RMS will collect a standard Buyers’ Premium from the Buyer of the Lot(s) in question, based on the Hammer Price on the Lot(s). Please note that the standard Buyers’ Premium may change from time to time at the discretion of RMS if the standard Buyers’ Premium for the Online Only Auction changes. To be clear, the standard Buyers’ Premium will be clearly published as part of Bidder’s Conditions of Business in advance of the Online Only Auction, and the applicable Buyers’ Premium will be applied consistently across all lots in the Online Only Auction.

5. Inspection Report and Fees:

5.1. As part of the Online Only Auction sale process for each Lot(s) consigned, an RMS representative will perform an inspection and produce an Inspection Report to be made available to prospective Bidders along with the relevant description of the Lot(s) as the case may be (“Inspection Report”).

5.2. RMS will charge the Consignor a fee of €500.00 to be paid via credit card prior to the Lot(s) being accepted for the Online Only Auction to cover the costs of marketing expenses, including photography, and the Inspection Report associated with the Lot(s) (“Inspection Report Fee”). The Inspection Report Fee is non-refundable and is not credited toward the sales commission.

5.3. If issues are found during the inspection, RMS will provide the Consignor with a list of issues identified and an estimate to repair those issues where reasonable. The Consignor will be given an option to either (i) fix the issue at the quoted price with RMS recapping this quoted price from the Consignor’s proceeds of sale, provided there is reasonably sufficient time to fix such issue, OR (ii) leave the Lot(s) as is and market the Lot(s) with the issues disclosed.

5.3.1. Notwithstanding the above, if during RMS’ inspection, RMS (using reasonable commercial judgment) determines that the Lot(s) is unfit for sale due to several issues including, but not limited to, safety, mechanical, body condition, and authenticity, RMS reserves the right to rescind the consignment of the Lot(s) and the Consignor agrees to indemnify and hold RMS harmless from any alleged liabilities arising out of the rescission.

5.3.2. If RMS rescinds the consignment of the Lot(s) in accordance with clause 5.3.1, the Inspection Report Fee becomes non-refundable and it is the Consignor’s responsibility to arrange and pay for transportation of the Lot(s). If the Consignor does not remove the Lot(s) from either RMS’ United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany or Netherlands storage facility, the Consignor will be required to pay RMS a storage fee of €50.00 per day.

5.4. RMS disclaims any and all representations and warranties with regard to the inspection and the Consignor will hold RMS harmless from any claims, demands, losses, expenses, damages, costs, actions, and liabilities, including without limitation to court costs and attorney fees, of whatever kind or nature that may or may not occur, whether known or unknown, on the account of or arising out of all matters related to the inspection.

6. Proceeds to Consignor:

6.1. As an accommodation to the Consignor, RMS agrees to act as an intermediary between the Consignor and the Buyer by accepting the purchase price from the Buyer, transferring the Lot(s) to the Buyer, and delivering the amounts due to the Consignor under these Conditions.

6.2. As used in these Conditions, a “sale” occurs between the Consignor and the Buyer when the hammer or equivalent device or mechanism drops on the Hammer Price or when the time expires on a time-based online auction or when the auctioneer awards the Lot(s) to the highest Bidder, provided the Consignor is able to receive at least the net reserve price, defined as reserve price minus Sellers’ Commission as agreed in the Consignment Agreement package.

7. Exclusivity: The Consignor grants to RMS the exclusive right and authority to advertise and sell the Lot(s) for a period beginning with the date of these Conditions and ending 90 business days following the Online Only Auction.

7.1. If the Lot(s) is sold prior to the Online Only Auction and RMS has not agreed in writing to this sale, the Lot(s) will then be considered “withdrawn” from the Online Only Auction by the Consignor, and the Consignor agrees to abide by clause 22, Withdrawn Lot(s), of these Conditions.

The Title Fees will be deducted from the Consignor’s proceeds of sale.

8.3.1.1. In cases where pre-existing Titles do not exist and insurance bonds are necessary, the Consignor will be charged Title Fees on a case-by-case basis.

8.4. In order to facilitate and transfer the Title for the Lot(s), the Consignor agrees to sign the Power of Attorney attached to the Consignment Agreement package.

8.5. The Consignor will indemnify and hold RMS harmless from any claims, demands, losses, expenses, damages, costs, actions, and liabilities, including without limitation to court costs and attorney fees, of whatever kind or nature that may or may not occur, whether known or unknown, on the account of or arising out of all matters related to the Ownership and Titles.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, if RMS has paid any portion of the purchase price to the Consignor, but the purchase price has not been collected from the Buyer of the Lot(s), the Consignor hereby agrees, simultaneously with such payment, to assign to RMS any and all rights that the Consignor may have against such Buyers to the extent of such payment, whether at law, in equity, or under the Contractual Obligations. The Consignor agrees to execute any documents reasonably necessary to evidence this assignment, including with respect to the Consignor’s representations, warranties and indemnities as set forth in these Conditions.

11. Lot(s) Description:

11.1. The Consignor agrees to accept sole responsibility and liability for any representations made by RMS that accurately repeat the information supplied by the Consignor as to the character, features, condition, correctness, authenticity, or history of the Lot(s), and also to indemnify, defend, and hold RMS harmless from any claims that may be made with respect to any such representations.

11.2. The Consignor is required to review and approve any and all descriptions within 3 business days of receiving the description from RMS.

The Consignor agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold RMS harmless from any claims that may be made with respect to any Buyer alleged damages or liability, including but not limited to, travel expenses, repair expenses, and inspection expenses in any way related to actions taken in accordance with clause 12.

(clause 12 to 12.2.1 together “Twenty Day Window”)

13. Lot(s) Operation:

13.1. The Consignor warrants that the Lot(s) is in a safe, operable condition to be driven or moved by RMS’ employees or representatives.

20.6. If RMS contributes to the Hammer Price to meet a reserve, the reserve for the respective Lot(s) becomes the Hammer Price plus RMS’ contribution for purposes of commissions.

21. Insurance: The Consignor will be responsible for maintaining adequate property insurance on the Lot(s) at all times, and this insurance must be at least equal to the aggregate low pre-sale Online Only Auction estimate for the Lot(s), which in each case shall include insurance for damages to the Lot(s) and shall not be cancellable by the insurance company until after Ownership and Title have passed to the Buyer and the Buyer has taken possession of the Lot(s) from RMS.

23. Online Only Auction is “As Available” and “As Is.”:

23.1. All bids on a Lot(s) will be via RMS’ Online Only Auction.

23.2. Although RMS endeavors to provide a safe, secure, and functioning Online Only Auction, RMS cannot guarantee the continuous operation of or access to the Online Only Auction or a Bidder’s ability to connect and navigate the Online Only Auction.

23.3. Consignors agree that they are making use of the Online Only Auction at their own risk and that the Online Only Auction is being provided to the Consignors on an “AS AVAILABLE” and “AS IS” basis. Accordingly, to the extent permitted by applicable law, RMS excludes all expressed or implied warranties, terms, and conditions, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

24. Legal Action: Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Conditions or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of these Conditions to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in London, United Kingdom, before one arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures or pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude the parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

25. Choice of Law: These Conditions shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of England.

26. Bidding Restrictions: The Consignor hereby agrees not to bid on his/her/their Lot(s).

If, however, in violation of the foregoing, the Consignor (or his or her agent) bids on his/her/their Lot(s) and becomes the successful Bidder, the expenses, Inspection Report Fee, repair expenses, and Buyers’ Premium on the Hammer Price shall be payable by the Consignor. If the Consignor does not pay in accordance with this clause, his/her/their Lot(s) may be sold without reserve.

27. Anti-sniping: If a bid is placed within the final two minutes of bids being accepted on an individual lot, the Online Only Auction for that individual lot will be extended by an additional two minutes to prevent a Bidder from trying to place a high bid in the final moments of the Online Only Auction for that individual lot.

28. Lot’s Batteries: If RMS receives a Lot(s) with a dead battery, or shows signs of a draining battery, RMS will use commercially reasonable effort to install a new battery, and an automatic €200.00 (or the local currency equivalent) replacement fee will be charged to the Consignor. In the event a new or replacement battery costs more than €200.00 (or the local currency equivalent), RMS will charge the actual cost of battery plus €200.00, if the battery is replaceable by an RMS employee.

29. Antifreeze Is the Responsibility of the Consignor:

29.1. As the Consignor’s Lot(s) could be shipped to a location where below-freezing temperatures are a possibility, it is the Consignor’s responsibility to ensure that, within the last 6 months, they have winterized their Lot(s) for shipping in freezing temperatures. Winterizing one or more of the Lot(s) means that the Consignor has completely filled and properly mixed, at a minimum, –25°C-rated antifreeze into their Lot’s radiator.

29.2. If any damage occurs because the Consignor did not properly winterize their Lot(s), it will be the Consignor’s responsibility to cover the damages, and RMS may recoup these damages from the Consignor’s settlement. If it is found that the Consignor did not properly winterize their Lot(s), the associated costs with checking, filling, and disposing of the antifreeze will be recouped from the Consignor’s settlement; if the Lot(s) is not sold, the Consignor must pay RMS before the Consignor can retake possession of their Lot(s). If already settled, the Consignor must pay RMS directly.

36.2. It shall be the Consignor’s responsibility to take all necessary steps to ensure that the current Lot(s) registration number is reserved and that a new number is allocated prior to the Lot(s) being sold at the Online Only Auction, and if the Consignor does not do so, RMS shall not be responsible for any loss or damage whatsoever arising out of the sale of the Lot(s) or its registration number.

36.3. RMS may, at its discretion (without any assumption of responsibility or duty toward the Consignor or the Buyer), take such steps to facilitate the reservation or transfer of any particular registration number as it thinks fit in order to assist the Consignor or Buyer, but strictly on the condition that no claim attaches to RMS for taking any such steps, whether arising out of RMS’ negligence or any other cause whatsoever.

37. Lot(s) Under Temporary Import:

37.1. If a Lot(s) is brought into Europe from a country outside of Europe, the Lot(s) must be placed on either RMS’ bond in the United Kingdom or one of RMS’ nominated customs agencies for Paris, Monaco, or Italy.

37.4. Should the Consignor decide for the Lot(s) to remain in Europe when purchased, the Buyer is responsible to pay any and all import fees for the Lot(s).

38. Consumer Protection Rights: If the Consignor is a Business (defined below) AND the winning Bidder is a consumer AND the consumer has a right of withdrawal against the Consignor on the basis of EU consumer protection laws, the Consignor agrees that the Buyer has the automatic statutory right for 14 calendar days after the Buyer is responsible to take possession of the Lot(s) to rescind the sale of the Lot(s) for any reason. Nothing in this clause shall affect any Buyer(s) legal rights that shall apply against the Consignor as a result of any applicable laws.

38.1. The definition of Business for these Conditions is a natural person or legal entity in the business of selling automobiles and acting for purposes relating to such business (“Business”).

38.2. RMS reserves the right to make the reasonable determination as to whether a Consignor meets the definition of Business.
