15.1 Valuation services

On the basis of the Agreement, the Company provides the service of valuation of an item presented in a photograph submitted by the Client. The service consists in the electronic estimation of a value of the submitted item (the highest and the lowest level) that can be achieved, according to the Company, if the item is to be sold without any reservations, on the open market in an international auction with a renowned auctioneer, after carrying out appropriate marketing activities and on the basis of your guarantees and assurances presented below (”Valuation”), at the time of the Valuation.

The Valuation does not include costs associated with sales, commissions and taxes (including capital gains tax, customs duty, excise duty, value added tax or sales tax) which may be applicable or become payable in connection with the sale or transport of an item. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Valuation is based on a preliminary examination of the delivered photograph of an item, without physical examination, cleaning, renovation, detailed examination or disassembly as well as without examination of the context in which the item is embedded, further testing or analysis. The valuation constitutes an opinion, not a fact.

The Company aims at preparing the Valuation within 2 working days, in Poland, from the submission of the request by the Client, provided that all information is submitted not later than at 12:00 a.m. on the working day or on the following day. In the event that the period of 2 working days is exceeded, the Client is not entitled to a refund.

15.2 Valuation

In the Valuation, the Company does not make any representations, warranties or assurances with respect to the origin, category, condition, date, age or authenticity of the item. In the Valuation, the Company makes no representations or warranties that the item will be sold in a private or public auction shortly after the Valuation or that it will subsequently reach the amount from the Valuation. In the Valuation, the Company does not guarantee or represent that the item being the subject of the Valuation is safe, efficient or suitable for the purpose for which it was intended.

The Valuation remains covered by the Company’s copyright and is prepared exclusively for the Client, and may not be used by any other person or disclosed to third parties (who are not Client’s professional advisers), or duplicated, or published in any form without the prior written consent of the Company. The Client shall indemnify and hold harmless, for the period of ten years, the Company, its affiliates, employees and agents against any and all liabilities and expenses incurred by the Client as a result of any breach by the Client of the foregoing obligation or as a result any third party claims relating to the Valuation.

The Valuation may not be used for any official or formal purposes, such as (in particular) court proceedings, insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, divorce proceedings, insurance purposes or any other such purpose. The Valuation is delivered on a specified date (date on which the Valuation is sent to the Client). The Client is entitled to a perpetual, non-transferable license to the Valuation, subject to the Company’s right to revoke or withdraw the Valuation.

The values may also vary due to external circumstances, such as (in particular) changes in prevailing market conditions concerning the item or changes in scientific research relating to it. In addition, the initial nature of the valuation may mean that the identification, categorisation and value of the item may change as a result of further analysis or research conducted by experts at a later stage, regardless of whether they are internal or external with respect to the Company. Unless otherwise stated in writing, the Valuation reflects only the estimated value, the characteristics (visible in the submitted photograph) of the item and does not reflect the circumstances surrounding the item (such as, in particular, the origin or place of the item in a wider collection, or the existence of several similar items available for sale at the same time).

15.4 Price of the Valuation

The price will be in accordance with the price list available on the Company’s website at the time of your request for the valuation of your item. The price includes VAT. The Company reserves the right to change prices at any time and to make special offers and discounts at different times.
