THE FELIPE TORO PINZÓN COLLECTION OF CLASSIC COLOMBIA
First Issue
—————— 1001 ——————
1001
ᔛᔛ
S
1859, 10c. orange and 20c. blue, one and two examples respectively, used during the first
days of issue with framed datestamp of Medellín, including the second day of issue,
2 September, 10 & 11 September (cert. Bortfeldt). Two adhesives with faint tiny thin.
A very difficult group, with only about ten stamps off cover used during the first month
of issue; the 2 of September represents the earliest recorded date applied on an
adhesive off cover, with this example being the title page illustration of Dieter Bortfeldt’s
“Colombia 150 Años del Primer sello Postal 1859-2009” handbook. Scott 4, 6. Photo

1859, 5c. blue and 10c. buff, both displaying large margins, tied to piece in manuscript
“Nare Sete/18-1859” applied at Nare on 18 September. Illustrated on page 4 of Dieter
Bortfeldt’s “Colombia 150 Años del Primer Sello Postal”. Only about ten stamps off
cover, bearing usages in the first month of issue, are known; this item is further
enhanced by exhibiting the combination of two different stamps. Scott 2, 4. Photo
€250
1859, 21⁄ 2 c. brown, plate proof in unissued colour with excellent margins, without gum.
Tiny corner crease at bottom right, clear away from the design. Scarce. Photo

1859, 21⁄ 2 c. yellow-green, vertical pair, excellent margins displaying frame lines on all four
sides, used on piece with “0” numeral cancels in blue. A pleasant and infrequent multiple.
Scott 1a. Photo
€100
1859, 21⁄ 2 c. olive-green, a well margined block of four, showing “Honda/Franca” ovals.
Corner crease not impinging on the design and very slight thin spots. This multiple is
particularly rare; apart from the block used on cover (ex Santa María, sold by Investphila
in September 2009), fewer than five used blocks of four are recorded in the first issue,
only the 5c. denomination is also known in used block of four. Scott 1b. Ex Hubbard.

1859, 21⁄ 2 c., a selection of 26 stamps with shades ranging from yellow-green to ochre, all
except one with good margins, comprising nine unused with and without gum, with the
rest being used, including better cancellations such as Naré and Manizales in manuscript,
and handstamps of Buenaventura, Pasto, Zipaquirá and Purificación. Some examples with
usual minor imperfections. Scott 1-1d. Photo

1859, 5c. blue, stone B, vertical tête-bêche pair, positions 30 / 41, very fresh displaying
an excellent colour which is infrequently rich, margins ranging from clear to wide, with
traces of original gum. Seven inverted positions occurred in stone B. Couple of tiny surface
scuffs on reverse, not detracting. A very rare variety, being even scarcer as disposed
vertically. Cert. R.P.S. (1960). Scott 2a. Ex Newbury and Amundsen. Photo
€1,500
The Largest Used 5c. Multiple Containing a Tête-Bêche
1008
1008
ᔛ
1859, 5c. blue, stone B, an extraordinary vertical strip of three from the top right of the
sheet, featuring tête-bêche at top, positions 11 / 22 / 33, showing the characteristic
shifted alignment of transfer in upper right corner of the sheet, with complete manuscript
cancel of Rionegro, which has caused few acidic ink erosions at bottom. (To be noted a
colourless “hairline” flaw in position 22, joining the “D” and “G” of “Confed.” &
“Granadina”). Tête-bêches are one of the most fascinating and sought after varieties in
classic philately; the 5c. tête-bêche of the first Colombian issue is much scarcer in
used than in unused condition, with only two pairs known and this, the largest used
multiple, the only recorded being larger than a pair. Accordingly, this item is of
great significance and is without doubt one of the great gems of classic Colombian
philately. Scott 2a. Photo

The “50” Centavos Transfer Error
One of the Scarcest Varieties in Classic Colombia
1009
1009
ᔛ
1859, 5c. grey blue, stone B, position 38, featuring the “50” centavos instead of “5”
transfer error, graced by wide balanced margins, being close but clear at base, cancelled
by Bogotá “eyeglass” handstamp. During the process of transfer, a cliché of the 20c.
denomination was erroneously placed in position 38 of the stone B sheet; the “2” of the “20”
was converted into a “5” but the “0” was not erased, resulting in this error. Illustrated on
page 29 of Dieter Bortfeldt’s “Colombia Philatelic Handbook and Catalogue”. Tiny
closed tear at right of little significance for this rarity. Only five examples of the “50”
centavos transfer error are recorded, being considered as one of the scarcest varieties
in classic Colombia, with most of the five having imperfections and this example being
one of the two finest considering the appearance from the front, both as a result of
exhibiting a clean and light strike of the cancellation which allows to leave the design very
clear. A significant rarity of Latin American stamps. Cert. Bortfeldt. Scott 2b. Photo

very well margined, showing 12 different cancellations including postmarks of

Buenaventura in red, very scarce “5” in blue, Honda in manuscript, etc. Only five stamps

is very scarce on classic stamps of Colombia), El Banco (very scarce), Espinal, Ricaurte

examples boasting ample to huge margins, both tied to piece by “Bogotá” oval
handstamp. Stamps lifted for examination and hinged back to place. A very important
franking as, to our knowledge, only six fragments and no covers exhibit the first
issue in conjunction with the second issue; such mixed frankings have been absent in
several of the most important collections ever formed of classic Colombia. Scott 4b, 10. Photo

“Call./Franca.” blue oval handstamp of Cali (featuring “Call” instead “Cali” in error).
Illustrated on page 55 of Dieter Bortfeldt’s “Colombia Philatelic Handbook and
Catalogue”. The only example known of a three-colour franking exhibiting the first
and second issues (only bi-colour combinations are also recorded); this piece possess an
even greater significance if we consider that only two further three-colour frankings on piece,
but only exhibiting first-issue stamps, are recorded. Scott 1b, 4, 11. Photo

uniform impression for this stamp, brilliant colour, clear margins all around. Small
hingeing clear spot where only part of the gum is missing, only mentioned for accuracy.
The rarest unused stamp of Colombian philately, of which only seven examples are
recorded, including the solely five copies known in private hands and the two
examples in the Tapling collection; this stamp possess the added significance of
boasting original gum. One of the gems of South American stamps. Some of the most
renowned collectors of Colombia had no unused examples of this stamp in their lifetime
collections; (the great collector of Latin America, Dr. Norman Hubbard, as well as the
renowned collectors Ferrary and Caspary, were even able to gather two examples, this being
an extraordinary achievement). A good opportunity either to obtain this extremely

postage for the single rate with 3c., both tied by Medellí duplex datestamp in blue, with
the vignette being also tied by “Cía. Colombiana de Navegación/Aérea/Medellín”

vignettes were surcharged “0-20” and “0-30” with typewriter, and were to be used on the
return flight of the “Medellín” from Medellín to Cartagena via Puerto Berrío. The plane, on
its flight up-river, run out of fuel near San Bartolomé on the way to Puerto Berrío, after 3
hours and 30 minutes, and it was destroyed overnight by a storm. The few covers carried were
consequently sent by surface mail for onward transmission. Taking into consideration the
scarcity of the typewritten surcharge, which was provisionally applied on very few
adhesives to be sued on the 20 December flight, this item constitutes one of the
important rarities of the early Colombian airmails. Cert. P.F. Gebauer 24. Ex

1924, May 23. Cover from Manizales to Cali (part of addressee’s name cut out), bearing
1923 10c. and 20c., upfranked for national postage with 3c. on 4c., all tied by “Servicio
Postal Aéreo Scadta/Manizales” in red, with two-line “Primer Vuelo/MedellínManizales-Cali” cachet in blue at left. The “Liadca” company (Líneas Aéreas del Cauca)
was founded in 1924, being subsidized by the Colombian Government and Scadta, and had
two Fokker CII airplanes. The opening flight had been arranged for early May 1924, but
after various survey flights, it did not take place until the 23 of the same month, this
explaining why the datestamp in this cover is dated 30 April. Unfortunately the plane
chrashed during take-off; the cover offered here had probably been prepared for the return
flight to Cali, but it is not certain if it was carried, as both planes crashed within short time,
thus leading to the end of the airline’s service and causing that the line was never opened.
Some soiling or rust of no importance for this rarity. Also including a 1923 30c. on small
fragment with “Servicio de Transportes Aéreos/Cali” double circle without date with
inserted “20 May 1924” date, both in blue. According to Felipe Toro Pinzón, the only
cover recorded with this cachet. One of the most significant internal airmail covers of this
period. Scott C39, C41, C42. Photo

1559-1767, a very interesting assembly comprising 24 letters and documents, mostly
featuring items originating from the XVIth and XVIIth centuries, including few
interesting origins/destinations from/to small localities, remarkable mandatory “su

letter dated 1560 at Vélez (founded in 1539) “en esta ciudad de velez en este nuevo
rreyno de granada de las yndias...por esta presente carta.(...) quatro piezas de esclabos se
me fueron y ausentaron estando en la billa de mompós...(sic)”. Written documents/letters
in the XVIth century are true rarities, with this impressive group containing six items; as a
matter of fact, paper was then very scarce and, at the end of that century, only less than 3,000

ser peor en todo, política y religiosamente (...). Ahora confiesan muchos desagradecidos
que la administración Mosquera fué de las mejores. (...) Me han obligado a obedecer las
leyes anticanónicas”. The sender complains to General Mosquera probably trying to

In the case of shipping lots abroad, the Swiss VAT will not be charged. VAT and other charges are subject to the regulation of each country
and are on the responsibility of the buyer.
In caso di spedizione di merce all’estero l’IVA svizzera non è addebitata. L’IVA e gli eventuali dazi a cui la merce sarà sottoposta nel paese in
cui viene esportata sono invece a totale carico dell’acquirente.
The above mentioned shipping charges are valid only up to 500 gr. Above 500 gr., for bulky parcels charges will be calculated individually.
In the absence of other instructions of the customer, we will ship the lots by postal mail within Switzerland and abroad with Fedex.
I costi di spedizione sopraindicati sono applicati per un peso fino a 500 gr. Oltre i 500 gr. e per spedizioni voluminose verranno presi accordi
particolari. In assenza di diverse istruzioni del cliente, spediremo via Posta all’interno della Svizzera e tramite Fedex all’estero.
Insurance charges are calculated as a percentage of the hammer price including charges and commissions.
Le spese assicurative sono calcolate in percentuale sul prezzo di aggiudicazione commissioni e spese incluse.
Collecting lots at the sale
Purchasers who decide to collect their lots at Spink Switzerland’s office have to pay swiss VAT. VAT will be refunded by sending us the export
document cancelled by the Swiss customs.
Ritiro della merce da parte del cliente
In caso di ritiro della merce da parte del cliente in asta o presso i nostri uffici, l’IVA svizzera sarà addebitata in fattura e successivamente rimborsata al
ricevimento del documento di esportazione timbrato dalla dogana svizzera.

reason of any damage and/or restoration work of any kind;

SPINK’S ROLE AS AGENT
2.1
2.2
3
All sales undertaken by us either at auction or privately are undertaken
either as agent on behalf of the Seller or from time to time, as principal
if we are the owner of the Lot. Please note that even if we are acting as
agent on behalf of the Seller rather than as principal, we may have a
financial interest in the Lot.
The contract for the sale of the Lot will be between you and the Seller.
BEFORE THE SALE
3.1
Examination of goods
You are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which you
are interested, before the auction takes place. Condition reports are
usually available on request. We provide no guarantee to you other
than in relation to Forgeries, as set out in clause 5.10 of these Terms
and Conditions.
3.2
Catalogue descriptions
3.2.1 Statements by us in the catalogue or condition report, or made
orally or in writing elsewhere, regarding the authorship, origin,
date, age, size, medium, attribution, genuineness, provenance,
condition or estimated selling price of any Lot are merely
statements of opinion, and are not to be relied on as statements of
definitive fact. Catalogue and web illustrations are for guidance
only, and should not be relied on either to determine the tone or
colour of any item. No lot shall be rejected on the grounds of
inaccurate reproduction. No lot illustrated in the catalogue shall be
rejected on the grounds of cancellation, centring, margins,
perforation or other characteristics apparent from the illustration.
Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement
that this price is either the price at which the Lot will sell or its value
for any other purpose.
3.2.2 Many items are of an age or nature which precludes their being
in perfect condition and some descriptions in the catalogue or given
by way of condition report make reference to damage and/or
restoration. We provide this information for guidance only and the
absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from
defects or restoration nor does a reference to particular defects
imply the absence of any others.
3.2.3 Other than as set out in clause 5.10, and in the absence of fraud,
neither the Seller nor we, nor any of our employees or agents, are
responsible for the correctness of any statement as to the
authorship, origin, date, age, attribution, genuineness or
provenance of any Lot nor for any other errors of description or for
any faults or defects in any Lot. Every person interested should
exercise and rely on his own judgment as to such matters.
3.3
Your Responsibility
You are responsible for satisfying yourself as to the condition of the
goods and the matters referred to in the catalogue description.
3.4
Extensions – Stamps only
3.4.1 If you wish to obtain an expert opinion or Certificate of
Authenticity on any Lot (other than a mixed Lot or Lot containing
undescribed stamps) you must notify us in writing not less than
forty-eight hours before the time fixed for the commencement of
the first session of the sale. If accepted by us, such request shall have
the same effect as notice of an intention to question the
genuineness or description of the Lot for the purposes of clause
5.10 (Refund in the case of Forgery) of these Terms and
Conditions and the provisions of clause 5.10 (Refund in the case of
Forgery) shall apply accordingly.
3.4.2 Notice of a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of
Authenticity must give the reason why such opinion is required and
specify the identity of your proposed expert which will be subject
to agreement by us. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to
refuse a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity
including (without limitation) where the proposed expert is not
known to us.
3.4.3 If we accept a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of
Authenticity we will submit the Lot to the Expert Committee. You
acknowledge and accept that the length of time taken by an Expert
Committee to reach an opinion will vary depending on the
circumstances and in any event is beyond our control.
3.4.4 We will not accept a request for an extension on account of
condition. Any Lot described in the catalogue as having faults or
defects may not be returned even if an expert opinion or Certificate
of Authenticity cites other faults or defects not included in the
catalogue description, other than in the case of a Forgery.
3.4.5 Should Spink accept a request for an extension under the
foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the fact may be stated by the
Auctioneer from the rostrum prior to the sale of the Lot.
3.4.6 It should be noted that any stamp accompanied by a Certificate
of Authenticity is sold on the basis of that Certificate only and not
on the basis of any other description or warranty as to authenticity.
No request for an extension will be accepted on such a stamp and
the return of such a stamp will not be accepted.
3.4.7 If you receive any correspondence from the Expert Committee
in relation to the Lot, including but not limited to a Certificate of
Authenticity, you must provide us with copies of such
correspondence no later than 7 days after you receive such
correspondence.
3.4.8 If the expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity demonstrate
the validity of the complaint, all the expenses for the appraisals will
be paid by us. If the complaint is invalid, you shall pay for all the
appraiser expenses.
4
4.9
AT THE SALE
4.1
Refusal of admission
Our sales usually take place on our own premises or premises over
which we have control for the sale, and we have the right, exercisable
at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or
attendance at an auction.
4.2
Registration before bidding
You must complete and sign a registration form and provide
identification before making a bid at auction. Please be aware that we
usually require buyers to undergo a credit check.
If you have not bid successfully with Spink in the past, or you are
registering with us for the first time, we reserve the right to require a
deposit of up to 50% of the amount you intend to spend. Such deposit
will be deducted from your invoice should you be successful. If you are
unsuccessful at auction, your deposit will be returned by the same
means it was paid to Spink.
4.10 Bidding by Spink
4.10.1 The Spink Group reserves the right to bid on and purchase
Lots as principal.
Some lots may be designated, prior to the auction, as “Premium Lots”,
which means a deposit may be required before placing a bid on the
item for sale. Information will be posted on our website in such an
event.
4.3
4.11 The Auctioneer’s Discretion
The auctioneer has the right at his absolute discretion to refuse any bid,
to advance the bidding in such manner as he may decide, to withdraw
or divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots and, in the case of
error or dispute, to put an item up for bidding again.
Bidding as Principal
When making a bid (whether such bids are made in person or by
way of telephone bids operated by Spink, commission or online or
email bids), you will be deemed to be acting as principal and will be
accepting personal liability, unless it has been agreed in writing, at the
time of registration, that you are acting as agent on behalf of a third
party buyer acceptable to us.
4.4
4.5
Telephone Bids
If you make arrangements with us not less than 24 hours before the
sale, we shall use reasonable endeavours to contact you to enable you
to participate in bidding by telephone, but in no circumstances will we
be liable to either the Seller or you as a result of failure to do so.
4.7
Currency Converter
At some auctions, a currency converter will be operated, based on the
one month forward rates of exchange quoted to us by BSI SA or any
other appropriate rate determined by us, at opening on the date of the
auction. Bidding will take place in a currency determined by us. The
currency converter is not always reliable, and errors may occur beyond
our control either in the accuracy of the Lot number displayed on the
converter, or the foreign currency equivalent of bids made in the
official currency of the auction. We shall not be liable to you for any
loss suffered as a result of you following the currency converter.
4.8
4.13 After Sale Arrangements
If you enter into any private sale agreements for any Lot with the Seller
within 60 days of the auction, we, as exclusive agents of the Seller
reserve the right to charge you the applicable Buyer’s Premium in
accordance with these Terms and Conditions, and the Seller a
commission in accordance with the terms of the Seller’s agreement.
4.14 Return of Lot
In the event that you have received a Lot and wish to return the Lot
you must notify us in writing within 7 days of receipt of the Lot, stating
the reason for the return. The Lot must then be returned to us within
14 days of receipt, in the same condition as at the auction date. Any
such request is subject to our sole discretion.
5
AFTER THE AUCTION
5.1
Buyer’s Premium and other charges
In addition to the Hammer Price, you must pay us the Buyer’s
Premium at a rate of 20% of the final Hammer Price of each Lot. A fee
of 3% on the hammer price total for using the-saleroom.com and a
surcharge for paying by credit card.
5.2
Value Added Tax
In the event of sale with merchandise delivered in Switzerland that is
not exported, VAT in the amount of 8% (eight percent) of the sale price
will be charged, with this is construed as the price of sale plus the
commission envisaged at point 5.1 and any insurance and transport
costs to be charged if the purchased material is shipped. If the buyer
wishes to pick up the merchandise and handle the customs formalities
for export himself, the VAT will be charged and reimbursed to the
buyer upon submission of the legal documentation certifying export.
5.3
Payment
5.3.1 You must provide us with your full name and permanent address
and, if so requested, details of the bank from which any payments
to us will be made. You must pay the full amount due (comprising
the Hammer Price, the Buyer’s Premium, the insurance and
shipping cost if due and any applicable VAT) within seven days after
the date of the sale.
On-line Bidding
We offer internet services as a convenience to our clients. We will not
be responsible for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the
internet, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by (i) a
loss of internet connection by either party for whatever reason; (ii) a
breakdown or problems with the online bidding software and/or (iii)
a breakdown or problems with your internet connection, computer or
system. Execution of on-line internet bids is a free service undertaken
subject to other commitments at the time of the auction and we do not
accept liability for failing to execute an online internet bid or for errors
or omissions in connection with this activity. Buyers who acquire lots
on the-saleroom.com will have a fee of 3% on the hammer price added
to their invoice for using this facility.
4.6
4.12 Successful Bid
Subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the striking of his hammer marks
the acceptance of the highest bid, and the conclusion of a contract for
sale between you and the Seller.
Commission Bids
If you give us instructions to bid on your behalf, by using the form
provided in our catalogues or via our website, we shall use reasonable
endeavours to do so, provided these instructions are received not later
than 24 hours before the auction. If we receive commission bids on a
particular Lot for identical amounts, and at auction these bids are the
highest bids for the Lot, it will be sold to the person whose bid was
received first. Commission bids are undertaken subject to other
commitments at the time of the sale, and the conduct of the auction
may be such that we are unable to bid as requested. Since this is
undertaken as a free service to prospective buyers on the terms stated,
we cannot accept liability for failure to make a commission bid. You
should therefore always attend personally if you wish to be certain of
bidding.
Video images
At some auctions there will be a video screen. Mistakes may occur in its
operation, and we cannot be liable to you regarding either the
correspondence of the image to the Lot being sold or the quality of the
image as a reproduction of the original.
Bidding Increments
Bidding opens at the starting price (or below the low estimate), in
absence of higher commission bids, and advances in the following
order although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during
the course of the auction. The normal bidding increments are:
€50 to €100

released the Lot to you.
5.3.3 Payment has to be made in the sale currency (unless specific
agreements) by one of the following methods:
II(i) Direct bank transfer to our account details of which are set
out on the invoice. All bank charges shall be met by you.

invoice is enclosed with your payment.
(iii) By Visa, Mastercard or American Express. A charge of 3.00%
will be applied for Visa and Mastercard and of 3.50% for
American Express.
5.4
Collection of Purchases
5.4.1 Unless specifically agreed to the contrary, we shall retain lots
purchased until all amounts due to us, or to the Spink Group, have
been paid in full. Buyers will be required to pay for their lots when
they wish to take possession of the same, which must be within 7
days of the date of the sale, unless prior arrangements have been
made with Spink. Without prior agreement, lots will not be released
until cleared funds are received with regard to payments made by
cheque.
5.4.2 Unless we notify you to the contrary, items retained by us will
be covered, in accordance with our policy which is available for
inspection at our offices, from the date of sale for a period of seven
days or until the time of collection, whichever is sooner. After seven
days or from the time of collection, whichever is the earlier, the Lot
will be entirely at your risk.
5.4.3 Our policy will not cover and we are unable to accept
responsibility for damage caused by woodworm, changes in
atmospheric conditions or acts of terrorism.
5.5
Notification
We are not able to notify successful bidders by telephone. While
invoices are sent out by mail after the auction we do not accept
responsibility for notifying you of the result of your bid. You are
requested to contact us by telephone or in person as soon as possible
after the auction to obtain details of the outcome of your bids to avoid
incurring charges for late payment.
5.6
Packing and handling
5.6.1 We shall use all reasonable endeavours to take care when
handling and packing a purchased Lot but remind you that after
seven days or from the time of collection, whichever is sooner, the
Lot is entirely at your risk. In case of shipment, our postage and
insurance charges are set out at the back of the catalogue.
5.6.2 It is the responsibility of the Buyer to be aware of any Import
Duties that may be incurred upon importation to the final
destination. Spink will not accept return of any package in order to
avoid these duties. The onus is also on the Buyer to be aware of any
Customs import restrictions that prohibit the importation of
certain collectibles. Spink will not accept return of the Lot(s) under
these circumstances. Spink will not accept responsibility for Lot(s)
seized or destroyed by Customs.
5.7
Recommended packers and shippers
If required our shipping department may arrange shipment as your
agent. Although we may suggest carriers if specifically requested, our
suggestions are made on the basis of our general experience of such
parties in the past and we are not responsible to any person to whom
we have made a recommendation for the acts or omissions of the third
parties concerned.
5.8
5.8.2.3 when reselling the Lot, place a notice in our catalogue
stating that you successfully purchased the Lot at auction but
have subsequently failed to pay the Hammer Price of the Lot; or
5.8.2.4 take any other appropriate action as we deem fit.
5.8.3 Where purchases are not collected within seven days after the
sale, whether or not payment has been made, you will be
required to pay a storage charge of Chf 2.- per item per day plus
any additional handling cost that may apply. You will not be
entitled to collect the Lot until all outstanding charges are met,
together with payment of all other amounts due to us.
5.9 Uses of default information
If you fail to make payment for a Lot in accordance with these Terms and
Conditions:
5.9.1 we reserve the right to refuse you the right to make bids for any
future auction irrespective of whether previous defaults have
been settled; and
5.9.2 you consent to us disclosing details of such default to other
auctioneers and live bidding platforms, which will include your
name, address, nature of the default and the date of the default.
Auctioneers or live bidding platforms who receive details of the
default may rely on such information when deciding whether to
enter into a transaction with you in the future.
5.10 Refund in the case of Forgery
5.10.1 A sale will be cancelled, and the amount paid refunded to you
if a Lot (other than a miscellaneous item not described in the
catalogue) sold by us proves to have been a Forgery. We shall not
however be obliged to refund any amounts if either (a) the
catalogue description or saleroom notice at the auction date
corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars or
experts at that time, or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of
opinions, or (b) it can be demonstrated that the Lot is a Forgery
only by means of either a scientific process not generally accepted
for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which at
the date of the auction was unreasonably expensive or impracticable
or likely to have caused damage to the Lot. Furthermore, you
should note that this refund can be obtained only if the following
conditions are met:
5.10.1.1 you must notify us in writing, within seven days of the
receipt of the Lot(s), that in your view the Lot concerned is a
Forgery;
5.10.1.2 you must then return the item to us within fourteen days
from receipt of the Lot(s), in the same condition as at the
auction date; and
5.10.1.3 as soon as possible following return of the Lot, you must
produce evidence satisfactory to us that the Lot is a Forgery and
that you are able to transfer good title to us, free from any third
party claims.
Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchases
5.8.1 If you fail to make payment within seven days of your stipulated
payment date set out in your invoice, we shall be entitled to exercise
one or more of the following rights or remedies:
5.8.1.1 to charge interest at the rate of 1% per month compound
interest, calculated on a daily basis, from the date the full
amount is due, in addition to a penalty in the amount of 5% of
the sale price;
5.10.1.4 you must provide to us all evidence obtained by you that
a Lot is a Forgery no later than 7 days after you receive such
evidence.
5.10.2 In no circumstances shall we be required to pay you any more
than the amount paid by you for the Lot concerned and you shall
have no claim for interest.
5.10.3 The benefit of this guarantee is not capable of being
transferred, and is solely for the benefit of the person to whom the
original invoice was made out by us in respect of the Lot when sold
and who, since the sale, has remained the owner of the Lot without
disposing of any interest in it to any third party.
5.10.4 We shall be entitled to rely on any scientific or other process to
establish that the Lot is not a Forgery, whether or not such process
was used or in use at the date of the auction.
5.8.1.2 to set off against any amounts which the Spink Group may
owe you in any other transaction the outstanding amount
remaining unpaid by you;
5.8.1.3 we may keep hold of all or some of your Lots or other
property in the possession of the Spink Group until you have
paid all the amounts you owe us or the Spink Group, even if the
unpaid amounts do not relate to those Lots or other property.
Following fourteen days’ notice to you of the amount
outstanding and remaining unpaid, the Spink Group shall have
the right to arrange the sale of such Lots or other property. We
shall apply the proceeds in discharge of the amount outstanding
to us or the Spink Group, and pay any balance to you;
5.8.1.4 where several amounts are owed by you to the Spink Group
in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to
discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular
transaction, whether or not you so direct;
5.8.1.5 to reject at any future auction any bids made by you or on
your behalf or obtain a deposit from you before accepting any
bids.
5.8.2 If you fail to make payment within thirty-five days of your
stipulated payment date set out in your invoice, we shall in
addition be entitled:
5.8.2.1 to cancel the sale of the Lot or any other item sold to you
at the same or any other auction;
5.8.2.2 to arrange a resale of the Lot, publicly or privately, and, if
this results in a lower price being obtained, claim the balance
from you together with all reasonable costs including a 20%
seller’s commission, expenses, damages, legal fees, commissions
and premiums of whatever kind associated with both sales or
otherwise, incurred in connection with your failure to make
payment;

RUOLO DI SPINK COME AGENTE
2.1
2.2
3
In tutte le vendite da noi condotte sia attraverso asta che a trattativa
privata, noi agiamo come agenti per conto del Venditore o, a volte,
come conferenti in proprio se siamo proprietari del Lotto. Sia che
agiamo come agenti per conto del Venditore che come conferenti in
proprio, possiamo avere un interesse finanziario nel Lotto.
Il contratto relativo alla vendita del Lotto sarà tra Voi ed il Venditore.
PRIMA DELL’ASTA
3.1
3.2
Esame dei beni
Vi preghiamo di esaminare personalmente tutti i beni a cui è
interessato, prima che l’asta abbia luogo. Reports sullo stato del pezzo
sono generalmente disponibili su richiesta. Noi non forniamo alcuna
garanzia se non in relazione a Falsi così come stabilito all’articolo 5.10
di queste Condizioni generali di vendita.
Descrizioni del catalogo
3.2.1 Le affermazioni da noi riportate nel catalogo o nei nostri reports,
o fatte verbalmente o per iscritto in altri contesti, riguardanti
l’autore, l’origine, la data, l’età, dimensione, materiale,
attribuzione, genuinità, provenienza, condizione o prezzo di
vendita stimato di ogni Lotto, sono meramente affermazioni di
opinione sulle quali non deve essere fatto affidamento come
affermazioni derivanti da fatti certi e definitivi. Le illustrazioni del
catalogo e sul web fungono solo da guida e su di esse non si
dovrebbe fare affidamento per determinare la tonalità od il colore
di ogni Lotto. Nessun Lotto può essere rifiutato per motivi di
riproduzione imprecisa. Nessun Lotto illustrato nel catalogo può
essere rifiutato per motivi di annullo, centratura, margini,
perforazione o altre caratteristiche risultanti dall’illustrazione. Con
riferimento alla stima del prezzo di vendita, non si dovrebbe fare
affidamento su di essa in quanto affermazione che questo prezzo
sarà quello a cui il Lotto sarà venduto o che questo sia il suo
effettivo valore per ogni altro scopo.
3.2.2 Molti pezzi sono di un’età o natura tali da pregiudicare che
possano essere in perfette condizioni e alcune descrizioni nel
catalogo o fornite attraverso i nostri reports, indicano la presenza di
danni e/o restauri. Noi forniamo queste informazioni solo come
indicazione e la loro assenza non implica che un pezzo sia esente da
difetti o restauri, nè l’indicazione di particolari difetti implica
l’assenza di taluni altri.
3.2.3 A parte quanto previsto all’articolo 5.10, ed in assenza di frode,
nè il Venditore, nè noi, nè alcuno dei nostri impiegati od agenti
sono responsabili della correttezza di qualsiasi dichiarazione relativa
all’autore, origine, data, età, attribuzione, genuinità o provenienza
di ogni Lotto, nè per qualsiasi altro errore di descrizione o per
qualsiasi errore o difetto presente in qualsiasi Lotto. Ogni persona
interessata è tenuta a esercitare e fare affidamento sul proprio
giudizio su tali questioni.
3.3
Vostra responsabilità
È vostra responsabilità ritenervi soddisfatti in merito alle condizioni dei
beni ed agli argomenti di cui alle descrizioni nel catalogo.
3.4
Extensions – solo per i francobolli
3.4.1 Se desiderate ottenere un parere peritale od un Certificato di
Autenticità di qualsiasi Lotto (a parte Lotti misti o Lotti contenenti
francobolli non descritti), dovete richiederlo per iscritto non più
tardi di quarantotto ore prima dell’orario fissato per l’inizio della
prima sessione d’asta. Se dai noi accettata, tale richiesta avrà lo
stesso effetto di formale notifica dell’intenzione di mettere in
discussione la genuinità o la descrizione del Lotto per gli scopi
previsti dall’articolo 5.10 (Rimborso in caso di Falso) delle presenti
Condizioni generali di vendita e di conseguenza le previsioni
dell’articolo 5.10 troveranno applicazione.
3.4.2 La notifica di richiesta di un parere peritale o di un Certificato di
Autenticità deve contenere il motivo di tale richiesta e specificare
l’indicazione del perito da Voi proposto che sarà soggetto al nostro
accordo. Ci riserviamo il diritto, a nostra discrezione, di rifiutare la
richiesta di parere peritale o di Certificato di Autenticità, incluso
(senza limitazione) il caso in cui l’esperto proposto non sia da noi
conosciuto.
3.4.3 Se accettiamo la richiesta di parere peritale o di Certificato di
Autenticità, sottoporremo il Lotto al Comitato di esperti. Voi
riconoscete ed accettate che il tempo necessario al Comitato di
esperti per emettere un parere, varierà in dipendenza delle
specifiche circostanze ed in ogni caso sarà fuori dal nostro
controllo.
3.4.4 Non accettiamo richieste di extension sulle condizioni del Lotto.
Ogni Lotto descritto nel catalogo come avente errori o difetti, non
può essere ritornato anche se un parere peritale od un Certificato di
Autenticità indichi la presenza di altri errori o difetti non inclusi
nella descrizione del catalogo, a parte il caso di Falso.
3.4.5 Se Spink dovesse accettare la richiesta di extension sulla base
delle precedenti previsioni di questo paragrafo, questo fatto potrà
essere dichiarato dal Banditore durante l’asta prima della vendita
del Lotto.
3.4.6 Va considerato che ogni francobollo accompagnato da un
Certificato di Autenticità è venduto sulla base solamente di detto
certificato e non sulla base di qualsiasi altra descrizione o garanzia
relativa all’autenticità. Non saranno accettate richieste di extension
su tale francobollo ed il reso del medesimo non sarà accettato.
3.4.7 In caso riceviate qualsiasi comunicazione da parte del Comitato
di esperti in relazione al Lotto, sia che riguardi o meno il Certificato
di Autenticità, dovrete fornirci copia entro 7 giorni dalla dalla loro
ricezione.
3.4.8 Se il parere peritale o del Certificato di Autenticità dovessero
dimostrare la fondatezza della richiesta di extension, tutte le spese
per ottenere i medesimi saranno a nostro carico. In caso contrario,
saranno totalmente a carico vostro.

IN ASTA
4.1
Rifiuto di ammissione
Le nostre vendite si svolgono di solito in nostri locali o locali sui quali
abbiamo il controllo in relazione alla vendita e quindi abbiamo il
diritto, esercitabile a nostra completa discrezione, di rifiutare
l’ammissione ai locali o la partecipazione ad un’asta.
4.2
Registrazione
Voi dovete compilare e firmare un modulo di registrazione e consentire
la vostra identificazione prima di fare offerte in asta. Vi informiamo che
usualmente richiediamo agli acquirenti di accettare una verifica del loro
merito creditizio.
Se non avete offerto con successo con Spink in passato, o vi state
registrando con noi per la prima volta, ci riserviamo il diritto di
richiedere un deposito fino al 50% della somma che intendete spendere.
Tale deposito verrà detratto dalla fattura in caso di aggiudicazione. In
caso di mancata aggiudicazione in asta, il deposito vi verrà restituito
nello stesso modo in cui è stato pagato a Spink.
Alcuni Lotti possono essere designati prima dell’asta come “Premium
Lots”, che significa che un deposito può essere richiesto prima di
accettare un’offerta per quei Lotti. Informazioni in merito saranno
annunciate sul nostro sito.
4.3

4.10
4.11
Offerte in proprio
Nel momento in cui fate offerte (sia che tali offerte siano fatte di
persona, attraverso collegamento telefonico gestito da Spink,
online o attraverso invio postale o via email), Voi sarete considerati
come se steste agendo in proprio e accetterete quindi di essere
personalmente responsabili, a meno che sia stato accordato per iscritto
al momento della registrazione che state agendo per conto di terzi
acquirenti che siano da noi accettati.
Offerte su commissione
Se Voi ci date istruzioni di offrire per vostro conto, attraverso la
compilazione del modulo contenuto nei nostri cataloghi o attraverso il
nostro sito web, noi faremo tutto quanto ragionevolmente possibile per
ottemperare alle vostre istruzioni, posto che esse ci pervengano non più
tardi di 24 ore prima dell’asta. Se riceviamo offerte su commissione su
un particolare Lotto per ammontari identici ed in asta tali offerte sono
le più alte per quel Lotto, il medesimo sarà aggiudicato alla persona la
cui offerta è stata ricevuta per prima. Le offerte su commissione sono
da noi prese in carico unitamente agli altri impegni che dobbiamo
svolgere durante la vendita, e la conduzione dell’asta può essere tale da
non consentirci di fare le offerte come richiesto. Poichè questo è un
servizio che noi offriamo gratis a potenziali acquirenti secondo le
clausole stabilite, non possiamo accettare alcuna responsabilità per
mancanze nell’esecuzione di una offerta su commissione. Dovreste
pertanto sempre partecipare personalmente all’asta se desiderate avere
certezza delle offerte fatte.
4.5
Offerte via internet
Un’ulteriore comodità che offriamo ai nostri clienti è quella di poter
fare offerte attraverso internet. Noi non saremo responsabili per errori
o mancanze nell’esecuzione di offerte fatte attraverso internet, incluso,
senza limitazioni, errori o mancanze causate da (i) interruzioni della
connessione internet da qualsivoglia delle parti per qualsivoglia ragione;
(ii) un malfunzionamento o problemi del software per fare le offerte
online e/o (iii) malfunzionamento o problemi della vostra connessione
internet, computer o sistema operativo L’esecuzione di offerte
attraverso internet è un servizio che noi offriamo gratis e che
prendiamo in carico unitamente agli altri impegni da noi svolti durante
la vendita e non accettiamo alcuna responsabilità per la mancata
esecuzione delle offerte online o per errori o omissioni connesse a
questa attività. In caso di acquisto attraverso la piattaforma thesaleroom.com, verrà addebitata in fattura una commissione aggiuntiva
del 3% del prezzo di aggiudicazione.
4.6
Offerte telefoniche
Se Voi prenderete accordi con noi non più tardi di 24 ore prima
dell’asta, faremo tutto quanto ragionevolmente possibile per
contattarvi al fine di consentirvi di partecipare all’asta in collegamento
telefonico, ma in nessuna circostanza saremo responsabili nei vostri
confronti o del Venditore nel caso non si riesca per qualsiasi ragione a
consentirvi di offrire via telefono.
4.7
Convertitore di valuta
In alcune aste sarà operativo un convertitore di valute basato sui tassi di
cambio a noi quotati da BSI Sa o su qualsiasi altro appropriato tasso da
noi determinato all’apertura della giornata di svolgimento dell’asta. Le
offerte avverrano nella valuta da noi stabilita. Il convertitore di valuta
può non essere sempre affidabile ed errori possono accadere fuori dal
nostro controllo sia con riguardo alla correttezza del numero di Lotto
che appare sul convertitore che della valuta estera equivalente alla valuta
in cui l’asta viene battuta. Noi non saremo responsabili nei vostri
confronti per perdite subite per aver seguito il convertitore di valuta.
4.8
Immagini video
In alcune aste sarà presente uno schermo video. Errori possono
accadere in connessione a ciò e noi non saremo responsabili nei vostri
confronti sia con riferimento alla corrispondenza dell’immagine del
Lotto in corso di aggiudicazione durante l’asta che per la qualità
dell’immagine in quanto riproduzione dell’originale.

piu’ bassa), in assenza di offerte su commissione, ed avanza

Lotti in proprio.
Discrezione del banditore
Il banditore ha il diritto a sua assoluta discrezione di rifiutare qualsiasi
offerta, di far avanzare le offerte nel modo che ritiene opportuno, di
ritirare o dividere qualsiasi Lotto, di raggruppare due o più Lotti e, in
caso di errore o controversia, di rimettere nuovamente qualsiasi Lotto
in offerta.

segna l’accettazione dell’offerta più alta, e la conclusione di un
contratto di vendita tra Voi ed il Venditore.
Accordi post vendita
Se Voi raggiungete accordi privati per la vendita di qualsiasi Lotto con
il Venditore entro 60 giorni dalla data dell’asta, noi, come agenti
esclusivi del Venditore, ci riserviamo il diritto di addebitarvi la relativa
Commissione di acquisto in accordo con le presenti Condizioni
generali di vendita e di addebitare al Venditore una commissione
secondo i termini dell’accordo con il Venditore medesimo.
Reso di un Lotto
Nel caso in cui abbiate ricevuto un Lotto e desideriate ritornarlo, Voi
dovete notificarcelo per iscritto entro sette giorni dal ricevimento,
dichiarando il motivo del reso. Il Lotto deve essere ritornato a noi entro
14 giorni dal ricevimento da parte vostra, nelle stesse condizioni
esistenti alla data dell’asta. Qualsiasi richiesta di questo tipo è soggetta
alla nostra esclusiva discrezione.
DOPO L’ASTA
5.1 Commissione di acquisto ed altre spese
In aggiunta al prezzo di aggiudicazione, Voi dovrete pagarci la
Commissione di acquisto stabilita nella misura del 20% del prezzo di
aggiudicazione di ogni lotto. In caso di acquisto attraverso la

ulteriore commissione verrà addebitata in caso di pagamento con carta

5.2 Imposta sul valore aggiunto (IVA)

maggiorato della commissione di cui al punto 5.1 e di eventuali spese
di assicurazione e trasporto da addebitare in caso di spedizione del
materiale acquistato. Nel caso l’acquirente intenda ritirare la merce e

presentazione della documentazione legale di avvenuta esportazione.

giorni dalla data dell’asta.

somme a noi dovute non ci saranno state integralmente pagate,
anche nel caso in cui noi vi avessimo già consegnato il Lotto.

di accordi particolari) attraverso uno dei seguenti metodi:

acquistati fino a che gli ammontari a noi dovuti, o dovuti al gruppo
Spink, siano stati integralmente pagati. Gli acquirenti saranno
tenuti a pagare i loro Lotti nel momento in cui desiderano entrare
in possesso dei medesimi, pagamento che dovrà avvenire entro 7

data dell’asta o fino al momento del ritiro se fosse precedente.
Dopo sette giorni o dal momento del ritiro, se precedente, il Lotto

accettare alcuna responsabilità per danni causati da tarli,
cambiamenti atmosferici o atti di terrorismo.
Comunicazioni
Non siamo in grado di comunicare l’avvenuta aggiudicazione agli
aggiudicatari dei Lotti. Le fatture saranno inviate via email dopo l’asta
e non accettiamo responsabilità per comunicazioni inerenti alle vostre
offerte. Vi preghiamo di contattarci telefonicamente o di persona
appena dopo l’asta per conoscere il risultato delle vostre offerte al fine
di evitare addebiti per pagamenti in ritardo.
Imballo e movimentazione
5.6.1 Faremo tutto quanto ragionevolmente possibile per avere cura
del Lotto acquistato nel momento dell’imballo e della
movimentazione ma ricordate che dopo sette giorni dall’asta o,
dalla data del ritiro se precedente, il Lotto è interamente a vostro
rischio. In caso di spedizione, i nostri addebiti per le spese postali
ed assicurative sono indicati alla fine del catalogo.
5.6.2 È responsabilità dell’acquirente conoscere qualsiasi dazio/tassa
all’importazione che potrebbero essere richiesti al momento
dell’importazione nel paese di destinazione. Spink non accetterà il
reso di qualsiasi collo per evitare il pagamento di tale dazio/tassa.
È inoltre onere dell’acquirente conoscere qualsiasi restrizione
doganale all’importazione che proibisca l’importazione di certi
articoli da collezione. Spink non accetterà il reso di Lotti per questo
motivo. Spink non accetterà alcuna responsabilità per Lotti
sequestrati o distrutti dalla Dogana.
Confezionatori e spedizionieri raccomandati
Se richiesto, il nostro ufficio spedizioni può organizzare la spedizione
come suo agente. Sebbene noi siamo in grado di suggerire
spedizionieri, se specificamente richiesto, i nostri suggerimenti sono
forniti sulla base della nostra esperienza generale con essi nel passato e
non siamo responsabili nei confronti di alcuno al quale abbiamo fatto
una raccomandazione per atti od omissioni delle controparti in
questione.
Rimedi per mancato pagamento o mancato ritiro
5.8.1 Se Voi venite meno al pagamento entro sette gioni dalla data di
pagamento indicata in fattura, noi saremo autorizzati ad esercitare
uno o più dei seguenti diritti o rimedi:
5.8.1.1 addebitare interessi al tasso composto dell’1% al mese,
calcolati su base giornaliera dalla data in cui il pagamento è
dovuto, in aggiunta ad una penale del 5% del prezzo di vendita;
5.8.1.2 rivalersi su qualsiasi somma di cui il gruppo Spink può
essere creditore nei vostri confronti per qualsiasi altra
operazione, fino a concorrenza dell’ammontare da Voi non
pagato;
5.8.1.3 trattenere tutti o alcuni Lotti di vostra proprietà o altri beni
in possesso del gruppo Spink fino al pagamento da parte vostra
di tutte le somme dovute a noi o al gruppo Spink, anche se la
somma non pagata non riguarda quei Lotti o quei beni.
Trascorsi quattordici giorni dalla nostra comunicazione di
esistenza di una somma non pagata, il gruppo Spink avrà il
diritto di organizzare la vendita di tali Lotti o beni. Noi
compenseremo i ricavi rivenienti da detta vendita fino a
concorrenza della somma dovuta al gruppo Spink e vi
pagheremo l’eventuale saldo;
5.8.1.4 nel caso in cui più somme siano da voi dovute al gruppo
Spink con riferimento ad operazioni diverse, compensare
qualsiasi ammontare pagato con qualsiasi ammontare da voi
dovuto sia o meno riferito direttamente ad una specifica
operazione;
5.8.1.5 rifiutare in qualsiasi asta futura qualsiasi offerta fatta da Voi
o per vostro conto, od ottenere un deposito da parte vostra
prima di accettare qualsiasi offerta.
5.8.2 Se Voi venite meno al pagamento entro trentacinque giorni dalla
data di pagamento indicata in fattura, noi saremo inoltre
autorizzati a:
5.8.2.1 cancellare la vendita del Lotto o di qualsiasi altro articolo a
Voi venduto nella stessa od in qualsiasi altra asta;
5.8.2.2 organizzare una rivendita del Lotto, in asta o a trattativa
privata, e se il prezzo realizzato fosse inferiore a quello a suo
tempo ottenuto, richiedere il pagamento del saldo da parte
vostra unitamente a tutti i ragionevoli costi compreso una
commissione del Venditore del 20%, spese varie, rimborso danni,
spese legali, commissioni e premi di qualsiasi natura connessi con
entrambe le vendite o altrimenti occorsi in conseguenza del
mancato pagamento;
5.8.2.3 al momento della rivendita del Lotto, menzionare nel
catalogo che il lotto era stato a Voi aggiudicato in asta e ma non
successivamente pagato; o
5.8.2.4 intraprendere ogni altra appropriata azione che riterremo
adatta.
5.8.3 Nel caso in cui gli acquisti non siano ritirati entro sette giorni
dalla data della vendita, sia che sia stato effettuato o meno il
pagamento, Voi sarete tenuti al pagamento di un costo di
magazzinaggio giornaliero pari a Chf 2.- per articolo oltre a
qualsiasi altro costo di movimentazione ove applicabile. Non
sarete autorizzati a ritirare il Lotto fino a che tutti gli addebiti in
sospeso siano stati onorati unitamente al pagamento di tutte le
altre somme a noi dovute.
5.9 In caso di inadempienza
Se Voi vi rendete inadempienti nel pagamento di un Lotto secondo
quanto stabilito dalle presenti Condizioni di vendita:
5.9.1 ci riserviamo il diritto di inibirla dal poter fare offerte nelle nostre
future aste indipendentemente dal fatto che precedenti
inadempienze siano state sanate; e
5.9.2 Voi acconsentite che noi comunichiamo i dettagli di tali
inadempienze ad altre case d’asta e piattaforme di aste online,
incluso il Vostro nome, indirizzo, natura e data
dell’inadempienza. Le case d’asta o le piattaforme di aste online
che ricevono queste informazioni, possono fare affidamento sulle
medesime per decidere se entrare in relazione con Voi.
5.10 Rimborso in caso di Falso
5.10.1 Una vendita sarà cancellata e la somma pagata vi verrà
rimborsata se un Lotto (a parte i Lotti misti non descritti nel
catalogo), da noi venduto venga provato essere un Falso. Tuttavia
non saremo obbligati a rimborsare alcuna somma se (a) la
descrizione del catalogo o la comunicazione fatta in sala nel giorno
dell’asta corrispondeva all’opinione generalmente accettata da
studiosi o esperti in quel momento o correttamente indicava che
c’era un conflitto di opinioni, o (b) può essere dimostrato che il
Lotto è un Falso solo attraverso, sia un procedimento scientifico
non generalmente accettato per l’uso fino a dopo la pubblicazione
del catalogo, sia attraverso un procedimento che alla data dell’asta
fosse irragionevolmente costoso o impraticabile o che potesse
causare danno al Lotto. Inoltre dovreste tenere in considerazione
che il rimborso può essere ottenuto solo se sono rispettate le
seguenti condizioni:
5.10.1.1 Voi dovete comunicarci per iscritto entro sette giorni dal
ricevimento del Lotto/i che secondo Voi il Lotto in questione è
un falso;
5.10.1.2 Voi dovete dunque ritornarci l’articolo entro quattordici
giorni dal ricevimento del Lotto/I nelle stesse condizioni
esistenti alla data dell’asta; e
5.10.1.3 Il beneficio di questa garanzia non può essere trasferito ed
è di esclusiva pertinenza della persona a cui la fattura originale è
stata emessa relativamente al Lotto venduto e che, dal momento
della vendita, è rimasto il proprietario del Lotto senza essersi
liberato di alcun interesse in esso in favore di terze parti.
5.10.1.4 Voi dovrete fornirci tutte le prove ottenute che il Lotto è
un Falso entro 7 giorni dalla loro ricezione.
5.10.2 In nessuna circostanza saremo richiesti di pagare in vostro
favore più di quanto da Voi pagato per il Lotto in questione e non
potrete esercitare alcuna pretesa di pagamento di interessi.
5.10.3 Il beneficio di questa garanzia non può essere trasferito ed è di
esclusiva pertinenza della persona a cui la fattura originale è stata
emessa relativamente al Lotto venduto e che, dal momento della
vendita, è rimasto il proprietario del Lotto senza essersi liberato di
alcun interesse in esso in favore di terze parti.
5.10.4 Noi saremo autorizzati a fare affidamento su qualsiasi
procedimento scientifico o meno per stabilire che il Lotto non è un
Falso, sia che tale processo fosse o meno in uso alla data dell’asta.

10 DISPOSIZIONI SUPPLEMENTARI
Le disposizioni che seguono del presente articolo 9 si applicheranno solo se
Voi agite per scopi legati al vostro business:
10.1 Limitazione della responsabilità
Secondo quanto previsto all’articolo 6, noi non saremo responsabili, se
in torto (inclusa negligenza o violazione di obblighi di legge o di
contratto, falsa testimonianza o diversi) per qualsiasi:
10.1.1 perdita di profitto, perdita di business, diminuzione
dell’avviamento o perdite similari, perdita di risparmi previsti,
perdita di beni, perdita di contratti, perdita di mancato utilizzo,
perdita per alterazione di dati o informazioni; o
10.1.2 qualsiasi particolare, indiretta, conseguenziale o pura perdita
economica, costi, danni, addebiti o spese..
10.2 Separabilità
Se qualsiasi parte di queste Condizioni generali di vendita venisse
trovata da qualsivoglia tribunale non valida, illegale o inapplicabile, tale
parte può essere non tenuta in conto ed il resto delle condizioni
continuare ad essere valide ed applicabili nella misura massima
consentita dalla legge.
10.3 Forza maggiore
Noi non avremo alcuna responsabilità nei vostri confronti se ci viene
impedito o subiamo ritardi nell’eseguire i nostri adempimenti in base
alle presenti Condizioni generali di vendita o nel portare avanti il nostro
business a causa di atti, eventi, omissioni, o incidenti fuori dal nostro
ragionevole controllo, includendo (senza limitazioni) scioperi, serrate o
altre vertenze aziendali (sia che coinvolgano nostro personale o
personale di terzi), mancanza di servizi di pubblica utilità o di rete di
trasporto, eventi straordinari, imprevedibili ed inevitabili, dovuti a
cause naturali, guerra, rivolta, sommosse civili, danno volontario,
rispetto di qualsiasi legge od ordine governativo, norma, regolamento
o direttiva, incidente, guasti di impianti o macchinari, incendio,

10.4 Rinuncia
10.4.1 La rinuncia di qualsiasi diritto previsto dalle presenti
Condizioni generali di vendita è efficace solo se fatto per iscritto e
si applica solo alle circostanze per cui è concessa. Nessuna
mancanza o ritardo da ciascuna parte nell’esercizio di qualsiasi
diritto o rimedio previsto dalle presenti Condizioni generali di
vendita o stabilito dalla legge, costituirà una rinuncia di quel (o di
qualsiasi altro) diritto o rimedio, nè preclude o limiterà il suo
successivo esercizio. Nessun singolo o parziale esercizio di tale
diritto o rimedio precluderà o limiterà il successivo esercizio di quel
(o di qualsiasi altro) diritto o rimedio.
10.4.2 A meno che non sia specificamente diversamente previsto, i
diritti risultanti dalle presenti Condizioni generali di vendita sono
cumulativi e non escludono i diritti previsti dalla legge.
10.5 Legge e giurisdizione
La vendita così come i rapporti giuridici che ne derivano, sono soggetti
alla legge svizzera. Se controversie o azioni legali dovessero nascere in
relazione alla vendita od ai rapporti giuridici da essa derivanti, esse
saranno rimesse alla competenza esclusiva del Foro di Lugano. Spink
Switzerland Sa si riserva il diritto di procedere contro il debitore al
domicilio di quest’ultimo: in tal caso è sempre applicabile il diritto
svizzero.
10.6 Importazione ed esportazione di oggetti antichi
Le importazioni ed esportazioni di oggetti antichi soggiacciono
alle normative vigenti negli Stati contraenti della Convenzione
Unesco del 1970 (www.admin.ch/ch/i/rs/i4/0.444.1.it.pdf),
che per la Svizzera ha trovato applicazione nella legge federale
sul trasferimento internazionale dei beni culturali LTBC
(www.admin.ch/ch/i/rs/4/444.1.it.pdf) e nella relativa ordinanza
OTBC (www.admin.ch/ch/i/rs/4/444.11.it.pdf). Spink Switzerland
