The absence of any reference to the condition of a Vehicle does not imply that the Vehicle is free from faults, imperfections and/or restoration. Illustrations in catalogues or brochures are for identification purposes only. JOHN PYE & SONS will not be held responsible for any damage or defect that has not been notified to the Buyer. 3.2 Buyers must satisfy themselves prior to sale as to the condition of each Vehicle and should exercise and rely on their own judgement as to whether the Vehicle accords with its description. Prospective Buyers bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by JOHN PYE & SONS as to genuineness, origin, date, age, Vehicle starting capability or condition involve matters of opinion. Neither JOHN PYE & SONS nor its employees or agents nor the Seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions. Neither JOHN PYE & SONS, its servants or agents will be responsible for errors of description or for the genuineness or authenticity of any Vehicle. 3.3 No warranty (written or oral) or other term (whether express or implied and whether implied by statute, common law, custom or otherwise) as to the age, description, suitability, fitness for purpose, satisfactory quality or roadworthiness of the Vehicle is given by JOHN PYE & SONS, its servants or agents or by any Seller to any Buyer in respect of any lot, and any express or implied conditions or warranties are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. For the avoidance of doubt, the Vehicles are not sold by sample. 5 3.4 Any reference to the age of a Vehicle in the lot description relating to it is intended to be a reference to the year of first registration of the Vehicle in the United Kingdom. 3.5 Except in respect of the Important Notes: 3.5.1 no oral or written representation made prior to or at the time of sale of any Vehicle shall be deemed to be a representation of fact. 3.5.2 No oral or written representations shall be deemed to be incorporated into the contract for sale nor to have induced any potential buyer to bid. 3.5.3 JOHN PYE & SONS undertakes no obligation or duty (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) in respect of the accuracy or completeness of any statement or representation made by JOHN PYE & SONS or on JOHN PYE & SONS’ behalf which is in any way descriptive of any Vehicle. 3.6 Buyers buy Vehicles where they lie and are wholly responsible to bring any necessary labour and equipment in order to remove their Vehicle(s) and shall comply with any directions which may be given by JOHN PYE & SONS as to the safe removal of the Vehicle(s) and in giving due care to other lots on the Premises and the Premises itself. 3.7 These Terms shall become binding on the Seller and Buyer respectively when: 3.7.1 The Seller’s Vehicle is accepted by JOHN PYE & SONS to be considered for auction; and 3.7.2 The Buyer completes Registration. 3.8 JOHN PYE & SONS has the right to revise and amend these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in market conditions affecting its business, changes in technology, changes in payment methods, changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements and changes in various systems’ capabilities.

All Vehicles are strictly Sold as Seen with no grading or guarantees and can be second-hand, salvage, repossessed and/or seized. 3.10 Any estimate of likely value provided in respect of a Vehicle is solely an expression of JOHN PYE & SONS’ opinion (made on behalf of the Seller); such estimates are not an estimate of the actual value of a Vehicle. Such estimates do not take into account any 6 VAT or Buyer Premium payable. Estimates should not be relied on as an indication of the likely selling price or actual value of a Vehicle. 3.11 Private treaty sales made under these Terms are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation. 4 R ISK AND T ITLE 4.1 Title to the Vehicle shall not pass to the Buyer until the Hammer Price, the Buyer’s Premium and any applicable VAT have been received in full and in cleared funds by JOHN PYE & SONS. Until title passes, and subject to clause 7.1 below, JOHN PYE & SONS reserves the right to dispose of the Vehicle in accordance with clause 2.8 above. 4.2 From the delivery of a Vehicle to the Premises until the Hammer Price in respect of a Vehicle is reached or the Vehicle is removed by the Seller (including any time during which the Vehicle is being tested or demonstrated on the auction premises, or elsewhere) the Vehicle is at the risk of the Seller, and neither JOHN PYE & SONS nor its servants or agents will be responsible for any loss or damage whether caused by negligence or otherwise. 4.3 Notwithstanding clause 4.1 above, a Vehicle is deemed sold from the time when the Hammer Price is reached and the Vehicle is at the risk of the Buyer from that point onwards. 5 C ONDUCT OF THE A UCTION 5.1 Without prejudice to any other rights set out in these Terms, JOHN PYE & SONS has absolute discretion without giving any reason to refuse any bid, to withdraw any Vehicle before the hammer falls, to divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots, or to withdraw any lot and/or Vehicle from the auction.

JOHN PYE & SONS is not a party to the contract of sale but acts as the Seller’s agent only and is not liable for any breach thereof by either the Buyer or the Seller. 5.5 It shall be a term of the contract of sale that the Buyer accepts the bodywork, the tyres, the exhaust, the battery and the upholstery of the Vehicle with all damage and defects (if any) which an inspection of the interior and the exterior ought reasonably to reveal. 5.6 Immediately after the achievement of the Hammer Price the terms of clause 6 below shall apply. 5.7 If a potential buyer is unsuccessful in achieving the Hammer Price, they may recover their Deposit from JOHN PYE & SONS or, they may request in writing that JOHN PYE & SONS keep the Deposit against future auctions in which the potential buyer may participate and make them a registered ‘regular customer’ of JOHN PYE & SONS provided they produce valid identification when requested. 5.8 Any disputes in relation to the bidding or following the attainment of the Hammer Price shall be referred to JOHN PYE & SONS for decision. In resolving disputes JOHN PYE & SONS shall have absolute discretion to cancel the contract of sale and/or to re- auction the Vehicle (which is the subject of any dispute) either during the same or a subsequent auction or to offer the Vehicle for sale by private treaty. In all cases, JOHN PYE & SONS’ is under no obligation to justify or explain its decision in respect of any such dispute and such decision will be final. 5.9 In the event that JOHN PYE & SONS exercises its discretion to cancel the contract referred to at clause 5.3 above, neither the original Buyer nor the Seller shall be entitled to rely on the original contract of sale for any purpose whatsoever save that the Buyer shall be entitled to the return of any deposit or other money which he may have paid under the original contract. 5.10 Every bidder shall be deemed to act as principal unless there is in force in respect of each and every applicable auction or sale a written acknowledgment by JOHN PYE & SONS that he acts as agent on behalf of a named principal. 5.11 JOHN PYE & SONS shall not in any circumstances be obliged to announce any reserve price. 5.12 All potential Buyers and Sellers must produce valid photo identification upon request. JOHN PYE & SONS reserves the right to refuse any potential sellers and/or buyers that fail to produce such identification the opportunity to participate in any auction or sale. 8 5.13 Persons attend and participate in auctions at their own risk and neither the Seller nor JOHN PYE & SONS will be individually or collectively responsible for any loss or damage whatsoever occasioned to any person or property who or which may be present on the auction site or Premises for any purpose whatsoever. 5.14 Where JOHN PYE & SONS conducts a sale on behalf of a Seller who is either a receiver, administrator or liquidator of a limited company or a trustee in bankruptcy: 5.14.1The Seller and JOHN PYE & SONS on their behalf only sell whatsoever right, title or interest the company or bankrupt may have in any lot; 5.14.2In the event of a third party proving to have a superior title or right to custody or possession of any Vehicle JOHN PYE & SONS may rescind the contract of sale and upon return of any Deposit and/or Hammer Price to the Buyer, neither the Seller nor JOHN PYE & SONS shall be under any further liability to the Buyer. 5.15 JOHN PYE & SONS shall have the right, at its discretion, to refuse admission to the Premises and/or attendance at and/or participation in (whether on a temporary or permanent basis) the auctions by any person at any time. 5.16 The Important Notes will be made available to potential buyers on the Website, in the relevant catalogue, on request, and will be on display at the Premises. 6 PRICE AND PAYMENT 6.1 Immediately following the achievement of the Hammer Price, the Buyer shall follow the appropriate process as notified to the Buyer by JOHN PYE & SONS and pay the Hammer Price (plus VAT where relevant), and the Buyer Premium (plus VAT where applicable).

All queries in relation to methods of payment must be made to JOHN PYE & SONS’ accounts department.

The original Buyer will remain liable to JOHN PYE & SONS and/or the Seller subsequent to the re-sale, save where the proceeds of the re-sale have discharged such liabilities arising out of the first auction. 8.5 For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in these Terms limits JOHN PYE & SONS’ liability, nor, where applicable, the liability of the Buyer or Seller for: 8.5.1 death or personal injury caused by negligence; or 8.5.2 fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or 8.5.3 any breach of the obligations implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982; or 8.5.4 losses for which it is prohibited by section 7 of the Consumer Protection Act 1987 to limit liability; or 8.5.5 any other matter for which it would be illegal or unlawful to exclude or attempt to exclude liability. 9 DATA P ROTECTION 9.1 Personal data will be processed as set out in the John Pye Privacy Policy which can be viewed at www.johnpye.co.uk/privacy-policy/, as updated, amended or replaced by John Pye from time to time. 10 G ENERAL 10.1 If any court or competent authority decides that any of the provisions of these Terms are invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, the term will, to that extent only, be severed from the remaining terms, which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law. 10.2 If, or to the extent that, any of these Terms (as amended from time to time in writing by JOHN PYE & SONS) are Terms to which any of the provisions of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 or the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 or any subsequent modification or re-enactment thereof apply then such Terms shall be enforceable only to the extent permitted by those Acts or their subsequent modification or re- enactment and these Terms shall be construed accordingly. 10.3 If at any time while these Terms are in force JOHN PYE & SONS fails to insist that the Seller and/or Buyer perform their obligations under these Terms, or if JOHN PYE & SONS does not exercise any of its rights or remedies under these Terms, that will not mean that JOHN PYE & SONS has waived such rights or remedies and will not mean 14 that the Seller and/or Buyer does not have to comply with those obligations. If JOHN PYE & SONS does waive a default by the Seller and/or Buyer that will not mean that JOHN PYE & SONS will automatically waive any subsequent default by the Seller and/or Buyer. No waiver by JOHN PYE & SONS of any of these Terms shall be effective unless JOHN PYE & SONS expressly says that it is a waiver and JOHN PYE & SONS tell the Buyer and Seller so in writing. 10.4 A person who is not party to these Terms shall not have any rights under or in connection with them under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. 10.5 Lots in our auctions that have been physically de-branded/de-badged are to remain de-branded or de-badged.
