1. 1.1.  These general terms and conditions (‘General Conditions’) govern all contracts between Kunsthandel Rob Kattenburg B.V. (‘Kattenburg’) and its clients (the ‘Client’) and all offers made by Kattenburg.

2. 1.2.  Any term that departs from these General Conditions is only binding if it is accepted by Kattenburg in writing.

3. 1.3.  The applicability of any general terms and conditions of the Client, a seller or a third party, is rejected by Kattenburg.

2. OFFERS AND CONTRACT FORMATION

1. 2.1.  All offers are subject to contract, unless expressly stipulated otherwise.

2. 2.2.  There is a binding contract as soon as Kattenburg has explicitly

   accepted an offer of the Client to buy or sell an artwork, or the Client

   has sent instructions that are accepted by Kattenburg.

3. 2.3.  Kattenburg is always entitled to require payment in advance of all or

   part of the contract price and/or costs for the performance of the contract, and is entitled to suspend performance of the contract up to such time as the advance payment is made.

4. 2.4.  Kattenburg is entitled to engage a third party to perform all or part of the work, subject to compliance by such third party with these General Conditions.

3. PURCHASE OF ARTWORKS BY KATTENBURG

1. 3.1.  Kattenburg at all times reserves the right to dissolve a purchase contract and/or to annul a purchase contract, partially or in full, in the event the artwork does not fully meet the reasonable expectations of Kattenburg and to hold the seller of the artwork fully liable for losses suffered by Kattenburg.

2. 3.2.  The seller guarantees that the information it supplies to Kattenburg concerning the artwork and storage conditions is full and accurate.

4. SALE OF ARTWORKS BY KATTENBURG

1. 4.1.  All artworks are sold as is described by Kattenburg in the contract and in the condition they are in at the time of sale. The Client accepts the qualities of the artwork as is, and as where known or reasonably should have been known at the time of the sale, taking into account that they are “second hand” goods of a certain age and have certain condition problems. All photographs, advertising and specifications provided by Kattenburg are issued for the sole purpose of giving an appropriate idea of the artwork but do not purport to be an exact or complete reproduction.

2. 4.2.  The nature of the artworks for sale by Kattenburg – amongst others: (maritime) old master paintings and drawings, etchings, engravings and globes, mostly from the 17th, 18th and 19th century – is such that they will rarely be in a perfect condition, as a new painting or drawing could be. Due to the (natural) aging process and the nature of the artworks, it is likely that the artworks show signs of wear and tear, damage, other imperfections, professional restorations and/or repair. Any statement, whether oral or in writing (including condition reports), as to the physical nature or condition of an artwork is given with appropriate care and to the best of knowledge and ability, in line with the commonly accepted state of the art at that time, but reasonably cannot amount to a full description of condition or a guarantee or warranty by Kattenburg, for the reasons given in paragraph 1 of this article. Kattenburg recommends that the Client seeks advice on all these matters from its own professional advisors before a sale is concluded. In addition, Kattenburg is not responsible for any subsequent deterioration of an artwork, however occasioned, after the sale.

3. 4.3.  Any statement of Kattenburg about any artwork, whether orally or in writing, concerning for example the authorship of an artwork, origin, date, age, genuineness, source, provenance, condition and previous descriptions of an artwork in literature, is prepared to the best of Kattenburg’s knowledge and ability, in line with the commonly accepted state of the art at that time, and is if possible based on the generally accepted opinion of scholars or experts and/or the leading authority on the respective artist on the date of the sale. Kattenburg has based its knowledge on these outside experts and cannot itself

   be held liable. These statements are statements of opinion only and shall never imply any sort of guarantee or warranty by Kattenburg.

The nature of the artworks for sale by Kattenburg is such that they are not always signed and dated or precisely datable. Therefore the mentioning of the (probable) producer of the artwork and/or a (possible) date on which the artwork was created are no guarantees whatsoever, but attributions only and possible dates of the creation of the artwork.

4.4. It lies within the nature of the artwork that the knowledge about and qualities of the artwork may change due to new insights of experts. Kattenburg recommends that the Client seeks independent advice on these matters from its own professional advisors. In any case, the artwork sold by Kattenburg meets and fulfils the contract when:

a. the written description of the artwork corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars or experts at the date of the sale; and/or

b. it appears that knowledge about the artwork at the date of sale is incorrect, and the correct identification of an artwork can be demonstrated only by means of either scientific process not yet generally accepted for use until after the date of the sale or a process which at the date of the sale was unreasonably expensive or likely to have caused damage to the artwork.

5. ARTWORKS CONSIGNED TO KATTENBURG

1. 5.1.  In the event an artwork is given to Kattenburg in consignment, the Client agrees that Kattenburg will act as an agent for the Client and will – on a best endeavours basis (“inspanningsverplichting”) –try to sell the artwork to a third party on behalf of the Client. Kattenburg acts in the name of the Client, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Any notice by Kattenburg concerning the result may not be interpreted as a warranty.

2. 5.2.  The Client warrants that it has full legal title to the artwork, and that the information it supplies to Kattenburg concerning the artwork and storage conditions is full and accurate.

3. 5.3.  The Client gives Kattenburg the unconditional power to sell of the artwork to a third party and to transfer legal title of the artwork to a third-party buyer. Kattenburg and the Client can agree on the guidelines for a sale to a third party (for example a minimum selling price), but these guidelines do not affect the unconditional power of Kattenburg to sell and transfer the artwork to a third-party buyer.

4. 5.4.  Kattenburg is only liable to remit the selling price to the Client after Kattenburg has received the selling price from the third-party buyer of the artwork in full. Kattenburg may deduct from this payment to the Client all outstanding fees and costs.

5. 5.5.  Kattenburg excludes all liability for claims of third parties, including but not limited to claims of third-party buyers. The Client indemnifies Kattenburg against any third-party claim resulting from the consignment agreement.

6. 5.6.  The Client can terminate the consignment agreement by written notice to Kattenburg. Kattenburg may terminate the consignment agreement at all times.

7. 5.7.  If the consignment agreement terminates before the services of Kattenburg have been completed, the Client must reimburse Kattenburg for the costs incurred and the work carried out by Kattenburg up to the point of termination. The Client is also liable to compensate Kattenburg for any loss, including loss of profits, and to indemnify Kattenburg against any third-party claim resulting from termination of the contract.

6. ADVICE, ART HISTORICAL RESEARCH AND PUBLICATIONS

1. 6.1.  To any service, advice, statement, reference or publication of Kattenburg, whether orally or in writing, whether or not supported by documentation and/or certification, including but not limited to art historical research, the assistance in the purchase/sale of artworks and advice regarding the restauration or valuation of artworks, articles 4.2, 4.3 and (the first sentence of) 4.4, and 5.2, 5.6 and 5.7 of these General Conditions apply.

2. 6.2.  Kattenburg performs this work to the best of its knowledge and abilities, and on a best endeavours basis (“inspanningsverplichting”). Any notice by Kattenburg concerning the result may not be interpreted as a warranty whatsoever.
