He will be obliged to pay the auction price of the lot in cash, plus 27% for costs, including VAT only if VAT applies to the margin in accordance with Article 58 §4 of the Belgian VAT Code.. In addition, a resale right of 4% will be levied on original works of art by living artists or artists who died less than 70 years ago, and this for auctions equal to or exceeding 2000 euros. The obligation to pay these fees remains in force even if the claim is made after the sale and removal of the lot, without any time limit.

4. The lots are displayed publicly before the sale, so that each amateur can see for himself the quality and defects of the lots and examine them. The information appearing in the catalogues, advertisements, brochures or any other written or oral mention emanating from LVDV, must be treated as simple information which does not engage its responsibility. It does not guarantee the accuracy of any statement regarding the author, origin, date, age, attribution, provenance, weight, dimensions, denomination or physical condition of the material of the lot. The absence of any mention of a restoration, accident or incident does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or free of restoration, wear, crazing, lining, missing, defects or other imperfections present, past or repaired. Conversely, the mention of some defect does not imply the absence of other defects. Re-covering, parquetry or lining are considered as a conservatory measure and not as a defect. The colours of the works in the catalogue may differ due to the printing process. Batch works are not collated.
The buyer is irrefutably presumed to have been able to appreciate in person the good sold during the exhibition, even when he participates in the auction by a remote communication means or by leaving a written order. Lots may not be viewed or examined during the sale. No complaints or claims for defects in merchandise will be accepted after the award of the contract.

LVDV takes the utmost care with this service and declines all responsibility in the event of technical or communication problems, errors or omissions in the execution of orders, as well as in the event of their non-execution. In case of equal bids, the oral bid has priority over the written bid and the digital bid. Written tenders are processed in the order in which they are received order of arrival; in the event of equal bids, the first bid received has priority over the others.
