Descriptions, estimates, opinions and other information relating to particular lots, products or Services may be subject to separate transaction-specific terms.
Nothing published on the Website constitutes a contractual offer unless expressly stated otherwise.
You are responsible for using appropriate security measures and maintaining suitable protection for your devices, systems, data and Account information.

Access may be interrupted or restricted due to maintenance, updates, technical failures, telecommunications failures, hosting failures, power failures, cyber incidents, legal restrictions, regulatory requirements, force majeure events or other circumstances outside TCC’s reasonable control.
TCC may temporarily suspend or restrict access to all or part of the Website where reasonably necessary for operational, security, compliance or maintenance purposes.

TCC may send information about products, auctions, events and Services where permitted by applicable law. You may withdraw your consent or unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe option provided or contacting [email protected].
Service, transactional, security and regulatory communications are not marketing communications and may still be sent where necessary.
16. Miscellaneous
A failure or delay by TCC in exercising a right or remedy does not constitute a waiver of that right or remedy.
These Terms constitute the agreement between you and TCC relating to your general use of the Website. They do not replace any separate auction terms, terms of sale, consignment terms, advance terms, invoice terms or other agreement applying to a particular transaction or Service.
Each company within the TCC Group is a separate legal entity. Except where expressly agreed otherwise, no company within the TCC Group is responsible for the contractual obligations or liabilities of another company within the TCC Group.
Except where expressly stated otherwise, no person other than you and TCC shall have any right to enforce these Terms under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. Where such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part shall be treated as deleted. The remaining provisions will continue in effect.
TCC may transfer its rights or obligations under these Terms to another company within the TCC Group or in connection with a reorganisation, transfer or sale of all or part of the relevant business, provided that doing so does not reduce any mandatory rights available to you.
You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without TCC’s prior written consent.
These Website Terms and any non-contractual dispute arising from or connected with them are governed by the laws of England and Wales, unless the specific terms governing a particular Service or transaction expressly provide otherwise.
Nothing in these Website Terms deprives a Consumer of any mandatory rights or protections available under the laws of the country in which that Consumer habitually resides.
Subject to those mandatory Consumer rights and any different jurisdiction provision contained in the applicable transaction-specific terms, the courts of England and Wales shall have jurisdiction in relation to disputes arising from these Website Terms.

We require service providers that process Personal Data on our behalf to use it only for authorised purposes, protect it appropriately and comply with applicable contractual and legal requirements.
10. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
The TCC Group operates in the United Kingdom, Greece and Singapore and works with service providers in multiple countries.
Your Personal Data may therefore be transferred to, stored in or accessed from a country outside the jurisdiction in which it was originally collected.
Where international-transfer restrictions apply, we use an appropriate lawful mechanism, which may include:
- an adequacy decision or recognised destination;
- the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses;
- the United Kingdom International Data Transfer Agreement;
- the United Kingdom Addendum to the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses;
- a binding contractual arrangement requiring a comparable standard of protection;
- another approved transfer mechanism; or
- a permitted statutory exception.
We may also conduct transfer-risk or data-protection assessments and implement supplementary technical, organisational or contractual protections where required.
You may contact us for further information about the safeguards applicable to a particular transfer.
11. DATA SECURITY
We maintain technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect Personal Data against:
- unauthorised access;
- unlawful use;
- accidental loss;
- alteration;
- disclosure;
- destruction; and
- other forms of misuse.
Safeguards may include:
- access controls;
- role-based permissions;
- authentication measures;
- encryption;
- secure backups;
- logging and monitoring;
- staff training;
- confidentiality obligations;
- provider due diligence; and
- incident-response procedures.
Access to Personal Data is limited to personnel and providers with an appropriate need to use it.
Where required by applicable law, we will notify affected individuals and the relevant authority of a Personal Data breach.
No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through the internet.
12. DATA RETENTION
We retain Personal Data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to satisfy applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, compliance, insurance and reporting requirements.
Our usual retention periods include:
- Account and customer-relationship records: for the duration of the relationship and normally up to six years afterwards;
- auction, purchase, sale, consignment, payment and contractual records: normally six years after completion of the relevant transaction or relationship;
- AML, KYC, KYB and related compliance records: normally five years after the end of the relevant business relationship or the last applicable transaction, or longer where required or permitted by law;
- tax, accounting and corporate records: for the period required under the law applicable to the relevant TCC company;
- marketing information: until you withdraw consent, unsubscribe or the information is no longer required, with limited suppression information retained thereafter;
- Website and security logs: for a period proportionate to operational and security requirements;
- complaints and dispute records: until the matter is resolved and for the applicable limitation period afterwards; and
- consignment, provenance, authenticity, title, catalogue and cultural-property information: for longer periods where reasonably necessary to preserve an audit trail, address future ownership or authenticity issues, meet regulatory requirements or protect legal rights.
We may retain information for longer where:
- a complaint, investigation or legal claim exists or is reasonably anticipated;
- a regulator, court or authority requires retention;
- legal or compliance requirements apply; or
- preservation is necessary to prevent or investigate fraud or other unlawful conduct.
We may anonymise Personal Data so that it can no longer identify an individual. Anonymised information may be retained indefinitely.
13. YOUR RIGHTS
Your rights depend on the law applying to the relevant processing.
13.1 Rights under UK and European data-protection law
Where the UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies, you may have the right to:
- request access to your Personal Data;

- request erasure of Personal Data;
- request restriction of processing;
- object to processing based on legitimate interests;
- object at any time to direct marketing;
- request transfer of certain Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format;
- withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent;
- obtain information about applicable international-transfer safeguards;
- challenge certain decisions made solely by automated means; and
- complain to an applicable supervisory authority.
These rights are not absolute. A request may be refused or limited where an exemption or other lawful reason applies.
13.2 Rights under Singapore law
Where Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act applies, you may have rights to:
- request access to Personal Data held about you and information about how it has been used or disclosed;
- request correction of inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data;

To exercise a right, contact us at [email protected].
We may request information to:
- confirm your identity;

- locate the relevant information; and
- protect Personal Data from unauthorised disclosure.
We will respond within the period required by applicable law.
No fee is normally charged. We may charge a reasonable fee or refuse a request where permitted by law, including where a request is manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. It may also mean that we cannot continue to provide a particular Service.
14. YOUR DUTY TO KEEP INFORMATION CURRENT
It is important that the Personal Data we hold is accurate and current.
Please update your Account or contact us if your name, address, contact details, ownership, authority, payment information or other relevant information changes.
15. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND PLATFORMS
The Website may link to websites, applications, auction platforms or services operated by third parties.
TCC does not control those third parties and is not responsible for their privacy practices.
Where you use a third-party bidding, payment, social-media or other platform, that platform may process Personal Data under its own privacy policy in addition to any processing carried out by TCC.
You should review the privacy information of each third party you use.
16. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We keep this Privacy Policy under review and may update it to reflect:
- changes in law or regulatory guidance;
- changes to the TCC Group;
- new or amended Services;
- changes to our technology or providers; or
- changes to how we use Personal Data.
The updated version will be published on the Website with a revised “Last updated” date.
Where a change is material, we may provide additional notice where reasonably practicable.

3. ELIGIBILITY, REGISTRATION AND BIDDING CONDUCT
You must be aged 18 or over and legally capable of entering into a binding contract to register for or participate in an Auction.
You must provide complete, accurate and current registration information.
TCC may require:
(a) proof of identity and address;
(b) bank, trade or auction references;
(c) payment-card or deposit information;
(d) source-of-funds or source-of-wealth information;
(e) corporate, director or beneficial-ownership information;
(f) sanctions, PEP, fraud or other compliance checks; and
(g) any additional information reasonably required to assess your registration or bidding request.
Registration on the Website or a Third-Party Platform does not automatically entitle you to bid. Your registration must be approved for the relevant Auction.
TCC may impose, reduce or increase a bidding limit, require a deposit, refuse registration or decline to approve bidding where reasonably necessary for credit, security, compliance, operational or risk-management purposes.
Where you bid on behalf of another person, you must disclose that fact and provide evidence of your authority if requested. Unless TCC expressly agrees otherwise in writing, you will remain personally responsible for Bids submitted through your Account and for ensuring that the Buyer complies with the applicable Terms of Sale.
You must not:
(a) submit a Bid without a genuine intention and reasonable ability to complete the purchase;
(b) use multiple Accounts to manipulate or interfere with bidding;
(c) coordinate Bids with another person for the purpose of suppressing, inflating or otherwise manipulating the price of a Lot;
(d) submit a Bid using false, misleading or unauthorised information;
(e) knowingly interfere with the Website, a Third-Party Platform or the orderly conduct of an Auction; or
(f) engage in fraudulent, collusive or otherwise unlawful bidding conduct.
You must not permit another person to use your Account unless TCC has approved that person to bid as your authorised representative.
You are responsible for Bids submitted through your Account unless you notified TCC of unauthorised access before the Bid was accepted.
TCC may suspend an Account, reject a Bid, cancel a registration or refer a matter to an appropriate authority where it reasonably suspects fraud, collusion, market manipulation, unauthorised use or other unlawful conduct.
4. BIDS
A Bid constitutes an offer to purchase the relevant Lot at the stated amount, subject to these Auction Terms and the applicable Terms of Sale.
A Bid is not accepted merely because it has been entered, displayed, acknowledged or transmitted by the Website or a Third-Party Platform.
A Bid is effective only when it has been:
(a) received and recorded by the Auctioneer’s bidding system;
(b) accepted by the Auctioneer; and
(c) submitted before the Auctioneer announces that bidding on the Lot has closed.
The Auctioneer may refuse or disregard a Bid where:
(a) it was submitted by an unregistered or unapproved Bidder;
(b) it does not comply with the applicable bidding increment;
(c) it is submitted after bidding has closed;
(d) it exceeds an applicable bidding limit;
(e) the Auctioneer reasonably suspects an error, fraud, collusion, unlawful conduct or unauthorised use;
(f) required compliance checks have not been completed; or
(g) accepting it would otherwise be contrary to law or the orderly conduct of the Auction.
You should not assume that a Bid has been accepted unless the relevant bidding interface or the Auctioneer confirms that you are the leading Bidder.
5. RESERVES AND CONDUCT OF THE AUCTION
A Lot may be offered subject to a Reserve unless the Auction Notice expressly states that it is offered without reserve.
The Reserve will not ordinarily exceed the lower estimate stated for the Lot, unless a different arrangement is disclosed or permitted by the applicable Terms of Sale.
The Auctioneer is not required to sell a Lot below its Reserve and may:
(a) decline to open bidding below the Reserve;
(b) reject a Bid below the Reserve;
(c) withdraw or pass the Lot if the Reserve is not met; or
(d) indicate that the Lot remains unsold.
Where expressly reserved and permitted by applicable law, the Auctioneer may place Bids on behalf of the seller up to, but not including, the Reserve.
Such Bids may be placed manually or through an automated bidding function. The Auctioneer will not knowingly place Bids on behalf of the seller at or above the Reserve.
The Auctioneer may determine and change bidding increments, refuse a Bid, withdraw a Lot, combine or divide Lots, change the order of Lots or alter the manner in which the Auction is conducted.
The Auctioneer may, before announcing completion of the sale:
(a) resolve a dispute concerning a Bid;
(b) correct a bidding, catalogue, clerical or technical error;
(c) reopen bidding;
(d) offer the Lot again;
(e) declare a Lot unsold; or
(f) pause, postpone or cancel the offering of a Lot where reasonably necessary because of a technical failure, compliance concern, legal restriction or other operational issue.
The Auctioneer will exercise these powers reasonably and in good faith, having regard to the available bidding records and the orderly conduct of the Auction.
The Auctioneer’s determination of the bidding sequence, leading Bidder and successful Bid will apply, subject to correction of a manifest error and any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
No Bidder has a right to insist that the Auctioneer accepts a particular Bid or bidding increment.
6. ABSENTEE, COMMISSION AND MAXIMUM BIDS
Where offered, TCC may accept Absentee Bids as a convenience to Bidders who are unable or do not wish to bid live.
An Absentee Bid should state the maximum Hammer Price that the Bidder is willing to pay, excluding the Buyer’s Premium, taxes, shipping, insurance and other charges unless expressly stated otherwise.
Subject to the Reserve, competing Bids and applicable bidding increments, the bidding system or Auctioneer will ordinarily attempt to execute an Absentee Bid at the lowest price reasonably available up to the stated maximum.
TCC will use reasonable efforts to execute Absentee Bids that it has received and accepted. However, execution cannot be guaranteed.
An Absentee Bid may fail to be executed or may not succeed because of:
(a) another Bid received at the same or a higher amount;
(b) bidding increments;
(c) a Reserve;
(d) a delay, error or failure in transmission;
(e) incomplete or unclear instructions;
(f) a bidding limit or registration restriction;
(g) a technical or operational issue; or
(h) another circumstance outside TCC’s reasonable control.
Where two or more Absentee Bids are received for the same Lot at the same maximum amount, priority will ordinarily be given to the Bid first received and recorded by the Auctioneer’s system.
Unless the Auction Notice expressly states otherwise, an Absentee Bid may be amended or withdrawn only if TCC receives and acknowledges the instruction before the applicable bidding deadline or before the Lot is offered.
7. LIVE, ONLINE AND THIRD-PARTY PLATFORM BIDDING
TCC may make an Auction available through the Website and one or more Third-Party Platforms.
Third-Party Platforms are independent services that TCC does not own or control. Registration for and use of a Third-Party Platform may be subject to that platform’s own terms, technical requirements and approval processes.
TCC is not responsible for:
(a) whether a Third-Party Platform accepts, rejects or delays your registration;
(b) the operation or availability of your Third-Party Platform account;
(c) the performance of your internet connection, device, browser or software;
(d) delays, interruptions, display errors or differences between audio, video and bidding information;
(e) a Bid that is delayed, duplicated, corrupted, incorrectly displayed or not transmitted;
(f) a Bid that is submitted to the platform but is not received or recorded by the Auctioneer’s system;
(g) a notification, confirmation or status message generated by a Third-Party Platform; or
(h) another failure caused solely by a Third-Party Platform or circumstances outside TCC’s reasonable control.
TCC will nevertheless use reasonable care in operating systems under its control and in administering Bids actually received and recorded by the Auctioneer.
The current bid, asking price, countdown, leading-bidder message or other information displayed by a Website or Third-Party Platform may be delayed or may already reflect an existing Absentee Bid, maximum Bid or another Bid recorded by the Auctioneer.
A Bid equal to the currently displayed Hammer Price or leading Bid may not be sufficient to become the leading Bidder. You must follow the next asking price or bidding increment displayed and confirm that the system has recorded you as the leading Bidder.
Where two or more competing Bids are for the same amount, priority will ordinarily be given to the Bid first received and recorded by the Auctioneer’s system, regardless of the channel through which it was submitted.
Accordingly:
(a) an earlier Absentee Bid or maximum Bid may take priority over a later Live Bid at the same amount;
(b) a Live Bid does not automatically override an earlier Bid at the same amount; and
(c) a Bid displayed as submitted, pending or accepted by a Third-Party Platform is not successful unless it is received, recorded and accepted by the Auctioneer.
Bidders should place Bids in sufficient time and should not wait until the final moment. TCC cannot guarantee that a late Bid will be received before the Lot closes.
Nothing in this clause excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
8. TIMED AUCTIONS
In a Timed Auction, bidding for each Lot will close at the time stated on the relevant bidding system, subject to any extension feature described in the Auction Notice.
A Bid submitted near the scheduled closing time may extend the closing time where an automatic extension or anti-sniping feature applies.
The sale is not complete merely because a Bidder’s device displays that the scheduled time has expired. The sale is complete when the Auctioneer’s system records the close of the Lot and identifies the successful Bid, subject to the Reserve and any applicable Auction Notice.
The time maintained by the Auctioneer’s system will determine the opening, extension and closing times of a Timed Auction.
9. EQUAL BIDS AND BID PRIORITY
Where competing Bids are recorded at the same amount, the Auctioneer will ordinarily give priority to the Bid first received and recorded by the Auctioneer’s system.
This priority applies regardless of whether the earlier Bid was submitted:
(a) as an Absentee Bid;
(b) as a maximum or automatic Bid;
(c) through the Website;
(d) through a Third-Party Platform;
(e) live during the Auction; or
(f) by another bidding method accepted for that Auction.
The date or time at which a Bidder clicked a button, sent an instruction or received a platform-generated confirmation will not determine priority if the Bid was received and recorded by the Auctioneer at a different time.
The Auctioneer may refer to its system logs, bidding records and other available evidence when determining the order and validity of Bids.
10. CLOSING, REOPENING AND COMPLETION OF A LOT
Each Lot is treated as the subject of a separate potential contract of sale.
For a live, webcast or hybrid Auction, the Auctioneer may announce the apparent conclusion of bidding by the fall of the hammer, by stating “sold” or by another customary method.
Because an Auction may be simultaneously conducted through multiple bidding channels and Third-Party Platforms, the Auctioneer may, at their discretion:
(a) reopen or continue bidding even after the hammer has fallen or the Lot has been announced as sold;
(b) accept and process a Bid received while the Auction team is closing the Lot or moving the connected bidding platforms to the next Lot;
(c) accept and process a Bid that was delayed in transmission, display, communication or processing;
(d) pause the Auction while the status or sequence of competing Bids is checked;
(e) move the bidding backwards or forwards;
(f) correct a bidding, clerical, display, communication or technical error;
(g) resolve any dispute concerning whether, when or through which bidding channel a Bid was received;
(h) determine the successful Bidder;
(i) cancel the apparent sale of the Lot; or
(j) reoffer and resell the Lot.
These powers may be exercised where reasonably necessary to synchronise Bids received through the saleroom, telephone bidding, Absentee Bids, the Website and any Third-Party Platforms, or to ensure that a Bid received during the closing process has been properly considered.
A Bid may be treated as having been received during the closing process where it is received or brought to the Auctioneer’s attention:
(a) at or around the time the hammer falls;
(b) while the Auction team is completing or synchronising the Lot across the connected bidding platforms;
(c) before all relevant platform operators have moved to and opened the next Lot; or
(d) within another brief period reasonably required to identify and process pending or delayed Bids.
Accordingly, a Bidder displayed or announced as the leading or successful Bidder does not acquire an unconditional entitlement to the Lot merely because:
(a) the hammer has fallen;
(b) the Auctioneer has stated “sold”;
(c) the Website or a Third-Party Platform has displayed the Lot as sold, won or closed;
(d) the next Lot has begun to appear on one or more bidding platforms; or
(e) an invoice, notification or provisional result has been automatically generated.
Where bidding is reopened or continued:
(a) all existing valid Bids will ordinarily remain effective;
(b) the Auctioneer may resume bidding from the last valid Bid or another appropriate amount;
(c) all Bidders participating through the available channels may be given a reasonable opportunity to continue bidding where operationally practicable; and
(d) the Auctioneer will determine the final successful Bidder.
The Auctioneer will exercise these powers reasonably and in good faith, having regard to the available bidding records, communications from the platform operators and the orderly conduct of the Auction.
The Auctioneer is not required to reopen a Lot merely because a Bidder:
(a) intended to submit a higher Bid;
(b) attempted to bid after the relevant platform had closed;
(c) experienced a problem with their device, internet connection or Third-Party Platform;
(d) failed to follow the next asking price or bidding increment; or
(e) subsequently states that they were willing to pay more.
For a Timed Auction, the Auctioneer may reopen, extend or continue a Lot where a Bid remains pending, an automatic extension applies, a technical or platform issue has occurred, or the Auctioneer reasonably considers that the closing sequence has not been properly completed.
The Auctioneer’s final determination of the successful Bidder will apply, subject to correction of a manifest error and any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Upon the Auctioneer’s final determination of the result, the successful Bidder becomes the Buyer and the sale remains subject to the applicable Terms of Sale.
11. PRICE, PLATFORM CHARGES AND BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS
The Buyer must pay:
(a) the Hammer Price;
(b) the Buyer’s Premium;
(c) any applicable taxes, duties or other governmental charges;
(d) any applicable online-bidding, live-bidding or Third-Party Platform surcharge;
(e) shipping, insurance, storage, handling or collection charges; and
(f) any other amount payable under the applicable Terms of Sale or Auction Notice.
A Third-Party Platform may impose an additional fee or surcharge for Bids placed through that platform. The applicable fee may:
(a) vary between platforms and Auctions;
(b) be calculated as a percentage of the Hammer Price or another stated amount;
(c) be subject to VAT or another applicable tax;
(d) be collected directly by the Third-Party Platform; or
(e) be collected by TCC and included on the Buyer’s invoice.
The applicable Buyer’s Premium, platform surcharge and other material charges will be stated in the Auction Notice, catalogue, registration page, applicable Terms of Sale or relevant Third-Party Platform before bidding.
By placing a Bid through a Third-Party Platform, you agree to pay any clearly disclosed platform surcharge applicable to that bidding method if your Bid is successful.
All Bids must be placed in the currency stated for the relevant Auction.
Any currency conversion displayed by the Website or a Third-Party Platform is provided for guidance only. The amount payable will be calculated in the Auction currency, and your bank, card provider or payment provider may apply its own exchange rate and charges.
The Buyer’s payment, collection, delivery, cancellation, return, authenticity and other post-auction obligations are governed by the Terms of Sale.
12. BIDDING RECORDS, INFORMATION REQUESTS AND DISPUTES
You must notify TCC promptly if you believe:
(a) a Bid was not received or was incorrectly recorded;
(b) a Lot was closed, continued or reopened incorrectly;
(c) your Account was used without authority;
(d) the order of Bids displayed by the Website or a Third-Party Platform was incorrect;
(e) the bidding history contains an apparent error; or
(f) the result announced for a Lot is inconsistent with the available bidding information.
TCC may investigate the matter using any information reasonably available to it, including:
(a) the Auctioneer’s bidding records;
(b) server and system timestamps;
(c) Account records;
(d) bidding-platform reports;
(e) audio or video recordings;
(f) communications;
(g) Third-Party Platform information; and
(h) other relevant technical or operational records.
The time or information shown on a Bidder’s device, screenshot, email, notification or Third-Party Platform may differ from the time or information recorded by the Auctioneer’s system.
TCC may, at its discretion, provide a general explanation of the outcome of its investigation. Except where disclosure is required by applicable law, a court, regulator or other competent authority, TCC will not be required to disclose:
(a) the complete, original or unredacted bidding log;
(b) another Bidder’s identity, Account information or Personal Data;
(c) another Bidder’s individual bidding history;
(d) the amount of another Bidder’s maximum, automatic or Absentee Bid;
(e) confidential seller, consignor or Reserve information;
(f) internal notes, deliberations or communications;
(g) fraud-prevention, compliance, security or risk information;
(h) proprietary technical, system or platform information; or
(i) information belonging to a Third-Party Platform that TCC is not authorised to disclose.
A Bidder has no contractual right under these Auction Terms to inspect, audit, download or receive a copy of TCC’s complete internal bidding records or the records of a Third-Party Platform.
A Bidder may separately exercise any statutory right to request their own Personal Data under applicable data-protection law. Any response may be limited, redacted or withheld to the extent permitted or required to protect:
(a) another person’s Personal Data;
(b) confidential information;
(c) legal professional privilege;
(d) fraud-prevention or crime-detection activities;
(e) system security; or
(f) another applicable legal exemption.
Following an investigation, TCC may:
(a) confirm the original result;
(b) correct a bidding or Account record;
(c) continue or reopen bidding where final completion has not occurred;
(d) refer the matter to a Third-Party Platform;
(e) suspend or restrict an Account;
(f) take action under these Auction Terms or the Terms of Sale; or
(g) take another reasonable action permitted by law.
A screenshot, platform notification, temporary winning message, closed message or delayed display will not by itself establish that a Bid was received, recorded or finally accepted by the Auctioneer.
The Auctioneer’s system records will ordinarily be treated as the primary record of:
(a) the Bids received;
(b) the order in which Bids were recorded;
(c) whether a Bid was pending or delayed;
(d) when final completion occurred; and
(e) the successful Bidder,
subject to correction of a manifest error and any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
13. RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER TERMS
These Auction Terms govern registration, participation and bidding.
The Terms of Sale govern the contract arising from a successful Bid, including:

Use of a Third-Party Platform is also subject to that platform’s own terms. Those platform terms do not alter the contract between the Buyer and the applicable seller or Contracting Entity unless expressly stated.
14. LIABILITY
Nothing in these Auction Terms excludes or limits liability for:
(a) death or personal injury caused by negligence;
(b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
(c) any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Where you are a consumer, TCC remains responsible for foreseeable loss or damage caused by its breach of these Auction Terms or failure to use reasonable care and skill.

Liability relating to the purchase, condition, delivery or ownership of a Lot is governed by the applicable Terms of Sale.
15. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
These Auction Terms are governed by the law identified in the applicable Auction Notice or Terms of Sale.
Where no different governing law is identified, these Auction Terms and any non-contractual dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
Nothing in these Auction Terms deprives a consumer of any mandatory rights or protections available under the laws of the country in which that consumer habitually resides.
The jurisdiction provision stated in the applicable Auction Notice or Terms of Sale will apply. Where no different jurisdiction is identified, the courts of England and Wales shall have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer rights.

Sale Terms and Conditions
1. ABOUT THESE SALE TERMS
The Coin Cabinet is a brand owned and operated by TCC Global Holdings Ltd and its group companies. These Sale Terms govern purchases of coins, medals, banknotes, tokens, antiquities, jewellery, bullion, collectables and other property from a TCC Group company, whether by live, webcast, room, timed, online or hybrid auction, or by private treaty, retail, website, telephone, email or in-person sale.
The company entering into the sale with the Buyer is the Contracting Entity. It will be identified in the applicable Auction Notice, catalogue, invoice, order confirmation, sales agreement or other transaction document. The Contracting Entity may be TCC Auctions Ltd, TCC Ancients Ltd, TCC Direct Ltd, TCC Greece I.K.E. or TCC Asia Pte. Ltd.
Each TCC Group company is a separate legal entity. References to "TCC", "The Coin Cabinet", "we", "our" or "us" mean the Contracting Entity unless the context clearly refers to a shared Group service. No Group company guarantees or assumes another Group company's obligations unless expressly agreed in writing.
These Sale Terms apply together with the Auction Terms where Goods are bought at Auction, any Auction Notice or transaction-specific agreement, the invoice or order confirmation, and any applicable Third-Party Platform terms. Auction-specific terms prevail for that Auction or Lot; the Auction Terms prevail for registration, bidding and conduct of an Auction; and these Sale Terms prevail for the resulting purchase, payment and post-sale obligations.
By becoming the successful Bidder, confirming an order or otherwise entering into a Sale Contract, the Buyer agrees to these Sale Terms. Nothing in them excludes a right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.

2.2 Interpretation
The singular includes the plural and vice versa; references to a person include individuals and legal entities; "including" is illustrative and does not limit the words before it; writing includes reproducible electronic communications; and headings do not affect interpretation.
3. CONTRACTING ENTITY AND AGENCY
The transaction documents determine the Contracting Entity. It is not determined solely by the Buyer's location, the location of the Goods, the invoice currency, the platform used, the office first contacted or the Group company providing support.
The Contracting Entity may sell as principal or as agent for a Seller. When acting as agent, it may form, administer and enforce the Sale Contract on the Seller's behalf, issue the invoice, collect payment, arrange release or delivery and exercise the remedies in these terms. The Seller's identity may remain confidential unless disclosure is legally required.
Another Group company may provide Account, payment, compliance, storage, fulfilment, shipping, accounting or customer-support services without becoming the Seller or Contracting Entity. The Buyer must use only payment instructions issued or approved by the Contracting Entity.
4. FORMATION OF THE SALE CONTRACT
4.1 Auction Sales
A Bid is an offer to purchase the Lot subject to the Auction Terms, these Sale Terms, any Reserve and the applicable Auction Notice. A Sale Contract is formed only when the Auctioneer makes the final determination of the successful Bidder under the Auction Terms. A hammer fall, "sold" announcement, platform display or provisional invoice remains subject to the Auctioneer's powers to continue or reopen bidding, correct an error, resolve a dispute, cancel an apparent result or reoffer the Lot.
When the Auctioneer makes the final determination, the successful Bidder becomes the Buyer and is bound to pay and complete the purchase, subject only to mandatory rights that cannot be excluded. Each Lot is treated as a separate Sale Contract unless the transaction documents state otherwise.
4.2 Direct Sales
Website listings, catalogues, advertisements, price lists and quotations are invitations to make an offer unless expressly stated otherwise. The Buyer makes an offer by submitting an order, accepting a quotation, signing an agreement, authorising payment or otherwise clearly agreeing to purchase.
TCC accepts the offer by expressly confirming acceptance, issuing an invoice or order confirmation that confirms acceptance, signing a sales agreement, accepting payment in circumstances showing acceptance, or releasing or dispatching the Goods. An automated acknowledgement alone is not acceptance.
For Market-Linked Goods, any quotation may be valid only for the period stated. The price is fixed when TCC accepts the Buyer's offer and forms the Sale Contract. TCC is not required to honour an expired quotation or absorb a subsequent movement in the relevant financial, precious-metal, commodity or currency market.
Before acceptance, TCC may decline the order where the Goods are unavailable, there is a manifest pricing or description error, required compliance or payment checks are incomplete, the transaction may be unlawful, or fraud or operational error is reasonably suspected.
4.3 Authority
A person bidding or buying for another person warrants that they have authority to bind that Buyer. Unless the agency and principal are disclosed and accepted before the Sale Contract is formed, the person acting may remain personally responsible for completing the purchase.
5. IDENTITY, COMPLIANCE AND DUE-DILIGENCE CHECKS
TCC may carry out identity, anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing, sanctions, fraud, source-of-funds, source-of-wealth, payment-risk and other compliance checks before or after registration, bidding, purchase, payment, delivery, collection or refund. Checks may be required at any value and may be repeated or enhanced where transactions are linked, information changes or risk increases.
The Buyer must promptly provide information reasonably requested, which may include photographic identification, proof of address, nationality and date of birth, bank and payment details, occupation or business information, source of funds or wealth, corporate documents, beneficial ownership and authority, tax and customs information, and provenance or ownership information. TCC may require originals, certified or notarised copies, translations or electronic verification.
For companies, partnerships, trusts and other organisations, TCC may verify the organisation, ownership and control structure, directors, partners, trustees, authorised representatives and ultimate beneficial owners. TCC may screen Buyers and connected persons for sanctions, politically exposed person status, adverse media, fraud and other compliance risks.
Payment must normally come from an account in the Buyer's name. Third-party payments require prior approval and may be refused, delayed, returned or subjected to checks on both the Buyer and payer. Acceptance of a third-party payment gives the payer no rights in the Goods. Refunds will ordinarily return to the original verified source.
Cash is accepted only with prior approval. A cash payment above GBP 5,000, or the equivalent, is subject to enhanced checks, and linked or split payments may be aggregated. TCC may impose a lower limit, refuse cash or require verified bank transfer.
TCC may use specialist identity, biometric, sanctions and fraud-prevention providers. If checks cannot be completed satisfactorily, TCC may refuse or suspend registration, Bids, orders, payment, delivery, collection or refunds; impose limits or conditions; cancel a Sale Contract where legally permitted; close an Account; retain required records; and make reports or disclosures to banks, advisers, regulators, authorities or law-enforcement bodies where required or permitted. TCC may be legally unable to explain whether a report or investigation has occurred.
6. PRICE, BUYER'S PREMIUM AND CHARGES
The Buyer must pay the Sale Price in full. For an Auction Sale this may include the Hammer Price, Buyer's Premium, Platform Charge, taxes, shipping, packaging, Transit Protection, payment administration, multicurrency, storage and other disclosed amounts. For a Direct Sale it may include the agreed price and the same applicable additional charges.
The Buyer's Premium and any Platform Charge may vary by Contracting Entity, Auction, format, location, category, value, bidding channel and tax treatment. The applicable rate or calculation method will be disclosed in the Auction Notice, catalogue, registration page, platform or other pre-contract information.
The price of Market-Linked Goods may be determined by reference to live or recent financial, precious-metal, commodity or currency market data, together with TCC's premium, margin or other disclosed pricing factors. The price may change before TCC accepts the order and becomes fixed only when the Sale Contract is formed.
Taxes and governmental charges will be applied where legally required. Tax treatment may depend on the Contracting Entity, location and nature of the Goods, Buyer status, destination, agency or principal status and any applicable margin or auction scheme. TCC may correct an invoice where necessary to comply with law.
Shipping, Transit Protection, Payment Administration and multicurrency charges apply as described in Sections 7 and 11. Optional services and charges apply only where requested or agreed. Mandatory charges, or their calculation method where the amount cannot be known in advance, will be disclosed before the Buyer is bound where required by law.
The Buyer must review the invoice promptly. TCC may correct a manifest clerical, calculation, tax or currency error. The Buyer may not withhold or set off payment unless TCC agrees in writing or the Buyer has a mandatory legal right.
7. PAYMENT METHODS AND CURRENCY
7.1 Bank transfer and Invoice Currency
TCC's standard payment method is bank transfer to the account stated on the invoice or in verified instructions. The Buyer must quote the requested reference and ensure TCC receives the full amount in cleared, irrevocable and freely available funds. The Buyer bears its own bank, intermediary and conversion charges and must pay any shortfall.
The Sale Price is payable in the Invoice Currency unless TCC agrees otherwise. Payment is received only when the full amount is available to TCC; initiating a transfer, a debit from the Buyer's account, a pending provider confirmation or a partial payment is insufficient.
7.2 Multicurrency payments
TCC may accept payment in more than 60 currencies, subject to availability and approval. TCC will quote the alternative-currency amount and validity period. A multicurrency administration charge of 1.5% to 5% may apply depending on the currencies, amount, timing, banking costs, compliance requirements and risk. The quotation and charge must be accepted before processing; otherwise payment remains due in the Invoice Currency.
7.3 PayPal and manually administered card payments
TCC does not ordinarily accept cards directly. At the Buyer's request, it may arrange a manually administered payment through PayPal or another approved provider, potentially allowing card funding. This optional service may require additional checks and a separately quoted Payment Administration Service Charge, ordinarily 2.9% to 5%, plus applicable tax. The charge will apply only where legally permitted and agreed before the service is provided. Provider approval or pending status is not payment until TCC receives cleared funds.
7.4 Cash and split payments
Cash requires prior written approval, an agreed appointment and completion of required checks. Where legally permitted, a separately quoted cash-administration charge of 2.9% to 5%, plus applicable tax, may apply according to value, currency, handling, banking, compliance, timing and risk. Cash must not be posted or couriered without an expressly agreed secure arrangement.
The Buyer may not split payment between methods, currencies or payers without approval. Acceptance of a partial payment does not extend the deadline, waive the balance or entitle the Buyer to the Goods. Cryptocurrency is not accepted.
7.5 Payment security, refunds and reversals
The Buyer must verify any apparent change to bank details using independently confirmed TCC contact information. TCC is not responsible for payment diverted because the Buyer failed to follow or verify genuine instructions, or because the Buyer's systems were compromised, except to the extent caused by TCC's own fraud, negligence or breach.
Refunds will ordinarily be made to the original verified payer, using the original method and currency where practicable. TCC may perform verification before refunding. If a payment is reversed, recalled, dishonoured or charged back, the amount becomes immediately due again together with lawful costs and remedies.
8. PAYMENT DEADLINE AND AGREED EXTENSIONS
Unless the transaction documents state otherwise, the Sale Price is due when invoiced and must be received in full and cleared funds within seven calendar days of the invoice date. The Buyer must allow for banking, currency, provider, compliance, weekend and public-holiday delays. Goods will not be released before full payment and completion of required checks.
An extension is valid only if expressly agreed by TCC in writing. TCC may require a deposit, instalment plan, security, additional information, restrictions on further purchases, and payment of storage, insurance, handling or other costs. Silence, a reminder delay or acceptance of part-payment is not an extension.
Where TCC agrees additional time, it may quote a Payment Extension Charge reflecting administration, storage, security, funding, currency exposure and risk. Subject to applicable law, the charge may be 3% to 10% of the outstanding balance for each agreed month, must be stated and accepted in writing in advance, and will not be compounded unless expressly and lawfully agreed. Consumer charges must be fair, transparent and proportionate.
If an instalment or extended deadline is missed, the extension may terminate, the full balance may become immediately due and TCC may exercise Section 9 remedies. TCC will not recover the same loss twice through extension charges, interest or compensation.
9. NON-PAYMENT AND TCC'S REMEDIES
The Buyer is in default if an amount is not paid when due, an agreed extension or instalment is breached, a payment is reversed or dishonoured, the Buyer refuses or indicates inability to complete, or information needed to verify payment is not provided.
While default continues, TCC may withhold release, delivery or collection; suspend or close the Account; reject or limit further Bids and purchases; require deposits or advance payment; suspend another transaction; retain Goods or other property to the extent permitted by law; and incur reasonable storage, security and protection costs.
TCC may issue a demand or opportunity to remedy but is not required to send repeated reminders. It may act without further notice where payment is refused or reversed, the Buyer cannot reasonably be contacted, urgent protective action is needed, fraud or illegality is reasonably suspected, or law permits.
Subject to applicable law, TCC may cancel the affected Sale Contract and resell the Goods by auction, private treaty, Third-Party Platform, another Group company or another commercially reasonable method. TCC will act in good faith but does not guarantee the original price.
The Buyer must pay any net resale shortfall and reasonable direct losses caused by default, including lost or incurred premiums and platform charges, Seller claims, resale, cataloguing, photography, marketing, shipping, storage, protection, banking, currency, tax, tracing, legal, debt-recovery and enforcement costs, to the extent lawful and reasonably incurred. Deposits and part-payments may be applied to those amounts; any lawful surplus will be returned. TCC will not recover the same loss twice.
For Business Buyers, statutory or agreed interest, fixed compensation and reasonable recovery costs may also apply. For Consumers, charges apply only where lawful, fair, transparent and proportionate.
TCC may set off amounts otherwise payable by the same Contracting Entity to the Buyer where lawful. Cross-company set-off requires agreement or another lawful basis. Following material default, TCC may maintain Group-wide bidding or transaction restrictions where reasonably necessary for credit, fraud, compliance or risk management.
Where lawful, necessary and proportionate, TCC may share relevant information with Group companies, the relevant platform, banks, insurers, advisers, debt-recovery and fraud-prevention providers, trade bodies, other auction houses or dealers, and competent authorities. Ordinary non-payment will not automatically be treated as criminal conduct. Proceedings against Consumers remain subject to mandatory consumer-jurisdiction rules.
10. TITLE AND RISK
Legal title to the Goods passes only after the Contracting Entity has received the full Sale Price and all other amounts due in cleared funds. Until then, the Seller or Contracting Entity retains title and the Buyer must not sell, pledge, charge or otherwise deal with the Goods. TCC may retain related certificates and documents until payment.
Title and risk are separate. Where TCC offers or arranges the Carrier, risk remains with TCC until the Buyer or a person nominated by the Buyer takes physical possession. If the Buyer instructs delivery to a safe place, neighbour, reception, mailroom or other nominated recipient, risk passes on delivery in accordance with that instruction, subject to mandatory law.
Where the Buyer independently appoints a Carrier not offered or arranged by TCC, risk passes when the Goods are handed to that Carrier. For collection, risk passes on physical handover to the Buyer, authorised representative or Buyer-appointed Carrier.
If Goods are lost or materially damaged before risk passes, TCC will provide the remedy required by applicable law, which may include repair where appropriate, replacement where possible, cancellation and refund, or another agreed remedy. After risk passes, the Buyer is responsible except to the extent loss is caused by TCC's breach, negligence or another liability that cannot be excluded.
The Buyer should inspect deliveries promptly, preserve the Goods, packaging, labels and evidence, and notify TCC of loss, damage, tampering, missing items or delivery errors as soon as reasonably practicable. Delay may prejudice a Carrier claim but does not remove mandatory Consumer rights.
11. SHIPPING, TRANSIT PROTECTION AND DELIVERY
11.1 Standard arrangements and charges
Where requested, TCC may arrange shipping through Royal Mail, DHL or another suitable Carrier, taking account of destination, value, size, weight, security and the nature of the Goods. Goods may be combined or divided into shipments for security, customs, value limits or operational reasons.
Unless a different charge is quoted or agreed, standard charges are:
Royal Mail Special Delivery within the United Kingdom: GBP 11.05;
DHL domestic delivery within the country from which the Goods are dispatched, including the United Kingdom, Greece or Singapore: GBP 20.80;
DHL international delivery to the United States or a European destination: GBP 52.00; and
DHL international delivery to other destinations: GBP 71.50. An equivalent may be invoiced in another currency.
Royal Mail is available only for eligible UK deliveries and is ordinarily used for shipments not exceeding GBP 20,000. DHL will ordinarily be used for Greece and Singapore domestic deliveries and for international delivery. Charges may increase for weight, dimensions, multiple packages, remote areas, customs, restricted destinations, specialist packaging, high value, Carrier price changes or other material cost or risk factors. TCC will notify the Buyer before dispatch where the charge is materially higher.
11.2 Transit Protection
Unless otherwise stated, the Transit Protection Charge is
0.35% of the value of the Goods in a domestic shipment and
0.85% for an international shipment.
TCC may quote a higher rate where destination, value, nature of the Goods, Carrier or insurer requirements, method, security, customs or other shipment-specific risk justifies it. The charge does not alter mandatory rules on when delivery risk passes.
11.3 High-value shipments and dispatch
TCC may require Ferrari, Loomis, Brink's or another specialist secure provider for high-value, sensitive or higher-risk shipments. The arrangements and charges will be separately discussed and quoted.
TCC will not ordinarily dispatch until full cleared payment is received, checks are complete, the delivery address is approved, required customs or export documents are available and shipping arrangements are confirmed. Delivery may be restricted to a verified residential, business or billing address.
11.4 Delivery estimates and problems
Estimated delivery times will be communicated when shipping is quoted or confirmed. They begin on dispatch, not at the end of the Auction, placement of an order, issue of an invoice or initiation of payment. Estimates are not guarantees unless TCC expressly agrees a delivery date in writing. Nothing in this clause affects a mandatory statutory delivery deadline or Consumer remedy.
The Buyer should promptly photograph and report damaged, opened or tampered packaging and retain all packaging and labels. If delivery fails because of an incorrect address, absence, refusal, unpaid import charges, missing customs information or failure to collect, the Buyer may be responsible for reasonable return, redelivery, storage, customs, handling and Transit Protection costs.
12. COLLECTION FROM TCC OFFICES
Subject to prior agreement, Goods may be collected by appointment from a confirmed TCC office in the United Kingdom, Greece or Singapore. Goods are not available at every office and the collection location may differ from the Contracting Entity. TCC is not obliged to transfer Goods between offices solely for collection, but may agree to do so subject to availability, customs, security and payment of applicable costs.
Collection is permitted only after full cleared payment, completion of checks, confirmation of the appointment and verification of the collector. The Buyer must present valid photographic identification. A third-party collector or Buyer-appointed Carrier requires prior written authority and satisfactory identification and may be refused where authority, suitability, security or compliance cannot be verified.
The collector should confirm the Goods at handover and may be required to sign a receipt. Risk passes under Section 10. Failure to collect within the agreed period may result in reasonable storage, handling, security, transfer or delivery costs and the remedies in Section 9.
13. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, CUSTOMS AND TAXES
The Buyer is responsible for checking before purchase whether the Goods may lawfully be exported, imported, owned, possessed, delivered and resold in the relevant jurisdictions. International transactions may require customs declarations, licences, permits and payment of import VAT, GST, sales tax, duty, brokerage, inspection, storage or other charges.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, the Buyer is responsible for destination-country import charges and acts as, or appoints, the importer of record. The Buyer must provide required identification, tax, EORI or equivalent numbers, powers of attorney, licences and other customs information. TCC is not the Buyer's customs broker or importer unless expressly agreed.
TCC and its Carriers will use a truthful description and value. The Buyer must not request undervaluation, gift treatment, false description, concealed identities or shipment splitting intended to avoid tax or regulation. TCC may disclose relevant transaction, value, provenance and Buyer information to Carriers and authorities where lawful.
Coins, antiquities and other cultural objects may require export or import permission. TCC may delay dispatch while an application is made and does not guarantee approval or timing. If permission is refused or lawful delivery becomes impracticable, TCC may agree another destination or collection, store the Goods, or cancel the affected sale and refund sums paid less only lawful costs attributable to the Buyer's breach or expressly agreed non-refundable expenditure.
If the Buyer fails to pay import charges, provide documents, obtain a Buyer-responsible permit, accept delivery or clear the Goods, the Buyer is responsible for reasonable resulting return, storage, customs, handling and protection costs. TCC may suspend a transaction or shipment where it reasonably suspects breach of customs, sanctions, cultural-property, stolen-property or other law. Any tax or customs information from TCC is general information, not professional advice.
14. CONDITION, GRADING AND DESCRIPTIONS
TCC will take reasonable care when describing the Goods. Descriptions may address identity, date, mint, issuer, maker, material, denomination, weight, dimensions, grade, condition, rarity, references, provenance, certification, repairs and alterations, using information and professional opinions reasonably available at the time.
Unless expressly guaranteed as fact, statements about attribution, date, origin, mint, grade, condition, rarity, provenance, historical importance and comparable examples are professional opinions. Specialists and grading companies may reasonably differ and research may develop. A different later opinion does not by itself establish misdescription, but this does not protect a material inconsistency with an express contractual description.
Historic and pre-owned Goods may show wear, marks, toning, patina, deposits, corrosion, porosity, striking or manufacturing irregularities, cleaning, polishing, tooling, smoothing, conservation, repair, restoration, mounting, test cuts, banker's marks, graffiti, countermarks and other age-related or historic characteristics. TCC will seek to disclose significant known matters but descriptions and condition reports are not exhaustive lists of every minor or visible feature.
A grade stated by TCC is an opinion. TCC does not guarantee agreement by another specialist, numerical grading or encapsulation by a grading company, the same result on resubmission, or a future unchanged grade. Where Goods are in a PCGS, NGC or other holder, the label and grade are that provider's opinion; TCC may rely on the label absent reason to doubt it and does not ordinarily remove the Goods from the holder.
Photographs form part of the information but may differ because of lighting, processing, screens, scale, reflections, toning, patina or lustre. Images may be enlarged and should not be used for exact dimensions. Weights, measurements, axes, dates, references and population figures may be approximate and may change.
A Buyer may request additional photographs, information or a condition report before bidding or purchase. A condition report is an opinion, may not identify hidden or every minor issue and may be declined where time or safe examination does not permit. Where practicable, Buyers are encouraged to inspect personally or through a qualified representative and to raise matters important to them before purchase.
TCC may correct or supplement a description before formation of the Sale Contract through the catalogue, Auction Notice, platform or Auctioneer announcement. Auction estimates, valuations and market commentary are opinions and do not guarantee a Hammer Price, future value, liquidity, grading outcome or resale result.
Nothing in this Section excludes mandatory rights requiring Goods to correspond with their description, be of the quality required by law, be fit for a purpose where the legal requirements are met, or otherwise conform with the Sale Contract. Disclosed or reasonably visible characteristics will be taken into account only to the extent permitted by law.
15. AUTHENTICITY CLAIMS
15.1 Commercial Authenticity Guarantee
TCC gives the original Buyer a limited, non-transferable commercial guarantee that a coin expressly sold as genuine is not a counterfeit or forgery. It does not apply to an item clearly described as a replica, reproduction, copy or imitation and is additional to, not a replacement for, mandatory rights.
For this guarantee, a coin is inauthentic where PCGS or NGC, acting within the scope of its services, gives a clear final written determination that it is not genuine, is counterfeit or forged, or was materially altered to create a false type, date, mint mark, issuer or numismatic identity. A no-grade, details, cleaning, tooling, repair, environmental damage, grade or attribution disagreement, service refusal or inconclusive opinion is not by itself an authenticity determination.
15.2 Claim period and procedure
The Buyer must notify TCC in writing within two calendar months after physical receipt or collection, identify the transaction and concern, and provide photographs and available evidence. After that period, no refund is available under this commercial guarantee, but mandatory statutory, fraud and other non-excludable rights remain unaffected.
The Buyer must preserve the coin and must not clean, alter, repair, remove it from a sealed holder or submit it to destructive testing without approval. TCC may require return for inspection, submission by TCC, an approved direct submission, or the original grading-company determination. TCC may verify the coin, certification, report and chain of custody, and may seek clarification or a further opinion where the result is incomplete or cannot reasonably be verified.
15.3 Costs and remedy
The Buyer initially bears authentication and return costs unless TCC agrees otherwise. If the claim is upheld, TCC will reimburse reasonable approved costs and, once the same coin and all supplied holders, labels, certificates and provenance documents are returned free of third-party interests, cancel the affected Sale Contract and refund the purchase or Hammer Price, TCC Buyer's Premium, charges retained by TCC, refundable tax and any other amount required by law. Direct platform charges remain subject to the platform's terms unless TCC is legally responsible.
For a multi-item Lot, the remedy will ordinarily be apportioned to the affected coin unless the Lot is indivisible, the coin materially formed the basis of the purchase, or law requires treatment of the whole Lot. Banknotes, medals, tokens, antiquities, jewellery and Goods outside PCGS or NGC service scope will be assessed under the express description, appropriate specialist evidence, any agreed process and applicable law.
TCC may suspend a claim where the Buyer does not provide the item or evidence, prevents verification, supplies misleading information, or has sold, altered or lost control of the coin. Fraudulent claims and substituted returns may be reported and pursued.
16. CANCELLATION, RETURNS AND REFUNDS
16.1 General policy
Once a Sale Contract has been formed, TCC does not provide a voluntary cancellation, cooling-off or change-of-mind return right merely because the Buyer:
(a) has changed their mind;
(b) no longer wishes or is able to pay;
(c) regrets the amount Bid or the resulting Sale Price;
(d) considers the purchase price too high;
(e) finds another item or a lower price elsewhere;
(f) disagrees with a professional opinion concerning grade, condition, attribution, rarity or value, where the Goods were not materially misdescribed;
(g) cannot obtain a desired grading or resale result; or
(h) experiences a change in market conditions, exchange rates or personal circumstances.
Auction Sales are subject to Clause 16.2. Any mandatory cancellation right applying to a qualifying Direct Sale is addressed in Clause 16.3, and the market-fluctuation exception for Market-Linked Goods is addressed in Clause 16.4.
Nothing in this Section excludes any mandatory right relating to Goods that are counterfeit, materially misdescribed, defective, supplied without proper title, damaged before risk passes or otherwise fail to conform with the Sale Contract.
16.2 Auction Sales
A successful Bid is binding once the Sale Contract is formed in accordance with Section 4 and the Auction Terms.
TCC Auctions are conducted as public or hybrid Auctions through a transparent and competitive bidding procedure run by an Auctioneer. Consumers are given a genuine opportunity to attend and participate in person at the stated physical Auction venue. TCC may also permit participation through online, telephone, commission or other remote bidding methods.
Where an Auction qualifies as a public auction under applicable consumer law, the fact that a Buyer chooses to participate online, by telephone, through a Third-Party Platform or by another remote method:
(a) does not convert the Auction Sale into an ordinary online retail sale;
(b) does not give the Buyer a statutory change-of-mind cancellation right; and
(c) does not affect the Buyer's obligation to complete the purchase.
TCC therefore provides no voluntary cancellation, cooling-off or change-of-mind return right for an Auction Sale.
The successful Buyer may not cancel the Auction Sale because the Buyer:
(a) regrets the Bid or Sale Price;
(b) no longer wishes to own the Goods;
(c) is unwilling or unable to pay;
(d) has found another item or a lower price;
(e) participated online or remotely rather than physically in the Auction room;
(f) was bidding against another person and later reconsidered the purchase; or
(g) did not inspect or properly consider the Goods before bidding.
The Auction Notice, catalogue or registration information may identify the physical Auction venue, attendance arrangements and available bidding methods.
If TCC expressly identifies a particular Auction as being conducted entirely remotely, without Consumers being given a genuine opportunity to attend in person, any mandatory cancellation right applying to that specific Auction will remain unaffected.
Nothing in this clause excludes a mandatory right concerning Goods that are counterfeit, materially misdescribed, defective, supplied without proper title or otherwise fail to conform with the Sale Contract. Such a claim is not a change-of-mind cancellation.
16.3 Direct Sales and statutory cancellation rights
A Direct Sale becomes binding when TCC accepts the Buyer's offer in accordance with Section 4.
TCC does not provide a voluntary change-of-mind return right for:
(a) Direct Sales completed at TCC's Premises;
(b) Goods inspected and agreed in person;
(c) private-treaty sales negotiated and concluded in person;
(d) purchases by Business Buyers;
(e) Market-Linked Goods falling within Clause 16.4; or
(f) another Direct Sale for which no mandatory cancellation right applies.
Where a Consumer concludes a qualifying Direct Sale entirely online, by telephone, by email or through another distance-selling method, the Consumer may have a mandatory cancellation right under applicable law unless an exception, including Clause 16.4, applies.
Where United Kingdom or European Union distance-cancellation rules apply to a Direct Sale, the Consumer will ordinarily have 14 calendar days after physical receipt of the Goods to notify TCC clearly of the decision to cancel.
The Consumer must:
(a) notify TCC before the applicable cancellation period expires;
(b) identify the Consumer, invoice or order and Goods being cancelled;
(c) obtain the correct return address and return instructions from TCC;
(d) return the Goods within the period required by applicable law;
(e) securely package and protect the Goods; and
(f) return all holders, labels, certificates, provenance records, packaging and other materials supplied with the Goods.
The Consumer will ordinarily bear the direct cost and risk of returning Goods following a change-of-mind cancellation unless:
(a) TCC expressly agreed to bear the cost;
(b) TCC failed to provide information that applicable law required it to provide;
(c) the Goods are counterfeit, materially misdescribed, defective or otherwise non-conforming; or
(d) applicable law places the cost or risk upon TCC.
For high-value Goods, TCC may require an agreed specialist Carrier or secure-return arrangement.
The Consumer may examine the Goods only to the extent reasonably necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and condition.
Where permitted by applicable law, TCC may reduce the refund to reflect diminished value caused by handling beyond what would reasonably be permitted during an in-person inspection, including:
(a) cleaning, polishing, conserving, repairing or altering the Goods;
(b) removing Goods from a sealed holder;
(c) damaging or replacing a holder, label or certificate;
(d) removing or damaging provenance documents;
(e) using or displaying the Goods in a manner that reduces their value;
(f) failing to package or protect the Goods appropriately; or
(g) otherwise materially changing the Goods from the condition in which they were supplied.
Following a valid statutory cancellation of a Direct Sale, TCC will make the refund required by applicable law. This will ordinarily include:
(a) the purchase price;
(b) mandatory charges collected by TCC in connection with the cancelled Direct Sale;
(c) refundable tax; and
(d) the cost of TCC's least expensive standard outbound delivery method offered for the transaction.
TCC is not required to refund, unless applicable law provides otherwise:
(a) the additional cost of expedited, premium or specialist delivery selected by the Consumer;
(b) charges paid directly to an independent Third-Party Platform or provider;
(c) import duties, brokerage fees or taxes paid directly to an authority or another provider;
(d) lawful diminished-value deductions; or
(e) another amount that TCC is not legally required to refund.
Where permitted by law, TCC may withhold the refund until it has received the returned Goods or the Consumer provides satisfactory evidence that the Goods have been dispatched.
The statutory cancellation rights described in this Clause 16.3 apply only to qualifying Direct Sales for which no legal exception applies. They do not apply to an Auction Sale under Clause 16.2 or to Market-Linked Goods under Clause 16.4.
16.4 Market-Linked Goods
The statutory change-of-mind cancellation right described in Clause 16.3 does not apply, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to the supply of Market-Linked Goods whose price is dependent on fluctuations in a financial, precious-metal, commodity or currency market that TCC cannot control and which may occur during the cancellation period.
Market-Linked Goods may include:
(a) gold, silver, platinum or palladium bullion;
(b) investment-gold bars or coins;
(c) bullion coins and precious-metal products;
(d) coins or other Goods sold substantially by reference to precious-metal content, weight, fineness, prevailing spot price or exchange rates; and
(e) other Goods expressly identified before purchase as being priced by reference to a fluctuating financial, commodity, precious-metal or currency market.
For Market-Linked Goods:
(a) the price becomes fixed when TCC accepts the Buyer's offer and forms the Sale Contract;
(b) the Buyer remains bound to complete the purchase notwithstanding any subsequent rise or fall in the relevant market price;
(c) TCC provides no voluntary cooling-off, change-of-mind cancellation or return right; and
(d) a fall in the market or resale value of the Goods after formation of the Sale Contract does not entitle the Buyer to cancel, return the Goods or receive a refund.
The presence of a historical, collectable or numismatic premium does not by itself prevent Goods from being Market-Linked Goods where the agreed price remains materially and directly dependent on relevant market fluctuations.
The fact that Goods contain precious metal, or that their collectable value may change, does not by itself determine that this exception applies. The actual nature of the Goods, pricing method and circumstances of the transaction will be considered.
TCC may identify Market-Linked Goods and the absence of a change-of-mind cancellation right in the relevant product listing, quotation, order confirmation, invoice or other pre-contract information.
Nothing in this clause excludes any mandatory right relating to Goods that are counterfeit, materially misdescribed, defective, supplied without proper title, damaged before risk passes or otherwise fail to conform with the Sale Contract.
16.5 Non-conforming Goods and voluntary returns
A claim that Goods are counterfeit, materially misdescribed, defective, supplied without proper title or otherwise fail to conform with the Sale Contract is not a change-of-mind return.
The Buyer should notify TCC promptly and provide:
(a) the invoice and Lot or order number;
(b) a clear description of the issue;
(c) photographs of the Goods, holder, packaging and relevant features; and
(d) any available expert, grading-company, authentication or other supporting evidence.
TCC may require a reasonable opportunity to inspect or authenticate the Goods before determining the appropriate remedy.
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, the remedy may include:
(a) correction of an error;
(b) repair or restoration where appropriate;
(c) replacement where reasonably possible;
(d) a proportionate reduction in price;
(e) rejection of the Goods and cancellation of the affected Sale Contract; or
(f) a refund.
Authenticity claims under TCC's Commercial Authenticity Guarantee are also subject to Section 15.
TCC may, but is not obliged to, agree to a voluntary return where no statutory or contractual return right applies. Any voluntary return must be approved by TCC in writing before the Goods are sent and may be subject to reasonable conditions concerning:
(a) the return deadline;
(b) inspection and condition of the Goods;
(c) secure shipping and Transit Protection;
(d) non-recoverable shipping, handling, grading, platform or professional costs;
(e) any reduction in value; and
(f) account credit rather than a cash refund, where agreed with the Buyer.
Unauthorised returns may be refused, redirected or securely stored at the Buyer's reasonable cost.
A Business Buyer has no right to cancel or return Goods except where:
(a) TCC expressly agrees in writing;
(b) the Goods do not correspond with an express contractual description;
(c) TCC or the Seller had no right to sell the Goods;
(d) an express commercial guarantee applies;
(e) TCC has committed a material breach of the Sale Contract; or
(f) applicable law provides a right that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Nothing in this Section excludes or restricts any mandatory right available to a Consumer.
17. CONSUMER RIGHTS
Where the Buyer is a Consumer, nothing in these Sale Terms excludes mandatory rights. Depending on applicable law, Goods may be required to correspond with description, be genuine where promised, be of the legally required quality having regard to age, price and disclosed condition, be fit for a communicated purpose where reliance requirements are met, and be sold by a person entitled to sell them.
If Goods do not conform, statutory remedies may include rejection, repair or restoration, replacement, price reduction, cancellation and refund. The available remedy and sequence depend on applicable law, the issue, timing and whether unique Goods can reasonably be repaired or replaced. TCC may reasonably inspect or authenticate the Goods first.
Commercial guarantees, including Section 15, are additional to statutory rights. A shorter contractual notification or guarantee period does not extinguish a longer mandatory claim. Governing-law clauses do not remove applicable mandatory protections of the Consumer's habitual residence or mandatory consumer-jurisdiction rights.
18. THIRD-PARTY GRADING AND SERVICES
At the Buyer's request, TCC may arrange independent grading, authentication, encapsulation, conservation, examination, imaging, storage, secure transport, customs or other specialist services. TCC is not obliged to offer any service and, unless it expressly agrees to perform it itself, acts as intermediary or administrator while the provider remains responsible for its service and terms.
The Buyer authorises reasonable handling, examination, photography, measurement, non-destructive testing, transport and disclosure of relevant item and transaction information. Destructive, invasive or materially altering work requires specific approval unless urgent preservation action is reasonably necessary.
The Buyer must pay agreed provider, TCC administration, shipping, Transit Protection, customs, storage, currency and tax charges. Quotations may be estimates where final cost depends on value, type, service level, provider assessment, additional work or customs. TCC will seek approval before materially increasing a discretionary cost.
Payment does not guarantee acceptance, timing, authentication, encapsulation, numerical grade, attribution, designation or increased value. TCC does not control a provider's professional outcome. Conservation may change surfaces, patina or deposits and reveal hidden issues without improving grade or value.
TCC or the provider may refuse or suspend the service for scope, safety, payment, information, authenticity, ownership, provenance, compliance or legal reasons. Shipping and risk follow Sections 10 and 11 unless otherwise agreed. TCC will provide reasonable assistance with a provider or Carrier claim but does not guarantee reconsideration or compensation. TCC may retain the Goods until lawful service-related sums are paid.
19. LIABILITY
19.1 Liability that is not excluded
The Contracting Entity will exercise reasonable care and skill. Nothing excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, a mandatory obligation concerning title or the right to sell, mandatory Consumer rights, or any other liability that law does not permit to be excluded or limited.
19.2 Consumers
For a Consumer, TCC is responsible for reasonably foreseeable loss caused by its breach or failure to exercise reasonable care and skill. It is not responsible for business losses suffered by a Consumer. Sections 14 to 17 and mandatory law continue to apply.
19.3 Business Buyers
Subject to Clause 19.1, TCC is not liable to a Business Buyer for loss of profit, revenue, savings, business, opportunity, contract, goodwill, anticipated resale proceeds, market or exchange-rate movement, data, indirect or consequential loss, or special loss not expressly disclosed and accepted before contracting.
Subject to Clause 19.1, TCC's aggregate liability to a Business Buyer arising from an affected Sale Contract will not exceed the Sale Price for the Goods directly affected. For physical loss or damage while Goods are in TCC custody, the cap will not exceed the price paid or another value expressly declared and accepted, except where law requires more. Insurance, Carrier, provider and other recoveries are taken into account to prevent double recovery.
19.4 Opinions, value and third parties
TCC is not liable merely because another specialist or grading company disagrees about grade, attribution, date, mint, rarity, condition, provenance or value; later research changes an opinion; a grade changes on resubmission; an estimate is not achieved; or market value changes. This does not protect dishonesty, lack of reasonable grounds, failure to make a legally required disclosure or material inconsistency with an express description.
Descriptions, estimates, comparable sales, rarity and market commentary are not investment, financial, tax or legal advice and do not guarantee future value, liquidity, resale, grading acceptance or tax treatment.
TCC may use platforms, payment providers, Carriers, graders, authenticators, storage providers, customs brokers and technology suppliers. TCC is not liable for their independent conduct merely because it introduced or arranged the service, but remains responsible where it failed to use reasonable care in selection or instruction, the provider acted as its agent and law imposes responsibility, TCC accepted responsibility, or TCC caused or contributed to the loss.
19.5 Technology, delay and Buyer responsibility
TCC does not guarantee uninterrupted systems or communications. Subject to Clause 19.1, it is not liable for loss caused solely by the Buyer's device, connection or credentials, an independent platform or network failure, or delayed electronic communications outside TCC's reasonable control, except where TCC's breach or negligence caused or materially contributed.
TCC is not liable for customs, licensing, sanctions, authority, Carrier or force-majeure delays outside its reasonable control, without limiting mandatory Consumer delivery or refund rights. Liability is reduced to the extent loss was caused or increased by inaccurate Buyer information, unlawful or unsafe instructions, failure to follow reasonable security or handling instructions, unauthorised alteration, unsuitable Buyer-appointed providers, or failure to protect Goods after risk passed.
19.6 Group structure, indemnity and mitigation
Only the Contracting Entity is liable under the Sale Contract, although another Group company remains liable for its own conduct where it owes a direct legal duty. When acting as agent, the Contracting Entity is liable for its own obligations and conduct, not an independent Seller act unless it accepted responsibility or law provides otherwise.
A Business Buyer must reimburse reasonable direct losses arising from its unlawful instructions, materially false information, Buyer-responsible customs or sanctions breaches, unauthorised payment or collection arrangements, infringement caused by its materials or a third-party claim resulting from its material breach. This does not apply to loss caused by TCC and does not create an equivalent general Consumer indemnity.
A party claiming compensation must take reasonable steps to limit loss and provide prompt notice and cooperation. No party may recover more than once for the same loss. Every exclusion and cap applies only to the maximum lawful, fair and reasonable extent.
20. EVENTS OUTSIDE TCC'S REASONABLE CONTROL (FORCE MAJEURE)
TCC is not responsible for delay or failure caused by an event it could not reasonably prevent or overcome, including severe weather or natural disaster; epidemic; war, terrorism or civil unrest; government, court, customs or regulatory action; sanctions, embargoes, import or export restrictions; strikes or shortages; transport, energy, banking, telecommunications, internet or postal interruption; cyberattack; failure of an essential platform, Carrier, bank, payment, grading, storage or other provider; or closure of premises, routes, ports, airports or borders. Reduced profitability or ordinary commercial inconvenience alone is insufficient.
TCC may suspend the affected obligation, extend time reasonably, delay release or delivery, change a Carrier, route, provider, storage location or method, impose temporary security measures, or postpone, relocate, change or interrupt an Auction in accordance with the Auction Terms. Unaffected obligations continue.
TCC will give reasonable notice of a material effect and take reasonable steps to mitigate it, without being required to incur disproportionate expense or act unlawfully or unsafely. Existing payment obligations are not ordinarily excused, although TCC may confirm a reasonable alternative where the event directly prevents the required payment method.
If material performance remains impossible or unlawful for more than 60 days, or earlier where mandatory law requires, either party may request cancellation if no reasonable alternative exists. TCC will refund amounts paid for Goods it cannot supply, less only deductions lawfully retainable. Mandatory Consumer delivery, cancellation and refund rights remain unaffected.
21. COMMUNICATIONS, NOTICES AND COMPLAINTS
The Buyer must provide and maintain accurate postal, email and telephone details and monitor the email address, Account, platform and spam folders used for the transaction. TCC may communicate by email, Account, platform, text, agreed messaging service or post. A supporting Group company or authorised provider may administer a communication without becoming the Contracting Entity.
TCC may require written and verified confirmation for changed payment details, delivery addresses, third-party collection, release, returns or refunds. The Buyer should independently verify unusual communications or changed bank details. TCC may suspend an instruction where identity theft, account compromise, payment diversion or other fraud is suspected.
Formal notices and complaints must use the published or transaction-specific contact details and should identify the Buyer, Contracting Entity, invoice, order or Lot, explain the issue and requested outcome, and include relevant evidence. Social-media messages or personal employee contacts are not formal notice unless TCC confirms otherwise.
TCC will investigate complaints fairly and within a reasonable period and may review records, inspect or authenticate Goods, and contact Sellers, Carriers, platforms, graders, banks or providers. Possible outcomes include explanation, correction, inspection, return, replacement where possible, price adjustment, credit, refund or rejection with reasons.
A complaint does not automatically suspend payment. The Buyer must pay any undisputed amount unless TCC agrees otherwise. Unresolved complaints may be referred to a competent court, authority or agreed alternative dispute-resolution body. TCC may restrict abusive or threatening communications while continuing legally required contact. No clause shortens a mandatory limitation or claim period.
22. DATA PROTECTION AND PRIVACY
TCC processes personal data under applicable data-protection law, its Privacy Policy and any transaction-specific privacy notice. The Contracting Entity will ordinarily be responsible for data connected with the Sale Contract, while another Group company may act as controller, joint controller, processor, data intermediary or service provider depending on the activity.
Data may include contact and identification details, verification information, Account and bidding records, purchases and invoices, payment and refund information, source-of-funds and beneficial-ownership information, shipping, customs and tax data, communications, complaints, device and security data, and information from public records, platforms and compliance providers.
TCC may process data to administer Accounts, Auctions and Sale Contracts; invoice and process payments; verify identity, authority, ownership and funds; perform compliance, sanctions and fraud checks; arrange grading, storage, shipping, customs, collection and delivery; communicate and handle complaints; protect systems and customers; maintain legal, tax and audit records; and establish, exercise or defend claims.
Depending on applicable law, processing may rely on contract, legal obligation, legitimate interests, consent, fraud prevention or another lawful basis. Agreement to these Sale Terms is not blanket consent. TCC may share necessary data with Group companies, Sellers, platforms, banks, verification and fraud providers, Carriers, graders, storage providers, insurers, customs and tax bodies, advisers, debt-recovery providers, regulators, courts and authorities.
Data may be transferred internationally, including among the United Kingdom, Greece and Singapore, using a lawful transfer mechanism where required. TCC will retain data only as long as reasonably necessary for contractual, legal, tax, anti-money laundering, provenance, security, dispute and claim purposes and will maintain reasonable security measures.
Individuals may have rights of information, access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, consent withdrawal, automated-decision review and complaint, subject to applicable conditions and exemptions. Detailed information, contacts, retention and transfer arrangements are set out in TCC's Privacy Policy.
23. GENERAL PROVISIONS
The Sale Contract consists of these Sale Terms, the Auction Terms where applicable, the Auction Notice and registration information, the invoice, order confirmation, quotation or sales agreement, and any expressly incorporated correction or additional term. The priority rule in Section 1 applies. For Business Buyers, this is the entire agreement, without excluding fraud. For Consumers, legally binding pre-contract statements remain unaffected.
TCC may update these Sale Terms, but the version applying is ordinarily the version available when the Buyer bids, orders or contracts. A later change will not materially alter an existing Sale Contract unless agreed, legally required, administrative and non-disadvantageous, or otherwise permitted by law. An individual transaction may be varied only by an authorised written agreement or a valid pre-contract Auction announcement.
The Buyer may not assign or transfer the Sale Contract without TCC's written approval, except where law does not permit restriction. The Contracting Entity may transfer rights or obligations to a Group company, business successor or purchaser, or assign a debt or claim, provided this does not materially reduce mandatory Consumer rights. TCC may use subcontractors while remaining responsible for obligations that law or contract requires it to ensure.
Nothing creates a partnership, joint venture, employment relationship or general agency between the Buyer and TCC. A Seller, and a Group company, employee, Auctioneer, agent or provider expressly protected by a term, may rely on that term to the extent permitted by law; otherwise a non-party has no enforcement right.
If a provision is invalid, unlawful, unfair or unenforceable, the remainder continues and the affected provision is removed or modified only to the minimum lawful extent. A delay or failure to exercise a right is not a waiver. Rights and remedies are cumulative but there is no double recovery.
Electronic records, signatures, online acceptance, Bids and Account actions may evidence and bind the parties where permitted by law. TCC may retain transaction, bidding, payment, delivery, compliance and complaint records and rely on them subject to proof of inaccuracy.
The authoritative language is English unless a Contracting Entity expressly adopts another version. A convenience translation does not prevail over English except where law or an express agreement requires. Provisions intended to survive completion or cancellation, including payment, title, authenticity, privacy, liability, governing law and accrued rights, remain effective.
24. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
The governing law and courts depend on the Contracting Entity and apply to contractual and connected non-contractual disputes unless transaction documents expressly state otherwise.
For TCC Auctions Ltd, TCC Ancients Ltd and TCC Direct Ltd, the Sale Contract is governed by the law of England and Wales. For Business Buyers, the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
For TCC Greece I.K.E., the Sale Contract is governed by Greek law. For Business Buyers, the competent courts of Athens, Greece have exclusive jurisdiction.
For TCC Asia Pte. Ltd., the Sale Contract is governed by Singapore law. For Business Buyers, the courts of Singapore have exclusive jurisdiction.
For a Consumer, the choice of law does not remove mandatory protections applicable under the law of the Consumer's habitual residence where those protections apply. Consumers may bring or defend proceedings in any court permitted by mandatory consumer-jurisdiction rules, and exclusive-jurisdiction wording applies only to the lawful extent.
Either party may seek urgent interim or protective measures from a competent court, and a final judgment may be recognised or enforced wherever lawfully available. The parties may agree to negotiation, mediation or another dispute-resolution method without preventing urgent relief or mandatory court rights. Overriding sanctions, customs, cultural-property, anti-money laundering and public-policy rules continue to apply.
25. CONTACT AND COMPANY INFORMATION
The Buyer should contact the relevant Contracting Entity using the details on the invoice, order confirmation, Auction Notice, sales agreement or TCC Website and quote the relevant Account, invoice, order or Lot reference. Formal notices are subject to Section 21.
The Contracting Entity may be:

offer and sell the Goods to the underbidder, at the underbidder’s high bid (equal to one bid increment below the winning bid); or
offer and sell the Goods to any other bidder or Buyer TCC sees fit, at the underbidder’s high bid (equal to one bid increment below the winning bid);
11.3 The Seller is strictly prohibited from bidding on the Goods.

12.2 Notwithstanding Clause 12.1, TCC may withhold, suspend, defer, deduct, or set off any payment due to the Seller where:
For the purposes of any such investigation, TCC may rely on its own reasonable assessment and/or the opinion, report, or determination of any recognised third-party expert, grading company, authentication service, laboratory, consultant, auction house specialist, or other competent independent authority, including without limitation PCGS and NGC.
If, at any time before or after sale of any Goods by auction, private treaty, marketplace, direct sale, or otherwise, the Goods are determined by TCC, acting reasonably, or by any such recognised third party, not to comply with Clause 3, the Seller shall, on written demand, immediately reimburse TCC for any sums already paid, advanced, credited, or accounted to the Seller in respect of those Goods and shall indemnify TCC against any refund, repayment, loss, liability, claim, damage, cost, grading fee, shipping cost, insurance cost, expert fee, legal cost, or other expense reasonably incurred by TCC arising out of or in connection with such breach.
TCC may withhold, suspend, deduct, or set off any such sums against any monies otherwise due or becoming due to the Seller under this Agreement or under any other agreement, consignment, account, or arrangement between TCC and the Seller.
12.3 If items remain unpaid by the Buyer after 14 days, TCC shall have the right, without consent from the Seller, to sell the Goods to another buyer in any of the ways described in Clause 11.
12.4 If a Guarantee Price is agreed and:
For the avoidance of doubt, the Commission will be deducted from the Guarantee Price, so the amount paid to the Seller will be the Guarantee Price less Commission.
13.1 Each party undertakes that it shall not at any time disclose to any person any confidential information concerning the business, affairs, Buyers, clients or suppliers of the other party, except as permitted by clause 13.2.
13.2 Each party may disclose the other party's Confidential information:

15.1 In performing its obligations under the Agreement, TCC shall comply with all applicable laws, statutes, regulations from time to time in force
16.1 This Agreement shall begin upon the Commencement Date and shall continue for the Term, unless terminated earlier in accordance with clause 17. The Term expires early upon the sale of the Goods and payment of the Sale Price (in accordance with Clause 12) to the Seller for all of the Goods.
17.1 Without limiting its other rights or remedies, either party may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect by giving written notice to the other party if:
18.1 On termination or expiry of the Term, TCC shall:
18.2 On termination or expiry of the Term, the Seller shall within 10 Working Days repay any Advance Payment received by it for any Goods that have not been sold or paid for by the Buyer. TCC shall be entitled to withhold the return of such Goods until it has received in cleared funds repayment of any Advance Payment . If the Seller fails to repay the Advance Payment within the period stated above, TCC shall have the right, by giving the Seller 10 Working Days’ notice, to unilaterally change the terms of the Agreement such that the Reserve Price is equal to the Advance Payment plus the Commission.

6.2 No Interest Fees After Two Cycles: Where an item remains unsold after two (2) full auction cycles, the Consignor may at its discretion continue to relist the item for sale.
