Morton & Eden Ltd.’s Authenticity Guarantee

If Morton & Eden Ltd. sells an item of

Property which is later shown to be a

“Counterfeit”, subject to the terms below

Morton & Eden Ltd. will rescind the sale and

refund the Buyer the total amount paid by

the Buyer to Morton & Eden Ltd. for that

Property, up to a maximum of the Purchase

Price.

The Guarantee lasts for two (2) years after

the date of the relevant auction, is for the

benefit of the Buyer only and is non-

transferable.

“Counterfeit” means an item of Property

that in Morton & Eden Ltd.’s reasonable

opinion is an imitation created with the intent

to deceive over the authorship, origin, date,

age, period, culture or source, where the

correct description of such matters is not

included in the catalogue description for the

Property.

Property shall not be considered Counterfeit

solely because of any damage and/or

restoration and/or modification work

(including, but not limited to, traces of

mounting, tooling or repatinating).

Please note that this Guarantee does not apply

if either:-

(i) the catalogue description was in

accordance with the generally accepted

opinions of scholars and experts at the date of

the sale, or the catalogue description indicated

that there was a conflict of such opinions; or

(ii) the only method of establishing at the date

of the sale that the item was a Counterfeit

would have been by means of processes not

then generally available or accepted,

unreasonably expensive or impractical; or

likely to have caused damage to or loss in

value to the Property (in Morton & Eden

Ltd.’s reasonable opinion); or

(iii) there has been no material loss in value of

the Property from its value had it accorded

with its catalogue description.

To claim under this Guarantee, the Buyer

must:-

(i) notify Morton & Eden Ltd. in writing

within one (1) month of receiving any

information that causes the Buyer to

question the authenticity or attribution of the

Property, specifying the lot number,

date of the auction at which it was

purchased and the reasons why it is believed to

be Counterfeit; and

(ii) return the Property to Morton

& Eden Ltd. in the same condition as at the

date of sale and be able to transfer good title in

the Property, free from any third party claims

arising after the date of the sale.

Morton & Eden Ltd. has discretion to waive

any of the above requirements. Morton &

Eden Ltd. may require the Buyer to obtain at

the Buyer's cost the reports of two

independent and recognised experts in the

relevant field and acceptable to Morton &

Eden Ltd. Morton & Eden Ltd. shall not be

bound by any reports produced by the Buyer,

and reserves the right to seek additional

expert advice at its own expense. In the

event Morton & Eden Ltd. decides to rescind

the sale under this Guarantee, it may refund

to the Buyer the reasonable costs of up to

two mutually approved independent expert

reports, provided always that the costs of

such reports have been approved in advance

and in writing by Morton & Eden Ltd.
