Claims regarding the quality of purchased lots after the auction will not be accepted.

The auction organizer reserves the right to withdraw any lot from auction without giving reasons. When putting a lot up for auction, the auctioneer announces its number, name and starting price. The starting price is usually equal to the lower limit of the valuation of a given lot, but the auctioneer, at his discretion, can adjust the starting price and the price increase step at the auction.
3.4. To participate in the auction, the Auction Organizer may require the bidder to make a deposit in the established amount. A first-time auction participant is admitted to the auction after making a deposit. At the same time, the paid deposit is counted towards the cost of the purchased lot; in case of refusal to participate in the auction, or if the purchase does not take place, it is returned to the participant. Cash deposit must be paid prior to bidding.
3.4.1. For online auction participants registered for the first time (Bidspirit system), the total monetary limit for purchasing lots at the first auction is 30,000 rubles. When making a deposit of 30,000 rubles, the limit on purchasing lots increases to 300,000 rubles. If a participant who has registered online for the first time plans to make purchases at an auction in an amount exceeding the established limit of 300,000 rubles, the Auction Organizer has the right to ask for a cash deposit, the amount of which is set depending on the size of the expected limit. The deposit for participation in the auction for first-time registered online participants must be paid no later than 2 (Two) hours before the start of the auction. For the first time, a registered Internet participant, after purchasing the won lots, is allowed to participate in the auction without a deposit.
3.5 Auction participants can take part in it in person, in absentia and by telephone, through the Bidspirit system.
3.5.1. To participate in the auction in person, you must register before the start of the auction and receive a number card. The participant's number card is the only evidence confirming the right to participate in the auction. If a member allows a third party to own his card, he is responsible for the actions of that person as if they were his own.
3.5.2. If a person wishing to take part in the auction cannot attend it in person, he can take part in the auction by telephone. To do this, you must leave an application for participation in the auction on the application form for participation in the auction by phone, indicating the numbers and names of the selected lots. Those bidding by telephone will be assigned a code number, which is the equivalent of a number card. Before the start of bidding on the lots he has chosen, the participant will be contacted by a gallery employee at the specified telephone number, who will represent his interests during the auction. The auction organizer cannot be held responsible for failure to fulfill telephone orders during the auction caused by various circumstances, for example, loss of communication with subscribers during the auction, etc. By sending an application to participate in telephone auctions, a person confirms his irrevocable obligation to promptly pay for the lot purchased during the auction.
3.5.3. If a person wishes to take part in the auction, but is unable to attend in person or by telephone, he can leave an absentee bid to the Gallery staff. To do this, you must fill out an application, which indicates the numbers and names of the lots, as well as the maximum price that the participant is willing to pay for each of them. The application form is available on the website. If an absentee bid is left for the lot, the auctioneer reports this fact. If two orders with the same price offers are received for the same lot, and these offers are the highest, then the participant whose order was received first is considered the winner. The gallery employee will do everything possible to purchase the lot specified by the absentee participant at the minimum price.
3.6. Registration of participants taking part in auctions in absentia, by telephone or through the Bidspirit system ends 2 (Two) hours before the start of the auction.
3.7. Raising a number card by an auction participant means the participant’s unconditional and irrevocable consent to buy the lot put up for auction at the announced price. Each subsequent raising of cards by participants means agreement to purchase the lot at a price one step higher than the last named price. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer, the increment by which the price of a lot increases during bidding is approximately 10%. The auctioneer has the right to establish a different step during the auction by announcing this to the auction participants. During the auction, an auction participant may make an offer to purchase a lot at an arbitrary price that is more than one step higher than the previous offer. In this case, further calculation is based on the price offered by the participant. Bidding for individual lots can be carried out by the auctioneer using the “Dutch system”, about which the auctioneer warns auction participants in advance. In this case, the starting price announced by the auctioneer is lowered by him until one of the auction participants raises a card. The first auction participant to raise the card is considered the purchaser of the lot. With the blow of the auctioneer's hammer, the Buyer and the highest price for the lot sold are determined. The winner is the participant identified by the auctioneer as the last one to raise the number card, or as the winner of a certain amount of the absentee bid. The auctioneer announces the winner for this lot. From this moment on, the purchase and sale transaction is considered completed; refusal from it or putting forward any additional conditions and objections is impossible. If no number card is raised for the lot being traded and there are no absentee orders, it is removed from the auction. Lots removed from sale can be purchased within 24 hours after the end of the auction if the Buyer's new offer suits the seller. "Gallery SOVKOM" acts as a commission agent in this case and, in the case of a post-auction transaction, receives a commission, negotiating it when concluding a post-auction agreement.
