應妥善保管，不得將競投號牌出借他人使用。一旦丟失，應立即以本公
司認可的書面方式辦理掛失手續。
無論是否接受競投人的委託，凡持競投號牌者在拍賣活動中所實施的競
投行為均視為競投號牌登記人本人所為，競投人應當對其行為承擔法律
責任，除非競投號牌登記人本人已以本公司認可的書面方式，在本公司

物。處分留置物所得不足抵償買家應付本公司全部款項的，本公司有權
另行追索；

本公司知悉就拍賣品之買賣而言，是獨特和無可替代的，不論是賣方或
買方違約，一方向另一方支付損害賠償，均不是對守約方足夠的救濟。
因此，本公司、賣方和買方均同意，任何一方違約的，守約方可以向法
院申請強制履行的命令，要求違約方繼續履行其在本規則或其它相關文
件項下的義務。

價款後，方可提取拍賣品(包裝及搬運費用、運輸及保險費用、出境費等

司將取消該交易，並將買家就該拍賣品支付予本公司之落槌價連同買家
佣金，以原交易之貨幣退還予買家。
就此而言，根據本公司合理之意見，膺品指仿製品，故意隱瞞或欺騙作
品出處、原產地、產出年數、年期、文化或來源等各方面，而上述各
項之正確描述並無收錄於目錄內容(考慮任何專有詞彙)。拍賣品之任何
損毀及／或任何類型之復原品及／或修改品(包括重新塗漆或在其上塗
漆)，不應視為膺品。
謹請注意，如發生以下任何一種情況，本保證將不適用：
目錄內容乃根據學者及專家於銷售日期獲普遍接納之意見，或該目錄內
容顯示該等意見存在衝突；或
於銷售日期，證明該拍賣品乃膺品之唯一方法，並非當時普遍可用或認
可或價格極高或用途不切實際；或可能已對拍賣品造成損壞或可能(根據
本公司合理之意見)已令拍賣品喪失價值之方法；或
如根據拍賣品之描述，該拍賣品並無喪失任何重大價值。

享利益，且不可轉移至任何第三方。為能依據本保證申索，買家必須：
在收到任何導致買家質疑拍賣品之真偽或屬性之資料後三個月內以書面
通知本公司，註明拍賣品編號、購買該拍賣品之日期及被認為是膺品之
第十四條 以當事人身份競投
除非某競投人在拍賣日前向本公司出具書面證明並經本公司書面認可，
表明其身份是某競投人的代理人，否則每名競投人均被視為競投人本人。

投表格，並按本規則規定妥為交納競投保證金，方視為完成辦理委托競

達），均視為競投人本人所為，競投人應當對其行為承擔法律責任，除非
競投人本人已以本公司認可的書面方式變更了電話委託競投表格中填寫的
即時通訊方式。但在任何情況下，如未能聯絡，或在使用該即時通訊工具
的競投中有任何錯誤、中斷或遺漏，本公司均不負任何責任。
第十七條 電話委託競投之免責
鑒於電話委託競投是本公司為競投人提供的代為傳遞競投信息的免費服

差，本公司對因此誤差而導致的任何損失不承擔任何責任。
第二十一條 拍賣成交
最高競投價經拍賣官落槌或者以其他公開表示買定的方式確認時，該競
投人競投成功，即表明該競投人成為拍賣品的買家，亦表明賣家與買家
之間具法律約束力的拍賣合約之訂立。

港幣所引致之所有銀行手續費、佣金或其他費用，均由買家承擔。
第二十六條 所有權的轉移

(2) On the selling date, the only means of proving that the Auction Property in
