Such property is identified in the catalogue with the symbol Δ next to the lot number. On occasion, Poly Auction (Hong Kong) has a direct financial interest in lots consigned for sale which may include guaranteeing a minimum price or making an advance to the consignor that is secured solely by consigned property. Such property is identified in the catalogue by the symbol □ next to the lot number. This symbol will be used both in cases where Poly Auction (Hong Kong) holds the financial interest on its own, and in cases where Poly Auction (Hong Kong) has financed all or a part of such interest through a third party. Such third parties generally benefit financially if a guaranteed lot is sold successfully and may incur a loss if the sale is not successful. The financing offered by a third party may be in the form of an irrevocable bid provided by that third party. Where Poly Auction (Hong Kong) has an ownership or financial interest in every lot in the catalogue, Poly Auction (Hong Kong) will not designate each lot with a □ symbol, but will state its interest at the front of the catalogue. 所有量度皆為約數及狀況報告 保利香港拍賣目錄只會在多類型作品（例如印刷品、書本、 酒類及茶葉）的描述中提及狀況事宜。至於其他所有拍賣品， 除列明重整或替換部分外，均無其他狀況聲明。如欲索取某 拍賣品的狀況報告，請與專家聯絡。狀況報告乃保利香港拍 賣向有興趣客戶提供的一項服務。準買家應注意每項拍賣品 均以現狀出售，拍賣品的描述並不可作保證。 ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE APPROXIMATES AND CONDITION REPORTS Poly Auction (Hong Kong) catalogues include references to condition only in descriptions of multiple works (such as prints, books, alcohol and tea).

分之一的保險費。如拍賣品未成交，賣家也應支付相當於保留價百分之 一（1%）的保險費。 第十五條 保險期間 如果拍賣品拍賣成交，保險期限至拍賣成交日起第三十日（含成交日） 終止或買家領取拍賣品之日終止（以二者中較早者為準）。如果拍賣品 拍賣未能成交，則保險期限至本公司發出領回拍賣品的通知之日起三十 日屆滿為止。 第十六條 賣家安排保險 如賣家以書面形式告知本公司不需投保其拍賣品，則風險由賣家自行承

凡屬因本公司為拍賣品所購保險承保範圍內的事件或災害所導致的拍 賣品毀損、滅失，應根據香港有關保險的法律和規定處理。本公司在向 保險公司進行理賠並獲得保險賠償後，將保險賠款扣除本公司費用（佣 金除外）的餘款支付給賣家。 第十九條 競投禁止 賣家不得競投自己委託本公司拍賣的物品也不得委託他人代為競投。唯 本公司有權代賣家以不超過保留價之價格參考競投。若違反本條規定， 賣家應自行承擔相應之法律責任，並賠償因此給本公司造成的全部損 失。 第二十條 佣金及費用 除賣家與本公司另有約定外，賣家授權本公司按落槌價之百分之十 （10%）扣除佣金，同時扣除其它各項費用。儘管本公司是賣家的代理 人，但賣家同意本公司可根據本規則第四十九條的規定向買家收取佣金 及其它各項費用。 第二十一條 未成交手續費 如果某拍賣品的競投價低於保留價而未能成交，則賣家授權本公司向其

賣家稅項 賣家所得的出售所得款項淨額應向政府納稅，如有關法律規定本公司有 代扣代繳義務的，本公司將依照法律規定執行，賣家應協助辦理所有手 續，並承擔相應稅費。 第二十五條 協助收取拖欠款項 賣家在委託本公司拍賣其物品的同時，被視為授權本公司有權代賣家向買 家追索相應拖欠價款。如買家在拍賣成交日（含成交日）起七日內未向本公 司付清全部購買價款，本公司除有權按照本規則第五十八條之約定向買家 追索其應付的佣金及其他各項費用外，亦有權在本公司認為實際可行的情 況下，採取適當措施（包括但不限於通過法律途徑解決）協助賣家向買家 收取拖欠的款項。上述約定並不排除賣家親自或委託任何第三方向買家追 索相應拖欠款項的權利，亦不賦予本公司在任何情況下代賣家向買家追索 相應拖欠價款的義務。本公司在任何情況下不應因買家未能支付購買價款 而向賣家承擔相應責任。 第二十六條 本公司有權決定

並代為出售，本公司支付賣家不少於以新的保留價出售時應支付的出售 所得款項淨額。 二、如拍賣品未能經拍賣會或按照上文第 1 款的規定由本公司代為出售 而成交，本公司將通知賣家。在上文第 27.1 條規限下，未能成交的拍賣 品可委託本公司根據原委託拍賣合同之佣金及費用標準重新上拍，或可 由賣家取回。如賣家決定取回未能成交的拍賣品，本公司可根據委託拍 賣合同向賣家收取適用於該未能成交的拍賣品的佣金及費用。 三、如賣家未有在拍賣會起計三十日內委託本公司重新拍賣該拍賣品， 亦未有取回該拍賣品，本公司對該拍賣品可能負有的任何委託保管責任 均會解除，並有權按其絕對酌情權（i）將該拍賣品儲存於獨立貯存設施， 有關風險及開支（包括儲存費、保險費及其他合理開支）由賣家承擔；或 （ii）安排該拍賣品在（本公司或其他地方的）公開拍賣會重新上拍，保

（本公司或其他地方的）拍賣會出售該財產，估價及保留價由本公司酌 情決定。 六、任何未拍出的拍賣品重新上拍，或出售任何未有被取回的拍賣品， 均須按照本業務規則中適用於有關拍賣會的規定進行。出售上述拍賣 品所得款項（扣除本公司產生的所有成本），如賣家沒有在出售後兩年 內收取，則會被沒收。 第二十八條 風險承擔 無論是未上拍或未能成交的拍賣品，賣家均應對其超過本規則規定期 限未能取回其拍賣品而在該期限後所發生之一切風險及費用自行承擔 責任。自本公司向賣家發出領回拍賣品的通知之日（含通知日）起第三十 日，或自委託人按本規則約定領取拍賣品之時（以先到者為準），未上拍 或未能成交拍賣品的一切風險及費用由賣家承擔。如賣家在本規則規 定期限內要求本公司協助其退回拍賣品並經本公司同意，拍賣品自離開 本公司指定地點後的一切風險及費用由賣家承擔。除非賣家特別指明並 預先支付保險費，本公司無義務對拍賣品在離開本公司指定地點後予以 投保。如賣家要求本公司協助以郵寄、快遞或其他通過第三方的運輸方 式退回其拍賣品，一旦本公司將拍賣品交付郵寄、快遞、運輸部門、公司 或其雇員分支機構，則視為本公司已退回該拍賣品，同時應視為賣家已 領取該拍賣品。 第三章 關於競投人與買家 第二十九條 競投人及本公司有關出售拍賣品之責任 ( 一 ) 本公司對各拍賣品之認知部分依賴於賣家提供之資料，本公司無 法及不會就拍賣品進行全面盡職檢查。競投人知悉此事，並承擔檢查及 檢驗拍賣品原物之責任，以使競投人滿意其可能感興趣之拍賣品。 ( 二 ) 本公司出售之各拍賣品於出售前可供競投人審看。競投人及 / 或 其代理人參與競投，即視為競投人已在競投前全面檢驗拍賣品，並滿意 拍賣品之狀況及其描述之準確性。 ( 三 ) 競投人確認眾多拍賣品年代久遠及種類特殊，意味拍賣品並非完 好無缺。所有拍賣品均以拍賣時之狀態出售 ( 無論競投人是否出席拍 賣 )。狀況報告或可於審看拍賣品時提供。圖錄描述及狀況報告在若干 情況下可用作拍賣品某些瑕疵之參考。然而，競投人應注意拍賣品可能 存在其他在圖錄或狀況報告內並無明確指出之瑕疵。 ( 四 ) 提供予競投人有關任何拍賣品之資料，包括任何預測資料 ( 無論 為書面或口述 ) 及包括任何圖錄所載之資料、規則或其他報告、評論或 估值，該等資料並非事實之陳述，而是本公司所持有之意見之聲明，該 等資料可由本公司不時全權酌情決定修改。 ( 五 ) 本公司或賣家概無就任何拍賣品是否受任何版權所限或買家是否 已購買任何拍賣品之版權發出任何聲明或保證。 ( 六 ) 受本規則第二十九 ( 一 ) 至二十九 ( 五 ) 條所載事項所規限及本規 則第三十條所載特定豁免所規限，本公司應基於 (1) 賣家向本公司提供 的資料；(2) 學術及技術知識（如有）；及 (3) 相關專家普遍接納之意見， 以合理審慎態度發表（且與本規則中有關本公司作為拍賣代理的條款 相符）載於圖錄描述或狀況報告之明示聲明。 第三十條 對買家之責任豁免及限制 ( 一 ) 如本公司視拍賣品為贋品，將落槌價連同買家佣金退還予買家。 ( 二 ) 受本規則第二十九條之事項所規限及受規則第三十 ( 一 ) 及三十 ( 五 ) 條所規限，本公司無須： (1)對本公司向競投人以口述或書面提供之資料之任何錯誤或遺漏負責， 無論是由於疏忽或因其他原因引致，惟本規則第二十九 ( 六 ) 條所載者 則除外； (2) 向競投人作出任何擔保或保證，且賣家委託本公司向買家作出之明 示保證以外之任何暗示保證及規則均被排除（惟法律規定不可免除之 該等責任除外）； (3) 就本公司有關拍賣或有關出售任何拍賣品之任何事宜之行動或遺漏（無 論是由於疏忽或其他原因引致）向任何競投人負責。 ( 三 ) 除非本公司擁有出售之拍賣品，否則無須就賣家違反本規則而負責。 ( 四 ) 在不影響規則第三十 ( 二 ) 條之情況下，競投人向本公司或賣家提 出之任何索賠以該拍賣品之落槌價連同買家佣金為限。本公司或賣家在 任何情況下均無須承擔買家任何相應而產生的損失。 第三十一條 拍賣品圖錄及其他說明 為便於競投人及賣家參加本公司舉辦的拍賣活動，本公司製作拍賣品圖 錄，以文字及 / 或圖片的形式，對拍賣品之狀況進行簡要陳述。拍賣品圖 錄中的文字、估價，圖片或其它形式的影像製品和宣傳品，僅供競投人參 考，並可於拍賣前修訂，不表明本公司對拍賣品的真實性、價值、色調、質 地有無缺陷等所作的擔保。 第三十二條 圖錄之不確定性 因印刷或攝影等技術原因造成拍賣品在圖錄及 / 或其它任何形式的圖示， 影像製品和宣傳品中的色調、顏色、層次、形態等與原物存在誤差者，以 原物為準。本公司及其工作人員或其代理人對任何拍賣品用任何方式（包 括證書、圖錄、幻燈投影、新聞載體等）所作的介紹及評價，均為參考性 意見，不構成對拍賣品的任何擔保。本公司及其工作人員或其代理人對上 述之介紹及評價中的不準確或遺漏之處不承擔責任。 第三十三條 保留價及估價 凡本公司拍賣品未標明或未標明無保留價的，均設有保留價。保留價一般不高 於本公司於拍賣前公佈或刊發的拍賣前最低估價。如拍賣品未設保留價，除非 已有競投，否則拍賣官有權自行決定起拍價，但不得高於拍賣品的拍賣前最低 估價。 在任何情況下，本公司不對拍賣品在本公司舉辦的拍賣會中未達保留價不成 交而承擔任何責任。若拍賣品競投價格低於保留價，拍賣官有權自行決定以 低於保留價的價格出售拍賣品。但在此種情況下，本公司向賣家支付之款項 為按保留價出售拍賣品時賣家應可收取之數額。估價在拍賣日前較早時間 估定並非確定之售價，不具有法律約束力。任何估價不能作為拍賣品落槌價 之預測，且本公司有權不時修訂已作出之估價。 第三十四條 競投人之審看責任 競投人及 / 或其代理人有責任自行瞭解有關拍賣品的實際狀況並對自己 競投某拍賣品的行為承擔法律責任。本公司鄭重建議，競投人應在拍賣 日前，以鑒定或其它方式親自審看擬競投拍賣品之原物，自行判斷該拍賣 品是否與本公司拍賣品圖錄以及其它形式的影像製品和宣傳品所描述相 符合，而不應依圖錄及影像製品和宣傳品的描述做出決定。 第三十五條 競投人登記 競投人為個人的應在拍賣日前憑政府發出附有照片的身份證明文件（如 居民身份證或護照）填寫並簽署登記文件並提供現時住址證明（如公用

公司只會向競投人收取款項。 第四十一條 委託競投 競投人應親自出席拍賣會。如不能親身出席或由代理人出席，可採用書 面形式委託本公司代為競投或電話競投。本公司有權決定是否接受上述 委託。 委託本公司競投之競投人應在規定時間內（不遲於拍賣日前三個工作日） 辦理委託手續，向本公司出具填妥的本公司委託競投表格，並應根據本規 則規定同時交納競投保證金。

應立即以本公司認可的書面方式變更委託競投表格中填寫的即時通訊方 式。 在本公司受託競投期間會盡適當努力聯絡競投人，而該即時通訊工具所 傳達之競投資訊（無論是否競投人本人或競投人的代理人傳達），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委託競投表格中填寫的即時通訊方式， 本公司有絕對權利對所有電話競投錄音和保存。選擇電話競投即代表競 投人同意其電話被錄音。 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 何錯誤或遺漏，本公司均不負任何責任。 第四十三條 委託競投之免責 鑒於委託競投是本公司為競投人提供的代為傳遞競投資訊的免費服務， 本公司及其工作人員對競投未成功或代理競投過程中出現的任何錯誤、 遺漏、疏忽、過失或無法代為競投等不承擔任何責任。 第四十四條 委託在先原則 若兩個或兩個以上委託本公司競投之競投人以相同委託價對同一拍賣品 出價且最終拍賣品以該價格落槌成交，則最先將委託競投表格送達本公 司者為該拍賣品的買家。 第四十五條 拍賣官之決定權 拍賣官對下列事項具有絕對決定權： ( 一 ) 拒絕或接受任何競投； ( 二 ) 以其決定之方式進行拍賣； ( 三 ) 將任何拍賣品撤回或分開拍賣或將任何兩件或多件拍賣品合併拍 賣； ( 四 )

就不設保留價的拍賣品，除非已有競投，否則拍賣官有權自行斟酌決定開 價。若在此價格下並無競投，拍賣官會自行斟酌將價格下降繼續拍賣，直 至有競投人開始競投，然後再由該競投價向上繼續拍賣。 第四十七條 影像顯示板及貨幣兌換顯示板 本公司為方便競投人，可能於拍賣中使用影像投射或其他形式的顯示板， 所示內容僅供參考。無論影像投射或其他形式的顯示板所示之數額、拍 賣品編號、拍賣品圖片或參考外匯金額等資訊均有可能出現誤差，本公司 對因此誤差而導致的任何損失不承擔任何責任。 第四十八條 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 之間的拍賣合約之訂立。 第四十九條 佣金及費用 競投人競投成功後，即成為該拍賣品的買家。買家應支付本公司相當於 落槌價百分之二十的佣金，同時應支付其他買家負責的各項費用。且本公 司可根據本公司業務規則的規定向賣家收取佣金及其他賣家負責的各項 費用。 第五十條 稅項 買家向本公司支付的所有款項均應是淨額的，不得包括任何貨物稅、服務 稅或者其他增值稅（不論是由香港或其他地區所徵收）。如有任何適用於 買家的稅費，買家應根據現行相關法律規定自行負擔。 第五十一條 付款時間 拍賣成交後，除非另有約定，否則不論拍賣品之出口、進口或其他許可證之 任何規定，買家應自拍賣成交日（含成交日）起七日內向本公司付清購買價 款並安排提取拍賣品。若涉及包裝及搬運費用運輸及保險費用、出境費等， 買家需一並支付。 第五十二條 支付幣種 所有價款應以港幣支付。如買家以港幣以外的其他貨幣支付，應按買家與 本公司約定的匯價折算或按照本公司選擇之銀行於買家付款日前一個工 作日公佈的港幣與該幣種的匯價折算。本公司為將買家所支付之該種外 幣兌換成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。 第五十三條 所有權轉移 拍賣品的所有權將在買家付清購買價款及欠付本公司的所有款項時，轉移給 買家。 第五十四條 風險轉移 競投成功後，拍賣品的風險於下列任何一種情形發生後（以較早發生日期 為準）即由買家自行承擔： ( 一 ) 買家提取所購拍賣品； ( 二 ) 買家向本公司支付有關拍賣品的全部購買價款； ( 三 ) 拍賣成交日（含成交日）起七日屆滿。 第五十五條 提取拍賣品 買家須在拍賣成交日（含成交日）起三十日內前往本公司地址或本公司指定 之其他地點提取所購買的拍賣品。買家須自行負責於風險轉移至買家後為 所購拍賣品購買保險。若買家未能在拍賣成交日（含成交日）起三十日內提 取拍賣品，則逾期後對該拍賣品的相關保管、搬運、保險等費用均由買家承 擔，且買家應對其所購拍賣品承擔全部責任。逾期後，即使該拍賣品仍由本 公司或其他代理人代為保管，本公司及其工作人員或其代理人對任何原因所 致的該拍賣品的毀損、滅失，不承擔任何責任。 第五十六條 包裝及付運 本公司有權決定是否接受買家要求，提供代為包裝及處理的服務。如果 本公司工作人員應買家要求代為包裝及處理購買的拍賣品，上述包裝及 處理僅應視為本公司對買家提供的服務，因此發生的任何風險及損失均 由買家自負。在任何情況下，本公司對因任何原因造成的框架或玻璃、囊 匣、底墊、支架、裝裱、插冊、軸頭或類似附屬物的損壞、滅失不負責任。 如買家要求本公司協助以郵寄、快遞或運輸方式領取其所購買的拍賣品 （包裝及郵遞、運輸費用由買受人負擔），一旦本公司將拍賣品交付郵寄、 快遞、運輸部門、公司或其雇員/分支機構，則視為本公司已交付該拍賣品， 同時應視為買家已按正常程序領取該拍賣品，此過程中的風險由買家承 擔，除非買家特別指明並負擔保險費外，在郵寄、快遞、運輸過程中一般 不予投保。對於買家指定或本公司向買家推薦的包裝公司及郵寄、快遞、 運輸部門或公司所造成的一切錯誤、遺漏、損壞或滅失，本公司不承擔責 任。 第五十七條 進出口及許可證 買家須自行負責取得任何有關拍賣品進出口、瀕臨絕種生物或其他方面 之許可證。未獲得任何所需之許可證或延誤取得該類許可證不可被視為 買家取消購買或延遲支付購買價款之理由。本公司不承擔因不能填妥或 呈交所需出口或進口貨單、清單或文件所產生之任何責任。 如買家要求本公司代其申請出口許可證，本公司則有權就此服務另行收取 服務費用。然而，本公司不保證出口許可證將獲發放。本公司及賣家概無 就任何拍賣品是否受進出口限制或任何禁運作出聲明或保證。 第五十八條 未付款之補救方法 若買家未按照本規則規定或未按照與本公司協議之任何付款安排足額付

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，欺騙作品出處、製造者、 原產地、日期、產出年數、年期、品種、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。 (二)除這條另有指明外，本保證所規定之期限為相關拍賣成交日後五年內， 純粹提供給買家之獨享利益，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 一個月內書面通知本公司註明拍賣品編號、拍賣成交日及被認為是膺品之 理由。有關中西名酒及茶葉拍賣品的通知期為一個星期內；將狀況與銷售 予買家當日相同，並能轉移其妥善所有權且自銷售日期後並無出現任何第 三方申索之拍賣品退還予本公司。 ( 三 ) 有關東南亞現代及當代藝術、中國油畫以及中國書畫，雖然目前學 術界不容許對此類別作出確實之說明，但本公司保留酌情權按本保證但 以拍賣成交日後一年內為限取消證實為膺品之東南亞現代及當代藝術、 中國油畫以及中國書畫拍賣品之交易；已付之款項按本條規定：退還予買 家，但買家必須在拍賣成交日起一年內向本公司提供證據（按本條第（二）、 （五）款規定的方式），證實該拍賣品為膺品； ( 四 ) 有關中西名酒、茶葉 , 本公司保留酌情權按本保證但以拍賣成交日後 二十一天內為限取消證實為膺品之中西名酒及茶葉拍賣品之交易；已付之 款項按本條規定：退還予買家，但買家必須在拍賣成交日起二十一天內向 本公司提供證據（按本條第（二）、（五）款規定的方式），證實該拍賣品為 膺品；

該拍賣品沒有缺陷、瑕疵或未經美化處理。 1. 有色寶石（如紅寶石、藍寶石、綠寶石及各類彩色寶石）可能經過美化 處理或改良外觀，包括加熱、上油及放射等。這些通常的方法已經為國際 珠寶行業所認可，但是經過處理的寶石的硬度可能會降低及／或在日後 需要特殊保養。 2. 本公司不會為每件寶石拍賣品申請專業機構鑒定報告。如某件拍賣品 已經從國際認可的寶石實驗室取得鑒定報告，本公司會於拍賣圖錄上詳 細載明。因各實驗室使用方法和技術的差異，對某寶石是否經過處理、處 理的程度或處理是否具有永久性，都可能持不同意見。本公司不會對各實 驗室出具的鑒定報告之準確性承擔責任。 3. 如果競投人要求提供指定實驗室的鑒定報告，請在拍賣日前至少 14 個工作天提出要求，本公司將會代為申請鑒定報告，而相應鑒定費用需由 競投人承擔。 4. 某件寶石拍賣品的估價乃就當刻已知悉之所有資料而作出，競投人應於 拍賣前自行審看拍賣品或就拍賣品做詳盡了解，競投人一旦做出競投，即 視為其接受該等拍賣品之全部現狀。 5. 本公司提醒競投人注意，源自緬甸的寶石或翡翠，可能會被某些國家 禁止進口。 ( 二 ) 鐘錶類拍賣品 1. 本公司已就某鐘錶拍賣品所知的現時狀況陳述於拍賣圖錄上，僅供競 投人參考。因多數鐘錶在此前使用期內都有被修理、保養等的經過，本公 司不保證任何鐘錶的任何零部件為原裝，可能存在沒有鐘擺、鐘槌或鑰 匙出售。 2. 鐘錶一般具有非常精細複雜的機械構造，可能需要一般的保養服務、 更換電池或進一步的修理工作，而這些都由買家負責。本公司不保證所拍 賣的任何鐘錶都是在良好運作狀態。除非圖錄中有提及，我們不提供證 書。 3. 多數鐘錶都有被打開查看機芯的型號及質量，因此帶有防水功能的錶 殼可能不足夠防水，本公司建議買家在使用前請專業鐘錶師事先檢驗。 第四章 其他 第六十二條 資料採集、錄影 就經營本公司的拍賣業務方面，本公司可能對任何拍賣過程進行錄音、錄影 及記錄，亦需要向競投人搜集個人資料或向第三方索取有關競投人的資料 （例如向銀行索取信用審核）。這些資料會由本公司處理並且保密，唯有關 資料有可能提供給本公司、本公司的分部、附屬公司、子公司以協助本公司為 競投人提供完善的服務、進行客戶分析，或以便提供符合競投人要求的服務。 為了競投人的權益，本公司亦可能需要向第三方服務供應商（例如船運公司 或存倉公司）提供競投人的部份個人資料。競投人參與本公司的拍賣，即表 示競投人同意上文所述。如競投人欲獲取或更改個人資料，請與客戶服務 部聯絡。 第六十三條 保密責任 本公司有義務為賣家、競投人及買家保守秘密，並根據香港法律和本規 則維護賣家、競投人、買家和本公司的正當權益不受侵害。 以下情況除 外︰ ( 一 ) 在合理需要下將資料轉交本公司任何關聯單位或人士，惟該單位或 人士需延續保密義務 ; ( 二 ) 按任何法院、司法機構、政府、銀行、稅務或其他監管機構要求，或 根據任何適用法律，向其或指定人披露信息 ; ( 三 ) 獲相關賣家、競投人、買家同意而披露信息。 第六十四條 鑒定權 如果本公司認為需要，可以對拍賣品進行鑒定。鑒定結論與委託拍賣合 同載明的拍賣品的狀況不符的，本公司有權要求變更或者解除委託拍賣 合同。 第六十五條 版權 賣家授權本公司對其委託本公司拍賣的任何拍賣品製作照片、圖示、圖錄 或其他形式的影像製品和宣傳品，本公司享有上述照片、圖示、圖錄或其他 形式的影像製品和宣傳品的版權。有權對其依法加以使用。未經本公司事 先書面同意，買家及任何人不得使用。本公司及賣家均並未作出拍賣品是 否受版權所限或買家是否取得拍賣品之任何版權的陳述及保證。 第六十六條 免除責任 本公司作為賣家的代理人，對賣家或買家的任何違約行為不承擔責任。在 賣家或買家出現違約行為的情況下，本公司有權根據自己的判斷決定向 賣家或買家披露另一方的名稱和地址，使受到損害的一方得以通過法律 訴訟獲得損害賠償。但是，本公司在向賣家或買家披露該等資料之前，將 採取合理步驟通知將被披露資料的一方。 買家及賣家均需承擔交易所涉及包括但不限於經濟、法律、稅務及結算等 的相關責任，並需確認交易不存在洗錢或利益輸送等不法行為。任何收、 付款指示必須清晰，如因賣家或買家管理不善而出現其帳戶被盜、款項 遭挪佔等不可預見的情況，一概後果與本公司無關。 第六十七條 通知 競投人及買家均應將其固定有效的通訊地址和聯絡方式以競投登記文 件或其他本公司認可的方式告知本公司，若有改變，應立即書面告知本公 司。 本規則中所提及之通知，僅指以信函或傳真形式發出的書面通知。該等 通知在下列時間視為送達： ( 一 ) 如是專人送達的，當送到有關方之地址時； ( 二 ) 如是以郵寄方式發出的，則為郵寄日之後第七天； ( 三 ) 如是以傳真方式發出的，當發送傳真機確認發出時。 第六十八條 可分割性 如本規則之任何條款或部分因任何理由被認定為無效、不合法或不可執 行，本規則其他條款或部分仍然有效，相關各方應當遵守、執行。 第六十九條 法律及管轄權 本規則及其相關事宜、交易、因依照本規則參加本公司拍賣活動而引起 或與之有關的任何爭議，均受香港法律規管並由香港法律解釋。本公司、 買家及競投人等相關各方均須服從香港法院之唯一管轄權。任何由香港 法院頒佈有關本規則所引起的爭議之判決亦可於中華人民共和國強制執 行。 第七十條 語言文本 本規則以中文為標準文本，英文文本為參考文本。 英文文本如與中文文本有任何不一致之處，以中文文本為準。 第七十一條 規則版權所有 本規則由本公司制訂和修改，相應版權歸本公司所有。未經本公司事先書 面許可，任何人不得以任何方式或手段，利用本規則獲取商業利益，亦不 得對本規則之任何部分進行複製、傳送或儲存於可檢索系統中。 第七十二條 適用時期 本規則只適用於本次拍賣，本公司可不時更新本規則，競投人和買家參與另 一次拍賣的時候應以當時適用的業務規則為準。 第七十三條 解釋權 本規則的解釋權由本公司行使。 CHAPTER I GENERAL RULES ARTICLE 1 POLY AUCTION (HONG KONG) LIMITED AS AGENT
