BUYER’S PREMIUMBuyers shall pay to Empire Wine Auctions a buyer’s premium of 15% of the hammer price plus GST on the premium.The sale is subject to the Conditions of Business printed elsewhere in this catalogue.

Condition of wineGoods are described as accurately as can be ascertained by Empire Wine Auctions at the time, however Buyers of older wine must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullage and the condition of corks and labels.

Each Lot is sold by the Seller with all faults and defects (if any) and with all errors of description and shall be at the Buyer’s risk on the fall of the hammer and neither Empire Wine Auctions nor the Seller shall be accountable for any deficiency, damage or loss which may arise thereafter.

BIDDINGAll bids and price estimates are per bottle (excepting sets), not per lot. For example if you make a bid of $10 per bottle on a lot containing 12 bottles you are making a total bid of $120. All prices are in Australian dollars. Successful bids attract a 15% Buyer’s Premium plus GST (only on the BP). Bidding is per bottle and you must take the entire lot on offer unless the auctioneer states otherwise. All wines are checked prior to consignment.

PaymentPayment is by Credit Card (Visa/MasterCard), PayPal or Money Transfer.

Payment must be cleared prior to the dispatch of wine and is due at the end of the week of the sale, at thelatest. By placing a bid, you are committing to the purchase of an item, and are therefore entering into a binding agreement to purchase.
