Conditions of sale


Participation in sales organised by "Le Timbre Classique SA" means that you accept all of our
conditions below as well as the rights and obligations arising therefrom.
1. We guarantee the authenticity of individual lots (stamps, covers and related material
not limited to proofs, essays and specimens) for a period of 5 years. Lots composed
of several stamps or letters which are not individually described are specifically
excluded from this guarantee.
The submission of an offer on an individual lot with an expert's certificate or signature
signifies the buyer's acceptance of this expertise and excludes that lot from any
claims based on the opinion of another expert. If the buyer wants the advice of
another expert, he must inform us no later than the day of the sale.
1.1 The lots can be viewed either in our offices or at the place of sale, at the times
mentioned in the catalogue or on our website.
1.2 The customer is responsible for all damage caused while handling the stamps.
1.3 Only the customer registered with our company or their registered agent may
participate in our sales.
1.4 We may withdraw a lot or group two or more lots at any time.
1.5 We may at any time refuse the participation of a client in our sale or auction without
giving any justification.
2. The photos of the lots in our catalogues or on our site are part of the descriptions:
perforations, margins, centring, cancellations, colours, etc.
2.1 A reclamation (for an individual lot) concerning the quality, an error of description or
any other request, must be notified to us upon receipt of the goods, but always within
30 days after the sale. Otherwise, the customer loses the right to any return or
adjustment.
We do not accept reclamations about collections or lots made up of several stamps or
covers.
We do not accept a return of large or mixed lots if the buyer has had the opportunity
to examine them personally or through an agent.
We do not accept the return of a lot if it has been intentionally altered by the buyer.
2.2 Any request for an expertise (only for an individual lot) must be made during the sale,
or at most 2 weeks after the day of the sale. A return based on any expertise obtained
by the buyer upon receipt of his goods, but without our approval, will not be accepted.
3. All auction bids must be made in EUR (unless otherwise specified in the catalogues
and / or on the website).
 
3.1 Please respect the following increments for bids or offers:

the lot to the one that arrives first.

4. Payment for the goods: payment is due on the day of the sale.
4.1 We accept a payment delay only on lots to be expertised.

indicated or agreed by our company. The buyer will be responsible for any exchange
rate difference if he has not made an express request or agreement for the exchange
rate with our company.
