General Sales Terms and Conditions 

Catalogue

  1. All dimensions and weight are approximate.
  2. Apart from reading the lot description in the catalogue, the buyer can ask for further information of the lots from Time Warp Fine Art Limited (hereinafter known as “Time Warp” "we", "our" or "us").

Condition of Lots

  1. All lots are sold to buyers on "AS IS" basis, with all existing defects and imperfections, without warranty or guaranty of any kind. Time Warp explicitly draws your attention to the fact that all lots are offered as collector’s vintage items and that the sales of them gives rise to neither warranty nor responsibility for any visible or invisible defects whatsoever.
  2. Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers make the purchase on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing, neither we nor our employees, or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded.
  3. Time Warp has taken all reasonable care to describe the condition of the lots in the catalogue as accurate as possible. The rating of condition and description of each lot are given by the assessors of Time Warp at their best knowledge. However, all buyers are advised not to entirely rely on the full description of the condition of lots. They must rely solely on their own knowledge in determining such issues as age, quality, character, physical condition, mechanical and electrical function and rarity, etc.
  4. The historical background in relation to the lots shall not be reckoned as part of the lot description. All buyers are advised to conduct their own adequate research on the background history of the lots before making the purchase. 

Withdrawal of Lots

  1. Time Warp reserves, in its unfettered discretion, the right to withdraw any lots in this website.

Payment

  1. Time Warp accepts payment by cash, cheque, bankdraft, bank transfer or tele-transfer. All bank charges in relation to the payment are solely borne by the buyers. Payment must be settled in Hong Kong dollars. Cheques should be drawn on a bank account in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and made payable to “Time Warp Fine Art Limited”. It will be necessary to allow at least two working days for the cheque to clear before collecting the lots.
  2. Buyers will receive possession of the lots only when payment has been made in full and all funds have been cleared. Title and risk of loss will pass to the successful bidders when the successful bidders have taken possession of the lots.

Collection of Lots

  1. Time Warp will not provide any delivery service. It is the buyers’ responsibility to collect the lots and make all shipping arrangements. 
  2. Buyers can either collect the lots in person or authorise any third parties such as courier to collect the lots.

Any denial of or delay in licence applications shall not justify the rescission of any sale nor any delay in making full payment or item pick up.
