Aucune réclamation ne sera recevable dès l’adjudication prononcée, les expositions successives permettant aux acquéreurs de constater l’état des objets présentés.
L’adjudicataire sera le plus offrant et dernier enchérisseur et aura pour obligation de remettre ses nom et adresse. En cas de contestation au moment des adjudications, c’est-à-dire s’il est établi que deux ou plusieurs enchérisseurs ont simultanément porté une enchère équivalente, soit à haute voix, soit par signe, et réclament en même temps cet objet après le prononcé du mot « adjugé », ledit objet sera immédiatement remis en adjudication au prix proposé par les enchérisseurs et tout le public sera admis à enchérir à nouveau.
Les éventuelles modifications aux conditions de vente ou aux descriptions du catalogue seront annoncées verbalement pendant la vente et notées sur le procès-verbal.

Les ordres d’achat ou les enchères par téléphone sont une facilité pour les clients. ADER n’est pas responsable pour avoir manqué d’exécuter un ordre par erreur ou pour toute autre cause. Merci de vérifier après envoi que votre ordre d’achat a été dûment enregistré.
La maison de ventes se réserve le droit de ne pas enregistrer l’ordre d’achat s’il n’est pas complet ou si elle considère que le client n’apporte pas toutes les garanties pour la sécurité des transactions ; et ce, sans recours possible.
Pour garantir la bonne volonté de l’acheteur, une consignation pourra être demandée avant la vente qui ne sera validée qu’en cas d’adjudication.
