We reserve the right to re-sell any or all the stored lots without prior notification and in the manner we choose. The proceeds obtained from such re-sale will then be allocated to offset the incurred storage costs. If there is a surplus amount after settling the costs, the Buyer can request the remaining balance. However, it's important to note that the Buyer will remain responsible for covering any shortfall that may arise. This policy ensures the efficient management of stored items and aids in recovering storage-related expenses while upholding transparency and fairness in our proceedings.<\/p> \n<p><br><\/p> \n<p>6. Upon your request, we will facilitate the delivery of the purchased Lots, contingent upon the payment of a mutually agreed-upon fee. While Lots in transit are not automatically insured, we can certainly arrange insurance if you, as the Buyer, provide a written request for such coverage. The delivery process will be executed by the terms established with you, the Buyer. This service will be available exclusively during our working days and hours immediately following the sale unless we communicate any alternative arrangements. This approach ensures that your purchased items are delivered securely and in line with your preferences, allowing for insurance coverage if desired.<\/p>"}},"house":{"country":"GB","feedUrl":"https://tools-bots.bidspirit.com/services/bots/houses/lautographe","code":"lautographe","address":{"en":"L'Autographe Auctions, 13 Hanover Square, London W1S 1HN, UK"},"name":{"en":"L'Autographe Auctions"},"region":"UK","url":"https://uk.bidspirit.com/ui/houses/lautographe"}}
