VAT) and the attribution of this sum to the auctioned item by Koller. 8.2 During the aforementioned period, Koller shall be liable for loss, theft, damage or destruction of items which have been auctioned and paid for, although solely due to intentional or grossly negligent acts on the part of Koller, and onlyup to the total of theauctionprice, surcharge and VAT.

If Koller does not receive payment for purchases within seven (7) days following the auction, Koller reserves the right to charge the Purchaser’s credit card for the full amount of the invoice, without further notification to the Purchaser. In such cases the credit card processing fees of 2–4% as described above are also applicable, and will be charged to the Purchaser’s credit card. 9.3 If the Purchaser does not pay or does not pay promptly, Koller may moreover in its own name and in the Seller›s name either (i) insist on the fulfilment of the purchase agreement or (ii) without further notice withdraw from the purchase agreement and waive the subsequent performance of the Purchaser or assert a claim for compensation for non-performance; in the latter case Koller shall also be entitled, irrespective of any minimum sales price, to sell the item either directly or in an auction, and may use the proceeds to reduce the debts of the Purchaser. Any amount realised above the original hammer price shall be paid out to the Seller. The Purchaser is liable to Koller and the Seller for all prejudice caused by non-payment or late payment. 9.4 Koller retains a right of retention and a lien on all the Purchaser›s items in its custody until full payment of all monies owed.
