A Tenderer wishing to apply for 12 months interest-free finance in accordance with this provision 2 must apply for the facility and be approved by Art Money prior to making a bid and completing this Sealed Bid Tender Form. YD does not accept any responsibility with regard to any transaction entered into by a Tenderer and Art Money. Successful Tenderers are liable to settle their account of sale under the terms of this agreement regardless of obtaining finance or any other issue they may encounter.

The Tender Bids will be opened in the presence of Mr Ian Renwood, Partner & National Head of Technology Consulting at Grant Thornton, Australia at (date TBA) at the offices of YD, Level 7, 167 Macquarie Street, Sydney. The Tenderers and Vendors will then be advised of the results of the Public Tender.

4. The highest bid on each Lot that is equal to, or above, a reserve price (if applicable) will be automatically accepted and the relevant Tenderer advised accordingly. If a bid is less than a reserve (if applicable) then both the Tenderer and the Vendor will be advised accordingly and the parties invited to adjust their bid/s or reserve/s respectively. YD will first deal with the highest bidding Tenderer before reverting to any other Tenderers if applicable. However, if in the opinion of YD a sale is not achievable with the highest bidding Tenderer, YD may at its discretion commence discussions with other Tenderers or any other third party.

5. This sale of Australian Pink Diamonds is conducted by a Public Tender and YD will maintain confidential any information made available to it by a Vendor or a Tenderer.

Failure to settle a Tenderer’s account in full within 72 hours will be considered a breach of these Terms and Conditions of Business, and under these circumstances YD reserves the right to contact the under bidder and re-sell the Lot to them. Under these circumstances the initial Tenderer in breach will be required to pay any consequential damages incurred by YD or the Vendor or both.

15. To the best of its knowledge, YD considers that any certificates provided in relation to the Lots are genuine, unless advised otherwise.

However, YD cannot accept any responsibility for the accuracy of any report, statement or opinion by a third party as to origin, weight, grading, colour, provenance, clarity, shape and/or any other features of the Lots.

16. YD has used its best efforts to verify its catalogue descriptions subject to 15, above.
