Furthermore, the Buyer should note that this refund can be obtained only if

circumstances shall we be required to pay the Buyer any more than the
amount paid by him for the Lot concerned and the Buyer shall have no

transferred, and is solely for the benefit of the person to whom the original
invoice was made out by us in respect of the Lot when sold and who,
since the sale, has remained the owner of the Lot without disposing of any
interest in it to any third party. We shall be entitled to rely on any scientific
or other process to establish that the Lot is not a Forgery, whether or not
such process was used or in use at the date of the auction.
