About these terms

This website at richardsandco.co.uk is operated by Richards & Co. Property Auctions Ltd (company number [12345678], registered office 14 Bedford Square, Bloomsbury, London WC1B 3RA). By accessing or using the site you agree to these terms of use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Bidding at our auctions is governed by a separate set of Conditions of Sale issued with each catalogue. Those conditions take precedence over anything on this website in respect of any specific lot or sale.

Information on the site

We take reasonable care to ensure that information published on the site is accurate and up-to-date, but the site is provided "as is" and we make no representations or warranties about its completeness, accuracy or fitness for purpose. Lot descriptions, guide prices, photographs and floorplans are intended only as a general indication; prospective buyers must satisfy themselves through inspection, survey and review of the legal pack before bidding.

Guide prices are an indication of the seller's expectations and are not a valuation. Reserves are confidential and are not published.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the site for any unlawful, fraudulent or harmful purpose.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site or any system connected to it.
  • Introduce viruses, trojans, worms or any other material which is malicious or technologically harmful.
  • Scrape, copy or republish content from the site without our written permission.
  • Use the site in a manner which could disable, overburden or impair its operation.

All content on the site — including the Richards & Co. name, logo, photography, copy, floorplans, catalogue text and design — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trade-mark and other intellectual-property rights. You may view, download and print pages for your personal, non-commercial use. Any other use requires our prior written permission.

Third-party links

The site may contain links to third-party websites (for example, legal-pack providers, finance partners or mapping services). We have no control over the content of those sites and accept no responsibility for them or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them.

Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law. Subject to that, to the fullest extent permitted by law we will not be liable for any loss of profits, loss of business, loss of goodwill, loss of data, or any indirect or consequential loss arising out of or in connection with your use of the site.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from them or from your use of the site is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

Changes

We may revise these terms from time to time. The version shown on the site is the version that applies whenever you use it.
