References to "buyer" will include a bidder in an auction, where applicable.
Please ensure that you have understood all charges, fees and taxes that may be applied to you before you use any of our services.
1. These Terms and Conditions set out the terms on which (a) Hotlotz and the seller offer the lots for sale on the Site; and (b) the buyer places a bid on a lot listed on the Site or buys any lot on the online marketplace (the "Marketplace"), where lots are not auctioned but instead are available for a seller to sell to a buyer instantly (the buyer and the seller, collectively "you, "Users" or "Parties").
2. By registering for an Account, bidding in an auction and/or where you purchase a lot on the Marketplace, you agree that these Terms and Conditions, and additionally the Sale Particulars only in the case of a bidder/buyer, shall be contractually binding on you.
3. "Sale Particulars" means lot information (the online description of the lot or lots offered for sale together with other information on the Site relating to a lot and the conduct of the sale), lot notes, payment information, any on-screen notices displayed as part of a sale, the FAQs and any additional conditions which apply to any lot or group of lots offered for sale at the same time.
4. Connectivity and technical issues
4.1 Broadband or other internet capacity constraints, corporate firewalls and other technical problems beyond our reasonable control may create difficulties for some users including (but not limited to) accessing sales and maintaining continuity of such access.
4.2 Hotlotz will not be responsible to you (whether you are a buyer or seller) for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the internet or on any mobile device, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by: (a) any loss of connection on Hotlotz or your end to the sale; (b) a breakdown or problems with the online bidding software; and/or (c) a breakdown or problems with any internet connection, computer, mobile device or system.

6. General
6.1 Hotlotz does not own any lots listed for sale on the Site and all items, whether listed for sale via auction or on the Marketplace, are on consignment basis.
6.2 For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms and Conditions, the actual contract for sale in each case is directly between buyer and seller and Hotlotz is not a party to that or any other contract between buyer and seller and accordingly Hotlotz accepts no obligations in connection with any such contract. Parties to such transaction will be entirely responsible for the sales contract between them, the listing of goods, warranty of purchase and the like. Hotlotz is not a party to the transaction between Users.
7. Before the sale
7.1 Description of lots
(a) Our description of any lot, any condition report and any other statement made by us (whether orally or in writing) about any lot, including about its nature or condition, artist, period, materials, approximate dimensions or provenance are our opinion and not to be relied on as a statement of fact. We do not carry out in-depth research of the sort carried out by professional historians and scholars. All dimensions and weights are approximate only.
(b) We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the nature of a lot.
7.2 Condition
(a) The condition of lots can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair and wear and tear. Their nature means that they will rarely be in perfect condition. Lots are sold ''as is", in the condition they are in at the time of the sale, without any representation or warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to condition by Hotlotz or by the seller.
(b) Any reference to condition in the Sale Particulars or in a condition report will not amount to a full description of condition, and images may not show the condition of a lot clearly. Colours and shades may look different on the screen to how they look on physical inspection. Condition reports may be available to help you evaluate the condition of a lot. Condition reports are provided free of charge as a convenience to our buyers and are for guidance only. They offer our opinion, but they may not refer to all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration or adaptation because our staff are not professional restorers or conservators. For that reason, they are not an alternative to taking your own professional advice. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have requested, received and considered any condition report.
(c) Hotlotz will also endeavour, on a best-efforts basis, to facilitate the physical inspection of a lot prior to the buyer placing a bid for or purchasing it via the Marketplace. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have requested and received any physical inspection.
7.3 Estimates
Estimates are based on the condition, rarity, quality and provenance of the lot and on prices recently paid at auction for similar property. Estimates can change. Neither you, nor anyone else, may rely on any estimate as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price of a lot or its value for any other purposes. Estimates do not include any buyer's premium or any applicable taxes or charges or artist's resale royalty.
7.4 Certain limitations
(a) Certain lots such as wines may only be sold and delivered to persons over the age specified in the Sale Particulars. By registering to bid, you confirm that you are at least that age. Any lots delivered or shipped to you or your agent must be received and signed for by an adult who is at least that age. You are responsible for paying any shipping charges if a lot is returned to the seller/Hotlotz due to your failure to provide positive proof of age, the provision of an invalid delivery address (including but not limited to a P.O. Box) or the lack of a recipient to sign and accept delivery.
(b) Buyers are reminded of the limitations and restrictions imposed by various states and countries regarding the importation of certain lots such as wines between different states and countries. Various jurisdictions may prohibit the importation or limit the quantity of certain lots that may be shipped into their jurisdictions. In addition, various jurisdictions may require the buyer, seller, shipper or other entity to possess certain licenses or permits before shipping certain lots. It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to determine before bidding whether such lots can be shipped from or into any state or jurisdiction and the legal obligation or responsibility for obtaining any required permits or licenses on behalf of the buyer prior to shipment. It is the buyer's responsibility to abide by any customs regulations and required declarations for international shipments. The seller and Hotlotz make no representation as to the legal rights of any buyer to ship such lots to or from any jurisdiction.

(c) Closing of a lot
(i) A countdown clock is displayed for each lot on the lot description page. Where there is bidding activity on a particular lot within 5 minutes prior to the lot's allocated closing time, there will be a bidding extension so that there will always be a 5-minute period between the last bid and closing time of that lot. These extensions will continue indefinitely until there is no more bidding activity on the lot for a period of 5 minutes.
(ii) The extension of one lot's closing time does not affect other lots' closing times. Therefore, it is possible that lots will close out of numerical lot order.
(d) Successful bids – auctions

Partial payment of a lot, or payment across multiple debit or credit cards for a single lot, will not be allowed. If you purchase multiple lots, you may purchase one lot with one credit card and another lot with a different credit card, but you will need to go through two separate check-outs.

(vii) Please contact Hotlotz Client Services for any questions relating to payments.
(b) Payment method – credit card
(i) Please note that if you pay for your purchase using a credit card issued outside the region of the sale, depending on the type of card and account you hold, the payment may incur a cross-border transaction fee. If you think this may apply to you, please check with your card supplier before proceeding to check-out.
(ii) You agree that all cross-border transaction fees shall be payable by you, such that the full purchase price is paid to Hotlotz without any deductions.
(iii) Hotlotz reserves the right to pre-authorise your credit card prior to any auction or sale. This places the pre-authorised amount in a holding state which also temporarily reduces one's credit limit. The pre-authorisation is not a charge and no funds will be debited from the account. This will also not be reflected in the credit card statement since no charge has been made. The credit limit will be released back to the cardholder within two (2) to four (4) weeks depending on the issuing bank.
9.3 What happens if the buyer does not pay

It is the sole responsibility of the seller and buyer to determine whether items can be exported, imported, transported or resold, or whether any licence or permit is required in relation to any item and to comply with any relevant laws and regulations.
(h) The buyer may, at its own costs, obtain its own insurance to insure the lot(s) against any loss or damage during storage or shipment of the lot(s). We do not accept any liability for any loss or damage to the lot(s) whether during storage or shipment of the lot(s), and you agree to release us from any such liability.
9.8 Right of cancellation
(a) Items sold whether via an auction or the Marketplace are strictly not refundable or exchangeable.
(b) Unless otherwise permitted by applicable laws, a buyer will have no recourse against Hotlotz or the relevant seller for any defective item after the relevant auction or sale and the buyer will have no right of cancellation.
(c) We can refuse or cancel the sale of an item if we reasonably believe that completing the transaction is or may be unlawful, that the sale places us or the seller under any liability to anyone else or may damage our interests or reputation (including if the item may not be authentic) or that information provided by a seller is inaccurate or misleading.
9.9 Limitations to export and import
(a) Import/export licences or other permits
Certain lots sold may be affected by laws on exports from the country in which it is sold and the import restrictions of other countries. Many countries require a declaration of export for property leaving the country and/or an import declaration on entry of property into the country. Obtaining the necessary permits and/or licenses may result in additional costs and subsequent delays. Local laws may prevent you from importing a lot or may prevent you selling a lot in the country you import it into. Unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, the fact that you may need to apply for an import and/or export license or some other permit and/or license for shipment may result in additional time to process at an additional cost and does not affect your obligation to make payment on the payment due date nor our right to charge interest or storage charges on late payment. A delay in obtaining required permits or licenses shall not justify a rescission of any sale nor a delay in making full payment for the lot, and we shall not be obliged to refund any interest or other expenses incurred by you. Local laws may prohibit the import or export of some property and/or may prohibit the resale of some property in the country of importation. It is your responsibility to check if lots may be imported into and/or transported to the specified delivery location and plan for additional time to apply for and receive the appropriate permits and/or licenses. No such restriction or delays associated with processing shipments shall justify the rescission of any sale or delay in making full payment for the lot.
(b) You alone are responsible for getting advice about and meeting the requirements of any laws or regulations which apply to exporting or importing any lot prior to bidding at an auction or prior to purchasing it on the Marketplace. If you are refused a license or there is a delay in getting one, you must still pay us in full for the lot. We may be able to help you apply for the appropriate licenses if you ask us to and pay our fee for doing so, however we cannot guarantee that you will get one. For more information, contact Hotlotz Client Services.
10. Before the sale
10.1 If you wish to sell an item through Hotlotz, you will need to enter into a sale contract with us (the "Sale Contract"), a copy of which is signed and stored on the Site. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the Sale Contract, the Sale Contract shall prevail.
10.2 We will work with you to catalogue the item, we will appraise the item and set an estimate range that we think the item might sell for, and we will agree with you a 'reserve' (also described as a 'minimum sale price', 'minimum bid' or 'opening bid'). The 'reserve' may be zero in the case of items accepted at 'no reserve'). You must make the item available to us, for cataloguing and sale as reasonably required by us at any time.
10.3 Examinations
(a) If you bring a lot in to us for examination or if we agree to examine it elsewhere, a non- specialist member of our staff will carry out a visual examination of it ("Examination"). The degree of skill and care exercised by us in such an Examination will be proportionate to an examination of this limited nature.
(b) We may also carry out for our own benefit our own investigations, research, tests or refer to specialist(s) or conduct other examinations of the lot, or approach third parties in the exercise of our due diligence (possibly without reference to you) but we are under no obligation whatsoever to do so.
10.4 Descriptions and estimates
(a) When providing the Examination, we will normally provide an expression of our opinion of the range within which we think the hammer price for the lot at the sale is likely to be ("Estimate"). It is not an estimate of value and does not take into account any GST or buyer's premium payable. Lots can in fact sell for hammer prices below and above the Estimate. Any Estimate should not be relied on as an indication of the actual selling price or value of a lot.
(b) Anything stated or represented by us or on our behalf in any Sale Particulars in relation to the authorship, attribution, condition, provenances, history, background, authenticity, style, period, age, suitability, quality, roadworthiness, origin, value, or future selling price (including the hammer price) of any lot or by any Estimate given in relation to it, whether in the Sale Particulars or on the Site or otherwise, and whether made orally or in writing, is only an expression of our opinion.
(c) Save that any Sale Particulars, Estimate or opinion is honestly given using such skill and care as is reasonable having regard to the extent of that visual examination in the Examination and any information about the lot you have given us or we may have obtained about it, we neither make nor agree to make any contractual promise, undertaking, obligation, guarantee, warranty or representation of fact in relation to any such Sale Particulars, Estimate or opinion or in relation to the accuracy of anything stated in or represented by any expression of that Sale Particulars, Estimate or opinion.
(d) Any statements or representations contained in any Sale Particulars or any Estimate may be changed by us at any time until the lot is sold (and will be, if we alter our opinion after it has been given).
(e) If you wish us to provide a formal valuation of any lot, you will need to request this, and enter into a separate agreement with us specifying, in detail, the purposes for which the valuation is required and providing us with greater information in relation to the lot than is contained in the Sale Contract. As this is an additional service, we will make a further charge for undertaking any valuation.
10.5 Pre-contract statements and representations and the Sale Contract
(a) We provide a free service to members of the public who bring in items for examination by us. Because the service is free and you are under no obligation to us in relation to it, and because on such examinations we merely express an opinion in relation to such items (which opinion we may change subsequently) and because we undertake specific obligations to you under these Terms and Conditions, we owe you no duty (other than to be honest) either in contract or tort in relation to anything stated or represented (expressly or by implication) to you about the lot and no such statement or representation will be incorporated into this agreement and any liability under the Misrepresentation Act (Cap. 390) will be limited to the amounts as set out in paragraph 14.18(b).
(b) Any description of the lot on the Sale Contract is for the purposes of identification only and (subject to paragraph 10.4(c)) is not to be relied on.
10.6 You will need to confirm to us whether you would like to sell the lot via which of the following methods, and confirm whether a failure to sell the lot via one method automatically triggers the sale of the lot via another method:
(a) via an auction;
(b) via the Marketplace; and/or
(c) via the 'clearance section' on the Marketplace.
Subject to the foregoing, Hotlotz may conduct any auction or sale in any way it reasonably determines, including hosting the auction on a third party platform, hosting the sale on the Marketplace, setting or changing minimum bidding amounts (at or above the agreed reserve price for the item), bidding increments or bid cut off times. By participating in any auction hosted on a third party platform, both buyer and seller are deemed to have also consented to the terms and conditions as imposed by such third party platform ("Third Party Terms") save that in the event of any conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the Third Party Terms, these Terms and Conditions shall prevail.
10.7 We may charge sellers an upfront listing fee for creating an inventory of, or cataloguing items. We may also charge our standard delivery charges if we agree with you that we will collect any items from you. We may charge your debit/credit card for this service. These fees, together with the commission payable when an item is sold (standard seller's and performance) (the "seller's commission"), insurance fees, withdrawal fees, listing fees, unsold fees will be explained to you at the time you consign or is otherwise available at www.hotlotz.com.
10.8 Hotlotz reserves the right to pre-authorise your credit card prior to any auction or sale. This places the pre-authorised amount in a holding state which also temporarily reduces one's credit limit. The pre-authorisation is not a charge and no funds will be debited from the account. This will also not be reflected in the credit card statement since no charge has been made. The credit limit will be released back to the cardholder within two (2) to four (4) weeks depending on the issuing bank.
10.9 Once agreed, Hotlotz will try to sell the item for you on your behalf as your agent. Hotlotz may market and sell the item in any way it reasonably determines at any time, including lotting the item with or without other items. If the item does not sell, Hotlotz may at any time ask you to agree to re-list the item with a lower 'reserve' or 'no reserve'.
10.10 Storage and insurance
(a) We insure all items, for the amount of the mid-point between the high and low estimate we determine for the item, while in the possession or control of Hotlotz (on Hotlotz premises and during delivery to or from Hotlotz premises arranged by Hotlotz) within Singapore in line with good industry practice. Our liability to the seller of the items will be limited to such insurance.
(b) If you wish to insure your item(s) beyond such amount, please ask us about additional insurance cover that may be available for you to take out, at your own cost and expense, directly with an insurer.
(c) If any item or part of it (or any part of a group of related items), in our possession, control or custody, is damaged/destroyed in any way we may (in our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies we may have) (i) cancel any agreement relating to the sale of the item(s) or (ii) sell the item(s) in which case the limit on our liability will be reduced by any amount made from the sale above the insured amount.
(d) Please note that while your items are in our possession and control, we do not provide any special requirements or precautions in relation to items, such as environmental controls or security.
10.11 If any item in our possession, control or custody becomes dangerous at any time, we may dispose of it without advance notice to you in any manner we think fit and we will be under no liability to you for doing so.
11. During the sale
11.1 No seller, nor any person on its behalf, may bid for any of its own items in any auction (although we reserve the right to sell the item to the seller if it so bids). Please note that employees of Hotlotz may bid for or buy any item.
11.2 Withdrawal of item
(a) The seller authorises Hotlotz to refuse a bid(s) from any bidder, including from the highest bidder, where there is a reserve if such refusal is reasonable for the protection of the seller's and/or our interests in the circumstances.
(b) We can refuse or cancel the sale of an item if we reasonably believe that completing the transaction is or may be unlawful, that the sale places us or the seller under any liability to anyone else or may damage our interests or reputation (including if the item may not be authentic) or that information provided by a seller is inaccurate or misleading.
(c) Hotlotz may at any time decide to no longer sell the item. You must collect the item promptly if instructed to do so or we may return it to you whereby our standard delivery charges will apply. We may charge your debit/credit card for this service.
(d) If an item is withdrawn by the seller from a published auction or from sale at the Marketplace at a fixed price, the seller will be charged a 'withdrawal fee'.
12. After the sale
12.1 Settlement of sale proceeds
(a) When Hotlotz sells an item at auction, we will settle to the seller's nominated bank account the amount the item sold for, minus the seller's commission, and any fees, expenses, royalties, taxes or interest referred to in these Terms & Conditions, any telegraphic and bank charges and any outstanding inventory or cataloguing fees and delivery charges.
(b) We will usually settle the proceeds of all sales to the seller's nominated bank account within 21 days of the sale date as long as the seller has provided bank account details and we have received payment for the item from the buyer or any dispute with the buyer has been resolved. The seller will be liable for any and all fees levied by the receiving bank on the transfer of funds.
(c) If we cannot settle the proceeds of a sale, because a seller has not provided bank account details or has provided incorrect bank account details, within a six month period from the date of the sale we may retain and use any such amount for our own benefit.
12.2 Dispute between the buyer and the seller
(a) In the case of a dispute between the buyer and the seller in relation to an item involving us, we may deduct from any amount to be paid to the seller all of our legal or other costs incurred by us in connection with such dispute.
(b) We may also require the seller to repurchase the item on demand for an amount equal to any purchase price, buyer's premium, seller's commission, fees, expenses, royalties, taxes or interest. Title to and risk in the item will transfer to the seller on receipt by us of such amounts.
(c) We may disclose a seller's details and contact information to a buyer if required for the buyer to take any action or make any claim against the seller in accordance with these Terms & Conditions.

Auction Format
Hotlotz operates timed auctions only. All bidding is conducted online at hotlotz.com or thesaleroom.com. We do not accept live, commission or telephone bidding.
Bidding closes on Sunday 26 November 2023
from 6pm SGT onwards. Lots in our auctions all close in sequence in intervals of one minute, starting at the published end time of the auction.
All auctions are subject to auto-extended bidding. If you place a bid within five minutes of the designated closing time of a lot, the bidding period for that lot will be extended by a further five minutes. This extension will continue until a full five minutes has elapsed without another bid being placed.
Contact information
You can contact Hotlotz by phone on (+65) 6254 7616 during working hours, or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. We also have an extensive FAQ section at hotlotz.com.
All bidders must register for the auction (using the 'Register to Bid' button on hotlotz.com or the 'Connect to Auction' button on thesaleroom.com). You must provide your full name (as written in your passport) and provide your full residential address.
Identity verification
New anti-money laundering regulations require Hotlotz and other art businesses to verify the identity of our clients.
New clients may be asked to provide the following documents before they can bid:
- A copy of your passport or other government-issued photo ID (e.g., NRIC/FIN card)
- Proof of your residential address (such as a bank statement or utility bill dated within the last three months. Financial details may be redacted)
Buyer's premium
A buyer's premium equal to 30% (inclusive of 8% GST) of the winning bid will be added to the hammer price.
Auction currency

Bidding increments
Bidding increments are listed as follows:
From 0 to $400 bidding rises in $20 increments
From $400 to $1000 bidding rises in $50 increments
From $1,000 to $2,000 bidding rises in $100 increments
From $2,000 to $5,000 bidding rises in $200 increments
From $5,000 to $10,000 bidding rises in $500 increments
From $10,000 to $100,000 bidding rises in $1,000 increments
Above $100,000 bidding rises in $5,000 increments
Confidential maximum bids
You may, if you prefer, enter your maximum bid into our bidding platform. This is the most you are willing to pay for an item. Our bidding platform will then bid intelligently for you, against any other competitors, bidding only enough for you to stay in the lead. Your maximum bid amount remains totally confidential, even Hotlotz does not know what it is.
Every lot we offer for auction is exhibited in our saleroom, and we strongly advise you to examine items before you bid as they are offered in 'as is' condition, and bidding is legally binding. Our opening hours can be found here. No appointment is necessary.
Condition reports/ additional photography
Condition reports and additional photography are provided on request as a goodwill gesture and are our general assessment of damage and restoration. Whilst care is taken in their drafting, they are for guidance only. We will not be held responsible for oversights concerning damage or restoration.
Winner's notification
An email is sent to all winners at the end of every auction confirming the items that they have won.
Paying your invoice
You will receive an invoice, with full instructions on how to make payment, within 24 hours of an auction's closing time. Please make immediate payment to secure your lots.
We accept PayNow, bank transfer and Mastercard, Visa and American Express payment cards. Hotlotz is a cashless business; we do not accept cash payments or cheques.
Removing GST on exported items
Hotlotz can zero-rate GST on items purchased and exported by foreign-registered buyers. This represents a 8% saving on the hammer price and the buyer's premium fee.
In order to zero-rate the GST specific conditions must be met. Winning bidders must be non-resident and provide an overseas shipping address. Hotlotz must control and manage the export, and it must take place within 60 days of the auction date. If you agree to these IRAS mandated export conditions then we are able to zero-rated the GST on your purchase.
Please email email@example.com if you think that you meet these export conditions and you would like to request a zero-rated GST invoice.
First party payment rules
Please ensure the name on your chosen payment method (i.e. your bank account or payment card) matches the registered name in your Hotlotz account exactly. Due to financial regulations we cannot accept a third-party payment from another individual or organisation. This includes a payments from a partner or family member.
