Participation in the auction implies agreement with these terms and conditions, both in the capacity of bidder/buyer and seller-supplier.

If reference is made hereinafter to a website, it is meant that of the auction house, which currently has the URL: www.infinitas-antiques.com , or any other website managed by the auction house in function of auctions.

Registration as a bidder/buyer on the website implies the unconditional approval of these terms and conditions.
