Credit limits. Each bidder is subject to an aggregate bidding limit based on the currency of the sale and you should be notified of this when registering for an online-only sale. Any such bidding limit will apply to all items for sale in that particular online-only sale and to all items you bid upon in aggregate, not on a per lot basis. The bidding limit is based upon the maximum bid you make as opposed to the actual bid amount that is accepted. Christie’s, in its sole discretion, may lower or rescind this limit and has the ability to contact you to request the production of documents or information in relation to such limit. A maximum bid on a lot is deducted against the aggregate bidding limit and the bidding limit will not be reset until bidding on that lot closes. If you should reach the aggregate bidding limit based on the bids you place (whether maximum bids or actual bid amounts), you will not be able to place any further bids on those lots or any additional bids on other lots. You may adjust (i.e. remove, lower or increase) a maximum bid on a lot as long as the bids accepted on such lot have not met or exceeded the maximum bid amount. Should you wish to bid beyond your bidding limit or if you have a question regarding your bidding limit, please contact Christie’s Client Services.
