Auction access restriction file

NOTICE

ROSSINI is a subscriber to the TEMIS Service, which allows users to view and make additions to the Auction access restriction file ("TEMIS File"), maintained by Commissaires-Priseurs Multimédia (CPM), public limited company with executive board, with registered office at 37 Rue de Châteaudun, 75009 Paris, listed on the Paris Trade and Companies Register under number 437 868 425.

All auction sale invoices remaining unpaid after ROSSINI or subject to delays in payment may be added to the TEMIS File.

(1) Legal basis and purpose of the TEMIS File

The TEMIS File records instances of non-payment of auction sales invoices (e.g. payment delays or defaults) across all modes of bidder participation (i.e. in-person or remote) and may be viewed by all France-based auctioneers who subscribe to the service. Where a bidder fails to settle an auction sales invoice by the due date indicated on the invoice, ROSSINI may initiate the listing procedure. ROSSINI operates and uses the TEMIS File in the legitimate interests of TEMIS Service subscribers to prevent instances of non-payment and to protect the auction process.

(2) Organisations authorised to view the TEMIS File (beneficiaries)

The TEMIS File may be viewed by any sales organisation that is subscribed to the TEMIS Service (professionals and companies qualified to organise public sales events in accordance with applicable law and regulations, including Book III, Part II of the Commercial Code, "Auctions" (hereinafter "Professional Subscribers")), who seek to protect against instances of non-payment and safeguard their auction processes. The list of subscribers to the TEMIS service is available to view at www.interencheres.com, in the drop-down menu "Acheter aux enchères" (Buy at auctions), under "Les commissaires-priseurs" (Auctioneers).

(3) What happens if a bidder is listed on the TEMIS File

Where a bidder is added to the TEMIS File, ROSSINI may make access to auctions contingent on the use of payment methods or specific guarantees, or it may prevent the bidders from participating in auctions for which such guarantees cannot be provided. Bidders listed on the TEMIS File may face restrictions to their bidding activity at auctions operated by auctioneers with a Professional Subscription to the TEMIS service. This shall also result in temporary suspension of access to the www.interencheres.com live service, operated by CPM, in accordance with the general terms of use for this platform.

(4) Duration of listing

The length of time for which a bidder is listed on the TEMIS File depends on the number of unpaid auction sales invoices payable to Professional Subscribers to the TEMIS File, the total amounts owed, and their payment status (i.e. paid/unpaid). The duration of listing on the TEMIS File shall be reduced where the Bidder settles all instances of non-payment. It shall be increased where multiple unpaid auction sales invoices are listed against the bidder on the TEMIS File. An unpaid auction sales invoice shall be automatically deleted within 24 months where the bidder is included on one listing only, and within 36 months where the bidder is included on multiple listings.

(5) Responsibility

CPM is responsible for operating and maintaining the TEMIS File, which involves collecting subscriber data, sharing and communicating the personal data collected, as well as ensuring the protection of information systems hosting the TEMIS File. ROSSINI as a subscriber, is responsible for its use of the TEMIS File, which in particular includes communicating personal data regarding auctions to CPM for the TEMIS File listing procedure, updating and checking the accuracy of data, and reusing information on the TEMIS File.
