Within BVA Auctions B.V. a third party funds foundation is in place. This foundation manages all funds from buyers and clients.

It manages and distributes funds to the rightful beneficiaries: clients with regard to the amounts to be settled and BVA Auctions B.V. with regard to commissions.

The foundation operates as follows:
• BVA Auctions sells on behalf of third parties and the buyer pays the invoice on the bank account of the Foundation for Third Party Funds.

• When all conditions for settlement are met, like amongst others, delivery of lots, signing of deeds etc. , BVA Auctions then makes the settlement of the proceeds (credit invoice = purchase invoice) and the Third-Party Funds Foundation pays the revenue to the client from the bank account of the Third-Party Funds Foundation.

In short:
The Foundation is a separate entity, which operates for BVA Auctions on the basis of an agreement between BVA Auctions and the third-party funds BVA Auctions Foundation.
This structure serves as a guarantee that the clients invoice will always be paid, even when BVA Auctions could no longer meet its obligations.
This way we have in fact guaranteed that the buyer as well as the client has certainty that the funds are secured.
