The Rétromobile Paris Auction is a Gooding Christie's event organized by Christie's France SNC (“Christie’s”).
Christie’s welcomes you to this auction event as a professional media representative. The use of any photography and video devices is subject to the rules and conditions set forth below.
Failure to comply with any of the following, or to comply with the instructions of Christie’s personnel and/or any posted signage, may result in Christie’s revoking your filming and photography privileges for this event, and potentially also for future auctions, events and/or other media opportunities. In addition, Christie’s reserves the right to require you to allow Christie’s to inspect any photos and recordings made by you to ensure your compliance with these rules and guidelines and, if necessary, to require you to destroy materials obtained in violation thereof.
Your use of photographic or video recorders of any kind during this event constitutes your agreement to all of the following:
All photographic and video equipment must be disclosed to Christie’s and approved before entry. This includes but is not limited to recording devices such as video cameras, go-pros, cell phones, tablets or any other device capable of recording still or moving images. Only photographic and video equipment used for professional media purposes may be approved by Christie’s at Christie’s discretion.
Filming and photography must be contained to public spaces (i.e., “front of house,” and other areas as designated by Christie’s and/or posted signage). All guidelines and directions received from Christie’s staff must be followed.
Your media badge must be visible at all times while you are in the auction premises and/or at this event.
If you are permitted into the auction room, any recording devices must be positioned behind the VIP sections on the outside aisles and otherwise in areas as designated by Christie’s. You must ensure to leave a pathway clear in the aisles to maintain a reasonable distance from guests. If you are asked by any Christie’s personnel to adjust your location, position or camera angle, please comply immediately. Do not position cameras within the seating area or occupy seats that are not assigned to you. Do not approach the auction block without permission from a Christie’s representative. After taking the shot, please move back into the designated media area so that other photographers have an opportunity to capture their shots.
Do not interview any Christie’s staff, attendee or member of the audience without express prior permission from Christie’s publicity department.
Do not record, film, take still shots or images of any attendee or member of the audience without express prior permission of Christie’s publicity department. Do not point any photographic or video recordings in a manner intended to capture “crowd” shots or images of any specific individuals attending the event.
Solicitation is not permitted.
