The Seller has notified (or will before the Auction notify) CCA in writing of any material alterations to the Lot of which the Seller is aware and of any concerns expressed by third parties in relation to the authenticity, provenance, origin, age, condition or quality of the Lot and has provided CCA with all such information in the Seller's possession or control. 7.1.3 The Seller shall compensate CCA and the Buyer in full for all losses, expenses and other costs which are caused by the Seller's breach of any obligation of the Seller under the Terms. 7.1.4 Where the vehicle is not registered in the UK, the Seller shall be responsible for completing the NOVA application within 14 days of the arriving in the UK and before the Motor Vehicle is consigned for sale. 8.
