  • In the event of a dispute between the parties in any way arising out of or in connection with the contract, then the parties undertake in good faith to use all reasonable endeavours to settle the dispute before referring such dispute to arbitration or commencing court proceedings.

Warranty

Our technical advice is given in good faith but without warranty. The application and use of our products are out of our control, and therefore, we are unable to warrant pasture or crop performance to a specific level.

Our recommendations rely on information provided to us by the Buyer (including soil analysis reports). Livestock should not be grazed on recently top-dressed pasture until the fertiliser has disappeared from foliage.

Nothing in these terms shall affect the rights of the Buyer under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or the Fair Trading Act 1986.

Liability

The Company shall not be liable for any loss of any kind whatsoever suffered by the Buyer as a result of any breach under the contract, including any cancellation of the contract, nor shall the Company be liable for any loss, damage or injury caused by or to the Buyer’s agents, contractors, buyers, visitors, tenants, trespassers or other persons.

The Buyer shall indemnify the Company against any claim by any such person.
