   summarized in clause 13 hereof.

2. The highest bidder shall be the purchaser of each lot.
   In the event of any lots not being disposed of at first offering,
   the Board may put any of them up again either separately
   or in groups. Any lot not disposed of at the auction sale
   shall remain open for selection at the upset price.

3. In the event of any disputed bid, the lot in dispute may
   be put up again at the last undisputed bid.

4. Each purchaser, immediately after the sale, shall sign
   an agreement to complete his contract for purchase according
   to these conditions, and shall pay to the Board's representative
   a fee of £3 3s. for the preparation of his contract of purchase,
   together with the cost of stamping and registering the
   same. The contract of sale will be prepared by the Board.
   One or more sections may, at the option of the purchaser,
   be included in one contract of sale.

5. The successful bidder will be required, within fourteen
   days from the date on which the contract of sale shall be
   tendered to him by the Board for execution, sign the same
   in triplicate. In the event of his failure to do so, the Board
   may forfeit the purchase-money paid by him, and again offer
   the land for sale at the upset price, freed from any obligations
   to the defaulting purchaser.

6. The bidding shall be advanced by such sum as the
   auctioneer may agree to accept, and no bidding shall be
   retracted.

   contract of sale, to make a declaration as required by Part XII

   occupier of 3,000 acres of third-class land or its equivalent in
   other classes of land.

9. The lands are offered under the Native Land Act, 1909,
   and the regulations made thereunder, and purchasers shall
   be deemed to be acquainted with the provisions thereof, and
   be bound thereby as effectually as if such provisions were
   embodied herein.

10. Both lots are subject to slight alteration of area on
    completion of survey. The fact that any area stated may
    require to be altered shall be no ground for rescission of the
    contract.

11. If, from any cause whatever, the Board shall be unable
    to give the purchaser possession of the land purchased,
    the purchaser shall be entitled to a refund of the deposit paid
    by him, but without interest, and no damages shall be claimed
