CONDITIONS OF SALE.

1. Intending tenderers are expected to visit the locality and to satisfy themselves in every particular on all matters relating to the sale.

2. The aforementioned quantities, qualities, and kinds as to the said timber shall be taken as sufficiently accurate for the purpose of this sale, and no contract for purchase shall be voidable, nor shall the successful purchaser be entitled to any abatement in price, by reason of the said timber being of less quantity, quality, or kind than as stated hereon or on any advertisement having reference to the said timber.

3. Each tenderer must state in his tender the price per 100 sup. feet in the round log that he is prepared to pay for the timber.

4. Each tenderer must deposit with the Commissioner of State Forests a bond (with two satisfactory guarantees to be approved by the said Commissioner) for £80; such bond must accompany the tender as a deposit, and in the case of the successful tenderer this sum will be liable to forfeiture in the event of non-fulfilment of any of the conditions of sale.

5. The highest or any tender will not necessarily be accepted, and the timber described is submitted for sale subject to the final acceptance of the tender by the Commissioner of State Forests.

6. The right is reserved to the Commissioner of State Forests to withdraw from sale all of the said timber either before or after the date for receipt of tenders.
