CONDITIONS OF SALE.

1. All instalments shall be secured by “On demand” promissory notes made and endorsed to the satisfaction of the Commissioner of Crown Lands.

2. The right to cut and remove the timber will be sold generally in accordance with the provisions of the Land Act, 1908, and the Timber Regulations made thereunder, and such additional conditions as the Commissioner in his discretion considers necessary in the interests of the Crown or of the public.

3. The quantities of the various timbers set forth in the above Schedule are approximate only, and are furnished for the information of intending purchasers, who are expected, previous to the sale, to make their own estimate of the quantity of timber. No contract for purchase shall be voidable, nor shall the licensee be entitled to any abatement in price, by reason of the said timber being of less quantity, quality, and kind than as stated herein; nor shall any extra sum be claimed by the Crown if for any reason the quantity of timber is found to be in excess of that stated herein.

4. The promissory notes will be presented at intervals as indicated in the terms of payment, but they may be presented for payment at earlier dates if more than a due proportion of the timber is found to be cut, or should any breach of the conditions occur, or if in the opinion of the Commissioner the interest of the Crown is jeopardized.

5. The purchaser of the timber shall have no right to the use of the land.

6. The licensee shall have the right to cut and remove only such matai, kahikatea, and totara trees as can be milled, and shall have no right to split posts, &c., and cut firewood.

7. The licensee shall have the right to construct and use such tramway or tramways as may be found necessary to the proper milling and removal of the timber.

8. The timber shall be cut in a face from such areas and in such order as the Commissioner may arrange; and the Crown reserves the right of following up the mill-workings by felling and grassing such areas as from time to time will have been cleared of milling-timber, or of disposing of the land.

9. The licensee shall not put, throw, or place, or allow to be put, thrown, or placed, into any river, stream, or watercourse, or into any place where it may be washed into any river, stream, or watercourse, any sawdust or other sawmill refuse.

10. If at any time during the currency of these licenses the Crown Lands Ranger or other person duly authorized by the Commissioner of Crown Lands shall report, or it otherwise appears, that the timber on the said areas is being improperly cut; or that the interests of the Crown or settlers are prejudiced, or for any other reason, the Commissioner of Crown Lands may, by notice in writing to the licensee and his surety, suspend his license pending investigation; and the Commissioner may cancel such license if it is found that its conditions have been infringed, without prejudice to any proceeding for damage done, recovery of amounts due on royalty, or otherwise.

11. If the timber is unsold at auction, the right to cut it at the upset price will remain open for application until further notice.

12. No compensation will be given, nor shall any be claimed, for any error, discrepancy, or misdescription whatever in respect of either lot or in these conditions.

13. All the timber, whether standing or felled or in logs, shall remain the property of the Crown until all due instalments are paid.

14. Should any dispute arise as to boundaries, the decision of the Commissioner of Crown Lands shall be final and conclusive.

Commissioner of Crown Lands.
