3. Inglis is entitled to rely on all representations made to it by the Vendor regarding the Vendor's GST registration status.
4. Where a Purchaser advises the Vendor and Inglis that the sale will be GST exempt (as a result of being an export sale within the meaning of section 38-185 A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999) then the sale may, subject to the agreement of the Vendor, Purchaser and Inglis, proceed on a GST free basis. Any such Purchaser must make their own enquiries as to GST exemption requirements, and in claiming an exemption the Purchaser warrants to the Vendor and Inglis that all requirements necessary for the sale of the Lot to be GST exempt have been or will be met. The Purchaser must execute and provide all such documents as the Vendor or Inglis require.
5. The Vendor and the Purchaser must do all things necessary to ensure that the provisions of the GST legislation are complied with in relation to each sale.
6.

INGLIS’ POSITION

2. Inglis shall be entitled to appropriate and deduct from any money held or received by it from any source, such amounts as may be necessary to cover any commission or other moneys owing to it by the Vendor or the Purchaser. If Inglis does not hold any moneys on behalf of the Vendor, then any amounts owing to Inglis by the Vendor shall be paid by the Vendor to Inglis on demand.
3. Inglis shall not have any liability either to the Vendor in consequence of any breach or default on the part of the Purchaser, or to the Purchaser in consequence of any breach or default on the part of the Vendor. Inglis' liability to both the Vendor and the Purchaser for any negligent act or omission, or any breach or default on the part of Inglis, shall, to the extent that any such liability exists and is not effectively excluded by these terms and conditions of sale, be limited to the lesser of the party's actual direct loss or the sale price of the Lot.
