    3. Inglis or the Vendor did not disclose prior to or at the time of the sale that the Lot had impaired vision, then subject to clause 14.4, the Purchaser may cancel its purchase of the Lot by giving Inglis written notice of cancellation within ten (10) days after the Auction End.
4. Inglis reserves the right to obtain a confirmatory opinion by a panel of not more than three (3) veterinary surgeons appointed by Inglis before a notice of cancellation of sale under clauses 14.1, 14.2 or 14.3 is accepted by it, and if such panel unanimously denies the existence of the defect in the horse then, in the absence of agreement to the contrary by Inglis, the Purchaser shall not have any right to cancel the sale.
5. In the Entry Details, the description “Colt” includes a “Rig” or “Crypt-orchid”, which expressions mean a male horse in which one or both testes have not descended into the scrotum from the abdomen. Any dispute on this issue shall be determined by Inglis, who shall be entitled (at the expense of the vendor) to obtain such veterinary advice on the issue as they consider necessary.
6. Age of Broodmare

Neither the vendor or Inglis will be liable for any loss resulting in the failure of a stud to offer a free return.

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 shall not in any circumstances have any liability or obligation to the Vendor or the Purchaser in relation to GST, and specifically shall not be under any obligation to pay to the Vendor any amount in respect of GST on a sale unless and until Inglis has been paid the relevant GST by the Purchaser.
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.

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.
