User Agreement & Sale Terms

By using this website, you are agreeing to be bound by the AuctionsPlus User Agreement & Sale Terms.

The AuctionsPlus Code of Conduct has been developed to provide all users with some simple rules that assist in delivering a positive and trusted environment to all business conducted on the platform.

We’re committed to providing a transparent, honest and trusted platform for our users to transact livestock and agricultural commodities on a national scale. To support this our User Agreement & Sale Terms have been updated, and will come into effect across the platform and any auction commencing from the 22nd March 2021.

A summary of the changes are listed below;

A “Described Lot” means any Lot that is not required to have an Assessment in accordance with the AuctionsPlus Terms (see clause 4)
- Before bidding on any Described Lot(s), prospective Purchasers are encouraged to physically inspect the Described Lot(s), or make the necessary enquiries.
- Unless otherwise agreed between a Purchaser or Vendor, all Described Lots are purchased on an “as is, where is” basis and no Purchaser will be entitled to a refund or any form of compensation from the Vendor or AuctionsPlus as a result of any faults, imperfections, or errors in the description of the Described Lot.

Please ensure you review the full operating terms and conditions as this is only a high level summary of changes and does not encompass the full terms.

Acceptance For Arbitration

The arbitration process involves:

1. Each party makes payment of arbitration fee ($1000 ex GST)
2. Each party submits signed paperwork & documentation
3. Payment is made to AuctionsPlus of the full amount, as per the invoice for the stock at the sale price
4. AuctionsPlus removes identifying features on all paperwork and supporting documentation
5. AuctionsPlus engages (anonymous) appropriate industry experts to deliberate on the panel
6. An outcome is reached (agreed to by all members of the panel), including any compensation or re-distribution of funds
7. Both parties receive written notification of outcome
8. Funds distributed as per findings

If you or your company are intending to utilise the AuctionsPlus arbitration panel, after advisement from the AuctionsPlus Integrity Unit, you will need to download and return this Acceptance for Arbitration Form to AuctionsPlus.
