Terms and conditions

These terms apply to the use of the AgriXchange website (https://agrixchange.co.za) and to participation in our auctions, whether on the floor or online. By registering or bidding you accept these terms. The rules of a specific auction (as set out in its announcement or catalogue) apply in addition.

Registration and account

• You must be 18 or older and provide true, complete information.
• We approve registrations and may refuse or suspend a registration, especially if required documents or a deposit are missing.
• You are responsible for all activity on your account. Keep your password secret.

Bidding

• A bid is a binding offer to buy the lot at that amount, subject to these terms and the auction rules.
• The auctioneer's decision on the conduct of the auction, including the knocking down of a lot, is final.
• Lots may be subject to a reserve price. A bid below the reserve may be accepted provisionally and is then subject to the seller's approval.
• Online bidding depends on internet and technical services. We are not liable for a bid that is not received in time because of an interruption.
• Some auctions require documents and/or a minimum deposit in advance before you may bid.

Buying

• Lots are sold voetstoots — as they stand, without any warranty — unless expressly stated otherwise. Buyers are advised to inspect lots beforehand.
• Risk passes to the buyer at the fall of the hammer; ownership passes once full payment has been received.
• The purchase price, plus VAT and any commission or costs shown on the invoice, is payable within 1 days after the auction, unless otherwise agreed.
• Deposits are set off against the buyer's invoice.
• Buyers must remove lots within the time announced at the auction. We may charge storage or handling costs for lots not removed in time.
• If a buyer fails to pay, we may cancel the sale, resell the lot and recover any loss or cost from the buyer.

Selling

• The seller warrants that they own the lot (or are authorised to sell it), that it is free of encumbrances, and that its description is accurate.
• The seller provides the required documents (e.g. ownership, brand, health or movement documents) as applicable.
• Commission and costs are deducted from the proceeds as shown on the seller statement. Payment follows once the buyer has paid and, where an auction requires it, the seller's documents have been approved.

Invoices and payment

Invoices and seller statements are issued electronically and are available under your account once the office has released them.

Use of the website

• Content, photos and videos on the website belong to AgriXchange or the relevant sellers and may not be reused without permission.
• You may not misuse the website, scrape it automatically or try to disrupt its operation.

Liability

To the extent permitted by law, AgriXchange is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from the use of the website or participation in an auction. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the Consumer Protection Act where it applies.

Privacy

We handle your personal information according to our privacy policy.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of South Africa.
