Please read these terms of use ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy as they contain important legal terms that govern your access and use of the www.theherdonline.com.au and www.herdonline.com.au website and related products, services, websites, mobile sites and apps (collectively called our "Website").
Quick Points about using The Herd Online website and related products:
If I advertise a Paddock Sale on The Herd and the stock is successfully sold to a buyer “in the paddock” regardless of the origins of said buyer I will agree to pay the nominated selling fees as outlined on The Herd Website.
I understand that I could have my account closed temporarily or permanently if I use the system in a disadvantageous manner. An example of this could include connecting with buyers and selling livestock via The Herd platform and not accepting the associated fee or nominating the listing as sold from The Herd platform. A user may do this to avoid paying selling fee’s. These actions could also jeopardise access to The Herd for other members of your office/agency.
If the above actions do take place, a user may have their account suspended and agree to pay a $500 plus GST replacement fee and potentially the value of the listing fee initially questioned.
The Herd management work hard to provide an updated central platform for both buyers and sellers. Please respect this!
If a seller receives an offer which they accept and the buyer does not honour the agreement through no fault of their own, The Herd will re-list the livestock for free and assist with the marketing to reach a successful outcome. The Herd management will also follow up with the buyer and could restrict their access in the future. If there was an issue with the stock or they did not meet or correspond with the advertised description, etc. The Herd will not provide FOC advertising.
We will monitor all users and listings operating on The Herd systems.
