TERMS OF USE

Your access to and use of this evaluation website is subject to these terms, the Privacy Policy, the Intellectual Property Rights Notice and any other terms contained on this website ("Terms of Use").

Evaluation Status

The majority of the cultivars nominated in this evaluation website have an experimental / evaluation status and, as such, are not commercially available. A relatively small quantity of commercial cultivars will be included in this evaluation website for use as comparative data for the majority of the cultivars that have an experimental / evaluation status.

Disclaimer

All of the evaluation material published on this web site is for information purposes only. The information on this site is current at the date of publication but may be subject to change. Whilst we have made every effort to ensure that information is free from error, we do not guarantee that the information or images are current, complete or correct and accept no responsibility therefore. All information is subject to change without notice. We do not accept liability for errors, omissions in, delays or interruptions to or cessation of access to this website, through negligence or for any other reason whatsoever. We do not guarantee that this website or third party websites will be free from viruses.

Information contained on this evaluation website is intended as a guide only and any one viewing the website is reminded that growth and performance of any cultivar is dependant on a wide range of conditions beyond our control and we make no guarantee as to the suitability of any cultivar for any specific use nor do we recommend any one cultivar in preference to another or claim to be an authority on any one cultivar. All information is believed to be correct and is the result of sample evaluation and is given in good faith. We disclaim all liability for loss suffered as a result of reliance on the matters set out in this website.

We advise that the material contained on this website is for evaluation purposes only and, as such, may not be commercially available at this time.

IMPORTANT NOTICE RELATIVE TO NEW VARIETIES

When considering the evaluation data of any variety of fruiting cultivar for potential commercial purposes you need to know of and accept the following:

  • The cultivar that you are reviewing may have been obtained from outside Australia and Graham's Factree may not know how it will perform or whether it will succumb to any virus or disease. Graham's Factree makes no representations about these matters.
  • The cultivar and the understock on which it has been worked may not have been fully evaluated and consequently Graham's Factree is not able to make any representations about the cultivar and the understock on which it has been worked, its performance, or in relation to any other matter at all.
  • You acknowledge that you understand the risk in the selection of evaluation cultivars as potential commercial varieties and that you do so entirely at your own risk.
  • Because the cultivar may not have been fully evaluated it may in the future succumb to viruses or disease or understock / scion incompatibility.
  • If you eventually choose to purchase a cultivar for use in the course of your business once it may become commercially available, you are not a consumer for the purposes of Part 5 Division 2 of the Trade Practices Act. In which case you will not be entitled to protection as a consumer under Part 5 of Division 2 of the Trade Practices Act.
