Whilst Warrabinya shall endeavour to take all care and responsibility to meet the Client's requirements, such as the cutting of straight lines, the Client acknowledges that for long distance cutting the coverage could be subject to slight variances that are beyond Warrabinya's control, due to surface difficulties that provide an unstable surface. Such a variation is not considered defective but is an acceptable standard of variation.
