A party may avoid a contract for mistake of fact or law existing when the contract was concluded if:

(a)

the party, but for the mistake, would not have concluded the contract or would have done so only on fundamentally different terms and the other party knew or could reasonably be expected to have known this; and

(b)

the other party;

(i): caused the mistake;
(ii): caused the contract to be concluded in mistake by leaving the mistaken party in error, contrary to good faith and fair dealing, when the other party knew or could reasonably be expected to have known of the mistake;
(iii): caused the contract to be concluded in mistake by failing to comply with a pre-contractual information duty or a duty to make available a means of correcting input errors; or
(iv): made the same mistake.

(2)

However a party may not avoid the contract for mistake if:

(a): the mistake was inexcusable in the circumstances; or
(b): the risk of the mistake was assumed, or in the circumstances should be borne, by that party.
