Please Help! Call to a member function get() in html/com_virtuemart/category/def

[jessdaddy]

Hi. I am new to VM, but have been plugging along and managed to overcome most of the problems i have had with a template i purhcased. Nevertheless, I am having problems with the "Search" and "Shop NOw" cart functions on the front page. Whenever i click the Cart button labeled "Shop Now" it returns the following error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /home/jeff/public_html/templates/esw_easypeasy/html/com_virtuemart/category/default.php on line 70

Same error occurs if I search for something in the Search box

Now, if I add a product to the cart the blue "Shop Now" button turns green and label turns to "Go to Checkout" (which is normal After the label and color of the button change, I can click it  proceed to the checkout page.

I have searched all sorts of solutions for similar Call to a Member Function errors, and none seem to solve my problem.

Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this.

Here are the contents of the Default.php file referenced in the error if it helps):
