These terms have been drawn up by Corthogreen bv Steveringstraat 50 in Gaanderen [The Netherlands] on June 13, 2002 and are based on the General Terms and Conditions

of Sales and Delivery for the Seed for Sowing and Young Plants Trading Sector, as formulated by the Horticulture Section of Plantum, the Netherlands.

Article 1

Application of these general terms and conditions

1. These general terms shall apply to every offer and every agreement between Corthogreen vof, hereinafter referred to as “the seller”, and a purchaser, unless the parties

deviate explicitly from one or more of these terms and conditions in writing.

2. Apart from the present terms and conditions, the terms and conditions of sales for retail companies and the standard norms for retail of vegetable and flower seeds of the

NAK-horticulture apply to offers and agreements between Corthogreen vof and her purchasers, whenever the parties deviate from the present terms and conditions in those

offers and agreements.

3. To all agreements concluded by the seller with purchasers domiciled outside the Netherlands, the International Seed Federation Rules and Usages for the Trade in Seeds for

Sowing Purposes are applicable as well, as far as no deviation from these exists hereunder.

Article 2

Quotations and prices

1. All quotations formulated by the seller shall be free of engagement. The seller may revoke a quotation made free of engagement for a period of up to three days after the

purchaser has accepted the quotation. The prices given in a quotation shall be inclusive of value added tax unless explicitly stated otherwise. The prices given in a quotation

shall be exclusive of shipping costs unless explicitly stated otherwise.

2. The seller reserves the right to amend its prices periodically. Any new price quotation supersedes the forma quotation regarding orders placed after the date of the new

quotation.

Article 3

Harvest, treatment and delivery proviso

1. Deliveries shall be made under the usual harvest and processing proviso. In the event that the seller makes a justified appeal to this reservation, the seller shall not be obliged

to make a delivery, but shall, if possible, attempt to deliver to the purchaser either a proportional share of the quantity ordered by the purchaser or a comparable alternative.

2. The purchaser is not entitled to any compensation whatsoever in the case that the seller makes a justified appeal to this reservation.

3. The following cannot be ascribed to the seller: in general each condition that falls outside the direct range of influence of the seller and with reason cannot expect the fulfil

–

ment of the agreement. Considered here are amongst other things: damage by force majeure such as fire, water, frost or storm damage, interruptions or malfunctions in the

delivery of energy, malfunctions in machinery and sit-down strike. See the article ‘Force Majeure’.

Article 4

Placing orders and making deliveries

1. If the quantity ordered by the purchaser differs from the standard quantities used by the seller or a multiple thereof, the seller shall be entitled to delver the next largest

standard quantity.

2. The seller shall always perform its delivery obligation to the best of its ability.

3. Under appropriate fulfillment of the delivery obligation by the seller is also understood a minimal deviation from the order placed with respect to size, packaging, quantity

or weight.

4. The seller shall be allowed to effect partial deliveries. In the event of partial deliveries, the seller is entitled to invoice each delivery separately.

5. The agreement concluded by the seller and the purchaser shall be subject to the Incoterms in force at that time.

6. Delivery shall take place, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, at the premises (EXW) of the seller.

In the event no agreement was made between the seller and the purchaser with respect to shipping, the seller is entitled to shipping in a way that in his opinion seems

best. Shipping takes place at the expense and risk of the purchaser.

Eventual shipping assurance costs shall be for the purchaser’s account.

7. The seller undertakes to make delivery within a reasonable period of time after order confirmation in accordance with the sowing or planting season.

8. Agreed delivery times shall not be regarded as firm dates. In the event of late delivery, the purchaser shall therefore be obliged to provide the seller with written notice of

default and to allow him a further reasonable period of time to deliver the items purchased.

Article 5

Retention of title

1. The items delivered by the seller shall remain the complete and undivided property of the seller until the purchaser has paid the entire purchase sum.

The retention of title is also extended to claims the seller might obtain against the purchaser on account of the purchaser’s failure to meet

one or more of its obligations towards the seller.

2. The items delivered by the seller to which the retention of title pursuant to paragraph 1 of this article applies, may only be used or sold for normal operational purposes. In

the event of resale the seller shall be obliged to stipulate that his customers recognize an identical retention of title.

3. The purchaser shall not be permitted to pledge items delivered or to allow any other claim on them.

Article 6

Payment

1. Payment is due within 30 days from the invoice date. After this period lapses, the purchaser shall be in default and shall owe the seller from that time on a monthly interest

charge equal to 2% of the amount owing or the legally determined interest.

2. If the purchaser is liquidated, goes bankrupt or is granted a suspension of payments, his payment obligations shall immediately be payable on demand and the seller shall

be authorized to suspend any further performance of the agreement or to dissolve the agreement, without prejudice to the seller’s right to claim compensation from the

purchaser.

3. In the case that the parties have agreed to payment in installments, the late payment of one installment shall immediately render the entire remaining amount payable

without any proof of default. The last sentence of paragraph 1 of this article shall apply accordingly.

4. The seller is entitled to demand from the purchaser a payment in advance on the amount of the invoice.

5. Payment shall take place in the currency mentioned on the invoice and, in the absence thereof, in euros. The seller is entitled to pass on the differences of exchange to the

1. In case the purchaser is in default or fails to perform one or more of his obligations, the obligations are automatically and immediately suspended until the purchaser has

fully paid the amount due and payable (including payment of any extra-judicial costs); the seller may require the purchaser to submit payment in full or to provide adequate

security, for example in the form of a bank guarantee by a Dutch bank of good standing, with respect to the compliance by the purchaser.

perform his obligations properly or on time.

Use and warranty

1. All our deliveries are considered to be destined for the amateur market.

2. The seller guarantees to do everything within his power to ensure the items delivered comply with the product specifications which are an integral part of these terms and

conditions. The product specifications shall not serve as a warranty. In the event the items delivered fail to comply with the product specifications, the seller will inform the

purchaser. The seller does not guarantee that the performance delivered comply with the purpose for which they are used by the buyer.

3. In case the seller has indicated germinability, these data are exclusively based on reproducible laboratory tests. No direct relation can be assumed between the germinability

the conditions in which the test was performed. The results will depend among other things on the location, cultivation methods and the climate conditions of the purchaser.

4. The seller shall not be liable if the purchaser processes, repackages or uses the seeds improperly or allows them to be processed, repackaged or used improperly.

Article 11

Defects: complaint terms

1. The purchaser shall inspect the items bought upon delivery. The purchaser shall check whether the delivered items correspond to the agreement, namely: if the correct items

have been delivered; if the correct quantities have been delivered in accordance with the relevant order; if the items delivered comply with the quality requirements agreed

or – should no requirements have been agreed – the requirements that are set for normal use or trade purposes.

2. Within five working days of delivery, the purchaser shall notify the seller in writing of any visible defects or shortcomings, reporting the consignment information, lot number,

delivery note and the invoice particulars.

3. The purchaser will notify the seller in writing of any visible defects within five working days of their discovery, reporting the consignment information, lot number, delivery

note and the invoice particulars. The purchaser shall keep a register concerning the circumstances under which the items have been used and, in case of resale, to whom

and the purchaser’s rights will lapse.

5. If the parties are unable to resolve a dispute regarding the germinability, varietal trueness or purity, and the technical purity, either one of the parties may order an inspection

or re-inspection by ‘NAK tuinbouw’, located in Roelofsarendsveen, the Netherlands, with the party shown to be in the wrong paying the costs. The re-inspection shall be

performed on a certified sample. The findings of this inspection or re-inspection shall be binding for both parties, without prejudice to their right to submit disputes concerning

the consequences of these findings to the bodies referred to in article 14.

Article 12

Provision of information

1. Regardless of its form, the information provided by the seller shall be without obligations. Descriptions, recommendations and illustrations in brochures and folders shall

correspond as closely as possible to experiences in tests and practice, but will only be used as general information and not as an indication of quality or guarantee. Under no

circumstances shall the seller accept liability based on such information for deviating results in the cultivated product. The purchaser himself shall determine whether the

items are suitable for the intended cultivation and whether they can be used under local conditions.

the company of the seller, a general lack of the raw materials and other items or services required to deliver the agreed performance; unforeseeable delays at suppliers and

other third parties on which the seller depends and general transport difficulties.

2. The seller shall inform the purchaser as soon as possible if he is unable to deliver or unable to deliver on time owing to a situation of force majeure.

3. In case a force majeure condition exists for longer than two months, both parties shall be entitled to dissolve the agreement. In such a case, the seller shall not be obliged

to provide any indemnification.

Article 14

Settlement of disputes

1. If the parties have agreed to arbitration, each dispute shall be settled by a competent civil judge in first instance in the town of the seller, unless the applicable rules of the

chosen law in article 15 imperatively will declare another judge competent.

2. In the event of a dispute the parties shall first consult one another or attempt to arrive at a solution by means of mediation before submitting the dispute to an arbiter or

the civil court.
