(as of June 2016)
SUPPLY & PRICE
PRIDE Seeds reserves the right to substitute product at its discretion for any reason, including but not limited to crop or product shortages. If the buyer rejects the substitute product, the buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the cancellation of this order. Prices and hybrids indicated on reverse side are subject to change at any time. If no price is listed on the reverse side, the price shall be the price set out in PRIDE Seeds’ current published price list for the upcoming crop year.
AGRONOMIC ZONE AND PLANTING YEAR
By purchasing seed products of PRIDE Seeds, the buyer understands that such products are for planting in the year of the purchase and that PRIDE Seeds has the obligation to pay royalties to trait providers for the products containing specific traits based on each grower’s agronomic zone. Buyer agrees to report the agronomic zone of each grower who will plant such traited products (including that of the buyer if he is a grower) to PRIDE Seeds. Such agronomic zones are defined and assigned by each of the trait providers at their sole discretion, and may be different from one provider to another. At any time, should PRIDE Seeds become aware that the seed product was invoiced for an in- correct agronomic zone or planting year, PRIDE Seeds will adjust the invoice to reflect the correct price. In such event, either PRIDE Seeds will promptly issue a refund, or the buyer will pay the corrected amount remaining owed to PRIDE Seeds.
LIMITATION OF WARRANTY AND REMEDY
PRIDE Seeds warrants that the seeds in the container are as described on the tag, subject to tolerances established by law. THE FOREGOING EXPRESS WARRANTY EXCLUDES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND THE WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION THEREON. PRIDE Seeds does not warrant that conventional seed produced or sold by PRIDE Seeds is free of genetically modified organisms (“GMO”), nor does PRIDE Seeds warrant that genetically modified seed produced or sold by PRIDE Seeds is free of unintentional GMO for any reason, (including but not limited to adventitious pollen contamination due to pollen drift caused by wind and/or insects). PRIDE Seeds specifically disclaims any warranty as to complete freedom of GMO for conventional seed produced or sold by PRIDE Seeds and PRIDE Seeds specifically disclaims any warranty as to complete freedom of unintentional GMO for genetically modified seed produced or sold by PRIDE Seeds. By acceptance and use of the seed, buyer agrees that PRIDE Seeds' liability and the buyer’s exclusive remedy for breach of any warranty or other reason (if any) shall be limited, in all events, to a return of the purchase price of the affected seed, and in no event shall PRIDE Seeds be liable for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages (including damages for loss of business, loss of profits, or any similar loss) whether based on breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort (including negligence), product liability, or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. All claims must be presented within a reasonable period of time and not later than thirty (30) days after discovery. Crop yields and quality are influenced by many causes and conditions beyond PRIDE Seeds' control that PRIDE Seeds does not warrant yield or quality. Further, any recommendations given for selection or use of PRIDE Seeds' products are based upon PRIDE Seeds' best knowledge and for informational purposes only, and PRIDE Seeds does not warrant the results to be obtained with such recommendations. Unless accepted on the foregoing terms, buyer shall return the seed in the original unopened container within 15 days of purchase for a refund of the purchase price.
SECURITY INTEREST
PRIDE Seeds reserves, and the buyer grants to PRIDE Seeds, a security interest in any and all delivered products in the inventory of the buyer and in all accounts receivable of the buyer arising from the sale of the PRIDE Seeds products, until full payment to PRIDE Seeds. Buyer agrees to execute such documents as PRIDE Seeds may request in order to perfect PRIDE Seeds' security interest.
CREDIT BALANCE INFORMATION & CREDIT POLICY
The buyer may notify PRIDE Seeds by June 30 that it wishes to apply any overpayment (i.e., credit balance) as an advance payment against subsequent purchases. If the buyer does not send such notification, PRIDE Seeds will issue a refund check to the buyer as soon as practicable after June 30. This does not limit the buyer’s ability to specifically request a refund of an overpayment at any time. Note that payment of an early refund may impact other items, including early payment discounts and credits or qualification for various other programs or discounts offered by PRIDE Seeds. Notwithstanding the above, the buyer acknowledges and agrees that PRIDE Seeds may, in its sole discretion, apply any credit balance or payment that PRIDE Seeds receives from the buyer (directly or from a third party for the buyer’s account) to any past-due account that the buyer may have with PRIDE Seeds. A late payment charge of 1.5% per month (19.56% per annum), or the maximum lower rate allowed by law, will be added to all accounts not paid in full by the due date of payment, and for each month thereafter on the unpaid amount until paid in full. The buyer also agrees to bear any and all expenses related to the collection of any accounts deemed past due by PRIDE Seeds, including without limitation attorney fees and court costs.
