All sales are subject to the following terms and conditions accepted by all customers when placing their orders.
- Every consignment should be inspected upon delivery. Complaints about any perceptible defects relating to the goods or the packaging and any weight discrepancies must be brought to the Seller's notice no later than the 5th working day and any deficient germination vigour no later than 3 weeks after receipt of the goods. Notice of any defects which are not detectable until a later date must be given without delay. In the event of any dispute the goods shall, upon prior notification to the Seller, be re-examined by the Institute of Applied Botany, Hamburg/Germany (Staatsinstitut für angewandte Botanik), whose analysis shall be recognized as decisive by both parties. The expenses shall be borne by the losing party.
- If the Buyer has justifiably complained about perceptible defects or deficient germination vigour, the Seller shall be obligated to take back the goods, but not to deliver replacement goods, nor to grant a price discount, nor to pay compensation for damages.
- In the case of all other defects the Seller shall be liable for
damages proved in due time and not exceeding the invoiced amount for
the goods in question; no further liability will be assumed. The Buyer
shall waive all other statutory or private claims. The same shall apply
in the event that goods other than those specified are delivered. The
descriptions given in this catalogue are not to be regarded as warranted
qualities.
The Seller does not accept any responsibility for the outdoor viability of the goods as this is dependent on outside influences beyond control.
Furthermore, the Seller is not liable on account of seed infestation and transmission of diseases, pests or weeds. - The place of performance and jurisdiction for both parties is Schwarmstedt / Lüneburg. German law is applicable.
- Acceptance of orders for items which are not yet in stock is subject to the receipt of marketable goods.
Crop failures or non-marketability of goods releases the Seller from his obligation to deliver. - The Seller is entitled to withdraw from the contract or to postpone delivery if, through no fault of his own, prompt delivery is made impossible by interruptions of traffic, measures ordered by public authorities, or other events of force majeure. Furthermore, the Seller is entitled to withdraw from the contract without rendering compensation, if he is given cause to doubt the Buyer's credit standing and the Buyer fails to pay in advance or furnish security at the Seller's request.
- Ownership of all goods supplied by the Seller will be retained by the Seller until all receivables and any balance on current account debitable to the Buyer have been settled or, in the case of payment by cheque or bill of exchange, until such has been honoured.
- The plants grown from the goods shall be deemed as security assigned to the Seller until the aforementioned time or, in the case of outdoor crops, until these have been extracted from the land. In lieu of delivery of the goods the Seller may hold them in safe custody for the creditor free of charge. The German law relating to the safeguarding of fertilizer and seed supplies shall apply mutatis mutandis.
- In the event that the Buyer ceases all payments prior to paying for the goods delivered, the Seller shall have the rights specified in the Bankruptcy Act pertaining to the segregation of goods or the assignment of the right to consideration. The segregatable goods shall be set off against the purchase price claim at 65% of the maximum quantity wholesale price but no higher than 65% of the price invoiced at the time of delivery. The balance of the purchase price shall remain payable.
- Unless otherwise agreed, the above terms and conditions shall apply analogously to the delivery of other horticultural products.
- Should any of the above terms and conditions become legally ineffective on account of cancellation, other agreements or for other reasons, the remaining provisions shall remain binding.
