Graines Voltz consolidates and strengthens its position on the market, thanks to the seed technology of the Ball Group and to its own seed technology procedures. Our large assortment of seeds are treated with the most progressive technologies: de-winging, Ȍlm-coating, pelleting and sophisticated treatments for priming, all these will offer you the best starting conditions for your crop success. Primed seeds Multi-pelleted seeds Pelleted seeds The most advanced seed-treatment method. The germination process is stimulated and stopped afterwards. The seeds are desiccated for storage then. Immediately after sowing the seeds are ready to emerge. This method accelerates the seeds emergence and ensures a more homogeneous gemination, particularly under extreme conditions with higher or lower temperatures. This technology allows the fusion of several raw seeds to one seed pill. A single passage with the precision seed drill is necessary for a sowing without gaps. The coating of Ȍne seeds allows an automatic sowing: the seed pills have an average diameter of 1,5 mm. Particularly for certain varieties a smoother surface is achieved for sowings with the precision seed drill. This technique also allows an easier visual control of the distribution of the sowed seeds. Slick-coated seeds Precision seeds The seeds are Ȍrst de-winged and/or calibrated and coated. This exclusive process is different from usual Ȍlmcoatings: the seeds are rounder and smoother which enable easier gliding through the seed drill without electrostatic charging. This enables a faster and more precise sowing. All seed lots contain different seed sizes. In this technique non-viable and small seeds are separated from normal-sized seeds. Graded seed lots deliver more uniform seed sizes and therefore more uniform seedlings. These information are given as a guideline and cannot be guaranteed.

Preamble itself lead to formal notice being given. 13. Terms for return These terms of sale, in accordance with professional regulations and national and international practices, explicitly apply, unless there are specific agreements, to all our sales, and in particular to sales made to horticulturists, market gardeners, vegetable growers, seedling growers, nurserymen, conservationists, processors, local authorities, groups, dealers, landscape architects, golf courses, etc. The act of placing an order implies the acceptance of the terms of sale shown in our catalogue or in any other commercial document from our Company. In the event of staggered payment which our departments have accepted in advance, the failure to settle one due payment immediately makes the whole debt due for payment. Finally, in the event of delay in payment, we shall be authorised to cancel ongoing contracts and orders without prejudicing any other course of action. This shall mean that we are released from all our undertakings. Any product return must be the subject of a formal agreement between the seller and the purchaser. Any return request must be made within a period of eight days after shipment. Only goods returned with their original packaging intact shall be the subject of a credit note, which however shall not exceed 60% of the initial value. Any product returned without this agreement shall be kept at the disposal of the purchaser and shall not give rise to the issue of any credit note. 2. Prices People with whom we do not have any commercial relationship are requested to send a payment with their first order equal to the amount of its value or to authorise us to make the shipment under cash on delivery terms or else to sign a direct debit payment form. The prices are those which are determined by our price lists valid on the date of the order. They are understood to be exclusive of tax and of packaging and transport costs. They may be amended without prior notification at any time and are established subject to any major changes in the economic conditions. 8. New customers 9. Repackaging by the purchaser The price given in a column applies as from the quantity shown at the top of that column. If our customer intends to replace the original packaging of the goods we delivered to him/her, by dint of law no. 64-1360 of 31 December 1964 on trademarks, he/she does not have the right to use our trademark for the repackaged products. This repackaging results in complete release from any liability as far as Graines VOLTZ is concerned. We deliver in the most economical packaging available at the time of delivery. 10. Conditions of use of the products / liability In the event of an order in specific packaging, an additional charge may be agreed per packaging for its manufacture. Use, by the purchaser, of the products is restricted to the production of a single commercial crop. Production excludes any reproduction of seeds and any vegetative propagation. Unless there is any contrary legislative provision, any use of the products – including that of parental lines which may fortuitously be present amongst the latter – for research, selection or molecular or genetic characterisation purposes is strictly forbidden. In the event of resale of the products to a third party, the purchaser shall be obliged to inform the third parties of the obligations described above. Any failure to abide by the above-mentioned restrictions of use shall be the subject of legal proceedings against the purchaser. The prices given for the various qualities apply when these are ordered in one individual order and per delivery. 3. Transport and packaging costs For every order, we will invoice, in addition to the goods, an amount corresponding to the costs of packaging, transport and administration, in accordance with our valid price lists. 4. Orders Orders are carried out as far as it is possible to do so. Deliveries will be made depending on supplies and availabilities. They may be in full or in part. In the event of an insufficient crop or no crop at all, due to weather disruptions and any kind of cultivation incidents, a partial or total reduction will be applied to the order. No compensation may be claimed by the purchaser as a result. The transactions which our Sales Force deals with do not commit us until after confirmation by our Company via an order acknowledgement (ARC in French). We can only make the delivery if the purchaser is up to date in terms of all his/her debts to the Company, whatever the cause of these may be. The lead time is given for information purposes and without any guarantee. 5. Order cancellation Any cancellation, in full or in part, of an order for seedlings on the part of the customer less than 6 weeks before delivery leads ipso jure to a compensation payment set at 50% of the value of the cancelled order, without Graines VOLTZ needing to provide proof that it has suffered a loss due to this cancellation. However, if the products involved in the cancelled order cannot be sold, Graines VOLTZ reserves the right to the option of demanding full compensation for the loss suffered. 6. Shipment / delivery and risks Our goods are transported at the recipient’s own risk, whatever mode of transport is invoiced. They are carefully examined before being packed and handed over to the haulier, who will have issued us with a receipt for the shipment. Graines VOLTZ restricts the use of all products solely to the uses and categories of uses for which they have been authorised. In other words, it forbids any use which is not explicitly indicated on the label; the Company does not accept any liability in the event of a product being used outside the regulatory framework of the law and that for approval. Our products may not be sold on for export without the seller’s explicit authorisation. 11.

The reproduction of protected varieties or the use of registered commercial trade names or trademarks is forbidden, unless there is written authorisation by Graines VOLTZ. The purchaser shall authorise and cooperate with any inspections by Graines VOLTZ with the aim of checking any hindrances to the rights of Graines VOLTZ.

A penalty of 10.00 euros per tray shall be applied in the event of use by a third party without the written agreement of Graines VOLTZ and the boxes will have to be returned to the Graines VOLTZ logistics centres at the customer’s expense. 15. Colour illustrations The colour photos shown in our catalogues were taken in favourable growing conditions and identical results cannot necessarily be guaranteed. In some cases, they cannot give a 100% accurate reproduction of the plant due to printing conditions. Plant colours, shades and cycles are given for information purposes and are not contractual. 16. Cases of force majeure Orders will be carried out except for cases of force majeure. The following are deemed to be cases of force majeure, but this is not an exhaustive list: acts of war, strikes, fires and accidents in any of the companies involved in the production and distribution of the products and seedlings. 17.

Moreover, for any late payment, as of right, and with no prior notification required, an indemnity will be imposed for collection charges at a flat rate amount of 40 €. This indemnity may be increased if the collection charges exceed the flat rate, upon presentation of documentary proof.

If the conditions defined above are not adhered to, acceptance will be deemed to have been without reservations and the liability of Graines VOLTZ for any defect of conformity of the products may no longer be claimed. Considering the nature of the products sold, the seller’s liability, in the event of errors or defects which are acknowledged or established, may not under any circumstances, and in particular in terms of authenticity, varietal purity, species purity or germination capacity, of resistance conformity, of resistance to strains or races, of diseases unknown as of now and of notified tolerances, exceed the amount of the supply of the delivered item, including the proven costs arising from returning the goods. In order to guarantee the quality as indicated above, the purchaser is forbidden to grade, calibrate, coat or treat the products supplied in whatever way himself, or to have this carried out by a third party. We will carefully examine any claim which might be made against us as a result of an error on our part and, if applicable, we will not refuse to replace or reimburse all or part of the offending goods. Failure to pay after the due date, regardless of whether it is total or partial, will result in a penalty, as of right, with the application of a fixed indemnity of 15% on the amount of the unpaid sum. The purchaser is also aware that the illustrations, catalogues or other descriptions of Graines VOLTZ relating to the quality, weight and measurements of the products are as far as possible in accordance with the tests and experience of Graines VOLTZ.

Non-payment of our invoices shall The purchaser is also aware that the products are not suitable for human or animal consumption.

Within the framework of the normal running of his/her business, the purchaser is authorised to resell the goods supplied. However, he/she may not pledge them or transfer his/her ownership as a guarantee. In the event of resale, in doing so he/she transfers to us all the accounts receivable arising from his/her profit from the resale to the third party purchaser. The authorisation to resell is automatically withdrawn in the event of payment being stopped. In the event of a seizure or any other action by a third party, the purchaser is obliged to inform us about this immediately.

He/she shall also bear the costs of insurance. 19. Results As the results obtained do not just depend on the product and its quality, but also on factors which are difficult or impossible to evaluate or foresee and which may vary, in particular depending on the regions, environment, agronomic and atmospheric conditions, on the technicians and on the operations involved in cultivation, the advice and suggestions are only given purely for information purposes and cannot as a result entail a crop guarantee. 20.
