The Buyer acknowledges that the provisions of Clauses 9(a) and (b) are fair and reasonable given that the Seller is not the manufacturer or producer of the Goods (save in the case of the treatment of seeds by the Seller) and given that the Seller itself only has the benefit of any manufacturer’s or supplier’s guarantee or warranty in respect of Goods (other than seeds).
      4. In the case of Goods which are seeds sold by the Seller to the Buyer, the Seller warrants to the Buyer that such Goods are of the species and type specified by the Seller.
      5. In the case of Goods which are seeds and where such Goods have been specially treated or tested under a Contract, warrants that the Goods have been treated or tested in accordance with the Contract.
      6. In the case of Goods which are seeds and where such Goods are, under a Contract, treated with substances to control pests or diseases or are fumigated or pelleted, the Seller warrants that their quoted purity and germination percentages are derived from tests made before the treatment, fumigation or pelleting.
      7. If and to the extent that the Seller has any legal obligation to the Buyer arising out of the quality, use or fitness for purpose of any Goods, breach of warranty or otherwise, the Seller shall have no liability to the Buyer if;

Such refund or replacement shall be made by the Seller in full and final satisfaction of its obligation to the Buyer.
      9. If the Seller complies with Clause 9(h) it shall have no further liability for a breach of any legal obligation to the Buyer in respect of such Goods.
      10. Notwithstanding Clause 5(c) but subject to Clause 10(a), if Goods are seeds the Seller shall have no liability to the Buyer whatsoever under, or in any way related to, the sale and purchase of the Goods or otherwise, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, in connection with a claim in respect of latent defects (which shall mean that despite the carrying out of an examination or testing, any defects would not become apparent until after use) in such Goods unless it is made within 14 days of their becoming apparent and is accompanied by evidence of the identity of such Goods and the cultivation procedures adopted in respect of them.

If a number of such events give rise to substantially the same loss then this shall be regarded as giving rise to one claim against the Seller.
      12. In the case of Goods which are seeds, unless clearly sold as a genetically modified (GM) variety, such Goods are conventional varieties from parent plants which have not been genetically modified. All reasonable steps have been taken to prevent the adventitious presence of GM material during breeding, production and handling of these Goods (including complying with any separation distances as may be recommended from time to time by relevant bodies) and appropriate batch samples have been tested to ensure compliance with the relevant seed legislation. These Goods are field-grown. Accordingly, no guarantees of absolute freedom from GM impurities can be given since this does not, and cannot, exist in nature. No liability is accepted for any loss or damage whatsoever arising from the possible occurrence of any adventitious traces of GM impurities which are present in such Goods provided at levels below the current maximum legal limit for adventitious presence of GM impurities in EU or UK legislation.
