should give such instructions beforehand. Partial shipments may be necessary.

fulfilled. On all overdue accounts 1% interest per month will be charged, together with the administration and
collection expenses.
7. Due to Value Added Tax rules which apply to the import and export of goods between member states of the European
Community, the supply of goods to a VAT]registered buyer in another EC]country will be zero]rated if the buyer's VAT
number is known to us. If not, then VAT at the Dutch rate (currently 6% on seeds, bulbs and plants and 19% on
additional charges) will be charged.
8. The seller warrants the goods to be true to name, sound and healthy at the time of loading. As the subsequent
cultivation of the plants falls beyond his control he cannot be held responsible for growing and/or flowering results.
9. All orders are booked subject to crop/availability and for countries outside the EU also subject to availability of the
correct paperwork such as plant passport numbers and declarations on certificates for re]export. Total or partial failure
of any harvest, owing to frost, flooding, drought or other natural causes, or loss or damage to seller's stocks by causes
beyond his control, preventing the seller from fully performing an accepted order, shall relieve the seller from his
obligations under the present contract to a corresponding extent.
10. If any delivery to be made under an accepted order is cancelled wholly or in part at the instance of the buyer, the seller
will be entitled to claim compensation from the buyer for the estimated loss.
11. All complaints should be made within 8 days from receipt of goods.
12. If at time of shipment the buyer's financial responsibility appears unsatisfactory to the seller, the seller may at his
option, cancel this order, as a whole or in part, provided that he shall promptly advise the buyer of such cancellation;
and the seller shall not be responsible for any damages whatsoever arising from such cancellation.
The seller is, in some cases, entitled to ask for a partial or total prepayment.

prices and description.
