FARMERSORIGIN LLC TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
1. Applicable Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions of Sale ("Terms") apply to the sale of products by FarmersOrigin LLC ("Seller") to the buyer ("Purchaser"). These Terms apply to sales initiated through quotations, sales confirmations, invoices ("Sales Documents"), or any other means. A contract for sale is formed when Seller confirms Purchaser's order or upon product delivery. These Terms, along with any Sales Documents, constitute the complete agreement for the sale of products, superseding prior discussions and agreements, except for any specific signed contracts between Seller and Purchaser. Additional or differing terms provided by Purchaser are rejected unless explicitly accepted by Seller in writing.
2. Pricing
Prices may change without notice. The price at the time of shipment will be final. If there's a significant price increase, Seller will notify Purchaser, who may cancel the order by notifying Seller within three business days. Prices are FOB Seller's facility, excluding freight, insurance, taxes, duties and other costs.
3. Modifications
Seller reserves the right to modify or discontinue products without liability. Should there be material changes prior to shipment, Seller will notify Purchaser, who may then cancel the order.
4. Delivery and Shipment
Delivery dates are determined by Seller based on product availability. Deliveries are made FOB Seller's facility, with risk of loss passing to Purchaser upon delivery. Seller will arrange shipping at Purchaser's expense, using specified carriers or choosing reasonably. Partial shipments may be made.
5. Inspection; Acceptance
Purchaser must inspect products upon receipt. Rejection is limited to non-conformity with the Limited Warranty or the agreement's terms. Failure to reject within 48 hours of receipt constitutes acceptance.

- Freight cost deduction: should the Purchaser proceed with a full purchase following evaluation, FarmersOrigin LLC agrees to deduct the total freight cost incurred for the sample shipment from the Purchaser's first invoice. This deduction is limited to the first purchase made by the new buyer.
- Request and acceptance: requests for samples must be made in writing, and FarmersOrigin LLC reserves the right to accept or decline sample requests at its discretion, based on availability and eligibility criteria.
- Integration with existing terms: except as expressly modified by this provision, all other terms and conditions remain in full effect.
