Triangle Hemp (TH LLC)

This agreement is made by and between Triangle Hemp, LLC (“TH LLC”) and you (“RECIPIENT”). All parties guarantee that they are state licensed / registered entities operating in compliance with the 2014 or 2018 Farm Bill. TH LLC asks that the RECIPIENT agree to the following before the RECIPIENT receives plant materials (“MATERIAL”) requested from TH LLC:

1. RECIPIENT warrants that the transfer of MATERIAL is not for the purpose of seed multiplication, creation of new hybrid lines derived from MATERIAL, inbreeding of MATERIAL, or use in the production of seed for resale or barter. 
2. RECIPIENT agrees not to sell, exchange, lease, donate or otherwise make available to any third party cuttings, tissue, seeds, or pollen for the purpose of multiplying or maintaining seeds or derivative plants in their fundamental characteristic form or for the creation of new hybrid lines derived from original MATERIAL supplied by TH LLC. RECIPIENT is hereby informed that no property rights, seed productive rights, or seed multiplication rights are given to the RECIPIENT by TH LLC and transfer of MATERIAL to any third party is expressly prohibited. 
3. RECIPIENT acknowledges that transfer of MATERIAL by TH LLC to RECIPIENT is for purposes allowed under the 2014 or 2018 Farm Bill. 
4. RECIPIENT assumes all liability for damages that may arise from use, storage, or disposal of MATERIAL. TH LLC will not be liable to RECIPIENT for any loss, claim, or demand made by the RECIPIENT, or made against the RECIPIENT by any other party due to or arising from the use, storage, or disposal of the MATERIAL. The RECIPIENT agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend TH LLC against any claims, costs, or other liabilities that may arise as a result of RECIPIENT’s use, storage, or disposal of MATERIAL. 
5. RECIPIENT agrees to indemnify TH LLC for reasonable attorney fees and costs of litigation based on or arising from RECIPIENT’s misuse of seed according to the said terms.

All information relating to varieties, varietal characteristics or periods of maturity and all descriptions and illustrations contained in the TH LLC’s catalog, price list, and advertisements or otherwise communicated to the RECIPIENT are intended to present merely a general idea of the MATERIAL described and shall not form part of the agreement or constitute a representation. 
7. Disease of plants can be transmitted by wind, insects, animals, or by human agencies and can be seed or soil borne. TH LLC believes the MATERIAL transferred subject to this agreement to be free from latent defect. It is not a condition of transfer or a warranty that any MATERIAL is free from such a defect. 
8. MATERIAL will perform differently in different growing environments and therefore no warranty can be given as to the nature, size, or appearance of any plants grown from the MATERIAL. RECIPIENT shall be solely responsible for determining whether or not the anticipated growing conditions are suitable for the MATERIAL and any advice given by TH LLC in this respect shall be given without liability to TH LLC and shall not be deemed to be a representation.
