Dear Customer and Industry Partner,
It is with great pleasure that we introduce our new catalogue of HM.CLAUSE Pacific material to our Australian and New Zealand customers.
This catalogue is a demonstration of how far we have developed the range of products through our many and varied breeding programs, including but not limited to: broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, beans, capsicum, tomatoes, melons, zucchini and lettuce.
In only a short period of time we have been able to introduce a wide variety of new and improved varieties to suit the tailored needs of each operation. Based on solid research and development work, these introductions have now become the consistent and reliable product required in today’s fluctuating environment. Varieties such as Hickok bean, Quattro, Cayman and Solanor capsicum, Fargo and Sucro melon, Genio tomato and Naruto cauliflower are just a few of these products which exemplify our drive for product quality.
Encompassing the entire HM.CLAUSE product range, and more recently sister company Vilmorin’s lettuce range, HM.CLAUSE Pacific is capable of delivering a wide array of varieties from both European and American genetics to accommodate the various needs of our customers. With all three companies belonging to the Limagrain Group, direct relationships with breeders and product managers worldwide is even greater to ensure the best advice and recommendations are given to you. This is something we pride ourselves on, along with our strong business ethics.
Through this diverse and well researched range we believe we have something to offer your business and improve your bottom line to ensure a mutually successful future!

+ Immunity: not subject to attack or infection by a specified pest or pathogen.
+ Resistance is the ability of a plant variety to restrict the growth and development of a specified pest or pathogen and/or the damage they cause when compared to susceptible plant varieties under similar environmental conditions and pest or pathogen pressure. Resistant varieties may exhibit some disease symptoms or damage under heavy pest or pathogen pressure. Two levels of resistance are defined :
+ High/standard resistance (HR): plant varieties that highly restrict the growth and development of the specified pest or pathogen under normal pest or pathogen pressure when compared to susceptible varieties. These plant varieties may, however, exhibit some symptoms or damage under heavy pest or pathogen pressure.
+ Moderate/intermediate resistance (IR): plant varieties that restrict the growth and development of the specified pest or pathogen, but may exhibit a greater range of symptoms or damage compared to high/standard resistant varieties. Moderately/intermediately resistant plant varieties will still show less severe symptoms or damage than susceptible plant varieties when grown under similar environmental conditions and/or pest or pathogen pressure.
+ Susceptibility is the inability of a plant variety to restrict the growth and development of a specified pest or pathogen.

oo The gene, which controls the resistance to Nematode attacks “M”, is at the moment the only one used in our commercial varieties. This gene has an effect against the following Nematode species : Meloïdogyne incognita - Meloïdogyne are-naria - Meloïdogyne javanica. The level of resistance of this gene is reduced, and can be completely cancelled by temperatures equal to or above 27°C, particularly in soils with a heavy infestation of Nematodes.

Preamble – Important reminder:These general terms and conditions of sale, complying with the rules of the profession, national and international customary practices, are expressly applicable, unless there are special agreements, to all sales of vegetable, flower, medicinal and aromatic seed, including seed delivered in bulk, and particularly to sales to horticulturists, market gardeners, producers, vegetable producers, plant producers, nurserymen, processors, communities, groupings, retailers, baggers, importers whatsoever, and more generally to all experienced and knowledgeable professionals («purchaser(s)»).
The fact of placing an order therefore implies the purchaser’s acceptance of the general terms and conditions of sale printed on the catalogues, invoices, delivery sheets, price lists, etc., or any other CLAUSE («seller») commercial document, if there is one, and this, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the purchaser’s general purchasing terms and conditions, purchase orders and other documents, including commercial documents.
The descriptions, recommendations, suggestions, markets, vegetation cycles and earliness which may be presented on all media (catalogues or other commercial documents) intended for experienced and knowledgeable professionals («purchaser(s)»), are the results of our observations, and are proposed in good faith, on an indicative basis only, and consequently shall in no case be considered as exhaustive, contain any guarantee of a crop, judge specific factors or circumstances in advance (present or future), and, more generally, constitute a contractual commitment whatsoever, or for which the seller may be held liable in any way.
Guarantees:The seller guarantees to the purchaser that he will supply him with fair, healthy and marketable goods, and this, in the present state of technical knowledge at the production period, in compliance with the regulations and customary practices in the seed trade. In view of the nature of the products sold (live products subject to a large number of external hazards when used), the results obtained do not depend solely on the variety and the quality of the seed. Consequently, the purchaser alone shall be responsible for determining the conditions under which the seed is used, and, above all, must particularly ensure the suitability of the local geographic conditions, the intended period for the cultivation, the soil, and his resources (such as technical knowledge and experience, cultivation techniques and operations), physical (such as tests and control methods) and equipment and, in a more general way, his agronomic, climatic, atmospheric, environmental and economic context with the crops, the techniques and the variety presented.
Accordingly, the seller may be held liable, either partially or totally, only in the case of an acknowledged and established defect or non-compliance. Seller’s liability may in no case, particularly with regard to the authenticity or varietal purity, specific purity, germinative capacity, compliance with resistance to strains or race of diseases recognised to date, exceed the total value of the goods delivered, including the documented costs for the return of the said goods.
Unless there is a special agreement with the seller, the various varieties of seeds shall be delivered to the purchaser for sale and/or resale exclusively under the seller’s varietal name and trademark. Consequently, the purchaser shall formally refrain from removing the seed from its packing and/or sachets which had been sold in the original packaging, for the purposes of repackaging and/or processing he in any way whatsoever (coating, film coating, treatment or other), and/or resale in open packaging. He undertakes to have his own customers abide by this clause. In the event that the purchaser or his own customers do not comply with this obligation, the seller shall not be held liable in any way whatsoever for the goods delivered by him, and the purchaser shall accept full liability for the consequences which may arise from failure to comply with this obligation.
The purchaser shall be informed of the approximate number of seeds for each variety sold by the seller, for information purposes only. In fact, this number may vary due, among other reasons, to the seed batches concerned and seed production results.
The goods are not suitable for human or animal consumption and are delivered by the seller for the purchaser’s own use or for his own customers conforming to their intended use. Consequently, the seller may in no case be held liable for a use of the said goods and its consequences that do not comply with their intended uses. Similarly, any multiplication, production, reproduction and/or re-export of the goods by the purchaser or his own customers is formally prohibited.
At any time, the seller may check that the foregoing provisions are fully respected, without prejudice to any other action by the seller. The purchaser undertakes to ensure that his own customers comply with this clause.
The seller may not be held liable for any damage which could result from his packaging and conditioning whatever they may be.
The seller shall not accept, regardless of the reason, any return of goods except if he agrees thereto in writing in advance, in which case, all related costs and risks shall be exclusively borne by the purchaser.
Retention of ownership clause:The seller formally retains ownership of the goods delivered until full payment thereof has been made by the purchaser.
In the meaning of this provision, drafts, or any other instrument creating an obligation to pay, does not constitute payment. Any deposit paid shall remain acquired by the seller, as a fixed-sum compensation, without prejudice to any other action that the seller may take.
Within the scope of the normal operation of his establishment, the purchaser is authorised to resell the goods delivered, but he cannot either give them or pledge them, nor transfer ownership thereof as a security. In the case where the purchaser resells them, he also accordingly transfers to the seller, all the receivables arising from purchaser’s profit generated by the resale to the third party purchaser.
The authorisation to resell shall be automatically withdrawn from the buyer in case the latter becomes insolvent.
In the case of confiscation or any other action by a third party, the purchaser shall be obliged to inform the seller immediately and to bear the cost of the risks whatever they may be, notwithstanding the application of this clause, including in the case of loss or destruction, even after delivery of the goods. He shall also pay the costs of insurance.
Case of force majeure:Orders shall not be filled in a case of force majeure.
As a non-limitative example, are considered as cases of force majeure, atmospheric, climatic, environment disturbances, facts of war, strikes, fires and accidents in all the enterprises participating in the production (including cultivation accidents of any nature leading to alterations in the quantity and quality of the seed sold) and the seed distribution.
Intellectual and Industrial Property:Unless the seller authorises it in writing beforehand, the purchaser shall refrain, both in his own name and in the name of his customers, from filing, registering and, more generally, obtaining any protection whatsoever on the varieties, trademarks, distinctive signs, trade names, patents, domain names, know-how, drawings and models, copyright or, more generally, any intellectual or industrial property right whatsoever, which is the property of the seller or which he works or uses in his activity.
The purchaser undertakes to inform the seller immediately, and by any means, of any infringement of his property rights and/or intellectual or industrial property rights and/or titles and to fully co-operate with the seller.
These general terms and conditions of sale may not be interpreted as granting the purchaser any intellectual or industrial right to the seller’s goods as well as to the packaging and/or media and/or related documents.
At any time, the seller may check that the foregoing provisions are fully respected, without prejudice to any other action by the seller. The purchaser undertakes to ensure that his own customers comply with this clause.
Orders:Once the seller has confirmed the order, it shall be filled insofar as possible, and the goods shall be delivered, insofar as possible, on the dates requested by the purchaser.
Furthermore, the seller recommends purchasers to give very exact instructions for shipping. The seller declines all liability if errors occur through lack of information.
In the case of a partial or nil crop or production, particularly caused by a case of force majeure, a reduction shall be partially or totally granted for the order.
Deliveries shall be made according to supplies and availabilities in sufficient quantity and quality. In the case of partial delivery, the products shall be invoiced in proportion to the quantities delivered.
No compensation (particularly all damages of any nature whatsoever) may consequently be claimed, particularly for partial delivery, non-delivery or late delivery.
The seller shall only deliver seed once a germination test has been carried out on the batch concerned. In the event that the purchaser nevertheless asks the seller to deliver the seed before the germination test has been completed, the purchaser shall accept full responsibility for the consequences of the seed batch’s germination.
Risks:The goods travel at the purchaser’s risk, including if they travel in accordance with the purchaser’s written instructions, and even if sent carriage paid or ex-works, and regardless of the means of transport: by road, rail, sea, air, post, etc.
Similarly, unless there are special terms and conditions, any delay in delivery/loss/damage caused to the goods during transport and any consequences shall be borne exclusively by the purchaser.
The consignee shall be obliged to confirm his reserves to the haulier, with justification by registered letter with acknowledgement for receipt posted within three days following receipt of the goods or within any other time limit stipulated by the applicable legislation. No action can be taken against the haulier if these formalities are not fulfilled.
Time limits for complaints:Any complaint concerning the external appearance and specific purity should be made within 12 days after the goods’ arrival, on the germinative capacity within 45 days of the goods’ arrival, on the authenticity and the varietal purity within normal time limits for sowing and checked immediately after the delivery date. In all cases, the seller shall not accept any complaint in the event that the seed was repackaged by the purchaser or by his own customers.
Prices:The prices charged by the seller and given in his price lists (price lists exclusive of GST published and distributed by the seller) are understood to be ex-works, unless otherwise stated on the invoice. Unless there is a special condition, the prices applicable shall be those in force on the day the order is confirmed.
Unless there are special terms and conditions, all taxes, transport costs, insurance, certifications, authorisations, bank charges and packaging and conditioning charges shall appear separately on the invoice issued by the seller.
Each order shall be subject to administrative charges as indicated in the seller’s pricing terms.
The prices charged are generally set by the seller at the start of the Australian fiscal year and valid for a period of 12 consecutive months, however the seller reserves the right to modify them at any time during this period.
Payment:Any payment shall be considered as having been made on the date on which the purchaser has made funds available to the seller All the seller’s goods shall be payable at the domicile thereof.
Unless otherwise stated on the invoice, payments shall be made at 30 days from the date of the invoice. With regard to purchasers who have had one or more payment incidents or more generally a dispute and who cleared their account, purchasers who have been the subject of collective proceedings, or any other similar proceedings, according to the applicable legislation in force, and for new purchasers, orders will only be delivered for one year against immediate payment on the delivery date or against payment in advance, according to the seller’s wishes, due to substantial risks of insolvency. This shall be the case unless the seller has stipulated special terms and conditions, in particular justified by favourable information on the purchaser’s solvency. Furthermore, and in any case, in the event of unfavourable information on a purchaser’s solvency, delivery shall only be made to the latter against immediate payment on the date of delivery or against payment in advance, according to the seller’s wishes, unless the seller has stipulated special terms and conditions.
In the case of late payment, the seller may suspend or cancel all current orders until full payment has been made of all sums due thereto by the purchaser, without prejudice to any other means of action and/or damages that the seller reserves the right to claim. The purchaser may not take any action against the seller and/or claim any compensation due to the said suspension or cancellation. Any sum not paid at the due date given on the invoice shall lead to the penalties for late payment being immediately applied, without the need for any formality, calculated on the total amount of the invoice, including all taxes. Interest will be charged at the Reserve Bank of Australia applicable Official interest rate + 500 Basis Points, and payable on the day following the payment date given on the invoices, as well as the immediate requirement to pay all sums due for other deliveries. These terms may be changed according to the laws in force.
Any invoice not fully paid at the latest on its due date and collected by the seller’s legal department, shall be increased, immediately and without the need for any formality, by a fixed-sum indemnity of 15% of the amount of the unpaid sums.
Applicable law – Assignment of jurisdiction:These General Terms and Conditions of Sales are subject to the laws of the state of Victoria (Australia) which are solely applicable.
For any dispute concerning the said general terms and conditions of sale, the courts in the location of the seller’s domicile shall alone have jurisdiction, even in the case of emergency interim proceedings, the introduction of a third party or multiple defendants. In the case of an invoice unpaid on the due date thereof, the seller shall have the right serve a writ against him in the location of his domicile.
Data protection:You have a right to access and rectify all your personal data. The seller shall use the information you provide for the purpose of administrative and commercial management. If you wish to have part of your personal data changed or deleted, please write for this purpose to the HM.CLAUSE Pacific address above.
