All risks of nonperformance, reduced performance and/or crop damage due to these factors shall be assumed by the Purchaser and User. This allocation of risks is reflected in the price of the seed.

Notice of Required Arbitration/Conciliation Mediation Required by Several States: Under the seed laws of several states, ARBITRATION, CONCILIATION or MEDIATION is required as a prerequisite to maintaining a legal action based upon the failure of seed to which this notice is attached to produce as represented.

A copy of the complaint shall be sent to the seller by certified or registered mail or as otherwise provided by statute.
