1. Definitions


GMF: the limited liability company Green Mushroom Farm

has entered into, or wishes to enter into, an

agreement, as well as its/his (authorised)

representative(s), successor(s) in title and heir(s).


2. Applicability


2.1. These general conditions shall apply to all purchase

agreements under which GMF acts as buyer, as well as to all

requests and orders by GMF, whereby an order shall also be

regarded as an offer.


2.2. These general conditions shall also apply if GMF expressly

accepts an offer from the Supplier, with reference to these

general conditions.


2.3. Deviations from these general conditions must always be

agreed in writing with the Supplier; the Supplier cannot invoke

earlier deviations made in a contractual relationship with GMF.


2.4. General sale and/or purchase conditions of the Supplier shall

not be binding on GMF.


2.5. If and insofar as it is established in court that any provision of

these general conditions cannot be invoked, the provision in

question shall be interpreted to have a content and scope as

equivalent as possible, whereby it can be invoked. In that case,

the other provisions of these conditions shall remain in force.


2.6. The headers of the articles do not have any independent

meaning and parties will not be able to derive any rights

therefrom.


3. Offers, agreements


3.1. All requests, orders or offers made by GMF or its subordinates

in any form whatsoever, are always free of obligation, unless

otherwise indicated.

GMF within 48 hours after the Supplier's acceptance has been

sent or, if the offer originates from the Supplier, by acceptance

thereof.


3.3. GMF is entitled to substitute another party for both agreements

entered into and their performance.


3.4. Even after the agreement has been concluded, the Supplier is

still obliged to implement all the desired non-fundamental

delivery time, it shall notify GMF of this without delay, stating

the customers of GMF as a result of non-delivery or late

delivery by the Supplier.

in part by third parties at the Supplier's expense and risk, after

written notification to the Supplier.


8. Payment

against its own claims on the Supplier.
