Payment must be received before seed is shipped unless terms are granted. Terms are 1% discount when paid within 30 days from invoice date, NET 60 days. A 1% per month finance charge (12% annual rate) will be added to all past due balances at the end of each month.
Your price is determined by referring to the product price and deducting the Customer Discount for which you qualify. This discount applies to all contract and spot orders except Asparagus and Cobaea. Contact your PanAmerican Seed sales representative for Asparagus and Cobaea pricing.
No seed may be returned without first obtaining written authorization. Authorized returns will only be considered if they are in original, unopened PanAmerican Seed packages. All returns are subject to a 15% service charge.
No credit or replacement will be given for seed returned after nine (9) months from our ship date. Because Primed seed is perishable and has a short shelf life, no returns will be accepted one-hundred and twenty (120) days from our ship date.

In the event of bankruptcy, products delivered by PanAmerican Seed remain the property of PanAmerican Seed until the buyer has paid the purchase amount.
