3. Product Categories

Agro360 operates across two distinct commercial categories:

A. Pollination Equipment & Consumables (Hardware)

Self-service online shop items including electrostatic dusters, knapsack blowers, turbine pollen collectors, calibrated spray nozzles, and natural lycopodium carrier powder. These items can be purchased online via credit card, wire transfer, or digital payment.

B. RUOP-Certified Pure Kiwifruit Pollen (Living Biological Material)

99% pure Actinidia deliciosa and Actinidia chinensis pollen cryo-preserved at -20°C. Critical Notice: Pure kiwifruit pollen is NOT available for direct web checkout. Commercial supply is established via structured relational consultation, per-hectare dosage planning, batch-specific Real-Time PCR analytical certification ("Try first, commit later"), and signed purchase agreements.

Article 04

4. Technical Specifications, Germination Target, and Limitation of Agronomic Warranty

4.1. Physical Purity: Agro360 warrants a physical pollen purity rate of at least 99%, free from foreign floral debris, anther remnants, or particulates capable of blocking application nozzles.

4.2. Germination Target at Origin: Commercial batches feature an indicative in-vitro germination target rate exceeding 90% (verified on modified Brewbaker & Kwack agar medium prior to cryogenic vault placement).

4.3. Nature of the Germination Value and Warranty Limitation:

The germination figure certified in laboratory reports validates the biological condition of the batch upon leaving Agro360 facilities. The Buyer acknowledges that field germination, pollen tube kinetics, fruit set, and final orchard yield depend upon environmental variables beyond Agro360's operational control, including:

Thawing protocols and handling by field operators;
Unbroken maintenance of cold storage following handover;
Ambient weather during dusting/spraying (temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, wind);
Female floral receptivity and floral asynchrony;
Machine calibration and application technique.

Consequently, Agro360 provides no contractual warranty or financial guarantee regarding final orchard yield, total tonnage, or fruit size distribution.

Article 05

5. Phytosanitary Compliance, Plant Passport & RUOP IT-12-1908

5.1. Agro360 operates under Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 on protective measures against plant pests.

5.2. Every batch is issued an official European Plant Passport and undergoes mandatory molecular Real-Time PCR screening in accordance with EPPO PM 7/120 standards, certifying zero detection (PSA-Free) of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae.

Article 08

8. Exclusion of Return Rights for Perishable Biological Assets

8.1. Pursuant to applicable statutory commercial provisions, return rights do not apply to live biological kiwifruit pollen due to its perishable nature and rapid vulnerability to ambient temperature shifts outside Agro360's chain of custody.

8.2. Unused, unopened equipment in original condition may be returned within 14 days subject to written return merchandise authorization (RMA); return freight remains the responsibility of the Buyer.

Article 09

9. Buffer Safety Stock and Commercial Priority Option

For clients requesting safety contingency arrangements during pre-season planning, Agro360 may grant a commercial priority option on safety buffer stock at -20°C through the bloom window, subject to vault availability ("while supplies last"). Specific quantities, fulfillment priorities, and commercial terms are agreed upon in individual order confirmations without imposing disproportionate strict liabilities.

Article 10

10. Force Majeure

Agro360 is not liable for performance delays or non-delivery resulting from events beyond reasonable control, including catastrophic frosts in donor orchards, severe natural disasters, disruptions of cryogenic supply inputs, border closures, phytosanitary quarantine restrictions, or national transit strikes.
