DISCLAIMER. The proper functioning of CDMS Software

by various sources. Although CDMS has sought to
facilitate Users' and Customers' creation of functional
databases, such accuracy, adequacy and timeliness are not
guaranteed, and CDMS shall have no liability of any kind
whatsoever on account of any inadequacies and/or

WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. CDMS MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO SERVICES OR DATA
MADE AVAILABLE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE
WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR
MERCHANTABILITY. USER AGREES THAT CDMS IS PROVIDING ONLY

shall not be liable for any lost profits, lost savings or

damages. No action shall be brought by either party more
than one (1) year after the cause of action has accrued
except that an action for nonpayment may be brought

USER INDEMNIFICATION OF CDMS. User understands and
agrees that User accepts full responsibility for the
accuracy, adequacy and timeliness of User created
databases and agrees to waive any claim and indemnify
CDMS against any injury, damage or expenses resulting
from the use of such data by User in any form. In
addition, User, on behalf of itself, and any employees,
agents, successors, parent corporations, affiliate
corporations, predecessor corporations and successor
corporations, in all capacities, including individually,
agrees to indemnify and hold CDMS harmless from loss,
detriment, damage, charges, costs and expenses arising
out of the entry of User's data and subsequent use of all
databases in CDMS Software, anticipated by User or not.
REGARDING CDMS DATABASES.
A. CDMS has contracted with
numerous seed companies (herein collectively referred to
as "Customers") of seed brands to create a
CDMS Customer Product Seed Database which consists of information,
attributes and characteristics relating to seed use as
each seed company has interpreted such information
as to the amount, kind, and
degree of specificity of information regarding the use
of their product(s). These seed companies have assumed all
responsibility for the accuracy, adequacy and timeliness
of the data entered into the
CDMS Customer Product Seed Database. Such data in
general include information such as sees characteristics, relative
maturity, GMO traits, disease resistance, herbicide
tolerance, soil type, yield information, and geographical
use information. Any information made available
to User from the CDMS Customer Product Seed Database or
any other source is made available using
tele-communications. User acknowledges that in he event
the aforementioned tele-communications service is out of
order, disconnected, or otherwise interrupted,
communication will not be possible. User further
acknowledges and agrees that communications are sent over
Internet networks which are wholly beyond the control and
jurisdiction of CDMS and are maintained and serviced by
the applicable Internet companies.
B. For applicable services,
a User may, at its sole discretion, create a
User Product Seed Database for products not included in the
CDMS Customer Product Seed Database. User Product Seed Database will
be available only to the entering User and
will be unavailable for viewing, use, change
or for any other purpose by any other
CDMS User or Customer. Regardless that
User utilizes CDMS licensed software in creating and/or downloading
this data base, it shall be User's sole
responsibility to interpret the appropriate and necessary information
to be included in such User Product
Seed Database. User shall be solely responsible for the
accuracy, adequacy and timeliness of such data bases.
C. For applicable services a User may create a Client
Database which includes that information which User in
User's sole discretion determines is appropriate and/or
necessary to facilitate the recommendation, application,
sale or other use of products included in either the CDMS
Customer Product Seed Database or the User Product Seed
Database by that client. User's Client Database shall be
available only to User and unavailable for viewing, use,
change or any other purpose by any other CDMS User or
Customer. User shall be solely responsible for the
accuracy, adequacy and timeliness of such database.
D. User created databases shall be created
through the licensed use of CDMS Software. Use of said software
shall in no event transfer responsibility from User to CDMS for the
appropriateness, accuracy, completeness or timeliness of the
information selected by User for entry into User's databases. Said
responsibility shall remain solely with User. User specifically
understands that the format of the product data entry software may not adequately anticipate and allow for
the entry of all restrictions, rules
and limitations in the use of the
product. User, however, shall have complete control
over and be solely responsible for the content,
accuracy and timeliness of its data. User shall be
solely responsible for correcting, updating, adding, deleting, or otherwise
editing or changing its data as User in its
sole discretion decides. User's additions, corrections, or other editing shall
be performed by User.
E.
User understands that the databases created by User for its
own use will, through the operation of
applicable CDMS services, be integrated into and form
the basis for writing client use recommendations, the
selection of products for use on a specific crop
and the sale of agricultural chemicals or application of agricultural
chemicals by or for User's customers. User accepts full
responsibility for the accuracy, adequacy and timeliness of
its data bases and agrees to waive any
claim and indemnify CDMS and all
Customers against any injury, damage or expense resulting from the
above-described or any other contemplated use
of products included in any CDMS database.
UTILIZING DATABASES. Through applicable CDMS services, User may access User
CDMS databases for purposes of cross referencing
to obtain information regarding the use of
a product. All actual product use will
create a further database which can be assessed and
produce various reports. CDMS shall be allowed to create
summaries of product use data.
