STANDING CROP SALE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
__________, of __________, mobile __________ (the "Seller");
AND
__________, of __________, mobile __________ (the "Buyer").
- 1. THE CROP
1.2 The Seller states that the Crop is his own, free of any pledge or claim of another person, and that no one else has been promised it.
- 2. PRICE AND PAYMENT
- 3. HARVEST AND REMOVAL
3.2 The Buyer may enter the field only to cut and carry the Crop within that time. He shall not damage the field bunds, watercourses, tubewell, trees or other property of the Seller, and shall not graze animals or stack material on the land beyond what harvesting needs.
3.3 The Seller keeps possession of the land throughout. This agreement gives the Buyer no lease, tenancy or other right in the land.
3.4 If the Buyer does not finish by the Last Date, the Seller may harvest or dispose of what is left on the Buyer's account, after giving the Buyer seven days' written notice, and may keep from the amount paid whatever loss he suffers, giving an account of it.
- 4. RISK
4.1 Until the Crop is cut, the Seller looks after it. If the Crop is destroyed or badly damaged before harvest by hail, flood, fire, pest, theft or any other cause outside the Buyer's control, the Buyer may either take what is left at a fair reduced price agreed in writing or cancel this agreement, and in the second case the Seller shall return what the Buyer has paid within fifteen days.
4.2 Once the Buyer has cut the Crop, it is at the Buyer's risk. Any compensation or insurance money for loss to the Crop before harvest belongs to the Seller unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.
4.3 The Buyer shall not burn any crop residue left on the land in breach of any law or order for the time being in force.
- 5. DISPUTES
5.1 The parties shall first try to settle any dispute by talking, if they wish with the help of respected elders or the village panchayat.
- 6. GENERAL
6.1 This is the whole agreement on this Crop. Any change must be in writing and signed by both parties.
