TREE SALE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
__________, of __________, mobile __________ (the "Seller");
AND
__________, of __________, mobile __________ (the "Buyer").
- 1. THE TREES
1.2 The Seller states that the Trees are his own, that they are free of any pledge, loan or claim of another person, and that he has not promised them to anyone else.
- 2. PRICE AND PAYMENT
- 3. PERMISSION
3.2 Each party shall give the other the papers and information that the application reasonably needs. If the permission is refused, this agreement is cancelled and the Seller shall return the advance within fifteen days; neither party then owes the other anything more.
- 4. FELLING AND REMOVAL
4.2 The Buyer shall fell only the Trees sold, and shall take care not to hurt any person or animal or to damage the field crop, bunds, watercourses, tubewell, electric lines or neighbouring land. He is responsible for any such damage and for the safety of his labour.
4.3 After felling, the Buyer shall remove the wood, the branches and the stumps that stand in the way of ploughing, or fill the pits left, and leave the field fit for the next crop. Branches and leaves he does not take shall be heaped at the field edge. He shall not burn them.
4.4 The Seller keeps possession of the land throughout. This agreement gives the Buyer no lease, tenancy or other right in the land, and the Buyer shall not plant, build or store anything on it.
- 5. RISK
5.1 Until felling begins the Seller looks after the Trees. If wind, storm, fire or any other cause outside the Buyer's control destroys or badly damages a substantial part of the Trees before then, the Buyer may 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. Once a tree is felled, the risk of it is the Buyer's.
- 6. DISPUTES
6.1 The parties shall first try to settle any dispute by talking, if they wish with the help of respected elders or the village panchayat.
- 7. GENERAL
7.1 This is the whole agreement on the Trees. Any change must be in writing and signed by both parties.
