1. RECITALS
WHEREAS:
A. The Seller is engaged in the production, processing, or trading of fresh berries and produce;
B. The Buyer wishes to purchase berries and produce from the Seller;
C. Both parties have registered accounts on Berry Marketplace ("the Platform") operated by Nuvagra S.R.L.;
D. Both parties have accepted the Berry Marketplace Platform Terms & Conditions governing platform access, platform services, and electronic contract formation, and have reviewed and accepted the Berry Marketplace Standard Spot Trading Contract Form v[LEGAL FORM VERSION] from which this Contract has been generated;
E. This Contract has been formed through electronic acceptance on the Platform, which both parties acknowledge constitutes a legally binding agreement;
F. The Platform acts solely as a facilitator and is not a party to this Contract;
G. This Contract is a bilateral agreement between the Seller and Buyer, enforceable independently of the Platform;
H. Each party enters into this Contract exclusively in the course of its trade, business, agricultural activity, craft or profession, and not as a consumer. A party that is a natural person confirms that it is legally entitled under the law of its country to conduct that activity and to sell or purchase the Goods, and contracts in its own name in that professional capacity.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein, the parties agree as follows:
2. DEFINITIONS

"Claim" means a claim by the Buyer alleging non-conformity of the Goods, notified to the Seller in writing.
"Delivery" means the transfer of the Goods from Seller to Buyer or carrier in accordance with the specified Incoterm.
"Goods" means the Products specified in Section 3 of this Contract.
"Incoterm" means the International Commercial Term specified in this Contract, as published by the International Chamber of Commerce (Incoterms® 2020).

Delivery within the stated tolerance range constitutes full performance and does not constitute a breach of this Contract.

|---|---|
| Price per Unit | [TRADE PRICE PER UNIT] [TRADE CURRENCY]/[TRADE UNIT] |

Seller tax scheme declaration. The Seller has declared on the Platform that it participates in the following special tax scheme: [SELLER TAX SCHEME LABEL].

(a) Payment. The Buyer shall pay the Contract Price in the agreed currency within the payment term specified above. Payment shall be made by bank transfer directly to the Seller in accordance with the Seller's invoice.
(b) Invoice. The Seller shall issue an invoice to the Buyer following contract formation or delivery, as commercially agreed between the parties. The invoice shall include all legally required details, including payment instructions and any Taxes properly chargeable under Section 5.4. Where the Seller is subject to a national electronic invoicing obligation, the Seller shall issue the invoice through that system.
(c) Late Payment. Late payments shall incur interest at 8% above the European Central Bank base rate, calculated daily from the due date until payment in full. The Buyer shall also be responsible for reasonable recovery costs incurred by the Seller as a result of late payment, to the extent recoverable under applicable law.
(d) Platform Role. Berry Marketplace does not process, hold, verify, or guarantee payments between the parties. All payment obligations are strictly between the Buyer and the Seller.
(e) Bank Charges. Each party shall bear the charges imposed by its own bank. Intermediary or correspondent bank charges shall be borne as agreed between the parties or, failing agreement, by the party whose bank or payment route caused such charges.
(f) Suspension for Non-Payment. If the Buyer fails to pay any undisputed amount when due, the Seller may suspend further deliveries under this Contract until payment is made, without prejudice to any other remedy available under this Contract.
5.4 Taxes
(a) Prices exclusive of Taxes. Unless expressly stated otherwise in this Contract, all prices for the Goods are exclusive of VAT and any other sales, turnover, or similar transaction taxes ("Taxes").
(b) Taxes payable in addition. Taxes properly chargeable by the Seller in addition to the price of the Goods under applicable law are payable by the Buyer in addition to that price. Such Taxes do not constitute a change to the agreed price and do not affect the Price Basis stated in Section 5.1.
(c) Seller responsibilities. The Seller is responsible for determining and applying the Taxes properly chargeable on the supply of the Goods under applicable law, and for issuing any invoice or tax document required by applicable law, including any obligation to issue that invoice through a national electronic invoicing system.
(d) Buyer responsibilities. The Buyer is responsible for any import VAT, customs duties, import charges, declarations, and reporting obligations imposed on the Buyer under applicable law or under the agreed Incoterm.
(e) Duties and import charges. Customs duties and import charges are allocated between the parties in accordance with the agreed Incoterm and Section 6, and are not governed by paragraphs (a) to (c) of this Section. Incoterms do not address VAT.
(f) Independent tax compliance. Each party is responsible for its own tax registration, reporting, and payment obligations in its own jurisdiction, for satisfying itself as to the tax treatment of this Contract, and for obtaining its own tax advice.
(g) Special tax schemes. Where a party has declared on the Platform that it participates in a special tax scheme (including, without limitation, an agricultural flat-rate scheme or a small-enterprise exemption), that declaration is made by that party and is not verified by Berry Marketplace. The parties are responsible for confirming the resulting invoicing and tax treatment between themselves.
(h) Role of the Platform. Berry Marketplace does not determine the tax status of either party, does not determine the tax treatment of this Contract, does not provide tax advice, and does not issue the commercial invoice for the sale of the Goods.

8.5 Platform Communication Tools
The parties may use Berry Marketplace communication, claim, evidence-upload, or dispute-management tools to exchange information and attempt to resolve disputes. Any recommendation, status note, workflow label, or facilitation step provided through the Platform is administrative and non-binding unless expressly agreed in writing by both parties in an Addendum or other written amendment signed by both parties. Berry Marketplace does not determine conformity, quality, breach, liability, damages, or the legal rights of either party under this Contract.
8.6 No Deemed Acceptance
Silence or failure to respond by a party does not constitute acceptance of any claim, advisory recommendation, cancellation, or amendment. Any amendment to this Contract takes effect only when signed by both parties in accordance with Section 14.2. A dispute that is not resolved by agreement may be referred to arbitration under Section 8.2 and may be recorded as closed without resolution.
8.7 Unresolved Disputes and External Referral
If a dispute is not resolved by agreement between the parties, either party may refer the dispute to arbitration in accordance with Section 8.2. The Platform may record the dispute as unresolved, expired, closed without resolution, or referred externally; any such record is administrative only and does not amend this Contract, determine breach, allocate liability, waive any right, or constitute acceptance by either party of the other party's position. The absence of a response, the rejection of an advisory recommendation, the expiry of a deadline, or the closure of a Platform dispute workflow does not prevent either party from pursuing its rights under this Contract, including by arbitration.
9. REMEDIES
9.1 Buyer Remedies
For Seller breach, the Buyer may: (a) Reject non-conforming Goods; (b) Claim damages for losses; (c) Require specific performance; (d) Terminate for material breach.

Either party may terminate this Contract if the other party commits a material breach and fails to remedy that breach within 14 days after receiving written notice requiring it to do so. Either party may terminate this Contract immediately by written notice if the other party becomes insolvent, enters bankruptcy, liquidation, administration, or receivership, or any analogous procedure, or ceases or threatens to cease carrying on business. Termination does not affect accrued rights, payment obligations, confidentiality obligations, dispute-resolution provisions, or any other provision intended to survive termination.

Each party's total liability under this Contract is limited to 100% of the Contract Value.

10.4 Per-Contract Application
The liability cap in this Section 10 applies separately to this Contract and does not aggregate with, reduce, or increase any liability cap applicable under any other contract between the same parties. For the avoidance of doubt, each Trading Contract formed through Berry Marketplace is a separate contract unless the parties expressly agree otherwise in writing.
11. FORCE MAJEURE
11.1 Definition
Force Majeure means an event or circumstance beyond a party's reasonable control that prevents or materially delays performance of that party's obligations under this Contract, including:
(a) natural disasters, extreme weather, fire, flood, or earthquake; (b) war, terrorism, civil unrest, riot, or armed conflict; (c) government action, embargo, import/export restriction, or regulatory prohibition; (d) epidemic, pandemic, quarantine restriction, or public-health emergency; (e) strike, lockout, or labour dispute not limited to the affected party's own workforce; (f) failure of utilities, telecommunications, transport infrastructure, or cold-chain infrastructure; (g) any other event beyond the affected party's reasonable control that could not reasonably have been prevented or mitigated.
11.2 Effect
A party affected by Force Majeure is excused from performance to the extent and for so long as performance is prevented or materially delayed by the Force Majeure event, provided that the affected party (a) notifies the other party promptly; (b) uses reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the Force Majeure event; and (c) resumes performance as soon as reasonably possible.
11.3 Extended Force Majeure
If Force Majeure continues for more than 30 days, either party may terminate this Contract without liability for the unperformed portion.
12. CANCELLATION
12.1 Mutual Cancellation
The parties may mutually agree to cancel this Contract at any time before Delivery by written agreement or by documented confirmation through the Platform. Upon mutual cancellation: (a) neither party shall have further obligations under this Contract, except for accrued obligations and obligations intended to survive cancellation; (b) any advance payment relating to undelivered Goods shall be returned within 14 days, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing; (c) the cancellation shall be recorded in the Contract record.
12.2 Unilateral Withdrawal
A party may withdraw from this Contract before Delivery without the other party's consent only where permitted by this Contract, justified by the other party's breach, or caused by Force Majeure. Any other unilateral withdrawal before Delivery constitutes a breach of this Contract. The non-withdrawing party may claim damages for losses caused by the withdrawal, including: (a) additional costs of procuring substitute goods, where the Buyer is the non-withdrawing party; (b) lost profit margin and reasonable resale costs, where the Seller is the non-withdrawing party; (c) wasted logistics, preparation, documentation, inspection, storage, or transport costs.
12.3 Cancellation After Partial Delivery
Where cancellation occurs after partial Delivery: (a) this Contract remains enforceable for quantities already delivered; (b) payment remains due for quantities already delivered and accepted, subject to any valid Claim under Section 7; (c) cancellation applies only to undelivered quantities unless the parties agree otherwise in writing; (d) any refund or adjustment shall apply only to the undelivered or non-conforming portion, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.
12.4 Platform Fees
Any platform fees, commissions, or service charges payable to Berry Marketplace are governed exclusively by each party's separate agreement with Berry Marketplace and do not form part of this Contract between Buyer and Seller. Cancellation, termination, amendment, or non-performance of this Contract does not by itself determine whether any platform fee or commission is payable, refundable, or cancelled.
13. CONFIDENTIALITY
13.1 Confidential Information
Each party shall keep confidential all non-public commercial, technical, financial, operational, and business information obtained from the other party in connection with this Contract, including pricing, volumes, quality specifications, customer or supplier information, logistics arrangements, commercial terms, and dispute information.
13.2 Exceptions
Confidentiality does not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available other than through breach of this Contract; (b) was lawfully known to the receiving party before disclosure; (c) is lawfully received from a third party without breach of confidentiality; (d) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of the confidential information; (e) must be disclosed by law, regulation, court order, arbitral tribunal, regulator, tax authority, customs authority, or other competent authority. Where disclosure is required under paragraph (e), the disclosing party shall, where legally permitted and reasonably practicable, notify the other party in advance and limit disclosure to what is legally required.
13.3 Duration
Confidentiality obligations survive termination, cancellation, expiry, or completion of this Contract for 3 years.
14. GENERAL PROVISIONS
14.1 Entire Agreement
This Contract, including any Addendum signed by both parties, constitutes the entire agreement between the Seller and the Buyer regarding the subject matter of this Contract. This Contract does not replace or amend either party's separate agreement with Berry Marketplace governing platform access, platform fees, verification, account status, or other platform services.
14.2 Amendments
Any amendment to this Contract must be agreed in writing and signed or electronically accepted by both parties. No oral amendment is binding.
14.3 Severability
If any provision of this Contract is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect. The parties shall replace the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision with a valid provision that most closely reflects the original commercial intent.
14.4 No Waiver
Failure or delay by either party to exercise any right or remedy under this Contract does not constitute a waiver of that right or remedy. A waiver is effective only if given in writing and applies only to the specific circumstances for which it is given.
14.5 Assignment
Neither party may assign, transfer, subcontract, or otherwise dispose of its rights or obligations under this Contract without the other party's prior written consent, except to a successor by merger, restructuring, or sale of substantially all relevant business assets.
14.6 Notices
Notices under this Contract shall be sent through the Platform messaging system or to the contact details specified in this Contract. A notice is deemed received when recorded as delivered through the Platform or, if sent by email, when sent to the registered email address unless the sender receives an automated delivery-failure notice.
14.7 Third Party Rights
Except as expressly provided in Section 15.3, no person other than the Seller and the Buyer has any right to enforce any term of this Contract.
14.8 Language
This Contract may be made available in multiple languages for convenience. The English version prevails in case of conflict, inconsistency, or ambiguity between the English version and any translation.
15. PLATFORM ACKNOWLEDGMENT
15.1 Platform Role
Berry Marketplace (Nuvagra S.R.L.) provides technology, verification, communication, contract-generation, and recordkeeping tools that facilitate the formation and administration of this Contract. Berry Marketplace is not a party to this Contract and is not a buyer, seller, broker, agent, carrier, payment provider, escrow provider, guarantor, insurer, quality-control authority, or arbitral decision-maker in relation to this Contract.
15.2 No Responsibility for Performance
Berry Marketplace is not responsible for: (a) the Seller's delivery, quality, quantity, certificates, documentation, or legal compliance; (b) the Buyer's payment, acceptance, inspection, unloading, or claim conduct; (c) transport, cold-chain performance, customs clearance, taxes, duties, or import/export compliance; (d) the truth, completeness, or accuracy of information provided by either party; (e) any loss arising from breach, non-performance, delay, fraud, insolvency, or misconduct by either party. All payment obligations for the Goods are strictly between the Buyer and the Seller. Berry Marketplace does not process, hold, verify, guarantee, intermediate, or convert payments between the parties.
15.3 Limited Right to Rely on Platform Protections
Although Berry Marketplace is not a party to this Contract, Berry Marketplace may rely on and, where necessary, enforce only those provisions of this Contract that expressly exclude Berry Marketplace from liability, joinder, payment responsibility, performance responsibility, or dispute responsibility. For the avoidance of doubt, this limited right does not give Berry Marketplace any right to enforce the Buyer's or Seller's commercial obligations regarding price, payment, delivery, quality, cancellation, damages, or performance.
15.4 Platform Terms Separate
Platform services, account access, verification, platform fees, commissions, invoicing, data processing, reputation measures, and platform policies are governed exclusively by each party's separate agreement with Berry Marketplace. Nothing in this Contract creates any obligation for Berry Marketplace to take part in, decide, fund, guarantee, or resolve any dispute between the Buyer and Seller.
16. GOVERNING LAW
