1.1 About Green Cart

Green Cart is a digital agricultural marketplace designed to connect farmers with buyers, adopters or sponsors, and humanitarian groups.

Users are responsible for their own listings, products, requests, commitments, payments and interactions with other users.

4 Adopter / Sponsor Terms & Conditions

4.1 Who Is an Adopter?

An adopter or sponsor is a Green Cart user who chooses to support a crop, tree, animal or eligible agricultural activity made available for adoption by a farmer. Adoption is intended to create a connection between the adopter and the selected agricultural opportunity.

4.2 Adoption Listings

Farmers decide which crops, trees, animals or agricultural activities are available for adoption. Adopters can browse available opportunities and review the information provided before submitting an adoption request.

4.3 Adoption Information

An adoption listing may include crop, tree or animal type, farmer information, farm location, photos, description, adoption period, adoption contribution, expected benefits, updates available to the adopter, and specific adoption conditions. Adopters should review this information before submitting a request.

4.4 Adoption Request

An adopter may select an available opportunity and submit an adoption request. Submitting a request does not automatically confirm the adoption. The farmer may review the request and accept or decline it. The adoption becomes active only after acceptance through the applicable Green Cart process.

4.5 Adoption Contribution

Where an adoption requires a financial contribution, the applicable amount and payment terms will be displayed before the adopter completes the process. The adopter is responsible for ensuring that payment information is accurate.

4.6 What Adoption Means

Adoption gives the adopter the rights and benefits specifically stated in the adoption arrangement. Unless a separate written agreement provides otherwise, adoption does not give the adopter ownership of the farm, land, crop, tree, animal, farm equipment or other assets belonging to the farmer.

4.7 Adoption Benefits

The benefits provided to an adopter depend on the terms of the specific adoption opportunity. Benefits may include progress updates, photos, information about the adopted crop or animal, production updates, milestone updates, and other benefits specified by the farmer. Not every adoption opportunity will provide the same benefits.

4.8 Adoption Period

Each adoption opportunity may have a specified adoption period. The adoption will operate according to the terms provided when the adopter joins the arrangement. Where an adoption period expires, continuation or renewal may require a new agreement or renewal process.

4.9 Adoption Updates

Where updates are included, the farmer should provide reasonable and truthful information about the adopted agricultural activity. Green Cart does not guarantee a specific agricultural outcome, harvest, yield, animal production level or financial return from an adoption.

Agricultural activities may be affected by circumstances including weather, disease, pests, natural events, market conditions, animal health, farming conditions, and other circumstances outside the farmer's reasonable control.

4.10 Adoption Cancellation

An adopter may request cancellation where cancellation is permitted under the specific adoption terms. Cancellation may be subject to the stage of the adoption, payments already made and commitments already undertaken. Any applicable refund or cancellation conditions will be communicated during the adoption process.

4.11 No Guaranteed Financial Return

Unless expressly stated otherwise, adoption is not an investment product and does not guarantee a financial return. Any benefits associated with an adoption will be those specifically described in the relevant adoption arrangement.

4.12 Adopter Responsibilities

Adopters must provide accurate information, make agreed payments, review adoption terms before participating, respect farmers and farm operations, use the platform lawfully, avoid making unauthorized claims about ownership, and communicate respectfully with farmers.

4.14 Transfer of Adoption

An adopter may not transfer an adoption to another person unless the farmer and Green Cart, where applicable, approve the transfer.

4.15 Prohibited Adoption Activities

Adopters must not misrepresent themselves as owners of adopted assets, interfere with farm operations, make unauthorized demands on farmers, provide false information, attempt to manipulate adoption records, create fraudulent adoption requests, harass or threaten farmers, or use adoption for unlawful purposes.

4.16 Farmer's Right to Decline

A farmer has the right to decline an adoption request. Submitting an adoption request does not create an obligation for the farmer to accept it.

4.17 Changes to an Adoption Opportunity

Farmers may update or modify an adoption opportunity where necessary. Where a material change affects an existing adopter, the relevant parties should be informed where reasonably possible.

4.18 Termination of Adoption

An adoption may end when the adoption period expires, the agreed arrangement is completed, the adopter cancels where permitted, the farmer terminates the arrangement under the applicable terms, the agricultural activity is no longer available, the account is suspended or terminated, or circumstances make continuation impossible.

Where an adoption ends, any applicable refund or outstanding obligation will be handled according to the specific adoption terms and applicable law.

4.19 Adoption Disputes

Adopters should first communicate with the farmer regarding concerns about an adoption. If the matter cannot be resolved, the adopter may contact the Green Cart Support Centre. Green Cart may review the available information and assist with communication or dispute resolution where appropriate.

4.20 No Guarantee of Agricultural Outcome

Green Cart does not guarantee that an adopted crop will produce a particular yield, that an adopted tree will survive or that an adopted animal will remain healthy or productive. Agriculture involves natural and operational risks that may affect the outcome of an adoption.

Humanitarian groups are responsible for ensuring that donations reach the intended beneficiaries or are used for the stated humanitarian purpose. Where appropriate, Green Cart may request information confirming how donations were utilized.

5.10 Donation Delivery and Collection

Any applicable delivery costs or responsibilities should be agreed before fulfilment.

Unless otherwise agreed, a donation is intended to be provided without a sale price for the donated agricultural product. However, costs relating to transport, packaging, handling or other services may apply where agreed between the parties.

5.12 No Guaranteed Donation

Green Cart does not guarantee that a humanitarian group's request will receive a response or donation. The availability of donations depends on participating farmers and the circumstances of each request.

A humanitarian group may cancel a donation request where it has not yet been accepted or fulfilled. If a request has already been accepted, the group should communicate with the farmer before cancelling.

Verification may include requesting registration documents, identification, contact information, supporting documentation, information about beneficiaries, and details about the intended use of donations. Verification does not constitute an endorsement or guarantee of the organization.

5.19 Suspension or Termination

Green Cart may suspend or terminate a humanitarian group's account where there are reasonable grounds to believe that the group submitted fraudulent information, misused donations, misrepresented beneficiaries, violated these Terms, engaged in unlawful activity, or misused the platform.

5.20 Donation Disputes

The humanitarian group should first attempt to resolve any dispute directly with the farmer. Where the issue cannot be resolved, the group may contact the Green Cart Support Centre. Green Cart may review relevant information and facilitate communication where appropriate.

5.21 No Guarantee of Beneficiary Outcome

Green Cart provides the platform for connecting humanitarian groups with farmers. Green Cart does not guarantee the outcome, impact or effectiveness of a donation after it has been provided. The humanitarian group remains responsible for the proper use and distribution of donations.

6 Marketplace & Transactions

6.1 Green Cart Marketplace

The Green Cart Marketplace allows farmers to list agricultural products and buyers to discover and purchase those products. Green Cart provides the technology that facilitates the connection between farmers and buyers.

6.2 Product Listings

Farmers are responsible for creating accurate product listings. Each listing should provide relevant information such as product name, description, quantity, price, availability, location, photos, and relevant product information. Green Cart may remove or restrict listings that violate these Terms or applicable laws.

6.3 Product Availability

Product availability is controlled by the farmer. A product may become unavailable due to being sold, changes in production, seasonal availability, insufficient stock, or other circumstances affecting the farmer. Farmers should update listings when products are no longer available.

6.4 Orders

A buyer places an order by selecting a product and completing the applicable order process. An order is considered confirmed only when the required confirmation is provided by Green Cart or the farmer, depending on the applicable transaction process.

6.5 Order Acceptance

A farmer may be required to confirm an order before fulfilment. Green Cart may cancel or restrict an order where the product is unavailable, the listing contains an error, payment has not been confirmed, fraud is suspected, there is a technical problem, or fulfilment is not possible.

6.6 Pricing

Farmers are responsible for the prices displayed on their listings. Prices may change from time to time. The applicable price should be the price displayed at the time the buyer completes the purchase, subject to clearly stated terms.

6.7 Additional Charges

Depending on the transaction, additional charges may apply, including delivery fees, packaging fees, payment processing charges, platform service charges, and other applicable charges. Any applicable charges should be communicated before the transaction is completed.

6.8 Payment

Buyers must complete payment using the payment methods made available through Green Cart. A transaction may remain pending until payment is confirmed. Green Cart may use approved third-party payment providers.

6.9 Payment Processing

Payment processing may be subject to the terms of the relevant payment provider. Green Cart is not responsible for delays caused solely by a third-party payment provider, bank, mobile money service or other financial institution, subject to applicable law.

6.10 Delivery

Delivery arrangements may vary depending on the product, farmer and buyer location. Where delivery is available, the applicable delivery terms will be communicated during the transaction. The farmer, buyer or third-party delivery provider may be responsible for different parts of the delivery process depending on the agreed arrangement.

6.11 Collection

Where products are collected directly from a farm or another location, the buyer must follow the agreed collection arrangements. Buyers should not enter private farms or agricultural premises without authorization.

6.12 Inspection of Products

Buyers should inspect products upon delivery or collection where reasonably possible. Any significant issue should be reported promptly through the applicable Green Cart support or dispute process.

6.13 Product Disputes

Where a buyer believes that a product is materially different from the agreed order, the buyer should first contact the farmer. If the matter cannot be resolved, Green Cart Support may review the product listing, order information, payment records, delivery information, photographs, communication between the parties, and other relevant evidence.

6.14 Cancellations

Cancellation rights may depend on the status of the order. An order may be cancelled where the farmer has not yet fulfilled it, the buyer requests cancellation within the permitted period, the product is unavailable, payment has failed, or fraud is suspected.
