Exclusion of warranty and limitation of remedy

Seed potatoes certified in accordance with this chapter have been field and grade inspected as specified in this chapter. The state seed department and the inspection service function and serve only in an official regulatory manner and do not relieve the grower or owner of the grower's or owner's responsibility. Neither the producer, the seller, the North Dakota seed commission, the seed commissioner, or the commissioner's employees make any warranty or representation of any kind, express or implied, as to the quantity or quality of the crop produced from certified seed, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or absence of disease, or varietal or selection identity. The only representation is that the seed potatoes were produced, graded, packed, and inspected under the seed certification rules and regulations of the North Dakota state seed department.
