The Offer is open to Growers who register their interest on https://www.123formbuilder.com/form-5199916/syngenta-germination-test by completing all the requested information by 30 April 2020. We reserve the right not to accept any registrations received after this date or which are not completed in full. In registering for the Offer, you will be deemed to have agreed to these terms and conditions.
If your registration has been successful, we will confirm this via email and, in due course, post sample bags (with a unique reference number) and pre-paid envelopes to send your samples direct to a Testing Station of our choice. To help ensure that the results of the Germination Tests are accurate and will be representative of your seed lots, you should carefully follow the instructions on how to sample your bags of seed.
All samples will be tested on an anonymous basis by the Testing Station which will be given only the unique reference number on the sample bags.
The deadline for your samples to arrive at the Testing Station is 1 July 2020. Samples received after that date will not be tested and will be safely destroyed as they cannot be returned to you. We accept no liability for samples lost or damaged in the post.
We will email you the results of your Germination Tests with a link to the Seed Calculator and further crop information from time to time during the 2020 season. If you have any concerns about the results of the Germination Tests, we recommend that you re-sample and submit to a testing laboratory of your choice (at your own cost).

The yield you obtain from your seed will depend upon many factors outside our control, including storage conditions, viability, drilling rate, soil type, weather and agronomic inputs.
