Farmer delivery notice

Version 0.1-draftBinding in English259d152ff4886852

Demo document. No lawyer has read this.

1. What this is

This is a notice about what is recorded when you deliver cherry, and a record
that it was explained to you. It is not a contract to sell your coffee and it
does not bind you to anything.

2. Nothing changes about how you are paid

Your washing station buys your cherry and your washing station pays you,
exactly as it does now.

The cooperative does not buy your cherry. It does not pay you. It does not set
your price, it does not take a share of it, and it has no say in what your
station pays. If your station pays you badly, that is a matter between you and
your station, and signing this changes neither.

3. You do not have to sign this

You can deliver cherry to your station whether or not you sign. Refusing
changes nothing about what you are paid or whether your cherry is accepted.

The only thing you lose by not signing is the text receipt in section 5.

4. What is recorded

Your name, your member number at the station, your phone number, your mobile
money number if you use one, your village, the number of trees you have, and
each delivery you make with its weight and date.

5. Your receipt

After each delivery you get a message with the weight recorded and what you are
owed for it. It is free to you. It is your proof, and it is the thing to hold up
if the figures are later disputed.

Depending on your country this arrives by SMS, USSD or WhatsApp.

6. Why the cooperative wants the delivery figures

The cooperative supplies equipment to your station, and the station pays for
that equipment out of a share of what it delivers. Real delivery records are
how that share is calculated honestly rather than estimated.

Your individual deliveries are used for your receipt and for the station's own
total. They are not used to decide anything about you personally.

7. Stopping the messages

Reply STOP at any time and the messages stop. Receipts for a delivery you
actually made keep coming, because that is your proof of payment and switching
it off would harm you.

8. What is not done with your information

Your phone number is not sold, not given to advertisers, and not passed to
anyone for marketing. Another station cannot see your records.

9. If you disagree with a weight or a payment

Say so, by phone, by USSD, or to any clerk. It is written down and answered.
You are entitled to see the station's own record of your deliveries, and a
disagreement is settled from that record rather than from memory.

10. Language

This was read to you in the language named on the signature page. If you did
not understand it, it has not been explained, and you should not sign until it
has been.

This one is signed in person, by a counterparty who has no account here — a farmer at a weighing station, a clerk being registered, a vendor on an email thread. An operator reads it to them and records it under their own name.
