Contract Agreement | Pricing Tables | DBH Dosage | Monitoring | Buyer Linkage

This Schedule forms an integral part of the Contract Inoculation Agreement (CIA) between Crown MycoResin Biotech Inc. (“Service Provider”) and the Client.

1. PURPOSE OF MONITORING & HARVEST ADVISORY

The Monitoring & Harvest Advisory service is intended to:

  • Observe post-inoculation tree response
  • Track resin development indicators
  • Provide professional, non-guaranteed guidance on harvest timing

This service does not constitute a guarantee of resin yield, grade, aroma, or market value.

2. SCOPE OF MONITORING SERVICES

2.1 Scheduled Monitoring Visits

Monitoring visits may include:

  • Visual inspection of inoculation sites
  • Tree vitality assessment
  • External resin indicators (discoloration, aroma presence, wound response)

Typical schedule:

  • 30–45 days post-inoculation (initial response check)
  • 90–120 days post-inoculation (progress evaluation)

Number of visits is defined in the main Agreement or quotation.

2.2 Optional Diagnostic Sampling (If Agreed)

  • Limited core or shavings sampling
  • Non-destructive or minimally invasive
  • Subject to tree condition and client approval

Sampling is advisory only and does not represent full-tree resin content.

3. RESIN DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT

Assessment may include:

  • Resin spread estimation
  • Density and color indicators
  • Aroma presence (non-chemical evaluation)

All assessments are indicative, not definitive, due to biological variability.

4. HARVEST ADVISORY

4.1 Harvest Timing Guidance

Harvest advisory may cover:

  • Suggested harvest window (months/years post-final inoculation)
  • Risk assessment of early vs delayed harvest
  • Suitability for chips, oil extraction, or mixed use

Typical indicative windows:

  • 6–12 months – Early commercial grade
  • 12–24 months – Higher-grade resin development
  • 24+ months – Premium resin potential (site & genetics dependent)

4.2 Harvest Method Advisory

Guidance may include:

  • Partial vs full harvest considerations
  • Cutting and handling practices
  • Post-harvest storage advice

Actual harvesting remains the Client’s responsibility unless separately contracted.

5. REPORTING & DOCUMENTATION

Monitoring deliverables may include:

  • Site visit notes
  • Photo documentation (where permitted)
  • Advisory summary reports

Reports are provided in non-laboratory, field-based format unless otherwise agreed.

6. EXCLUSIONS

Monitoring & Harvest Advisory does not include:

  • Chemical or GC-MS analysis
  • Market pricing guarantees

  • Harvest labor or equipment

These services require separate agreements.

7. FEES (IF APPLICABLE)

Monitoring & Harvest Advisory fees may be:

  • Included in premium service packages
  • Charged per visit or per hectare
  • Priced separately in quotation or Schedule B addendum

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

  1. All advice is provided in good faith based on professional experience and observed indicators.
  2. Final harvest decisions and outcomes remain the Client’s sole responsibility.
  3. The Service Provider shall not be liable for losses arising from:
    • Delayed or early harvest decisions
    • Market price changes
    • Environmental or biological factors

9. AUTHORITY & ADJUSTMENTS

The Service Provider may:

  • Adjust monitoring frequency based on field conditions
  • Recommend additional inoculation or defer harvest

All recommendations are non-binding unless incorporated into a new contract.
