The Farmer may set a minimum product purchase limit (hereinafter “Pre-Sale Goal”), below which the project will not be organized. A corresponding note explaining the Pre-Sale Goal is made in the description of the project. The Purchaser is aware that the project may be cancelled due to the fact that the Farmer does not receive from the pre-sale the minimum amount needed to organise the project. Such a situation is not considered a breach of contract and the Purchaser cannot claim damages against the Farmer or the FortuneBerry.
