Terms of service
Terms & Conditions
Orders:
When you order products and services from us, this as an offer from you to purchase such products and services. We may refuse to accept such orders for any number of reasons – such as unavailability of products or services, product or pricing errors, or our stock not meeting our quality control standards.
If the tree(s) on your order are growing on, we will give you an estimated date, when your order will be ready. However, this is purely an estimate and is not a confirmed date. The weather, natural vigour of the variety etc, are all factors out of our control and therefore, sometimes your order may take longer than expected to be ready to release from the nursery. We will release your order from the nursery when the trees have passed their final inspection.
Bespoke Grafted Orders:
We are proud of our high success rate with our grafting service. However, sadly a tree will simply fail to meet our high standards and will be deemed as a failure as it is too weak and likely to die once planted. In this instance, we will re-graft your tree on a second occasion.
Guarantee:
If you are not happy with your trees when you inspect them after delivery, call or email us immediately. We will replace a tree within 12 months if it fails due to canker becoming evident within the tree or rootstock. We regret we cannot replace a failed tree that has died due to pest infestation, environmental disease, lack of watering/over watering, planted incorrectly, issues associated with pruning.
We would ask you to send at least 2 clear, in-focus photographs (preferably digital) as soon as you think there is a problem. One from a distance to show the planting area, and one close up. We may also ask for a sample plant for analysis.
You meet the cost of carriage for the replacements
The planting of any of our Goods is an expression of your satisfaction with the delivery of our plants. You must then recognise that they are perishable and that we have no control over the conditions in which you keep them, the ground in which they are planted, the manner in, which they are planted or the way in which you tend your trees afterwards. Their health is your sole responsibility.
Please note that a like for like replacement will be offered, (subject to availability) we regret that we do not offer a monetary refund.
This guarantee, which is not transferable, in no way affects your legal rights.
We have the right to inspect the plants in situ and our guarantee is void if they have been removed without our receiving 7 days notice in writing.
