4. Our Products

4.1 Products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the Products on our websites are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the Products. The Product you receive may vary slightly from those images. Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, because our Products are natural, all sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our websites have a 2% tolerance.

4.2 Product Descriptions. Any specifications, formulations, data or statements as to any of our Products weight, ratios, species, suitability, performance or otherwise, issued and descriptions and samples given by us in connection with the Products are intended to be approximate only.

4.3 Product packaging may vary. The packaging of the Product may vary from that shown in images on our websites. 

4.4 Availability of Products. All Products shown on our websites are subject to availability. We do not supply Products to addresses outside of the UK. Please see paragraph 6.4 for excluded locations and postcodes.

4.5 Perishable Products. 

Please read the following important information regarding Perishable Products:

Deterioration. Perishable Products are highly perishable and are likely to deteriorate rapidly once harvested in fulfilment of your Order.

Delivery Date. If Perishable Products are not laid immediately on receipt in accordance with the instructions found on our websites or included in any emails we send to you before your Order is dispatched, the Perishable Products may deteriorate. We therefore recommend you order the Perishable Products to be delivered on the day you intend to lay them.

Appearance. Perishable Products are living products grown outside in varying soil conditions. As such, their appearance can be noticeably different in response to these conditions, weather and time of year. We cannot be held responsible for miss-matching if consignments are delivered separately, but please be assured that once the Perishable Products are properly established the grasses, flowers etc. will adapt to their new environment and take on a more uniform appearance.

5. Pricing of Products and payment

5.1 Delivery costs. Unless stated otherwise, the price of a Product does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as quoted on our websites and may be amended from time to time. The delivery charges will vary depending on the place of delivery and in some cases, the date and time slot chosen by you when placing an Order on our websites or over the telephone. For palletised Products (Perishable Products and bulk bags) we incorporate a standard delivery cost into the Product price.  Any additional delivery charge is where the delivery is to a more expensive delivery area or an extra paid delivery service is selected.

5.2 Where to find the price for the Product. The prices of the Products will be as quoted on our websites and may be amended from time to time. Price changes will not affect any Order which we have confirmed with a Dispatch Confirmation. If we discover an error in the price of the Products you ordered, please see paragraph 5.4 for what happens in this situation.

5.3 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. The price of a Product includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being.

5.4 What happens if we got the price wrong? It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your Order so that, where the Product’s correct price at your Order date is less than our stated price at your Order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the Product’s correct price at your Order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your Order. If we accept and process your Order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the Contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any Products provided to you.

5.5 How to pay. We currently accept various forms of payment for Products including via PayPal or credit/debit card. Please refer to our website footers for details of the payment cards and methods that we currently accept.  When placing an Order, you confirm that the form of payment that you use to make payment to us is yours and that you have authority to place the Order.

5.6 When to pay. Payment for the Products and all applicable delivery charges is taken at the time you place your Order.

5.7 We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of Barclays Bank Plc from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount. 

5.8 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

6. Delivery and Collection

For further information about delivery please visit the Delivery FAQs section of our websites.

6.1 When we will provide the Products. During the order process you may select when you want the Products delivered. Delivery charges will vary dependent on the timescale selected. We will deliver the Products to you on the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or as soon as reasonably possible in the event of delays being due to Events Outside Our Control (see paragraph 6.2). 

6.2 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. There are some circumstances outside of our reasonable control (Events Outside Our Control) that may affect delivery times. Therefore, we do not guarantee any delivery dates or times and they should be considered to be estimates dates or times. As such we do not recommend you organise any third-party suppliers/contractors (such as landscapers) around delivery dates. If we are unable to meet the estimated delivery date because of Events Outside Our Control, we will contact you with a revised estimated delivery date or time. We may cover the costs of re-delivery in such circumstances but will not be responsible for any third-party costs that you have to pay as a result of you arranging third-party suppliers/contractors around delivery dates.

6.3 If our supply of the Products is delayed by an Event Outside Our Control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the Event Outside Our Control, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the Contract (see paragraph 9.3) and receive a refund for any Products you have paid for but not received.

10.6 What we charge for collection. If you are responsible for the costs of return and we are collecting the Product from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection, which will vary by location and quantity.

10.7 Offering Replacement Products or Refunds. We may offer to replace any faulty or misdescribed Products or reimburse you for the full cost of the Products (less the value of any promotional code(s) used) including delivery costs (if the cost of all Products in your Order is being reimbursed) by the original method you used for payment within 14 days of us receiving either the faulty or misdescribed Products or proof of return, whichever is the sooner. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described in paragraph 10.8.

10.8 Deductions from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind: 

(a) We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the Products, if this has been caused by your handling the Products incorrectly;

or

(b) We may deduct a sum from your refund to reflect the reduced value of the Products if you have used the Products or they are not returned in their original condition; or 

10.9 When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible.  If you are exercising your right to change your mind then: 

(a) If we have not offered to collect the Products, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the Products back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Products back to us; or

(b) In all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind 

11. Our Right to Make Changes

11.1 Minor changes to Products. We may change Products: 

(a) to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and 

(b) to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements. These changes will not affect your use of the Products.

11.2 Changes to these Terms. We may make changes to these Terms at any time by sending you an email with the modified Terms or by posting a copy of them on our websites.  Any changes will take effect 7 days after the date of our email or the date on which we post the modified Terms on our websites, whichever is the earlier.  If you continue to use our websites after that period has expired, it means that you accept any such changes.

11.3 More significant changes to the Products and these Terms. In addition, as we inform you in the description of the Products on our websites, we may make changes to these Terms or more significant changes to the Products. If we do so we will notify you and you may then contact us to end the Contract before the changes take effect and receive a refund for any Products paid for but not received.

12. Our Right to Suspend of Supply of Products

12.1 Reasons we may suspend the supply of Products to you. We may have to suspend the supply of the Products to:

(a)  deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;

(b)  due to Events Outside Our Control such as weather meaning we are unable to harvest Perishable Products;

(c) update Products to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; or

(d) make changes to Products as requested by you or notified by us to you (see paragraph 11).

12.2 We may suspend supply of the Products if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the Products when you are supposed to (see paragraph 5.6) and you still do not make payment within the earlier of 5 days of us reminding you that payment is due or the day before delivery, we may suspend supply of the Products until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the Products. We will not suspend the supply of Products where you dispute an unpaid invoice (see paragraph 5.8). We will not charge you for Products during the period for which they are suspended. As well as suspending the Products we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see paragraph 5.7).  

12.3 What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply Products to you. If so, this will have been stated in the description of the Products on our websites. We will contact you in writing to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the Contract or paragraph  13.2 will apply and we will make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it. 

13. Our Right to end the Contract

13.1 We may end the Contract if you break it. We may end the Contract at any time by writing to you if:

(a) you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within the earlier of 5 days of us reminding you that payment is due or the day before delivery;

(b) you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the Products (see paragraph 12.3); or

(c) you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the Products to you or collect them from us. 

13.2 You must compensate us if you break the Contract. If we end the Contract in the situations set out in paragraph 13.1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for Products we have not provided (with the exception of Perishable Products or Products made to your Order) but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the Contract. As such we may resell part of, or all the Products and after deducting any reasonable storage and selling costs, account to you for any excess over the price of the Products or charge you for any shortfall below the price of the Products.

13.3 We may withdraw the Product. We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing the Product. We will let you know at least 7 days in advance of our stopping the supply of the Product and will refund any sums you have paid in advance for Products which will not be provided.

14. Our liability.

Your attention is particularly drawn to the following paragraphs.

14.1 References to liability in this paragraph 14 include every kind of liability arising under or in connection with the Contract including but not limited to liability in contract, tort (including negligence), misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise.

14.2 We only supply the Products for personal use by you, and you agree not to use the Products for any resale purposes or use by any business.

14.3 Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability for:

(a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence;

(b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;

(c) breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (title and quiet possession); or

(d) any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law.

14.4 Except as expressly stated in these Terms, we do not give any representations, warranties or undertakings in relation to the Products. Any representation, condition or warranty which might be implied or incorporated into these Terms by statute, common law or otherwise is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. In particular, we will not be responsible for ensuring that the Products are suitable for your purposes.

15. How we may use your personal information

15.1 How we may use your personal information.  We will only use your personal information as set out in our Privacy Policy.

16. Other important terms

16.4 If a court finds part of this Contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

16.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this Contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this Contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

16.6 Which laws apply to this Contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These Terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Products in the English courts. 

16.7 Alternative dispute resolution. Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you may want to contact the alternative dispute resolution provider we use. You can submit a complaint to Consumer Arbitration (a trading name of Consumer Dispute Resolution Limited via their website at https://www.cdrl.org.uk/consumer-arbitration/. Consumer Arbitration will not charge you for making a complaint and if you are not satisfied with the outcome you can still bring legal proceedings.

4. Our Products

4.1 Products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the Products on our websites are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the Products. The Product you receive may vary slightly from those images. Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, because our Products are natural, all sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our websites have a 2% tolerance.

4.2 Product Descriptions. Any specifications, formulations, data or statements as to any of our Products weight, ratios, species, suitability, performance or otherwise, issued and descriptions and samples given by us in connection with the Products are intended to be approximate only.

4.3 Product packaging may vary. The packaging of the Product may vary from that shown in images on our websites.

4.4 Availability of Products. All Products shown on our websites are subject to availability. WE DO NOT SUPPLY PRODUCTS TO ADDRESSES OUTSIDE OF THE UK. Please see paragraph 7.4 for excluded locations and postcodes.

4.5 Perishable Products.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING PERISHABLE PRODUCTS:

Deterioration. Perishable Products are highly perishable and are likely to deteriorate rapidly once harvested in fulfilment of your Order.

Delivery Date. If Perishable Products are not laid immediately on receipt in accordance with the instructions found on our websites or included in any emails we send to you before your Order is dispatched, the Perishable Products may deteriorate. We therefore recommend you order the Perishable Products to be delivered on the day you intend to lay them.

Appearance. Perishable Products are living products grown outside in varying soil conditions. As such, their appearance can be noticeably different in response to these conditions, weather and time of year. We cannot be held responsible for miss-matching if consignments are delivered separately, but please be assured that once the Perishable Products are properly established the grasses, flowers etc. will adapt to their new environment and take on a more uniform appearance.

5. Pricing of Products and payment

5.1 Delivery costs. Unless stated otherwise, the price of a Product does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as quoted on our websites and may be amended from time to time. The delivery charges will vary depending on the place of delivery and in some cases, the date and time slot chosen by you when placing an Order on our websites or over the telephone. For palletised Products (living Products and bulk bags) we incorporate the delivery cost to a core area into the Product price. Any additional delivery charge will be due to a surcharge we add on reflecting a more expensive delivery area or extra paid service.

5.2 Where to find the price for the Product? The prices of the Products will be as quoted on our websites and may be amended from time to time. Price changes will not affect any Order which we have confirmed with a Dispatch Confirmation. If we discover an error in the price of the Products you ordered, please see paragraph 5.4 for what happens in this event.

5.3 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. The price of a Product includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being.

5.4 What happens if we got the price wrong? It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your Order so that, where the Product’s correct price at your Order date is less than our stated price at your Order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the Product’s correct price at your Order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your Order. If we accept and process your Order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the Contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any Products provided to you.

5.5 How to pay. We currently accept various forms of payment for Products including via PayPal or credit/debit card. Please refer to our website footers for details of the payment cards and methods that we currently accept. When placing an Order, you confirm that the form of payment that you use to make payment to us is yours and that you have authority to place the Order.

5.6 When to pay. Payment for the Products and all applicable delivery charges is taken at the time you place your Order unless we have agreed otherwise with you.

5.7 We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of Barclays Bank Plc from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

5.8 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

6. Delivery and Collection
We are a member of the Road Haulage Association (RHA) and make deliveries subject to RHA Conditions of Carriage. For further information about delivery please visit the Delivery FAQs section of our websites.

6.1 When we will provide the Products. During the order process you may select when you want the Products delivered. Delivery charges will vary dependent on the timescale selected. We will deliver the Products to you on the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or as soon as reasonably possible in the event of delays being due to an Event Outside Our Control (see paragraph 17).

6.2 We are not responsible for delays due to an Event Outside Our Control. There are some circumstances outside of our reasonable control that may affect delivery times (for example extreme weather, road accidents, our third-party delivery providers’ vehicles breaking down or IT failures). Therefore, we do not guarantee any delivery dates or times and they should be considered to be estimates dates or times. As such we do not recommend you organise any third-party suppliers/contractors (such as landscapers) around delivery dates. If we are unable to meet the estimated delivery date because of such circumstances, we will contact you with a revised estimated delivery date or time. We will cover the costs of re-delivery in such circumstances but will not be responsible for any third-party costs that you have to pay as a result of you arranging third-party suppliers/contractors around delivery dates.

6.3 If our supply of the Products is delayed by an Event Outside Our Control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the Event Outside Our Control, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the Contract (see paragraph 10.7) and receive a refund for any Products you have paid for but not received.

6.4 Areas we cannot deliver to. Due to the fact that we cannot reach the postcodes listed below within 24 hours of harvest of Perishable Products, we are unable to offer a delivery service to the following areas and postcodes:

Please inform us of any issues (including those set out below) that may affect delivery to the address i.e. height, weight or width restrictions, off-loading or parking restrictions. You recognise and accept that kerbside deliveries may be made by “tail lift” vehicles with manual pump truck pallet devices and that in order for these systems to operate and for deliveries to be made the ground must be even and on a flat surface.

6.7 Delivery to a driveway. If you wish the Products to be delivered to a driveway then a solid flat surface such as tarmac or a paved drive is required and you accept and agree that the driveway or property is capable of withstanding the weight of the delivering vehicle and Products and we shall not accept any liability for any damage to property or driveways caused during delivery. Delivery to a driveway is, in any event, at the discretion of the delivery driver.

6.8 Unable to access property. Any delivery is based on the provision of clear access for the delivery of the Products. When delivery cannot be made due to access difficulties or offloading/parking restrictions you may incur an additional delivery charge. If we are unable to deliver Perishable Products because you fail to tell us about any delivery restrictions or provide incorrect address details, the Perishable Products may deteriorate. As such, you shall not be eligible for a refund of either the price of the Products or any delivery charges.

6.9 If there is no-one at the property when the Products are delivered. If no one is available at the delivery address to take delivery we will deliver the Products as close as possible to the delivery address provided to us.

6.10 Collection by you. If you have asked to collect the Products from one of the Collection Points, you will be allocated a collection date and the Products should be collected on the assigned collection date which will be within 2 days of being notice that the Products are ready for collection.

6.11 If you do not take delivery of or fail to collect the Products. If after a failed delivery to you or you do not collect the Products from us as arranged, we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection paragraph 6.12 will apply and/or we may end the Contract.

6.12 If we cannot contact you. If we cannot contact you to re-arrange delivery/collection within two working days after the day on which we notified you that the Products were ready for re-delivery/collection paragraph 14.2 may apply.

6.13 When will completion of delivery take place? We will deliver the Products to the address you give us. Delivery will be completed when (i) you or a person you have identified has taken physical possession of the Products; or (ii) if no one is available to take physical possession of the Products, when the Products have been unloaded at or as close as possible to the delivery address provided to us. We will not be responsible for any deterioration or theft of any Products left at your address. When you have asked to collect Products from a Collection Point, delivery is complete at the time the Products have been collected from the Collection Point. If for any reason you fail to take delivery of any of the Products within seven days of being notified that they ae ready for delivery or you are in breach of paragraph 6.5 completion of delivery will be deemed to have taken place at 9:00am on the next working day following the expiry of the seven day period and paragraph 6.14 will apply.

6.14 When will you become responsible for the Products? The Products will be your responsibility from the completion of delivery or, the day you collect the Products from a Collection Point (whichever is applicable).

6.15 When will you own the Products? You own the Products once we have received your payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges and delivery has been completed.

You can then place your Order (“your Order”) for Products by pressing the ‘Pay Now’ button at the end of the check-out process and submitting your payment details to us.
(b) Over the Telephone. Supply our agent with details of the Products you wish to purchase. Your Order will be placed when you instruct our agent to do so, at which point they will take your payment information.
If we have provided you with a written quotation for Products this will not constitute an offer to sell. A written quotation shall only be valid for a period of 7 Business Days from its date of issue and your Order will only be placed when you accept the written quotation and instruct us to place your Order.

7.2 Reviewing your Order. Before placing your Order, please review it to ensure that you have selected the correct Product:
(a) Online. The check-out process will give you the opportunity to review and, if necessary, to change your selection of Products and/or correct any errors in your Order information. Please take the time to read and check your Order at each page of the order process.
(b) Over the Telephone. Our agent will confirm the details you have provided them with and give you the opportunity to change your selection of Products and/or correct any errors in your Order information.

7.6 If we cannot accept your Order. If we are unable to accept your Order, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the Product. This might be because the Product is out of stock, unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, we have identified an error in the price or description of the Product or we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified. If you have already paid for the Product, we will refund you the full amount as soon as possible, via the same method in which your payment was made.

7.7 Your Order number. We will assign an Order number to your Order and tell you what it is when we accept your Order.

Products with manufacturer’s guarantees. Some of the Products we sell to you come with a manufacturer’s guarantee which we will endeavour to transfer the benefit of to you. For details of the applicable terms and conditions, please refer to the manufacturer’s guarantee provided with the Products.

9. Our warranty for Products

9.1 We provide a warranty that on delivery, the Products shall:
(a) subject to paragraph 4 (and in particular subject to Paragraph 4.5 in relation to Perishable Products) conform with their description;
(b) be of satisfactory quality (within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act 1979); and
(c) in conformity with any specification supplied by you to us or as agreed by us in writing.

9.2 Subject to paragraph 9.3, if you give us notice as required by paragraph 10.2 that the Products do not comply with the warranty set out in paragraph 9.1 we will, at our option, repair or replace the defective Products, or refund the price of the defective Products in full (or in part if all the Products are not defective) less any delivery charges if relevant. We may at our discretion require you to pay any delivery charges or costs associated with providing you with replacement Products.

9.3 We will not be liable for breach of the warranty set out in clause 9.1 if:
(a) We comply with paragraph 9.2;
(b) you make any further use of the Products after giving notice to us under clause 10.2;
(c) the defect arises as a result of you failing to follow any instructions from us (written or otherwise) as to the storage, installation, commissioning, use of such Products or (if no instructions were given) failed to comply with the Product trade practice (such as, but not limited to, failing to follow normal standards in the preparation of soil and the laying, management and maintenance of Perishable Products);
(d) you alter or repair the Products without our written consent;
(e) the defect arises from us following any specification provided by you;
(f) the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear or your misuse, wilful damage, negligence, abnormal storage or working conditions; or
(g) the Products differ from their description or specification as a result of changes made to ensure they comply with applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.

9.4 We will only be liable to you for the Products’ failure to comply with the warranty set out in paragraph 9.1 to the extent set out in this paragraph 9.

9.5 The terms implied by sections 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from the Contract.

9.6 These Terms also apply to any repaired or replacement Products supplied by us to you.

10. What to do if there is a problem with Products.

10.1 In the unlikely event that you receive defective or mis-described Products or a fault develops with Products you order from us, you have any questions or complaints about the Products(s) or are unhappy about any aspect of our service, please contact us. You can telephone our customer service team at 01832 777111 or write to us at [email protected] or Harrowden Turf Limited, Colpmans Farm, Islip, Kettering, Northamptonshire NN14 3LT.

10.2 Notification of Defects. You should carefully inspect Products immediately upon delivery. We will be discharged from all liability for a breach of warranty and you shall have no claim in respect of breach of warranty unless:
(a) You notify us of your rejection of, claim or complaint about the Products (and if the defect is as a result of damage in transit) to the carrier by telephone immediately upon discovery and in any event before 9:00am on the next working day following collection or delivery of the Products. All such notifications must also be promptly confirmed in writing;
(b) You afford us a reasonable opportunity after receiving notice under (a) to examine the products, provided that they shall have been properly stored during the period after their delivery and the identity of the Products cannot be contested;
(c) You provide at your own expense and in a timely manner, photographs and other information as we may request to assess the veracity of any claim, complaint or breach; or
(d) If requested by us, you return the Products to our business address at your own expense for inspection to take place there.
If you are able to prove that it was not possible for you to give us notice within the appropriate period of time but notice was given within a reasonable time we will waive the time limit in (a) above.

10.3 If we deliver Products late. You have legal rights if we deliver any Product late. If we miss the delivery deadline for any Product which is not due to an Event Beyond Our Control (see paragraphs 6.2 and 6.3) then you may treat the Contract as at an end straight away if any of the following apply:
(a) we have refused to deliver the Products; or
(b) delivery within the delivery deadline was essential, accounting for all of the relevant circumstances); and
(c) you told us before we accepted your Order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.

10.4 Late delivery of Perishable Products. Notwithstanding the fact that Perishable Products may have been delivered late, they may still be is a satisfactory condition if laid immediately upon delivery. Please see paragraph 10.6 for further information if you decide to return Perishable Products because of late delivery.

10.5 Setting a new deadline for delivery. If you do not wish to treat the Contract as at an end straight away, or do not have the right to do so under paragraph 10.6, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can treat the Contract as at an end if we do not meet the new deadline.

10.6 Ending the Contract for late delivery. If you do choose to treat the Contract as at an end for late delivery under paragraph 10.3, you can cancel your Order for any Products that have been delivered (with the exception of Perishable Products and Products made to Order). If you wish, you can reject or cancel the Order for some of the Products (not all of them), unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. After that we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Products and delivery.

10.7 Your rights if we suspend the supply of Products. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of Products, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. You may contact us to end the Contract for a Product if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 7 days and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for Products in respect of the period after you end the Contract.

11. Your Right to Make Changes
If you wish to make a change to the Products you have ordered please contact us by telephone or email. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the Products, the timing of supply or anything else which would be relevant as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the Contract (see paragraph 12)

12. Your Right to End the Contract

12.1 You may cancel the Contract and receive a refund, if you notify us as set out in clause 12.3 of your decision to cancel the Contract.

12.2 However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of:
(a) Perishable Products; or
(b) Products made to order.

12.3 To cancel the Contract, you can also email us at [email protected] or contact our Customer Services team by telephone on 01832 777111 or by post to Harrowden Turf Limited, Colpmans Farm, Islip, Kettering, Northamptonshire NN14 3LT. If you are emailing us or writing to us please include details of your Order number to help us to identify it. If you send us your cancellation notice by email or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the email or post the letter to us. For example, you will have given us notice in time as long as you get your letter into the last post on the last day of the cancellation period or email us before midnight on that day.

12.4 If you have returned the Products to us under this clause 12 because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the Products on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay in accordance with paragraph 9.2.

12.5 If Products have been delivered to you before you decide to cancel the Contract then you must return them to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the Contract.

If we have agreed to collect the Products from you, we will collect the Products from the address to which they were delivered. We will contact you to arrange a suitable time for collection.

13. Our Rights to Make Changes

13.1 Minor changes to Products. We may change Products:
(a) to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and
(b) to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements. These changes will not affect your use of the Products.

13.2 Changes to these Terms. We may make changes to these Terms at any time by sending you an email with the modified Terms or by posting a copy of them on our websites. Any changes will take effect 7 days after the date of our email or the date on which we post the modified Terms on our websites, whichever is the earlier. If you continue to use our website(s) after that period has expired, it means that you accept any such changes.

13.3 More significant changes to the Products and these Terms. In addition, as we informed you in the description of the Products on our websites, we may make changes to these Terms or more significant changes to the Products. If we do so we will notify you and you may then contact us to end the Contract before the changes take effect and receive a refund for any Products paid for but not received.

14. Our Rights to Suspend Supply of Products

14.1 Reasons we may suspend the supply of Products to you. We may have to suspend the supply of the Products to:
(a) deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
(b) due to Events Outside of our Control, such as weather meaning we are unable to harvest Perishable Products;
(c) update Products to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; or
(d) make changes to Products as requested by you or notified by us to you (see paragraph 13).

14.2 Your rights if we suspend the supply of Products. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of Products, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. You may contact us to end the Contract for a Product if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 2 weeks and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for Products in respect of the period after you end the Contract.

14.3 What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the products to you. If so, this will have been stated in the description of the Products on our websites. We will contact you in writing to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the Contract or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the Products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

15. Termination

15.1 Without limiting any of our other rights, we may suspend the supply or delivery of the Products to you, or terminate the Contract with immediate effect by giving written notice to you if:
(a) you commit a material breach of any term of the Contract and (if such a breach is remediable) fail to remedy that breach within 14 days of you being notified in writing to do so;
(b) you fail to pay any amount due under the Contract on the due date for payment;
(c) you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the Products (see paragraph 14.3); or
(d) you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the Products to you or collect them from us.
(e) you suspend, threaten to suspend, cease or threaten to cease to carry on all or a substantial part of your business; or
(f) your financial position deteriorates to such an extent that in our reasonable opinion your capability to adequately fulfil your obligations under the Contract has been placed in jeopardy.

15.2 You may be required to compensate us if you break the Contract. If we end the Contract in the situations set out in paragraph 15.1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for Products we have not provided (with the exception of Perishable Products or Products made to your Order) but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the Contract. As such we may resell part of, or all the Products and after deducting any reasonable storage and selling costs, account to you for any excess over the price of the Products or charge you for any shortfall below the price of the Products.

15.3 We may withdraw the Product. We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing the Product.

If we do waive any rights or remedies, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any right or remedy related to any later default by you.
