TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Plant Purchases
1. Payment
Full payment must be received, or proof of payment sent, before we will send out your plants. Payment is by Internet Banking. Customers with accounts must pay by the 20th of the month following invoice to prevent interest and other costs being charged. Interest may be charged up to 5% per month on overdue balance.
Pursuant to the Fair Trading Act 1986, we reserve the right to pass on all costs, disbursements or charges in the collection of overdue amounts.
2. Delivery
Plants will be freighted on the Monday or Tuesday following receipt of payment of invoice, unless other arrangements have been negotiated to send at a different time.
On delivery please inspect the goods carefully to check plants are all present and correct. If you think some plants are missing, or you are not happy with your plants for some other reason please contact us by phone or email within 24 hours of receipt of the plants to advise us why. Please send photographs of the plants to help us deal with the issue.
Important – please note: We are unable to accept liability for plants damaged in transit. We pack and label our plants very carefully and do a ‘shake test’ before they leave us to ensure there is no movement in the box. However we cannot vouch for how a particular courier driver handles the boxes. Mishaps are rare, luckily, but do occur on occasion. We ask for your understanding that we are not able to make claims from the courier as the plants are classed as perishable.We do want our customers to be happy, so if your plants should arrive in a condition where they are damaged beyond repair we will do our best to come to a mutually satisfactory arrangement, but we cannot make any guarantees. Please ensure you send photographs of the plants to help us deal with the issue.
We anticipate that all deliveries will arrive as specified, however Kahikatea Farm cannot accept any liability for any delayed or lost deliveries.
