4 TITLE, RISK AND DELIVERY

4.1  Ownership of and title to all Products remains with us or the Vendor, as the case may be, and only passes to you upon payment in full for the Products being made to PGW.

4.2  All Products are at the Purchaser’s risk from the earlier of the Purchaser taking possession, the point of delivery to the address nominated by the Purchaser, or being made available for uplifting by the Purchaser at the Purchaser’s request, whether or not the Purchaser takes delivery of them at that time.

4.3  We will not be liable for any delay in delivery of any Products to you.

4.4  You must use all Products strictly in accordance with any directions, instructions and terms contained on Product labels, packaging and any other product information supplied with the Products.

5 TERMS SPECIFIC TO SEED, PLANT STOCK & SPRAYS

5.1  PGW understands all seeds, plants, bulbs and tubers have been taken from reliable stocks, but does not guarantee that they are described accurately or uncontaminated and accepts no liability in relation to any planting or crop.

5.2  As the composition, use and effect of sprays and hormone chemicals is outside PGW’s control, the Purchaser agrees that it will not rely on any representation by PGW, or make or support any claim against PGW, concerning any sprays or hormone chemicals supplied by PGW.

5.3  If any invoice/statement or any relevant document refers to Royalty Conditions for seed, that seed is a PROTECTED SEED VARIETY and may not be used for seed production or re-sold without the Plant Breeder’s written consent. If this is unacceptable, the seed may be returned unopened within 7 days for a full refund.

6 PGW WARRANTIES

6.1  Subject to clause 8, if due solely to PGW’s act, omission or negligence, any Product is defective or does not materially conform to our description, we will at our option repair or replace the Product or provide a refund of the purchase price for the Product. This warranty does not limit any rights you have against any third party supplier of Products, in accordance with clause 6.2.

6.2  To the extent permitted by any contract for supply entered into between PGW and a third party supplier of the relevant Products, PGW will pass through or assign to you the rights to, and benefit of, any supplier warranties, indemnities and associated remedies (whether contained in such contract of supply or any statute) provided by that third party supplier in relation to those Products. All other statutory and other implied Warranties to be given, made, performed or met by PGW, including those in Part 3 of the CCLA, are negated and excluded to the fullest extent that it is lawful for us to do so. Other than as required by law, we give no Warranty concerning any Product’s description, condition, unencumbrance, quality or fitness for any purpose. In particular, no Warranty is made concerning any sprays, chemicals or plant/seed matter. It is your responsibility to satisfy yourself as to the condition and quality and fitness for purpose of the Products and the Purchaser accepts the Products on this basis.

6.3  For the avoidance of doubt, no clause in these Terms excludes or limits any benefit of, any supplier warranties, indemnities and associated remedies (whether contained in such contract of supply or any statute) provided by a third party supplier in relation to those Products including under section 12 of the CCLA.

7 RETURNS

7.1   Subject to clauses 7.2 and 7.3, if you are not satisfied with the Products provided by us for any reason, you can return the Products to us at your cost within 30 days of your taking delivery of the Products following the Returns process on our Website. This clause 7.1 does not apply to Products that we sell as agent for any other party.

7.2   Products can only be returned to us if:

  1. they do not require refrigeration, and are not close to any expiry date (as reasonably determined by us);
  2. they are not custom-made, supplied under a quote, or procured for you (seed that you have ordered to be supplied in a blended, coated or treated form will be deemed to be custom-made unless we agree otherwise) and form part of our usual stock-in-trade;
  3. they were supplied to you in packaged and sealed form and not in bulk, and are returned in that original packaging and unopened, and include all accessories;
  4. we are reasonably satisfied that their condition has not deteriorated and you pay for their return; and
  5. you provide evidence of purchase from us, to our reasonable satisfaction.

All returns require our prior approval to ensure the above conditions are met. We will credit the Card or PGW Account or refund you depending on how you paid for the Products, less a restocking fee for freight and handling. You accept that there may be a delay in the processing of any refund or credit under this clause and PGW is not responsible for such delay.

7.3  Clause 7 sets out your sole rights to return Products due to your not being satisfied with those Products for any reason. However, if goods are defective, clause 6.1 or 6.2 applies. Products sold by PGW as agent for any other party may not be returned except as required by law.

8 PGW'S LIABILITY

8.1    Neither we nor our agents will be liable to you or to any other person, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), equity, or on any other basis under or in connection with these Terms (including any contract incorporating these Terms), your Web Account, or the Website or any advice, opinion, statement, representation or omission contained on our website, for any:

  1. indirect or consequential loss or special or exemplary damages; or
  2. loss of income, profits, savings or goodwill.

8.2    If we or you are liable for any claim or series of related claims under or in connection with these Terms (including any contract incorporating these Terms), that liability is limited to, in aggregate:

  1. twice the purchase price of the relevant Products giving rise to the claim(s), plus interest and costs (including debt collection costs); and
  2. where clause 9.3(a) applies, the amount of loss, liability, damage, or costs attributable to the third party claim.

8.3    No claim may be brought under or in connection with these Terms (including any contract incorporating these Terms) unless notice of that claim is given by the party bringing the claim within one year of that party becoming aware of the circumstances giving rise to the claim. This time limitation does not apply to prevent us recovering any debt or collection costs from you.

9 PURCHASER'S LIABILITY

9.1   If PGW cannot provide the agreed or requested quantity of Products for any reason outside its reasonable control, PGW will contact you and you may then choose to either:

  1. accept delivery of a lesser quantity of Products agreed by you; or
  2. cancel the transaction, and receive the corresponding refund or credit to the Card or PGW Account used for original payment.

9.2    PGW will not be liable to you for any delay in processing any refund or credit under clause 9.1, or for any loss whatsoever relating to PGW’s inability to supply the agreed or requested quantity of any Product. The remedies set out in clause 9.1 are your sole remedies in relation to any inability of PGW to supply the agreed or requested quantity of any Product.

9.3    Subject to the limitation of liability in clause 8.2, you indemnify us from and against any liabilities, losses, damages, claims, or costs (including reasonable legal costs and interest) which we suffer or incur as a result of:

  1. any third party claim arising through your use of any Product, except to the extent that:
    1. the Product is defective or does not materially conform to our description; and
    2. the liability, loss, damage, claim, or cost arises due to such defect or non-conformity, and not due to any misuse or incorrect use of the Product;
  2. your willful breach of any obligation in these Terms; or
  3. any negligent, unlawful, or fraudulent act or omission by you.
