Terms & Conditions

If the desired article were for some reason unavailable after having placed your order, you will be duly informed via e-mail of the total or partial cancellation of the latter. Partial cancellation due to lack of availability doesn’t confer the right to cancel the totality of the order. If you wish to return a product received before or at the same time as a partial cancellation you should follow the stipulations listed in the Returns section.

Payment

Payment for online purchases from the website must be made by credit card, debit card or PayPal credit. To the prices as featured on the website we should add the corresponding delivery costs. This information will be provided in detail before the purchases are completed and customers agree on the terms.

The Plant magazine will send each receipt of purchase to the e-mail address provided on the order form. The legal invoice will only be sent if expressly requested.

Security

The Plant magazine uses the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol to ensure secure payments, establishing a 128-bit encrypted link or private communication channel between client and server. This guarantees that customer data is communicated to The Plant magazine and that the data transferred between customer and The Plant magazine are encrypted to avoid access by third parties. The Plant magazine cannot access confidential data regarding customers’ methods of payment.

Formalisation of Orders

Once the General Conditions have been accepted by the customer and the order placed, all the details concerning the purchase will be confirmed via e-mail by The Plant magazine.

Once the order has been sent, no cancellation will be accepted. In these cases, orders can only be returned following the procedure detailed in the Returns section.

Delivery Periods, Delivery Addresses and Losses

Delivery of Products

The Plant magazine has the obligation to deliver products in perfect condition at the address indicated on the order form. The Plant magazine will not be held responsible for any errors by omission or mistakes in the delivery information provided by customers on the order form.

Delivery Period

The delivery period specified on the confirmation of the order is only approximate. You will receive your order at the postal address provided through the website, in the estimated time based on the type of shipment you request at the time of purchase, but never later than thirty (30) calendar days from the acceptance of your order through the website.

Deliveries will be considered to have been made as soon as orders are handed over to customers by the transport company and registered by their control system. In case of a delivery failing due to the customer’s absence and an order being returned to The Plant magazine, the customer must pay the costs of a subsequent delivery, which will be billed separately.

In the event of a delay in delivery attributable to The Plant magazine, the customer shall be entitled to cancel the order following the procedure described in the Returns section.

In the event of an order being lost, the transport company will inform of the incident, which could take between 4 and 7 days to be settled.

Speed of Delivery

Customers should check the state of their orders and deliveries with the transport company, and note any incident on the dispatch note. If any defect, blow or breakage should be observed, customers should inform The Plant magazine writing to shop@theplantmagazine.com within 7 working days since the reception of the order.

Procedure for Returning a Product

Orders may be returned without specifying a reason and refunded within a maximum period of fifteen natural days after the date of reception. In these cases, the item in question must be in its original state, remain unused and preserve its original packaging and labelling. It must also be accompanied by the return form and a copy of the invoice (inside the package) indicating the returned item.

Customers must also send an e-mail to shop@theplantmagazine.com informing of the return. If the return is due to a defect in the product or a mistake in the shipping, and therefore attributable to The Plant magazine, customers may choose to receive a new product or a refund of the cost of the purchase, and the costs of delivery and of return, if applicable. Partial cancellations of orders will receive partial refunds.

In cases of returns without specified reasons, delivery and return costs will be charged to the customer. Once the returned item has been received, The Plant magazine will check the state of the product and proceed to grant the refund if applicable.

The Plant magazine will not be held responsible for the costs of the returns that do not respect the previous procedure. Customised products cannot be changed.

Refunds will be made by the same payment method as the customer used for the purchase (bank transfer or credit card/debit card/PayPal credit) within the 48 hours following reception of the returned order.
