Terms and Conditions

By using our site, you indicate that you accept these terms of use and that you agree to abide by them. If you do not agree to these terms of use, please refrain from using our site.

 

DELIVERY ADDRESS

It is your responsibility to ensure this is correct. Any re-directions of delivery due to errors will be charged. 

If you gave an incorrect address, and we are notified within 72 hours we will assist in having goods retrieved but ultimately the responsibility lies with the purchaser to collect their order.

DELIVERY BY COURIER

IF YOU HAVE NOT GIVEN 'LEAVE SAFE' INSTRUCTIONS AND YOU ARE NOT IN WHEN DELIVERY IS ATTEMPTED THE ORDER WILL BE TAKEN TO THE NEAREST DROP SHOP FOR YOU TO COLLECT. If not collected within 5 days goods will be returned to us. Please see FAILED DELIVERIES below.

 

Using your PAYPAL account address

The agreement between you and PayPal and us and PayPal requires deliveries to be sent to the address you have registered in PayPal. This will overwrite any other address stored in your Lawnsmith account. Therefore, if you need deliveries to go to any address other than those used in PayPal you will need to pay by card. If a delivery needs to be redirected because the address stored in PayPal is incorrect you may have another delivery charge. If this causes goods to be delivered to an incorrect address, and we are notified within 72 hours we will assist in having them retrieved but ultimately the responsibility lies with the purchaser to collect their order.

 

LEAVE SAFE

Deliveries need to be signed for though our carrier is authorised to leave goods with a close neighbour if you are out. If you want to take responsibility for your delivery being left safely at your address or with a named close neighbour or prevent goods being left with a neighbour then you can pass these instructions to the carrier when you receive delivery emails or via their app. This does not apply to Royal Mail.

Warning: If you pass leave safe or delivery instructions to the carrier then you become responsible for the delivery and collection of your order from the time you advise our carrier to make such a delivery. Therefore please ensure your instructions are clear and specific e.g. In the green bin is specific, green bin isn't. If goods are to be left exposed to the weather you are responsible for any problems that may cause to your order.

 

DROP SHOPS and COLLECTION POINTS

We cannot accept responsibility for goods that are delivered to 'drop shops' or collection points. If you arrange for your order to be sent to one then you become responsible for the delivery and collection of your order from the time you advise our carrier to make such a delivery.

 

FAILED DELIVERIES

If a delivery fails due to an incorrect address or none collection from a drop shop or delivery point AND the goods are sent back to us by the carrier then you will be refunded your order value in full less the delivery return costs. This also applies when cancelling your order due to being notified of additional carriage charges owing to an incorrect address being given at the time of ordering. Standard courier return charge is £10.

 

DAMAGED OR INCORRECT GOODS

You must inspect and report by email any damage to goods or errors within 24 hours of delivery. We are not responsible if you apply goods that are incorrect or unsuitable for your lawn.

You must take pictures of the packaging, package label and damage to goods to aid your claim and keep all packaging until the claim is concluded. We are then only too happy to take appropriate steps to correct the problem quickly and at no charge.

 

PRICES

Prices include VAT.

The price you pay is the price displayed on this website at the time we receive your order, except in the instance where an error has occurred with the price or product information shown on the website, at which time you will be notified of the issue and the transaction will be cancelled. In the event that an error is discovered with the price of any goods you have ordered:

• We will inform you as soon as we can and complete a refund via the original tender type.
• If you cancel your order and have already paid for the goods we will give you a full refund.
• In the event that we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled.

 

CANCELLATIONS

You have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the goods. This includes drop shops. This must be in writing by email. If your cancellation is made after goods have been acquired please see Returns & Refunds below.

 

FAULTY ITEMS

Any new item that is faulty should be notified within 24 hours. Items in use that fail within the warranty period should be notified as soon as possible and within the warranty period.

We will then replace or refund whichever is most appropriate. If goods are needed to be returned you should undertake this and we will refund you our standard carriage charge on receipt. Please see Returns below for more details.

 

RETURNS and REFUNDS

On rare occasions you may want to return an item. We will do everything to assist in this matter but it is your responsibility for ensuring we are notified of this by email any time up to 14 calendar days after the day on which the goods were received. You then have a further 14 days in which to return the goods. A full refund will be made, including delivery charges if applicable, subject to the criteria below:-

• Equipment, tools, hardware and safety products should be unused, in original condition, with their packaging and documents. If not a reduced refund will be made. Used goods will normally only be refunded at 50% of purchase price.
• Perishables (seed, fertiliser, pesticides) must remain sealed in their original packaging. Opened packages can suffer moisture penetration and contamination (accidental or otherwise) and cannot therefore be returned.
• You must take every care to ensure returns are not damaged in transit. We recommend you insure goods against this possibility.
• You are responsible for the return delivery cost.

Return Address: Lawnsmith Ltd, Camp Road, Witham St. Hughs, Lincoln, LN6 9QJ

Refunds will be made promptly and normally within 3 days of receipt and inspection of the returned goods. If you have doubts that goods are suitable for returning please email us prior to returning them.
