4. Products and Services

a.  General

gardenUP offers online landscape design, plant shopping and plant delivery services to registered users who meet the eligibility requirements set forth in these Terms of Service and who establish an Account on the gardenUP Site (“gardenUP Services”). As a separate service, the gardenUP Site provides an online platform for registered users to obtain information about and order installation services from gardenUP’s third party installation partners (“Installation Partners”) who have been authorized by gardenUP to install your plant order in accordance with the your selected gardenUP landscape design (“Installation Services” and, together with the gardenUP Services, the “Services”).

b.  Inspection

Prior to delivery of your plant order, gardenUP will contact you by email or telephone to schedule a time for a gardenUP authorized representative to visit the planting site to confirm measurements, the site location and whether there are any conditions that might prevent or hinder the installation of your plant order in any respect. If the gardenUP authorized representative determines that the planting site conditions are not suitable to accommodate your selected gardenUP landscape design or will otherwise prevent the Installation Services to be completed within the initial cost estimate (provided at the time of your order) or at all, you will be given an opportunity to (1) cancel both your plant order and the Installation Services, (2) modify the landscape design to accommodate the planting site conditions or (3) cancel the Installation Services only.

c.  Delivery

After an on-site visit by a gardenUP authorized representative (and subject to Section 4(b)), gardenUP will schedule a time to deliver your plant order. Delivery will be made to the delivery address provided on your Account. You are responsible for ensuring that someone is present at the delivery address to accept delivery of your order at the specified time. Anyone at the delivery address who receives the delivery is conclusively presumed to be authorized to receive the order. If we cannot deliver your plant order or must make an additional delivery because no one is at the delivery address to receive the plant order at the specified time, gardenUP reserves the right to assess an additional fee ofone hundred and fifty dollars ($150.00). gardenUP’s liability for missing a scheduled delivery date and time is limited to delivery at a later agreed upon time at no additional charge.

f.   Depictions and Descriptions of Products and Services

i.   Descriptions

gardenUP strives to provide accurate descriptions of the plants, Services, and other products provided through the gardenUP Site and when communicating with customers through electronic, telephonic or other means. gardenUP does not warrant, however, that such descriptions are accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. If a plant, Service or other product offered is not as described on the gardenUP Site or by a gardenUP representative, your sole remedy is to contact Customer Service at [email protected].

ii.   Colors

gardenUP has made significant efforts to accurately display the image, appearance and colors of the plants and other products that appear in the pictures and images on the gardenUP Site. Because the actual plant or product image, appearance and colors you perceive on the gardenUP Site depend on your computer monitor, we cannot guarantee that your computer monitor’s display of any plant or product image, appearance or color will be accurate.

ii.   Pictures and Images

The pictures and images associated with each landscape design that are provided on the gardenUP Site are only good faith representations of your finished landscape. Further, each picture and image depicts plants at maturity and at a specific site that may not be identical or even similar to the conditions of your planting site. Because the dimensions, soil, grading, moisture, lighting and other conditions of your planting site may differ from those in the landscape design pictures and images on the gardenUP Site, you acknowledge and agree that while your completed gardenUP planting site will be “inspired” by such pictures and images, it may not be identical to such pictures and images.While certain of the pictures and images associated with some of the landscape designs may contain depictions of stone, edging, fencing, mulch, irrigation, decorative objects or other products, gardenUP only sells and provides for the design, delivery and installation of plants. gardenUP does not sell or install stone, edging, fencing, mulch, decorative objects or other products. If you are in need of such goods or services, please contact us [email protected], as we may be able to recommend a professional in your area who can provide such services and

products.

g.   Plant Substitutions

gardenUP reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to substitute substantially similar plants to those purchased by you in the event gardenUP is unable to procure sufficient quantities of the plant you initially selected to fulfill your order. In cases where gardenUP makes such substitutions, we will notify you in advance by email or telephone and will provide you with an opportunity to accept such substituted plants or cancel your order with respect to the substituted plants within two (2) business days of receipt of such notice. In the event you cancel any part of your order pursuant to this Section 4(g), and to the extent your credit or debit card (or other payment account approved by gardenUP) has already been charged for such order, gardenUP will issue a credit to your credit or debit card (or other payment account) in the amount of the applicable charge within thirty (30) business days.

h.   Undue Hardship

If, during the course of performing the Installation Services, gardenUP or an Installation Partner discovers planting site conditions, such as soil or rock conditions, landscape grading or obstructions affecting access to the planting site, that were not readily apparent from gardenUP’s initial on-site visit and that gardenUP or an Installation Partner determines in its sole discretion will prevent an Installation Partner from completing the installation within the initial cost estimate (provided at the time of your order) or at all, we will notify you of such conditions by email or telephone and will provide you with an opportunity to accept or reject the plants that have been installed. If you accept the plants that have been installed, you will be charged (1) only for the plants that were successfully installed and (2) the related costs associated with Installation Services. If you reject the plants that have been installed, we will have an Installation Partners remove them on your behalf with no charge to you. In the event that you reject any part of your order pursuant to this Section 4(h), and to the extent your credit or debit card (or other payment account approved by gardenUP) has already been charged for such removed plants, gardenUP will issue a credit to your credit or debit card (or other payment account) in the amount of the applicable charge within thirty(30) business days.

5. Order Acceptance, Restrictions and Limitations

We will notify you by email or telephone should such limits be applied. gardenUP also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to prohibit sales to dealers or resellers who intend to resell plants and other products purchased through the gardenUP Site.

b.   Incorrect Pricing Information

While gardenUP strives to provide accurate pricing information regarding the plants, Services, and other products offered through the gardenUP Site, gardenUP cannot insure against pricing errors. In the event a plant, Service, or other product is listed at an incorrect price due to typographical error, error in pricing information received from gardenUP’s plant growers or suppliers, or other error as determined by gardenUP in its sole discretion, gardenUP reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to not process, cancel or refuse any orders placed for a plant, Service, or other product listed at the incorrect price, whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit or debit card (or other payment account approved by gardenUP) has been charged. In the event this occurs, gardenUP will notify you by email or telephone and will either not charge you or, to the extent your credit or debit card (or other payment account) has already been charged, issue a credit to your credit or debit card (or other payment account) in the amount of the applicable charge within thirty (30) business days.

We warrant plants purchased through gardenUP (1) for thirty (30) days from the delivery or Installation Services completion date, as applicable; or (2) sixty (60) days from the Installation Services completion date in the event the plant is installed at a site with a pre-existing irrigation system that provides proper watering for the plant. gardenUP will replace plants once during the foregoing warranty periods should the plants die. If you receive garden maintenance services under an agreement procured through gardenUP, we warrant the plants for the term of the maintenance agreement, without limitation on replacement.

15. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Services, the gardenUP Site or any product or service ordered or purchased through the gardenUP Site will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms of Service and the Terms of Use as a court would. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to gardenUP at the address set forth below in Section 19 of this Agreement. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. In addition, you and gardenUP each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. You and gardenUP both agree that you or gardenUP may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

These Terms of Service shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to its conflict of law principles.
