Terms of service

Sure! Here’s a shortened and reworded version with "Progrow" replaced by "Hydrobase":

Contract Creation & Electronic Contracting
To create a contract with us, follow these steps:

  1. Place your order on the website by confirming at checkout.
  2. We’ll send you an order acknowledgement email; this isn’t confirmation yet.
  3. When your product ships, we’ll send a dispatch confirmation.
  4. The contract is completed when we dispatch the product, unless we notify you of non-acceptance.

Non-acceptance may occur due to:

  • Product unavailability
  • Payment issues
  • Pricing or description errors
  • Eligibility requirements not being met

Right to Cancel (Under Distance Selling Regulations):
You can cancel your order within 7 working days after receiving the products. If the order is dispatched, you’ll receive a refund if the product is returned unused and in original condition. Return procedures are detailed in our Returns Policy.

Exclusions to Return Policy:

  • Made-to-measure/personalized items
  • Perishable goods (e.g., food, flowers)
  • Opened or unsealed items like electronics, software, or nutrients

Product Descriptions:
We strive for accuracy in descriptions, images, and prices, but they may change before order confirmation. We can’t confirm the final price until the order is accepted.

Shipping & Handling:
We offer UK, European, and worldwide delivery. Select your correct shipping zone during checkout.

  • UK and European deliveries are calculated by weight or volumetric weight if higher.
  • International orders may require delivery to the billing address on the payment card.

Delivery Times:
Orders are usually dispatched within 1-5 working days, with 90% of orders shipping within 24-48 hours. We can arrange urgent deliveries, including early mornings and weekends.

Back Orders:
If an item is out of stock, we will backorder it and notify you. You can cancel if you don’t wish to wait.

Tax and Duties:
Orders from the UK are subject to VAT. Non-EU orders are not taxed, but customs duties may apply.

Credit Card Security:
We use secure payment processing via Stripe, which complies with industry standards like PCI-DSS and 3-D Secure for added protection.

Guarantees for Consumer Electronics:
We honor manufacturer warranties, usually one year, covering mechanical breakdowns under normal use. Accidental damage or misuse is not covered.

30-Day Money-Back Guarantee:
If unsatisfied, return items within 30 days for a full refund, provided they are unopened and in original condition. Opened items can only be returned if faulty.
