The receipt of the order is recorded and confirmed by our platform, with the sending of an e-mail to the address indicated by the buyer during registration.  Please keep the email until you receive the purchased product(s).

While products offered on-line via our Site will usually be priced based upon the merchandise prices indicated by sellers, it is possible that you may encounter difference in prices due to promotional events and updated pricing at different times.

There may be occasions where a product that is listed by sellers has been incorrectly listed (e.g., typographical error, human error, or system error).  In such case, the seller hereby reserves the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for any and all products incorrectly listed.  If the payment processing method of the buyer has already been charged, the seller may cancel the order and issue a refund or credit in the amount of the incorrect price. However, in most scenarios, the seller on Plantly would be responsible for the processing fees collected by the payment processor (stripe and/or others in the future) and  any servicing commission to pliantly.

Shipping Terms.

The products sold through our platform are offered by third party sellers, who will offer delivery and set charges for such services on a case-by-case basis.  We do not offer delivery services ourselves.

Some of our items may be available for in-store, at a home greenhouse, or shared greenhouse pickups for certain products.  In this case, buyers will be able to select same day pick-up or a future date and time to be indicated by each seller.

Upon placing an order, payment must be received and processed by Plantly prior to order processing and shipping.  There are no listing or registration fees, payment is collected from the buyer when he/she makes a purchase.

Once payment clears, the seller may proceed to shipping.  All items are subject to availability, and the seller must inform buyers if the selected products are out of stock, and in such case to propose substitute items or a full refund of the price paid.

Before placing a final order for purchased items, buyers will be able to review the amount and type of shipping and handling fees for their order.  All dates displayed are estimated, since sellers may use third party couriers to ship their products.  All buyers should take into account that Plantly will not be responsible for any delays, additional expenses, customs fees and any problems caused by a third-party providers’ logistics.

Shipping fees are determined by numerous factors, such as dimensions, delivery address, and type of shipping.  Please contact each seller and send him all required information, such as your address, country, and zip code for better results.

In the future, we may implement a calculator for shipping times and cost, through which buyers may decide before each completed order, as well as updates via parcel tracking technology integrated into the Site.  Notwithstanding, all shipping times are the responsibility of the sellers.

Depending on the buyer’s place of residence, the seller may collect taxes on orders placed.  All of our users should be reminded that tax obligations are not optional.

As a final notice for this section, our sellers may not be able to ship items to certain regions, and, therefore, they should reject orders with delivery addresses in such regions.

Refund Terms.

Once the buyer has successfully made a purchase, the seller is responsible to deliver the product.  All purchases have an automatic cool-off period of ten (10) days, counted from the date where the product was received by the buyer, as indicated by the courier service.  After such period, all purchases are automatically accepted and will remain final.  After the cooling off period, money from the purchase will be transferred to the seller’s account.

However, in the rare occurrence that if after ten (10) days the dispute is not resolved, Plantly may intervene as a last resort.  It is our goal is to resolve any disputes as quickly as possible while being fair to both parties. If you are concerned about the refund policy, please ask the seller before you make your purchase.  For more information, please take a look at our Mediation Section.

Our refund policy varies from seller to seller. We recommend our sellers put their return policy on their profile pages, setup through their vendor dashboard.  In general, we honor a full refund or a partial refund, based on all evidence we collect from each party.  In almost all cases, however, buyers and sellers will settle the dispute among themselves, as we are all here for the same reason — we love plants.

In the case of a refund, the buyer will receive the full price of each order back, less our service fees and any merchant fees.  In such case, the seller would not receive any amount at all.  Once the refund is approved, Plantly will transfer the refund within no less than fifteen (15) days from the date our systems approve the refund or when the merchant approves the refund, whichever occurs later.

Buyer should include a description of the items in question, including the reason Buyer is seeking a refund, Buyer’s name, address, account information, payment details, and product(s) along with images of the shipping package, the product, and any defects or shipping damages.  Buyer should keep in mind that Buyer will generally have to pay for the shipping and/or insurance on the shipment back to seller.

Mediation.

Any and all final disputes among our users who purchased third party products and the sellers shall be solved by the Buyer and Seller.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Plantly may decide to offers mediation services for egregious situations that include but will not be limited to: (i) customers who made a significant investment and are not satisfied with the product purchased, therefore alleging that the characteristics, nature and/or quality of a product are not what such customer may reasonably expect from the seller; and/or (ii) sellers who ascertain that they effectively sold a product with specific characteristics, nature, and qualities. It is important to note that situations out of the control of the seller due to shipping and or weather issues are not applicable. The mediation services must be solicited within the ten (10) days cool off period, counted from the date where the buyer received the product, as indicated by the courier service.  Hereinafter, each mediation instance shall be called a “Dispute.”

Plantly will not take part in a Dispute other than as a mediator and will use the means available via the Services in order to achieve an amicable resolution among the users.  If the parties to the Dispute cannot reach resolution between themselves (having used all reasonable attempts to do so), the Dispute may be escalated to Plantly, and we will offer a non-binding recommendation for the settlement of the Dispute. Fees may be incurred by either party for these services.

Payment Terms.

We use payment platforms provided by globally accepted third-party payment processors.  Accordingly, the processing of payments will be subject to the fees, terms, conditions, and privacy policies of such payment processors.  Plantly is not responsible for any and all errors, fees and currency conversions fees by such payment processors.

Such third-party payment transaction processors have enacted their own terms of use, user agreements, and privacy policies, which will govern their provision of services to you in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.  For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies, so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.

If you elect to use a direct payment gateway in order to complete your purchase, then the third-party payment processors will collect and store credit card data.  For ease of use, and much like most ecommerce sites, your credit card data will be stored with the payment processor, Stripe. We value your security, which is why periodically review our security practices and procedures. For more information, please refer to: https://stripe.com/docs/security/stripe

Millions of companies of all sizes—from startups to Fortune 500s—use Stripe’s software and APIs to accept payments, send payouts, and manage their businesses online.  Companies using stripe include, Instacart, shopify, lyft, zoom, slack, amazon, salesforce & Google, just to name a few.

Fees for Sellers.

Buyers and sellers can open and operate their accounts for free.  Once a sale is made from a seller’s store, our secure and globally trusted payment processor (Stripe) will deduct the service and ACH fees, and deposit funds directly into the Vendors Stripe account.

• Service and admin fees: based on a percentage of vendors sales and this percentage may change based on Vendors sales and/or previous agreements. Starting Jan 1, 2021, our standard platform commission fee is (6.5%) on sales made on Plantly, however, ZERO LISTING FEES.  As this service fee is fair and in-line, or in many cases, below market-rate from other non-specialized marketplaces, we continuously will revisit this based on the community’s feedback and adjust appropriately and accordingly.For additional context, below are the commission/service fees charged by other general, not plant-specific marketplaces:

• • *Sliding scale
  • The Initial Beta Vendors will receive reduced fees and for a period of 5mo or predetermined amount, whichever comes first. 
• Merchant ACH Processing fees: Plantly uses Stripe for payment processing, which charges (2.9% + $0.30) per transaction. It is important to note that these fees are standard across all the payment processors at: will be based according to the terms of each third-party payment provider. It is important to note that Plantly made a conscious decision to use Stripe instead of PayPal or Apple Pay. As the fees are all identical (as of Dec 2020), it came down to security, usability and speed of paying our Vendors which we recognize is very important. Unless grandfathered in as an early beta vendor, Fees for our sellers may also include, but are not limited to following:
• Other / Non-standard Marketing Services: upgraded services will be available and up-charges will be incurred if seller/vendor selects monthly or ad-hoc professional services and/or from any of the elevated marketing tactics (e.g., featured items, In App Notifications, targeted product placement and social media).

Disputes & Chargebacks.

Buyers must provide us with valid and current billing information.  Except as expressly set forth herein, all payment charges are final and non-cancelable.  If we detect any chargeback or if any payment is not received by us or our payment processors for any reason, you will promptly pay us any and all amounts due to us upon notice.  Any failure or inability by us to process any payment hereunder does not relieve you from your payment obligations.

A chargeback is typically caused when a Buyer disputes a charge that appears on Buyer’s bank or payment processing statement.  A charge-back may result in the reversal of a transaction, with the amount charged back to you.  You can be assessed chargebacks for: (i) customer disputes; (ii) unauthorized or improperly authorized transactions; (iii) transactions that do not comply with payment processor network rules or are allegedly unlawful or suspicious; or (iv) any reversals for any reason by our payment processor or the institutions handling the transaction.

When a chargeback is issued, you are immediately liable to Plantly for the full amount of payment of the chargeback, plus any associated fees, fines, expenses or penalties (including those assessed by our payment processor or the financial institutions handling the transaction).  Accordingly, you hereby represent and warrant that you expressly appoint Plantly as your agent, with full power to recover these amounts by debiting your account or setting off any amounts owed to you by us.

If we are unable to recover funds related to a charge-back for which you are liable, you will pay us the full amount of the chargeback immediately upon demand; thus, you agree to pay all costs and expenses, including without limitation, costs assessed by our payment processor, legal fees, and other legal expenses incurred by or on behalf of us in connection with the collection of any unpaid charge-backs unpaid by you.

These Terms provide you with specific legal rights, and you may have other rights that may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.  Legislation of some states/countries does not allow certain limitations of liability, and henceforth this limitation of liability shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law in the applicable jurisdiction.

The Terms may be amended only by mutual agreement expressed in writing and signed by both parties, and any attempted amendment in violation of this section shall be void.

Equitable remedies:  You hereby acknowledge and agree that if these Terms are not specifically enforced, Plantly will be irreparably damaged, and therefore you agree that Plantly shall be entitled, without bond, other security or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to your breach of any of these Terms, in addition to any other available remedies.

Applicable Law, Dispute Resolution.

For any claim, cause of action, or dispute you have against us that arises out of or relates to these Terms, you agree that it will be resolved exclusively in the competent courts with jurisdiction in the State of North Carolina.

Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.  All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms or the use of any product or service provided by Plantly that cannot be resolved informally shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of these Terms.  Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English.  This arbitration applies to you and Plantly, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under these Terms.

Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution.  Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (a “Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief.  A Notice to Plantly should be sent to our address as indicated in our contact section.  After the Notice is received, you and Plantly may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally.  If you and Plantly do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.  The amount of the award shall also be limited by the Limitation of Liability section of these Terms, to the extent applicable.

Arbitration Rules.  Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Rules, an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section.  If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider.  The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms.

The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator.  Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief.  For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the ADR Provider Rules.

Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of Plantly’s primary business premises, unless the parties agree otherwise.  If you reside outside of State of North Carolina, the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings, as detailed below.  Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.

Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration.  If non-appearance-based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, reputable video conference-based tools and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration.  The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

Time Limits.  If you or Plantly elect to pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the ADR Provider Rules for the pertinent claim.

Authority of Arbitrator.  If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Plantly, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the ADR Provider Rules, and the Terms.

The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Plantly.

Emergency Equitable Relief.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration.

Waiver of Class Actions, Non-Individualized Relief.  You acknowledge and accept that claims brought against Plantly shall be only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any possible future class or representative action or similar proceeding.  Unless otherwise agreed by you and Plantly, you may not adjoin or consolidate any claim with more than one person; and you may not otherwise supervise or take over any form of a class, representative or consolidated proceeding.

Forum.  For the application of this arbitration agreement, and of other matters appertaining these Terms, the parties hereto agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of North Carolina, United States of America.

If you bring a dispute in a manner other than in accordance with this section, you agree that we may move to have it dismissed, and that you will be responsible for our reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs, and disbursements in doing so.
