We reserve the right to alter prices on our websites at any time for any reason. 

Ordering goods and services

When you place an order with us, you are making an offer to buy goods or services. In addition to the terms and conditions included in the Introduction above, the following terms and conditions of sale apply to all purchases by you through our website.  By completing an order you are stating that you agree to be bound by all of these terms and conditions.

An order is placed on our website via adding a product to the shopping cart and proceeding through our checkout process. The checkout process includes giving us delivery and any other relevant details for your order eg. an optional gift message for gift cards, entering payment information and submitting your order. The final step consists of a confirmation page with full details of your order, which you are able to print as a receipt of your order

We do not supply trade quantities and we reserve the right to limit the number of an item customers can purchase in a single transaction. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any orders that we believe, solely by our own judgement, to be placed for commercial purposes, e.g. by any kind of reseller. 

We will send you an e-mail to confirm that we have received and are processing your order, which indicates that your order has been accepted and you may not cancel it.

We will take payment from you when we accept your order. You may pay online by MasterCard, Visa, or Paypal.

Dispatch of orders is subject to stock availability and you will be advised if a product is unavailable.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable to any person if we decline to fulfill, or are unable to fulfill, an order.

We will charge you the retail price shown on the website at the time you submit your order. You may also be charged additional delivery fees.

 In the unlikely event that the goods or services ordered are no longer available we reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order.

We also reserve the right to refuse or cancel any orders that we believe, solely by our own judgement, to have been placed fraudulently.

While we endeavour to ensure that the price and description of our goods or services is accurate, if there is an error in the process of listing a product or service on our website or a technical error in the processing of your order we reserve the right to refuse or cancel the order.

Order Cancellation  

Once your order is confirmed we are unable to change or cancel any aspects of your order. Please carefully check your order details before completing payment of the order. In order to protect our customers and services, we reserve the right to cancel orders or request other methods of payment for orders received.

Stock Availability

Products displayed on our website are subject to availability in our physical and online stores.  We have made every effort to provide accurate stock availability information on our website, however, we do not guarantee that if a product is classified as being “in stock” that stock will be available to purchase at our physical stores or online.

Website and Credit Card Security

Babylon Store is committed to providing you with a safe and secure shopping experience online. All payments via our sites are processed using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol, whereby sensitive information is encrypted to protect your privacy.

You can help to protect your details from unauthorised access by logging out each time you finish using the site, particularly if you are doing so from a public or shared computer.

Delivery

Depending on the item, we will deliver some products almost anywhere in New Zealand. To ascertain if the products you have chosen are suitable for delivery please ask. If they are suitable then the anticipated delivery charges will be notified to you.  We are unable to send large items via courier but we can quote items for freight on application.

We do not deliver outside New Zealand, however, an overseas order may still be placed with a New Zealand delivery address. Delivery is made by courier. 

 Please ensure the delivery address and receiver’s name for your order is accurate and complete (including any business name if shipping to a work address) as we may be unable to change these details once the order has been placed.  We will not take responsibility for any orders that go missing due to incorrect delivery information provided by you.

 Delivery lead time for products may vary. We endeavour to ship all orders within 3-5 working days of us confirming receipt of the order, although this timeframe is an estimate only. If we are not able to supply the products or there is likely to be a significant delay in making delivery (e.g. because the product is out of stock or the delivery is to a rural/remote location*), we will notify you as soon as reasonably possible after we become aware of this, in which case you may cancel the order (or any part of it) and you will receive a refund (including the applicable delivery charges) in respect of those products which will not be delivered. We will not otherwise be liable to you for any damages, costs or expenses of any kind, suffered or incurred by you due to the order not being fulfilled or the products not being delivered within the anticipated delivery time.

 Please note that a signature is optional for receiving deliveries. If goods are lost or damaged in transit, please contact us within 7 working days of the dispatch date (as stated in the email we send confirming dispatch). We will use this delivery information to make a claim against our courier company. We will offer you the choice of a replacement or a full refund, once we have received confirmation from our courier company that delivery was not successful.

 Delivery to rural addresses or delivery of large/bulky items may take longer in some areas. Delivery will be deemed to have been made when the goods arrive at the delivery point agreed with you, or, if you are to arrange delivery, when the goods are available for collection by you.

Returns

Babylon Store stands by the quality of our products. If you are unhappy with a plant or product purchased, you are able to return your product to us under our standard terms. Please choose carefully as we will not issue refunds if you if you change your mind.

Bring in the plant or product to Babylon Store within 7 days from purchase with your receipt and we will exchange it for another product or provide a store credit to the same value.

We do not guarantee any living plants after 7 days from the date of purchase unless they are maintained by the Babylon Store maintenance team every 4 weeks.

If you are unable to make it to a store then please email us within 7 days at info@babylonstore.co.nz so that we can arrange to courier the product back to us.

 Where the product purchased is faulty and we are unable to repair or replace it we may offer a refund. Refunds will be processed instantly or within 5 working days when products are couriered back to us.

 Workshops and Demonstrations

On booking one of our workshops or demonstrations online, you will receive an automated confirmation. We will then email you within a week of your workshop/demonstration start date to confirm class details. If you need to cancel or transfer your booking then you can choose to cancel in full, or transfer to another date if you provide more than 24 hours notice. If you cancel within 24 hours then no refund, or transfer is possible.
