HARVEST SERVICE
Ordering through the Site. Estimated delivery date and applicable delivery charges will be shown as you proceed through the ordering process. You can place your order any time based on availability in our catalog. You can cancel or modify an existing order ONLY BY PHONE up until we process the order (at this time an email will be sent to you). You may change your order (including the addition or deletion of items, a change in the time or delivery date, and the cancellation of your order) prior to the order being processed by contacting our Customer Service Department at 877-777-5767 during business hours, Eastern time. However, modified orders are subject to price changes, and a change of a delivery date may affect the availability of your desired items.

Once we accept the order, we send a confirmation e mail back to the client. Comments will be added if we know of a problem or an items missing.

*All shipping and deliveries are carried out by Harvest through independent contractors. Under no circumstances will Harvest bear any liability to any act or omission by any such independent contractor. Without derogating from the generality of the above, Harvest will not be liable for all damages, defects and quality discrepancies resulting from any act or omission which took place after the product left the Harvest premises. All enquiries and claims which relate to shipping and delivery must be referred directly to the relevant contractor.
Price and Availability. Given the perishable nature of our products, as well as other miscellaneous factors, from time to time products may be unavailable. We reserve the right to limit your order or the quantity of a particular product that you may order. If we are unable to fulfill your entire order we will make a reasonable effort to contact you prior to delivery. Once you complete checkout, your price is guaranteed unless you placed an order for an item where we have inadvertently listed the incorrect price. In those circumstances, we reserve the right to cancel undelivered orders for such incorrectly priced products; we will contact you in such circumstances, and, of course, your credit card will not be charged.
It is expressly stated that Harvest links between clients and suppliers, and offers a service which is in its nature sensitive and vulnerable, and can be affected by many factors, such as: weather conditions which affect the flowers growth, disease, non-homogeneous nature of flowers and quality changes from day to day, cancelled flights, transit hazards, inspections, and more.
All prices are FOB harvest warehouse in NY, NY (NOT INCLUDING ANY SHIPPING AND DELIVERY COSTS).
All prices are special individual prices that only relate to a specific order, by a specific client, and are based on the specific delivery location in the order.
Care of Products. To maintain the integrity of products after delivery, we recommend that you immediately unpack the flowers into a cool room (35 degrees Fahrenheit), re cut right away each stem and rap again the bunch in clean dry paper, then place the flowers in look warm water with cut flowers food for at list 12 hours. This is in order for them to strengthen up.
Delivery of Products. To receive delivery, the delivery address must be a residential apartment or home or a legal place of business and you or your doorman or your authorized representative must be present to receive your order from a courier during business hours. Your authorized representative can accept your goods when you are not present at the time you had selected for delivery and shall accept the goods under all of the same terms and conditions that would apply had you accepted the delivery yourself. Anyone at the delivery address who receives the delivery is conclusively presumed to be authorized to receive the delivery. If neither you, your doorman, nor your authorized representative is present during your selected delivery window, we will not be responsible anymore for delivery and/or loss of products. In case we choose to re-deliver the products, you agree to pay all the extra costs incurred, according to our price list.
In an effort to meet the committed delivery time for all of our customers, our delivery personnel cannot wait for an inspection of the items delivered. Your order will arrive with an invoice that will list all of the items you have received and were billed for. If something is missing from your order, please immediately call our Customer Service department at 877-777-5767.
In the case of force majeure and/or inclement weather, it may be necessary to make adjustments to our delivery schedule, which will cause us to suspend chosen delivery dates and times. If there will be a significant delay, we may call or e-mail you to let you know the status of your delivery time. We will deliver your order as soon as the conditions permit. If your designated delivery location (i.e., street, avenue, etc.) or day is inaccessible, rendering us unable to make the delivery, we will contact you to determine the best alternate location and/or date.
Payment. Your credit/debit card will be charged for your order upon delivery, unless special payment terms were agreed in writing in advance between Harvest and the client. Harvest will not process orders that use an incorrect, expired, or over-the-limit credit card. We will attempt to contact you if this occurs. However, in the event such an order is processed, Harvest reserves the right to collect funds for any uncollected transactions owed to it. Harvest may charge a nominal fee of $25 per order should a payment made via credit card (or a check, if agreed by Harvest) be declined resulting in the need for alternate payment or exception processing. Harvest does not accept checks, unless we specifically provide this option as a part of a specific and individual payment agreement. If you fail to pay any fees or charges when due (which would include if a check is returned or electronic payment is rejected) or if a redelivery fee or restocking fee is imposed, Harvest may charge such amount directly to the credit card identified in your Customer Account Information and Harvest may suspend or terminate your access to the Harvest Service. You shall be responsible and liable for any fees, including actual attorneys' fees billed and collection costs, that Harvest may incur in its efforts to collect any unpaid balances from you. Your right to use the Harvest Service is subject to limits established by Harvest and/or by your credit card issuer.
A 1.5% interest per month will be added to any overdue payment. Said interest does not imply the client has any right whatsoever to withhold and delay payments.

In the future, the Harvest Service may permit you to order and receive products, information, and services from businesses that are not owned or operated by Harvest. In such instances, Harvest acts only as the link between you and such businesses.
