1.  These terms

1.1 What these terms cover. These are the terms and conditions on which we supply our services to you.  

1.2 Why you should read them. Please read these terms carefully before you submit your order to us. These terms tell you who we are, how we will provide services to you, how you and we may change or end the agreement, what to do if there is a problem and other important information.  

2. Information about us and how to contact us

2.1 Who we are. We are GreenThumb Limited trading as GreenThumb Lawn Treatment Service. 
Our registered company number is 03304341; our VAT number is 682576105.  However, the GreenThumb Lawn Treatment Service may be supplied to you by one of our franchise branches and where this is the case they will identify themselves to you during the ordering process and provide you with their details and in those circumstances your contract will be made directly with the relevant franchise branch (and not GreenThumb Limited).     In these terms “We”, “us” and “our” refer to the party that is contracting with you to supply your services (whether that be GreenThumb Limited or one of our franchise branches). 

2.2 How to contact us. You can contact us by telephone, email or post using the contact information shown on our branch page – Click here - Branch Contact Details.  
We encourage existing customers to contact us via the Customer Portal – My.GreenThumb.

2.3 How we may contact you. If we have to contact you we will do so by telephone or by writing to you at the email address or postal address you provided to us in your order.  

2.4 "Writing" includes emails. When we use the words "writing" or "written" in these terms, this includes emails. 

3. Our agreement with you

3.1 How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we contact you to accept it, at which point an agreement will come into existence between you and us.  

3.2 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the service. This might be because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the service or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.  

4. Our services

4.1 Our services will be as detailed on our website and in our brochures and materials.  
Our Lawn Makeover service is subject to separate terms and conditions please click here to access them. 

4.2 However, you acknowledge and agree that because the service involves natural processes that the duration of and end result of the service will be subject to variation (including due to ground conditions, weather, things that are outside of our control (including animal damage, weeds being introduced by natural processes from outside your garden and adverse weather) or pests that our services are not designed to treat).    

4.3 To achieve best results, we recommend that you follow the advice given by our lawn care specialist and also provided on our website.

5. Our rights to make changes

5.1 We may change the service to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements. Such changes will not normally impact on the outcome of the service, but if we anticipate that it will, we will notify you and you may then contact us to end the agreement before the changes take effect and receive a refund for any services paid for but not received. 

6. Providing the services

6.1 We will endeavour to begin the services on the date agreed with you during the order process however time of performance shall not be a vital aspect of the agreement unless we specifically agree in writing in advance.  

6.2 The service is usually a series of ongoing treatments (may also be single treatments) to be applied throughout the year and we will continue to provide treatments at the durations specified in our brochure until either of us terminates the agreement in accordance with these terms. 

6.3 We will normally try to notify you (using the contact details that you have provided) of the date on which we will attend (and agree this with you) to carry out subsequent services following the initial treatment service (although this is not always the case). 

6.4 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the services is delayed by an event outside our control, then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the agreement and receive a refund for any services you have paid for but not received.  

6.5 If you do not allow us access to provide services. If you do not allow us or our suppliers access to your property to perform the services as arranged and agreed (and you do not have a good reason for this) we may charge you additional costs incurred by us as a result. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange access to your property we may end the agreement and clause  9.2 will apply. 

6.6 Reasons we may suspend the supply of services to you.  
We may have to suspend the supply of a service to: 

  • deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes. 
  • update the service to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements. 
  • make changes to the service as notified by us to you (see clause 5). 

6.7 Your rights if we suspend the supply of service. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the service unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. You may contact us to end the agreement for a service if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 30 days and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the service in respect of the period after you end the agreement. 

6.8 We may also suspend supply of the services if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the services when you are supposed to (see clause 11.4) and you still do not make payment within 14 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the services until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the services. We will not suspend the services where you dispute the unpaid invoice (see clause 11.6).   As well as suspending the services we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see clause 11.5).  

7. Your rights to end the agreement

7.1 Your legal rights when you end the agreement will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the agreement: 

  • If you want to cancel at any time because you no longer want the service, but you are outside of the “Cooling-off period”, please see clause 7.2 
  • If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the agreement (or to have the service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 10; 
  • If you want to end the agreement because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 7.3; 
  • If you want to use your “Cooling-off period” rights because you have changed your mind, see clause 7.4. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions;  

7.2 Ending the agreement at any time because you no longer want the service, but you are outside of the “Cooling-off period”.   Unless you’ve signed up for one of our annual treatment programmes, you are not tied into a long-term agreement and can end the agreement at any time by giving us notice before your next service. We will refund any sums paid for services not yet provided. For customers on annual treatment programmes who pay monthly by Direct Debit, you can also cancel your agreement at any time by giving us notice – in these circumstances (unless you terminate after the final treatment in that year’s plan) you will be charged the current 'pay as you go' price for any services received in your current year’s plan before you notified us of your intention to end the agreement (which may be more than you have already paid to us to date for that year’s plan, in which case you will pay us the difference). Any payments already received relating to that year’s plan will be taken into account when calculating the total balance owed or owing. 

7.3 Ending the agreement because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending the agreement for a reason set out at (a) to (e) below, the agreement will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any services which have not been provided and you.  

The reasons are: 

  • we have told you about an upcoming change to the service or these terms which you do not agree to (see clause 5); 
  • we have told you about an error in the price or description of the service you have ordered, and you do not wish to proceed. 
  • there is a risk that supply of the services may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control.  
  • we have suspended supply of the services for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 30 days; or 
  • you have a legal right to end the agreement because of something we have done wrong.  

7.4 Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013). For most services bought off-premises you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund.  These rights, under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.  

How long do I have to change my mind? You have 14 days after the day we confirm we accept your request for us to provide the service. However, once we have completed the services you cannot change your mind, even if the period is still running. If you cancel after we have started the services at your request during the cancellation period, you must pay us for the services provided up until the time you tell us that you have changed your mind.   

When you don't have the right to change your mind.  You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of: 

  • services if you have asked us to start performing prior to the end of the cancellation period, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running; 
  • any products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.

10.2 Summary of your legal rights. We are under a legal duty to supply services that are in conformity with this agreement. Nothing in these terms will affect your legal rights. 

11. Price and payment

11.1 Where to find the price for the service. The price for the service (which includes VAT) will be the price provided to you by your local GreenThumb branch. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the service advised to you is correct. However please see clause 11.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of your order.  

11.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the service, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the service in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect. 

11.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the services we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the service's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the service's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the agreement, refund you any sums you have paid  

11.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. Payment is due on presentation of our invoice. 
We accept payment with most credit cards, debit cards and bank transfers, (if paying by bank transfer please include your customer reference number). If you are an annual treatment programme customer your payments will be taken monthly by Direct Debit. 

11.5 We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 8% a year above the base lending rate of the NatWest Bank from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.  

11.6 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong, please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we may charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date. 

11.7 Our Annual Treatment Programmes.   If you have opted to use one of our Annual Treatment programmes , the terms of that plan will set out the basis on the amount of the payments which will be made.  Our annual treatment programmes are based on the agreement to pay for our services by direct debit over a 12 month period. 

12. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you

12.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this agreement or our failing to use reasonable care and skill.

This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or sub contractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the services and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987. 

12.3 When we are liable for damage to your property. If we are providing services in your property, we will make good any damage to your property caused by us while doing so.

14.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this agreement, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this agreement, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the services, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date. 

14.6 Which laws apply to this agreement and where you may bring legal proceedings.
