Warranty, Limitation of liability and Disclaimer

Alpha Nurseries, Inc. (A.N.I.) makes no warranty regarding its products, merchantability or any other type of guarantee, express or implied. All of our material is sold true to form and general species characteristics. All plant material will be shipped in good condition, in proper packaging to extend the viability of the living plant material. All care must be taken by the customer to insure proper care once the trees have been received and should be planted as soon as feasible. A. N. I. assumes no liability for cost incurred in planting or any other related cost to our product. Recognizing our dependency on and exposure to the elements, all orders are subject to crop conditions. A few of such (but not limited to) are listed here: Hail, Frost, Inventory error, Flooding, Fungal infections and Insect damage.

Failure to pay when credit has been extended:

A.N.I. only charges interest for outstanding balances, with the first charges assessed via statement 60 days after shipment. If payment is still not made in 6 months, we will initiate court proceedings no later than 6 months from shipment date. If it is necessary to take an account to court, the customer agrees to assume A.N.I. legal costs if found liable by the court.

Aside from the legal statement, we want you to know that we will do everything possible to make your experience with Alpha Nurseries, Inc. a pleasant one--and our goal is to see our plant material does well on your site. While our legal responsibility ends when the stock leaves the door in good condition, we will try to go the extra mile wherever we can.

Corrections to inventory:

While a conservative and accurate inventory is our goal, at times we do not have enough plants to fill our orders. Our policy in those cases is to share the impact of that reality as broadly as possible to make any change to your order--a minor one.

Deposits:

Orders for which a deposit is not received will be acknowledged but not confirmed until the deposit is paid. Our goal is the fair and equitable treatment of all of our customers. Demand is high and we need to verify customer commitment via the deposit system for our stock.
