These terms describe your relationship with us and your use of our website. They are legally binding, and you accept and agree to them by using this website. These terms change from time to time, so please read them carefully each time you use this website. Your attention is drawn to the section below entitled 'Restrictions on our liability', as it restricts our liability to you - even if we are negligent. Your statutory rights as an individual buying something which is not for use in a business are not affected by these terms.
English is the only language used on this website.
INTERPRETATION:
In these terms: 1) 'us' and 'we' mean Mole Valley Farmers Limited. 2) 'including' and 'in particular' are used to illustrate particular examples, but they do not limit the scope of these terms in any way. 3) 'loss' means any loss or damage of any kind. It includes: (i) associated costs and expenses incurred in connection with any loss or damage or any related claim or legal proceedings, and (ii) compensation paid to third parties.
You: You confirm that: 1) you are accessing our website from within the United Kingdom, 2) you are over 18 years of age, 3) you are using your own payment card, 4) you are resident in the UK at the delivery address you give in the order form. If any of these are not true, you will compensate us in full for any loss we suffer as a result.
INFORMATION SERVICES:
This website includes information which we have sourced from third parties and which we make available free of charge. We have taken reasonable care when selecting those third parties, but we have no control over the information itself and we do not accept any responsibility for its accuracy. Some of the information concerns forecasts which may turn out to be inaccurate or wrong. This website also includes 'How To' guides, which provide guidance on certain tasks. These are a basic introduction to certain tasks for those who have not undertaken those tasks before: they are not comprehensive and they may not be suitable in all situations. Whatever the nature of the information, it is provided for general information only: you should not rely on it and you should obtain professional advice if you need information you can rely on.
OUR PRODUCTS:
The pictures on this website are for illustrative purposes only, and the items delivered may be different in detail. For example, they may be a different colour. Some items may not be available, in which case we may substitute an appropriate alternative. We may change our prices at any time, although this will not affect any orders we have already accepted. With some items, especially software, you do not become the owner of the item; instead, the manufacturer gives you a licence - ie permission to use the item in accordance with certain restrictions.
ORDER PROCESS:
You may only order items by adding them to your electronic 'basket' and then proceeding through the electronic 'checkout'. Further instructions will appear at each stage, and any charges you will have to pay will be clearly identified. Your order will be acknowledged when you submit it, but this does not mean that we have accepted it. Each item in your order constitutes a separate order. If we accept your order for all or any of the items, we will send you a further e-mail saying so. If we accept your order there is a legally binding contract between you and us. It consists of 1) the information on this website, 2) these terms, 3) your order, 4) our e-mail acknowledging your order, and 5) our e-mail accepting your order. It does not include anything else. Nothing on this website amounts to an offer to supply any items, and we are not obliged to sell you anything until we accept your order. We may decline to accept any order, or any part of an order, without giving any reason. You may be required to help us verify your age before we accept your order for certain items.

UNDERSTANDING OUR PRICING:
moleonline.com and Mole branded stores operate separately. This means that the products and prices offered at each may be different.

- Products may be priced differently in the stores than online at molevalleyfarmers.com
Similarly, promotional offers (such as coupons and additional discounts) offered at one may not be used at the others.
For example:
- In certain cases, a coupon offered in our Mole branded stores may not be applied toward purchases at molevalleyfarmers.com.
- Promo codes, free shipping offers and bonuses on molevalleyfarmers.com may not be applied toward Mole branded store purchases.

There are buttons for: Twitter, Google +1, Facebook ‘Like’, LinkedIn ‘Share’, and StumbleUpon. In order to implement these buttons, and connect them to the relevant social networks and external sites, there are scripts from domains outside of Mole Valley Farmers. Please be aware that these sites are likely to be collecting information about what you are doing all around the internet, including Mole Valley Farmers's site. If you click on any of the social buttons, these external sites will be registering that action and may use that information. In some cases these sites will be registering the fact that you are visiting Mole Valley Farmers, and the specific pages you are on, even if you don’t click on the button if you are logged into their services, like Google and Facebook.

EMAIL TRACKING

Other emails we send we put in tracking so that we can tell how much traffic those emails send to our site but we do not know who has clicked so the data is anonymous. Some emails we can track, at an individual level, whether the user has opened and clicked on the email. We rarely use the latter information at a personal level, rather we use it to understand open and click rates on our emails to try and improve them. Sometimes we do use the personal information e.g. to re-email people who didn’t click the first time.

Prescription Only Medicine - Veterinarian
If you are looking to place an order for a prescription only medicine – veterinarian (POM-V) you will need to obtain a valid signed prescription from your veterinarian. Your prescription must either be emailed or faxed to us, for more information about where to send your prescription please call 01392 872898.
Please note that we will not despatch your order until we have received an electronic copy of your prescription and we are satisfied that the prescriber and the prescription are genuine and legally valid. It is an offence for a person other than a registered veterinarian to prescribe a veterinary (POM V) medicine; and for a person other than the prescriber to amend a prescription issued by your veterinarian.
If we are unable to satisfy us that the prescriber and the prescription are genuine and legally valid we will cancel your order and issue a credit for the sum that has been paid by you for the product/s less reasonable expenses incurred by us in processing your order.
Any inaccurate or false information you supply to us could result in certain products being prescribed to you that are unsuitable or inappropriate for the intended use you have specified to us. Therefore, you hereby undertake at all times to provide true, complete and accurate information to us when ordering any veterinary products from us. You hereby acknowledge that we shall have no liability or responsibility for any direct or indirect loss or damage that may result to you, your animal or a third party incurred as a result of our reliance on false or inaccurate information supplied by you or on your behalf.

PLANT WELFARE AND LOSS REPLACEMENT POLICY
We cannot accept responsibility for the health and welfare of plants after delivery or collection from the nursery.
Please notify us within 7 days of receipt of goods to allow us to address any concerns. Within this time frame the Company is in a position to replace plants if there is good reason to do so. Following that period, the Company cannot be held responsible for the health and welfare of plants.
We cannot be held responsible for losses discovered within your planting scheme during the spring or summer following planting in the winter.
We pride ourselves on supplying healthy plants of the highest quality. However, it is not unusual for natural losses to occur following planting, even where good plant husbandry has been upheld, with the risk of losses being slightly higher for bareroot stock over and above rootballed or containerised.
Many factors exist which may have either a ‘positive’ or a ‘negative’ impact on the loss rate experienced, such as the storage and handling of plants upon receipt, the quality of planting, ground conditions, soil type compatibility, rainfall, drought and on-going maintenance. All of which are beyond our control.
We advise every customer to allow for this potential loss rate and to budget for replacements for two to three years following the initial planting.
Despatched with every order is our Plant Welfare Guide including what checks to make on receipt of plants, how to look after plants before planting out, as well as how to correctly plant and maintain them. Further, more detailed information can also be sought from our sales team or on our website.
The guides we offer are not provided as a 100% guarantee for plant success but as a help to reduce any potential loss rate.
