OUR PRODUCTS
The images of the products on the Site are for illustrative purposes only. The products you order and receive may vary slightly from online images, and the packaging of the Products may vary from that shown on images on our site. The packaging may also slightly vary from time to time.
All of the products shown on our site are subject to availability. We will inform you by email as soon as possible if the product you have ordered is not available and, if this is the case, we won’t process your order.
Spruce® is a registered trademark. Our brand and product design rights are protected and not meant to be reproduced.
OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
Our order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your order or subscription to us. Please take the time to read and check your order or subscription at each page of the order and checkout process.
Your submission of an order amounts to an offer to enter a contract to buy the products from us; you cannot then withdraw or cancel your order except as specifically stated in these terms and conditions.
No order is accepted from you until our website displays an order confirmation message. This message is displayed after you have completed your purchase and a receipt with your order number is sent to via email as confirmation of your order.
If we are unable to supply you with a product, for example, because it is not in stock or no longer available, or because of an error in the price on our site we will inform you of this by email and we will not process your order. If you have already paid for the products, we will refund you the full amount as soon as possible.
PRICE AND PAYMENTS
The price of our products is as quoted on the website and can change from time to time. The prices on our UK website are in GBP and include all taxes (for example, our prices include VAT at the rate that is in force on the date you make a payment). The price that you will pay in respect of any Order will be the amount shown to you at the checkout page.
Unless stated otherwise, prices stated exclude the cost of postage and packaging which are listed separately prior to you confirming your order.
Payment can occur by listed means only. You can pay for your purchase by all means listed from time to time as available on the Site. The account associated with your payment method will be charged at the time the order is accepted. We are not responsible to you for any losses that you might suffer as a result of trying to pay for an Order by any other means than those offered on the Site.
You will be charged the day your parcel is shipped.
You authorise us to charge your payment card account. By submitting an Order and providing us with your payment card details at checkout, you fully authorise Spruce to use those payment card details to pay for your Order and that such payment means legally giving access to sufficient funds to cover all costs of the Order. Spruce cannot be held liable for any fraudulent use of the payment method used.
We reserve the right to suspend or cancel any Order and/or delivery if you do not make the necessary payment to us when it is due – for example, the payment card details you entered at checkout are incorrect or the payment card account they relate to does not have sufficient funds to cover your Order. The delivery of any new Order may be suspended in case of late payment of a previous order, notwithstanding the provisions hereof.
We reserve the right to refuse deliveries to you and to cancel your account where payments have been withheld. You agree to compensate us in full for all reasonable costs and expenses (including legal costs) in obtaining payments that not been made in accordance with these terms and conditions.
Product Availability
In case of unavailability of one or more Products after placing the Order, we will notify you by email. The amount of the Order will be re-calculated, and you will be charged the new amount, which will be your original Order value, less the value of the missing Products. If the order is entirely unavailable, we will notify you by email or telephone and your payment card account will not be charged for that Order (or it will be refunded if it has already been charged).
In case of unavailability of Products before or after Order, (subject to the “Our liability” section of these Terms) we will not be liable for any loss you suffer nor liable to you for any damages as a result of the unavailability of such Product(s), to the fullest extent permitted by law.
DELIVERY
We use local postal services to deliver our products, and proof of delivery is not always obtained. Once the product has been properly dispatched and us under the control of the local postal services, you agree you cannot hold us responsible for delays relating to the delivery of products.
Delivery of Products takes place at the front door of the property at the address you specified for delivery. This means that if the Products are being delivered to a flat or property with a reception/concierge, delivery shall take place at the front door of this property and not at the door of the specific property within an apartment block.
Provided that we deliver the Products to the address you have specified in the order (or any other address agreed by us in writing) then the Products will be deemed to have been delivered and we will not be liable to you for non-delivery of the Products, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
We do not have to satisfy ourselves that the person who accepts delivery at the address you have provided is you or is a person authorised by you to accept delivery of the Products.
If you place an order for multiple products, please be aware that they will still be sent via your local post office and may be subject to delays. We, therefore, cannot guarantee delivery on a specific day and will not be held liable for delays outside of our control.
If you are a customer in the United Kingdom and your product (typically containing bottles) does not fit through your letterbox and you are out when it is delivered, Royal Mail should leave a card at the address with information about collection or re-delivery. If you are an international customer, please confirm such arrangements with your local postal service.
If there will be a change to your delivery date due to an issue with product availability, or another issue prior to the product being dispatched, we will contact you and provide a revised estimated delivery date.
UNDELIVERED PRODUCTS
If you think a product hasn’t been delivered, please check with your local postal provider to see if they’re holding it. If you are a customer with delivery address in the United Kingdom, this is likely to be your local Royal Mail delivery office (https://www.royalmail.com/delivery-and-collection-office-finder).
You must report all lost or undelivered boxes online within 7 days of the expected last day of delivery shown in your confirmation email.
To notify us of an undelivered product, please use this link: https://www.wearespruce.co/pages/contact-us. If you change your address, you must update your delivery address details in the relevant section of the website to ensure that products are not sent out to the wrong address. Please ensure this is done in time to take effect before you move as you will not be refunded or credited for any products posted to the wrong location. You can update your address details in your account section here https://wearespruce.co/account.
We reserve the right to not accept orders from you, and to cancel your account, if it becomes apparent that, in our sole opinion, the postal service in your area is too unreliable.
Any Products in your Order will be your responsibility from the time we deliver them to you in accordance with this section and the Terms generally.
For logistical reasons, we reserve the right to split shipments. This means that if you order multiple Products in one Order, the individual Products may be sent and arrive separately and potentially by different carriers.
Please be aware of the additional postal charges that may apply to your order at checkout based on what you order, the quantity you order and your delivery address including country of delivery.
If you are dissatisfied with any product you receive from us, please contact our customer services team on info@wearespruce.co.
FAULTY, DEFECTIVE OR DAMAGED PRODUCTS
If any of our products are inherently defective or damaged in transit, then subject to us agreeing that the relevant product is defective or has been damaged in transit to you, we will provide you with a replacement, or if the same product is unavailable, then a suitable alternative if possible or, at our discretion, a refund.
We will bear the delivery costs incurred by you in returning the defective or damaged product to us as long as you provide us with documentary evidence supporting those delivery costs prior to sending the product and provided we agree that the product is sent to you in a defective or damaged condition.
CHANGING YOUR MIND
For any of our products you’ve bought online, you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund, unless our products that are sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, and you have unsealed them. Due to the nature of our products, we, therefore, cannot accept any returns where the product has been opened.
When you’re sending products back because you’ve changed your mind, you will be responsible for shipping costs and ensuring the products are returned to us undamaged.
We will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case:
1. a) 14 days from the day you: i) return any products delivered to you; or ii) provide evidence that you have returned them; or
2. b) if there were no goods supplied, 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel the contract.
