Payment & Shipping Information

Accepted Payment Methods

Natural Seed Bank accepts a variety of payment methods for your convenience, including credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal. Please ensure that the payment and shipping information you provide is accurate and up-to-date, as you are solely liable for any loss or damages resulting from the submission of false or inaccurate information.

Payment Processor Liabilities

Payments made through our website are processed by third-party payment processors, such as credit card companies, banks, or PayPal. Natural Seed Bank is not responsible for any issues, losses, or damages arising from the use of these third-party payment processors. By choosing to make a payment through our website, you acknowledge and agree that any disputes, claims, or issues related to the processing of your payment should be directed to the respective payment processor, and not to Natural Seed Bank.

Order Processing and Shipping

Upon receiving full payment for your order, kindly allow a minimum of 3 business days for us to process and prepare your package for shipment. Please be aware that shipping times may be further impacted by holidays and other non-working days. The shipping estimates we provide are approximations and should not be considered as guaranteed delivery times unless explicitly stated otherwise.

We take pride in our prompt and efficient shipping services, but unforeseen circumstances such as weather conditions, carrier disruptions, or high volume periods may occasionally lead to delays. We appreciate your understanding and patience in these situations.

Disclaimer

The information, content, and material contained on our website are provided “as is” without any warranties or guarantees, either express or implied. Natural Seed Bank does not warrant the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of the information provided and is not responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in the information. By using this website, you acknowledge and accept that you are utilizing it at your own risk, and that any reliance on the information provided is strictly at your own discretion.

Warranty

Natural Seed Bank does not offer any warranty or guarantee on our seeds, as it is impractical to account for the varying factors that can impact seed germination and growth. The successful germination of seeds is influenced by numerous factors, including, but not limited to, soil quality, climate, and other environmental conditions, which may not always be conducive to seed germination.

Additionally, an individual’s gardening experience, knowledge, and practices play a significant role in the germination success of seeds. As a result, we cannot be held responsible for the outcome of your planting efforts, as it is beyond our control to ensure optimal conditions and proper cultivation techniques are consistently applied.

Please note that while we are committed to supplying high-quality seeds, we strongly encourage our customers to research and familiarize themselves with the specific needs and requirements of the seeds they purchase, as this will greatly enhance the likelihood of successful germination and growth.

Return Policy

Shipping fees are non-refundable. Products returned within 2 weeks of receipt qualify for a refund. Customers are responsible for covering the cost of return shipping. Please note that it is the customer’s obligation to ensure the safe return of the product, including any associated return shipping expenses.

Natural Seed Bank shall not be held responsible for any non-performance, reduced performance, crop damage, costs of cultivation, third-party losses, consequential losses (including loss of profits), loss of business opportunity, or any indirect, incidental, or special damages resulting from the purchase or use of our seeds. Our liability for any loss or damage stemming from seed or product purchases or usage, including those caused by mistakes or negligence, is limited to either replacing the item or refunding the purchase price, at our sole discretion.
