Terms of trade
Please find below our terms of trade. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
Credits and claims policy Due to the perishable nature of our product, you may experience an occasional problem with your shipment.
If for any reason this should occur, please refer and adhere to the following guidelines, policies and procedures. They will be strictly enforced.
- All flowers must be inspected upon arrival.
- Report any problems that may lead to a credit request to your account representative by telephone but also and in writing (email or fax) within 24 hours of arrival.
- Never discard, throw away, or destroy problem flowers. We often request that problem flowers are sent elsewhere (at our expense and by carrier of our choice) for examination. The purpose of this measure is to assist us in providing our growers with as much information as possible on the problem product. Please gather all unusable product and have it ready for shipment if we request for it to be sent elsewhere. Please use original boxes, labels, sleeves and/or cartons.
- Please try to provide your account representative with as many of the following details as possible: invoice number, shipping date from Tuning BV, carrier, Airway bill number and trucking-company. Please report the number of stems, bunches or units that are unusable. (We ask that you try to salvage the usable flowers that are within the problem boxes.) Please try to be as specific as possible when describing (in writing by e-mail or fax) the problem with your account representative. The more information we have to forward to the grower the easier it will be to identify and correct the problem.
- You must submit a credit request letter or form confirming the problem no later then 72 hours after product arrival. The letter or form must have all relevant information on it.
- If we sell you ex warehouse or free on board transportation delays, box shortages, box damage and heating caused by carriers are the responsibility of your chosen freight or air carrier. Please direct all such claims to the carrier. Tuning BV cannot be liable for third party negligence.
