Due to issues arising from a number of customers not providing sufficient notice for postponement or cancellation of orders, we have revised our Terms and Conditions for 2019.
Please read this policy thoroughly prior to ordering. These terms and conditions are considered accepted upon the placement of an order.
Ordering Conditions
All payments are due 24 hours prior to turf being cut. Turf is usually cut the night before your delivery. E.g. if you are having turf delivered on a Saturday morning it would be cut Friday evening. We would advise payment to be made via EFT by Wednesday to give it 48 hours to transfer over. In the event that an order is placed less than 48 hours before delivery full payment via credit card will be required prior to the confirmation of your order (please note we have a 1% surcharge on all credit card transactions).
Cancellation Policy
Any cancellations must be made in writing to accounts@sydneywideturf.com.au and must be made three business days prior to the delivery.
In the event of a cancellation, a 10% cancellation fee is applicable of the total purchase price. If payment has been made, then the cancellation fee will be deducted from the amount and the rest will be refunded. If no payment has been made, then a separate invoice will be issued and payment of the cancellation fee will be required within 7 business days.
If the cancellation is made within three business days of the delivery, but prior to the turf being cut, then a 15% cancellation fee of the total price is applicable. If Payment has been made, then this will be deducted from the amount and the rest will be refunded. If no payment has been made, then a separate invoice will be issued and payment of the cancellation fee will be required within 7 business days.
Once the turf has been cut you will liable for the entire order regardless of whether it is delivered or not. If payment has already been made no refund will be offered regardless of the situation or circumstances. If no payment has been made it will be required within 7 days.
Please note all unpaid amounts after the 7 days are immediately submitted to the Small claims court if NSW and any fees and charges incurred will be passed on.
Postponement of delivery
In the event that you require your delivery to be moved we require a weeks notice to move the date. If the request is made less than a week in advance, a $150 ‘late notice postponement’ fee will be added to your order. This is done as we accept other orders and plan deliveries based on the orders we already have, so by moving your delivery you can significantly impact other customer’s deliveries.
Poor Weather Conditions
Please be aware that turf cannot be cut in the rain or if the fields are waterlogged. We always to our utmost to cut turf despite poor weather conditions. However, this is impossible in circumstances where it is unsafe to operate the cutting machinery (e.g. waterlogged fields).
While we do our best to predict conditions with as much notice as possible, it is impossible to do so with 100% accuracy or far in advance due to the many variables involved. In these circumstances, notice of postponement of an order can occur as late as the afternoon prior to delivery. Sydney Wide Turf does not accept any responsibility if we are unable to cut the turf due to factors out of our control.
