Clarke & Spears International will not be held liable for any loss of profit claims resulting from incorrect deliveries or damaged goods.
Not all the planters we sell are supplied as watertight and if you have any doubt you must check with the sales office at the time of ordering. Even where planters are supplied watertight the onus is on the customer to check this prior to installation on site. Planters can leak on site due to damage sustained in planting, delivery or while in situ and therefore no credit claims for damage to third party property will be entertained by The Company for damage allegedly sustained from leaking planters. The Company will repair free of charge any planters sold as watertight that are found to be leaking prior to planting.
Samples will be supplied but will be invoiced at the time of supply. A credit note will be issued if the goods are returned, unused and in saleable condition within two weeks of supply.
