o   The goods differ in material respect or characteristic from the sample or product description;
o   The goods do not reasonably conform to the material specifications of a special order;

o   If your claim meets one of the criteria above, then the goods are returned at the risk and expense of Greenthumb Hydroponics as the supplier. Goods must be returned within 10 working days of delivery.

• A consumer loses his right of return, other than for defective or unsafe product/s, if the goods concerned have been disassembled, altered, permanently installed, affixed or combined with other goods.
• Consumers should choose carefully and not frivolously enter into transactions in the false hope and expectation that they may return the item/s for a refund.
• In the event the consumer is entitled to a refund, it is entirely acceptable for Greenthumb Hydroponics to request proof of purchase from the consumer.

Our policy lasts 10 days. If 10 days have gone by since your purchase, unfortunately we can’t offer you a refund or exchange.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging.

Several types of goods are exempt from being returned. Perishable goods such as plant nutrition, amendments, nor chemicals. We also do not accept products that are intimate or sanitary goods, hazardous materials, or flammable liquids or gases.

To complete your return, we require a receipt or proof of purchase. Please do not send your purchase back to the manufacturer without contacting us prior to sending the order back.

There are certain situations where only partial refunds are granted:

o   Any item not in its original condition, is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error.
