4. Information on Our Website

We make reasonable efforts to provide useful and accurate information about our products and services.

However, website information may change from time to time.

Information relating to:

  • Seedling availability
  • Varieties
  • Quantities
  • Prices
  • Delivery arrangements
  • Transport options
  • Export arrangements
  • Other services

may change without prior notice.

A product or service appearing on the website does not necessarily mean that it is immediately available for purchase.

Customers should confirm availability, quantity, pricing, and other relevant details before placing an order.


5. Fruit Seedlings Are Living Products

Fruit seedlings are living plants and are different from ordinary manufactured goods.

Their condition and subsequent growth may be affected by factors outside our control, including:

  • Transport conditions
  • Temperature
  • Water availability
  • Soil conditions
  • Weather
  • Planting conditions
  • Handling after delivery
  • Pests
  • Diseases
  • Sun exposure
  • Farming practices
  • Customer care

For this reason, the purchase of a seedling does not constitute a guarantee of its long-term survival, growth, yield, or productivity.

Customers are responsible for providing appropriate care after receiving their seedlings.


6. Product Availability

Seedling availability may vary according to:

  • Nursery stock
  • Production cycles
  • Seasonal availability
  • Demand
  • Order quantities
  • Variety
  • Agricultural conditions

We may not always have every variety or quantity available at the time of enquiry.

Customers should contact us to confirm current availability before making arrangements based on a particular seedling.


7. Product Information

We aim to provide customers with relevant information concerning the seedlings we supply.

Where applicable, information may include:

  • Seedling variety
  • Quantity
  • General product characteristics
  • Availability
  • Pricing
  • Recommended handling information
  • Other relevant details

Customers should ask questions before ordering if they require clarification about a particular seedling.

It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the selected seedlings are appropriate for their intended use, location, farming conditions, and objectives.


8. Orders

An enquiry does not automatically constitute a confirmed order.

An order may require confirmation of:

  • Seedling type or variety
  • Quantity
  • Customer details
  • Destination
  • Price
  • Availability
  • Shipping arrangement
  • Other order-specific requirements

We may communicate with the customer before confirming the order.

An order should be regarded as confirmed only after the relevant details have been agreed with Fruit Africa Veriplant.


9. Order Quantities

Customers should provide accurate information regarding the quantity of seedlings required.

This is particularly important for:

  • Bulk orders
  • Commercial farms
  • Agricultural projects
  • Institutional orders
  • Export orders

Large quantities may require additional preparation and transportation planning.


10. Pricing

Prices may vary according to:

  • Seedling variety
  • Quantity
  • Order size
  • Availability
  • Commercial or bulk requirements
  • Other order-specific factors

Unless expressly stated otherwise, shipping and transportation costs may be separate from the price of the seedlings.

Customers should confirm the applicable price and shipping arrangement before finalizing an order.


11. Changes in Prices

Fruit Africa Veriplant may change prices from time to time.

A price displayed on a website page, promotional material, social media platform, or other communication may not necessarily represent the final price for a particular order.

The applicable price should be confirmed with us before an order is finalized.


12. Bulk Orders

Bulk and commercial orders may be subject to arrangements different from ordinary individual orders.

For large orders, we may discuss:

  • Quantity
  • Availability
  • Pricing
  • Preparation
  • Delivery
  • Direct transportation
  • Fuel costs
  • Destination
  • Other logistical requirements

Where a dedicated vehicle is used for a qualifying order, the customer may be responsible for agreed fuel costs.

The applicable arrangement will be discussed before dispatch.


13. Delivery to Nairobi CBD

Fruit Africa Veriplant provides free delivery to Nairobi CBD under our applicable delivery arrangement.

This means that delivery to the agreed Nairobi CBD point may be provided without a delivery charge.

However, this does not mean that delivery to destinations outside Nairobi CBD is automatically free.


14. Shipping Beyond Nairobi CBD

Customers outside Nairobi CBD are generally responsible for the cost of transporting their seedlings from Nairobi CBD to their final destination.

Depending on the route and order, transportation may be arranged through:

  • Bus parcel services
  • Courier services
  • Shuttle services
  • Direct vehicles
  • Pickup vehicles
  • Canters
  • Lorries
  • Other suitable transport services

The applicable transport method may depend on the destination, quantity, availability, and customer preference.


15. Transport Providers

Depending on the destination, we may use various transport and courier services.

Examples may include:

  • Guardian Angel
  • Ena Coach
  • Buscar
  • Dreamline
  • Naekana SACCO
  • 2NK
  • Mololine
  • North Rift Shuttle
  • Great Rift Shuttle
  • Wells Fargo
  • Other convenient bus, courier, shuttle, or transport services

The list above does not constitute a guarantee that a particular provider will be used for every order.

Transport providers may change depending on route, availability, customer preference, shipment size, schedules, and other logistical considerations.


16. Customer-Requested Transport

Where practical, customers may request a particular transport provider.

We may consider requests for services such as Wells Fargo, specific bus companies, courier companies, or other transport providers.

However, the requested provider may not always be suitable or available for the particular order.

Fruit Africa Veriplant may recommend an alternative transport method where appropriate.


17. Direct Delivery for Large Orders

For orders meeting applicable quantity or logistical requirements, we may arrange direct transportation using:

  • Probox vehicles
  • Pickups
  • Canters
  • Lorries
  • Other suitable vehicles

Where direct transportation is arranged, the customer may be responsible for the agreed fuel cost.

The exact transportation arrangement should be agreed before dispatch.


18. Shipping Costs

Shipping costs are generally the responsibility of the customer unless otherwise agreed.

The applicable shipping cost may depend on:

  • Destination
  • Quantity
  • Bulkness of the shipment
  • Transport provider
  • Distance
  • Courier charges
  • Vehicle requirements
  • Fuel requirements
  • International cargo costs
  • Airport of entry
  • Other logistical factors

We may provide an estimated or agreed shipping arrangement based on the information available at the time.


19. International Orders

Fruit Africa Veriplant may facilitate international orders and shipments where the relevant arrangements and requirements can be met.

International transportation may be arranged using:

  • Kenya Airways
  • Ethiopian Air
  • Rwanda-based air transport arrangements
  • Other convenient transportation methods agreed with the buyer

The appropriate method depends on the shipment, destination, availability, regulations, and agreement with the buyer.


20. International Shipping Costs

International shipping costs vary depending on the circumstances of each shipment.

Factors may include:

  • Bulkness of goods
  • Quantity
  • Weight
  • Volume
  • Destination
  • Airport of entry
  • Airline
  • Cargo handling
  • Documentation
  • Customs-related requirements
  • Other logistical factors

International shipping costs should therefore be assessed on an order-by-order basis.


21. International Documentation

Where applicable, international orders are accompanied by relevant export and plant-health documentation.

This may include:

  • Phytosanitary permit or certificate
  • Certificate of Origin
  • Other documentation required for the particular shipment

Documentation requirements may vary according to the destination country and applicable regulations.


22. Customer Responsibility for Import Requirements

Customers receiving seedlings outside Kenya are responsible for ensuring that they are legally permitted to import the relevant planting material into their destination country.

Customers may be required to obtain:

  • Import permits
  • Import approvals
  • Plant-health approvals
  • Customs documentation
  • Other destination-country authorizations

Requirements differ between countries.

Fruit Africa Veriplant may assist with applicable documentation and export coordination from Kenya, but the customer remains responsible for complying with requirements imposed by the destination country.


23. Neighboring Countries

For customers in neighboring countries such as:

  • Tanzania
  • Uganda
  • Somalia
  • South Sudan

we may use lorries, bus parcel arrangements, or other suitable cross-border transportation methods.

For some shipments, parcels may be transported on buses from Nairobi before being transferred or moved toward the final destination.

The logistics arrangement depends on the specific country, route, quantity, border requirements, and agreed transportation method.


24. Delivery Times

Delivery times are not necessarily fixed.

They may depend on:

  • Destination
  • Transport provider
  • Bus schedules
  • Courier schedules
  • Vehicle availability
  • Weather
  • Road conditions
  • Traffic
  • Border procedures
  • Airport procedures
  • Customs
  • Shipment size
  • Other circumstances outside our control

Any delivery estimate provided should therefore be treated as an estimate unless a specific delivery commitment has been expressly agreed.


25. Third-Party Transport

Where a shipment is handed over to a bus company, courier, shuttle, airline, or other third-party transport provider, that provider operates independently.

The provider may have its own:

  • Terms
  • Charges
  • Collection procedures
  • Schedules
  • Routes
  • Handling requirements
  • Storage arrangements

Customers are responsible for complying with applicable requirements of the transport provider.


26. Customer Information

Customers must provide accurate and complete information when placing an order or arranging delivery.

This may include:

  • Full name
  • Phone number
  • WhatsApp number
  • Email address
  • County
  • Country
  • Destination
  • Collection point
  • Preferred transport provider
  • Order quantity
  • Other information necessary to arrange delivery

Incorrect information may cause delays, additional costs, misrouting, or other delivery problems.


27. Inspection Upon Receipt

Customers should inspect their seedlings as soon as reasonably possible after receiving or collecting them.

Customers should check:

  • Quantity
  • General condition
  • Visible damage
  • Order accuracy
  • Packaging or handling condition

Any significant problem should be reported to Fruit Africa Veriplant promptly.

Photographs may be requested when necessary to assess a delivery-related issue.


28. Customer Responsibilities After Delivery

Once seedlings have been received, the customer is responsible for appropriate handling and care.

This includes, where applicable:

  • Protecting seedlings from excessive exposure
  • Providing appropriate watering
  • Avoiding unnecessary delays before planting
  • Following appropriate planting procedures
  • Providing suitable soil and growing conditions
  • Protecting seedlings from pests and diseases
  • Following appropriate agricultural practices

Fruit Africa Veriplant cannot control the conditions under which seedlings are handled or planted after delivery.


29. Seedling Survival

We do not guarantee that every seedling will survive after delivery or planting.

Seedling survival can depend on many factors outside our control, including:

  • Soil
  • Water
  • Weather
  • Planting technique
  • Farm management
  • Pest control
  • Disease
  • Temperature
  • Handling
  • Customer care

Our Refund and Returns Policy provides further information about circumstances in which damaged, incorrect, or otherwise problematic orders may be reviewed.


30. Cancellations

Customers who wish to cancel an order should contact Fruit Africa Veriplant as soon as possible.

Whether an order can be cancelled may depend on:

  • Whether the order has been prepared
  • Whether the seedlings have been dispatched
  • Whether transportation has already been arranged
  • The nature of the order
  • Any specific terms agreed for the order

Cancellation is therefore not automatically guaranteed after an order has progressed into preparation or dispatch.


31. Refunds and Returns

Refunds and returns are handled according to our Refund and Returns Policy.

Customers should review that policy for information concerning:

  • Damaged seedlings
  • Incorrect orders
  • Missing items
  • Return requests
  • Refund requests
  • Replacements
  • Customer responsibilities
  • Assessment of claims

Nothing in these Terms is intended to remove any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.


32. No Automatic Refund

A complaint, cancellation request, or return request does not automatically create an entitlement to a refund.

Refunds, replacements, or other remedies may depend on:

  • The circumstances of the order
  • Condition of the seedlings
  • Timing of the complaint
  • Transportation circumstances
  • Customer handling
  • Order terms
  • Applicable law

Each situation may be assessed on its individual circumstances.
