Welcome to Exotic Seeds Store. By accessing or purchasing from our website at https://www.exotic-seeds.store/, you agree to the following Terms of Service and Refund Policy. Please read these terms carefully before placing an order.
1. Orders and Payments
1.1 Payment Methods
Exotic Seeds Store offers several payment methods, depending on availability:
-
Stripe: A secure and convenient option for card payments.
-
PayPal: Available where supported and offered at checkout.
-
Bank Transfer: Customers may also choose to pay by bank transfer.
Payment instructions are provided during the checkout process. Customers are responsible for completing payment using the selected payment method.
1.2 Payment Security
Payment transactions are processed through the applicable payment provider. Exotic Seeds Store does not request or store complete card payment details on its own servers when payment is processed through an external payment provider.
2. Order Processing and Shipping
2.1 Processing Time
Orders are normally prepared and processed within 1–10 business days, depending on product availability, order volume, and other operational circumstances.
Processing times may occasionally be longer during holidays, periods of unusually high demand, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
2.2 Shipping
Once an order has been processed, it is shipped using the available delivery service selected or offered for the destination.
Delivery times vary according to the destination country, shipping method, customs procedures, postal conditions, and other circumstances outside our control.
2.3 Customs and Import Charges
International orders may be subject to customs duties, taxes, import fees, or other charges imposed by the destination country.
Any such charges are the responsibility of the recipient unless otherwise stated before purchase.
Exotic Seeds Store is not responsible for delays caused by customs inspections, import restrictions, local authorities, postal services, or other circumstances outside our control.
3. Returns and Refunds
3.1 Return Period
Where a return is legally permitted and applicable to the purchased product, customers should contact Exotic Seeds Store within 14 days of receiving the order.
Before returning any product, customers should contact us and receive return instructions.
3.2 Seed Packets and Opened Products
Due to the nature of seeds and planting materials, opened seed packets may not be eligible for return or refund.
Products must be returned in their original condition where applicable. Any statutory consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded remain unaffected.
3.3 Return Shipping Costs
Unless the return is caused by an error on our part or applicable law requires otherwise, the customer is responsible for the cost of returning the product.
3.4 Refund Processing
Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method within 5–10 business days after the return has been received and inspected.
The actual time required for the funds to appear in the customers account may also depend on the payment provider or financial institution.
4. Damaged, Incorrect, or Missing Items
If an order arrives damaged, incomplete, or contains an incorrect item, the customer must contact Exotic Seeds Store as soon as possible after delivery.
To help us investigate a claim, customers may be required to provide photographs, packaging information, shipping labels, and other relevant evidence.
4.1 Unboxing Video
For damaged, incomplete, or incorrectly supplied orders, Exotic Seeds Store strongly recommends recording a continuous, unedited video of the package being opened from its original sealed condition.
Where an unboxing video is required for the investigation of a particular claim, the absence of such evidence may make it difficult or impossible for us to verify what occurred during delivery.
Nothing in this section is intended to remove any mandatory consumer rights provided by applicable law.
5. Product Information and Intellectual Property
All product descriptions, photographs, graphics, logos, website content, designs, and other materials published by Exotic Seeds Store are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
Such content may not be copied, reproduced, modified, distributed, republished, or used commercially without prior written permission, except where permitted by law.

7. Customer Responsibility
Customers are responsible for providing accurate delivery and contact information when placing an order.
Exotic Seeds Store is not responsible for delivery problems caused by incorrect, incomplete, or outdated information supplied by the customer.
Customers are also responsible for checking local laws and regulations concerning the importation, possession, cultivation, and use of seeds before placing an international order.
