Product Information: We strive to provide accurate product information including genetic lineage, seed characteristics, and collector information. However, we do not warrant that product descriptions, photographs, pricing, or other content of our website is absolutely accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. Seeds are biological materials and individual seed characteristics may vary.

Quality Assurance: We source all products directly from 34 Street Seed Co. and maintain high standards for all our products. Seeds are stored in climate-controlled conditions and shipped in preservation packaging. However, due to the nature of our products as collectibles (not intended for germination), we cannot guarantee seed viability.

7. EU Consumer Rights - Right of Withdrawal
Under EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU, consumers generally have the right to withdraw from distance contracts within 14 days. However, this right does NOT apply to our products because:
Article 16(c): The right of withdrawal does not apply to "the supply of goods which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly."
Collectible botanical seeds are biological materials that deteriorate if not stored properly and are sealed in preservation packaging. Once shipped, we cannot guarantee their condition if returned.
Therefore, all sales are final. Please review our complete Refund & Return Policy for exceptions (damaged items, shipping errors, etc.).

- Incorrect items shipped (must be reported within 14 days)
