If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the website or place an order.

"Florantia", "we", "us", and "our" refer to the owners and operators of florantia.com. "You" or "user" refers to any person accessing or using the website, including buyers and visitors.

If you create an account, you are responsible for:

  • Keeping your login details confidential, and

2. Our Services and Website Use

2.1 Scope of service
Florantia provides an online platform to browse, purchase, and receive delivery of live plants, pots, gardening products, and related services. All use of the site is subject to these Terms.

2.2 Limited license
We grant you a limited, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, revocable license to access and make personal, non‑commercial use of florantia.com. This does not allow you to:

We may suspend or terminate access if we believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law.

3. Products, Pricing, and Orders

3.1 Product descriptions
We try to describe and photograph products as accurately as possible. However, especially for live plants, there will always be natural variation in:

  • Height, fullness, number of leaves,
  • Colour, branching, and growth stage.

Differences between product photos and actual plants, where the plant is healthy and within a reasonable range of the description, do not constitute defects.

3.2 Availability
All products listed are subject to availability. We may:

  • Limit quantities per order,
  • Discontinue products, or
  • Substitute pots/containers of similar value or aesthetics if exact options are unavailable, after reasonable efforts to notify you.

3.3 Pricing and errors
Prices listed on florantia.com include applicable taxes unless stated otherwise. We may change prices at any time without notice.
If there is an error in price or description:

  • We may cancel any affected order (even if it has been confirmed) and offer you a refund or an option to reorder at the corrected price.

3.4 Order acceptance
Placing an order is an offer to buy. An order is accepted only when:

  • We confirm it via email / SMS / order status update, or
  • The order is prepared for dispatch.

We may refuse or cancel any order, including for reasons such as:

  • Suspicious or high‑risk transactions,
  • Incorrect pricing or product information,
  • Non‑serviceable location, or
  • Repeated refusal of past deliveries.

If your order is cancelled after payment, we will refund the amount for the cancelled portion.

3.5 Payment
You agree to pay the full amount for the order using one of the available payment methods at checkout. For cash‑on‑delivery (if offered), you must pay the full amount at delivery.
All payments must comply with applicable Indian laws.

3.6 Risk of loss
Risk and title to products pass to you:

  • When the order is handed over to the carrier for delivery, or
  • As otherwise specified by applicable law.

Inspect the package on delivery and report issues promptly, as per our Return and Refund Policy.

4. Shipping, Delivery, and Customer Unavailability

4.1 Shipping timelines
We aim to deliver within the timelines shown at checkout, but these are estimates. Delivery may be delayed by:

  • Weather, traffic, operational constraints, courier capacity,
  • Local restrictions or other events beyond our control.

Delay alone does not entitle you to cancellation or refund, except where explicitly stated in our policies (for example, certain date‑bound gifting products, if applicable).

4.2 Delivery attempts and address
You are responsible for providing a complete and accurate address and contact details.

If you are unavailable at the time of delivery, the delivery partner may:

  • Call you for instructions, or
  • Attempt a second delivery at their discretion.

If delivery fails because of incorrect address, repeated unavailability, or refusal without justified reason:

  • The order may be treated as delivered, and
  • No free redelivery or refund will be offered. Further redelivery, if we agree, may be chargeable.

5. Returns, Refunds, and Cancellations

5.1 Return and refund policy
Returns, exchanges, and refunds are governed by our separate Return and Refund Policy, which forms part of these Terms. Please read it carefully before ordering.
By placing an order, you agree to the conditions, timelines, and documentation requirements in that policy.

5.2 Order cancellations by you
You may request cancellation before the order is processed or dispatched, subject to:

  • The options shown in your account / order page, or
  • Our support confirming the cancellation by email / message.

Once an order is processed or dispatched, cancellation may not be possible. In such cases, our Return and Refund Policy will apply.

5.3 Order cancellations by us
We may cancel all or part of an order due to:

  • Product unavailability,
  • Operational or logistical issues,
  • Suspected fraud, abuse, or policy violation.

If payment has been received, we will refund the cancelled portion in line with our Refunds section.

10.2 Live plant specifics
We do not warrant that:

Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or related to your use of the site or purchase of products will not exceed the amount you paid for the specific order giving rise to the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so parts of this clause may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.

In such cases, timelines may be extended for the duration of the event.
