If you wish to pay with an ACH bank transfer just give the office a call.  We will send your invoice with a secure link to enter your bank information and it is never seen by us. It's basically like writing an e-check and is a service that is provided free, there are no fees  to pay with an ACH transfer.

     We cannot accept a third-party check or a check written to us by your client.  Checks must be drawn on the wholesale customer's account. There is a $50.00 service charge on all non-sufficient funds checks each time a check is refused for payment.

Overdue accounts will be charged a rate of 2% per month, 24% per annum. Failure to pay the service charge will result in loss of credit. Any overdue accounts will be considered delinquent and will automatically revert to C.O.D. If your unpaid balance extends to 60 days, we reserve the right to withhold any additional plant material until the unpaid balance is cleared. Collection fees will be added to any overdue accounts requiring legal and/or special collection agencies. In the event legal action becomes necessary to enforce the terms and conditions customers agree to Lee County, Florida as the venue of any lawsuit.

There may be an additional fee applied for pickup outside of regular loading hours. Palm Source Pine Island LLC reserves the right to postpone any loading due to inclement weather, labor, mechanical or equipment problems.

     Customers may arrange, pay for, and coordinate their own shipping or delivery service can be arranged by Palm Source through an independent agency for trailer-load quantities. When using independent trucking companies, we can supply you with the phone numbers of trucking companies so you may obtain freight rates and supply them with directions. Ordinarily, independent truckers require C.O.D. payment. Should customer desire Palm Source Pine Island LLC to make arrangements for shipment we can do so for a fee and shipping will be included in your invoice. Once shipping has been scheduled at your request with an independent trucking company customers will be charged a 35% shipping cancellation fee if the job is cancelled.

     Plants become your property upon delivery to the independent carrier. We cannot be responsible for loss, damage, or delay in transit. All merchandise travels at the risk of the buyer and carrier.  No invoice adjustments will be made on anything unloaded without calling us before the driver leaves the delivery location. No claims about material shipped will be entertained after the driver leaves customer's establishment or delivery location. Due to the size of a majority of our material C-Flat trailers or flat bed trucks are recommended. Material with foliage should be protected during transportation.  

 

GUARANTEE:

     We make every effort to provide our customers with healthy, vibrant, high quality trees. Since we have no control of the product after it leaves our fields we can give no guarantee expressed or implied as to the life and productiveness of any nursery stock once it leaves our farm. All sales are final at time of purchase. No liability is assumed by seller for delay or failure to deliver due to conditions or contingencies beyond our control. Liability in all instances is limited to the purchase price.

 

FLORIDA SALES TAX:

     We are required to collect Florida state tax on all sales picked up or delivered to a point in Florida unless a properly executed sales tax exempt certificate is provided. Pick ups are charged at a FL 6% sales tax rate. Deliveries will be charged the tax rate of the county to which the load is being delivered. A tax-exempt certificate must be on file in our office prior to invoicing the sale for any tax-exempt sales. Tax-exempt certificates need to be updated with our office on a yearly basis. Deliveries to out-of-state customers are Florida tax-exempt. Unless we are provided with a valid exemption certificate, out-of-state sales are subject to FL sales tax if the customer picks up the plant material. All goods and/or services are subject to Florida Sales Tax where required by law and the customer is responsible for any fees, fines, or interest incurred by Palm Source Pine Island as a result of non-payment of tax by customer or reliance by Palm Source Pine Island on an invalid certificate of tax exempt status.
