Terms & Conditions
REFUND POLICY
DoMyGardenSA (Pty) Ltd
At DoMyGardenSA, we are committed to delivering efficient, high-quality gardening services through our structured team-based system. Due to the nature of our services, operational planning, and upfront resource allocation, we maintain a strict refund policy.
1. General No-Refund Policy
All services provided by DoMyGardenSA are non-refundable once payment has been made. This policy exists because:
-
Service slots are reserved in advance
-
Teams are scheduled and dispatched based on confirmed bookings
-
Labour, fuel, and operational costs are incurred regardless of completion
Once a booking is confirmed and paid for, these resources are committed and cannot be recovered.
2. Exception: Unsafe Working Conditions
Refunds will only be considered in situations where our team is unable to perform the service due to unsafe conditions at the property.
Unsafe conditions include, but are not limited to:
-
Aggressive or uncontrolled animals
-
Hazardous terrain or structural risks
-
Presence of dangerous materials or substances
-
Situations posing a threat to worker safety
If a job cannot proceed due to any of the above, it will be documented and assessed. Where applicable, a partial or full refund may be issued at management discretion.
This policy ensures:
-
Protection of our employees
-
Compliance with workplace safety standards
-
Fair handling of uncontrollable circumstances
3. Incorrect Pricing Plan Selection
Customers are responsible for selecting the correct service or pricing plan that matches their property size and requirements.
If a customer selects an incorrect plan:
-
The service will still be delivered according to the selected plan
-
No refunds will be issued for under-booked or over-booked services
-
Adjustments may be offered for future services where applicable
This policy is in place because:
-
Pricing is transparent and clearly outlined before purchase
-
Resource allocation is based on the chosen package
-
Teams are dispatched according to booked service scope
4. Service Satisfaction
I
f a customer is dissatisfied with the quality of work:
-
The issue must be reported within 24 hours of service completion
-
We may offer a revisit or correction service, but not a refund
Our goal is to fix problems, not reverse completed services.
5. Policy Acceptance
By booking a service with DoMyGardenSA, the customer agrees to this refund policy in full.
