7. Payment methods - the information is available and updated in the "Payment options" section - https://secretgarden.ro/pages/payment-options, an integral part of this document.
8. Presentation of the offer and the characteristics of the products.
Generalities. secretgarden.ro makes permanent efforts to maintain the accuracy of the information on the platform. Rarely, they may contain inaccuracies or operating errors - changes may be made to prices, data and published content at any time, without prior notice.
Plant stage. It is an informational characteristic, intended to create an image of the state of the plant. For example, the notion of "flowering plant" refers to the fact that the plant is in bloom, but it can be at any moment of flowering - with or without buds, fully open flowers, etc. and also, in the case of transport by courier or a delayed pickup from the store, it may remain completely without flowers. Characteristics such as "Plant with stem/flowers/buds" represent an enumeration in which one of the specifications applies, not an accumulation of specifications. A flower stem is still a flower stem, regardless of size.
The characteristic "Initiated stem" is intended to signal the fact that the plant has a flower stem, at any stage - from a growth of a few mm to the plant with flowers.
Plants for the garden or terrace are grown in unprotected spaces or with minimal protection (shading nets or anti-hail nets). For this reason, naturally, they cannot have perfect foliage - the leaves can show traces, defects or other damages.
The size and general appearance of the plants. The height of the plants is measured with pots. Because plants are natural, each specimen is different, both in form and development. The dimensions specified on the product page are indicative, and the information must be treated as such, strictly informative and relative. Example:
- between two plants from the same lot with the "height 60cm" specification, there can be a difference of 10 cm or more.
- between a plant with flowers and a plant without flowers, the difference in height can be 40 cm or more, the height being sometimes given by the flower stem
The diameter of the pot - it is information taken from the manufacturer, with an informative and relative title. There may be differences depending on the origin of the plants, the horticultural and production standards of the country of origin, the conversion method (eg from inches to cm), etc.
Dimensions in Inches – Conversion for Imported Plants from Taiwan & Thailand
For plants imported from Asian countries, the entire cultivation system is different – they are grown and delivered in nursery soft pots with sphagnum.
For example, a 2.5-inch pot has an actual size of 2.5 inches, but the plant has an age and size comparable to a plant grown in Europe in bark, in a 9 cm pot. A 1.7-inch pot has an actual size of 1.7 inches, but the plant is similar in size and age to a plant in a 6 cm pot.
For this reason, the displayed size on the product page will be shown as (pot 2.5 inches ~ 9 cm).
This system is considered efficient for both plant growth and transportation, as everything is minimized to the essentials needed for plant development.
The photos are informative, presentational, and may contain accessories not included in standard packages or they can be made in their own locations, in greenhouses (with grow lights that can distort the image), or provided by the producers, edited by them or not. Other aspects that can generate differences between images and reality: the stage of plants and inflorescences at the time of photography, color variations specific to hybrids, the same variety grown in greenhouses and under different conditions. The light in which the pictures are taken and the camera used + the device used by the user influence the perception of colors.
Color variations of flowers and leaves. Both hybrids and species can show more or less significant color/shade variations, which occur naturally and cannot be controlled by the manufacturer or retailer. Sometimes, in the case of hybrids, the flowers can be completely different, even if the plants have the same parental formula. The general appearance of the plants may be different depending on the season, growth stages and/or other particularities. The flowers and leaves can also show differences in shade/color depending on the season, the fertilizer used, the pH of the soil, growing conditions, manufacturer, etc.
The perfume of flowers. The perfume of species and hybrids manifests itself in certain conditions, and the perception of each person can be different. In stressful conditions (transportation, moving, handling, etc.), it is possible that the flowers of the plants do not present the specific fragrance. For certain species, there are certain triggering factors (e.g. in Phalaenopsis the presence of the sun's rays in the morning). The data about the fragrance of the flowers comes from the producers and/or the community (eg groups of plant lovers). This information is informative and does not represent a guarantee.
Root condition. Although we make efforts to check the plants as best as possible, the state of the root system cannot be checked by us - a possible check would mean extracting the plants from the pots, but this procedure implies a significant destabilization of the plants before transport on the one hand, but also a very high operational cost.
Tropical/exotic plants they are not produced in Romania - they come from suppliers in other European countries (e.g. Holland, Germany) or even distant exotic countries (e.g. Taiwan, Thailand). During transport, they experience various stress factors - such as differences in temperature and humidity, moving/packing, phytosanitary inspections, etc. - which can affect them from an aesthetic point of view to a certain extent, without influencing their viability. Because plants are natural, each specimen is different, both in form and development.
Phytosanitary treatments. Frequently, there will be residual traces (spots of various colors) on the leaves due to phytosanitary treatments, but these can be washed with water or special products for plants. In very rare cases, some sensitive varieties may show minor burns or slight traces of toxicity following phytosanitary treatments.
Traces of pests. Plants do not grow and do not live in a sterile environment. All farms and breeders face pests, and this situation is normal and predictable - as long as pests exist in nature, contamination is very easy: pests can be carried by the wind, on clothes, on hands, they can penetrate through areas of ventilation, etc. It is important to note that the plants are treated both preventively and in case pests are observed - complex treatment schemes are used, which even give the plants immunity for a certain time. Before leaving the greenhouses, the plants are checked by the authorities, declared "pest free" and fit for sale, according to the horticultural standards in force. The fact that there are traces of pests cannot be equivalent to the existence of pests.
Transport pots and their contents. The plants sold on the www.secretgarden.ro platform are delivered as they come from the producers - the pot can be undersized for transport efficiency reasons, or it can contain materials that ensure long-term water retention, so that the plant survives during transport international. Sometimes the pots can end up cracked or damaged, and the substrate can be degraded. Sometimes, in the substrate or on the plants, you can find millipedes, spiders or other creatures harmless to humans, used by producers in order to biologically control (without chemicals) pest populations (for example, the spiders used are harmless to plants and humans, but they feed on populations of red spiders and mites harmful to plants; millipedes are predators of worms and other harmful insects).
The substrate and culture modality it differs depending on the manufacturer and the growing method, and different materials used as substrate or support in plant culture have different properties - after receiving the plants, it is the customer's responsibility to check if the substrate is in good condition and if it is compatible with the microclimate in which it will grow plants and watering habits, replacing it if necessary. Plant adaptation can be much easier when these factors are taken into account.
Plant care. After the moment of purchase, the responsibility of taking care of the plants rests with the customer. Considering the fact that plants are living, perishable products (not susceptible to rapid deterioration), each client has the responsibility (including moral) to document himself and to provide them with the necessary microclimate for survival and harmonious development. Basic information about plant care is available on the manufacturer's labels (represented by symbols) and, as far as documentation is possible, on the product page and on our blog.
Identification of plants. Plant identifications come from renowned producers from all over the world and are considered correct, being verified by us within the limits of operational possibilities and the availability of credible information sources. Sometimes plants may have unregistered names, or their identity cannot be accurately confirmed. In rare cases, labeling errors are discovered (especially in the case of plants without flowers) or producers use commercial names to better promote certain varieties. When a possible error is discovered, we check and update the information, if confirmed, in the shortest possible time, from an operational point of view. We cannot be held responsible for labeling errors by manufacturers, as we have no control over this process.
Plants without ID. Rarely, we receive plants without identification from producers. In such cases, when possible, plants are identified with the help of the community and with the help of online resources.
Hidden defects. Although we make efforts to inspect the plants as best as possible and we work with some of the best producers in the world, sometimes there can be hidden defects, such as: the presence of pests visible only under a microscope, the presence of pests in the substrate or in unopened flowers, etc. A normal general appearance, specific to the species or hybrid, taking into account all the specifications of point 7.1 of this document (Commercial Terms and Conditions), is considered satisfactory.
This terminal Phalaenopsis. Some specimens, or in the case of certain hybrids all specimens, may have terminal stems. The terminal stem does not represent a quality problem and no distinction is made between specimens with a terminal stem and those without, the plants being in both situations compliant with international horticultural standards. You can find more details about terminal stems here: Phalaenopsis terminal stem
Plant Passport. Starting from January 2020, all plants imported from EU member countries have a Plant Passport with a unique registration number on the label, on the pot, on the packaging film, or on the box (if they are without a pot) - Plant Passport is the certification that certifies the fact that the plants have been checked by the competent authorities in the European Union and fully correspond to the horticultural standards in force, being suitable for sale on the territory of the EU.
Phytosanitary Certificate. Plants imported from outside the EU are inspected upon entry into the EU - the inspection involves a detailed physical check of the plants and the treatment scheme applied in the exporting country, as well as the documentation certifying that the plants come from authorized breeders.

9. Prices and product availability
The prices and stocks presented are constantly updated, but during this process there may be operating errors or errors in the algorithms used by the platform - orders containing products with zero or ridiculous prices will not be honored. The products we sell are perishable, and your order can be affected by various factors such as: delays in the supply flow, existing stocks for which damage is detected, errors in the IT systems used by SC Best Florist SRL, human errors, accidents, etc. . In such cases, SC Best Florist SRL is exempt from any liability. For paid orders, the related amounts will be returned as soon as possible, respecting the legal deadline.
SC Best Florist SRL negotiates with suppliers and producers from all over the world, the best prices. SC Best Florist SRL is a direct importer - this way any additions that could be claimed by intermediaries are eliminated and there is a guarantee of quality/freshness.
With the exception of cases where it is provided otherwise, the prices of the products displayed on www.secretgarden.ro represent the final purchase prices and include the related VAT/VAT, depending on the country of destination and the taxation regime of the products. The final purchase prices can be prices suggested by manufacturers or suppliers or can be estimated according to the standard prices practicable at the industry level of the marketed product. The final purchase prices may not represent the most competitive prices on a certain product segment or for a certain period, SC Best Florist SRL having no obligation in this regard.
Best Florist SRL establishes its own price policy, independent of any external factors. The prices of some products can be negotiated in certain circumstances, such as large quantities/volumes, above-average values, etc.
Commercial discounts applied to products - SC Best Florist SRL may decide to offer its customers commercial discounts through special coupons, vouchers, directly reduced prices on the website or other means.
10. Payment methods are available and updated in the Payment Options section - https://secretgarden.ro/pages/payment-options, an integral part of this document.

12. Risks associated with courier delivery and product packaging
The packaging of live plants (and related accessories) is not a standardized procedure, as in the case of other products (electronics, household appliances, etc.). Plants are live, perishable products, which we pack at your request, trying to protect them as best as we can, so that they reach their destination in the best possible conditions - but the state in which they arrive can be influenced by many factors that we cannot control them, such as: large temperature variations, the way the couriers handle the package or other incidents. Although such situations occur quite rarely, due to these factors, we cannot guarantee the integrity of the plants following transport by standard courier services.
In the case of shipping flowering plants, the flower stalks/inflorescences are susceptible to damage during transport or during packaging/handling. Although such situations occur quite rarely, we cannot guarantee the integrity of the flower stems/inflorescences following transport by courier.
In the case of plants with generous foliage - it is expected that some damages will occur during packaging, handling or transport by courier - such damages are not of a nature to affect the viability of the plants and are considered acceptable, in the context in which plants with foliage generally present rapid growth.
In the case of ceramic, glass or brittle dishes, there is a risk of breakage during transport.
13. Refusal/cancellation of the order by the user after sending the package
Please keep in mind that plants are perishable products - for this reason, they are packed only at your express request, expressed by generating an online order with delivery services.
When you create an order with delivery, you assume that you will do everything possible to receive the plants in the shortest possible time, safely. For this purpose, you will track the package using the AWB number (tracking number) provided in the email confirming the shipment, you will contact the courier in good time by phone and email, you will maintain constant contact with us in order to resolve any situation that may affect the delivery time delivery.
In the event that you do not take all steps to deliver your package in a timely manner, and the package remains blocked in warehouses or is returned to us with fully or partially damaged contents, we will proceed to return the amount paid only for the products that we have received back in good condition. The value of services already provided (such as transport) or the value of damaged products (dried, frozen, torn, broken) will not be returned.
For orders with payment on delivery, refused without a valid reason by the recipient, Best Florist SRL will pursue by any means the recovery of the damage caused - from the cost of transport, up to the entire value of the order, when the products are returned by the courier damaged .
14. Billing - invoices are generated exclusively in electronic format and will not be included in the package in print form. They can be downloaded from the email announcing the dispatch of the order, and their correctness depends on the data you enter.
In some cases, errors may occur when generating the invoice - technical errors, human errors or errors generated by data that you have entered incorrectly or by the lack thereof - If you do not find the download link in the email announcing the shipment of the package, you please contact us reporting this situation, so that we can issue/send the invoice in due time.
