Terms of Service — v2.1

Terms of Service — v2.1

These Terms are a binding agreement between you and Annie’s Online Nursery, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Annie’s,” “we,” “us”), governing anniesonlinenursery.com (the “Site”) and everything we sell or offer through it.

Incorporated by reference and equally binding:

If you don’t agree to all three, don’t use the Site.

Annie’s is a licensed Delaware nursery. Our nursery license number (Delaware Nursery License No. 2026953503) appears in the footer of every page and on this document, as required by 3 Del. C. § 1308(c). Our corporate address is 1202 N West St, Wilmington, DE 19801.

We are not landscape architects.No one at Annie’s is a licensed landscape architect, and nothing we provide — including anything produced by the AI Yard Designer — is landscape architecture, architecture, engineering, surveying, or professional design services of any kind. We do not hold ourselves out as licensed in any such profession.

We are a plant seller. We select and grow plants, we deliver them, and we offer free tools to help you imagine what plants might look like in your yard. That is the entire scope of what we do.

You must be 18 or older and able to form a binding contract. If you order for a business, HOA or other organization, you represent that you can bind it.

  • Plants: delivered in Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland, within approximately 60 miles of Wilmington, Delaware.
  • Installation: through our independent partner, within approximately 30 miles of our Wilmington shop.
  • We do not ship by mail or common carrier, and we do not deliver outside those four states.

The town list in your cart is our current service area and may change. If you order to an address we can’t serve, we’ll contact you and refund in full.

Every plant is a living organism. Size, form, branching, foliage colour, bloom timing and overall appearance vary naturally between individual plants of the same variety, and vary with season, weather and growing conditions.

Photographs, renderings and illustrations on this Site — including catalog images, garden plan images, planting blueprints, and every image produced by the AI Yard Designer — are illustrations of how a variety or arrangement can look. They are not photographs of the specific plants you will receive, they are not a sample or model of the goods, and they are not a representation of the condition, size or appearance of anything at delivery.

No image on this Site is made part of the basis of any bargain, and no image creates any express warranty.

We affirm only this, and it is the complete set of representations we make about any plant:

  1. The container size stated in the listing (this describes the pot, not the plant)
  2. Any height range at delivery expressly stated in the listing
  3. The botanical name and variety
  4. That the plant is alive and free from visible dangerously injurious plant pests at the time we hand it to you

“Matures to” figures, bloom months, colour descriptions, growth rates and bloom calendars are general horticultural information about the variety, not affirmations about your plant or your site.

We are a Delaware nursery. Some of what we sell we grow ourselves; some we purchase from other growers, primarily in the Delaware Valley region, and finish or hold at our facility. Where a listing states a place of origin, we intend it accurately. If you need to know the origin of a specific plant before you buy, ask us and we will tell you.

Inventory changes. If we sell out after you order, we’ll contact you and offer a comparable substitute of equal or greater value, a partial refund, or cancellation with a full refund.

For garden plans and kits, we may substitute a comparable variety of equal or greater value where it doesn’t materially change the character of the plan. Substitutions are noted on your delivery paperwork.

Many ornamental plants are toxic if eaten; some cause skin irritation; some bear thorns. We do not screen orders for toxicity, allergens or thorns, and we do not know your household.

We also do not evaluate whether a plant suits your soil, drainage, grade, utility easements, setbacks, deed restrictions or HOA rules. Those assessments are yours. See the Delivery & Plant Care Terms.

Plant sale restrictions differ by state and change.

  • We do not sell any plant into a state where its sale is prohibited. Restricted varieties are unavailable at checkout for affected delivery addresses.
  • Some plants are lawful to sell but carry state-mandated invasive species notices. Where one applies to your order, that notice appears on the product listing and on your delivery paperwork.
  • You remain responsible for restrictions that apply to you rather than to us — local ordinances, HOA covenants, deed restrictions.
  • If a plant becomes prohibited in your state between order and delivery, we substitute or refund under § 5.5.

Prices are in U.S. dollars, subject to change, and the price at checkout controls. Sales tax is added where applicable.

Quantity discounts apply automatically and do not stack with promotional codes unless stated.

Errors. We may correct pricing, description or availability errors and cancel or refuse any order placed at an incorrect price, even after confirmation and payment, with a full refund. We will contact you first and offer the corrected price.

Formation. Your cart is not an order. Checkout is an offer to buy. We accept when we send an order confirmation. Until then we may decline or limit any order for any lawful reason.

Shopify.Payment is processed on Shopify’s hosted checkout, not on our Site. We never receive or store your card number.Shopify’s terms and privacy policy apply to that portion of the transaction.

Minimums and delivery. $299 minimum order (plants plus delivery). Flat delivery fee by town, shown once you select a location. Free delivery at $699 or more.

9.1 You reserve a height class, not an identified tree. You choose the actual tree in person when our trailer arrives, from those we have in your class that day.

9.2 We schedule a delivery week and confirm the day by email. Weather, harvest timing and routing can shift a week. Dates are estimates; time is not of the essence.

9.3 Doorstep only. We do not carry the tree inside, set it in a stand, or remove packaging. If no one is available, we may leave a tree of your reserved class at the door.

9.4 Neighborhood truck. We email when we’re working your area. We cannot guarantee a time. Trees bought off the trailer are sold as-is with no delivery fee.

9.5 Cancellation. Full refund up to 7 days before your confirmed delivery week; non-refundable after, because we harvest to order. If we cannot supply your class, we upgrade free or refund in full.

We do not install. We refer installation to Union Park Landscaping, an independent company.

  • Union Park is not owned, controlled or employed by Annie’s and is not our agent.
  • Any installation is a separate contract between you and Union Park, on their terms and prices.
  • Annie’s is not responsible for Union Park’s pricing, scheduling, workmanship, licensing, insurance, property damage, injury, or any act or omission. Direct installation claims to them.
  • Requesting an estimate is not a purchase; installation is not charged on your Annie’s checkout.

When Union Park installs an order purchased from Annie’s, you earn in-store credit equal to 25% of your Annie’s plant subtotal, toward a futureAnnie’s order.

  • Not a discount on the installed order.
  • Issued after Union Park confirms completion.
  • A promotional loyalty benefit issued at no cost. You give no consideration for it. It is not a gift card, gift certificate or stored-value card and is not redeemable for cash.
  • No cash value, non-transferable, not applicable to delivery fees or sales tax.
  • Calculated on plant subtotal only.
  • Expires 12 months from issuance, except where a shorter period is prohibited by your state’s law, in which case the minimum required period applies.
  • We may modify or end the program prospectively; issued credits are honored through expiration.

In memory of Annie, Annie’s Online Nursery allocates 1–3% of revenue to cancer research.

This is a voluntary commitment by the company, made from company revenue. We currently direct that giving to the Esophageal Cancer Awareness Association (EC Aware), with a company fundraising goal of $25,000. Details: anniesonlinenursery.com/cancer-research.

It is not a per-purchase donation. No portion of your payment is a charitable contribution, nothing is tax-deductible to you, and we do not issue donation receipts. We select recipient organizations at our discretion and may change or end this commitment at any time.

12.1 Before delivery. Cancel or change for a full refund any time before your order is loaded for delivery — email or call. Christmas trees are governed by § 9.5.

12.2 At and after delivery. Plants are perishable living goods. Returns and arrival claims are governed by the Arrival Inspection and Return Policy in our Delivery & Plant Care Terms. In summary: inspect on arrival, report problems within 48 hours with photographs, and we will replace, credit or refund that plant. After delivery, all watering, planting, siting and care is your responsibility.

12.3 Failed delivery. If we can’t deliver because the address was wrong, access was blocked, or delivery was refused, we may charge a re-delivery fee equal to the original delivery fee.

12.4 Refunds are issued to the original payment method through Shopify, typically posting in 5–10 business days.

The Site and its contents — text, photographs, garden plans, planting blueprints, catalog copy, the Annie’s name and logo, the site design, and the Designer software — are owned by Annie’s or our licensors.

You may view pages for personal, non-commercial use, including printing a planting blueprint for your own garden. You may not: republish or redistribute our content commercially; scrape, crawl or bulk-download the Site or catalog; use our images or plan drawings in your own products or marketing; reverse engineer the Designer or use it to build a competing service; or use our name or logo without written permission.

Your content. You keep ownership of what you upload. You grant us the license described in the Privacy Policy § 5. You represent that you own or have permission to upload everything you submit.

Do not: break the law or infringe rights; upload malicious code or probe our systems; circumvent Designer usage limits or verification, including by using multiple email addresses; automate access without written permission; impersonate anyone; harvest other users’ information; upload photographs of people without consent or of property you don’t own or occupy; or submit false claims or fraudulent payment information.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Annie’s and its members, managers, employees and contractors from any claim, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from: your breach of these Terms; your violation of any law or third-party right; content you upload; your use of Designer output; your planting, siting or maintenance of plants you buy from us; and any injury or damage on your property in connection with delivery — except to the extent caused by our own negligence or willful misconduct.

We are not liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including weather, drought, freeze, flood, fire, crop failure, disease or pest outbreak, quarantine or regulatory action, labor shortage, supply disruption, utility or network failure, or public health emergency. If such an event prevents delivery, we reschedule or refund.

19.1 Governing law. Delaware law governs, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The CISG does not apply. Nothing in this Section deprives you of the protection of any mandatory consumer protection law of your state of residence.

19.2 Talk to us first — required. Before filing, send a written Notice of Dispute to anniesonlinenursery@gmail.com (subject: “Notice of Dispute”) describing the problem, your order number, and what you want. We’ll do the same before bringing a claim against you. Both parties agree to attempt good-faith resolution for 30 days. This is a condition precedent to suit, and the limitations period is tolled while it runs.

19.3 Small claims. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court in a county where you reside or in New Castle County, Delaware.

19.4 Venue and jury waiver. Otherwise, both parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state or federal courts in New Castle County, Delaware, and each party waives any right to trial by jury to the extent permitted by law.

19.6 Time limit. Any claim must be brought within one (1) year after it arose, or it is barred — except where a longer period is required by law and cannot be shortened by agreement.

This Section applies only to New Jersey consumers and, as to them, overrides any conflicting provision.

New Jersey law — including the Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Warranty and Notice Act, N.J.S.A. 56:12-14 et seq. — limits the extent to which a seller may disclaim liability or waive consumer rights. Accordingly, for New Jersey consumers:

  1. No provision of these Terms limits or waives any right or remedy New Jersey law makes non-waivable, and any provision that would do so is void as to New Jersey consumers only.
  2. Sections 15 and 16 do not apply to the extent New Jersey law prohibits them, including as to claims for personal injury, death, or damages from negligent or intentional acts.
  3. Section 17 does not apply to New Jersey consumers to the extent prohibited.
  4. The one-year limitation in § 19.6 does not apply where New Jersey law provides a longer non-waivable period.
  5. Nothing limits your rights under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, N.J.S.A. 56:8-1 et seq.

Where a provision is valid in some states but not New Jersey, it remains fully enforceable as to consumers in every other state. Similar carve-outs apply in any other state whose law makes a provision non-waivable, to the same limited extent.

You accept these Terms by checking the acceptance box at checkout. The box is not pre-checked, and the text beside it states that checking it constitutes your agreement.

We record the date, time, IP address and document version you accepted, and will provide that record on request. Superseded versions remain available at /terms/v/[date]. The version in effect when you place an order governs that order.

Notices under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c) to our designated agent:

Include: your signature; identification of the work; identification of the material and its location; your contact information; a good-faith belief statement; and a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act. We will respond, may remove material, and will terminate repeat infringers.

We work toward conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. If you have difficulty using any part of the Site, call (302) 757-5496 or email us and we will assist you directly and take your order by phone. We welcome reports of accessibility barriers. See our full Accessibility statement.

Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy and the Designer/Delivery Terms are the entire agreement regarding the Site.

Savings clause. Every limitation, disclaimer and waiver applies only to the fullest extent permitted by the law applicable to you. If a provision would be void under your state’s law, it is limited to the maximum extent that law permits rather than struck, and remains fully enforceable as to consumers in every other state.

Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, it is modified minimally and the rest survives.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce is not a waiver.

Assignment. You may not assign. We may, in a merger, acquisition or asset sale.

Survival. Sections 13, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 22 and 24 survive termination.

Notices. We may give notice by email to the address on your order or by posting to the Site.

We may revise these Terms. Changes take effect when posted with an updated date. Material changes will be announced on the Site and by email where we have your address.
