Sales Tax
Sales tax will be collected unless we have a current State or Federal Sales Tax Exemption Certificate on file. Virginia law requires that hardgoods purchases used in the course of your business are taxable, unless the items are purchased for resale.

Past-due or late accounts are subject to a late payment charge of 1½% per month (18% per annum) of the overdue balance. Any account showing a balance of 60 days or more will be handled on a C.O.D. basis with no discounts allowed. Payments on the balance must be made to continue purchasing material. In the event that it becomes necessary to file suit or turn an account over to our collection agency to enforce payment, South Riding Nurseries, LLC will be entitled to all collection costs, court costs, attorneys’ fees and interest at the rate of 1½% per month (18% per annum) on all amounts due and payable.
Claims
All claims must be made in writing upon receipt of stock and should also be noted on any Bill of Lading or Receipt. All returns are subject to review of management for approval and will be solely at our discretion and must be accompanied by a receipt. Any returned item may incur a restocking charge of 20%. It is our policy to insure your satisfaction but plant material returns will not be accepted under any circumstances after 48 hours of sale. Under no circumstances will South Riding Nurseries, LLC be held liable for more than the purchase price or for any incidental or consequential damages. In no case will claims be considered relative to orders which have not been paid in full within terms.
Warranty
We will make our best effort at all times to insure all material sold is labeled correctly, true to name and in good health and condition at the time of sale or delivery. However we can not assume any responsibility once the material has left our possession or for circumstances beyond our control. We give no warranty expressed or implied as to the life expectancy or productiveness of any material. In addition we assume no liability for delay or failure to deliver for any reason beyond our control or for any damage incurred as a result of installation. In no case will we be liable for any sum in excess of the original purchase price of the material in question. All material is subject to price and availability of stock on hand at time of pick up or delivery. Salesmen are available to assist in loading but shall in no way be held responsible for any material once loaded nor shall they be responsible for the loading in any way once it leaves our facility. This includes covering.
Tagging and Ordering Material
We encourage all customers to come and tag their own material. Do not send your clients unattended under any circumstances; in addition for safety reasons children and pets are not allowed in the yard. Plant material will be held for up to 5 (five) business days only! If tagged material is not picked up within five days, the plants will be untagged and sold. Arrangements may be made to hold material longer at our discretion, but a fee may be charged. Customers that abuse this policy may lose this privilege at our discretion or be asked to make full payment or a deposit at the time of order.
