3 OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
3.1 Our acceptance of your Order will take place when we email you to accept it, at which point the Contract will come into existence between you and us.
3.2 If we are unable to accept your Order, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the Dig Products you have ordered. This might be because any Dig Instant Beds you have ordered are out of stock or out of season, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the Dig Products you have ordered or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.
3.3 We will assign an Order number to your Order and tell you what it is when we accept your Order. It will help us if you can tell us the Order number whenever you contact us about your Order.
3.4 Although our reach is expanding all the time, we are currently only accepting Orders from certain London postcodes. Details of the postcodes that we currently serve are set out on our Website. We reserve the right not to accept any Order from an address in a location that we do not currently serve.
4 OUR DIG INSTANT BEDS
4.1 All specifications, sizes and other descriptions of any Dig Instant Beds, particularly any plants, on our Website are approximate only and are intended to serve as a guide.
4.2 The images of the Dig Instant Beds, particularly any images of plants, on our Website are for illustrative purposes only. We cannot guarantee that every image accurately reflects the true colour of the Dig Instant Beds, particularly any plants as this may be dependent on a variety of factors including the season and type of plant.
4.3 The packaging of the Dig Instant Beds may vary from that shown in images on our Website.
4.4 We may also supply you with a planting and care guide for any plants included in the Dig Instant Beds you have ordered. Any such guide is only intended to provide suggested best practice instructions for caring for such plants. We recommend that you read the guide in full and follow the instructions in the guide when caring for your plants. We will not be liable for any damage or loss caused to any of your Dig Instant Beds as a result of you following or failing to follow the instructions in any such guide.
5 OUR DIG BESPOKE DESIGNS
5.1 All specifications, sizes and other descriptions contained in the Designs are approximate only and are intended to serve as a guide.

5.3 If you purchase Dig Bespoke Designs from us, unless we agree otherwise, such Dig Bespoke Designs (and the price paid by you for such Dig Bespoke Designs) will only include the provision by us of consultancy design services and the supply to you of the Designs. Such Dig Bespoke Designs will not include the provision of:
5.3.1 any plants or other goods specified in the Designs. If we subsequently agree to supply you with any plants or other goods specified in the Designs, the clauses of these Terms relating to the supply of Dig Instant Beds shall separately apply to the provision of such plants or other Dig Instant Beds to you; and/or
5.3.2 any landscaping or other works required in order to implement the Designs (“Works”). Any such Works will be your responsibility (or the responsibility of any third party that you engage to provide and/or carry out such Works) and we will not be responsible or liable to you for any such Works.
6 YOUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES
If you wish to make a change to the Dig Products you have ordered, please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the Dig Products, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to cancel your Order (see clause 10 – Your rights to cancel).
7 OUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES
7.1 We may change any of the Dig Products:
7.1.1 to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and/or
7.1.2 to implement or make minor technical adjustments, improvements or substitutions. For example, if certain plants are not available then we may substitute them with plants of the same type but a different version. These changes will not affect your use of the Dig Products.
7.2 In addition, we may make more significant changes to the Dig Products and/or to these Terms, but if we do so we will notify you and you may then contact us to end the Contract before the changes take effect and receive a refund for any Dig Products paid for but not received.
8 PRICE AND PAYMENT
8.1 The price of the Dig Products you have ordered (which includes any VAT (if applicable), unless otherwise stated) will be the price indicated on the Order pages when you place your Order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the Dig Products advised to you is correct. However please see clause 8.5 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the Dig Products you have ordered.
8.2 The price of the Dig Instant Beds does not include the price for delivery of such Dig Instant Beds, the costs of which (if any) will be as displayed to you on our Website.
8.3 The price of the Dig Bespoke Designs does not include the price of providing any of the plants or other goods specified in the Designs, or of providing the Works, as further detailed in clause 5.3 above.
8.4 If the rate of any VAT chargeable changes between your Order date and the date we supply the Dig Products to you, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Dig Products in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
8.5 It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Dig Products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your Order so that, where the correct price at your Order date is less than our stated price at your Order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the correct price at your Order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your Order.
8.6 We accept payment by credit or debit card or any other payment methods stipulated on the Order pages when you place your Order.
8.7 Where you order Dig Instant Beds, you must pay for them and any applicable charges for delivery, in full, at the time of placing the Order.
8.8 Where you order Dig Bespoke Designs, you must pay for them before we start providing them.
8.9 If you do not make any payment to us by the due date for payment, we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of the Bank of England from time to time. This interest will accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
9 DELIVERY AND SUPPLY OF SERVICES
9.1 The costs of delivery of any Dig Instant Beds will be as displayed to you on our Website.
9.2 During the Order process we will let you know when we will provide the Dig Products you have ordered to you. As a general guide, where you have ordered Dig Instant Beds, we will aim to deliver the Dig Instant Beds to you within two weeks of receipt of your payment. However, this may not always be possible, for example due to stock or resource constraints. In such circumstances, we will notify you of any such delays and the expected delivery date for the Dig Instant Beds.
9.3 If our supply of the Dig Products is delayed by an event outside our control (including, but not limited to, any delays caused by COVID-19) then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the Contract and receive a refund for any Dig Products you have paid for but not received.
9.4 We will deliver the Dig Instant Beds to the address stated on the Order. If no one is available at your address to take delivery, we will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery. An additional charge for any subsequent attempt to deliver the Dig Instant Beds may be made at our sole discretion.
9.5 If, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery, we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the Contract and clause 11.2 will apply.
9.6 The Dig Instant Beds will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the Dig Instant Beds to the address you gave us in your Order. You will own the Dig Instant Beds once we have received payment in full for them.
9.7 We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the Dig Products to you. If so, this will have been stated in the description of the Dig Products on our Website or as otherwise notified to you. We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the Contract (and clause 11.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the Dig Products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
9.8 We may have to suspend the supply of the Dig Products to:
9.8.1 deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
9.8.2 update the Dig Products to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; or
9.8.3 make changes to the Dig Products as requested by you or notified by us to you (see clause 7.2 ).
9.9 If we suspend the supply of the Dig Products, we will contact you in advance to tell you unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. We will also adjust the price so that you do not pay for the Dig Products while they are suspended. You may contact us to end the Contract for the Dig Products if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the Dig Products in respect of the period after you end the Contract.
9.10 Further, if you do not pay us for the Dig Products when you are supposed to (see clause 8 ) and you still do not make payment within 7 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the Dig Products until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the Dig Products in such circumstances. We will not charge you for the Dig Products during the period for which they are suspended. As well as suspending the Dig Products we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see clause 12.5 ).
