What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from Cottle Strawberry Farm
Cottle Strawberry Farm values customer satisfaction and aims to provide quality service and products. Understanding your rights regarding refunds is important, especially given the nature of our offerings, which primarily include fresh strawberries and related agro-tourism experiences. Eligibility for refunds typically depends on the specific circumstances surrounding purchases or reservations made with us. Below are scenarios in which customers may qualify for a refund:
Product Quality Issues: If fresh strawberries or other products purchased do not meet the expected quality standards upon delivery or pickup, customers may be eligible for a refund.
Cancellation of Reservations: For any planned visits that are canceled at least 48 hours in advance, customers may qualify for a refund of the admission fee or reservation deposit.
Event Changes: In the event of a significant change to scheduled farm activities or events that customers have paid for, refunds may be considered.
Seasonal Availability: If a particular product is unavailable due to changes in harvest conditions after a customer has placed an order, that could potentially lead to a refund eligibility.
Promotional Offers: If a promotional offer is not honored or a price discrepancy exists for a published deal, customers may have grounds for a refund.
We encourage customers to review their order details and reach out to our team for any specific inquiries regarding refund eligibility based on individual circumstances.
