These are the Terms and Conditions of MRG Horticulture Pty Ltd trading as MRG Horticulture Pty Ltd (ABN 20 665 572 476) (“MRG Horticulture Pty Ltd”, “we”, “us”) on our website located at www.treegers.com, which is owned and operated by us (MRG Horticulture Pty Ltd). These Terms and Conditions also incorporate our Terms of Use, Disclaimer and Privacy Policy, all of which can be found on our Website.

Please read these conditions carefully, as they apply to all transactions between us and can only be waived or varied in writing signed by us. By proceeding with a purchase on our Website, you’re indicating to us that you’ve read, understood and agreed to these conditions. If you have any questions or concerns about our conditions or Website, or any purchase you make through the Website, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

1. eCommerce

While we take every care to make sure our online store is accurate and up to date, from time to time, mistakes may occur (for example, a pricing error or stock availability issue).

Please note that when you submit an order through the Website, no agreement is formed until we process and accept your order and send you a confirmation. If there’s been an error leading to your order (such as a pricing or stock error), we may choose not to fill the order, but we’ll be sure to contact you to discuss your options (for example, placing an order at the correct price, delaying your order or exchanging your item for another). If we can’t or won’t fill your order, we’ll process a full refund as soon as practicable.

2. Payment

You agree to pay us the purchase price listed on the Website (subject of course to the proviso above, in the case of accidental errors and omissions). We may vary our prices from time to time. You agree and acknowledge that we may do so at any time on notice, and that such notice is given by us posting the updated price on our Website.

You acknowledge and agree that your payment in full in cleared funds (including any postage fees, discussed below) is a condition of this agreement, any breach of which will entitle us to terminate this agreement immediately. If a request for payment is returned or denied by your financial institution or is unpaid by you for any other reason, then you’ll be liable for any associated costs incurred by us, including banking fees and charges. We may also immediately stop delivery of any goods unpaid for unless and until we receive your payment in full.

If you fail to pay us for an order, or if an insolvency event (for example, if you commit an act of bankruptcy or become insolvent) occurs in relation to you, we may suspend delivery of an order, require payment in a particular form or terminate this agreement.

We currently accept payments by credit card or bank transfer. [AR1] 

In making a payment, you warrant to us that you’ve read and agreed to the terms of any third party payment gateway or processor or credit provider (such as PayPal, AfterPay or ZipPay), which are available on their respective websites. You understand that these services are provided by third parties, and are made available to you on our Website for convenience only. We’re not responsible for any issues, loss or damage arising out of those facilities. If you have an issue with a third party provider on our Website, please contact them directly.

3. Discounts and Coupon Codes

We may offer discounts or coupon codes from time to time.

Discounts and coupon codes are not available in conjunction with any other offer (for example, if we have two promotions on offer at the same time, you can only apply one discount or coupon code to a purchase, not both).

Discounts and coupon codes are available for the stated time, or else for a period of seven (7) days from the date that the offer was first made, or until stocks last (whichever occurs first).

Unless we specify otherwise in our offer, discounts and coupon codes are available on full priced goods only.

Coupon codes are non-transferable and are not redeemable for cash under any circumstances.

We reserve the right to revoke any discount offer or coupon code at any time without notice. [AR2] 

4. Postage and delivery

We post products to Australia and New Zealand. We use delivery service providers to help us get our products to you.

a) Rates

You agree to pay to us postage fees as calculated at time of check out.

As you know, technology is great but it’s not infallible. If there’s an error in the calculation of your postage costs, we’ll contact you before processing your order to discuss options (such as paying any additional costs or modifying your order).

Our delivery service providers may change their fees from time to time, and so you acknowledge and agree that we can vary the postage fees applicable to orders at any time on notice, and that such notice is given by posting the updated postage fees on the Website.

b) Dispatch Timeframes

We process all orders within 24 hours of receipt of payment. Once an order is processed, we’ll do our best to dispatch orders on the same business day or the next business day.

We ask for your patience as this handling period may vary, for example, if we have a high volume of orders.

You acknowledge that we’re not liable for any delay in dispatch of your order.

c) Delivery Timeframes

Delivery times will vary between orders – we’ll do our best to let you know when to expect your delivery, however this is largely dependent on the delivery service provider. As a guide, your orders should arrive within 5-7 business days, unless advised otherwise.

d) Delivery Address

It’s your responsibility to make sure that your postal address details are correct- we won’t be responsible for any incorrect or failed delivery if you don’t supply current, accurate postal address details. If your order is undelivered due to your error and returned to us, we reserve the right to require you to pay further postage fees or terminate this agreement and issue a refund in accordance with this agreement.

e) Orders Lost in Transit

When we dispatch your order, we will give you a tracking code for you to track the progress of your order.[AR3] 

If you’re concerned that your order has been lost or misdelivered, we ask that you contact us as soon as possible, so that we can investigate. You understand that while we’ll investigate your missing order, we make no representations as to responsibility or liability for any lost or misdelivered order. In the event of items lost or damaged in transit, you acknowledge that our liability is limited to the amount of any compensation we are able to recover from the delivery service provider, less our reasonable costs of investigating and applying for any compensation, unless otherwise required by law.

f) Risk

Risk in each order passes to you on delivery to your nominated address. You must sign for your delivery, unless you’ve given authority to leave unattended. If you’ve authorised us or our agents to leave your order unattended at that address, the order will be taken to have been delivered on leaving the order at the address. If you ask us to deliver to an address and you’re not there, but someone else at the address signs for the parcel, the order will be taken to have been delivered on leaving the order with that person.

If we accept a return of any goods, risk in those goods will revert to us on our confirmation of receipt of the returned goods. We recommend you insure goods you return to us against loss or damage in transit.

5. Events beyond control

As in life, sometimes circumstances beyond our control (strikes, floods, fires and extreme weather events, computer malfunctions, failure of service providers to perform services or injury or illness of key personnel) get in the way. If circumstances we can’t control affect our ability to dispatch your order, you release us from any obligation to dispatch your order while those circumstances continue.  While they continue, we may choose to cancel your order, or otherwise to complete your order once things have returned to normal. If we expect a major delay, we’ll contact you to discuss a suitable solution.

6. Advice and information

We may give you advice, recommendations, information or assistance in relation to products on our Website, their use or application. We give that information to you in good faith, believing it’s accurate, appropriate and reliable at the time but we don’t give any warranty of accuracy, appropriateness or reliability. Information and advice we give is general in nature and is not intended to constitute or substitute for professional or medical advice. You should seek appropriate professional or medical advice if necessary. We won’t accept any liability or responsibility (including liability for negligence) for any loss suffered because of your or any other person’s reliance on information or advice we provide on our Website, unless otherwise required by law.

7. Australian Consumer Law

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law, which forms Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (ACL). If you are an Australian consumer for the purposes of the ACL, you are entitled to replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

Nothing in these terms excludes any right, guarantee or warranty you’re entitled to by law, however we do exclude all other guarantees, conditions and warranties to the maximum extent permitted by law. We also specifically exclude liability for negligence.

Wherever possible, our liability for breach of any condition, warranty or guarantee is limited, at our option, to:

  • replacement of the product;
  • repair of the product;
  •  payment of the cost of having the product repaired; or
  • such other fair and reasonable remedy as we are ready and willing to provide.

We won’t be liable for any consequential loss or damage or other direct or indirect loss or damage, except where we are unable to limit or exclude such loss under the ACL.

If for any reason the ACL doesn’t apply to an order you place with us (for example, if you purchase the product for re-sale with our authorisation or if you are purchasing from outside Australia), then we exclude all liability to you and we’ll only refund an order placed if we can’t fill it, if we think it’s reasonable to do so, or otherwise as agreed in writing. Please choose carefully as we do not offer refunds for change of mind.

To make an ACL-related claim, please contact us at info@treegers.com.

8. Refund Procedure

If your goods are damaged or defective in any way on delivery, please contact us at info@treegers.com as soon as possible to arrange a suitable remedy, such as return, exchange or refund.

Please note that you are required to inform us of any fault with the goods in the period from delivery until the fault or problem would reasonably be expected to appear. Based on the nature of our products, we estimate this period to be approximately 14 days.[AR4] 

9. Intellectual property

You acknowledge and agree that all intellectual property rights owned by us or to which we are entitled before and after this agreement will remain our sole property and that nothing in this agreement transfers any ownership in our intellectual property rights to you.

10. Dispute resolution

If a dispute arises out of these conditions or if you are unhappy with your product for any reason, we ask that you contact us in the first instance and we will do our best to resolve the issue to our mutual satisfaction quickly, cheaply and efficiently. If we’re not able to resolve it within thirty (30) days, we’ll go to mediation in your Country, State or Territory (unless we agree to an alternative venue in writing) and split the costs of that equally. If the dispute still isn’t resolved within thirty (30) days of the mediation, either of us can ask the mediator to terminate the mediation and the mediator must do so.

Each of us agree that we won’t commence any proceedings in a Court or Tribunal until we’ve complied with this clause (unless of course we’re seeking interlocutory relief).

11. Variation

We can change these conditions at any time by updating this document and giving notice to you by posting a copy on the Website. The changes will take effect immediately on their being posted.

12. Severance

If any part of these conditions is found to be void or unenforceable by a Court of competent jurisdiction, that part will be severed, and the rest of the agreement will remain in force.

13. Termination

We may terminate this agreement at any time on notice to you. All disclaimers and limitations of liability will survive termination. On giving such notice, we’ll refund any amounts paid by you in respect of undelivered goods.

14. Jurisdiction

As we are based in your Country, State or Territory, these terms will be governed by the laws of your Country, State or Territory. In the event of any dispute, we ask that you first contact us, and we’ll do our best to resolve the dispute to our mutual satisfaction quickly, cheaply and efficiently. If we do end up in court, you agree that the exclusive venue for resolving any dispute will be in the courts of your Country, State or Territory and courts of appeal from them.

What is the warranty on your products?

Our GL650W+ and GL1000W+ LED grow lights are covered by a 5 year warranty and our GL300W and GL420W models, controllers and accessories all enjoy a 3 year warranty.

How do I properly maintain my LED grow light?

To ensure your new light continues to perform at its best, we recommend regularly inspecting your LED fixtures for any damage. It is also recommended to clean your fixture regularly with a soft damp cloth. Use extra caution when cleaning your LED bars as scrubbing too hard may cause damage to the silicone resin coating that protects the diodes. A can of compressed air can also be useful to blow dust from within cracks and crevices of the fixture. CAUTION: Always ensure the fixture has been disconnected from power and allowed to cool down before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance. 

Can your products be used for both indoor and outdoor gardening?

Our GL LED fixtures have a dust and water ingress rating of IP66. This means they are dust tight and protected against high pressure 12.5mm water jets, however, our fixtures have been designed for indoor use only and should not be operated outdoors or in wet environments. 

What is the lifespan of your LED grow lights?

If operating for 12 hours per day, you can expect them to last for over 10 years. That is over 50,000 hours. 

How do I know which LED grow light is right for my specific growing needs?

Here at Treegers, we offer a diverse range of grow lights tailored to various applications, ranging from our GB15W Grow Bulb to our expansive GL1000W+ Grow Light Fixture. All our Grow Lights boast full spectrum capabilities, ensuring your plants receive an optimal balance of light for their health. However, it's crucial to understand your plants' individual light requirements. While some plants flourish under modest light conditions, with intensity levels ranging from 50 to 250 umol/m2/s, others can withstand significantly higher levels of light, reaching up to 1000 umol/m2/s or more.

 

To assist growers in accurately measuring light levels, we've developed the Treegers Quantum Par Meter. This tool enables precise measurement of the light your plants receive at canopy level, offering invaluable insights into their environmental conditions. Utilize our Grow Light Tactics as a comprehensive guide, and for those seeking perfection, we highly recommend incorporating our Par Meter into your cultivation practices. By doing so, you can ensure optimized light levels for the specific needs of your favourite plants.

How do I install my LED grow light?

Installing your Treegers LED Grow light is a straightforward process. Most of our LED light fixtures are plug-and-play, requiring no more than connecting the fixture to a power source. However, for certain models that do require minor assembly, instructions are included to guide you through the process. Rest assured, whether your light fixture is ready to use out of the box or requires minimal assembly, we strive to make the installation process hassle-free for all our customers.

Can your LED grow lights be used with timers or smart home systems?

Absolutely, all of our grow bulbs and grow light fixtures can be used with timers and/or smart home systems. 

What is the return policy for your products?

Given the specialized use of grow lights, we do not accept change of mind returns, however, we are committed to providing assistance and support to address any issues or concerns you may have with your purchase. Our customer service team is available to help troubleshoot any issues and to provide guidance on maximizing the performance of your grow lights. We stand behind the quality and reliability of our products and are dedicated to ensuring that you are fully satisfied with your purchase.

How do I clean my LED grow light?

It is recommended to clean your fixture regularly with a soft damp cloth. Use extra caution when cleaning your LED bars as scrubbing too hard may cause damage to the silicone resin coating that protects the diodes. A can of compressed air can also be useful to blow dust from within cracks and crevices of the fixture. CAUTION: Always ensure the fixture has been disconnected from power and allowed to cool down before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance.

Are your products energy-efficient?

LEDs are highly energy-efficient compared to traditional lighting sources. LED lights convert a higher percentage of electrical energy into usable light, resulting in less wasted energy in the form of heat. They typically consume much less electricity to produce the same amount of light output as traditional lights. LEDs also have a longer lifespan, further contributing to energy savings as they require less frequent replacement. Overall, the energy efficiency of LEDs makes them a preferred choice for various lighting applications, including grow lights.

How do I troubleshoot my LED grow light if it's not working properly?

Firstly, check that your power supply is functioning properly. Disconnect all power to your fixture and inspect for any signs of visible damage. If there are no visible signs of damage please contact our customer support team at support@treegers.com.

Do you ship products internationally?

While Treegers currently ships Australia wide and in New Zealand via. our retail partners, please contact us at info@treegers.com for all international enquires.

Are your products suitable for hydroponic systems?

Absolutely, Treegers products are suitable for indoor cultivation using all types of systems including Hydroponics.

What is the best way to use your LED grow lights for different stages of plant growth?

Using LED grow lights effectively throughout the various stages of plant growth involves adjusting the intensity, and duration to meet the specific needs of plants during the seedling, vegetative, and flowering phases. Please refer to our Grow Light Tactics for further information.

Why is are your lights designed using LED bars?

The use of LED bars allows for optimal light distribution, heat management, versatility, and serviceability.

Why don’t you make LED panels?

While LED Panels are more economical to manufacture, their centralised light source can lead to an uneven distribution of light with hot spots and shadows being difficult to manage, leading to a decrease in efficiency. The compact nature of boards can also cause diode temperatures to exceed recommendations and without efficient heat management systems in place, can cause premature diode decay.

Why do you have removable bars in some models and not in others?

While removable bars help us to provide fixtures that are easily serviceable, they also help reduce transport costs, maintaining affordability. Our GL300W and GL420W fixtures are compact in nature, meaning ease of serviceability and transport costs would unlikely be improved in any way if they were to have removable bars.

Why do your lights not incorporate UV or far-red diodes?

At Treegers, we believe in creating Full Spectrum LED grow lights, perfectly tailored for optimal efficiency. When incorporating diodes that may or may not be beneficial to all types of plants and plant varieties, it causes a huge reduction in fixture efficiency if your plants are not receptive to these spectral changes. 

Add to this, UV diodes have a very short lifespan, are very expensive and can be dangerous if used incorrectly. 

While Far Red and UV spectrums can be of benefit in some areas of indoor cultivation, we feel that these types of lights are best added separately so as to not affect the efficiency of your main light source.
