​

5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

All content on our website, including text, graphics, logos, photographs, course and workshop materials, and the name THE SEED LOCAL, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You may view and use this content for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, republish, sell, or use it for any other purpose without our written permission.

 

6. PURCHASES, WORKSHOPS, AND COACHING

We sell workshops, events, and garden coaching plans through our website. When you complete a purchase or booking, you agree to pay the listed price, including any applicable taxes and fees. Prices and availability may change at any time before you complete a purchase.

Descriptions of what each workshop, event, or coaching plan includes are provided at the time of purchase. Garden coaching plans are a planning service. The scope of what is delivered is described at the point of sale. Results from any garden plan or workshop depend on many factors outside our control, including weather, soil, pests, and how the plan is carried out. We do not guarantee specific gardening outcomes.

 

7. CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS

We understand that plans change, and we aim to be fair and flexible.

Workshops and events: If you need to cancel, contact us at hello@theseedlocal.com. If you cancel at least [7] days before the event, you may choose a full refund or a credit toward a future event. If you cancel within [7] days of the event, we are not able to offer a refund, but we will do our best to offer a credit toward a future event or the option to transfer your spot to someone else. Because many of our events involve food, catering, and reserved space booked in advance, late cancellations carry costs we cannot recover.

If we cancel or reschedule an event, you will be offered a full refund or a credit toward a future event.

Coaching plans: Because coaching plans involve custom work prepared for you, refunds are handled case by case. If you have not yet received your plan, contact us at hello@theseedlocal.com and we will work with you on a refund or credit. Once your plan has been delivered, it is generally non-refundable.

All refunds are issued to the original method of payment.

 

8. EDUCATIONAL CONTENT AND NO PROFESSIONAL ADVICE

The gardening information, guides, and coaching we provide are for general educational purposes. They are not a substitute for professional advice where such advice is appropriate, including advice from a licensed arborist, horticulturist, or other specialist. You are responsible for how you apply the information we share, including any decisions about plants, soil amendments, tools, or products.

Some of our events involve food. If you attend an event, you are responsible for informing us of any allergies or dietary restrictions in advance. We cannot guarantee that food served at our events is free of any particular allergen.

 

9.ASSUMPTION OF RISK FOR IN-PERSON EVENTS

Our workshops and events may take place in gardens, kitchens, outdoor spaces, or other venues, and may involve physical activity, tools, plants, and food.
