locate the material you want. Also, prices can fluctuate so let us give you an up-to-date

Claims (Nursery Stock)
We take great care to see that only plants in good condition leave our nursery. We certify that
plants will be true to name and free from disease when leaving the nursery. On wholesale
purchases, we do not guarantee the future growth or performance of these plants unless
advised otherwise. Our sales people are well qualified to supply proper planting & care
instruction at any time. We do not warranty nursery stock.

Any materials that have been opened, broken, damaged or partially used cannot be returned.
After 15 days from the date of purchase, KLS will not accept any returned materials. A
restocking fee of 20% will be issued to returns of materials brought back to KLS. Any requests
for materials to be picked-up at a home or job-site, will be assessed a fee to be collected prior to the pickup.
Restocking fees will be assessed and collected prior to the pickup. Returned materials will be refunded within 45 days generally in the same manner as they were

intimated or inferred that are sold as ‘clearance’, also overstocks, final sales, closeouts or

Tagging & Visitation
Customers may reserve plant and hardscape material for use on upcoming projects. We allow
wholesale customers and their professional representatives to tag plant and hardscape
material. We will not tag material with the clients of wholesale customers unless accompanied
by the wholesale customer or landscape architect. Material selected and tagged by retail
customers with our sales people will be charged retail prices. A non-refundable deposit may be
required to hold plant material. Orders can be scheduled to be picked up or delivered on our
own fleet of trucks.
Estimations on Materials Needed
At the request of the customer, KLS will make approximate estimations on materials required
for projects. KLS will give estimations and make recommendations on materials and best
practices based on prevailing site conditions and ‘sight unseen’ explanations from the
customer. These are estimations only and KLS will not be held responsible for any portions of
materials construed as either too little or too much. Customer is responsible for the final
approval and ordering of all recommended materials and may not withhold payment of any
part of this contract due to these routine occurrences.
Any modifications or change orders to above contract, must be made and fully remitted via a
sales ticket transaction.
ALL PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.
Vehicle Ownership Indemnification
Vehicles not belonging to KLS but loaded by KLS or its associated equipment in our yards or at
other locations, are loaded at the owners or vehicle operator’s discretion. We can assume no
liability for their condition, allowance or transport ability. The Customer, its heirs and assigns
agree to indemnify and hold KLS harmless against any and all loss or claim by any person or
entity as a result of personal injury or property damage occasioned by the condition or loading
of the customer’s property.
The loading of materials into vehicles not belonging to KLS but loaded by KLS or its associated
equipment in our yards or at other locations, are subject to the use of industry accepted
standards and techniques. It is common that materials may spill out of the loader apparatus and onto vehicles stationed for loading. KLS recommends that for the safety of its customers and those associated with vehicles stationed for loading that all windows and doors remained closed while loading is occurring. Furthermore, it is common that materials will strike the vehicle during the course of loading and the owners of vehicles take precautions to protect vehicles from this routine occurence.
