We view the rental contract
as an unwelcome chore, we are sure you probably do to. The reasons for
our rental contracts are easy to understand though. We give you valuable
plants (up front) which you agree to rent from us for a minimum period
of time. We have to divide the cost of the supply of these plants into
the period that you agree to so that we can fix the monthly rental fee.
We also need to tell you what you can expect from us by way of a
service, and we tell you what we expect from you as a customer. We both
have some obligations which need to be agreed at the outset, and this is
the reason for the existence of a written contract.
That said,
you are only renting some plants, not
buying a property or agreeing
a lease, so we can see no reason why the contract should to run to more
than a few, easily understood sentences.
Our contract is simple, readable and
in 20 years we have not had any problems because of this.

Here is some additional
information to answer any further questions you may have; |
|
What happens if I want to
cancel before the end of the contract? |
|
You will be asked to pay
the rental fee up to the end of the contract
term, but not the maintenance part of the costs
(because we will no longer be doing any
maintenance). Most of our competitors make you
pay the full amount. |
|
Will I have to sign
another contract at the end of the agreed term? |
|
Not unless you want to,
usually we just continue after this point until
you ask us to stop. |
|
If the contract runs on,
how much notice is then required for cancellation. |
|
We like a minimum 14 days notice. |
|
Will my charges be
increased during the contract term? |
|
No (and probably not for
the first year or two afterwards). |
|
Can I have a discount if I
agree to a longer contract than 24 months. |
|
This is usually possible. |
|
Do I have to remember to
cancel the contract during short specific time period
in order to avoid being obliged to continue with
the plants for a further year or more? |
|
No. (Avoid any contracts
that include clauses making them difficult to
cancel, if a rep tells you not to worry about a
particular clause, make sure it is crossed out
on all copies before you sign) |
|
What if I want to change
some of the plants at the end of the contract? |
|
You can. |
|
What if I need to move to
new offices during the life of the contract? |
|
Talk to us, we want to
keep your business, so we will work with you on
this. |
|
When the contract ends,
and I decide not to renew, will you take the
plants away promptly. |
|
Yes. (This is not true of
most of our competitors) |
|
