SUBSTITUTIONS
As the seed industry does experience crop failures or seed shortage, it is our company practice to provide, when possible, substitute varieties for any that are not available. We attempt to choose a substitute that resembles the unavailable one as close as possible. If you do not want a substitute, please indicate so when you place your order and we will cancel the item instead of providing a substitute.

SHIPPING CHARGES

Please add a separate shipping/handling fee $8.95 for onion set, spring garlic bulb and asparagus orders these items ship together after the risk of frost has passed. Please add a separate shipping/handling fee $8.95 for fall garlic which ships in September. Due to increased oversize and bulk item charges, please be sure to add extra oversize shipping charges where applicable. Orders to postal codes that require air lift will have additional charges.

ORDER FUFILLMENT
As of December 1, 2022, we will accept pre-orders for the 2023 season with order fulfillment beginning mid-January in sequence of order placement. The reason we operate this way is so that we can test and package seed as close to the order fulfillment season as possible. This translates to freshly tested and packaged seed equaling high quality. Expect a length of time for processing on pre-orders and plan accordingly. We aim to begin shipping first week December orders in mid-January depending on the amount orders placed in those first couple of weeks it may take some time to work thru to January orders. For
example, an order placed mid-December may ship mid February if we receive a high volume of early orders.
If you require your order to be shipped by a specific date, please indicate the date clearly when placing your order.
Also plan accordingly for time spent in transit. Interior BC orders, such as to Whale town BC, may take 14-17 business days to ship.

CHANGES TO ORDERS
We are currently unable to make changes to orders. This allows us to streamline the order fulfillment process and focus on shipping a high volume of orders. We apologize for the inconvenience and ask that you carefully review your order before submitting.

Due to the administration of pickups we reserve the right to charge a $6.95 pickup fee. Pick up orders will be held for 7 business days after the customer is
notified that it is ready for pick-up. After 7 days, the order is considered unwanted and will be restocked for other use. No refund or credit will be granted to any garlic, onion, or gladioli pick up orders that are pre-paid but not picked up.

GROWING WARRANTY
Seeds are living things that are subject to your growing methods and conditions for their performance, therefore we cannot guarantee their results. Do not soak any seed purchased from us unless specified in the growing instructions. Poor germination as a result negates the growing warranty. If you have troubles with our seed please contact us immediately (not at the end of the season) so that we can help you with a solution. As gardeners ourselves, the germination rate and purity of the seed are of utmost importance to us. The germination rate and purity of our seed exceeds the requirements set forth in the Canada Seed Act. It is our policy to notify you if a problem exists or develops with any particular lot of seed.
The seed that we sell is meant to be grown in soil or professional media, using good farming practices. We are not a source for seeds meant for human or
animal consumption. If you are not satisfied with any of the other goods that we sell, please contact us so that we can arrange to exchange or refund it within 30 days of purchase.

LIMITED WARRANTY
We limit our warranty to the vitality and purity of seeds in the year stated on the back of the packaging, to the full amount of the purchase price. William Dam Seeds Limited will not be responsible for damages arising from any breach of condition as to the variety, quality, or productiveness of any seeds, bulbs, or any other goods we sell; nor be responsible for the crop. We realize mistakes can be made, but in no case shall William Dam Seeds Limited be liable for more than the amount actually paid for the seeds, bulbs, rootstock, and other goods. We reserve the right to limit quantities ordered.

We have no authorized dealers.

Our prices and sizes are subject to change without notice. Prices in this catalogue are in effect until October 31, 2023.
