Return and Refund Policy

Last Updated: November 2025

1. Nature of Services

Thelacriz provides professional tree care and hedge trimming services. Unlike physical products, our services cannot be "returned" once performed. However, we are committed to customer satisfaction and addressing any concerns about the quality of our work.

2. Service Satisfaction Guarantee

We guarantee that all work will be completed to professional standards by qualified arborists using industry best practices.

If you are not satisfied with the quality of our work, you must notify us in writing within 14 days of service completion.

We will investigate all complaints promptly and, where justified, will arrange to rectify any deficiencies at no additional cost.

3. Cancellation Policy

Before Work Commences:

Cancellations made more than 48 hours before the scheduled appointment: Full refund of any deposit paid.

Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the scheduled appointment: 50% cancellation fee may apply.

Cancellations made on the day of service: Full deposit forfeiture.

After Work Has Commenced:

Once work has begun, cancellation is not possible. You will be charged for all work completed up to the point of cancellation.

4. Refund Eligibility

Refunds may be considered in the following circumstances:

Service Not Performed: If we fail to provide the agreed services and do not offer to reschedule or provide an alternative solution.

Significant Service Deficiency: If our work falls substantially below professional standards and we are unable or unwilling to rectify the issues.

Overcharging: If you were charged more than the agreed quotation without prior approval for additional work.

Your name and contact details.

Date of service.

Detailed description of the issue.

Photographic evidence where applicable.

We will investigate the matter and respond within 10 business days.

If a refund is approved, it will be processed within 14 days to the original payment method.

Change of Mind: If you simply decide you no longer want the work after it has been completed.

Pre-Existing Conditions: Issues with trees or hedges that existed before our service and were outside the scope of work agreed.

Natural Decline: Trees or plants that fail to thrive due to factors beyond our control (disease, weather, soil conditions).

Unapproved Changes: If you request significant changes to the agreed scope of work during service delivery.

Third-Party Issues: Problems caused by utility companies, contractors, or other parties after our work is complete.

7. Partial Refunds

In some cases, we may offer partial refunds if:

Only part of the agreed work was deficient.

Minor issues exist that do not warrant complete service repetition.

You prefer a financial adjustment rather than remedial work.

8. Alternative Resolutions

Before issuing refunds, we typically offer:

Remedial Work: Returning to site to address any deficiencies at no additional cost.

Service Credit: Credit toward future services of equivalent value.

Discounted Rates: Reduction in charges for the service provided.

If we must reschedule due to adverse weather conditions:

No cancellation fees apply.

Deposits remain valid for rescheduled appointments.

Alternative dates will be offered as soon as weather permits.

10. Deposit Policy

Deposits are required for certain services, particularly larger projects or seasonal bookings.

Deposits are typically 25% of the total quoted price.

Deposits are refundable if we cancel the appointment or fail to provide services as agreed.

Deposits are non-refundable if you cancel within 48 hours of the scheduled appointment.

11. Payment Disputes

If you dispute a charge, do not withhold payment without first contacting us to discuss the issue.

We will work with you to resolve billing disputes fairly and promptly.

Withholding payment without valid cause may result in legal action to recover amounts owed.

12. Quality Standards

British Standards for tree work (BS 3998).

Health and Safety Authority guidelines.
