Last Updated: December 1, 2023

At CSFloat, we strive to provide exceptional plant care and landscape design services to our clients throughout Switzerland. We are committed to your satisfaction and have established this refund policy to ensure transparency regarding our refund and cancellation procedures. Please read this policy carefully to understand our practices.

1. Satisfaction Guarantee

CSFloat offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all our services. If you're not completely satisfied with the quality of our plant care, landscape design, or any other service we provide, we will work with you to address your concerns and, if necessary, provide a refund or credit at our discretion.

This guarantee applies to both one-time services and ongoing maintenance contracts.

2. Eligibility for Refunds

You may be eligible for a refund in the following circumstances:

  • Quality Issues: Services that do not meet the standards outlined in our service agreement or industry standards

  • Missed Appointments: Scheduled services that we fail to perform without proper notice
  • General Dissatisfaction: If you are unhappy with a service for any reason, we will assess the situation on a case-by-case basis

  • 7 days of service completion for quality issues or incomplete services
  • The warranty period for plant-related issues (as specified in your service agreement)
