Product

Products are generally sold with a minimum expiry date of 6 months. Products sold for retail purposes generally have a minimum of 9 months shelf life unopened prior to expiry. The nature of these natural products therefore may change in texture or loose the fragrance after the expiry date. 

Products must be kept at below 30 degrees C, exposure to heat above this level will affect the quality of the product. Products should not be left in vehicles or they will deteriorate.

We expect our wholesalers to maintain integrity of the product and dispose of unsold stock that has passed its expiry. We encourage you to place smaller, more frequent orders to ensure freshness in the product for your customer. 

Defective products will be replaced by Herbs & Heart, see terms and conditions. It is retailers due diligence to ensure their customers have been informed on natural ingredients within product to prevent known allergic reactions.

It is the customers’ responsibility to notify Herbs & Heart if changes are needed to order prior to shipment. Failure to do so will incur a 20% restocking fee.

Exclusivity

Herbs & Heart aims to cap the number of stockists at 3 per inner-city suburbs. This is to protect the retailer’s right to offer something unique to their customers, whilst still allowing Herbs & Heart to grow as a business too. Exclusivity per suburb can be discussed with Herbs & Heart directly for rural locations. 

Stores that spend $1000+ per month are able to gain full suburb exclusivity on our entire range. This is something that we monitor closely to ensure compliance. We endeavour to be as transparent as possible with all of our retailers by publishing our full list of retailers on our website and contacting existing retailers if we if we are approached by another retailer in a nearby area.
