Warranty Conditions

Introduction

Thank you for your interest in our products. These terms and conditions apply to all purchases made in our store. You can read these terms and conditions on our website (www.BonDiGro.com), they are available in our store, and they have also been filed with the Court of First Instance of Bonaire. These terms and conditions may be amended when necessary. The version that applies to you is the version in effect on the date you purchased your product.

1. Prices

The applicable price is stated on the price label. You can find this label on or near the product or on our website. It is possible that a displayed price is incorrect. If this happens, BonDiGro may decide to charge the correct price, for example when the displayed price is disproportionately low and is not part of a promotion.

Our prices exclude any applicable shipping and/or delivery costs. Separate arrangements will be made regarding these costs.

2. Payment Methods

At BonDiGro, you can pay with cash, a debit card, a credit card, or our own gift/loyalty card. Business customers may also be able to purchase on account.

3. Promotions and Special Offers

Promotions and special offers are announced in our store and/or through our website or the “BonDiGro Supermarket” Facebook page. Specific promotional terms and conditions apply to these activities. These conditions may include that promotional products cannot be exchanged or that a limited number of units may be purchased.

4. Lowest Price Guarantee for “Inventum” and “Tomado” Products

At BonDiGro, you can purchase “Inventum” and “Tomado” products at a price that is 5% lower than the price offered by our other competitors on Bonaire. This means that we closely monitor our competitors and make sure that we offer the lowest price. If one of these products is offered at a lower price by one of our competitors, we will adjust our price accordingly.

The following conditions apply to the lowest price guarantee:

  • The competitor must be registered with the Chamber of Commerce of Bonaire.
  • The lowest price guarantee is valid for one month after the purchase date.
  • The price difference must be verifiable by means of a published price or current price list.
  • This verification will be performed by BonDiGro.

  • Online retailers are excluded.
  • The following are excluded from the lowest price guarantee: special or temporary offers, bankruptcy sales, wholesale clearance sales, outlet models, and comparable discounted products.
