Unfortunately, things do not always go to plan and factors, such as traffic conditions and weather, may occasionally prevent us from achieving our targets in this regard. The timing of your delivery will be determined taking into account the number of orders and the circumstances being faced by us at that time.3.7 Inaccuracies in your details may lead to problems or delays in delivery so please ensure that you have included in your order the full delivery address details, including an accurate postcode, of the intended recipient and a valid telephone number so that your order arrives to the correct location and we can notify you if we encounter any delivery difficulties.

4 FLOWERS
4.1 All orders of flowers are subject to availability. You understand and accept that flowers are natural products and some variation in size, colour, shape and length of life is to be expected and that they might vary slightly from the specifications. In the event of any supply difficulties, you acknowledge and agree that, at our sole discretion, we may substitute an ingredient or component with one of similar value and quality without notice. 4.2 Please call us prior to ordering if you have an allergy. We cannot guarantee that any of the flowers supplied by us are free of allergens. Some flowers may be harmful or poisonous. If you require further information before submitting an order, please contact us. 4.3 In order to get the best out of your flowers, please follow any maintenance guidelines or instructions that we may give to you. 4.4 Please note that fresh flower arrangements last an average of 5 to 6 days if properly cared for and our maintenance guidelines are followed. However, some seasonal flowers may only last 3 to 4 days; this is a characteristic of the flower. Assuming that your flowers are properly maintained in accordance with our guidelines, we only guarantee our flowers for these time periods.

5.1 Prices listed on our website (or provided to you by any other method) include VAT and exclude delivery unless otherwise stated. If a delivery charge applies to your order, you will be notified during the ordering process and in the Confirmation Email that we send to you. 5.2 Whilst we will try to ensure that all prices on our website are accurate, errors may occur. We will normally verify prices as part of the order process.

Prices are also liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which you have been presented with the Confirmation Email, save in the case of an obvious pricing mistake, whereby we will notify you as soon as we can about the pricing issue. You may be able to cancel your order once we notify you in such circumstances. 5.4 Payment for our products can be made by credit or debit card through our website or over the telephone. Once your order has been confirmed, your credit or debit card will have been authorised and the amount marked for payment.
6. REFUNDS
6.1 Should you cancel your order before it has become a Started Order (as defined in Section 7.1 below), we will refund your order. 6.2 In addition, subject to what we say in Section 4.4 above, if your order is incorrect or faulty, you will be entitled to a refund or replacement product. However, if there is a problem, you must let us know within one hour of receiving the order, due to the perishable nature of our products and in order to assist us in resolving any complaints quickly. You may not be eligible for a refund if you fail to notify us within this timescale. 6.3 Where there is a query regarding a refund, we will seek to review each situation and try to find an amicable solution. However, our decision on such matters will be final.

7.1 Orders may be amended or cancelled before we start to process and prepare the order. You can cancel an order by contacting us by email or telephone. Once we have started to process and prepare the order, it will be a “Started Order” and if you cancel a Started Order, you will be charged for that order in full and not be entitled to any kind of refund. If you cancel an order that is not a Started Order, you will not be charged for the order and, if you have paid, will be entitled to a refund using the same method of payment. Please note that we will decide, at our sole discretion, whether an order is a Started Order.7.2 We may cancel an order at any time (if, for example, the product you ordered is not available, we are unable to obtain authorisation for your payment or a price or product description error is identified) and will let you know if we cancel an order. In such circumstances, you will not be charged for the order that has been cancelled by us and, if you have already paid for the order, you will be entitled to a refund using the same method that you used to pay for your order. 7.3 Nothing in these Terms of Sale shall affect any statutory rights of cancellation that you may have, but please note that any right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply to perishable goods such as flowers.
