PRODUCT INFORMATION AND DESCRIPTION

We will take all reasonable care to ensure that all details, prices, photographic representations, and descriptions of products appearing on the website are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system.

We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the appearances, colours, textures, components or finishes of our products that appear on the website. What you see will depend on your monitor and computer equipment, we are therefore unable to guarantee that the product images are an accurate representation of the actual merchandise. The material displayed is provided by way of information only, except in relation to the description of goods available to purchase online.

We feature products that have been carefully selected for sale on our website. Once an item is sold out it will be taken off the website at the earliest opportunity and may not be available again.

Prices of products may change from time to time. Goods are subject to availability. As there is a delay between the time when your order is placed, and the time when the order is accepted, the stock position relating to items may change. If an item you have ordered becomes out of stock before we accept the order we shall notify you as soon as possible and you will not be charged for the out of stock items.

In the event of any supply difficulties or because of seasonality of products, we reserve the right to substitute with a product of equivalent or greater value and quality without notice. All photographs are accompanied by an itemised list fairly describing the contents. Colour, varieties, containers, and packaging where applicable may vary due to availability. In the event of any supply difficulties, we reserve the right to substitute without notice. On occasions, there may be minor differences between the product's appearance in the photograph and the item delivered, this may include packaging.

If an item is temporarily out of stock, we will notify you of the delay and ship as soon as it arrives. All items are subject to availability. Once an order has been processed no amendments can be made to your order.

ORDER PROCESS

All orders that you place on this website will be subject to acceptance in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

Non-acceptance of your order may be due to any one or more of the following non-exhaustive reasons:

  • The product you ordered is out of stock;
  • Our inability to obtain authorisation for your payment;
  • We have identified a pricing or product description error;
  • There is a system or procurement failure;
  • Failed customer validation checks; and
  • We require further information from you to validate/verify the order such as measurements etc.

When you place an order on our website we will email you an acknowledgement detailing the product you have ordered. This email is not an order confirmation or order acceptance from us.

Acceptance of your order and the completion of the contract between you and us will take place when your order has been dispatched. We will email you when your order has been dispatched. We reserve the right to dispatch multiple orders separately.

A gift message facility is available on certain orders and is available for your own personal and strictly non-commercial use. We do not take any responsibility for the contents of messages communicated by you to a third party. Where you use this facility, you agree that your message will not include any content that could be construed as defamatory, abusive, obscene, racist, offensive, harassing, threatening, vulgar or which could cause embarrassment or distress to any person. You agree not to impersonate any person, including but not limited to any of our employees or customers.

HOW WE COMMUNICATE WITH YOU

We provide our services and communicate with our customers only through the English language.

We use electronic mail (email) to facilitate interaction / engagement with our customers.

DELIVERY & NOTIFICATION

We will notify you of the delivery cost at the time we acknowledge your order. For bespoke or special delivery items a separate communication of delivery cost may be made. Delivery shall be charged in accordance with destination chosen and said price may be amended (after you place an order) but only to reflect a change in cost.

Risk of loss and damage of products passes to you on the date when the products are delivered to you.

Amendments to delivery details cannot be made after the order has been placed - please check all details before submitting your order.

We will make every effort to deliver goods within the estimated timescales. However, delays are occasionally inevitable due to unforeseen factors or events outside our control, for example extreme weather, a flood or fire. We shall be under no liability for any delay or failure to deliver the products within estimated timescales. Please note that your delivery may take longer during sale, holiday, or other busy periods. Although we provide an indication of typical delivery times, specific delivery times or dates cannot be guaranteed.

Where orders are placed after notified last order date/time for guaranteed delivery the Company does not accept responsibility for late delivery. Proof of delivery of gift(s) shall be good evidence of delivery of the specific gift(s) as requested by the customer and no question shall be raised as to delivery of individual items therein. If you require a proof of delivery you must allow at least 3 days from the shipping date and your request for tracking. The risk in respect of goods transfers to you the buyer upon execution of delivery docket.

You are responsible for providing a sufficient and correct daytime delivery address, local daytime telephone number and postal code. Our couriers will only call the number provided if direction is needed to the delivery address and not to arrange a delivery. If the recipient is not home to accept delivery the courier may leave a notification card where the property is accessible, they may deliver to a neighbour. Please note: Standard delivery normally takes place during normal business hours (8am-6pm) Monday - Friday. We cannot guarantee delivery times. Any additional charges/ costs incurred in the completion of delivery (redelivery) due to incomplete/insufficient original recipient information from the purchaser or the recipients being unable to accept the item in the time frame specified will be liable for all related charges and costs. This applies to national and international deliveries. If the recipient fails to make contact in good time and the goods are returned to us a charge will be made for re-delivery. The purchaser will also be charged for any items which have become unsuitable for sale and need replacing (perishable items such as fruit or flowers or Balloons).

Delivery to Post Office Box addresses. Only specific products are eligible for Post Office Box delivery. Delivery delays can occur if delivering to a Post Office Box address. Please inquire if you have any questions regarding delivery for your chosen product.

Claims for non-delivery must be made within 20 days of the shipping of goods. Any shortfall, or incomplete, or partial delivery, of which you become aware must be notified to the Company within 2 days of receipt of goods. Any delivery/product discrepancy must be notified to us within 2 days of receipt.

You may receive partial delivery of your order in two or more separate packages. In this case it is imperative to send your returns to the address on the respective package to ensure you return items to the correct dispatch destination.

We shall not be responsible should local customs authorities wish to confiscate or delay any gift or any item contained in a gift or hamper. All delivery lead times are pending customs - this means, if customs wish to hold a gift for inspection it can cause a delay and is unfortunately out of our control. We cannot be held responsible for any such delays and gift and delivery costs will still apply.

CANCELLATIONS

You may have a legal right to a "cooling off" period during which you may cancel your order for any reason without penalty for up to fourteen (14) days after the order has been received.

Your right of cancellation shall only apply in circumstances where we are legally obliged to provide such a right to you in your respective jurisdiction. The right to return (or exchange) Products under this section does not apply to Products (i) made to your specification; or (ii) which have been personalised; or (iii) which by reason of their nature cannot be returned or are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly; or (iv) where sealed Products have been supplied which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons if they become unsealed after delivery.
