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. 4.5 If you order the Omakase subscription bouquet, you acknowledge and agree that we will choose, in our sole discretion, the flowers and individual ingredients that form part of either of those bouquets depending on the season and availability. Vases shown in our website images are for styling only and will not be included with your order. 4.6 Please note that the images of the flowers and bouquets on our website are for illustrative purposes only and demonstrate the Medium size bouquet. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your computer’s display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the flowers. Your flowers may vary slightly from those images. Please refer to the product descriptions on the website which will set out full details of the product.

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.

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.

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 does not apply to perishable goods such as flowers.
