2. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE AND CONTRACT

The General Terms and Conditions of Sale set out here govern the supply of goods sold by Flowers for Florists Ltd to the customer named on the order form provided on this Website. These Terms and Conditions do not affect your statutory rights. By making a Purchase with the Company the Customer accepts in full the Contract.  The Contract is non-cancellable by the Customer. By placing and order with us you confirm that you are over 18 of age.

2.1 Product Descriptions and Availability

While Flowers for Florists Ltd has taken reasonable precautions to try to ensure that our website up to date and error free and that all products have been fairly and accurately described, product description errors may occur. If we discover such an error after you have submitted an order to us, we will contact you before accepting your order. You may then either cancel your order or re-confirm it based on the correct information. If for whatever reason we are unable to contact you within 7 working days, we will treat your order as cancelled. We reserve the right to withdraw items from time to time. When ordering please note that:

  • The sizes shown on the Website are approximate only and may vary to the actual product;
  • While colours of our products are displayed as accurately as possible on the Website, the actual colours you see will depend on your monitor and we cannot guarantee that your monitor's display of any colour will accurately reflect the colour of the product on delivery;
  • All items are subject to availability. We try to make sure we only show items on the site if we currently have them in stock or are expecting fresh stocks shortly. From time to time items might be shown available on the site which are not available, while we try our best to keep advertised stock available we do sometimes run out of stock before the site is updated. If the item you require is no longer available we will contact you and try to offer a suitable alternative where possible.
  • When you order Fresh Flowers and Foliage, we will endeavour to supply you with the exact product you have requested. However as these items are perishable, in order to make sure we provide you with the highest quality product we or our suppliers may decide to substitute one item for another similar item. If this happens we will endeavour to alert you to this substitution but this may not always be possible.  Unless you have told us you will not accept substitutes we will always assume that you would rather have a substitute than no product.

The information contained in our sales documentation including any descriptions images or illustrations are for general guidance purposes only and do not form part of the contract between you and us or any other contract between you and us for the sale of goods.

2.2 Acceptance of your order

Please note that completion of the online checkout process does not constitute our acceptance of your order. When confirmation of order is received, this indicates only that we have received your order and does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us on these Terms and Conditions, when we dispatch your goods to you. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have in error under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. If we are unable to fulfil your order we will contact you.

If you supplied us with your email address when entering your payment details (or if you have a registered account with us), we will notify you by email as soon as possible to confirm that we have received your order.
