3.2 For account customers payment of the price for the Goods is due within 30 days of the date of invoice, or as otherwise agreed.

3.3 All customers are set on a pro forma basis until enough history and orders is completed to accept an account set up, this is at the sellers choice. 

3.4 If payment of the price or any part thereof is not made by the due date, the Seller shall be entitled to charge interest on the outstanding amount from the due date at the rate of 3% above the base rate of HSBC Bank accruing on a daily basis until payment is made.

4. Description

4.1 All drawings, descriptive matter, colours, specifications and advertising issued by the Seller and any descriptions or illustrations contained in the Seller’s catalogues or brochures are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the goods described in them. Therefore we cannot be held responsible for this and the customer will have to refer to our returns policy. 

4.2 All our bouquets and arrangements are made to order and can take up to a few days to be made and dried ready for despatch. Occasionally due to stock levels we may have to change a component in the arrangement or bouquet compared to the photo we have shown on the website. If the change we make is very different we will make you aware once your order is placed.

4.3 Our vases are machine made on bulk therefore some defects may be visible due to the mould of the machine when in production, for example scratches, miscolouring and bubbles. This is reflected with our prices and we cannot refund or replace for these reasons. Our vases are not water tight, therefore we cannot be held responsible if the consumer decides to use them for this purpose.

5.1 The Seller will deliver the Goods ordered by the Buyer to the address for delivery specified in the Order.

5.2 Delivery will be made as soon as possible after the Buyer’s order is accepted.

If your pre-organised delivery is attempted and the customer is not there to accept the order, re-delivery will be made at the customers cost.
