Terms & Conditions
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
Please read these terms and conditions carefully; your placement of an order and/or our receipt of payment from you is deemed to indicate that you understand and accept them.
Business trading
1. Olivia Campbell is a registered Sole Trader, trading as Olivia Joy Flowers.
Applicability
2. These terms and conditions of service are applicable to bespoke commissions.
Initial enquiry
3. After you have made an initial enquiry about our services, we will normally schedule a consultation appointment with you to discuss the specific requirements of your commission.
4. Consultations will be held either in-person or by means of video-conferencing. While we are required by HM Government or local authorities to adhere to measures associated with mitigating the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak, such as ‘social-distancing’ and the imposition of ‘Tiers’ during which time in-person meetings are either expressly disallowed or not recommended by such authorities, consultations will take place exclusively by means of video-conferencing on an agreed platform.
5. The consultation will include, but not necessarily be limited to, the style, theme and colours associated with your commission. In addition, we shall collect data from you that is necessary for us to provide an effective service (where such data has not already been collected), including but not limited to your contact details, email address, delivery address and the required date/time of delivery.
6. We take your privacy seriously. Please read our privacy policy for details of how we handle your data.
Wedding and special event commission
7. The minimum order value associated with a wedding or special event is £500, excluding orders for individual bridal bouquets.
8. The minimum lead time required for wedding commissions is two calendar months, a period which may be reduced at our discretion.
9. The minimum lead time required for special event commissions (i.e., events other than weddings) is one calendar month, a period which may be reduced at our discretion.
10. Should you wish to proceed with booking for a wedding or special event and we have agreed to take the commission, your booking will be confirmed as accepted once we are in receipt of an advance payment of £300. The advance payment will be deducted from the total cost.
11. Our ability to provide a wedding or special event commission will be dependent upon the volume of existing commissions in our order book, and we cannot guarantee being able to accept every, or any, commission. Once we have the necessary information from you at the initial enquiry stage to determine whether fulfilment of your commission is possible we shall inform you.
12. Once we are in receipt of the advance payment we shall create a bespoke price list that will include each item that you expressed an interest for inclusion during the consultation; the list will be itemised and will include the price per item along with images to illustrate the scale, style and overall look. We shall also produce a mood board that will contain examples of the flowers and foliage that we propose to use in your commission.
13. A set of images of the finished product(s) will be emailed to you prior to delivery. In addtion, if your order value is £200 or above, a set of work-in-progress photographs will be emailed to you during the creation process.
14. Provided that the minimum lead time is available to us, we shall take all reasonable endeavours to complete your commission two weeks prior to the date of your wedding or special event, and deliver the commission products in sufficient time to be set up.
15. Based on the bespoke price list, we will send you an invoice indicating the total charge for the commission which must be paid by the date indicated.
16. The total order cost may be spread across up to three separate payments, for example an invoice for wedding party flowers and an invoice for table decorations. We recommend this approach in the case that a wedding or special event venue has not been secured at the time that we agree to undertake your commission.
17. Any payment associated with bespoke commissions should be made by bank transfer using the details shown on the invoice.
18. If a commission includes a requirement for us to set up at the wedding or special event venue, a setup fee will be added to the order value.
Other commissions
19. Should you wish to proceed with booking where the value of a commission is £200 or greater, but less than £500, your booking will be confirmed as accepted once we are in receipt of a non-refundable advance payment of 20% of the order value.
20. Should you wish to proceed with booking where the value of a commission is less than £200, your booking will be confirmed as accepted once we are in receipt of the full order value.
All commissions
21. We are under no obligation to undertake work on a commission until we are in receipt of the required payment as indicated.
22. Items made for any commission will only be dispatched upon receipt of the associated payment.
23. We reserve the right to resell any completed commission items not paid for after 30 days from the invoice date.
24. The quotation we provide will be based upon the discussion held during the consultation following the initial enquiry. Any subsequent changes required by you may incur additional charges, depending upon the process or service provided and subject to our discretion. All requests for design changes must be made by email to olivia@oliviajoyflowers.co.uk.
Postponement or cancellation
25. Should you postpone your wedding or special event and move it to a future date it is your responsibility to inform us as soon as possible. We will make all reasonable endeavours to accommodate the change but cannot guarantee to do so. If we are unable to accommodate the change to a future date, we reserve the right to retain part or all of any payment(s) made up to the date on which we received the postponement notice from you. This policy does not affect your statutory rights.
26. Should you cancel your wedding or special event, we reserve the right to retain part or all of any payment(s) made up to the date on which we received the cancellation notice from you. Depending upon the amount of work we have already undertaken on your commission, we may offer you a partial refund at our discretion. This policy does not affect your statutory rights.
Faulty product
27. In the unlikely event that you find our product to be faulty, we require notification to the effect within seven days of you receiving the product and by email to olivia@oliviajoyflowers.co.uk. You must attach clear photographic evidence of any apparent fault to be enable us to determine possible cause. If we agree that the product is faulty, we shall confirm the same by return email within three days and provide the mailing label. Faulty products must be returned in the original packaging.
28. Time permitting, any product agreed by us to be faulty will be repaired or replaced. Where a faulty product is part of a commission a credit will be made against the final invoice value, otherwise a refund will be made.
Disclaimers
29. We take all reasonable endeavours to produce flowers and foliage in line with the agreed commission. However, we cannot take responsibility for matters beyond our control, such as the availability of materials, material colours etc. Where it is necessary to substitute an item because we are unable to procure the necessary materials, we shall inform you in a timely manner as far as reasonably practicable and seek to obtain your agreement to the substitution.
30. All of our flowers and foliage are handmade so the shape, size and colour may differ slightly between items of the same type.
31. Photographs of our products may not accurately represent their actual colour because of lighting and the way in which photographic sensors obtain images.
32. We will not be held responsible for any personal injury, damages or consequential losses arising from the use or misuse of our products.
33. Although we will always make all reasonable endeavours to provide the services we offer, under circumstances of force majeure or others beyond our control that affect our ability to work, such as ill-health, we will not be held negligent or responsible for failure to provide a normal service.
