We will treat each order for goods as an offer by you to purchase the goods subject to these terms and conditions.
To order goods through this website you must be at least 18 years of age.
Flower Availability
Whilst we endeavour to only show items on the website that are in stock, goods are subject to availability. If we do not supply the goods for any reason we will not charge you for these goods and we will refund any money already paid for the goods. However, we will not be responsible for compensating you for any other losses which you may incur if we do not supply goods.
We will endeavour to deliver goods within the times stated, usually within 7 days, but goods are subject to availability and delay in delivery of goods is sometimes outside of our control. Any dates we specify for the delivery of the goods are approximate only and we shall not be liable for any losses, costs, damages, charges or expenses caused by any delay for delivery of the goods unless caused by our negligence.
All images, descriptive matter, specifications and advertising on our website are for the sole purpose of giving an approximate description of the goods. Whilst we endeavour to show an accurate colour image, you are advised that there may be variations in colour between the actual goods you receive and the image that you see on your monitor or TV screen. This could be caused by the settings of your system or an adjustment made during or after photographic or other electronic processes. However, if you purchase any goods that you are not happy with, you have the right to return them for a full refund within 7 days. (excluding the cost of delivery to or from our premises).
Due to the seasonal nature of Flowers we may on rare occasions substitute in other flower types of a similar colour and size. You can find out more information about this on our Availability & Substitution Policy page.
If We Cannot Accept Your Crder
If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.
Flower Delivery Surcharge
Please note that there is a small surcharge for bouquets delivered to the upper Scottish highlands and offshore flower deliveries such as Northern Ireland, the Shetland Islands and Jersey and Guernsey. This will be shown when you place your order.
Should delivery be delayed for more than 21 days you have the right to contact us and cancel your order. In this case we will refund any money paid by you for the goods.
As soon as we have delivered the goods you will be responsible for them. If you delay accepting a delivery, our responsibility for everything other than damage due to our negligence will end on the date the carrier tried to deliver the goods to you.
Delivery of Your Flowers
We deliver your flowers using different 3rd Party Mail and Parcel Carriers depending on your location. We base our delivery times on their delivery schedules. Clare Florist can not be held responsible for delays with the delivery caused by 3rd Party couriers. We will deliver your flowers to the address that you specify when placing your order. Should the address that you enter not be accurate we can not be held responsible for the delay or loss of goods.
If goods arrive damaged or are faulty you must inform us by email to info@clareflorist.co.uk within 7 days and preferably within 48 hours. Our Returns Department will arrange the return of these goods and we will replace the goods at no charge or refund any money paid for the goods.
Events Beyond Our Control
We are not responsible for delays outside our control (including acts of God, natural disasters, epidemic or pandemic, terrorist attack, action taken by a government or public authority, fire, non-performance by suppliers and so on). If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.
Flower Pricing
The price for the goods will be as stipulated at the time when you placed your order. We reserve the right to make adjustments to the price to take account of any increase in, or the imposition of, any taxes or duties, or if due to an error or omission the price published for the goods on our website is wrong. We will inform you of the correct price and give you an opportunity to cancel the order. If the goods have already been delivered, we will give you an opportunity to return the goods and receive a full refund of the price and any delivery charges you have paid for the goods.
