(i) purchase products from our Shop or Gifts on a one-off basis, whereby you make a one-off payment for those Products at the time of purchase (see clause 8 (Price and Payment)). One-off-Orders of products from our Shop will be added to your next Regular Flower Delivery and one-off Gifts will be delivered to your chosen address on the delivery date selected (see clause 6, Delivery); and

For information on cancelling and changing orders once submitted to us, please see clause 7 (Cancelling, pausing or changing your order).
5.4 Order acknowledgement and acceptance. When you (a) set up your Account for the Regular Flower Delivery subscriptions and confirm your Account set up and subscription at the end of the set up process or (b) you place your order for One-Off Orders at the end of the online checkout process, we will acknowledge it on screen, followed by an email. The on screen acknowledgement does not mean that your order has been accepted. We will only accept your order when we email you to confirm this. At this point, a legally binding contract will be in place between you and us in respect of that order.
5.5 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, Account set up and/or subscriptions, we will email you to inform you about it, and no contract between us will come into force. This might be, for example, because: we cannot authorise your payment; or there has been a mistake on the pricing or description of the Products. If we do not accept your order, if you have already paid for the Products we will refund your payment for your order by the method you used for payment within 48 hours.
6.1 Delivery Costs. The cost of delivery is not included and is charged in addition to the cost of the Products, as shown when you are placing your order.
6.2 Delivery address and instructions.
(a) Deliveries will be made to your address as registered in your Account (except as set out below).
(b) You can only subscribe to our Regular Flower Delivery Service and/or place an order for Products in our Shop if we cover your area for delivery. If we do not cover your area, you will not be able to create an Account with us. The same applies for the delivery of Gifts and we will only be able to deliver to areas we cover. The areas we deliver to will be confirmed when you set up your Account, purchase a Gift and/or amend your address. We may add or remove delivery areas as we, in our complete discretion, see fit. If we cease to service a particular area, then we will notify you in advance in accordance with clause 6.4 (Changes to delivery areas and days we cover).
(c) You can add reasonable delivery instructions to your Account (for example, “leave on the doorstep”). The address and any other information you provide to us must be accurate and complete. We will not be responsible for supplying any Products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the correct or complete information or not giving us the deliver information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
(d) We may make deliveries at any time during the day. If you or your Gift recipient is not going to be in to accept the delivery, please specify delivery instructions in your Account to enable us to deliver the flowers on your specified delivery day. If you are going to be away (for example, if you are going on holiday), you must suspend/pause your order (see clause 7 Cancelling, pausing or changing your order). We will not be responsible for any loss or damage to your delivery as a result of your chosen place of delivery (provided that we have delivered as reasonably specified in your Account) or if no one is available at your address at the time of delivery.
(e) If you or your Gift recipient change address, you must update the delivery details in your Account for you or your Gift recipient, as applicable, or let us know using one of the methods set out in clause 2 (How to contact us). Changing your or your Gift recipient’s address may result in a change to the available delivery days for the area of the new address or a cancellation of your active orders from the date of the address change if we do not deliver to the area of your or your Gift recipient’s new address. If there is a change in the delivery day, this will be shown in the updated delivery schedule calendar on the page where you update the address. If for any reason we do not deliver to the area of your or Your Gift recipient’s new address, we will notify you of this at the time of changing your address and you will need to contact us to cancel your Account and existing orders (please also see clause 7 (Cancelling, pausing or changing you order).
6.3 Delivery days. We will notify you of the assigned delivery day (which will be on a weekday, Monday to Friday) for your subscription when you first subscribe to the Regular Flower Delivery Service. The delivery days will vary in different geographical areas we cover. When selecting Products in our Shop, these will be added to your next scheduled Regular Flower Delivery. For Gifts, you can select the relevant delivery day of the week (Monday to Friday) as we have available in the relevant delivery area and you will be notified of the assigned delivery day as with our Regular Flower Delivery Service. Note that if delivery falls on a UK public holiday, we may not deliver on that day but your flowers will be delivered on the next day which is not a public holiday in the UK. Should this be the case, we will notify you in advance.
6.4 Changes to the delivery areas and days we cover. We reserve the right to change delivery days or to cease delivering in your area or the area in which Gifts subscriptions are provided. We will give you at least 14 days’ notice of any changes by sending you an email with details of the change, except this notice period may be shorter where clause 6.6 below applies.
(a) If we cease delivering in your area this contract will automatically end at the expiry of the above-mentioned notice. We will refund to you any sums paid by you in relation to orders placed before the end of the contract, which will not be delivered to you after the contract ends.
(b) If we cease delivering in your Gift recipient’s area the order for that Gift recipient will automatically end at the expiry of the above mentioned notice. We will refund to you any sums paid by you for Gifts which will not be delivered after the order expires.
(c) If we change the weekday on which we deliver in your area and/or your Gift recipient’s areas and this affects your active orders:
(1) delivery days for your active orders will be changed to the new weekday at the end of the 14 days’ notice period; and
(2) if you and/or your Gift recipient choose not to accept the new delivery day, you can cancel your affected orders as described in clause 7.1 (Cancelling or making changes).
6.5 If we cannot supply the Products you paid for. If we cannot supply you with the Products that you ordered and already paid for or we discontinue a Product and that change affects your active order we will let you know in advance and will let you know if we intend to deliver an unavailable product late or otherwise agree with you (i) on whether you want to receive a substitute Product, if available, or (ii) if you want to cancel the Product order and receive a refund for that Product.
We will refund you as soon as possible and for any discontinued Product within 14 days of the cancellation. Please see clause 7 (Cancelling, pausing or changing your order) for further information on cancelling orders, pausing orders and refunds.
6.6 Delays and events outside our control. If our supply of the Products is delayed or prevented by an event outside our control, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take reasonable steps to minimise the effect of the delay or event preventing delivery. Provided we notify you of such delay or non delivery, we will not be liable for delays or failure to deliver caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay or we inform you that we are not able (in our discretion) to work around the event preventing delivery, then either we or you may end the contract upon written notice and you will receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received. Events outside our control include (but are not limited to) bad weather, fire, flood, hostilities and civil disturbance that may affect the safety of our drivers or delivery of our Products, acts of government or other authorities and labour disputes.
6.7 Late delivery. We will use our best endeavours to deliver on the specified delivery date but if for any reason we do not deliver your Products on the agreed day, we will deliver the missed order to you the next working day or if the next day is a weekend day or UK public holiday, then we will provide you with a refund. However, if you do not want us to redeliver on the next working day, please contact us to cancel that redelivery or set a different delivery date. If you prefer to treat the contract as at an end and receive a refund, please let us know using one of the contact methods set out in clause 2 (How to contact us). Please see clause 7 (Cancelling, Pausing or changing your order) for information on cancelling orders. This doesn’t affect your statutory rights.
6.8 Notifying us of no delivery. You must notify us if you believe we have not delivered your Products, as soon as possible (in any event within 3 days of the scheduled delivery), so we can rectify matters. In the event that we have failed to deliver the Products, then we will arrange redelivery or a refund at your request.
6.9 Completion of delivery. Delivery of the Products will take place when our delivery provider delivers them to the address that you gave to us and as per your reasonable delivery instructions (if provided) or otherwise left on your doorstep.
6.10 Responsibility for the Products. We are responsible for the Products until they are delivered to you. You are responsible for the Products once delivery has taken place (as set out in clause 6.9 above). In other words, the risk in the Products passes to you when they are delivered to you.
7.1 Cancelling or making changes. You can cancel or make changes to a One-off Order, a delivery of your Regular Flower Delivery or Gift delivery at any time up to 12 noon, 2 days prior to the scheduled delivery day of your next Regular Flower Delivery, or for Gifts, the scheduled delivery day for your Gift, as applicable. You can view details of your subscription to the Regular Flower Delivery service, One-off orders and Gift orders, make changes to your subscription and orders, and skip or pause a delivery within your Account as further described in this clause 7 . To cancel your subscription to the Regular Flower Delivery Service subscription or a Gift subscription, you must contact us. If you do not let us know by the required cut off period noted above, you will still be charged for and provided with your scheduled order delivery, Regular Flower Delivery, or Gift delivery.
7.2 Skip or pause Regular Flower Deliveries. If you wish to skip or pause a delivery of a Regular Flower Delivery or a Gift subscription for any reason you can temporarily suspend/pause (up to a maximum of six weeks) your Regular Flower Delivery or a Gift subscription within your Account any time up to 12 noon, 2 days day prior to the scheduled delivery day. Your Regular Flower Delivery or Gift Subscription will get automatically reactivated at the end of the suspension period set by you. When your Regular Flower Delivery or Gift subscription is paused in accordance with this clause 7.2, we will not charge you in respect of Products not delivered to you within the suspension period. If you do not let us know by the required cut off period noted above, you will still be charged for and provided with your scheduled Regular Flower Delivery or Gift subscription.
7.3 Effect of cancelling or making changes. If, in accordance with clause 7.1 you:
(a) cancel your Regular Flower Delivery subscription, Gift subscription or One-Off order, it will end that subscription, Gift or order, and all payments received from you in respect of supplies under that order that will not be made after the date of the cancellation will be credited to your Account; or
(b) make a change to your Regular Flower Delivery, Gift subscription or One-Off order then:
(1) any payments which you already made in respect of any cancelled items will be credited to your Account; and
(2) the prices charged for any new items added by you to your existing order will be the prices applicable to the Products at the time when you submit changes to your original order, as displayed in our Shop or in your Account dashboard, as applicable, which may be higher or lower than the prices that applied to your original order.
In each case, we will send you an email confirming the cancellations or changes you make to your order and all refunds under clause 7.3 will be automatically credited to your payment card that you provided to us when setting up your Account (or as otherwise updated) (unless you expressly agree otherwise): without undue delay, and no later than within seven days after we receive your request. In any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.
7.4 Your statutory cancellation rights.
(a) Because flowers are perishable and we cannot resell them elsewhere you may not cancel the contract after 12 noon, 2 days before your delivery. However in respect of any non-perishable items purchased from our Shop, then you have the right to change your mind and receive a refund as long as you notify us in writing within the 14 days of the date of delivery. As long as you send the product back (at your cost) to us within 14 days following the expiry of the 14 day cancellation period, we will give you a full refund without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day we received the cancelled product(s) back from you.
(b) We may make a deduction from the reimbursement (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the Products caused by unnecessary handling by you in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. You must keep the Products in your possession, take reasonable care of them (including ensuring that you follow any storage instructions provided on the product packaging) and not use them before we collect them from you.
8.1 Product prices. The price of your Regular Flower Delivery Service will be indicated on the page when you sign up to the service. The price of the Gifts and Products in our Shop will be indicated on the order pages when you place your order. The price for the Regular Flower Delivery Services, Gifts and Products includes VAT at the applicable rate but excludes delivery which is chargeable in addition as per clause 6.1 (Delivery Costs). Please see clause 7.3(b) (Effect of cancelling or making changes) for the effect of making changes to your existing orders on the price you pay for the Products.
8.2 Payment. We accept the following methods of payment: credit cards and debit cards as listed in your Account (and, as applicable, our discount codes), and payment is taken as detailed below:
(a) recurring payments for the Regular Flower Delivery Service must be made using a recurring card payment facility. In order to set this up, you will need to enter your payment card details on the payment section when setting up your Account and subscribing to our Regular Flower Delivery Service during the ordering process (see clause 5.1). Once you sign up to the Regular Flower Delivery Service, we will send you an email confirming details of the order, including the weekly amount to be charged to your card and the day of the week on which we will charge that amount. You can also view this information and change your payment card details, at any time, in your Account. Payment for each delivery will be taken after the relevant delivery cancellation or pausing cut off time but prior to the day of delivery. Please see clauses 7.1 (Cancelling or making changes) and 7.2 (Skip or pause Regular Flower Delivery) for the delivery cancellation or pausing cut off time.
(b) For any One-Off Orders of Gifts and Products in our Shop, payment will be taken in full at the time of order. Your credit card or debit card will be charged when you place your order.
For information on cancelling or changing your orders and refunds following such changes, please see clause 7 (Cancelling, pausing or changing your order).
8.3 Discount codes. We may from time to time make available a discount code to be used by new customers only to reduce the total price new customers must pay to us for your initial order. To benefit from your discount code, you need to apply it during the Account set up process before completing your subscription order for the Regular Flower Deliveries. These discount codes are valid for 3 months only and they can only be used once per household/customer/address. We may also provide you with codes for our ‘Refer A Friend’ program within your Account or in your Regular Flower Delivery box. Please see clause 10 for the terms which apply to the ‘Refer A Friend’ program and codes.
8.4 Payment failures. If you place an order with us:
(a) We may automatically update your payment card details. We may use a secure payment card update service provided by Visa and Mastercard in order to minimise the risk of a failed payment due to expired, lost, stolen, re- issued or out-of-date payment details. This service will automatically update your payment card details to prevent your recurring payment to us from failing. If we are unable to update your payment card details using this service, we will send you an email asking you to update your payment card details on your Account on our Website.
(b) We may suspend your order if your payment fails. We may suspend your Regular Flower Deliveries, Gift subscriptions and/or active orders if your payment fails three consecutive times; we are refused authority to charge your payment card to fulfil your Regular Flower Deliveries, Gift subscriptions and/or order; and/or we have reasonable grounds to believe that a scheduled payment will be refused. If we suspend your active order(s), Gift subscriptions and/or Regular Flower Deliveries in these circumstances, we will not deliver any Regular Flower Delivers, Gift subscriptions or orders to you during the period of suspension and will not be liable to you for late or failed delivery.
(c) You must compensate our costs if your payment fails. It is your responsibility to ensure that your payment card details are correct and up-to-date and that you have sufficient funds to cover payments under your orders. If, as a result of you breaking this condition, we are unable to collect a payment from you under an order you have placed with us, you must compensate us for the net costs we will incur. (d) Termination for failure to pay. We may also terminate your contract with us if you fail to pay, please see clause 12 (Our rights to end the Contract).
8.5 We may increase our prices. We may vary the prices of our Products from time to time. If a proposed increase in price affects your existing Regular Flower Deliveries, we will give you at least 7 days’ notice by sending you an email with details of the change. The new price will come into effect at the end of that 7 days’ period. If you choose not to accept the price increase, you can cancel your order as described in clause 7.1 (Cancelling. Pausing or making changes to your order).
8.6 If you receive the Products before you pay. If your payment is not received by us and you have already received the Products, we will follow the process in clause 8.4 (payment failures).
8.7 Security of electronic payments. We will do all that we reasonably can to ensure that all of the information you give us when paying for the Products is secure by using an encrypted secure payment mechanism. However, in the absence of negligence on our part, any failure by us to comply with this contract or our Privacy Notice or breach by us of our duties under applicable laws, we will not be legally responsible to you for any loss that you may suffer if a third party gains unauthorised access to any information that you give us. To avoid a third party gaining unauthorised access to any information that you provide to us, we recommend that you install appropriate anti-virus software on your computer or mobile device.
9.1 Your consumer rights. As a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with this contract and nothing in these Terms affects your legal rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. You may also have other rights in law. Below is a summary of your key legal rights which are subject to certain exceptions. For more detailed information, please visit the Citizens Advice website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described on our website, be fit for purpose and be of satisfactory quality (except where we have specifically brought a flaw to your attention before the contract is made – we refer you to clause 9.2 (Images)).
9.2 Images. The images of the Products are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device's display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the Products. Your Product may vary slightly from those images. The packaging of the Products may also be different from that shown on our Website or in our Shop.
9.3 Problems with a Product. If you have any questions or complaints about the Products, please contact us (see clause 2 How to contact us). This includes, if you wish to exercise your legal rights when a Product does not comply with the Consumer Rights Act and want:
(a) us to replace the Product;
(b) a price reduction; or
(c) to reject the Product and get a refund.
If you wish to exercise the above rights, we may ask you to provide evidence that the Product does not meet the legal requirements (see clause 9.1 (Your statutory rights)).
9.4 Notifying us when exercising your rights. If you inform us that you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject Products (see clause 9.3 above) that do not meet the legal requirements (see clause 9.1 (Your statutory rights)), you must make them available for collection by us on the next delivery day in your area, as instructed by us, unless we inform you that it is not necessary on the occasion.
9.5 Fair wear and tear. Your rights under this clause 9 do not apply to faults which result from fair wear and tear.
9.6 Rejected Product Refunds.
(a) When you exercise your right to reject the Products as they do not comply with the Consumer Rights Act and get a refund, and we agree that you are entitled to a refund, we will reimburse the total price you paid for the rejected Products. When you exercise your right to price reduction, we will refund to you the difference between the price you paid for the Products and the reduced price.
(b) Where any Product is reasonably expected to last more than six months, and you reject that Product after the first six months after delivery, we may reduce the refund amount by a deduction for use, to take account of the use you have had of the Product in the period since they were delivered.
(c) We will make the reimbursement using the same method of payment you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than within 14 days beginning with the day on which we agree that you are entitled to a refund.
10.1 Our referral programs. We provide a referral program after you sign up to our Regular Flower Delivery Service where we give you 25% off your next four deliveries when you recommend us to your friend who successfully subscribes to our Regular Flower Delivery Service. Your friend may be offered discounts or vouchers or other incentives at our discretion once they have subscribed to our Regular Flower Delivery Service. We may from time to time also add other refer a friend code vouchers in the flower delivery box you receive.

Your 25% off your next four deliveries Voucher will be applied to your Account for you to use in our Shop alongside a flower delivery once your referred friend has successfully subscribed to Our Regular Flower Delivery Service.

13.2 Excluded Liability. Subject to clause 13.1 above, we are not legally responsible for:
(a) losses that:
(1) were not foreseeable to you and us when the contract was formed (for example, it was not obvious that it would happen and nothing you said to use before we accepted your order meant we should have expected it); or
(2) were not caused by any breach on our part;
(3) was caused by a delaying event outside of our control (as long as we have taken steps set out in the section 6.6 (Delays and events outside our control); or
(4) it would have been reasonable to expect you to limit (for example, by taking reasonable action to avoid those losses).
(b) business losses (including, for example, loss of business, business interruption, loss of contracts and loss of profit); and
(c) losses to non-consumers (if for example you made a purchase for a business you own or work for).

16.1 Nobody else has any rights under this contract (except someone you pass your guarantee on to). This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
16.2 We may transfer our rights and obligations under a contract entered with you under these Terms to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms.
16.3 If a court finds part of these Terms illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
16.4 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
16.5 We will try to resolve any disputes with you quickly and efficiently. If you are unhappy with the Products, our service to you, or any other matter, please contact us as soon as possible using one of the contact methods set out in clause 2 (How to contact us). If you and we cannot resolve a dispute using our internal complaint handling procedure, we will let you know that we cannot settle the dispute with you; and give you certain information required by law about resolving disputes through alternative dispute resolution, which is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court.
16.6 These Terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Products in the English courts. However this provision will not have the effect of depriving you of the protection afforded to you by mandatory provisions of the applicable laws regulating the choice of the governing law and/or jurisdiction in consumer contracts. For example, if you live in Scotland, you can bring legal proceedings in either the Scottish or the English courts and if you live in Northern Ireland, you can bring legal proceedings in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
