E-Commerce Terms & Conditions for Flowers Watford

Terms & Conditions for Online Flower Delivery in Watford

Welcome to Flowers Watford’s online store. These Terms & Conditions ('Terms') govern your use of our website and the purchase, delivery, and related services of flowers and associated products in Watford and the surrounding areas. Please read these conditions carefully before placing an order. By using this website or placing an order, you accept these Terms in full.

1. Applicability of Terms

These Terms apply to all purchases made through Flowers Watford’s e-commerce platform by individual customers in Watford and neighbouring locations. However, by completing any transaction on this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms, regardless of your location, wherever within our standard delivery zones.

2. Order Process

2.1 Placing Orders: Orders can be placed online through our website at any time. Our website offers a range of floral products and arrangements available for delivery in Watford and its surroundings. After selecting the desired items and providing the necessary delivery details, you may proceed to checkout to complete your purchase.

2.2 Order Confirmation: Once your order is placed, you will receive an automated order confirmation containing details of your selected products, delivery address, and estimated delivery date. This confirmation indicates our receipt of your order but does not signify acceptance. Final acceptance of your order will occur once full payment has cleared and our team has confirmed fulfilment feasibility (including, for example, product availability or delivery restrictions).

2.3 Substitution Policy: Flowers are a natural and seasonal product. We strive to replicate your chosen arrangements as closely as possible; however, variations may occasionally occur based on daily stock, seasonal availability, or supplier limitations. If a significant change is necessary, we will endeavour to contact you and offer alternatives of equal or greater value to ensure the timely delivery of your order.

2.4 Order Accuracy: Customers are responsible for reviewing their order details for correctness, including recipient information, address, delivery instructions, and selected products before final confirmation. Any errors may result in delivery delays or misdirection for which we cannot accept responsibility.

3. Payments

3.1 Accepted Payment Methods: Payment is required at the time of ordering. We accept a range of UK-approved payment methods, including major credit and debit cards, and other methods as made available on our website from time to time. All payments are processed securely using industry-standard encryption protocols.

3.2 Pricing: All prices displayed are in British Pounds Sterling and include VAT where applicable. Prices may be changed at any time prior to order confirmation at our sole discretion. Confirmed orders retain the price shown at the time of purchase, except in instances of obvious pricing errors.

3.3 Payment Security: Your card information is protected throughout the payment process, and we do not retain or have access to your full card data. Third-party payment processors are used to handle all transactions.

4. Delivery

4.1 Delivery Area: Our online flower delivery service covers Watford and specified surrounding areas only. Please check our delivery page for current coverage before placing your order. If an address falls outside our standard delivery zones, we may contact you to arrange an alternative or to process a cancellation.

4.2 Delivery Times: Deliveries are generally made between our stated working hours. While we make every reasonable effort to deliver on the requested date, we cannot guarantee exact delivery times, especially during peak periods such as Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, or Christmas.

4.3 Missed Deliveries: If the recipient is unavailable, our delivery partner may leave the items with a neighbour, at a safe location, or attempt re-delivery as deemed appropriate, according to your instructions where provided. We are not liable for failed deliveries where incomplete or incorrect recipient information is supplied.

4.4 Force Majeure: Deliveries may be delayed or cancelled in the event of circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to adverse weather, road closures, accidents, or government restrictions. We will inform affected customers as soon as possible, offering a revised delivery date or full refund as appropriate.

5. Cancellations & Amendments

5.1 Cancellations by the Customer: You may cancel your flower delivery order for a full refund provided you do so no later than 24 hours before the scheduled delivery date. After this window, your order may be underway and cancellation or amendment may not be possible. Please consult our cancellation procedures on the website for up-to-date information.

5.2 Cancellations by Flowers Watford: On rare occasions, we may need to cancel your order due to stock shortages, technical errors, or inability to deliver within the agreed area or timeframe. In such instances, we will contact you promptly and issue a full refund.

5.3 Amendments: Order amendments may be possible if requested more than 24 hours before delivery, and are subject to stock and scheduling constraints. We encourage you to contact us as soon as possible if you wish to make any changes.

6. Returns, Refunds & Complaints

6.1 Perishable Nature: Flowers and similar products are classed as perishable goods and are not subject to the same return rights as non-perishable consumer goods under UK law. You may not return floral products simply for a change of mind.

6.2 Damaged or Incorrect Products: If your delivery arrives damaged, incomplete, or not as ordered, please inform us within 24 hours of receipt (providing photographic evidence where possible) so we can address your concern appropriately. Depending on the nature of the issue, we may arrange a replacement or a refund at our discretion.

6.3 Refund Policy: Refunds are generally processed within 7 working days from agreement, back to the original payment method. Your statutory rights are not affected.

6.4 Complaints Procedure: Customer satisfaction is paramount. Should you have any complaints about our service, products, or delivery, please reach out to us at the earliest opportunity. We will acknowledge your complaint within two working days and provide a resolution as quickly as possible.

7. Liability

7.1 General Limitation of Liability: To the full extent permitted by English law, our total liability to you in respect of all losses (excluding death or personal injury caused by our negligence) arising under or in connection with your order shall not exceed the value of your purchase.

7.2 Exclusions: We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including but not limited to lost profits, loss of reputation, or third-party claims arising from the use or non-delivery of our products.

7.3 Liability for Delays: While every effort is made to meet delivery commitments, we shall not be liable for delays or failure to deliver due to circumstances outside our control as described in 'Force Majeure' above.

11. Variations and Updates
