Non-payments
In the event that any payment is subsequently declined, the order will not be completed or released until alternative funding arrangements have been agreed and the payment is made in full. Subsequent completion of the order will be subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed. The Company accepts no responsibility for any loss howsoever caused or for non-delivery under these circumstances. The customer will be responsible for the payment of any additional charges which have been incurred as a result of payment failure.
Alterations to orders
Your order is very important to me. Please take the time to check your copy of the order form carefully and let me know within three days if changes are needed. It is your responsibility to advice the Company of any alterations to the original order. The Company reserves the right to a variation to the work agreed. Whilst every effort will be made to assist Customers, please note that late changes cannot always be guaranteed.
Cake component parts
From time to time certain materials for my celebration cakes and wedding cakes may become obsolete or no longer be available from my suppliers, for example, pre-manufactured items or ribbon colours. This is totally out of my control, however I will endeavour to re-design a cake to reflect as closely as possible the original design using replacement products. In all cases I will try to contact you to advise you of any such changes, however the Company reserves the right to replace these with components of equal or better quality without consultation
Collection
Your order may be collected at a prearranged time between Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm, or 9am-1pm on Saturday unless by prior agreement between you and the Company. All delivery times are subject to availability. If you have a specific delivery date and require delivery before a given time, please specify this when placing your order. I will do my best to accommodate your requirements.
It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that you have given us correct delivery information, and that someone is available to receive your cake. A signature will be required for the receipt of the order upon delivery.
If the recipient is not in, the order will be returned to the Company who will contact you to arrange an alternative delivery time for which an additional charge will be payable by the Customer. The Company accepts no responsibility for any loss or consequential loss incurred by the Customer as a result, e.g. a wedding without wedding cakes.
I am able to offer personal delivery locally. To the remainder of the UK mainland delivery is by courier. In the event that your order is delivered by courier, please check your cakes before signing for them, as once signed for any compensation for damages will have to be claimed from the courier by you.
Setting up
Should you require your cakes to be delivered, the Company will deliver and set up your cakes as agreed and will want to ensure it is displayed at its best. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have provided the Company with the set up details and arrangements made with the venue for the location and display of your cake. The Company cannot be held responsible for the location of the cake at the venue. Please ensure, therefore, that the display location is level, stable and strong enough to hold the cakes.
Please also remember that chocolate covered cakes can melt in warm conditions such as in a marquee on a hot summer’s day, or when set up in direct sunlight.
Once the cakes havw been collected or delivered, set up, and signed for, the Company is unable to accept liability for any interference with or damage to the cakes thereafter.
If cakes are to be delivered and set up by the Company, a signature will be required from your venue management confirming the cakes have been received and set up in good condition. A photograph of the cakes will be taken prior to departure by the Company to verify that the cakes have been set up and left in good condition.
