Use of our website

Your use of our website is governed by our terms of website use.

Your information

Any personal information that you provide to us will be dealt with in line with our privacy policy, which explains what personal information we collect from you, how and why we collect, store, use and share such information, your rights in relation to your personal information and how to contact us and supervisory authorities if you have a query or complaint about the use of your personal information.

At Blooming Artificial we love being able to interact with and chat to you through social media. However, we can’t control those social media platforms or how you set your profiles on them. Please check and set your privacy settings so that you understand and are comfortable with how your personal information on those platforms will be used.

Placing an order

By placing an order via our website (www.bloomingartificial.co.uk) you are offering to purchase a product on and subject to the following terms and conditions. All orders are subject to availability and confirmation of the order price.

Please read and check your order carefully before submitting it. If you need to correct any errors you can do so before submitting it.

When you place an order at the end of the check-out process, we will send you an acknowledgement e-mail confirming receipt of your order. This email is an order acknowledgement and does not mean that we accept your order. We may reject your order for the following reasons:

• the goods are out of stock or unavailable

• we cannot authorise your payment

• there has been a mistake on the pricing or description of the goods

Don’t worry, if there’s an issue with an order, we’ll get in touch with you.

A contract between us for the purchase of the goods will be formed when your payment has been approved, the prices have been verified, and the order has been processed and dispatched. A second email will be sent confirming these arrangements and you will not have ownership of the goods until they have been dispatched.

In order to contract with Blooming Artificial you must be over 16 years of age. We retain the right to refuse any request made by you.

Suitability

It is your responsibility to:

• Satisfy yourself that the goods are suitable for their intended use, in particular keeping an eye to our guidance on suitability for outdoor use.

• Consider, if using in public buildings and spaces, if there is any restrictions due to fire regulations.

• Ensure that products containing small parts such as berries are kept out of reach of young children and potentially pets.

Product descriptions

All written, graphic or photographic information, particularly related to size and weight, is illustrative, approximate and does not form part of the terms and conditions of sale. Information may be updated from time to time without notice.

Pricing & availability

Whilst we try and ensure that all details, descriptions and prices which appear on this website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of any goods which you have ordered we will inform you of this as soon as possible and cancel your order. We will then update our website with the correct price as soon as possible so the order can be replaced if needed. If you cancel the order and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund.

The website may contain typographical errors or other errors or inaccuracies and may not be complete or current. We therefore reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update information at any time without prior notice. We reserve the right to refuse to fulfil any orders that you may place based on information on the website that may contain errors or inaccuracies, including, without limitation, errors, inaccuracies or out-of-date information regarding pricing, shipping, payment terms, or return policies.

Quotations

All quotations are valid for 30 days from the date of issue. The Company reserves the right to withdraw or amend quotations in the event of error or material change in costs.

Payment

Payment can be made via our secure checkout pages using your credit or debit card (details of accepted credit or debit cards are provided during the checkout process). You can also pay using PayPal. Card charges will appear on your statement as "Blooming Artificial".

When placing an order you undertake that all details you provide to us are true and accurate, that you are an authorised user of the credit or debit card, bank account or PayPal account used to place your order and that there are sufficient funds to cover the cost of the goods.

Credit accounts

Registered businesses who expect to place frequent orders can apply for a credit account by contacting our Customer Service team.

If a credit account has been approved, and unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment terms are 30 days from date of invoice. The company reserves the right to refer any unpaid invoice beyond this point to a professional debt collection agency who will add a surcharge of 15% of the invoice total plus VAT to cover the collection costs incurred. This surcharge together with all other charges and legal fees incurred will be the responsibility of the customer and will be legally enforceable.

Delivery

We use trusted third party logistics providers to deliver our goods. If you want to see your delivery options, please visit our delivery information page before you place your order.

Dispatch times may vary according to availability and any guarantees or representations made as to delivery times are subject to any delays resulting from postal delays or other occurrences beyond our control for which we will not be responsible.

Delivery of the goods will occur when we deliver them to the address you provide us with when you make your order. You are responsible for the goods when delivery has taken place.

If you are a private buyer we advise against deliveries to hotels or third party couriers. Any orders made with such delivery instructions are entirely at your own risk following delivery by our logistics provider.

We recommend you refrain from scheduling work or hiring tradesmen until you have received the goods.

Loss or damage in transit

The Customer should endeavour to notify the Company by phone or writing within 24 hours of delivery to note any damage. Damages reported within 30 days of delivery will be exchanged or refunded. After this period a partial refund may be offered.

If the goods are not delivered or lost in transit, the Customer should notify the Company within 10 days of dispatch, or sooner if tracking information suggests an issue.

Returns

We offer a hassle-free returns policy. See full details of our returns policy here.

The Customer is responsible for both the cost of returning items and ensuring it arrives in a saleable condition. Made to order items, such as hedging, cannot be returned unless faulty.

Nothing in this contract affects your legal rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (also known as ‘statutory rights’). You may also have other rights in law.

Please contact us, if you want:

• us to replace the goods;

• a price reduction; or

• to reject the goods and get a refund.

Refunds

Orders cancelled prior to dispatch are refunded within one working day. Returns are refunded within 14 days of receipt. All returned goods will be inspected for use and / or damage before refunds are processed. We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is considered to be the result of unnecessary handling by you.

If the whole order is returned, we will also refund the basic cost of outbound carriage. If the Customer paid for an upgraded service, we will only refund the basic fee.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as 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.

Warranty

Unless stated otherwise on the product page on the website we warrant our products to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 months from date of purchase.

If the product fails to conform to this warranty we will, at our option, either replace the item or refund the original purchase price.

This will be subject to us being satisfied that the defect has not been caused by misuse, neglect, improper installation, repair, alteration or accident. An example of this would be using a product outdoors that we are not describing on our website as being suitable for outdoor use.

Law

These terms and our dealings with you are subject to English law and the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
