Article 3 - Applicability

These General Conditions apply to any offer by Bloemencenter Van Roy bvba and to any agreement concluded on-line between the Entrepreneur and the consumer. Before the on-line agreement is concluded, the text of these General Conditions will be made available to the consumer.

Article 4 - Offer

If an offer has a limited period of validity or is made subject to terms and conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the offer. The offer contains a full and accurate description of the products offered, showing clearly which rights are applicable and which obligations are attached. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow the consumer a proper assessment of the offer. Prices are shown with taxes included. Service- and delivery fees (9.8€) are added to the product on the checkoutpage.

Article 5 - The Agreement

Subject to approval of the provisions in paragraph 4, the agreement is concluded at the time of acceptance of the offer by the Consumer and the fulfillment of the conditions set for that purpose. If the Consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the Entrepreneur will immediately confirm receipt of the acceptance of the offer electronically. When the purchase has been completed, the consumer will see an order confirmation directly on screen. An order confirmation is also sent to the given e-mail address registered during the order process. In case the order confirmation is not received, the consumer could contact the Customer Service. The consumer has the right to dissolve the agreement as long as the receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed.

Within legal frameworks the Entrepreneur may inform whether the Consumer is able to meet his payment obligations, as well as whether all facts and factors that matter for a responsible on-line conclusion of the agreement. On the basis of this investigation, if the Entrepreneur has solid grounds not to conclude the agreement, he will be entitled to refuse an order or application stating reasons or to attach special conditions to the execution.

The Entrepreneur will include the following information for the product or service to the Consumer, in writing or in such a manner that this can be stored by the consumer in an easily accessible manner on a sustainable information carrier: a. the contactinformation of the Entrepreneur where the Consumer can lodge any complaints; b. the conditions under which and the way in which the Consumer may use the right to revoke, or a clear notification on being refused the right to revoke.

Article 6 - Right to revoke on delivery of products

The consumer can cancel the order until one weekday before the original date of delivery. In case of the fact that the florist has already made costs for the production of the order, only restitution for a certain part will be possible. A delivered order cannot be cancelled when incomplete or incorrect delivery information is given.

Due to raised prices, availability and different seasons, the delivered bouquet might differ from the photo pictured on the website.

If the consumer makes use of his right to revoke, he will return the product including all accessories and if reasonably possible in the original state and packaging to the Entrepreneur, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the Entrepreneur. In case of refunds, the Entrepreneur will repay this amount as soon as possible, yet at the latest within 30 days.

Article 7 - Price

The prices shown on the website are not related to the photo of the product. The main photo shows the “medium” product. Prices are tax included (6% on flowers, 21% on accessories, such as vases, cards, chocolates and teddybears). Productprices and service fees vary for orders abroad. Prices can change, depending on seasons, availability, VAT rates and regions of delivery. For this reason, pictured bouquet online might appear different when delivered.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph the Entrepreneur may offer products or services of which the prices are bound to fluctuations in the financial market and on which the Entrepreneur does not have any influence on variable prices. The prices mentioned in the offer of products or services include VAT.

If a consumer has received a discount code or an e-voucher, the consumer is responsible for it. Bloemencenter Van Roy bvba is not responsible for loss, theft or damage. Discount codes and vouchers can be used in the webshop, in the order process before completing the payment. In case of problems, the consumer can always contact the customer service. Note that discounts are usually valid for a limited time only. Information regarding this can be found in the information given with the discount code or e-voucher.

All acts of deception and fraudulent orders will be reported to and handled by the local police.

Article 8 - Delivery and execution

All bouquets, arrangements and plants are handcrafted by a local florist. In all products, Bloemencenter Van Roy bvba has tried to include flowers that are readily available. However, the assortment can vary between the florists, and due to seasonal availability. If a specific flower is not available, this will be replaced by a similar flower in shape and color. The florists always aim to create a bouquet as similar as possible to the original product.

In most images, flowers are shown that are in full bloom, to represent the look of the bouquet during most of its life. When the flowers are delivered they are fresh, and therefore may include flowers that are still not in full bloom. This is not something negative, but makes sure that the floral gift can be enjoyed for as long as possible, all prices are given under each product and size respectively. Delivery fee and service fee (of 9.8 €)is added to each order.

For international orders, we have selected products specifically to each country. Bloemencenter Van Roy bvba cannot guarantee product design for international orders. Delivery fee
vary depending on the country you want to send the flowers to. All prices are presented to you before you complete your purchase. All prices on international orders are excluding VAT.

The time of delivery may vary due to different agreements with delivery companies. Delivery of your flowers usually takes place between 9.00 am and 6.00 pm on weekdays and 9.00 am to 5.00 pm on Saturdays. Bloemencenter Van Roy bvba cannot guarantee a specific time of delivery but will make every effort to meet the request, if any. For orders placed before 13:00 pm Monday-Friday and 12:00 am on Saturdays, we can guarantee that the product will be delivered on the same day to mainland and major cities. Bloemencenter Van Roy bvba cannot guarantee deliveries on Sundays and public holidays.

Funeral Sprays and wreaths are large products, and also require a large quantity of flowers. This type of product order should be placed 24 hours in advance to guarantee delivery. For funeral bouquets and condolences/sympathy products, same day delivery can only be guaranteed if ordered within the given time frame (see our same day delivery policy above). Orders placed during closing hours of our office are not handled (e.g. Saturday afternoon after 13h00).

Flower orders to other countries are delivered by a local representative in that country. Flowers can be delivered to most countries in the world with a few exceptions, such as war zones. Bloemencenter Van Roy bvba cannot guarantee delivery on orders placed within 24 hours before the delivery date. All orders are handled during business hours.

During extreme weather conditions delivery cannot be guaranteed on time and on date. If the delivery is not possible, the order will be delivered as soon as possible. In those extreme cases the 100 % satisfaction guarantee is not applicable.

The flowers will be delivered to the recipient by a local florist or a local courier company if the florist works with one. In rare cases, flowers may be delivered by bus, post man or boat, due to limited accessibility of the recipient’s address. There are no deliveries by bus/post man/boat on weekends and public holidays.

The customer takes full responsibility that the given recipient information is complete and correct. If there is a delay in the delivery due to incorrect or incomplete information (including door code) provided by the customer, the order will not be refunded.

When placing an order, the consumer can indicate whether the florist can leave the product in front of the door or deliver at the neighbors, in case of absence. However, depending on the weather conditions the florist may decide not to leave the flowers at the door, if they fear the flowers will be affected in a negative way. These delivery options are not obligatory for a florist and it is up to them in each case to decide. Bloemencenter Van Roy bvba will not be held responsible if the flowers are stolen. The florist may contact the recipient to arrange delivery, in cases where delivery information is missing, or he/she suspects there might be a door code or similar to access the premises.
