Welcome to BOUQK (referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using our website and services, you agree to be bound by the following Terms & Conditions (these “Terms”). These Terms govern your use of our site and the purchase of any products. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time, and such modifications will be effective immediately upon posting on this page. Your continued use of our website and services constitutes your acceptance of any revised Terms.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand.
1. Acceptance of Orders
1.1 All orders placed through our website are subject to acceptance by BOUQK.
1.2 We reserve the right to decline or cancel an order, in whole or in part, for any reason including, but not limited to, product unavailability, errors in pricing or product descriptions, or issues identified by our fraud detection processes.
2. Product Descriptions & Seasonal Availability
2.1 Seasonal Variation
All flowers and arrangements are subject to availability and seasonal variances. Images displayed on our website and promotional materials are representative only. While every effort is made to replicate the colours and style of each featured product, we cannot guarantee exact replication of the arrangement or bouquet shown. However, the overall value, size, and style of your bouquet will be preserved.
2.2 Substitution Policy
We reserve the right to substitute flowers, foliage, or packaging materials of equal or greater value if items are unavailable or past their peak condition, without prior notice to you. Substitutions will be made to ensure your arrangement maintains a similar overall appearance.
3. Pricing & Payment
3.1 Pricing
All prices are stated in New Zealand Dollars (NZD) and include GST (Goods and Services Tax), unless otherwise indicated. We reserve the right to change prices at any time without prior notice.
3.2 Payment Methods
Payment can be made using major credit cards, debit cards, or other payment gateways offered on our website. By placing an order, you authorise us to charge your selected payment method for the total amount of your order.
4. Delivery
4.1 Delivery Methods
We use trusted third-party couriers to deliver flowers. Delivery times may vary depending on location, traffic, and courier schedules.
4.2 Delivery Address
It is your responsibility to provide the correct delivery address and contact details. We will not be held responsible for any losses or damages arising from the provision of incorrect or out-of-date delivery information.
4.3 Late Delivery
If your delivery is significantly delayed through our fault or the fault of our courier partners, we will either:
Refund your delivery fee, or
Provide you with a NZD $50 gift voucher.
No refund of the product value will be provided for late delivery, except as otherwise required under New Zealand consumer protection laws.
5. Returns, Refunds & Cancellations
5.1 Non-Returnable Nature of Flowers
Due to the perishable nature of flowers and arrangements, we do not accept returns once the product has been dispatched or delivered, as we cannot reuse or resell the flowers once they leave our premises.
5.2 Refunds
Refunds are discretionary and will be considered on a case-by-case basis in accordance with New Zealand consumer law. If there is a significant issue with your order (e.g., damaged or incorrect goods), please contact our customer service team within 24 hours of receipt. We may request photographic evidence of any damage or inaccuracies.
5.3 Cancellations
If you wish to cancel an order, please contact us immediately. If your order has not yet been prepared or dispatched, we may be able to accommodate a cancellation. However, once the order is in progress or dispatched, cancellation may not be possible.
