QUOTES

All quotes are valid for a total of 30 days. Due to the busy nature of our business, we are unable to hold dates or provide tentative bookings. To confirm your quote and secure your date, we require an initial non-refundable 30% payment of the estimated total and approval of these terms + conditions.

It is your responsibility to review all event details that are provided in a quote to ensure that both yourself and Cotton and Sage are on the same page, including the date, wedding venue, and quantities of items to be delivered.

 

BOOKING CONFIRMATION

Your event booking is confirmed upon signature + resending of these terms and conditions, along with a copy of the receipt of the non-refundable 30% deposit of the estimated total. The non-refundable 30% deposit covers our work done to date and is required to secure our services for your date because it precludes us from booking another event on your event date. The deposit will be deducted from the total owing.

Signing of our Terms & Conditions is confirmation that you have proofread and approved all of the details of your event.       

 

PAYMENT TERMS

The balance owing on your event order is due 30 days prior to your event date. We cannot deliver, or you cannot collect any items without final confirmation of payment receipt. Payments can be made by direct deposit.

  

CHANGES TO YOUR QUOTE

Upon accepting this quote, you are agreeing to the items and to the total value listed. Should you wish to make changes to the items in this quote, we require a minimum of 30 days notice before your event date.

However, please note, the final quote amount cannot be reduced by more than 10% from the original agreed upon estimate. If any particular items are no longer required, the value of these items can be recreated into the form of a vase arrangement.

EVENT CANCELLATIONS, RESCHEDULED & RELOCATED EVENTS

If the client decides to cancel this agreement, it must be done in writing to hello@cottonandsage.com.au at least 30 days before the event. 

Events cancelled within 30 days of the event date remain payable in full, regardless of the circumstance. 

If you cancel your event and provide more than 30 days notice, the initial payment made remains non- refundable. Moneys paid above and beyond the initial 30% payment will be held in the form of a store credit, valid for you to use within 6 months.

The client must advise of any change to the event venue or event date in writing to hello@cottonandsage.com.au. We will do our best to accommodate new dates or location changes however in some cases we cannot guarantee our availability. If we are unavailable on your new event date, the initial 30% payment made remains non-refundable.

If we are available on your new event date, or able to accommodate your venue change, the initial payment made will be transferred to the new date as advised by you. A new contract and quote will be drawn up taking into account the changed circumstances. (For instance, wholesale product pricesfluctuate through the season, delivery and hourly wages vary depending on venue set-up requirements.)

 

PRICE VARIATIONS

We reserve the right to amend or change the pricing outlined in this quote in the event of cost changes beyond our control (e.g. wholesale flower prices).

We will make every effort to honour the original agreed price, however the current volatile nature of shipping (national/international) dramatically affects wholesale flower prices.

Any price increases will be formally advised to you in writing and a recommendation provided to the client at least 14 days prior to your event date.

 

PRODUCT SUBSTITUTION & AVAILABILITY

All dried and preserved flowers are subject to seasonal quality and availability.

Unfortunately we cannot guarantee availability, exact colours or shades of specific product. 

When working with Mother Nature, there are no guarantees as unseasonably warm, wet or cool seasons have a dramatic impact on flower and foliage availability.

Regardless of the availability of specific products, we will always adhere to the agreed colour palette and style of floral design, as outlined in the design inspiration provided by you and Cotton and Sage. If substitutions are to be made, we will ensure the highest quality ingredients are used.

Containers and vases may change due to supplier inventory and we will substitute the selected product with items of greater or equal value, in line with the overall look and feel for the event.

Refunds or discounts will not be given for minor changes in flower type or appearance.

Your guests must be advised that all hired items (e.g. vases, table arrangements) must not be removed from the venue, otherwise you will be charged the full cost of replacement of each item that is not returned to us.
