Orders and Acceptance of Orders

When you make an order, you are making an offer to purchase, and such an offer is subject to acceptance by us. Your receipt (email/SMS/push notification) of an order confirmation from us does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell. We reserve the right at any time, after receiving your order, to accept or decline or cancel your order (in whole or in part) for any reason whatsoever. We may require additional verifications or information before accepting any order. In the event of a purchase, you will be required to accurately provide the recipient’s name and shipping address. You agree that, if Surprise Hours cancels all or a part of your order, your sole and exclusive remedy is either that:

(a) Surprise Hours will issue a credit to your credit/debit card or bank account in the amount charged for the canceled portion (if your account card has already been charged for the order) or

(b) Surprise Hours will not charge your credit/debit card or bank account for the canceled portion of the order.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein, any and all payments made by the above-mentioned options, either through payment gateway on the Surprise Hours website or through Surprise Hours mobile application, are subject to specific terms and conditions of such third party payment gateways.

Substitution Policy

Since flower arrangements are hand-made, there may be a slight variation from the picture shown. Occasionally, the substitution of flowers is necessary due to temporary and/or regional unavailability issues.

Every cake we offer is handcrafted and since each chef has his/her own way of baking and designing a cake, there might be slight variation in the product in terms of design and shape. Occasionally, the substitution of flavors/designs is necessary due to temporary and/or regional unavailability issues.

In such cases, our experienced team will ensure we deliver the product as close as possible to the description/photograph shown and will only substitute items of equal or higher value.

In an event where a product that you have ordered is out of stock or unavailable, we will contact you to give an option of an alternate product. If we are unable to get in touch with you, we will proceed with sending you the alternate product since we know that you are sending it to your loved one(s) on a special occasion and we would not want anything to dampen the spirit of the occasion.

Order Modification/Cancellation Policy

There are some orders which we are unable to accept and can be canceled by our side. We reserve the right to cancel any order for any reason, like under any unforeseen circumstances that may come in the way of your order that may be limitations on quantity available for purchase, error in product(s) or pricing information, or limitations of our credit department.
