Terms and Conditions

Effective Date
August 5, 2026


1. INTRODUCTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS


These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Flowers Are Forever website and your purchase of products and services offered through the website. The website and related services are operated by Flowers Are Forever, a business located at Legmeerdijk 313, 1431 GB Aalsmeer, The Netherlands (“Flowers Are Forever,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).


By accessing or using the website, placing an order, or otherwise using our services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the website or place an order.


These Terms apply specifically to purchases made through our United States-facing website and to customers in the United States. We reserve the right to update these Terms as described below.


2. ABOUT FLOWERS ARE FOREVER


Flowers Are Forever sells preserved floral products and related arrangements. Our products are prepared and shipped from The Netherlands to customers in the United States.


Our products are preserved rather than fresh or living flowers. Because natural flowers and botanical materials have inherent variations, individual products may differ somewhat in color, shape, size, texture, or composition from photographs or descriptions shown online.


3. ELIGIBILITY AND USE OF THE WEBSITE


You may use the website only if you are legally capable of entering into a binding agreement under applicable law. If a minor places an order, the minor must have the permission of a parent or legal guardian, and the parent or legal guardian is responsible for the order and the minor’s use of the website.


You agree to provide accurate and complete information when placing an order and to keep information associated with your order accurate and current.


4. PRODUCTS, NATURAL VARIATIONS, AND SUBSTITUTIONS


We make reasonable efforts to display our products and colors accurately. However, images may vary depending on lighting, photography, display settings, and natural characteristics of the botanical materials.


Because our products contain natural preserved flowers and materials, no two arrangements are necessarily identical. Specific flowers, colors, sizes, shapes, or materials may vary.


If a particular flower, color, material, or component is unavailable or unsuitable, we may substitute it with a comparable flower, material, or component of similar quality and overall appearance. We may make such substitutions without prior approval when reasonably necessary to fulfill an order.


5. PRESERVED FLOWERS AND ONE-YEAR GUARANTEE


Our preserved flowers are intended to remain beautiful for approximately one year when properly handled and cared for in accordance with the Care Guide provided with your order.


We provide a Care Guide with our products. The longevity and appearance of preserved flowers can be affected by conditions including direct sunlight, humidity, moisture, temperature, handling, storage, and other environmental factors.


If you believe your product has not remained in the expected condition within one year of delivery, please contact us at info@flowersareforever.com. We may ask for photographs and information about how the product was stored and cared for. We will assess the circumstances on a case-by-case basis. Where appropriate, and at our discretion, we may provide a replacement product or refund.


This guarantee does not cover damage, deterioration, discoloration, or other changes resulting from failure to follow the Care Guide, improper handling, exposure to unsuitable environmental conditions, accidental damage, normal characteristics of preserved natural materials, or other circumstances outside our reasonable control. This section does not limit any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable law.


6. ORDERS AND ORDER ACCEPTANCE


Submitting an order constitutes an offer to purchase the products selected. An order is not accepted until we confirm acceptance of the order. We reserve the right to accept, decline, or cancel an order for legitimate reasons, including suspected fraud or unauthorized activity, inaccurate pricing or product information, inventory or availability issues, shipping restrictions, or other circumstances that make fulfillment impracticable.


If we cancel an order after payment has been received, we will refund the amount paid for the cancelled order using the original payment method, subject to applicable law.


We may limit quantities purchased per customer, household, account, payment method, or shipping address and may restrict orders that appear to be placed for unauthorized resale or distribution.


7. PRICING, SALES TAX, AND PAYMENT


Prices displayed on the United States website are shown in U.S. dollars. Where applicable, sales tax is included in the displayed purchase price. Any tax treatment is subject to applicable federal, state, and local law.


We accept the payment methods displayed at checkout, which may include credit and debit cards, PayPal, and payment methods processed through Shopify Payments.


We may request additional information when necessary to verify a payment or order. You authorize us to charge the payment method you provide for the total amount shown at checkout.


8. SHIPPING AND DELIVERY


Orders generally require approximately 1–2 business days to process before shipment.


Estimated transit time to the United States is approximately 3–10 business days after shipment. These are estimates only and are not guaranteed delivery dates. Actual delivery times may vary due to carrier delays, weather, customs processing, operational disruptions, or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.


We will make reasonable efforts to assist customers when a shipment is delayed and may communicate with the carrier on the customer’s behalf. Nothing in these Terms excludes any cancellation or refund rights that may apply under applicable law if we do not ship or deliver within a legally required or expressly promised timeframe.


Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address. Additional shipping charges resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address may be charged to the customer.


9. CUSTOMS, DUTIES, AND IMPORT CHARGES


Orders shipped from The Netherlands to the United States may be subject to customs procedures, import duties, taxes, brokerage fees, or other charges imposed by governmental authorities or carriers.


The customer is responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, or other charges imposed in connection with delivery to the United States. We do not control the amount or timing of such charges.


If a customer refuses to pay applicable import or customs charges and the package is returned to us, the customer is responsible for return shipping and related charges. Any refund may be reduced by such costs, to the extent permitted by applicable law.


10. CANCELLATIONS


You may request cancellation of an order after purchase provided that we have not yet begun processing the order.


To request a cancellation, contact us as soon as possible at info@flowersareforever.com with your order number. We cannot guarantee that a cancellation request can be honored once processing or fulfillment has begun.


Nothing in this section limits cancellation rights that may be required by applicable law.


11. RETURNS, REFUNDS, AND CHANGE-OF-MIND ORDERS


We do not generally accept returns or provide refunds solely because a customer changes their mind after an order has been accepted or fulfilled.


If a product is damaged, defective, incorrect, or otherwise subject to a valid claim under these Terms or applicable law, please contact us at info@flowersareforever.com so that we can assess the issue.


Where a return is approved, we will provide instructions regarding return shipment. Unless otherwise stated by us or required by applicable law, the customer is responsible for return shipping costs for an approved return that is not the result of our error.


12. DAMAGED PRODUCTS


If your product arrives damaged, please contact us at info@flowersareforever.com within 48 hours of delivery.


We require photographs showing the condition of the product and its packaging. We may require the damaged product to be returned to us before issuing a replacement or refund.


After reviewing the claim, we may, at our discretion, provide a replacement or refund where appropriate. We do not guarantee that a replacement will be identical to the original product because preserved natural materials vary and availability may change.


Damage caused after delivery by improper handling, storage, environmental conditions, or failure to follow the Care Guide is not considered shipping damage.


13. INCORRECT OR MISSING PRODUCTS


If we send the wrong product, please contact us promptly at info@flowersareforever.com. After reviewing the issue, we may provide a replacement or refund, as appropriate.


If a customer claims that a product differs from the website photograph, we may assess whether the difference falls within the natural variation and substitution terms described in these Terms.


14. FAILED DELIVERIES AND RETURNED PACKAGES


If a carrier cannot deliver an order because of an incorrect or incomplete address provided by the customer, refusal to accept the package, failure to pay applicable customs or import charges, repeated delivery attempts, or another circumstance attributable to the customer, the customer is responsible for costs associated with the failed delivery and return shipment, to the extent permitted by applicable law.


If a package is returned to us, any re-shipment may require payment of additional shipping charges. We will work with the customer to determine the appropriate next step.


15. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY


The website and its contents, including text, photographs, graphics, logos, designs, product descriptions, videos, software, and other materials, are owned by or licensed to Flowers Are Forever and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
