Terms of Service

Terms and Conditions
IF YOU’RE NOT HAPPY FOR ANY REASON JUST LET US KNOW AND WE’LL SEND A
REPLACEMENT BLOOM IN A BOX OR OFFER A REFUND.
By placing an order on this website, you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions:
1. ORDERS AND CANCELLATIONS
1. Order Acceptance Policy
All orders and subscription requests received are subject to acceptance by Crann Aisling
Limited ("Bloom in a Box") and any of its personnel, reserve the right, at our absolute
discretion, to reject any order without giving reasons. In the event of rejection, we will refund
or cancel any payments received in full, via the payment method used to place the order.
2. Timing of your order
As a part of the checkout process you will be able to select the delivery date for your first
order delivery, whether that delivery is part of a subscription or a one-off order. You will also
be able to select the frequency of recurrence (in the case of a subscription).
3. Changes to your order
If you wish to change your order or subscription, please do so via the "My Account" area of
the Bloom in a Box website or by contacting Customer Delight at hello@bloominabox.com.
We'll always do our best to make last-minute changes for you, but we can only guarantee
changes (including to the delivery address and in relation to card messages) that are
requested by 9am the day before the intended delivery date. At peak periods we begin
processing orders earlier than usual, to account for the large volume of deliveries. This
means that we may need up to 5 days’ notice for any changes to be made.
4. Cancellation policy
One-off orders can be cancelled by 9am the day before the intended delivery date and a full
refund will be issued. The easiest way to cancel your order is via the "My Account" area of
the Bloom in a Box website. You can also cancel by contacting Customer Service at
hello@bloominabox.com. At peak periods we begin processing orders earlier than usual, to
account for the large volume of deliveries. This means that we may need up to 5 days’ notice
for any changes to be made.
5. Pausing or cancelling your subscription
If you wish to change your subscription, please do so via the "My Account" area of the
Bloom in a Box website. You can pause or cancel a subscription at any time by providing
notice to us by 9am the day before any intended delivery within your subscription plan. In
such circumstances the pause or cancellation will take effect without charge. In such
circumstances, if your card has already been billed (see paragraph 2.2 for billing timings),
we will issue a full refund. Where notice is provided after that time, please note you will still
receive and be charged for your next delivery (as we will have already started cutting your
flowers), but your pause or cancellation instruction will take effect after that delivery. At peak
periods we begin processing orders earlier than usual, to account for the large volume of
deliveries. This means that we may need up to 5 days’ notice for any changes to be made.

6. Subscription prices
The price for each order within a subscription is the price at the time that a subscription is set
up. We reserve the right, at our absolute discretion, to raise our prices at any time for
reasons including, but not limited to, price increases from our suppliers and partners. If we
raise our prices, we will notify our subscribers and provide the option to cancel your
subscription free of charge.
2. PAYMENTS
1. We accept American Express, Visa and MasterCard credit and debit cards as well as
Stripe and PayPal. In order to offer the best security, all our payments are processed
securely by Stripe or, if selected as a payment option, PayPal.
2. For all ongoing subscriptions, your credit or debit card will be billed at checkout for
your first delivery only. For ongoing deliveries, you will be billed on a recurring basis
every week in which a delivery is scheduled. The amount your card will be billed in
any given week will be the value of your order(s) for the given week.
3. For all gift bundles, your credit or debit card will be billed upfront on checkout for the
entire cost of the subscription.
4. If you create an account and enter your payment details, your card will be stored
securely by Stripe so that you can check out on future visits without re-entering your
card details.
5. We never store or have access to your credit or debit card details.
3. PRICES
All prices exclude delivery charges unless otherwise stated. All prices include VAT unless
otherwise stated.
4. DELIVERY POLICY
1. We deliver by An Post next day delivery post and via selected courier companies.
2. We will determine whether your order will be delivered by An Post or by courier and
will communicate this clearly during the checkout process. All delivery charges for An
Post 1st Class delivery are included in the price of any order or subscription.
3. For An Post deliveries, 90%+ of our deliveries will be on the chosen date and almost
all remaining deliveries will take place one day after that. We wish we could provide
more certainty, but at this time An Post does not offer a guaranteed one-day delivery
service, so we cannot guarantee the exact delivery date.
4. In the event of a delay by An Post or a courier, we are unable to offer a refund or to
resend your delivery.
5. We are unable to provide delivery notifications for An Post orders. We do not obtain
proof of delivery.
6. We cannot guarantee that delivery instructions will be followed.
7. Timed deliveries are not available.

8. Although our team will always try our best to ensure punctual delivery for our
customers, Bloom in a Box cannot be held responsible if a delivery arrives late due to
any circumstances impacting the availability of the postal service that we use or
anything else outside of Bloom in a Box's control.
9. In the event of a non-delivery (flowers not having arrived 3 days after their intended
delivery date), please contact Bloom in a Box Customer Service
at hello@bloominabox.com. It is the customer's responsibility to contact us within 7
days of the scheduled delivery date in order to claim a refund. Failure to do so will
result in the lapse of any rights to a refund.
10. Bloom in a Box only delivers within the Republic of Ireland & the United Kingdom. We
can deliver to any address within the Republic of Ireland, but do not deliver to PO
boxes.
11. We reserve the right, at our absolute discretion, to use a different delivery method
without prior notification.
12. If you change address, you must update your address details on the "My Account"
section of the website to ensure that no deliveries are sent out to the wrong address.
Please ensure this is done by 9am the day before your next order is due to arrive.
We are unable to provide refunds for any deliveries sent to the wrong location where
we have not received advance notice in accordance with this paragraph. Please note
that at peak periods we begin processing orders earlier than usual, to account for the
large volume of deliveries. This means that we may need up to 5 days’ notice for any
changes to be made.
13. We reserve the right, at our absolute discretion, to cancel your subscription if it
becomes apparent to us that the postal or courier service in your area is too
unreliable. We value our customers and our ability to deliver, so where we can't, we
won't risk disappointing you.
5. OUR PROMISE, RETURNS AND REFUNDS
1. We aim to delight our customers by delivering fresh Blooms, in great condition, on
time.
2. Freshness
If you receive your Bloom in a Box and the bloom does not seem fresh, please contact
Customer Service at hello@bloominabox.com to let us know. If, at our sole discretion, the
Bloom in a Box does not meet our high freshness standards, we will give you the choice of a
free replacement at our next available delivery date, or a refund. Please note that you will
need to email us a photo of the un-fresh bloom within 72 hours of receipt in order to be
eligible for a refund. If we offer you a refund, we will refund you the full amount within 3 days.
Please note that banks might take an additional 3-5 days to refund the amount to your card.
3. Damage
While our boxes are packed carefully to ensure they arrive as fresh and beautiful as when
they left us, on a small number of occasions (and for reasons beyond our control) they may
get damaged in transit. Should this occur to a level that you deem unacceptable, please
contact us so that we can arrange a free replacement at our next available delivery date, or
a refund. Please note that you will need to email us a photo of the damaged box and/or
contents in question within 72 hours of receipt of the flowers in order to be eligible for a

refund. If we offer you a refund, we will refund you the full amount within 3 days. Please note
that banks might take an additional 3-5 days to refund the amount to your card.
4. Non Delivery
While we do everything we can to make sure our boxes are delivered, sometimes mistakes
do happen and deliveries don't turn up. If we fail to deliver your order (i.e. if your Bloom in a
Box has not arrived within 3 days of their intended delivery date) we will send you a free
replacement on our next available delivery date, or a refund. If we offer you a refund, we will
refund you the full amount within 3 days. Please note that banks might take an additional 3-5
days to refund the amount on your card.

delivery of affected orders.

subscription).

losses, demands and damages, including without limitation, any costs, loss of profits,
loss of contracts or business opportunity, loss of data and any other consequential,
incidental, special or punitive damages, even if we have been advised of the
possibility of such damages, arising directly or indirectly out of or in any way
connected with your use or inability to access the Bloom in a Box service, whether
arising in contract, tort (including negligence), under statute or otherwise PROVIDED
THAT nothing contained in these Terms and Conditions affects or will affect your or
the recipient's statutory rights in relation to the quality, fitness or description of the
products supplied.

Account. Please note that if you request the erasure of your personal information:
a. We may retain some of your personal information as necessary for our legitimate

provided your consent to the processing of your personal information by Bloom in a
Box you may withdraw your consent at any time by sending a communication to
Bloom in a Box specifying which consent you are withdrawing. Please note that the
withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing activities
based on such consent before its withdrawal. Additionally, you have the right to limit
the ways in which we use your personal information, in particular where (i) you
contest the accuracy of your personal information; (ii) the processing is unlawful and
you oppose the erasure of your personal information; (iii) we no longer need your
personal information for the purposes of the processing, but you require the
information for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or (iv) you
have objected to the processing pursuant to paragraph 7.7 and pending the
verification whether the legitimate grounds of Bloom in a Box override your own.
7. Objection to Processing and Profiling. You are entitled to require Bloom in a Box not
to process your personal information for certain specific purposes (including profiling)
where such processing is based on legitimate interest. If you object to such
processing Bloom in a Box will no longer process your personal information for these
purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for such
processing or such processing is required for the establishment, exercise or defence
of legal claims.
8. Data Security. The security of your data is very important to us. With this in mind we
will take all appropriate steps to protect your data and will treat it with the utmost care
