Contract/ Terms and Conditions

Cascade Queen Designs appreciates the opportunity to our floral services to your special day. Our goal is to provide you with high quality wood flowers and designs, as well as make every effort to ensure that you are provided with exceptional services, and ultimately presented with an unforgettable experience. 

TERMS:

Payments may be made in cash, Venmo, Zelle or through our business invoicing online (which includes most major credit cards, as well as PayPal). 

COLORS/ITEMS/REQUESTS/TIMELINESS: I understand that Cascade Queen Designs will complete the project based off of the inspiration photos, all information provided, requests and notes given and within the parameters, limits and capabilities of sola wood flowers, faux/dried/preserved greenery and fillers. Natural/raw ivory wood flowers are not counted as a color choice and are complementary. For full bridal party orders and/or large decor orders, color choices up to 4 colors, but alternate custom colors are not provided or smaller pieces or accessories, in which only a few flowers will be dyed: alternate colors in stock can be used or the customer can purchase additional colors for $5 each. This also applies for stem wraps: all CUSTOM stem wraps (colors or fabrics) will come with a fee, if the client chooses not to use the stock of options available. I understand that I am responsible for choosing the colors that will be used in my order and to clearly request how these colors will be distributed. It is my responsibility to choose my colors via the color swatch instructions provided and if I choose my colors in an alternative way I am solely responsible and the color change policy below will be applied for any changes (for example: colors via telephone or computer the colors shown on screens can greatly differ). Once the flowers are dyed, they cannot be changed. In the event that I request a change of color, I understand there will be a fee not only for the new flowers, but also a restocking fee for those used. If consent for artistic freedom is provided and approved, once your order has begun it cannot be revoked. 

TIMELINESS:  Prior to your order being started, we will ask you to confirm all items on the contract, inspiration photos, and request specific custom information (such as colors, color distribution, handle wraps, etc). Responses to all inquiries are due within a timely manner in order to ensure your order is completed within the booked contract date. Response requirements can vary depending on the order, however,  a general guideline is approximately 1 week for numerous questions and decisions and within 24 hours for simpler and/or short questions. Reminders will be sent out for a total amount of 5 calendar days. After this time, we cannot ensure that your order will be completed by the contract due date and you will be notified of the new contract due date if a change is required. We will make every effort possible to ensure your wants are met within all capabilities. 

CHANGES & MODIFICATIONS: In the event that a client would like to make changes or modifications to their pieces after completion, Cascade Queen Designs will do their best to satisfy, but with the following limitations: 1. They must be minor modifications that do not include the restarting of the project. 2. They do not exceed 3 modifications.The client understands that any modifications that include restarting or exceed 3 changes, must be done so with a fee.

DEPOSIT/FINAL PAYMENT: I understand that a 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your selected event date/order due date (unless an alternate percentage has been negotiated), and represents my agreement to the terms of the contract. I understand that if I fail to make payment in full as scheduled, I acknowledge that this agreement is no longer valid and I may be subject to cancellation fees. The final payment invoice will be sent once your order is complete and payment is due within 48 hours after the invoice is sent unless otherwise agreed upon. After the 48 hours, a storage fee per day will begin at $25/day for items being shipped. All orders that are being picked up must be picked up within five days of completion. After 5 days, if the order is not picked up, a $25/day storage fee will begin. After final payment is received, your order will be shipped, local pickup will be available or will be delivered as agreed ahead of time. After 10 calendar days from the final invoice sent, if your final balance has not been paid or your order has not been picked up, your order will be considered abandoned and canceled, without return of non-refundable deposit. 

ADDITIONAL PURCHASES:  Additional purchases (considered either add-ons or may require an additional or new contract)  will be invoiced at the time of order. If additional items are ordered after my final payment, I understand that I am responsible for payment in full prior to delivery. Cascade Queen Designs understands that unexpected changes and updates will occur up until my event date/order due date, and will make every conceivable effort to accommodate my circumstance(s). Unfortunately, with last minute changes, Cascade Queen Designs cannot guarantee that my same flowers or greenery will be available on orders made after the original request, but will work diligently on my behalf to match my color and style as closely as possible.

PICK UP/DELIVERY AND/OR SET UP:  If you choose not to have your items shipped, you may opt to pick up your items in Brick, New Jersey at the time of your order completion.  We also offer delivery and/or set up to a chosen location or venue at a fee that must be booked ahead of time to ensure availability and cost for the date.
