Any Bookings / Order Cancellation Policy

We understand that there may be times when orders need to be cancelled.

 At The Original Maids of Honour, fresh and seasonal produce is delivered daily and being able to forecast what we are going to use is vital. Last minute cancellations result in food wastage which apart from being ethically wrong, has a knock-on effect on our being able to give our customers the value for money that we strive for.

You may cancel or request an exchange, please see below for our terms of cancellation. Please note, may ask to receive the product(s) back and verify its packaging/condition for investigation. Subject to investigation we will refund the relevant amount to you.

We will not issue refunds for orders cancelled due to situations outside of the client or Maids of Honour’s control, including travel restrictions, pandemics or any other extraneous situations.  

 

Placing an order online 

When you place an order via our website, it is classed as an offer, which if accepted by us results in a binding contract. By completing the checkout process on Newens The Original Maids of Honour website, you are also agreeing to all of our Terms and Conditions as presented on the website. Should we accept your order, you will be sent an email containing the details of your order. Once this email has been sent, it means the order has been accepted, a contract has been formed, and payment will be taken. If, in the unlikely event, your order is not accepted, we will notify you via email of why this is the case, and no payment will be taken. It is your responsibility to check all the information in the confirmation email is correct and notify us immediately via email should there be any inaccuracies. We will not be liable for reimbursing you for the value of any goods which have perished or been damaged as a result of your failure to inform us of inaccurate information being listed on the confirmation email.

 

Cancelling an order:

Should you wish to cancel an order that has been accepted by us, and a confirmation email has already been sent out to you, we are unable to guarantee that we can cancel the order. You must give us at least 48 hours prior to the day of your order for your refund request to be valid and an admin fee of £3.50 will be charged.  Certain items once prepared, cooked or packaged are unable to be resold upon cancellation of an order. Cancellations made inside the 48 hour notification period cannot be refunded.

In case of disruption to Royal Mail services or if Royal Mail misplace or deliver Vouchers outside of normal parameters, an emailed printable Voucher will be sent by email or a copy can be prepared by hand for collection by purchaser or gift Voucher recipient.

Maids of Honour products that contain meat or fish, are deboned by hand and as such occasionally a piece of bone may be found in a product, this will not qualify you for a refund on your purchase.  

We will not be liable for reimbursements should a change in circumstances prevent an order from being collected, and the customer failed to give Maids of Honour 48 hours notice of any change requests. Any notification or acceptance of request of change within 48 hours will be at the company’s discretion.
