Welcome to Petal & Thorn. By accessing or using our website and services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully before placing an order or using our services.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By using our website (petalandthorn.com) or purchasing our products and services, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts. If you do not agree to these terms, please discontinue use of our services immediately.

Petal & Thorn offers the following services:

  • Floral Arrangements: Custom and pre-designed bouquets and centerpieces for purchase
  • Wedding & Event Design: Full-service floral design and installation for special occasions
  • Subscription Services: Recurring floral deliveries for residential and commercial clients

3. Orders & Payments

Order Confirmation: All orders placed through our website are subject to acceptance and availability. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order for any reason, including pricing errors, product unavailability, or suspected fraudulent activity.

Pricing: All prices are listed in USD and are subject to change without notice. Prices include the cost of flowers and design but exclude delivery fees and applicable taxes unless otherwise stated.

Payment: We accept major credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal. Payment is processed securely through Stripe. Full payment is required at the time of order unless otherwise arranged for large events.

Substitutions: Due to the seasonal and natural availability of flowers, we reserve the right to substitute similar flowers or greenery of equal or greater value while maintaining the overall design aesthetic and color palette.

4. Delivery Policy

Delivery Areas: We deliver to Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and select areas of the Tri-State region. Delivery fees vary by location and are calculated at checkout.

Delivery Times: Same-day delivery is available for orders placed before 12:00 PM EST (Monday–Friday). We offer scheduled delivery windows but cannot guarantee exact delivery times due to traffic and logistics.

Recipient Availability: If the recipient is unavailable, we will leave the arrangement in a safe location or with a neighbor. We are not responsible for arrangements left unattended per delivery instructions.

Delivery Failures: If delivery cannot be completed due to incorrect address information or recipient refusal, redelivery fees will apply.

5. Cancellations & Refunds

Cancellations: Orders may be canceled up to 24 hours before the scheduled delivery date for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours may incur a 50% restocking fee. Same-day orders cannot be canceled once confirmed.

Refunds: Refunds are issued to the original payment method within 5-7 business days. We do not offer refunds for customer dissatisfaction due to subjective preferences (color, flower choice) unless there is a significant quality issue.

Freshness Guarantee: We guarantee the freshness of our arrangements for 7 days with proper care. If you experience issues within this period, please contact us with photos for a replacement or refund.

Event Services: Deposits for weddings and events are non-refundable but may be transferred to a future date (subject to availability). Final payments are due 14 days before the event.
