If for any reason we are unable to obtain access at the agreed times we cannot guarantee the completion of the installation by the agreed times. We confirm that we will use our best endeavors to meet the timetable. We cannot accept liability for any possible costs occurred due to us being unable to access the premises at the agreed times which have been out of our control.
3.2 When installing the flowers if for any reason the venue representatives refuse Martin & Cox to position or use pre-arranged area of the venue to display the flowers or products all efforts will be made to rectify this, however Martin & Cox will respect the venue’s decision and position or install the flowers in the next most suitable area/position.

5. DELIVERY
​
5.1 It is your obligation to provide the correct and completed address details. Should you provide the wrong address Martin & Cox are not obliged to re-deliver the order to the correct address at our expense. If the incorrect delivery address is supplied or if there is no one to
receive and no safe place (as judged by us) to leave the ordered products they will be returned to Martin & Cox premises and we will contact you to rearrange re-delivery. Re-delivery may occur an additional fee. To avoid these costs please carefully consider the delivery address you provide.
5.2 Martin & Cox do not accept responsibility for completing set ups at a ceremony or reception venue if the venue is not ready at the pre-agreed time. Under these circumstances we will use our discretion to leave the products at the venue (if the venue is willing to complete the set-up) or we will return the items to our premises for you to collect should the venue not comply. However this is very unlikely that Martin & Cox will ever leave a venue without personally setting up. This will only ever happen in extreme circumstances.
5.3 Martin & Cox are unable to give guaranteed time of delivery but will endeavor to deliver at the agreed time. Without limiting the operation of the Terms and Conditions you agree that late delivery does not constitute a failure of our agreement and does not entitle you to cancellation or refund of an order.

A signature is required upon receipt of delivery either by yourself or on your behalf. Please ensure the order is correct before signing and any mistakes or queries must be raised within 30 minutes of receiving your order and we will endeavor to assist.

​
7.1 Whilst we agree to use our reasonable endeavors to ensure that Martin & Cox service is fully operational and effort free we cannot guarantee this. Acts of God, sudden ill health and adverse weather conditions may affect our ability to deliver the Martin & Cox product or service. However in cases of adverse weather we will remain in contact with the client in the lead up to the event and if the event is out of season we will discuss a contingency plan with the event organizer. We have contingency plans for such occasions of sudden ill health if Martin & Cox is unable to personally complete or deliver your event then this will be completed by an outsourced third party. Ultimately we can accept no responsibility for Acts of God, sudden ill health or adverse weather conditions and if we are prevented from providing the Martin & Cox service or product as agreed then we can only offer a refund for the full monies paid.
