When you place an order through our website, you are in agreement to pay the specified price for the selected products in full at the time of ordering. We appreciate your trust. For custom orders, a non-refundable initial retainer fee of 50% is required to secure your order within 24 hours of contract receipt. Please note that if the 50% retainer fee is not paid, your order will not be considered placed. The final payment is due one week before pickup or delivery, with the latter incurring an additional delivery fee.
Dessert Design
While we encourage design inspiration pictures, it's essential to understand that we cannot replicate another artist's work exactly. The design process is an art form that's subjective, and each creation is unique, with its own character and nuances. Elements like weather and humidity can impact the final result. Decorations and flowers may not always be available or in season, leading to differences from the initial concept. You're engaging us for our artistic abilities, not for reproducing others' work. We reserve the right to refuse certain designs, but we will strive to provide a distinctive Ever After experience. Concerns about the appearance of an order are not eligible for a refund.
Cancellations/Changes
In the event that a custom order must be canceled, the 50% retainer fee, which is a non-refundable portion of the order, will not be returned (if applicable). Online orders are non-refundable. While we endeavor to accommodate changes made seven days prior to the order's due date, we cannot guarantee it, and extra charges may apply for last-minute alterations. Please note that we do not offer refunds in the event of celebration cancellations due to the high demand for our services. We reserve and hold the date for you, which means we cannot refund the money. **Please note: Once your invoice is paid and your order is secured in our schedule, any cancellations will result in the forfeiture of payments made. Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds. By paying this invoice, you agree to adhere to the terms and conditions outlined on our website.**
