3.2 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and we will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably anticipate, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product, or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified. 

3.3 Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

4. Our gift hampers

4.1 Gift hampers may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the gift hampers on our website are for illustrative purposes only.  Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device's display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the gift hampers, or their contents. Your gift hamper may vary slightly from those images. Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, all sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our website have a 2% tolerance.

To make the most of the hamper content, we recommend that the food and drink items are consumed as soon as possible after delivery.  Some items can be kept for many months, but some require immediate consumption & refrigeration.  Mehndi cones should be stored in the refrigerator and used within two weeks of receipt. We cannot accept liability for spoiled products if the items are not stored in the correct manner once delivered. It is your responsibility to inform the recipient of the gift hamper that their purchase contains perishable food, drink or other items and that it must be opened and stored correctly immediately upon delivery.

5. Gift hamper messages

Some gift hampers give you the option to leave a personalised gift message.  This is an open text box where you can leave a private message to the recipient. We cannot accept liability for the contents of the message, nor can we guarantee it will be included on the gift hampers. 

6. Your rights to make changes

If you wish to make a change to the gift hamper you have ordered, please contact us by emailing sales@indiangifthampersco.uk. We will let you know if the change is possible.

16.4 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
