Terms And Conditions

The Nitty Gritty

General:

• Don’t worry, we’ve got your back! You choose the perfect gift and we’ll do the math! All our prices are already inclusive of VAT. However, a delivery fee will be added on during checkout.
• Nothing lasts forever, not even a good deal! So, all of our prices are subject to change and are valid while stocks last.
• Even though our florists and hamper team select and prepare only the freshest flowers and edible items available, delivered products may vary slightly in appearance when compared to images on the website. This is due to the nature of the product.
• While we do substitute items in a gift very rarely, we reserve the right to make these substitutions without notifying the customer, unless the substitutions are significant. In these cases, we will attempt to contact you. All substitutions are of equal or greater value and look as similar as possible to the product displayed on the website.
• If our floral or gift creation didn’t tick all the right boxes and you or that special someone are not 100% satisfied, let our customer service team know within 48 hours. We will gladly collect and replace it at our expense, or collect it and provide you with a refund.
• If the gift is still in its original condition and we have stock of something else which your special someone would prefer, we’ll happily exchange it for them. However, please note that we may have to charge a collection, handling and re-delivery fee.
• No one’s perfect and sometimes mistakes happen. If you receive a product that is different from the one you ordered or if you’d like to return it, let us know within 48 hours of receiving it. We’ll make arrangements for the item(s) to be returned to us and for the correct product to be delivered to you ASAP. If the incorrect product is delivered to you, do not remove the product from its original packaging, tamper with or use the product in any way. If the product is tampered with or used in any way and is not in the tip-top condition that we delivered it in, you will be liable for a 15% handling fee plus delivery.
• If the gift received seems to be going through some technical difficulty, we need to be notified within 48 hours of receiving it and we’ll arrange for the faulty item to be returned to us for testing. If no bugs or faults are found, the product will be returned back to you, at your cost. If the item is found to be full of gremlins and there is a problem, depending on the fault and the supplier, we will offer you a replacement or a repair.
• We’re all about just being nice and love giving out vouchers! However we reserve the right to cancel orders placed if there has been misuse of a voucher or unsolicited voucher use.
• To avoid any ‘orchid’ moments, please ensure that all recipient names and card messages are spelt correctly. We print messages and names exactly as provided by you and want everything about your gift to be perfect!
• These terms  and conditions are not exhaustive and may not cover all scenarios that you or Donum may face. So, Donum has the right to vary or make additional terms and conditions to suit the specific event, circumstances or stock available at that time.

Payments/Refunds:

• You know what they say, money talks. Any payment above the equivalent of US$50, paid by direct deposit, has to reflect in Donum’s account before an order can be released. This may affect the delivery date you have chosen. In order to prevent any unwanted delays, we recommend payment via credit card.
• We require proof of payment before an order can be released. This means that you need to personally email your proof of payment to us at sales@donumgifts.co.zw .
• With so many Johns, Pauls, Stevens and Ryans in the world, please excuse us if you’re asked to send through a copy of your I.D and or credit card. We’re just making sure that nobody’s stolen your identity.
• Once processed by us, all refunds will take between three to ten working days to reflect into the account the original payment was made from.
• Because they purchased the gift, refunds can only be given to the account holder (sender) and not the recipient of said gift.
• Refunds will reflect on the bank statement under the date that the purchase was made.

Delivery

• Because each day is unique and we can never predict what awaits us, we unfortunately can't guarantee delivery times. We understand that hours may turn to days when you’re waiting to make their day, so we ask for your patience with each delivery!
• Two surprises are so much better than one, so if you’ve ordered more than one item for someone special, we may deliver each item separately.
• If our drivers need to take a road trip to get to the door of your choice, we may charge an additional delivery fee if it is outside of our normal delivery range.
• Our deliveries will take place from 7 am until 7 pm from Monday to Friday, from 8 am until 4 pm on Saturdays and from 9 am until 2 pm on Sundays. We will, however, try our best to prioritise business deliveries according to standard weekday business hours.
• If you're a procrastinator and your order is placed after 12 pm for same day delivery, the delivery will take place between 1 pm and 7 pm.
• If you place an order for same day delivery in the morning, your order will go out in the afternoon that same day. This is to give us enough time to prepare your gift beautifully, and because our drivers only collect gifts twice a day; once first thing in the morning and again at lunchtime.
• To ensure same day delivery, please send your proof of payment to us before 12 pm that same day.
• Our normal delivery procedure is to give the recipient a call when we are at or near the specified address. If we can’t get hold of the recipient, we’ll call the sender. If we can’t get hold of the recipient or the sender, we reserve the right to re-attempt delivery at a later stage.
• Because we’ve got to put petal to the metal to ensure all our deliveries are made on time, our drivers are only able to wait for a recipient for a limited amount of time.
• Our standard delivery fee is USD5 or the Zimbabwe dollar equivalent at the rate of the day.
• Although seldom charged, we do reserve the right to charge a 15% handling fee plus delivery if the address provided is incorrect or incomplete, if you’ve changed your mind and wish to cancel or change your order when the gift has already left our warehouse, or if the recipient needs to exchange the item for something else.
• If your recipient lives somewhere far away and exotic that falls into our extended areas list, the delivery may take between one and two extra days to be delivered.
• If we have to reattempt your delivery more than twice, we may charge you a handling fee of 15% plus delivery.
• If the sender or recipient is off jet setting or are only visiting our beautiful country and therefore have an international number, we cannot be held liable for late delivery if we are unable to reach them.
• We’re all about sharing and unexpected surprises, but because we like to make the day of the correct recipient and not any old Johan, Thabo, Mary or Rani, unfortunately, we can’t leave deliveries unattended at the recipient’s front door. We will, however, try our best to deliver at reception, receiving, security or a neighbour if they aren’t available.

Personalised Gifts (Including Activewear And Apparel Or Jewellery):

• You know them best! Therefore, it is the customer’s responsibility to select the correct model, size and colour of the gift.
• Not every size fits all! Therefore, it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the correct clothing and apparel size is chosen based on the provided sizing chart, so if you want to knock their socks off, make sure they’re the correct size! 
• Forgot how to spell their name? Remember, it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the correct personalisation information is given to Donum. This includes any names, surnames, messages and photos.
• Cancellation of personalised orders that have already been sent for production: in the event that the personalisation process has already been completed, you will only be offered a 50% refund.
• In the event that the order has not already shipped from our production facility: Because we understand that mistakes happen, if the customer has incorrectly entered the personalisation, Donum will charge an additional 50% reproduction charge to produce a replacement.
• In the event that the order has already shipped from our production facility: if the customer has incorrectly entered the personalisation information, Donum will charge 50% reproduction charge to produce a replacement, in addition to a collection and redelivery fee. So, make super-duper sure that you enter the correct information!
• Before you pour your heart out to someone special, remember, only certain elements of a gift can be personalised. These elements include the name, date, message or photo. Products are only personalised as indicated under the ‘Personalise This Item’ tab. All other parts of the gift will arrive as shown in the image and cannot be altered. Name, date and message personalisation are subject to character limitations which means you’ll have to keep the love short and sweet. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that their personalisation is within the character limit. Remember, a short message can just be as heart-warming as a long one!

The Bakery At Donum:

• Because all our yummies are freshly baked every morning, we can’t allow any changes or cancellations to your order unless they are made 48 hours prior to delivery. If cancellation is requested after delivery takes place, you will be charged a 50% handling fee plus collection equal to delivery fee.
• If upon receiving a gift from the Bakery at Donum, you or that special someone is not 100% satisfied, let our customer service team know within 24 hours (due to its perishable nature) and we will gladly collect and replace it at our expense or collect it and provide you with a refund.

Changing Or Editing Personalised Bakery Orders:

• Changes can be made at zero cost prior to personalisation production being completed.
• If changes are requested after personalisation production has been completed, the customer will be charged a 50% change/cancellation fee.

Made To Order Items:

• Cancellation of engraved, laser-cut or print made to order items that have already been sent for production: In the event that our flower fairies and gift gurus have already completed the production, you will only be offered a 50% refund.
• Donum will charge 50% reproduction charge to produce a replacement.

Valentine's Day T's And C's:

• Love is in the air and the gifting fairies have caught the fever! Because romance is the theme of the season, only gifts from the Valentine’s Day range are available for delivery from 12 to 15 February. 
• You may be able to account for their love, but not always for their daily routine. If, for any reason, your sweetheart is unavailable to receive the gift on either 13 or 14 February, we will only be able to make a second delivery on 15 February. Either way, rest assured that your love will remain as true as the day is long!
• We understand that businesses may have earlier closing times on a Friday. Don’t worry, the party train doesn’t have to stop our account, so we will do our best to get to your sweetheart within these times. Our delivery times for business addresses on 14 February are from 8am to 5pm.
• For any slip-ups along the way, any collections and replacements will only be done from the 15th of February.
• Love is equal, and no one relationship is above the other this Valentine’s Day. This means that no Premium Pre 1 delivery is available for gifts in the Valentine’s Day range.
• Two surprises are so much better than one, so if you’ve ordered more than one item for someone special, we may deliver each item separately.
• Any floral price fluctuations over the V day period are directly influenced by the increased prices coming from the rose farmers, which we have no control over. Even though priceless moments cost a little more, they’re still precious nonetheless!

• We reserve the right to cancel orders placed if there has been misuse of the voucher or unsolicited voucher use.
• It's the responsibility of the customer to make note of their given voucher code.

Fresh Produce:

• While some foods tend to have violent streaks and come out looking a tad bruised, if you're not 100% satisfied with the quality of your fresh food delivery, please let us know and we'll be happy to replace any defective or expired produce. 
• Don't need your fruit and vegetables anymore? While we think your Dr may beg to differ, you we'll (sadly) cancel your order provided you've cancelled it at least 48 hours prior to your selected delivery date.
