GENERAL POLICY

Prices
Prices within this website supersede all other prices and may be subject to change due to product
availability.  Elegant Expressions Gift Baskets reserves the right to make corrections in the event of a
printing error within this web site.

Substitutions
There may be rare occasions when we are out of a particular product.  Therefore, we reserve the
right to substitute any product with a item that is of equal or greater value, keeping theme and
consistency in mind.   At times we may also substitute items as we make changes to our inventory based
upon discovery of new and unique items and seasonal difference.  Therefore, substitution may be
made, but quality will never be compromised.

It is the responsibility of the person/persons placing the order to notify us if the recipient has any food
allergies so we may substitute with other products instead.

Finally, we will be happy to substitute particular products at your request.  

Order Processing
We take pride in our customer service at Elegant Expressions Gift Baskets and this includes not only the
quality of our products, but also the speed of our service and shipping.  We will process your order
within 12 hours of it being placed.  We ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE for delays in processing due to
transmission delays or technical failures.

Order Cancellation
Keeping the above order processing guidelines in mind, we require that any cancellation be made
within 12 hours of order confirmation.  If any order is canceled between the 12th hour and the time of
delivery/shipment, it will be subject to a nonrefundable handling fee and service charge equal to 25% of
the total order.

The 12-hour cancellation does not apply to orders where same day shipping has been requested.  In
the case of a same day shipping request, all order must be canceled within 3 hours of order
confirmation or be subject to the same refund/replacement restrictions as outlined above.

All canceled orders placed with a credit card that has already been processed will be subject to an
additional $6.00 cancellation fee.

We do apologize, however, we do not allow cancellation on items that have been shipped.

Exchanges / Returns / Refunds Policy
We do not offer cash or credit refunds.  In the unlikely event that you are not completely satisfied
with the quality of your purchase, we will work with you to correct the situation.  Generally, if the
majority of the basket is acceptable to you, we will replace any items you feel are needed.   Items will
NOT be replaced if opened, used or consumed.

In the event your basket should arrive damaged, we will replace the basket at no additional expense to
you.   A basket considered "damaged" is at our discretion.   While we choose our baskets and
containers with great care, some flaws are possible.   General flaws in the basket or container itself will
not be considered "damaged".   Due to product availability, the replacement basket may not be
identical.   We will make every effort to replace it with the exact basket, however if you purchased a
basket that we no longer offer, a substitution will be made to your satisfaction.  The basket must be
returned in the same carton in which it was shipped, with all original items, in original condition. Please
contact us and we will arrange a "call tag" for the carrier to pick up the package.

Claims must be filed in writing via fax or email within 5 business days of the gift being received.  NO
exceptions.
