3. Ordering from us

3.1. Product description

We use our very best endeavours to make sure that every product on the bakerdays.com website is shown accurately and that prices are correct. However, occasionally there may be small variations in colour, typefaces and layout. Treats and Bites Ltd disclaims all representations and warranties that the content or information on this website is accurate, complete, up to date or does not infringe the rights of any third party.

3.2. Placing your order

When you place an order with us (by choosing an item and completing our online checkout process), we will send you an acknowledgement by email. This will detail the products you have ordered. Please note that your completion of the checkout process does not constitute our acceptance of your order. Our acceptance of your order only takes place when we despatch it. A ‘purchase contract’ between you and Treats and Bites Ltd is therefore made at the point of despatch, and not at the point of ordering or payment. If you have cancelled your order within the permissible time period, or if we notify you that we cannot accept your order, then no purchase contract will have been made.  

From time to time, we may not be able to accept an order for the following reasons:

a.  If, we do not have your chosen ingredients in stock

b.  Where we cannot obtain authorisation for your payment

c.  If there has been a pricing or product description error

d.  If you do not meet any eligibility criteria set out in our terms and conditions

e.  If the order for personalised products contains reference to any copyrighted information where you have not obtained permission

f.   If your order for personalised products contains content which is threatening, defamatory, obscene, indecent, seditious, offensive, pornographic, abusive, liable to incite racial hatred, discriminatory, menacing, scandalous, inflammatory, blasphemous, in breach of confidence, in breach of privacy or which may cause annoyance or inconvenience.

We reserve the right to cancel your order at any time and issue a full refund. This does not affect your statutory rights.

3.3. Changing or cancelling an order

 All our cakes, balloons and cupcakes are created and decorated to order and so once the order has been set as 'Processed' or 'Dispatched' we are unable to cancel.

You may contact us to cancel you order while the status of the order is set as 'new successful'. 

The above details also apply to any changes wishing to be made to the cake design, recipe, size or delivery details. 

The status of your order can be viewed at any time by logging into your account. For further assistance you may call us on 0333 577 2559 (office hours), please have your order number and email address to hand. Under some certain circumstances it may be possible to place your order on hold for another occasion.

Office hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm - all enquiries will be dealt with during these hours. 

3.4. Personalising your cakes

Treats and Bites Ltd aims to provide you with a fast, high-quality cake decorating service. Please double-check your order on screen and your acknowledgement email carefully to ensure that all the details are correct. You will be asked to approve the personalisation on the preview page by ticking a box. If you realise an error has been made prior to your order being 'Processed' then contact us and we will do our best to fix it. We cannot offer any refund where the order has been processed and the personalisation has been misspelt by you or is missing letters, or a photo has been uploaded and has not been of the right quality or a photo has not been uploaded.

When you are uploading a photo, images must be in JPEG format.  Any other format such as Word documents and PDFs cannot be accepted. For best results, we advise that you make the image dimensions at least 1,000 pixels for the smallest edge of your photos. We print images at 300DPI (Dots Per Inch), so if you are scanning the image we recommend you use this setting. If you try to upload a photo that has a lower resolution or image size, we will accept it.

The preview page tick box will also confirm that you are the copyright holder or have the permission of the copyright holders to upload photos or designs. With photo uploads, the original photographer of the image, or any such other third party image as used by the customer, will remain the copyright of the customer. It is the customers responsibility to ensure that any image used but not owned by the customer has the permission of the owner to use the image. If we recognise any illegal use of other peoples copyright we shall refuse to print them.  Treats and Bites Ltd will not be held responsible for any copyright infringement by the customer.

3.5. Payment

At bakerdays.com you can pay for your goods using most major credit or debit cards, or PayPal.  We currently do not accept American Express or Visa Electron as forms of payment. If a voucher code is used on your order, it must be applied before the payment is made. The voucher codes do not hold cash value and therefore if a code is missed, we cannot refund the difference. 

3.5.1 Credit card transactions

Your card details are not recorded or stored in our database. They are encrypted and are transferred securely to our Payment Service Provider (www.sagepay.com) for immediate authorisation. Once we have received authorisation from the Payment Service Provider we will confirm your order

4.2. Prices and sales tax

All prices shown on the website include sales tax at the prevailing rate if applicable. Specific details regarding sales tax are outlined below:

Cakes are zero rated and therefore no VAT is charged

Non-food Items such as balloons, candles and other non-food add-ons will be charged at the standard rate of 20%

4.3. VAT Receipts

However, should you require a full VAT invoice showing zero vat, these are available upon request by email to team@bakerdays.com, please allow up to 10 working days for these to be sent.

Treats and Bites Ltd will accept no responsibility for cakes confiscated or delayed in foreign customs offices whether this cake is sent either by us or sent directly by you. Cakes going across Europe and Ireland will be subject to a custom charge that will be charged directly to the customer, and not Treats And Bites Ltd. This charge can vary depending on cake value and country of destination. This cost is not included in your order cost as per the website, as this is an independent government tax outside of our control.

All information regarding where we ship to, the charges for this and the time requried for delivery is all found on our 'Delivery Information' page. 

6. Returns and Refunds

At Treats and Bites Ltd.com, we always send your products in perfect condition. However, occasionally, a problem can arise. In the unlikely event that a product is faulty, or it is damaged in delivery or is the wrong item, we ask you to contact us to let us know of the problem within three working days of delivery.  We will then advise you on whether you are eligible for a refund or replacement.

If for any reason you are not happy with your bakerdays order, please contact the Customer Service Team. Call 0333 577 2559 or email team@bakerdays.com. You will need to quote your order number and email address.

We aim to deal with any problem immediately and will do our best to resolve it.

Please note: Cakes are perishable, we need to be informed of any problem with your order within three days of delivery to give us the best chance of resolving the issue.

If the recipient receives damaged cakes or they fail to arrive, please contact us immediately so that we can arrange to re-send on the next available delivery date or to issue a full or partial refund.  The amount of partial refund will depend on the specific circumstances surrounding the cake.

It is not our policy to offer both a refund and a resend.  Where a cake has been damaged we will normally ask for photographs clearly showing the problem so we can use them to determine the cause of damage so we may review our processes. It is important that we are contacted as soon as possible regarding issues with your order or the product(s) you have ordered.  We need to be informed of any issues within three days of the delivery to give us the best chance of successfully resolving the issue.

Refunds cannot be given if the fault is a result of your own actions such as product misuse, incorrect address ibnformation or if personalisation is misspelt or if you have uploaded an image of a low resolution or size. 

The maximum that can be issued would be the total cost of the order including delivery.  We do not offer any form of further compensation. 

6.3. Multiple refund requests

If there are persistent claims for refunds from the same individual or group of individuals, we reserve the right to refuse a refund or replacement of an order.
