Substitution Policy
Effective Date: March 1, 2026
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
This Substitution Policy outlines the conditions under which Pètal (“Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) may substitute flowers, materials, or design elements in any floral arrangement.
Due to the seasonal, perishable, and natural nature of flowers, substitutions are sometimes necessary to ensure timely delivery and maintain product quality.

2. NATURE OF FLORAL PRODUCTS
All floral arrangements are:

Made with fresh, seasonal flowers

Subject to availability and market conditions
-
Unique by design
As a result:
-
Exact replication of any arrangement is not guaranteed
