Terms of service

 

- I understand that I am responsible for the cost of shipping my flowers to Hudson Stems

 

- I understand that if I do not follow shipping instructions & my flowers arrive in bad shape I will be responsible for the cost of repurchasing flowers, as a refund will not be offered since instructions were not followed.

 

- I understand that colors may change in the press.

 

- I understand that if I would like replacements for a flower type that didn't travel well, I will be responsible for the wholesale cost. 

 

- I understand that I am responsible to include a note inside the box with my order number, & contents of the box. As if not noted smaller items may go un-noticed and be tossed.

 

- I understand that I should remove any ribbons unless I specifically request BEFOREHAND - to include them in the framed arrangement.

 

-  I understand that Hudson Stems provides a tailored pressing service based on the size of the frame purchased by the client. For instance, if a client buys an 8x10 frame and sends us  1 whole bouquet and an 1 centerpiece, only the flowers required to fit within the 8x10 frame will be pressed. This approach ensures that services are priced according to the specific needs of the client, providing a customized and efficient service. Of course we often press more than needed, & extras are always sent back free of charge.

 

- I understand that Hudson Stems ships completed frames with UPS. 

 

- I understand that completed frames are shipped via UPS unless otherwise requested for delivery to a USPS P.O. box, which requires explicit instruction.

 

- I understand that Hudson Stems cannot be held responsible for lost packages.

 

- I understand that this process can take anywhere from 10-18 weeks.

 

- I understand that I will be sent a mock up and I am to make any edits I would like to see. 

 

-I understand that the color of my flowers may change or fade overtime, and that is organically occurring. 

 

-I understand that color correction is an artistic enhancement intended to minimize the natural color changes that occur during the pressed flower preservation process. Color correction permanently prevent future fading, browning, or color shifts. Because these changes occur naturally at the cellular level, continued aging and color variation are expected over time, regardless of color correction. 

- I understand that I must communicate any design preferences before my frame is designed to ensure the flowers are preserved accordingly—this is especially important for meadow, stem, and airy styles

- I understand that dry flowers like dry places and damp/humid areas would not be ideal. ( i.e. restrooms, basements with no airflow, storage units , etc) This can expedite the fading process.

 

- I understand that direct sunlight will expedite the fading process

 

-I understand that due to the limited thickness of the brass frame, there may be a gap, and as a result, I may need to choose an alternative frame. Hudson Stems will inform me of the available frame options should this be necessary. I also acknowledge that such issues often become apparent when my mock-up is prepared for shipping, rather than at the time of intake, and that this is part of the natural preservation process

 

-I understand that due to the handmade nature of this work my mock up & final frame may have discrepancies. I understand that at the time of framing there are circumstances I may not be aware of that may lead to these decisions & Hudson Stems reserves the right to make edits in the final framing process. 

 

-I understand that due to the handmade and organic nature of pressed flower preservation, each piece is uniquely crafted. Small variations in color, texture, and composition are an inherent part of the artistic process and reflect the individuality of each preserved floral keepsake.

- We kindly request respectful communication at all times. Should any behavior be deemed rude, inappropriate, or disrespectful, Hudson Stems reserves the right to terminate any ongoing relationship or service.
