3.4 In addition to the price for the Goods and the Delivery Charge (if any) you may also need to pay any additional delivery charges which are not shown in your shopping cart but which we incur because you live or the Recipient lives in an area outside of the usual range of our chosen delivery agent (“Additional Delivery Charge”).

4.9 You acknowledge that if you have purchased any Goods for business purposes (in terms of section 2 and/or section 43 of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993), that the provisions of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 shall not apply to the supply of those Goods by Bays Flowers to you.
