    It is your responsibility to ensure that you have provided the correct delivery information and to ensure that the venue is open and available at the arranged time. At the venue, should we have to wait to gain entry, you will be billed for the time at a rate of $65 per hour. If no one is available to receive the cake at the agreed delivery time, your order will be returned to my business and we will contact you to arrange an alternative delivery time; for which a charge will be payable. My company accepts no responsibility for any loss or consequential loss incurred by the customer as a result.

Please ensure, the 'cake presentation table' is stable, level, and sturdy enough to hold the cake. A large six-tier rich fruit wedding cake can weigh up to 7 kg. 
    
    Please also remember that chocolate and buttercream-covered cakes can melt under extreme conditions as are found within a marquee on a hot Summers day. If the cake is to be set up by the venue staff, we will leave instructions on how the cake is to be displayed and obtain a signature to verify that I have done so. Once the cake is delivered or collected, set up, and signed for we are not responsible for any interference or damage to the cake.

    We suggest that cakes should be eaten as close to the delivery/collection date as possible.
    My Business advises that all food must be consumed within 48 hours of the first serving. Any
    food consumed after 48 hours or later is at the client’s discretion and becomes their responsibility. Once food has been delivered, the responsibility of consumption lies with the customer and, therefore, indemnifies my business of all liability for personal use.
     

17. Allergies
    Please be aware that while your cake may not be made with nuts or a nut product, it will have been prepared in a kitchen where nut products may be used in other cakes and fillings.

You understand that I am in no way responsible for any damage that may occur due to weather conditions.
     

19. Exemption

Proof must be provided immediately, either in person or by way of pictorial evidence.

Assuming all precautions have been taken by us, to provide you with sound structural support; we accept no liability for any damage that may occur once the cake is in the customer's possession.
