 Conditions of Orders

 Please take careful note of the conditions of order below.

 A        A mixed batch of butterflies consist of butterflies that we are breeding at the time of your wedding. These  could be
 
       any different colour, size or specie of butterfly

 B        We recommend that butterflies are delivered either one day prior to the wedding, or on the day itself. If you wish to
        have the butterflies more than one day prior to the wedding, we cannot take liability for losses.

 C       We offer two options of delivery. (a) fly your butterflies to your destination (see prices on quick quote and clause
       F), alternatively, drive them to your wedding venue (Price is determined by city in which the venue will be held).

 D       If there is no other way that you can collect your butterflies from the Butterfly Sanctuary, our last resort is to send
       them via airplane.

 E        Cold butterflies. It has happened in the past with releases, that due to the change in altitude and cabin pressure of
        the airplane, the butterflies sometimes need up to 12 hours to recuperate from the flight and different altitude. Please
        be advised that the butterflies are not dead, but in a dormant state and will recover as they warm up.

 F        Once butterflies are checked and verified to be in good condition prior to any flight, our liability ceases on handing
       them over to any airport in SA. We cannot be held liable for flight delays, damaged packaging or what your guests
     may or may not do to incur harm to these butterflies.

 G        Upon receipt of your butterflies, follow the set of instructions supplied to you as per the certificate of release.

 H        Please note that we do not package our butterflies in square boxes, as these boxes allow the butterflies space in
      which to fly and therefore they damage their wings. We package our butterflies in flat triangular packets which
      ensures that the butterflies remain in a sleeping position until the release.

·I        Any deposits that have been paid will be forfeited, should the order be cancelled, as the breeding process would
      have already started.

 J        All complaints must be lodged within 24 hours of receiving the butterflies. If this requirement is not met, all
      negotiation for compensation will be forfeited.

 K       Due to unforeseen fraudulent activity, any unauthorized payments into the account number provided will not be
     refunded. Authorization must be provided from SABBA for any payments to be made into its accounts. These will
     not be refunded.
