Unmanned venues – who signs for delivery? - Page 3

Looking back at my contract:

…We are not responsible for any damage to the cake after collection/delivery and setup (if applicable) is complete. Cakes will be photographed as collected/ delivered. You are responsible for providing an appropriate table and environment for your cake(s)…

I feel that this actually pro-actively negates my need for a signed delivery note just as you suggested Jason. Asking for a signed delivery note is essentially asking them to sign off the same clause twice. I'm also saying that I will record proof of how I left the cake.

…Should you be displeased with the quality of your product; you cake will be assed in terms of agreed design; should the unlikely situation arise that you are displeased with the flavour of your cake, samples must be retained, double wrapped in cellophane/cling wrap, frozen and returned to as such for assessment within 24 hours. We will assess the quality and determine whether there is an issue. Assessment will include all aspects of design, structure, cake handling, transport and storage. Our decision on quality is final…

I originally wrote this as a "oi- I've already thought of all the things you might complain about so don't try anything!" but after all your thoughts I see that it also serves the customer in that I am accepting fault if my design was wrong, my structure failed, cake was dry... as well as releasing me if I wasn't at fault. 

Looks like the lights were in I just wasn't home to see em!

OMG OMFG I can't believe that!!!! There I am all done on my last darn cake for tomorrow thinking "I wonder if that thread I thought would attract no attention has any more replies......" And then I near spit my coffee all over a pink "hello mummy, goodbye tummy" cake!! 

I sincerely hoped that was a copy-paste to CC typo.... Alas I just checked..... I can't stop laughing!!...... At least I will only Ass their cake if they have a problem with design or flavour!!

Thanks Kate, I owe you a pint, or a cake lol....... Maybe I should photoshop myself a trophy for my other thread!

...it's actually amazing, you wouldn't believe how many customers and proof readers have missed that!!
