The following recommendations are strongly suggested to ensure successful transportation from the Studio:
1. Always place product on a flat surface such as on the floor of the car, or in the trunk of a vehicle where it does not pose a hazard for damage. Please note ---> placing the cake box in someone's lap or on a car seat has a much higher likelihood of resulting damage.
2. Increase and decrease speed gradually to ensure there is no jarring or sudden movements to baked items. Turn corners slowly, the sharper the turn, the slower it should be maneuvered. Any sudden changes to either speed or direction can cause decorations to be dislodged or for the cake to tip over, even if the box appears to stay flat.
3. Be aware of road conditions. Poor surfaces, potholes and bumps are all hazards which must be avoided or driven over with caution. Cakes are fragile and will be susceptible to damage under these conditions. 4. Temperature can dramatically affect the stability and appearance of your cake. Orders should be transported and stored in dry, cool temperatures, away from any heat sources such as direct sunlight or floor heaters. Failure to do so can lead to drooping, melting, sagging or slumping of a cake or the decorations included.

Delivery & Set-Up:  Where the Order includes delivery and/or the set-up by CAKEPUNK, then CAKEPUNK may, in its sole discretion, set rules to ensure the safety of the Order including anything relating to the transportation, storage, display, or use of the Order and including without limitation in relation to any surface, weight bearing structure, location, environment (indoors or outdoors), temperature, heat source, weather protection, plateaus, pedestals, risers , trays or any display whatsoever.  CAKEPUNK may exclude any person from a specified distance from the Order until delivered or set-up is complete.  Once the Order is delivered (or set-up if to be done by CAKEPUNK) then the Order is at the risk of loss or damage of the Customer.  Any surface, structure, display, or area for the set-up or display of the Order to be supplied by Customer must be cleared and completed prior to delivery of the Order or CAKEPUNK may charge additional fees or retract or delay delivery in its sole discretion.  In the event that Customer or its agent is not available at the time and location specified for delivery of the Order, then CAKEPUNK may charge additional delivery, set-up and/or storage fees in its sole discretion and CAKEPUNK may complete the delivery with any such variation as required in the circumstances, acting reasonably.  Where delivery involves an outdoor location, CAKEPUNK will not be responsible for any damage or liability from such location including without limitation howsoever relating to bugs, weather, sunlight, humidity or temperature. 


Dietary Restrictions & Allergies: CAKEPUNK shall not be liable for any dietary restrictions, sensitivities or allergies howsoever relating to the Order which may contain nuts, diary, wheat, corn, gluten, eggs, dyes, flavours and other natural and non-natural ingredients.  Customer bears the risk of any and all reactions, illness, or responses (allegoric, medical, or otherwise) and shall indemnify and save harmless CAKEPUNK from any and all claims, actions, costs and expenses howsoever arising from reactions, illness, or responses relating to the Order and this section shall survive this Agreement.  Customer shall take all prudent steps to determine any dietary restrictions, sensitivities or allergies of any person consuming the Order or any portion thereof. 


Force Majeure: If, for any reason beyond a party’s control, (including but not limited to strike, labour dispute, acts of war, acts of God, fire, flood, weather, illness requiring hospitalization, delay in supplies, accidents, or other circumstances beyond the reasonable control of CAKEPUNK or Customer), that party is unable to perform its obligations under the provisions of this Agreement, such non-performance is excused and shall not constitute grounds for discount, refund or any other compensation, provided that if item(s) of the Order are not completed at the time of the uncontrollable circumstance, then all payments relating to those items will be refunded to the Customer, and further provided that if the entire Order is completed at the time of the uncontrollable circumstance, but cannot be delivered with four hours from the specified time due to uncontrollable circumstances as described above, the Customer will be refunded 50% of the total cost of item(s) plus any delivery fee charged should the Customer wish to cancel the delivery.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, delay in transit beyond the reasonable control of CAKEPUNK shall not constitute grounds for discount, refund or any other compensation to Customer. 


Warranty & Disclaimer:  CAKEPUNK hereby warrants that the Order will be performed in a reasonable, professional, and workmanlike manner. The entire liability of CAKEPUNK, its directors, officers, employees, and agents (all CAKEPUNK for this Article), if any such liability, and the Customer’s exclusive remedy with respect to any claim, costs, damages, expenses or injuries under or in any way related to this Agreement shall be limited to the recovery of the Customer’s actual and direct damages as proven in and assessed by a Court in a maximum amount equal to the Price.  Notwithstanding anything herein, in no event shall CAKEPUNK be liable for any loss, contracts or Customer’s use of equipment, facilities, interruption, failure to realize expected profits, savings, or results, or for any indirect, consequential, incidental, special, punitive or exemplary damages, howsoever caused or arising, incurred by Customer or any other person even if CAKEPUNK has been advised of the possibility of the same or even if same were reasonably foreseeable.  The provisions of this Article shall apply whether the claims or actions for damages arise, either directly or indirectly, as a result of contract, tort (including negligence), or any other statutory, legal or equitable grounds.  The terms and conditions contained in this Article shall survive this Agreement.
