Unklare Stornierungs- und Änderungsbedingungen führen zu unbezahlten Leistungen

Definition

Specialist legal guidance for Australian event florists stresses that contracts must clearly cover deposits or non‑refundable booking fees, how payment is accepted, circumstances for postponement or cancellation, delivery, hire items, damage, and liability to avoid disputes and revenue loss.[1] Poorly drafted or generic contracts in wedding and event floristry mean that when couples cancel, postpone, or significantly change their order late in the process, florists often have no robust legal basis to retain deposits or charge for flowers already ordered and labour allocated, especially given the perishable nature of stock. Typical wedding floristry packages in Australia can range from AUD 2,000 to over AUD 8,000 per event; losing only one or two large contracts per year to disputed cancellations can therefore erode several percent of annual turnover. LOGIC: If an average wedding florist books 30 weddings a year at an average of AUD 3,000 and experiences just 2 problematic cancellations or aggressive downgrades without watertight terms, losing 50–100% of expected revenue on those events, that equates to roughly AUD 3,000–6,000 of direct revenue leakage annually, excluding sunk labour and design time.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Retail florists in Australia 🇦🇺 waste AUD 5,000–20,000 per year on late wedding cancellations, scope reductions and disputed deposits because contracts lack precise cancellation, postponement and change clauses. Automation of standardised terms, digital acceptance and automated enforcement of cut‑off dates eliminates most of this revenue leakage.
