Confirmation of your booking
The Platter Collective will send an order confirmation to the Customer by email with an order reference number. An email from The Platter Collective to the Customer confirming acceptance of the order represents confirmation of the order unless the email states that it is a quote. If no email confirmation is received, the order is not accepted.

It is the responsibility of the Customer to review the details of the order confirmation and to notify The Platter Collective of any omissions or corrections. The order confirmation is not the invoice for the order.
