Food Allergy Disclaimer

Any non-labeled food always has a risk of possible allergen contamination. All clients and their guests are encouraged to read the labels before consuming. The Papaya Exchange LLC will not assume any liability for adverse reactions to food consumed including labeled and non-labeled food products.
Substitutions
We pride ourselves on working with small-batch and local artisan businesses and as a result, certain items can become unavailable on occasion. In the event an item is unavailable at the time of being ordered, we will contact you to inquire about substitutions. If we do not hear back within 4 business days, we’ll take one of the following actions: 1/ Substitute with an item of equal or greater value and as close to your original item as possible. 2/ If your item is especially unique and an appropriate substitution doesn’t exist, we’ll omit the item and issue a credit.
Warm Weather Shipping
For orders including items vulnerable to the heat (i.e. products that may melt), a $10 charge will be added for cold packs upon request. The $10 is only added to orders containing food items subject to melting. Any items requiring the cold packs will be clearly designated as such in the item description within the Website. Please note that ordering items subject to melting is at your own risk. Quality upon delivery of these items cannot be guaranteed by The Papaya Exchange LLC. The Papaya Exchange LLC will not issue refunds as a result of melting regardless of the time of year even if cold packs were used.
Product Packaging
On occasion, manufacturers may update their product packaging and ingredient lists. As a result, actual product packaging may differ from what is displayed on ThePapayaeExchange.com or Custom Gift Design Proposals. It is the responsibility of the client and guests of the client to always read labels, warnings, and directions before using or consuming a product. For most current and/or additional information about a product, please contact the manufacturer.

We do not offer refunds for packages not provided to hotel guests once the responsibility has been assumed by hotel personnel. We are not responsible for unclaimed packages. It is your responsibility to know and abide by the hotel’s policies regarding welcome gifts and any associated fees that may apply.

If an item is returned to us due to incorrect shipping address or recipient refusal, we will charge a re-delivery fee. If an item is forwarded by the postal/deliver company due to incorrect shipping information, a $12.00 address correction fee is charged to us and in turn will be charged to you.
We cannot provide a refund on delivery or shipping charges. We are not responsible for packages unclaimed from postal or delivery companies. If packages are returned to us because they were unclaimed, we can arrange to have the gift sent to an alternate address for an additional shipping fee. We do not offer refunds because a package was not claimed by your recipient.
FedEx drivers obtain signatures at their discretion unless a signature is specifically required by the sender. Packages might be left at the residence without obtaining a signature. Signature service is an extra charge. If you would like to request a signature for your package, please call us to place your order by telephone.
