ORDERS

You may place an Order for our Products by completing and submitting to us an online order and completing the checkout procedures on the Website. You must not order Products from us if you are under eighteen (18) years of age. We may, at our discretion, treat any order by a person under eighteen (18) years old as void.

All Orders are subject to our acceptance at our discretion. This Website and the information on it constitute an invitation to treat and not an offer by us to supply any Products. Your Order represents an offer from you to purchase the Product in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. Our acceptance of a particular Order will not imply that we will accept any of your future Orders

Orders placed on a weekend or public holiday will not be processed until the next Business Day. If we accept your Order, we will acknowledge and accept your Order by providing you with an order confirmation number via email once your payment for the Products in your Order has been validated. If we do not accept your Order, we will provide a full refund of the amount paid by you and received by us for that Order.

Once your Order is accepted by us, a binding contract will come into existence between you and us in relation to the ordered Products. The Contract will comprise the Accepted Order and these Terms and Conditions. If there are any inconsistencies between these Terms and Conditions and another provision in the Contract, the provision in these Terms and Conditions will prevail to the extent of inconsistency. No other terms or conditions (including any terms or conditions printed on or referred to in your Order) will be binding on us unless we agree in writing.

ORDER ACCEPTANCE AND CANCELLATION

You may cancel an Order any time prior to the time we send out the order confirmation notice to you. You may not cancel any Accepted Orders unless we agree to your cancellation, in which case you will be required to pay a cancellation fee, currently AUD$20.00.

You agree that we may not accept your Order, or we may cancel any Accepted Orders due to any of the following:

(a) the Products you order are not, or no longer available;

(b) we are not able to receive payment for the Products, or any payment was subsequently revoked; or

(c) where a Product has been listed or advertised with an incorrect price or inaccurate information by mistake,

in which case, you acknowledge and agree that we are under no obligation to sell you any Products. If you have made a payment and submitted your Order which is cancelled or rejected by us, or if we cancel your Accepted Order, we will provide you with a full refund for the amount you have paid and received by us for that Order or Accepted Order.

PRICE AND PAYMENT

Subject to clause 3, the price payable by you for the Products in an Accepted Order will be the Price for the Products at the time your Order is submitted. We may update or vary the Price from time to time without notice to you. Any changes will be effective once they are published on the Website.

All Prices are inclusive of GST. In the event that GST is not payable, such as when the Products are to be delivered outside of Australia, the GST will be deducted from the Price. All Prices do not include insurance or any other tax, tariff or duty unless expressly stated otherwise. You are required to pay (where applicable) these charges in addition to, and at the same time as, payment of the Price for the Products. If we are required to pay any additional tax, tariff, duty, fee or charge (in addition to GST), you must reimburse us with the amount paid.

We accept payment for any Accepted Orders by PayPal, Credit or Debit card only. We will not be responsible for any loss or damage (whether direct or indirect) suffered by you if your PayPal, Credit or Debit card is fraudulently used or used in an unauthorised manner by a third party.

Unless expressly stated to the contrary, all payments must be made in the currency specified in the Price on the Website for your transaction. Where conversion from foreign currency is required, such currency conversion will be performed by PayPal, Credit or the Debit card company and may be subject to a fee charged by them.

We will process PayPal, Credit and Debit card payments as soon as you submit your Order.
If your payment is declined or reversed for any reason, we reserve the right to reject your Order or cancel any Accepted Orders. We reserve the right to keep or sell the Products.

Your tax invoice will be emailed to you when the Products are ordered. Please keep your tax invoice safely as it is your proof of purchase.

DELIVERY, DUTIES AND TAXES

There will be no delivery charges for standard shipping within Australia of each Accepted Order where such order has a total value of more than AUD$75 (inclusive of GST and any other taxes). Delivery charges will apply to each Accepted Order of a total value of AUD$75.00 (inclusive of GST and any other taxes) or less, or an Accepted Order with a total value of more than AUD$75.00 (inclusive of GST and any other taxes) where any delivery option other than standard shipping is requested (for example, express post within Australia, shipping or express courier for international deliveries). For all delivery options, (including standard shipping within Australia) whether provided to you with or without charges, you will continue to be liable for any insurance, tax, tariff or duty (where applicable).

We will deliver the Products once full payment of the Price and all applicable charges (including charges for delivery, insurance or any other tax, tariff or duty) have been received. Any timeframes quoted by us for delivery of the Products are estimates only and will not be of the essence of the Contract; or otherwise confer any right of cancellation of an Accepted Order on you. We will not be liable for any loss or damages (directly or indirectly) sustained by you as a result of our failure to deliver by a particular delivery date.

We deliver Products within Australia and internationally. All Products will be delivered by a postal service or courier selected by you at the time your Order is submitted. If you provide specific delivery instructions (including to the postal service or courier), for example, for your Product to be to be left at your nominated address without acknowledgment of receipt, we will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to your Products once the delivery is made in accordance with your instructions. We are also not liable or responsible for any loss or damage to your Products that occurs as a result of the handling of Products by the postal service or courier in the process of delivering such products to you.

If the Products are to be delivered outside of Australia, you must comply with all laws and regulations of the country where the Products of your Accepted Order is shipped. You will be listed as the “importer” of the Product. All taxes, duties and tariffs will be your sole responsibility. We have no control over such taxes, duties and tariffs and do not have any obligation to ensure any Accepted Order will clear customs. You should contact relevant customs authority to determine if your Products under an Accepted Order will be charged any taxes, duties and tariffs or subject to any laws and regulations.

We do not take any responsibility where the Products of your Accepted Order are opened for inspection by customs authorities. In order to facilitate customs clearance and comply with local laws, we may disclose personal information, such as your name and address and other information such as the Price and description of the Products and shipment and carrier information.

You acknowledge that any delays caused by custom clearance are beyond our control. Our original estimated delivery timeframes do not take into account custom clearance. We are not liable for any loss or damage you suffer due to custom clearance delays.

Unless otherwise agreed, the Products are not insured by us and you will bear any risk of loss or damage to the Products when delivered to you.
