Prices are inclusive of goods and services tax. If you require delivery of goods outside of Australia, you will become the importer and liable to pay for all taxes, duties and charges imposed or levied. You should note that some countries have import restrictions on certain products or materials. If you are outside Australia, you will be responsible for checking whether such restrictions apply before placing an order.

 

3. Non-acceptance of Offer to Purchase

An Offer to Purchase must be accepted by us. The receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your Offer to Purchase. We reserve the right to reject any Offer to Purchase made by you at any time for any reason including for the following reasons:

 
  • If we are unable to verify the payment details (clause 4);
  • The product ordered is unavailable; or
  • The identification of a typographical error whereby the product or pricing information is incorrect in some way (see clause 6).
  •  

    4. Authorisation of payment and fraud prevention

    We employ a payment gateway provider to process your payment. Prior to the acceptance of your order, we may request additional information from you, such as a request for a photocopy of any photographic identification such as a driver’s licence or passport. We have the right to refuse an Offer to Purchase if the request for additional information is refused by you.

     

    5. Limits to a Transaction

    Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, we reserve the right with or without prior notice to:

       
    • Change a description, image or reference of a product (descriptions and references to a product do not imply our endorsement of a product nor do they indicate our representations about the accuracy of the description or reference);

    • Honour or impose conditions on the honouring of discount code or promotion;
    • Bar any user from making any or all Transaction(s);

    We reserve the right to update or correct information on the website at any time without notice. In the event that a product is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information, we have the right to refuse shipment of or cancel any Offer to Purchase for the product. Where we become aware of any error or inaccuracy after acceptance of your Offer to Purchase, we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of re-placing your order at the correct price or cancelling your order for a refund. Where we cannot get in contact with you when we become aware of the error, your order may be cancelled and refunded.

     

    7. Payment

    Payment can be made by Visa or MasterCard. Credit Card transactions are processed through the Secure Payment Gateway provided by Shopify, a Canadian company. Your card details are not disclosed to us and are not stored in our database. Shopify stores your credit card data. The data is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.

     

    All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa or Mastercard. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

    8. Charges

    You are required to pay all charges incurred by you or on your behalf through the website, at the price(s) in effect when these charges are incurred, including, without limitation, all shipping and handling charges and any applicable network charges in respect of mobile downloads. All sales through the website are final, and all charges from those sales are non refundable, except as otherwise expressly stated in these Terms.

     

    9. Acceptance of your Offer to Purchase and delivery of goods

    We will endeavour to process Transactions as soon as possible, once your Offer to Purchase is accepted by us. If you wish to have the products delivered, it will be via a domestic or international service. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, we reserve the right to change delivery options without notice.

    In the instance where a purchase which was elected to be collected or picked-up instead of being shipped remains uncollected for a period of 6 months, the purchased goods will be forfeited by the purchaser and will be taken back into the seller's inventory.

     

    10. Delivery delay

    While our delivery providers make every effort to deliver parcels within our delivery timeframe, we cannot guarantee delivery times as these can change for reasons which are beyond our control. We will not be liable for late deliveries or any loss, damage or cost incurred due to late delivery.

    In the instance where you have not received your order due to a delivery error (this includes parcels that are marked as undeliverable, missing or lost in transit articles, 3rd party delivery provider sorting issues and disputed deliveries), we will, at your request, contact the delivery provider to open an investigation on your behalf. If a resolution has not been reached within a reasonable time after the investigation was opened, we will re-ship your item(s) to you free of charge (where the stock is still available), or refund your order.

    Please note this does not apply to orders where the address has been submitted incorrectly at the point of checkout, or to items that are returned to sender due to not being collected from a postal centre in a timely manner. In these cases, additional charges may apply to reshipment or to a refund.

     

    12. Customs and import duties

    International orders may be subject to local charges. Any and all customs or import duties are charged once the parcel reaches its destination country and are to be paid for by the recipient. While we endeavour to inform you of any customs or import duties and the value limit at which duty is payable at checkout, we cannot be responsible for reimbursing any additional costs charged on delivery of an order that were not indicated prior to checkout.  
    Delivery of international parcels may be delayed due to customs clearance issues and where this occurs we are not responsible for any loss or additional costs incurred as a result.
