Prices, availability, products
All prices listed on the Site are subject to change. In the event a product is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to typographical error or error in pricing or product information received from our suppliers, we shall have the right, prior to the acceptance of your order to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card or other account charged. If your credit card or other account has already been charged for the purchase and your order is cancelled, we shall immediately issue a credit to your credit card or other account in the amount of the charge.
Please note that the colours of items and products may depend on your monitor and may not be correctly displayed.
The availability of products and other items on the Site may change at any time, without notice.
Order acceptance policy
Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell. We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order for any reason. We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order, without prior notice to you, to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item. We may require additional verifications or information before accepting any order. Your order is not accepted until we send you shipping information for the order (or the accepted portion thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that, if we cancel all or a portion of your order or if we provide you less than the quantity you ordered, your sole and exclusive remedy will be one of the following: (a) we will issue a credit to your credit card or other account in the amount charged for the cancelled portion or the quantity not provided (if your credit card or account has already been charged for the order) or (b) we will not charge you for the cancelled portion of the order or the quantity not provided.
Payment terms
For each product you order through the Site, you agree to pay the price applicable for the product (including any sales taxes, surcharges and any delivery fees for the delivery service you select) as of the time you submitted the order. Unless we have agreed to an alternate billing arrangement in writing signed by Us, we will automatically bill your credit card or other account submitted, via the Payment Processor, as part of the order process for such price. All prices are non-refundable.
We use a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) to process your payments. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to this Agreement. We are not responsible for error by the Payment Processor.
Payment Processor & Third-Party Services
We partner with PayPal and Westpac Payway to facilitate card payments and other payments by buyers. PayPal and Westpac entities are regulated and authorised to provide payment services in the countries where they operate. We may share your personal or transactional information with those third-party service providers when it’s necessary to process payments.
By using a third-party service, you may also be subject to an agreement with the third-party. For example, PayPal is a third-party service provided by PayPal Holdings Inc. and is subject to the PayPal User Agreement. If we receive notice that a listing or transaction violates a third party’s service agreement, we may have to take action against your account, such as cancelling a transaction,

Third parties will only receive shipping information and limited buyer account information necessary to complete the order. Our Privacy Policy further explains how we handle user information.

You understand that our Goods are provided “as is” and with limited warranties. Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are also entitled to choose a refund or replacement for major failures with goods. If a failure with the goods does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have the failure rectified in a reasonable time. If this is not done you are entitled to a refund for the goods and to cancel the contract for the service and obtain a refund of any unused portion. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage from a failure in the goods.

You use the Goods solely at your own risk.
- Liability Limits. To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither us, nor our employees or directors shall be liable to you for any lost profits or revenues, or for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with the Goods or these Terms.

Entire agreement, severability, waiver and assignment
The Terms, including all of the policies that make up the Terms, supersede any other agreement between you and Us regarding the Goods. If any part of the Terms is found to be unenforceable, that part will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any part of the Terms is not a waiver of our right to later enforce that or any other part of the Terms. We may assign any of our rights and obligations under the Terms.
Survival
The Terms will remain in effect even after your access to the service is terminated, or your use of the service ends.
