Orders 

Order constitutes offer 

By placing an order through this site, you make an irrevocable offer to us to purchase the  products that you have selected pursuant to these Website Terms of Use. Information  contained in this site constitutes an invitation to treat only. No information in this site constitutes  an offer by us to supply any products to you – however, the Company will endeavour to supply  your selected products to you.

We will not commence processing any order made through this site unless and until: • payment for the order has been received by us in full; and

  • the order has passed our internal validation procedures, which are undertaken in order  to verify the bona fides of each order for the purpose of preventing credit card and other  fraud.

We reserve the right at our discretion to:

  • at any time prior to your order being accepted in accordance with these Website Terms  of Use, cancel all or part of your order; and
  • at any time:

− refuse to provide products to you;

− terminate your access to this site; and/or

− remove or edit any content on this site.

Acceptance of orders 

Acceptance of each order will take place if and when the Company ships the requested items to you, at the time at which the items are despatched by the Company. Title to, and risk in, the  items will pass from the Company to you at that time. After the items have been sent, we will  send you an email confirming that shipment has taken place.

Manufacturer’s Warranty 

You acknowledge and agree that a separate manufacturer warranty may apply to certain  products purchased through this site.

If a separate manufacturer warranty applies, it will be specified at checkout.

Prices 

The Company reserves the right to change the prices for products displayed in this site at any  time before you place an order.

Shipping costs 

Shipping costs will depend upon the location for delivery and the items purchased and are  shown separately during checkout.

GST 

Unless otherwise expressly stated, all amounts payable through your use of this site are  expressed to be inclusive of GST. For these purposes, the term “GST” has the meaning given  to it in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth).

Payment methods 

Payment for orders placed through this site may be made:

  • by credit card (Visa or MasterCard only) processed online using the secure Stripe payment gateway
  • via direct bank deposit by electronic funds transfer (EFT).

Stripe 

The Company uses the third-party payment gateways provided by Stripe Payments Australia  Pty Ltd (ABN 66 160 180 343) trading as “Stripe” for its secure online payment transactions.

Payments made through Stripe are subject to Stripe’s own terms and conditions and privacy  policy. For more information about Stripe, see the Stripe website (http://www.stripe.com/).

Unless you expressly consent otherwise, we do not see or have access to any personal information that you may provide to Stripe, other than information that is required in  order to process your order and deliver your purchased items to you (eg, your name, email  address and billing/postal address).

Credit and debit card payments 

Only VISA and MasterCard are accepted. Please note that we may be unable to accept credit  cards issued by banks outside of Australia in some cases. Additional transaction fees may  apply if paying by credit card, in which case the additional charges will be specified at checkout.

Payment by EFT 

If you elect to pay for an order by direct deposit using EFT, after your order has been submitted,  we will send you an email containing instructions for making the payment, or otherwise provide  such information to you, including our bank account details and the reference number for your  order. Please quote the reference number for the EFT transaction in order to avoid delays in  processing your order.

Refunds and other remedies 

Except as expressly provided otherwise in these Website Terms of Use, all amounts paid  through this site are non-refundable. Further information on the steps that the Company will  take to remedy any breach of any non-excludable condition or warranty/guarantee is provided  under the heading “Remedies limited” in these Website Terms of Use below.

Security 

While our payment processing and website hosting providers employ secure technology for  transactions with our customers, we will not be responsible for any damages, including  consequential losses (whether direct or indirect), that may be suffered by a customer whose  credit or debit card or bank account information is used in a fraudulent or unauthorised manner  by any person other than the Company.

The Company may request further information from you, such as a copy of your credit card  and/or other identification documentation, as part of our internal validation procedures. These  procedures help protect bank and credit card account holders from online fraud. Until your  order has passed our internal fraud prevention checks, your order will remain on pending  status. If further information is requested and you do not provide the requested information  within such time as the Company considers appropriate at its discretion, your order will be  cancelled and, if your payment has been received, it will be refunded back to you.
