Our Contract

When you place an order via our website (Order), you will receive an acknowledgement e-mail confirming receipt of your order which will be an acknowledgement only and will not constitute acceptance of your Order. A contract between us will not be formed until we send you confirmation by e-mail that the goods in your Order have been dispatched to you. Only those goods listed in the confirmation e-mail sent at the time of dispatch will be included in the contract formed. If you make more than one Order a new contract will be created each time you place an Order.

Pricing and accuracy

  • Whilst we try and ensure that all details, descriptions and prices, which appear on the Website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in any information on the Platform (including the way goods are priced) we will correct the error as soon as we are reasonably able to.
  • The pricing of products and services on the Platform is subject to change, without notice, at our discretion.
  • While we use our reasonable commercial endeavours to ensure the images used on the Platform are representative of the style, colour, texture and size of a product, the product may vary from the image displayed when delivered due to computer monitor/ mobile device settings and other external factors beyond our control. We cannot guarantee that the style, colour, texture or size of the product will match that which you see on (or perceive from) the Platform.

Delivery of your Order

  • Your order will not be dispatched until we receive payment in full for the Order.

All defective goods must be returned to us within a reasonable time in full with their accompanying packaging. You will be liable for the postage and the safe return of the items to us where the goods are to be returned to us. However we may, at our discretion, choose to refund you for the packaging in the case of faulty items.
  • This paragraph does not apply if the goods are subject to consumer guarantees imposed under the Australian Consumer Law — where consumer guarantees apply.
