Eligibility to purchase

In order to make a purchase through the Site, you will be required to register and provide your personal details. In particular, you must provide your real name, phone number, email address and other requested information as indicated. Furthermore, when ordering items, you will be required to provide payment details and guarantee that the payment details you provide on ordering are both valid and correct and that you are the person referred to in the billing information provided.

Acceptance of Your Order

You may place an Order by filling in the Order Form on the Site and clicking the "Submit My Order" button. Once you have made your choice and your Order has been placed, you will receive an email acknowledging the details of your Order. This email is NOT an acceptance of your Order, just a confirmation that we have received it.

By placing an Order, you make an offer to us to purchase the Products you have selected based on these T&C's. Information contained on the Site constitutes an invitation to treat. No information on our Site constitutes or should be deemed as an offer by us to supply any Products; however we will make every effort to supply Products to you. We will notify you that your Order is being processed by sending you an Order Confirmation and tax invoice via email; however, we do not formally accept your offer until your Order has passed our internal validation procedures for verifying the bona fides of each Order placed, for the purpose of preventing credit card or payment fraud. We and our affiliates reserve the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content, or cancel Orders in our sole discretion. We will confirm acceptance of your Order when we send you an email confirming shipment of the Products you have ordered. If we cannot process or accept your Order after payment is received we will contact you by email or telephone.

We reserve the right not to accept your Order if we are unable to obtain authorisation for payment, the Product ordered is out of stock or does not satisfy our quality control standards and is withdrawn, or if you do not meet the eligibility criteria set out within the T&C's.

We may also refuse to process and therefore accept a transaction for any reason or refuse service to anyone at any time at our discretion. We will not be liable to you or any third party by reason of our not accepting an Order, withdrawing any merchandise from the Site, removing or editing content on the Site; refusing to process a transaction; or suspending any transaction after processing has begun.

Payment Methods and Processing

We currently accept PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, Direct Deposit and Afterpay (subject to Afterpay’s own credit limits on value of purchases). We process payments after you click the "Submit My Order" button. Orders placed on a weekend or a Public holiday will be payment processed immediately but filling of the Order will not occur until the next business day, except during busy promotional periods where your order may take longer to dispatch. Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding Victorian Public holidays. We will email a tax invoice to you with your Order Confirmation. Your tax invoice is your proof of purchase subject to payment being received by us. Payments will be debited and cleared from your account upon placing of your Order. By making a payment you confirm that the credit/debit card that is being used is yours or that you have been specifically authorised by the owner of the credit/debit card to use it. All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery. Any coupon codes, for example free shipping or discount offers, are valid at the time of order placement only and must be entered in correctly at the relevant point in the payment process for you to be eligible for the offer promoted by the coupon. Coupon offers will not be valid or honoured on Orders successfully placed without using the relevant or correct code. Payments made by direct deposit will be subject to an additional business day for processing to ensure funds are cleared.

We take all reasonable care to make our Site secure. All credit card transactions on this Site are processed using a secure online payment gateway that encrypts your card details in a secure host environment.

To help ensure that your shopping experience is safe, simple and secure we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. When ordering your information will be encrypted by SSL certificate ensuring your data and payment is securely handled by our systems. We use industry standard for encryption technology to protect your online order information. SSL encrypts all information including your credit card and all personal information passed from you to us. Encryption provides you with security and peace of mind when your browser and local network supports the use of encrypted data transmissions.

We will take all reasonable care to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Site unless that access was made possible by our negligence.

Please Note:

We do not provide lay-by facilities for online purchases.

We are unable to accept credit cards issued by banks outside of Australia.

Debit cards and credit cards have daily spending limits that may substantially delay the processing of your order, if exceeded.

You may be required to provide further identification and information for additional security reference checks.

Security checks

We do not formally accept your offer until your Order has passed our internal validation procedures for verifying the bona fides of each Order placed. We may run security checks for the purpose of preventing credit card or payment fraud. Security checks may be conducted by telephone, by email or by a combination of both. As part of a security check we will require you to provide further verification of your credit card and your identification. If you do not agree to undergo a security check you may choose to process your payment through PayPal instead or you may have your order cancelled and refunded. We maintain absolute discretion to cancel and refund your Order if you refuse to undergo any part of a security check.
