If you do not agree to any of the T&Cs, you must not use the Network.

 

We reserve the right to revise, change or modify these T&Cs at any time by posting new T&Cs on the Network. You are bound by any such revisions and should therefore visit the T&Cs each time you visit the Network to review the current T&Cs by which you must abide.

We use a third party payment gateway in relation to the receipt and payment of all Fees.  We have no responsibility for your actions or inactions once you make a payment via the third party, or agree to accept a payment from us via the third party payment gateway, or the actions or lack of actions by the third party payment gateway, other than as stated in these T&Cs.

We will provide you with order details, which may include an order number, the shipping and billing addresses and a description of what was ordered when you order and pay on the Network and your payment has been validated.

You must pay for Goods and Services ordered by you by one of the methods set out on our Network and via a third party payment gateway. You must not pay, or attempt to pay, for Goods and Services ordered by you through any fraudulent or unlawful means.

 

All purchases are subject to availability. We do our best to keep in stock most of Goods and Services and to keep the Network up to date with the availability of Goods and Services.

 

If there is a considerable delay in dispatching your order, or if for any reason we cannot supply Goods and Services ordered by you when you have ordered them, we will contact you using the contact details provided by you when you placed the order to work out the best way to proceed under the circumstances.  We reserve the right to delay sending you your order if we deem it necessary or for any other reason.

Title of Goods and Services ordered by you will remain with us until you have paid us the Fees in full in accordance with these T&Cs. Until title passes, you must not do anything which seeks to create an encumbrance, lien, charge or other interest on or over Goods and Services ordered by you.

 

Risk of loss, damage or deterioration to any Goods and Services ordered by you will pass to you once the Goods and Services leave our possession to be sent by us to you. Once risk in the Goods and Services passes, you will be solely responsible for the Goods and Services. We do not provide refunds if the Goods and Services have been delayed.

 

We may from time to time offer promotional discount codes, which may be applicable to certain Goods and Services on our Network. To claim the discount, you must enter the promotional discount code at the time of submitting your order on our Network. The conditions of use relating to any promotional discount code will be specified on our Network at the time it is issued.

If the parties do not resolve the Dispute within 21 days after receipt of the notice, the Dispute may be referred by either party (by notice in writing to the other party) to litigation.

 

  1. General

You warrant and represent that you have not relied on any term, undertaking, inducement or representation made by, or on behalf of, us which has not been expressly stated in these T&Cs.

 

Except as otherwise agreed in writing these T&Cs form the entire agreement between you and us and supersedes any prior agreement covering the same subject matter and any prior written or oral representations.

 

Any failure or delay in exercising a power or right (either wholly or partially) in relation to these T&Cs does not operate as a waiver or prevent a party from exercising that power or right or any other power or right. A waiver must be in writing.

 

If a provision of these T&Cs is held to be void, invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision must be read down as narrowly as necessary to allow it to be valid or enforceable.  If it is not possible to read down a provision (in whole or in part), that provision (or that part of that provision) is severed from these T&Cs without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remainder of that provision or the other provisions in these T&Cs.

 

If performance of these T&Cs or any obligation under these T&Cs is prevented, restricted or interfered with by reasons of Force Majeure and we are unable to carry out our obligations we will give you prompt written notice of such event, and then our obligations shall be suspended to the extent necessary by such event. We will use reasonable efforts under the circumstances to remove such prevention, restriction or interference or to limit the impact of the event on our performance and must continue to perform with reasonable dispatch when the Force Majeure is removed.

 

These T&Cs are governed by the laws of Victoria. You irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts operating in Victoria and any courts entitled to hear appeals from those courts and waive any right to object to proceedings being brought in those courts.
