Orders

Order constitutes offer

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

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

• notifies you in writing that your order has been accepted, at the time at which such notification is sent by the Company.

Suspension of Service

In the event that your account or services we provide to you are suspended for any reason, such as failure to make payment, or otherwise breaching the Website Terms of Service, any User Content, services, or other data, including but not limited to hosted content, will be maintained temporarily until destroyed without further reference to you. Services which are interrupted by failure to pay, or otherwise due to breaches of these Website Terms of Service will mean that you will be unable to access any data, User Content or hosted servers until such time as the service is reactivated. It is your responsibility to keep backups of all data, and the Company holds no responsibility for any data, User Content or other information being lost either due to external factors, or due to deletion as a result of service cancellation or suspension.

Prices

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

GST

Unless otherwise expressly stated, all amounts payable through your use of this site are expressed to be exclusive of Australian 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 processed online using the secure payment gateway or using a PayPal, Stripe or POLI Payments account.

PayPal, Stripe and POLI Payments secure payment gateways

The Company uses the third party PayPal payment gateway provided by PayPal Australia Pty Limited (ABN 93 111 195 389) for its secure online payment transactions. Payments made through PayPal are subject to PayPal’s own terms and conditions and privacy policy, links to which are provided from the PayPal checkout pages. For more information about PayPal, see the PayPal website (https://www.paypal.com.au).

The Company uses the third party Stripe payment gateway provided by Stripe Payments Australia Pty Ltd (ABN 66 160 180 343) for its secure online payment transactions. Payments made through Stripe are subject to their own terms and conditions and privacy policy, links to which are provided from the Stripe checkout pages. For more information about Stripe, see the Stripe website (https://stripe.com).

The Company uses the third party POLI Payment gateway provided by POLI Payments Pty Limited (ABN 73 105 393 664) for its secure online payment transactions.

Unless you expressly consent otherwise, we do not see or have access to any personal information that you may provide to third party payment gateways, other than information that is required in order to process your order and deliver your purchased items to you (e.g., your name, email address and billing address).

Credit and debit card payments

It is not necessary to have a PayPal or POLI Payments account in order to make a purchase on this site. Both PayPal and Stripe accepts all major credit and debit cards. Please note that we may be unable to accept credit cards issued by banks outside of Australia in some cases. The Company does not charge additional transaction fees for paying by credit card.

Refunds and other remedies

Except as expressly provided otherwise in these Website Terms of Service, 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 Service below.
Any refunded credit can only be credited to the account to which it originated, and cannot be transferred or otherwise credited against other alternative accounts.

Charge backs

Any disputes relating to charges must be reported directly to us within 30 days of the charge occurring. We will investigate any genuine mistakes and take steps to refund any payments that were made in error. However, should a disputed charge deemed valid by us be disputed to your financial institution by way of a charge back, you agree that an Administration Fee of AUD$220.00 (inc GST) plus the amount charged back will be immediately payable to the Company.

Security

While PayPal, Stripe, POLI Payments and our 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.
