Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides us with the e-commerce platform to sell our products and services to you.

Section 1: Online Store Terms

By agreeing to these Terms, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you are the age of majority and you have given us consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use this site.

You may not use our products for any illegal or unauthorised purpose, nor may you violate any laws in your jurisdiction in the use of our Services.

You must not transmit any worms or viruses or any code of a destructive nature. A breach or violation of any of the Terms will result in immediate termination of your Services.

Section 2: General Conditions

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.

You understand that your content (not including credit card information), may be transferred unencrypted and involve transmissions over various networks and changes to conform to technical requirements. Credit card information is always encrypted during transfer over networks.

You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, or exploit any portion of the Service, use of the Service, or access to the Service without express written permission by us.

The headings used in this agreement are included for convenience only and will not limit or otherwise affect these Terms.

Section 3: Accuracy, Completeness & Timeliness of Information

We are not responsible if information on this site is not accurate, complete, or current. The material on this site is provided for general information only and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for making decisions without consulting more accurate, more complete or more timely sources of information.

This site may contain historical information, which is provided for reference only. We reserve the right to modify the contents of this site at any time, but we have no obligation to update any information. You agree that it is your responsibility to monitor changes to our site.

Section 4: Modifications to Service and Prices

Prices for our products are subject to change without notice.

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Service (or any part thereof) without notice at any time.

We shall not be liable to you or to any third-party for any modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.

Section 5: Products or Services

Certain products or services may be available exclusively online through the website. These products may have limited quantities and are subject to return or exchange only according to our Refunds & Returns Policy.

We have made every effort to display product images as accurately as possible, but we cannot guarantee your device’s display of any colour will be accurate.

We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to limit the sales of our products or Services to any person, region, or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right case-by-case. We also reserve the right to limit the quantities of any products or Services that we offer. All descriptions of products or pricing are subject to change at any time without notice.

We do not warrant that the quality of any products, Services, information, or other material purchased or obtained by you will meet your expectations, or that any errors in the Service will be corrected.

Section 6: Accuracy of Billing and Account Information

We reserve the right to refuse any order. We may limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may apply to orders placed by the same account, payment method, or billing/shipping address.

In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time of the order.

You agree to provide current, complete and accurate account information for all purchases. You agree to promptly update your account details to ensure we can complete transactions and contact you if needed.

Section 7: Shipping Policy

We aim to dispatch orders within 1-2 business days. All parcels are shipped via Australia Post. Delivery timeframes are provided as guidelines only and may vary during peak periods or to rural/remote areas.

All Australian orders are shipped with signature required on delivery. This helps protect the quality and integrity of our products by preventing unnecessary exposure to heat or parcels being left unattended.

Please ensure your address details are correct at checkout. Orders returned to us due to incorrect addresses or being uncollected from the Post Office will incur a $5 processing fee. You may choose to:

  • Have the order re-sent (shipping + processing fee), or
  • Receive store credit (minus shipping and fees).

Uncollected Parcels

We are not responsible for orders that are uncollected from the Post Office. If a parcel is returned to us, we will attempt to contact you twice using the email address provided at checkout. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that this email account is active and monitored (including spam/junk folders).

If no response is received within 30 days, the order will be deemed fulfilled. In such cases, we may, at our discretion, offer store credit for the product value only (excluding shipping and processing fees).

Section 8: Discounts & Promotions

Discount codes must be applied at checkout and cannot be added retroactively. Promotional codes are subject to expiration dates, usage limits, and terms at the time of offer.

Bundle discounts are only valid if the full bundle is retained. Partial returns will be recalculated at individual item pricing.

We reserve the right to refuse service where codes are misused (e.g. multiple first-time codes).

Section 9: Third Party Links

Certain content, products and services available via our Service may include materials from third-parties.

Third-party links on this site may direct you to third-party websites not affiliated with us. We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy and we do not warrant and will not have any liability for any third-party materials or websites.

We are not liable for any harm or damages related to the purchase or use of goods, services, or content from third-party websites. Please review carefully the third-party’s policies before you engage in any transaction.

Section 10: User Comments, Feedback & Submissions

If, at our request, you send submissions (e.g. contest entries) or without a request you send ideas, suggestions, or other materials, you agree that we may, at any time, without restriction, edit, copy, publish, distribute, translate and otherwise use in any medium any comments you forward to us.

We are under no obligation (1) to maintain comments in confidence; (2) to pay compensation; or (3) to respond to comments.

We may, but have no obligation to, monitor or remove content we determine unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, pornographic, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.

You agree that your comments will not violate any third-party rights, contain unlawful material, or viruses. You may not use a false e-mail address or mislead us or third-parties.

You are solely responsible for any comments you make and their accuracy. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any comments posted by you or any third-party.

Section 11: Personal Information

Your submission of personal information through the store is governed by our Privacy Policy.

These Terms are effective unless and until terminated by either you or us. You may terminate these Terms at any time by notifying us or ceasing use of our site.

Our payment and refund policy
