The Contract will relate only to those Goods and Services confirmed in the Order Confirmation.

3.6 If we are unable to supply you with the Goods or Services requested in your Order for any reason, we will inform you of this by email and we will not process your Order. If you have already paid for the Goods or Services, we will refund you the full amount.

4.1 You may cancel the Contract and receive a refund, if you notify us in accordance with clause 4.2 within 3 business days of the date of the Order Confirmation.

5. Supply of Goods

5.1 Any descriptions, photographs or illustrations of Goods on the Site are published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods described in them.

5.2 We will supply the Goods to you in accordance with the specification for the Goods appearing on the Site at the date of your Order in all material respects.

5.3 We warrant to you that the Goods will be new (unless expressly advertised as being second hand), free from material defects, and of merchantable quality. We also warrant that we have the right to sell and transfer title in the Goods to you.

We may engage third party couriers to effect delivery of the Goods. We will use all reasonable endeavours to meet any delivery dates specified in the Order Confirmation, but any such dates are estimates only and we do give any assurance that they will be met.

Our couriers may contact you via SMS prior to delivery to provide you with different delivery options, including giving ‘authority to leave’ the item at the Delivery Location, or have delivery re-routed to a collection point. Alternatively, the courier may leave a card requesting your instructions on either re-delivery or collection from the carrier or a collection point.

If the courier deems the Delivery Location unsafe in their discretion, the Goods will be redirected to a collection point, redelivered in the next delivery run (where available) or returned back to us. If delivery or collection is delayed through your unreasonable refusal to accept delivery or if you do not (within two weeks of our first attempt to deliver the Goods to you) accept delivery or collect the Goods from the courier, then we may (without affecting any other right or remedy available to us) do either or both of the following:

(a) charge you for our reasonable storage fees and other costs reasonably incurred by us; or

(b) no longer make the Goods available for delivery or collection, and notify you that we are cancelling the applicable Contract, in which case we will refund to you any money paid to us (subject to clause 4), less our reasonable administration charges (including for attempting to deliver and then returning the Goods, and any storage fees and other costs).

5.7 It may not be possible for us to deliver to some locations. If we are unable to deliver to the Delivery Location which you nominate, we will inform you on Site, or alternatively use the contact details that you provide to us when you make your Order and arrange for cancellation of the Order or delivery to an alternative delivery address.
