Emani Australia Website & Online Store Terms
Effective: 5 December 2020.
- Introduction
These Terms apply to your use of our website and to the placement and fulfilment of Orders.
By continuing to use this website, or placing an Order with us, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not accept these Terms, you must not continue to use this website or place any Order with us.
These Terms supersede and take precedence over any prior agreements, negotiations, conversations or undestandings in relation to their subject matter.
- Orders
This section relates to placement and fulfilment of Orders.
- Orders form separate contracts
Each Order you place (subject to our acceptance) will form a separate contract between you and us. These Terms are incorporated into and form part of the terms of each Order placed.
If the contract for a specific Order is terminated, these Terms will continue to apply to all other Orders you have placed prior to that time or place in the future, and to your use of this website.
- How to place an Order
All Orders for products must be placed through our online shopping cart available on our website.
By placing an Order, you represent and warrant to us that:
- all information provided with the Order, such as name, delivery address, email address and contact details are complete, true and correct;
- you have full legal capacity, legal majority and authority to acquire property and to be bound by these Terms;
- you are the account holder, or authorised user, of any payment method tendered by you as payment for the Order; and
- you are acquiring the products specified in your Order for personal or domestic use only, and not for the purposes of resale or commercial use.
You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to ensure that all Order details, including delivery address, contact details and ordered products are complete, correct and accurate prior to placing an Order. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we do not accept responsibility for errors, non-delivery or other loss, damage or failure in respect of your Order where you have provided us with incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate information.
- When you may cancel or amend an Order
You may request cancellation or amendment of an Order by giving us notice prior to dispatch. Please note that we endeavour to dispatch Orders within 2 business days after receiving payment. Accordingly, we can only consider cancellation or amendment requests that are received by email during business hours on the same day that the Order is placed. If same-day dispatch is applied to your Order, the request for cancellation or amendment must be received within 1 hour after placement of the Order.
Once dispatch has occurred, you may not cancel or amend an Order unless we otherwise agree.
If we agree to allow you to cancel or amend an Order under this clause, you agree to indemnify us and our Related Parties against any loss we incur as a result of the cancellation or amendment, including but not limited to any payment processing charges, postal/delivery charges, or postal/delivery retrieval costs, incurred by us. We reserve the right to offset such amounts against, or deduct them from, any amounts otherwise refundable by us.
- When we may reject, cancel or amend your Order
All Orders are subject to acceptance by us in accordance with these Terms. We reserve the right to reject any Order for any reason at our discretion.
In addition to any other rights or discretions we may have, we may reject, cancel or amend your Order by giving you notice if:
- we determine that a product included in your Order (Ordered Product) has been incorrectly advertised, including where the Ordered Product is advertised for an incorrect price or with an incorrect product description or specification;
- we determine that an Ordered Product has been discontinued by our suppliers and existing stock has been depleted;
- we determine that there is, or is likely to be, a shortage of stock for an Ordered Product, and that there is likely to be a significant delay in replenishing stock of the Ordered Product;
- an Ordered Product becomes subject of a voluntary or mandatory recall;
- you Order what we determine to be unreasonable, excessive or commercial quantities of any Ordered Product;
- we are unable to fulfil all or part of your Order due to restrictions imposed on us, including by an Uncontrollable Event, or we otherwise determine that it would be unlawful for us to fulfil your Order;
- your Order is incomplete or incorrect, or we determine you have provided false, misleading or fraudulent information with your Order;
- you die, are determined to be bankrupt or insolvent, or otherwise lose your legal capacity, prior to the fulfilment of your Order;
- a payment in relation to your Order is cancelled, denied, charged-back or dishonoured;
- where payment is not made at the time of placing an Order, full payment is not received by us within 2 business days (or such longer period as we may allow) after the placement of an Order;
- an Order is returned to us as "undeliverable" or "delivery refused" (In such case, we may refund the purchase price of the Order, less applicable delivery fees incurred).
If we reject, cancel or amend your Order other than due to your breach of these Terms, where applicable, we will contact you to arrange a replacement or substitute product, or a refund or store credit for the relevant amount paid by you.
If we reject, cancel or amend your Order due to your breach of these Terms, you agree to indemnify us (and our Related Parties) against any loss we incur as a result of the rejection, cancellation or amendment, including but not limited to any payment processing charges, postage/delivery charges, or postage/delivery retrieval costs, incurred by us. We reserve the right to offset such amounts against, or deduct them from, any amounts otherwise refundable by us.
- Backordering & out-of-stock policy
If one or more Ordered Products is out-of-stock, we may:
- suspend your entire Order until stock of the Ordered Product(s) becomes available; or
- dispatch part of your Order and suspend the remaining part of your Order until stock of the Ordered Product(s) becomes available; or
- offer to amend your Order to substitute the Ordered Product(s) with an available alternative product; or
- offer to cancel the Order in respect of the Ordered Product(s) and issue a refund or store credit for the relevant purchase price.
- Price changes due to amendment or cancellation of Orders
If we offer, and you accept, an amendment or cancellation to an Order that results in an increase to the price payable for the Order, you must pay the difference in price prior to dispatch of the Order or the balance of the Order, as applicable.
If the amendment or cancellation of an Order (other than due to your breach of these Terms) results in a decrease to the price payable, we will offer to refund or issue a store credit for the difference in price.
- Orders form separate contracts
- Dispatch & delivery
Postage/delivery charges (if applicable) for your selected delivery method will be calculated and displayed at the Order checkout.
Orders will be dispatched only after receipt of full payment in cleared funds for the Order. Unless we otherwise agree in writing, we are not obliged to dispatch any Order prior to receipt of full payment.
Title to the goods in your Order does not pass to you until receipt of full payment or dispatch of the Order, whichever is the last to occur.
Any quoted delivery timeframes are estimates only and are based upon information from our delivery service providers. We are unable to guarantee delivery of any Order by any given date. During peak periods, you should ensure that you allow additional time for delivery of your Order.
If an Order is returned to us as "undeliverable" or "delivery refused", we reserve the right to charge additional delivery fees if you request re-delivery of the Order.
Prior to dispatch we take care to ensure your goods are safely packaged to reduce the risk of damage in transit. However, all goods are at your risk from the point of dispatch of the Order. To the maximum extent permitted by law, and subject to any consumer law rights you may have, we will not accept liability for lost, delayed, damaged, stolen, returned, undeliverable, misdirected or misdelivered Orders.
Your Order will be taken to be delivered once left at your delivery address. You should ensure that there is a safe place to leave goods if the delivery address is unattended.
We recommend that you consider selecting delivery insurance and/or delivery tracking options (where available) to cover your Order against loss or damage whilst in transit.
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- store credits are valid for a period of 3 years from the date the store credit is issued, unless otherwise expressly stated;
- store credits are not transferrable to any other person unless we otherwise agree;
- store credits may be applied to the purchase of goods from our store, and (except where required by law) cannot be refunded or redeemed for cash; and
- the remaining value of any unused store credit will be forfeited upon expiry.
Gift Cards purchased from our store are valid for a period of 3 years from the date of issue, or such longer period as may be required by law, unless otherwise expressly stated.
The above expiry period does not apply to Gift Cards that are able to be reloaded or topped up, limited time only promotional Gift Cards, or Gift Cards for purchasing goods at a discount. The applicable expiry date will be stated on the Gift Card.
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- Gift Cards cannot be refunded or redeemed for cash; and
- the remaining value of any unused Gift Card will be forfeited upon expiry.
Gift Cards are highly negotiable and should be treated like cash. You should keep them secure in a safe place at all times. We are unable to replace lost, damaged or stolen Gift Cards.
- Your consumer law rights
This clause applies to you if you are deemed to be a "consumer" within the meaning of the ACL (or equivalent laws in your jurisdiction). This clause will continue to apply in respect of each Order, notwithstanding the termination or expiry of these Terms in respect of that Order.
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the ACL (or equivalent laws in your jurisdiction).
You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage.
You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
To the extent that our goods are supplied with any express warranties or guarantees, those warranties or guarantees will apply in addition to your consumer law rights.
- Warranty claims & returns policy
If you believe you are entitled to make a claim under your consumer law rights, or under an express warranty or guarantee, we ask that you contact us prior to returning any goods.
Prior to providing you with a refund or replacement, we may ask you to provide sufficient details or evidence of your claim, such as providing us with proof of purchase, Order details, or photographs of the relevant product(s).
Subject to your consumer law rights, if you return the relevant products to us for assessment of your claim, you will be responsible for the cost of return postage. If we determine you have a valid claim, you may be entitled to claim the cost of return postage subject to providing us with suitable proof of payment for those costs.
Please note that we are not required to offer a refund or replacement because you:
- got what you Ordered, but simply changed your mind, found the goods cheaper somewhere else, decided you did not like the goods, or had no use for the goods;
- misused the goods in any way that caused the problem; or
- knew of, or were made aware of, any faults before you bought the goods.
To the extent permitted by law, we are not able to offer refunds or exchange on products purchased via third-party suppliers or distributors, such as other online stores or marketplaces.
This clause will continue to apply in respect of each Order, notwithstanding the termination or expiry of these Terms in respect of that Order.
- Limitation of liability
Subject to any consumer law rights you may have, where you acquire goods or services other than those of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, household or domestic use or consumption, our liability for the failure to meet a statutory guarantee or any other warranty or guarantee that is implied into these Terms is limited to:
- in relation to goods:
- the replacement of the relevant goods or the supply of equivalent goods;
- the repair of the relevant goods;
- the payment of the cost of replacing the relevant goods or of acquiring equivalent goods; or
- the payment of the cost of having the goods repaired.
- in relation to services:
- the supplying of the relevant services again; or
- the payment of the cost of having the relevant services supplied again.
- in relation to goods:
Except where consumer law rights apply, to the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability for any claim arising from your use of this website, including but not limited to claims, whether arising under contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, for direct, indirect, consequential, special or punitive loss or damages of any kind, legal costs, loss of income, loss of profit, or loss of data whatsoever.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any loss or damage arising due to the ocurrence of an Uncontrollable Event, including as a result of delay, frustration or prevention of performance of our obligations under these Terms due to such Uncontrollable Events.
This clause will continue to apply in respect of each Order, notwithstanding the termination or expiry of these Terms in respect of that Order.
