Terms of Supply to Consumers

1. Introduction

1.1 These are the terms of sale for www.smiffys.com.au ("Website"). The Website is operated by Smiffy's Australia Pty Limited (ACN 137535696) trading as https://www.smiffys.com.au/ ("Smiffy's"), a limited company registered in Australia whose registered office is situated at Smiffy's Australia PTY Limited, c/- Shelfcom, Suite 1707, Level 17, Australia Square House, 264-278 George Street, Sydney, New South Wales, 2000.

1.2 Your purchase of any of the goods offered on this Website ("Goods") is subject to these terms and by placing an order for any goods you agree to be bound by them.

Use of your personal information submitted via the Website is governed by Smiffy's Privacy Policy.

2. Placing an Order

2.1 Goods may be ordered by clicking on the items you would like to purchase and then following the instructions which will appear on-screen. You may verify and correct any input errors in your order at any point until you submit your order to Smiffy's by clicking the "Confirm Order" button on the checkout page.

2.2 You will receive an email from Smiffy's acknowledging that Smiffy's has your order and providing you with an order reference number after you have placed an order. However, that does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to Smiffy's to buy Goods. All orders are subject to acceptance by Smiffy's. Smiffy's is not required to accept your order and may, in Smiffy's discretion, reject any order. Where Smiffy's accepts your order, Smiffy's will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an email that confirms that the Goods have been dispatched (Dispatch Confirmation). The contract will only be formed between you and Smiffy's in relation to the Goods ordered (Contract) when Smiffy's sends you the Dispatch Confirmation.

2.3 The Contract will relate only to those Goods whose dispatch Smiffy's has confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. Smiffy's will not be required to supply any other Goods which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Goods has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.

3. Information about Goods

3.1 Whilst Smiffy's has taken reasonable steps to represent Goods as accurately as possible through images on the Website, the detailing (such as colour and pattern etc.) you see will depend on your monitor and, as such, may not exactly reflect the actual detailing of Goods when you receive them.

3.2 Any information on the Website regarding sizing of goods is included as a guide only. If you are not sure about to the size of any goods you require, Smiffy's recommends that you contact Smiffy's before placing an order (see Contacting Smiffy's).

4. Delivery of order

4.1 Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is stated, then within a reasonable time, no longer than 30 days from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

4.2 Deliveries are made by Australia Post or Smiffy's nominated courier and take place on Monday to Friday, excluding bank and public holidays, normally within the hours of 8am and 5pm. Smiffy's cannot provide an exact time at which a delivery will take place. Please note that the courier may require deliveries to be signed for. Deliveries will be made to your door.

4.3 Your order will be delivered to the delivery address you provide when placing your order. Please note that orders cannot be delivered to PO box or similar addresses.

4.4 Goods comprised within the same order cannot be delivered to different addresses.

4.5 Please note that you must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the goods are destined. Smiffy's will not be responsible for any breach by you of any such laws.

5. Price and online payment

5.1 The price of Goods is as quoted on the Website from time to time.

5.2 Prices include applicable GST but exclude delivery costs, which will be added (as shown) to the entire amount due after you have chosen your delivery service.

5.3 Prices and delivery costs are liable to be changed at any time, but changes will not affect orders in relation to which Smiffy's has already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.

5.4 Payment for all orders has to be made by credit or debit card on the checkout page. Smiffy's accepts payment by most major credit and debit cards. Please note that, for security reasons, the statement address for the credit or debit card you use to pay has to be the same as the delivery address for the order.

5.5 Smiffy's will not charge your credit or debit card until Smiffy's dispatch your order.

5.6 You should be aware that online payment transactions are subject to validation checks by your card issuer and Smiffy's is not liable if your card issuer declines to authorise payment for any reason. Please note that it is possible your card issuer may charge you an online handling fee or processing fee for which Smiffy's is not liable.

5.7 The Website contains a large number of Goods and, despite Smiffy's best efforts, some of the Goods listed on the Website may not be priced correctly. Smiffy's will normally check prices as part of Smiffy's dispatch processes so that, where the correct price of Goods is less than Smiffy's stated price, Smiffy's will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Goods to you. However, if the correct price of Goods is higher than the price stated on Smiffy's Website, Smiffy's will, at Smiffy's discretion, either reject your order and inform you of such rejection, or contact you for instructions before dispatching the Goods.

6. Cancellation rights

6.1 You may cancel a Contract at any point before your order is delivered but no later than seven working days afterwards, beginning on the day after the Goods were delivered to you.

You must also return the Goods to Smiffy's within seven days of notifying Smiffy's of the cancellation, in the same condition in which you receive them (apart from the extent reasonably necessary for you to examine them), and at your own risk and cost. You are under a legal duty to take reasonable care of the Goods whilst you have possession of them. If you fail to comply with this duty, Smiffy's may have a right to claim the cost of any deterioration from you.

7.2 Smiffy's will normally refund any money received from you using the same method used by you to pay for your purchase.
