- We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours and images of the products that appear in the Store. However, due to photographic and screen limitations associated with the representation of products, some actual products may differ to a small extent in visual appearance (for example, in colour) from the way they appear on the Website.
-
ORDER AND PROVISION OF SERVICE
- When you make an Order, you must follow the instructions on the Website as to how to make your Order and for making changes to your Order before you submit it.
- When you make an Order, you are responsible for the accuracy of your account and other information, including, for example, your delivery address, email address, and credit card numbers and expiration dates. You agree to promptly update any relevant information so that we may accept your Orders and contact you as needed.
- You must pay for an Order in full at the time of ordering by one of the payment methods we accept on the Website. You must be fully entitled to use the payment method used for purchases. We are not responsible for the decisions of payment providers to allow you to use their service, or provide any warranties or assurances about them.
- The full price for the Order will be the price of the product(s), including Goods and Services Tax ("GST") and any other charges, including any insurance costs (if selected by you) and charges you are liable for in order to have the products delivered to the address you have provided to us. Unless otherwise stated, all prices are in Australian dollars.
- When you make an Order, you expressly authorise us, before accepting your Order, to perform credit and security checks and, where we feel necessary, to transmit or to obtain information (including any updated information) about you to or from third parties from time to time, including but not limited to your credit card number to validate your credit card, to obtain an initial credit card authorisation, to conduct loss minimisation and anti-fraud measures and to authorise individual purchase transactions.
- When you place an Order, you will receive from us an Order confirmation by email (Order Confirmation). The Order Confirmation will only be an acknowledgement and will not constitute our acceptance of your Order. A contract between us for the purchase of the product(s) (Contract) will not be formed until you receive a shipping confirmation email from us (Shipping Confirmation Email). We are not obliged to supply the product(s) to you until we have accepted your Order. We may in our discretion refuse to accept an Order from you for any reason, including but not limited to:
- the unavailability of stock;
- we suspect that you might act in a manner inconsistent with the Terms including, but not limited to, clause 2;
- if we are unable to deliver to your specified delivery address;
- if we suspect your Order is fraudulent, or suspect credit card or payment-related fraud; or
- if there has been an error in the imagery, price or product description on the Website.
- If you cancel your Order before we enter into the Contract, or if we refuse to accept your Order, we will promptly refund any payment already made by you to your original payment method. If we refuse to accept your Order, neither you nor us will be under any further obligation to the other arising out of your Order or our non-acceptance of that Order. We are not required to give reasons for rejecting your Order.
-
DELIVERY
- We provide the Service and arrange for the delivery of the product(s) within the Australian community and globally including (but not limited to) the USA, UK, Europe and Asia.
- We do not have control over international customs or international postal operations. You should check with your country's customs offices and consider any additional costs that might be associated with the delivery of an Order to you. We are not responsible for payment of any such costs.
- We will endeavour to deliver an Order by the date indicated in the Shipping Confirmation Email. Nevertheless, you may experience delays in delivery for reasons including, for example, the size of your Order and a large volume of orders being received by us during sale periods, holidays or the occurrence of unforeseen circumstances.
- By default, you provide authority to leave items at the address specified in the Order, unless you provide delivery instructions in your Order or the delivery driver deems the area unsafe in their discretion. If the delivery driver deems the area unsafe in their discretion, they will provide notice to you of how to collect your product(s).
- A "delivery" shall have taken place or an Order shall be deemed "delivered" as soon as you or a third party indicated by you acquires physical possession of the product(s), which will be evidenced by the receipt of the order at your specified delivery address or the collection of the product(s) by you or a third party indicated by you.
- Subject to clause 4.7, unless otherwise specified, all risk in the product shall pass to you upon delivery. From the time when risk passes to you, we will not be liable for loss, damage or destruction of the product(s).
- In the case of artwork, unless otherwise specified, all risk in the product(s) shall pass to you upon shipment to you. From the time when risk passes to you, we will not be liable for loss, damage or destruction of the product(s). You may be presented with the option at the time you place an Order to purchase insurance with respect to the delivery of your product(s). You are responsible for determining whether or not to purchase insurance, which insurance is governed by the separate terms and conditions provided to you.
- Title in the product(s) shall not pass to you until payment has been received in full in accordance with clause 3.
- Please contact us at shipping@fish.asn.au if you have any delivery related queries.
-
CANCELLATION
- We may terminate a Contract if the product is not available for any reason. If we terminate the Contract, we will return any payment that you have made by you to your original payment method.
- If you wish to cancel your Order, you may do so prior to receipt of the Shipping Confirmation Email by contacting shipping@fish.asn.au.
-
DAMAGE AND ISSUES
- Please inspect your Order upon delivery and contact us immediately if the item is faulty, damaged or defective so that we can evaluate the issue and remedy it where applicable. For more information, please see clauses 7 and 8.
-
RETURNS
- If a product has been delivered to you in a faulty, damaged or defective state, you must contact us within seven (7) days after the delivery of your product.
- Please contact us at shipping@fish.asn.au to guide you through the returns process and help resolve the problem as quickly as possible. You may be asked to provide information to support your claim and to assist us, or the relevant third party merchants, suppliers and/or product manufacturers, to assess your claim, which may include:
- reasonable proof of purchase;
- reasonable proof of delivery;
- image(s) of the fault, damage or defect; and
- a description of your claim.
- Once we have been provided with the information necessary to assess your claim, or to allow the relevant third party to undertake that assessment, we, or they, will determine the nature of the problem and how to help you. The remedy available to you will be in line with your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. These rights are set out below in clause 8.
- A product shall not be deemed faulty, damaged or defective if, in our, or the relevant third party's, reasonable opinion, the product has become faulty, damaged or defective after the product was delivered (or after the product was shipped, in the case of artwork) as a result of fair wear and tear; your, or a third party's, negligence, misuse, tampering, failure to use the product in accordance with manufacturer's instructions, use of the product in an abnormal way, or failure to take reasonable care.
- If your claim is accepted, we will send to you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how and where to send your package. If the product is sent to us without the process outlined in clauses 1 to 7.4, the return will not be accepted.
- For the avoidance of doubt we will not accept the return of or provide an exchange of, or provide a refund in respect of, products where:
- you do not have reasonable proof of purchase;
- you have changed your mind;
- you have ordered the wrong product;
- you have found the product cheaper elsewhere; or
- you were aware of the relevant fault, damage or defect before buying the product.
- Certain products cannot be returned, including (but are not limited to) perishable goods, such as food, flowers or plants, hazardous materials, such as flammable liquids or gasses, gift cards or vouchers, personal care or hygiene products, altered or custom products. In the event that you have a valid claim under these clauses 7 and 8 or the Returns Policy [insert link], you may be entitled to a refund or replacement.
Please contact us at shipping@fish.asn.au if you are unsure whether your product is a non-returnable product.
- All sales of artwork are final. We only accept returns for refund or exchange for items damaged prior to shipment to you. Given the nature and value of artwork purchased from us, it is expected that you will undertake a detailed evaluation of the artwork upon delivery and contact us at shipping@fish.asn.au within seven (7) business days of delivery to alert us of any damage. If your claim is accepted, we will provide you with a shipping number and arrange collection of the artwork from the delivery address. Upon receipt of the damaged artwork, we will ship out to you a replacement, if available. If a replacement is not available, we will refund the full purchase price of your artwork. For the avoidance of doubt, clause 7 applies to the extent that any damage occurred during transit.
-
EXCHANGES AND REFUNDS
- The products provided to you are subject to certain consumer guarantees found in the Australian Consumer Law which cannot be excluded. In the unlikely event that you receive products from us that do not comply with the consumer guarantees, we will provide you with an appropriate remedy.
- A 'major failure' under the Australia Consumer Law includes where the product is significantly different from the description or where the product is unfit for its normal purpose and cannot easily be made fit. Where a product has a major failure, you can return it and receive a refund or exchange, and compensation for any other reasonable foreseeable loss or damage. If you are of the view that a product provided to us suffers from a major failure, you should contact us immediately at shipping@fish.asn.au.
- A 'minor failure' under the Australian Consumer Law includes where the product can be fixed within a reasonable time and is not a major failure. Where a product has a minor failure, you can return it and, at first instance, we will arrange for the third party merchants, suppliers and/or product manufacturers to repair the item, otherwise you may receive an exchange. If you are of the view that a product provided to us suffers from a major failure, you should contact us immediately at shipping@fish.asn.au.
- A refund under the Australian Consumer Law is generally only available where the product is subject to a major failure or is in a re-saleable condition. Where a refund is to be provided, a refund will be made to your original payment method.
