Payment methods
Payment for orders placed through this site may be made:
- by credit card processed online using secure Stripe payment gateway;

Stripe secure payment gateway
The Company uses the third-party payment gateway provided by Stripe Payments Australia Pty Ltd (ABN 66 160 180 343) trading as “Stripe” for its secure online payment transactions. Payments made through Stripe are subject to Stripe’s own terms and conditions and privacy policy. For more information about Stripe, see the Stripe website (http://www.stripe.com/).
Unless you expressly consent otherwise, we do not see or have access to any personal information that you may provide to Stripe, other than information that is required in order to process your order and deliver your purchased items to you (eg, your name, email address and billing address).
By submitting billing details (including credit card details and bank account details) to Stripe, you acknowledge and agree that:
- where applicable, those billing details may be retained by Stripe in accordance with their policies in effect at the time of payment;
- Stripe is authorised to charge your nominated payment source, without further notice to you, for amounts due in connection with your account and use of the Company’s services; and
- you will pay, on demand, any costs or expenses incurred by Stripe or us in relation to such amounts (such as merchant, dishonour, interest and over drawing fees); and
- Stripe is a third party and the Company is not liable for any loss or damage caused by Stripe, and you must liaise with Stripe directly in relation to any dispute arising in connection with payments and fees.
Credit and debit card payments
All major credit cards and debit cards are accepted. Please note that we may be unable to accept credit cards issued by banks outside of Australia in some cases. Additional transaction fees may apply if paying by credit card, in which case the additional charges will be specified at checkout.
Payment by EFT
If you elect to pay for an order by direct deposit using EFT, after your order has been submitted, we will send you an email containing instructions for making the payment, or otherwise provide such information to you, including our bank account details and the reference number for your order. Please quote the reference number for the EFT transaction in order to avoid delays in processing your order.
Refunds and other remedies
Except as expressly provided otherwise in these Website Terms of Use, all amounts paid through this site are non-refundable. Further information on the steps that the Company will take to remedy any breach of any non-excludable condition or warranty/guarantee is provided under the heading “Remedies limited” in these Website Terms of Use below. For more information about obtaining refunds from third party suppliers, see the paragraphs headed “Refunds from suppliers” in these Website Terms of Use below.
Security
While our website hosting providers employ secure technology for transactions with our customers, we will not be responsible for any damages, including consequential losses (whether direct or indirect), that may be suffered by a customer whose credit or debit card or bank account information is used in a fraudulent or unauthorised manner by any person other than the Company.
The Company may request further information from you, such as a copy of your credit card and/or other identification documentation, as part of our internal validation procedures. These procedures help protect bank and credit card account holders from online fraud. Until your order has passed our internal fraud prevention checks, your order will remain on pending status. If further information is requested and you do not provide the requested information within such time as the Company considers appropriate at its discretion, your order will be cancelled and, if your payment has been received, it will be refunded back to you.
