Products are provided for personal, domestic and private use only.

If we reasonably believe that you are buying products from us with the intention of reselling them or in circumstances where it appears that bulk buying, reselling, drop-shipping or repeated orders for the same item/s are occurring, we may:

  1. refuse to accept your order; or
  2. cancel your order; or
  3. accept your order subject to agreeing additional or alternative terms with you (see below); and
  4. treat your order as though you are buying products in the course of your business.

We shall also charge you a reasonable handling fee for processing your return. Returns received after 7 days will not be processed.
  4. You will not be permitted to order products which are subject to promotions or special offers.

We reserve the right to vary these terms and conditions at any time but, in respect of any ordered goods, the terms and conditions which apply shall be those which the customer has accepted when an order has been placed.
