Terms of service

OVERVIEW

Welcome to Birds of a Feather Play Project! The terms "we", "us" and "our" refer to Birds of a Feather Play Project. Birds of a Feather Play Project operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services in order to provide you, the customer, with a curated shopping experience (the "Services"). Birds of a Feather Play Project is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.

The below terms and conditions, together with any policies referenced herein (these "Terms of Service" or "Terms") describe your rights and responsibilities when you use the Services.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights and cover areas such as warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.

By visiting, interacting with or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or Privacy Policy, you should not use or access our Services.


SECTION 1 - ACCESS AND ACCOUNT

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or territory of residence, and you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use the Services on devices you own, purchase or manage.

To use the Services, including accessing or browsing our online store or purchasing any of the products or services we offer, you may be asked to provide certain information, such as your email address, billing, payment and shipping information. You represent and warrant that all the information you provide in our store is correct, current and complete and that you have all rights necessary to provide this information.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all of your account activity. You may not transfer, sell, assign or license your account to any other person.


SECTION 2 - OUR PRODUCTS

We have made every effort to provide an accurate representation of our products and services in our online store. However, please note that colours or product appearance may differ from how they appear on your screen due to the type of device you use to access the store and your device settings and configuration.

We do not warrant that the appearance of products purchased will be identical to how they are displayed on your device.

All descriptions of products are subject to change at any time without notice at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time and may limit the quantities of any products that we offer to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction on a case-by-case basis.

Nothing in this section excludes or limits any rights or consumer guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.


SECTION 3 - ORDERS

When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase. Birds of a Feather Play Project reserves the right to accept or decline your order where permitted by law. Your order is not accepted until Birds of a Feather Play Project confirms acceptance. We must receive and process your payment before your order is accepted.

Please review your order carefully before submitting it.

Orders may be cancelled for change of mind within 24 hours of purchase, provided preparation or packing of the order has not already begun. Once an order has entered preparation or packing, it can no longer be cancelled for change of mind.

In the event that we do not accept, make a change to, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you using the email address, billing information and/or phone number provided at the time the order was made.

Purchases are subject to our Refund Policy and your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

You represent and warrant that your purchases are for your own personal or household use and not for commercial resale or export.


SECTION 4 - PRICES AND BILLING

Prices, discounts and promotions are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a product or service will be the price in effect at the time the order is placed and will be set out in your order confirmation email.

Prices are displayed in Australian dollars (AUD). Where a product is advertised as including free standard shipping Australia-wide, no additional standard shipping charge will be added to that order. Any other applicable charges will be clearly displayed at checkout before you complete your purchase.

Prices posted in our online store may be different from prices offered through other sales channels. We may offer, from time to time, promotions on the Services that may affect pricing and that are governed by terms and conditions separate from these Terms. If there is a conflict between the terms for a promotion and these Terms, the promotion terms will govern.

You agree to provide current, complete and accurate purchase, payment and account information for all purchases made through our store. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address, credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.

You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you provide is true, correct and complete, (ii) you are duly authorised to use such credit card for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honoured by your credit card company, and (iv) you will pay charges incurred by you at the posted prices and any applicable charges disclosed before purchase.


SECTION 5 - SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

Delivery timeframes are estimates only and may be affected by Australia Post delays or events outside our reasonable control.

Wild Explorers adventures are dispatched twice each month, on the 15th and the last day of the month. Orders close at 5pm the day before each dispatch date. Orders placed after the cutoff will be included in the next scheduled dispatch.

Wild Explorers adventures are sent via Australia Post Large Letter and do not include tracking. Standard shipping is free Australia-wide.

Please ensure your delivery address is correct when placing your order. Address changes must be requested at least 48 hours before your scheduled dispatch date. We cannot guarantee that changes requested after this time can be made.

If an incorrect address was supplied and an order has already been dispatched, replacement and additional postage costs may be the customer's responsibility where permitted by law.

If your order has not arrived after a reasonable delivery period, please contact us so that we can assist. Where an adventure is considered lost in transit, we will arrange an appropriate remedy in accordance with our Refund Policy and your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
