8. How to break up with us
8.1 Your rights to end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the Contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, and when you decide to end the Contract:
a) If you want to end the Contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see Clause 8.2;
b) If you have just changed your mind about the product, see Clauses 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the Cooling-Off Period (as defined in Clause 8.5 below), but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any Products;

If you are ending a Contract for a reason set out at (a) to (e) below the Contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any Products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
a) we have told you about an upcoming change to these Terms which you do not agree to (see clause 6.2);
b) we have told you about an error in the price or description of the Product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed (see Clause 12.2);
c) there is a risk that supply of the Products may be substantially delayed because of events outside our control (see Clause 7.3);
d) we have suspended supply of the Products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 14 days (See Clause 7.9); or
e) you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
8.3 Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). For most Products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within the Cooling-Off Period (as defined in Clause 8.5) and receive a refund. This right does not apply in respect of the Products set out in Clause 8.4
8.4 When you don’t have the right to change your mind. You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:
a) Products that have been personalised or monogrammed; or
b) Products that are sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes (for example, styling sprays and potions), once these have been unsealed after you receive them.
8.5 How long do I have to change my mind? You have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the Products (the Cooling-Off Period). This is unless your Products are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery of the Products to change your mind about the Products.
9. How to end the contract with us (including if you have changed your mind) and returning products
9.1 Tell us you want to end the Contract. To end the Contract with us, please let us know by doing one of the following:

9.3 When sending the Products to us, it is your responsibility to ensure that we receive the Products safely and securely to the delivery address stated on either the cancellation form or returns form or to any other address we have advised to you. We do not accept any responsibility for Products that are lost or damaged in the post and will not be required to refund you in the event of such circumstances, so we recommend that you use tracked post. In the circumstance where we send to you an exchange or replacement product prior to you sending the Product back to us, and thereafter we do not receive back the Product safely and securely, as provided for in this clause, we will have the right to charge you in full, for the exchange or replacement product sent to you.

In all other circumstances you must pay the costs of return.
9.5 How we will refund you. We will refund you the price you paid for the Products including standard delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.
9.6 Deductions from refunds if you change your mind during the Cooling-off Period. We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the Products, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. All returned Products need to be received in a resalable condition to be entitled for any refund. If you have received a promotional item in your order, the full contents need to be returned to qualify for a full refund. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the Products and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount on request by us.
9.7 When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible.

10.1 We may end the Contract if you break it. We may end the Contract for a Product at any time by writing to you if you breach your obligations under the Contract. This may apply, for example, if you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the Products to you or collect the Products from us.
10.2 You must compensate us if you break the contract. If we end the Contract in the situation set out in Clause 10.1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for Products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you a percentage of the price as compensation for the net costs we incur as a result of your breaking the Contract.

You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
b) These terms are not intended to exclude or limit the application of any statute (including but not limited to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (CCA) as amended from time to time and its Schedule 2, the Australian Consumer Law), where to do so would contravene that statute or cause a provision of these terms to be void. Any stated exclusion or limitation in these terms is only to the full extent permitted at law.
c) If you wish to exercise your legal right to have Products refunded,repaired or replaced, you must contact us and arrange for the Products to be returned to us as set out in clause 9.

12.2 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products we sell may be incorrectly priced on our Site.

If the Product’s correct price at your Order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your Order.
