3. Order Process
3.1 The Customer must be over 18 to place an order via our website or by phone or instore. An order constitutes a binding offer by the Customer to purchase the specific Goods, but is not binding on the Company until it is formally accepted.

3.3 The Company formally accepts the Customer’s offer either by delivering the Goods or sending confirmation via email, SMS or post that the Goods have been dispatched.
3.4 The Company may refuse to accept or fulfil any order in its absolute discretion, including without limitation where:
-
there is a pricing or descriptive error when the order is placed;
-
the Customer’s payment is refused or credit facility is revoked;
-
the Company does not have sufficient stock to deliver the Goods;
-
the Company does not offer delivery to the nominated shipping address or has other concerns with the address provided.
3.5 Where an offer is refused, the Company is not obliged to offer any compensation for loss or disappointment suffered by the Customer. The Company will, however, issue a full refund of any payment collected.
3.6 The Company will take all reasonable care to keep the Customer’s order and payment details secure, but will not be liable for any loss the Customer may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to their personal details.
4. Payment

4.2 The Company accepts payment by cash, debit card, credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), bank transfer and any other method it deems acceptable.
4.3 Unless the Company accepts in writing payment of a deposit and the balance owing at a later date, in respect of all orders, payment of the total Price must be made when the order is placed and before Goods are dispatched or collected and/or services are rendered. This clause may be satisfied by obtaining credit approval with an authorised credit provider. To submit an application for credit, please email info@bedtimestore.com.au.

Our nominated couriers will not carry the Goods beyond your front door and it is your responsibility to take the Goods inside. Once an order is dispatched, the shipping address cannot be changed.
6.3 The Company will take all reasonable steps to meet the estimated timeframe for delivery. However, the date for delivery is an estimate only. Many factors (some of which are beyond the Company’s control) can affect these timeframes. The Company reserves the right to amend the estimated timeframe for delivery without notice.
6.4 Customers must inform the Company of any special instructions relevant to delivery at the shipping address (such as gate codes, access restrictions, flights of stairs or gravel driveways).
6.5 The Customer may incur additional fees for alternative delivery arrangements including without limitation failed delivery attempts, a failure to provide proper access instructions or a change to the shipping address after dispatch.
6.6 Upon delivery or collection, the Customer must inspect the Goods and check for correctness of condition, quality, quantity, colours, patterns and sizes prior to installation or use. Subject to the Customer’s rights under Australian law, the Customer will be deemed to have accepted the Goods unconditionally on delivery or collection.

If the Customer is physically unable to participate in any troubleshooting, they agree to find another person is capable and can carry out instructions by the Company.
7.5 The Company is entitled to repair any defect covered by warranty as it deems fit and in satisfaction of its liability. The Company will charge a standard call out fee for any in-home repair of Goods after the first 12 months of purchase (or within the first 12 months if the Goods are not in fact damaged or faulty).
7.6 If the Company is unable to repair the Goods, the Company will replace the Goods with an equivalent product. If the Company is unable to replace the Goods, the Company may, at its sole discretion, offer a full or partial refund of any monies paid for the Goods to the Customer. A refund will not be processed until the Goods have been received by the Company.
