In these circumstances, we reserve the right to cancel any order placed, whether or not you have received an order confirmation in electronic or any other form, and will credit your credit card account with any amount that you have paid.

4.6 Orders being shipped outside of Australia may be subject to tax & duty charges when entering the destination country, which may delay the delivery. We have no control over the amount of these charges, as customs policies can vary widely. These charges must be paid by the recipient of the parcel. For further information on charges in your local area, we would recommend contacting your local customs office.

5 Delivery of Products

5.1 Delivery times in Australia will vary depending upon your location and the type of delivery services. We will deliver to locations outside of Australia (subject to any excluded territories as advised by us when you place your order), but deliveries to locations outside of Australia may be subject to extended delivery times.

5.2 Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive an email containing your tracking information. Please allow at least 24 hours for tracking to update with any information. You will be given an estimated delivery time using the tracking information provided by our shipping supplier. This is an estimate only. We do not guarantee delivery within this timeframe and we are not responsible for any loss or damage if the Product is not delivered within this timeframe.

5.3 We may require the person accepting the delivery of your order to provide us with proof of that person’s identity (including photographic identification) and, where relevant, age.

If we are unable to deliver to your location, we will inform you on the relevant product page, or alternatively use the contact details that you provide to us when you make your order and arrange for cancellation of the order or delivery to an alternative delivery address.

5.7 All risk in the Product shall pass to you upon delivery. If delivery is delayed because you are not available at the delivery address to accept the delivery, risk shall pass at the date when delivery would have occurred. From the time when risk passes to you, we will not be liable for loss or destruction of the Product.

6 Repair and Return

6.1 Our Repair and Returns Policy set out in this clause 6 is in addition to your statutory rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. 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.

6.2 Once you receive the Product, we recommend you immediately check it to ensure whether there is a problem with the Product. In the unlikely event that there is a problem with your Product, you should notify us as soon as possible at [email protected] so that we can consider your concerns and the appropriate next steps. We will ask for the order number and a full detailed description of the problem, and possibly ask you for supporting photographic evidence. Please do not attempt to return a Product before speaking to us (as you may be responsible for associated expenses where your Product is found not to be in breach of warranty or in breach of any statutory rights that you may have).

6.3 If a Product is faulty, not doing what it is supposed to do, is unsafe or is significantly different from its description/sample, then you may be eligible for a replacement, exchange, repair or refund (where applicable). If a Product has a minor defect, we may provide a repair within a reasonable time. If we cannot repair the Product within a reasonable time, then you can choose a replacement, refund or store credit. If the Product is assessed as having a major failure you may choose to return the product and receive a refund or an VBreathe product credit or receive an identical replacement (or one of similar value if reasonably available to us).

6.4 It is your responsibility to ensure that the Products are protected from damage or loss in transit. Returns that are damaged in transit may not be accepted and may be sent back to you and/or a refund refused. We recommend that you pay for tracking or product insurance.

6.5 Products returned for repair will be assessed and/or repaired within a reasonable time. You may be provided with an indicative repair time, which time may vary due to reasons beyond our control, including the availability of parts. We may supply refurbished Products rather than repair defective Products, or use refurbished parts in the repair of defective Products.

6.6 Where we agree to replace a Product, the replacement Product will be shipped to you at our expense after we have received your returned Product.

6.7 If a Product is replaced, your replacement Product becomes your property and the returned Product becomes our property. When a refund is given, the returned Product becomes our property.

6.8 Products that are damaged as a result of normal wear and tear, misuse, failure to take reasonable care or failure to use in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions are not considered to be faulty.
