All of these materials are deemed to be a part of, and incorporated into, these terms and conditions (collectively, "Terms and Conditions").

By accessing or using the Site (including placing an order for the purchase of Products through the Site), you are undertaking and acknowledging to Haircare New Zealand that you have read and understood these materials, and agree, without limitation or qualification, to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If this is not correct, or you do not agree to any aspect of these Terms and Conditions, please immediately leave the Site, and do not access or use it.

Purchases

Haircare New Zealand attempts to be as accurate as possible when describing its Products on the Site; however, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Haircare New Zealand does not warrant that the Product descriptions, colours, information or other any other aspect of the content available on the Site is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free.

The following terms and conditions apply to all orders ("Orders") for products available for purchase from Haircare New Zealand ("Products") that are placed through this Site.

a. Prices and Payments

All Product prices stated are in New Zealand Dollars, and unless otherwise expressly indicated, include GST but exclude handling and delivery charges. Handling and delivery charges will be calculated once you have selected your preferred delivery options and will be displayed on-screen for you at the checkout, just before you are asked to confirm and submit your Order. You agree to pay all GST, handling and delivery charges in respect of any Products you order.

Haircare New Zealand reserves the right to change or alter prices of Products without notice. The price payable by you for a Product will be the price applicable on the date you submit your Order.
The price payable for Orders, including all GST, handling and delivery charges ("Price") will be charged in full at the time an Order is placed. Payment must be cleared before Products will be dispatched by Haircare New Zealand for delivery.

You must pay for Products using a credit card of a type accepted by Haircare New Zealand, as indicated on the Site, Pin Payments. Haircare New Zealand does not accept cheque, money orders, cash, electronic funds transfers, or any other form of payment for Products. For security, if you pay by credit card, Haircare New Zealand requires that your billing name and address match that of the credit card used for payment, and reserves the right to cancel any Order which does not meet this requirement.

Haircare New Zealand uses the online payment gateway systems operated Southern Payments Systems Pty Ltd ACN 154 451 582 trading as Pin Payments (“Pin Payments System") to facilitate the making of payments through the Site. If you do not agree to use of the Pin Payments System you will be unable to purchase Products through the Site.  See Section (t) below for further information about processing of payments made through the Site.

b. Product Availability

All Products displayed on the Site have been included in good faith on the basis that the Products as described will be available at the time of sale.

If a Product is not in stock at the time of your Order, you will be notified this by email, and advised of the expected shipment date. Your Order will be fulfilled by Haircare New Zealand once new Product stock is received. You may at any time prior to shipment cancel an Order for a backordered item, as specified in Section (f) below and a refund for the Price of the Product will be made to you.

From time to time, Haircare New Zealand may make available certain new Products for advanced purchase. These Products will be dispatched as soon as they are available. Haircare New Zealand will keep you updated as to the status of any advance purchases of Products you make through the Site via email. Your Order will be fulfilled by Haircare New Zealand once stock of the new Product is received.

c. Orders

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to place an Order for Products with Haircare New Zealand. By submitting an Order, you warrant and represent that you are at least 18 years old.

The information available on the Site constitutes an invitation to treat, and does not constitute an offer by Haircare New Zealand to sell any Products to you. By submitting an Order for Products and making payment of the Price through the Site, you are making an Offer to Haircare New Zealand to purchase the Products selected for the Price paid, on these Terms and Conditions to the exclusion of all others. A contract between you and Haircare New Zealand, for the supply by Haircare New Zealand, and the purchase by you, of the Products selected in your Order will come into effect only once your Order has been accepted by Haircare New Zealand.

You acknowledge and agree that Haircare New Zealand will only be considered to have accepted your Order when it provides you with confirmation of receipt of your Order. If you do not receive such confirmation from Haircare New Zealand within 24 hours of placing your Order, your Order will be deemed to be rejected (except where non-receipt by you of a confirmation during this period is due a technical difficulty experienced by Haircare New Zealand), and Haircare New Zealand will refund to you the payment of the Price you have made in full. In the event that your Order is cancelled by Haircare New Zealand following acceptance, Haircare New Zealand will refund to you the payment you have made in full.

Haircare New Zealand reserves the right to refuse to accept Orders, or to cancel Orders once accepted, in its sole discretion. Haircare New Zealand will notify you if any Order you place is cancelled or rejected.
Please ensure that the delivery address and recipient details listed in your Order are accurate and complete, as Orders and details are unable to be changed once an Order has been placed. Haircare New Zealand will not accept responsibility for late delivery, or non-delivery, due to incomplete or incorrect details being provided.

d. Limits

In any single Order, you may purchase up to six (6) of any Product. At all times, the total value of any single Order for the purchase of Products you place must not exceed $750 (excluding GST and handling and delivery charges).

e. Delivery

Products are only available for delivery in New Zealand. Haircare New Zealand uses the services of New Zealand Post to deliver Products to you and accordingly, accepts no responsibility for late delivery, or your failure to receive Products which have been dispatched by Haircare New Zealand.

The amount of handling and delivery charges payable by you will depend upon the delivery option you select at the time of ordering Products, and will be charged to you in full at the time your Order is placed.
Risk in the Products will pass to you upon dispatch. Title to the Products will pass to you once your payment has been cleared and received by Haircare New Zealand.

Certain Products sold by Haircare New Zealand require special handling, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. These requirements affect the manner of delivery of these particular Products. Haircare New Zealand may therefore on occasion be unable to dispatch products for delivery to nominated addresses, and reserves the right to cancel Orders which are affected by the applicable requirements.

f. Returns and Cancellation of Orders

If at any time you are not completely satisfied with the Products ordered from Haircare New Zealand, simply return the unused and unopened portion of your Products to Haircare New Zealand by following the process set out below. Haircare New Zealand will be happy to exchange the items for other Products of your choice which have an equivalent purchase value to the returned Products.

To return and exchange Products, please (i) make a copy of your original invoice (and include your payment information on the back of the invoice if the total cost of your exchange will exceed the value of Products being returned) (ii) enclose this copy, together with the unused and unopened portion of your Products in your return parcel, which should be packed carefully to avoid damage in transit and (iii) address and send your parcel to Haircare New Zealand, Returns Department, Unit 0, 63 Hugo Johnston Drive, Penrose 1061, New Zealand.

For your protection, Haircare New Zealand recommends that all return parcels be insured and sent using a delivery method which can be tracked by you in the case of loss in transit. You are responsible for meeting the costs of returning Products to Haircare New Zealand for exchange, and risk in the Products being returned remains with you until they are received by Haircare New Zealand.

Unless the procedure set out in this Section is followed, (subject only to applicable law, and without affecting Section (o) below), Haircare New Zealand will not accept return of Products, and will not refund the Price of Products once purchased by you.

Once placed and accepted by Haircare New Zealand, Orders may cancelled by you at any time prior to the dispatch of Products to you by Haircare New Zealand. To cancel your Order, please contact Haircare New Zealand by emailing [email protected] or calling Haircare New Zealand's customer service at 1300 437 436. In the event that you elect to cancel your Order, Haircare New Zealand will refund to you the Price you have paid. In no circumstance can you cancel your Order once Products have been dispatched to you. However, you can exchange Products as described above in this Section.
