3. Product Sales

3.1 By placing an order using the Pauly Designed site and service, a customer makes a binding offer for a contract of sale or, as the case may be, a contract for work and materials with Pauly Designed only (no contract exists between the customer and any applicable shop owner). Pauly Designed sends an order confirmation via e-mail to the customer. The order confirmation is not an acceptance of the offer but only acknowledges that the order was received. The offer is only accepted when Pauly Designed confirms that production has completed in a second e-mail. Pauly Designed cannot guarantee the continued availability of any products or designs found on its site.

3.2 Information, drawings, figures, technical data, specifications of weight, measurements and services contained in brochures, catalogues, newsletters, ads, or price lists are purely informational. Pauly Designed cannot guarantee the correctness of this information, and if there is any inconsistency between the information described above and the information in an order confirmation email, the order confirmation email controls.

3.3 Pauly Designed reserves the right to reject orders for any reason or no reason. If Pauly Designed rejects an order, it will notify the customer.

3.4 Pauly Designed’s performance of an order is completed when the shipment provider completes delivery to the customer’s address, according to the records of the shipment provider. If there is an interruption of delivery, and Pauly Designed cannot replace the order in a reasonable amount of time, Pauly Designed will notify the customer immediately.

3.5 If there is a product defect or if you are dissatisfied with your order for any reason, please read our Returns Policy that will apply, which Pauly Designed may change at any time in its sole discretion.

4. Delivery and Shipment

4.1 Pauly Designed warrants that it will ship orders within three weeks after orders are placed. Normally, goods are shipped within 5 business days however in certain circumstances, shipment and delivery can take up to three weeks. Customers and Pauly Designed may separately agree to more specific delivery times and terms in a separate writing or agreement (such as a request for express shipping).

4.2 Pauly Designed will make delivery using a shipment service provider of its choosing. If delivery is made to an Australian postal address the standard shipping is included in the price. For shipping to non-Australian postal addresses, the customer must pay standard shipping costs which may depend on order value and shipping destinations. Shipping costs are displayed at checkout.

4.3 Non Australian / International orders may incur custom fees. This depends entirely on the destination country and it’s beyond our control. The amount payable is determined entirely by the destination country and their laws. Delays may be incurred in the delivery process. Please check with local customs rules & regulations before placing your order.

5. Prices

5.1 All prices found on the Pauly Designed site are final and may change from time to time. Shipping and handling are billed and shown separately at checkout (or on invoices, if applicable). The shipping address and order amount may affect certain costs, and sales taxes may apply to some orders.

5.2 For customers ordering from outside Australia, all product prices are net of local taxes and fees unless otherwise indicated. If, according to applicable law, the goods are subject to sales taxes, import duties, import brokerage fees, or other taxes or fees in the recipient’s country, and if these are not already collected at checkout, then the customer has the sole responsibility to pay these taxes and fees.

5.3 Customers must pay the purchase price, applicable sales taxes, and shipping and handling charges immediately upon placing an order, without deduction.

6. Payment

6.1 Customers may choose to pay by Stripe (credit/debit card) or PayPal payment methods. Pauly Designed reserves the right to limit the method of payment chosen by the customer depending on order value, shipment destination, or other objective criteria.

6.2 If the customer selects a payment method or provides payment information that makes it impossible or impractical for Pauly Designed to receive payment (for example, the customer’s account lacks sufficient funds, or the customer provided incorrect payment information) through no fault of Pauly Designed’s own, the customer agrees that Pauly Designed may add an additional charge to the order to recoup costs associated with the processing or attempting to process the impossible or impractical transaction.

6.3 Pauly Designed may sub-contract third parties to process payment.

6.4 If the customer fails to pay, Pauly Designed may assign its claims to a debt collection agency and transfer the personal data required for collecting payment to these third parties.
