If you wish to purchase any product or service made available through the Service ("Purchase"), you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to your Purchase including, without limitation, your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card, your billing address, and your shipping information.
You represent and warrant that: (i) you have the legal right to use any credit card(s) or other payment method(s) in connection with any Purchase; and that (ii) the information you supply to us is true, correct and complete.
By submitting such information, you grant us the right to provide the information to third parties for purposes of facilitating the completion of Purchases.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order at any time for certain reasons including but not limited to: product or service availability, errors in the description or price of the product or service, error in your order or other reasons. No information in this site constitutes an offer by us to supply any products/services to you 鈥� however, the Proprietor will endeavor to supply your selected products/services to you.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order if fraud or an unauthorised or illegal transaction is suspected.
The Service is not designed to provide qualitative advice regarding the fitness for purpose and merchantability of any products or services. We strongly advise you to exercise caution and do your own due diligence in conducting any transactions through the Service.
Acceptance of each purchase will take place if and when the Proprietor:
Sends the requested items to you, at the time at which the items are sent by the Proprietor; or
Notifies you in writing that the requested items are available for download by you, at the time at which such notification is sent by the Proprietor,
and title to, and risk in, the items will pass from the Proprietor to you at that time; or

Notifies you in writing that your order has been accepted, at the time at which such notification is sent by the Proprietor.
Availability, Errors and Inaccuracies
We are constantly updating our offerings of products and services on the Service. The products or services available on our Service may be mispriced, described inaccurately, or unavailable, and we may experience delays in updating information on the Service and in our advertising on other web sites.
We cannot and do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any information, including prices, product images, specifications, availability, and services.
We reserve the right to change or update information and to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time without prior notice.
The content is provided without warranties or conditions of any kind either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties and conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.
Subscriptions
Some parts of the Service are billed on a subscription basis (we offer monthly and yearly subscriptions) ("Subscription(s)"). For subscriptions, you will be billed in advance on a recurring monthly basis ("Billing Cycle").
At the end of each Subscription, your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless you cancel it or the Proprietor cancels it. You may cancel your Subscription renewal either through your online account management page or by contacting the Proprietor customer support team.
A valid payment method, including credit card or Stripe, is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You shall provide the Proprietor with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, zip code, telephone number, and a valid payment method information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize the Proprietor to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments.
Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, the Proprietor will issue an electronic invoice indicating that you must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice.
Free Trial
The Proprietor may, at its sole discretion, offer a Subscription with a free trial for a limited period of time ("Free Trial").
You may be required to enter your billing information in order to sign up for the Free Trial.
If you do enter your billing information when signing up for the Free Trial, you will not be charged by the Proprietor until the Free Trial has expired. On the last day of the Free Trial period, unless you cancelled your Subscription, you will be automatically charged the applicable Subscription fees for the type of Subscription you have selected.
At any time and without notice, the Proprietor reserves the right to (i) modify the terms and conditions of the Free Trial offer, or (ii) cancel such Free Trial offer.
Fee Changes
The Proprietor in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees for the Subscriptions. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle.
The Proprietor will provide you with a reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give you an opportunity to terminate your Subscription before such change becomes effective.
Your continued use of the Service after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.
GST
The Proprietor is not currently registered for GST within Australia. Should the Proprietor become registered for GST within Australia, the Proprietor will issue Tax Invoices in accordance with the ATO mandatory requirements and the prices and Subscription Fees may be reviewed to include an additional amount reflective of GST payable.

Payment Methods
Payment for orders placed through this site may be made by credit card processed online using the secure Stripe payment gateway (provided by Stripe Inc and its affiliates).
Payments made through Stripe are subject to Stripe鈥檚 terms and conditions and privacy policy, links to which are provided from the Stripe checkout pages. For more information about Stripe visit the website (https://stripe.com/au).
Unless you expressly consent otherwise, we do not see or have access to any personal information that you may provide to Stripe, other than information that is required in order to process your order and deliver your purchased items to you (e.g. your name, email address and billing address).
Credit and Debit Card Payments
It is not necessary to have a Stripe account in order to make a purchase on this site. Stripe accepts all major credit and debit cards. Please note that we may be unable to accept credit cards issued by banks outside of Australia in some cases. Additional transaction fees may apply if paying by credit card, in which case the additional charges will be specified at checkout.
Security
While Stripe and our website hosting providers employ secure technology for transactions with our customers, we will not be responsible for any damages, including consequential losses (whether direct or indirect), that may be suffered by a customer whose credit or debit card or bank account information is used in a fraudulent or unauthorised manner by any person other than the Proprietor.
The Proprietor may request further information from you, such as a copy of your credit card and/or other identification documentation, as part of our internal validation procedures. These procedures help protect bank and credit card account holders from online fraud. Until your order has passed our internal fraud prevention checks, your order will remain on pending status.
If further information is requested and you do not provide the requested information within such time as the Proprietor considers appropriate at its discretion, your order will be cancelled and, if your payment has been received, it will be refunded back to you.
Refunds and Guarantees
Except when required by law, paid Subscription fees are non-refundable.
The Proprietor will only provide you with a refund of your Subscription Fee in the event that the Proprietor is unable to continue to provide the Services or if the Proprietor otherwise decides in its sole discretion. Where this occurs, the refund will be in the proportional amount of the Subscription Fee that remains unused.
The Proprietor鈥檚 Services 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 Services repaired or replaced if the Services fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
A Service has a major failure when:
1. It has a problem that would have stopped someone from buying it if they鈥檇 known about it;
2. It is significantly different from the sample or description;
3. It is substantially unfit for its common purpose and can鈥檛 easily be fixed within a reasonable time;
4. It doesn鈥檛 do what you asked for and can鈥檛 easily be fixed within a reasonable time; or
5. It is unsafe.
Importantly, these rights are in addition to the statutory rights to which you may be entitled under the Australian Consumer Law and other applicable Australian consumer protection laws and regulations.

You agree to keep all records necessary to establish that your Content does not violate any of the requirements of this clause and make such records available upon our reasonable request. We are under no obligation to regularly monitor the accuracy or reliability of your Content incorporated into the Service. We reserve the right to modify or remove any Content at any time.
