CONTENT

Colours of products are as accurate as the website allows and may differ slightly to the actual product due to the nature of photography and/or monitor colour calibration.

In the event a product is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to a typographical error or oversight, Korango shall have the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for products listed at an incorrect price.

SHIPPING & DELIVERY

All domestic retail orders are shipped via Startrack, Australia Post, Couriers Please or Aramex and upon ordering customers automatically give authority for their order to be left unattended at their delivery address. Korango will only replace orders sent using these methods provided the order is proved lost in transit by the delivery service company.

From time to time factors such as order size, weight and/or shipping address may require us to ship via another method. Korango reserves the right to change your shipping method in these cases without notice to you and will provide you tracking details for the new carrier once shipped.

All delivery times provided by Korango are estimates only. Korango will not be liable for late deliveries and/or any loss or damage relating to late deliveries.

In the event that an item you have ordered is out of stock, Korango will make all reasonable attempts to notify you using the details you provided.

By agreeing to our terms and conditions you acknowledge all information set forth under our Australian and International shipping pages.

REFUNDS & RETURNS

Returns for refund or exchange will only be accepted if they are in new condition with tags attached, unless goods are being returned as faulty.

Application

    These T&Cs, and no terms and conditions of the Customer, will apply to any order for and any supply of Goods by the Supplier to the Customer.

    Order for Goods / Services

      2.1 Any Order by the Customer to the Supplier and/or any acceptance of any Goods by the Customer will constitute agreement to these T&Cs by the Customer.

      2.2 No Order by the Customer will be binding on the Supplier unless the Supplier accepts the Order.

      2.3 If the Supplier accepts an Order, the parties will have created a binding Contract and the Supplier will supply the Goods to the Customer, and the Customer will pay the Price to the Supplier in accordance with the terms of the Contract (which will include these T&Cs).

      2.4 The Customer is not entitled to cancel any Order or Contract and must pay to the Supplier any costs associated with the Customer purporting to cancel any Order or Contract.

      2.5 The Customer must provide to the Supplier all information, instructions, and facts relevant to the Goods at the time the Customer requests any quotation from the Supplier and prior to providing any Order to the Supplier.

      2.6 If at any time the Supplier considers that any information, instructions or facts provided by the Customer to the Supplier are not sufficient to enable the Supplier to supply the Goods to the Customer in accordance with the Contract, the Customer must, at the Customer’s cost, provide such further information, documents or assistance as the Supplier considers reasonably necessary.

      2.7 The Supplier will be entitled to rely on the accuracy of any information, instructions, reports, plans, specifications, and facts provided by the Customer.

      2.8 If there are any errors in any information, instructions or facts provided by the Customer to the Supplier, the Supplier will, in addition to the Supplier’s other rights under these T&Cs or at law, be entitled to vary the Price of the Goods.

      2.9 The Customer must ensure the specifications and properties of Goods stated in any Order by the Customer will be fit for the intended purpose of the Goods.

      2.10 The Customer will be responsible for the quantity of any Goods in any Order and the Supplier will not have any liability to the Customer if there is any excess or shortfall of the Goods for the intended purpose.

        3.2 Time for payment for the Goods being of the essence, the Price will be payable by the Customer as follows:

        (a) If the Customer has completed the Supplier’s credit application, approved by the Supplier, the Customer is to pay for the Goods within 30 days from the date of the Supplier’s invoice;

        (b) If the Customer has completed the Supplier’s credit application and direct debit facility, authorising the Supplier to directly debit the Customer’s bank account for payment of the Goods, the Goods are to be paid within 90 days from the date of the Supplier’s invoice by having payment deducted from the direct debit facility weekly or otherwise agreed by the Supplier;

        (c) in all other circumstances, the Customer is to make payment of the Goods prior to the Supplier dispatching the Goods for delivery to the Customer. The Supplier will provide the Customer with notice to pay within 7 days from the date of the sales order or invoice. If payment is not made by the Customer within 7 days of the date of the sales order or invoice, the Supplier (at its sole discretion) has the right to withdraw the Customer’s order and the invoice and offer the Goods for Sale to other customers;

        3.3 Unless otherwise agreed by the Supplier in writing, the Supplier may invoice the Customer for Goods on the date the Supplier supplies the Goods.

        3.4 Unless otherwise stated by the Supplier in writing, the Price is exclusive of any delivery charges and exclusive of GST.

        3.6 The Supplier may charge, in addition to the Price, any other fees, charges and surcharges that the Supplier notifies to the Customer from time to time.

        3.7 If the Customer defaults in payment by the due date of any amount payable to the Supplier, then all money which would become payable by the Customer to the Supplier at a later date on any account, becomes immediately due and payable without the requirement of any notice to the Customer, and the Supplier may, without prejudice to any of its other accrued or contingent rights:

        (a) charge the Customer interest on any sum due at the prevailing rate pursuant to the Penalty Interest Rates Act 1983 (Vic) plus 2% for the period from the due date until the date of payment in full;

        (b) charge the Customer for all expenses and costs (including without limitation all legal costs and expenses and mercantile agent’s commissions) incurred by the Supplier in taking whatever actions it deems appropriate to recover any sum due;

        (c) cease or suspend supply of goods or services to the Customer without liability to the Customer or any third party for any loss or damage whether directly or consequentially;

          (b) the Supplier will endeavour to deliver the Goods to any delivery address on the Delivery Date; and

          (c) the Supplier may charge further delivery charges if the Customer is unable to receive delivery of the Goods at any delivery address or on the Delivery Date or in accordance with any other delivery arrangements.

          4.2 The Supplier will only deliver Goods during the Supplier’s usual business hours unless the Supplier agrees otherwise in writing.

          4.3 The Supplier will not be liable for any delay in the delivery of Goods to the Delivery Address.

          4.4 The Customer will ensure a member of the Customer’s Personnel will be at any delivery address on the Delivery Date to sign the delivery docket on the Customer’s behalf.

          (a) the Supplier’s responsibility for delivery of Goods will cease at the kerbside or public roadway frontage of any delivery address;

          (b) the Customer must provide safe access for delivery of Goods including but not limited to providing safety measures such as traffic control; and

          (c) the Supplier may refuse to deliver Goods, and return the Goods at the Customer’s cost, if the Supplier or a member of the Supplier’s Personnel considers it would be unsafe to deliver the Goods.

            5.3 If any of the Goods are damaged or destroyed following delivery but prior to ownership passing to the Customer, the Supplier is entitled to receive all insurance proceeds payable for the Goods. The production of these terms and conditions by the Supplier is sufficient evidence of the Supplier’s rights to receive the insurance proceeds without the need for any person dealing with the Supplier to make further enquiries.

             Title

            6.1 The Customer will not receive title to Goods until the Customer makes full payment of the Price and any other amounts payable to the Supplier (including full payment of the Price for any Services provided by the Supplier to the Customer which relate to Goods acquired by the Customer).
