17.2 Acceptance of orders

We may limit quantities available for sale or sold, and we reserve the right at any time to reject, correct, cancel or terminate any order for any reason whatsoever. If the price of any product you order was incorrectly displayed, we will provide you with an opportunity to place an order at the correct price assuming such product is available.

Advertisements are invitations to you to make offers to purchase products and services and are not offers to sell. Your properly completed and delivered order information constitutes your offer to purchase the products or services referenced in your order. Your order will be deemed to be accepted only if and when we send an email shipping notice to your email address. That shipping and payment notice email constitutes our acceptance of your order and forms a legally binding contract with Ionic Group Pty Ltd., which operates minitopia.com.au. The total price of your order will be charged to your credit card when our shipping and payment notice email has been sent to your email address.

Orders that cannot be filled at the same time, i.e., preorder or backorder products, will be treated as separate orders and billed separately. Reservation deposits will be taken for any pre-ordered products, and applied when the products are shipped to the full purchase price, which will be charged to you at time of shipment. If an order cannot be filled because the product is not available for shipment, customer service will notify you and you will be given the option to change, cancel the order or wait for the missing stock to be shipped.

If you wish to cancel an order, you may request a cancellation by calling + 61 8 9350 5701. However, if we are not able to receive and process your cancellation request before we accept and ship your order, your cancellation request may not be effective.

It is a requirement that all orders intended for delivery within Australia be placed from within Australia.

If an order is placed outside of Australia or is placed using a credit card with a billing address outside of Australia then it is considered an overseas transaction.

We retain the right to either approve or deny any overseas transaction at our discretion.

All orders placed undergo an internal order verification process. During this process an order may be approved or denied at our discretion.

17.3 Pick Up at Store

Pick Up at Store is only available for selected products and from selected locations as shown on our Website. During the ordering process, you need to select a store from which you will collect the order. At the time you place your order, our Website will show an estimated collection timeframe until your order is available for collection. You will receive notification via email when your order is ready for collection for in-stock products, and notification via SMS for preorder products (if you provide a mobile phone number at time of ordering).

A valid email address and telephone number must be provided to use Pick Up at Store.

We will aim to have your order ready for collection by the estimated collection timeframe. We will not be liable to you or any other person for any delay. In this instance, we will provide you with notice of such delay as soon as reasonably possible.

In certain circumstances, your order may be rejected, including but not limited to where the requested product is not available at the selected store. If we reject an order for products placed through our Website, we will endeavour to notify you of that rejection at the time you place the order or within a reasonable time after you submit your order.

If you fail to collect your Pick Up at Store order within 6 weeks after you receive notification that the order is available for collection, we may cancel the order.

You agree to comply with certain collection requirements specified below and any other requirements that we notify to you when you place your order through our Website or notified prior to collection:

you must collect your order from the store selected by you when you place your order;

photographic identification and a signature, and where requested, proof of age, must be provided when you collect your order; and

the email order confirmation for your order must be shown when you collect your order.

Only the person on order can collect. If you will not be the person collecting your order then you must nominate your representative who will be collecting your order by providing their details to the collecting store at the time your order is placed. Your representative must provide us at the time of collection with proof of their identity (including photographic identification) and, where relevant, age, and the confirmation or receipt for your order and such other verification reasonably requested by us. By nominating an alternate person to collect the order for you, you acknowledge and agree that that person is authorised by you to collect your order.

We will not allow a Restricted Product to be collected by a person who is unable to prove that he or she is over the required age as prescribed by law or as otherwise set out in these terms and conditions.

You acknowledge that we may record the details of any identification provided in relation to collection of products.

If the failure is minor, we will repair the item (or, at our discretion, we may replace the item) within a reasonable time. Where an item is damaged through misuse or abnormal use, Minitopia cannot provide a refund, exchange or repair, whether the fault is identified by Minitopia, the manufacturer or their service agent. Minitopia will require satisfactory proof of purchase before providing a remedy under the Australian Consumer Law.
