4. DELIVERY

4.1 We aim to deliver products to you at the place of delivery requested by you within the time indicated by us at the time of Your Order, but we cannot guarantee any firm delivery dates.

4.2 We will try to let you know if we expect to be unable to meet our estimated delivery date, but, to the extent permitted by law, we will not be liable to you for any losses, liabilities, costs, damages, charges or expenses arising out of late delivery.

4.3 In some cases, you may grant us an 'Authority to Leave' when placing Your Order. If you do, you understand and agree that this Authority to Leave gives us and/or our couriers permission to leave the Order in question unattended by the front door – or, where applicable, at the reception or concierge's desk, or as per your instructions – of the delivery address without obtaining a signature confirming delivery at the delivery location. In these circumstances, you understand and agree that by granting us Authority to Leave, we and our couriers are released of all responsibility and liability for the Orders delivered and left unattended, and that this responsibility and liability transfer to you on delivery.

4.4 You must ensure that you are able to take delivery of the product without undue delay and at any time reasonably specified by us. If you are not, the couriers may leave a card giving you instructions on either re-delivery or collection from the carrier. If delivery or collection is delayed through your unreasonable refusal to accept delivery or if you do not (within two weeks of our first attempt to deliver the product to you) accept delivery or collect the product from the carrier, then we may (without affecting any other right or remedy available to us) do either or both of the following:

(i) charge you for our reasonable storage fee and other costs reasonably incurred by us; or

(ii) no longer make the product available for delivery or collection and notify you that we are cancelling the applicable Contract, in which case we will refund to you or your credit or debit card company as applicable any money paid to us, less our reasonable administration charges (including for attempting to deliver and then returning the product, and any storage fees as provided for above).

4.5 Please note that it might not be possible for us to deliver to some locations. If this is the case, we will inform you using the contact details that you provide to us when you make Your Order and arrange for cancellation of the Order or delivery to an alternative delivery address.

4.6 Unless otherwise specified by you, all risk in the product shall pass to you upon delivery. If delivery is delayed, risk shall pass at the date when delivery would have occurred. From the time when risk passes to you, we will not be liable for loss or destruction of the product.

4.7 You must take care when opening the product so as not to damage it, particularly when using any sharp instruments.

5. CANCELLATION

5.1 We may terminate a Contract if the product is not available for any reason. We will notify you if this is the case via the contact details that you provided to us when you made Your Order and return any payment that you have made. We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for the product.

5.2 If you wish to cancel Your Order, please contact our team via hello@pataralife.com.au or the relevant Contact page via the Website, citing your order number. No cancellation fees will apply before the Order has been processed. Once an order has been processed it cannot be cancelled and the item(s) must instead be returned to us in accordance with the Returns Policy.

7.1 We aim to provide you with Products of the highest standard and quality. If you have received a Product with a defect, please contact us via hello@pataralife.com.au or the relevant Contact page via the Website, as soon as possible, so we can guide you through the returns process and help resolve the problem as swiftly as possible. In order to assist the return process, you may be required to send us images of the damage, defect or fault for preliminary assessment.

7.2 If the Product is confirmed to have a defect, we will replace the Product or refund the Price of the Product to your original payment method at your request. If the Product is found not to have a defect or deemed out of warranty, we will ship the Product back to you.

7.3 It does not constitute a defect, if in our reasonable opinion, if the Product has, following the sale to you, become of unacceptable quality due to fair wear and tear – such as creasing during transit – misuse, failure to use in accordance with manufacturers’ instructions, using it in an abnormal way or failure to take reasonable care.
