By using our (Heritage Roses in Australia Inc.) website, you agree to the following conditions.
Product pricing and availability
All pricing displayed on the Heritage Roses in Australia website (www.heritageroses.org.au) is in Australian Dollars (AUD) and is Australian Goods and Services Tax exempt (ex GST).
Product, subscription and event descriptions, pricing, availability, delivery and other charges are current at the time of publishing, but are subject to variation without notice.
Whilst we always aim to be as accurate as possible in describing pricing and availability of products, subscriptions and events, we are unable to warrant that product, subscription and event descriptions or other content of the website is accurate, complete, current and error free. As many of our products are of limited supply, availability of products cannot always be guaranteed.
If we discover an error in the price of any products, subscriptions or event registrations which you have ordered we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you and the corrected price is higher, we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel due to a price correction and you have already paid for the items, we will refund the amount paid in full.
Placing your order
Placement of a product order, subscription or registration by you constitutes an offer to enter into an agreement with us. We will send an order confirmation to you by email for the sole purpose of confirming the details of your offer. Any error in these details should be communicated to us immediately. It is important to note, however, that this order confirmation email does not constitute an acceptance of your offer by Heritage Roses in Australia nor reflect the status of your order in any way.
Acceptance of your order and the completion of the contract between you and us will take place upon receipt of full payment and dispatch to you of the product, subscription or registration ordered, unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled it.
Cancelling you order
You have the right to cancel your product or subscription order at any time before your order is dispatched without charge. Conference and event cancellation may incur a booking cancellation fee, details of which are displayed on the registration form.
We reserve the right to cancel or refuse any order, whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged or you have paid through bank transfer or cheque.
If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order is cancelled, we will immediately process a refund / credit to your credit card. If you have paid through PayPal and your order is cancelled, we will issue you a refund through PayPal immediately. If you have paid via bank transfer, we will refund the payment back to your bank account as soon the funds have cleared in our account. If you have paid with cheque, we will destroy the cheque. If you have paid with cash, we will return the cash to you.
