2. General

2.1 These Terms and Conditions apply to any purchase of goods or services from the Society.

3.3 Description of goods, services and prices may be subject to change or correction at any time without notice. Although we seek to ensure information is correct, we make no representation or warranty as to information being accurate or complete. If we discover an error, we will try to notify you as soon as possible and allow you to cancel your order and obtain a refund if desired.

3.4 By submitting an order you warrant that:

• you are capable of entering into a legally binding contract with the Society,
• you are authorised and able to make payment via the method you have chosen,

3.5 A contract for purchase is only formed once we have accepted an order by issuing a receipt number.

4. Payment method

Payment can be made with valid credit cards (Amex, Visa, Mastercard, Bankcard) or cheque. In the case of a cheque payment for an online order you must also provide us with a copy of the order confirmation.

5. Delivery

5.1 Delivery will usually take place 5 to 10 working days after acceptance of an order. However sometimes goods or services can be temporarily or permanently unavailable. The Society is not liable for any loss arising from delays in delivery or failure to deliver (although you may request a refund if you do not receive goods properly ordered: see section 6 below).

5.2 We do not ship to addresses outside Australia.

6. Refund/cancellation policy

6.1 Should you receive incorrect, damaged or faulty goods, please contact the Society Shop within 7 days of receipt and we will arrange, as appropriate and depending on availability, a goods exchange, credit or refund. We may require return to us of the goods with proof of purchase before actioning an exchange, credit or refund request. We will be pleased to consider exchange, credit or refund for other reasons, but the decision whether to grant this will be at our discretion. Any refund will be made using your original payment method or another method at our discretion.

6.2 If you notify us in writing more than 7 days before a seminar, course or event that you are unable to attend, you may choose to have a refund issued (minus a 15% cancellation fee for a seminar or course) or nominate a replacement delegate to attend in your stead.

6.3 If you notify us in writing 7 days or less before a seminar, course or event that you are unable to attend, you may nominate a replacement delegate to attend in your stead. No refund will be issued.

6.4 To claim a refund, exchange, credit, or for further information please send an email to lawsociety@lawsociety.com.au.
