We cannot guarantee that your computer monitor's display of any colour will be accurate.

All prices on the Site are automatically shown in the local currency of the country or region's page that you access and are exclusive of any applicable taxes. You may also manually change the country or region applicable, through the country or region selection box on the home page of our Site. The final amount at checkout will be subject to the relevant exchange rate as applied by the payment processor.

Certain products may be available exclusively online through our Site. These products may have limited quantities and are subject to return or exchange only according to clause 10 and clause 14.

Orders, subscriptions, and billing

To place an order or a subscription request for products through the Site, you must be over 18 years of age, have an email account and a valid debit or credit card issued by a bank acceptable to us, or our payment processor.

By placing an order or a subscription request for any products through the Site, you are offering to purchase our products in accordance with our Terms. Any orders placed are subject to availability and confirmation of the price of the Products.

You must follow the instructions on our Site when placing an order or a subscription request. We will send you an email confirmation when we receive your order, usually within 30 minutes of your order or subscription request. This email only acknowledges your order or subscription request and does not constitute acceptance of your order or subscription request. If we make a change to or cancel an order or a subscription request, we may attempt to notify you using the contact information you provided at the time the order or subscription request was made.

By ordering or requesting a subscription for any products from the Site, you warrant that you are purchasing the products for personal use and are not purchasing any products for any trade purposes or for resale to any third parties.

You agree to provide current, complete and accurate purchase and/or account information for all purchases made at our online store. You agree to promptly update your information so that we can complete your orders or subscription requests, and contact you as needed.

We reserve the right, but are not obliged, to:

refuse any order or subscription request you place with us, including any order that (in our sole discretion) appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors;

limit the sales of our products to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction;

limit the quantities of any products that we offer per person, per household or per order; or

discontinue any product at any time.

We may exercise these rights on a case-by-case basis. Any order or subscription restrictions may applied to orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address.

Unless we have previously notified you that we do not accept your order or subscription request, for any reason, or if you have already cancelled your order or subscription request in accordance with these Terms, our acceptance of your offer to purchase our products and the formation of a contract between us occurs when:

we approve your payment or, in the case of subscriptions, your first payment; and

we, or our payment processor, debits your account and the funds have cleared.

In respect of orders:

The final amount payable for your order and delivery (including any applicable delivery and handling fees) is shown at the checkout and any fees displayed prior to checkout are estimates only. You agree to pay the final amount at the time of checkout using one (1) of the payment methods provided on the Site.

Your payment for the order must be cleared before we dispatch our products to you. If for any reason your card issuer declines your payment, we cannot hold your order and you must submit a new order.

If we offer free shipping, it only applies as set out in our Site or in accordance with any promotional offers from time to time. Free shipping, if offered, only applies to standard delivery in Australia, and not to express shipping.

If you place consecutive orders with us separately, we cannot consolidate the orders. Separate delivery charges will be applied to each order.

In respect of subscriptions:

We will send you our products automatically at the frequency and quantity that you have selected.

Your account will be charged with each recurring delivery in advance, in accordance with the frequency and quantity of products you have selected. Niki's usually processes subscriptions on the third week, for four week subscriptions and on the eleventh week for twelve week subscriptions.

Your payment for each recurring delivery must be cleared before we dispatch our products to you. If for any reason your card issuer declines your payment, we will suspend your subscription and you must update your selected payment method on your account.

You can cancel your subscription at any time by giving Niki's at least one weeks' prior written notice before the next billing period. If you cancel your subscription after the billing period has commenced, the cancellation will be effective at the end of that billing period.

If any product ordered by you is not in stock at the time of delivery, we will offer you the following options:

deliver the remaining products to you and deliver the unavailable product when it comes back into stock;

supply an agreed substitute product; or

refund you the cost of the unavailable product.

GST

Terms defined in A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth) (GST Act) have the same meaning when used in this clause unless expressly stated otherwise.

Except where these Terms specify otherwise, an amount payable by a party under these Terms in respect of a taxable supply by the other party represents the value of the supply (Supply Amount). The recipient of the supply must, in addition to the Supply Amount and at the same time, pay to the supplier the amount of GST imposed by the GST Act payable in respect of the supply. For the avoidance of doubt, the GST amount payable under this clause will be calculated by multiplying the Supply Amount by the prevailing GST rate.

If at any time an adjustment is made between the supplier or any other payer of GST and the relevant taxing authority on account of GST on any supply made or other matter or thing done under or in connection with these Terms by the supplier, a corresponding adjustment must be made as between the supplier and the recipient and any payment required to give effect to the adjustment must be made. The supplier must provide to the recipient an adjustment note relating to the adjustment within 7 days.

Taxes and International orders or subscriptions

If international orders or subscriptions to your chosen country of delivery are permitted through the Site, such orders or subscriptions are not subject to Australian GST.

International orders or subscriptions may be subject to applicable duties, fees, levies and taxes in the destination country. They may also be subject to charges for customs clearance under local customs laws or formalities. Such charges are levied by the importing country at the time that the products are delivered to the destination country. The recipient of international orders or subscriptions, as the importer, is responsible for paying all applicable local duties, fees, levies, taxes and charges for customs clearance.

For information on importing goods to your destination country, and any applicable charges, levies, taxes please contact your local government authority.

Delivery

You must nominate a delivery option from the options set out on the Site and location for delivery when placing an order or subscription request with us.

While we aim to deliver our products to you within the estimated delivery time set out on the Site, we cannot guarantee that our products will be delivered within this timeframe. We do not control deliveries or delivery times once our products have been dispatched from our warehouse.

We currently offer AUD$5.00 flat rate for standard delivery within Australia. For all other countries, we will advise you of the rate at checkout. We use Sendle as a third party courier. Please review their terms and conditions before proceeding to checkout. If your delivery has not arrived by the estimated delivery time, please contact us to discuss the next steps.

To the extent permitted by law, we will not be liable to you for any delay in delivering our products. Processing may take longer during certain times of year. We do not process any orders for our products until our payment processor confirms that it has received payment for our products.

We are not responsible or liable for any delay or failure to deliver any products ordered from us as a result of any legal, customs or regulatory restrictions imposed by any countries.

You must arrange for our products to be accepted on delivery by a person 18 years or older. If delivery is delayed due to your unavailability or refusal to accept our products (or if you do not accept delivery of our products within two (2) weeks of our first delivery attempt), we may:

charge you for storage fees up until the date of successful delivery; or

cancel your order (in which case we will refund you the fees paid for our products, excluding delivery and handling fees which are non-refundable).

Title to our products passes to you once the cleared payment of the final amount has been received by us. Risk to our products passes to you once they have left our premises.

Privacy

You understand that your personal information will be dealt with in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Refunds

If for any reason you are not satisfied with our products, we will gladly offer you a refund provided that you notify us within 30 days from the date of purchase. We would love to hear your feedback so that we can continue to serve you better.

We do not refund delivery and handling fees, except where we deliver the wrong products to you.

Recalls

In the unlikely event that any of our products are subject to a product recall, we will post a notice on our Site and will contact you (or the recipient of the product) by the most appropriate means, including by email, SMS, telephone, instant messaging or post.

We will provide you with instructions regarding next steps with respect to returning the products, in accordance with our recall notice.

Reviews, comments and feedback

If, at our request, you send certain specific submissions (for example contest entries) or without a request from us you send creative ideas, suggestions, proposals, plans, or other materials, whether online, by email, by postal mail, or otherwise (collectively, comments), you agree that we may, at any time, without restriction, edit, copy, publish, distribute, translate and otherwise use in any medium any comments that you forward to us.
