TERMS & CONDITIONS


PaulaB Jewellery & Accessories
Website: www.paulab.com.au

1. OVERVIEW

Welcome to PaulaB Jewellery & Accessories. By accessing our website or placing an order, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. Please read them carefully before purchasing. Nothing in these terms excludes or restricts rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, including rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

2. PRODUCTS & DESCRIPTIONS

We aim to display product descriptions, colours, measurements, materials and photographs accurately. Colours may appear slightly different depending on your screen. Product availability may change. If an item becomes unavailable after you order, we will contact you and offer an appropriate resolution, including a refund where applicable.

3. PRICES & CURRENCY

Prices and shipping charges are stated in Australian dollars (AUD), unless a different currency is expressly displayed at checkout. International customers may incur currency conversion or transaction fees charged by their payment provider. We may correct genuine pricing errors and will contact you before processing an affected order. If you do not agree to a corrected price, you may cancel and receive a refund of amounts paid for that order.

4. ORDERS & PAYMENT

Submitting an order constitutes an offer to purchase. We will send an order acknowledgement. An order is accepted when we confirm acceptance or dispatch it. Payment is required at checkout. Accepted payment methods include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay, where displayed at checkout. We may contact you if an order cannot be fulfilled or requires clarification. If we cancel an order, we will refund payments received for the cancelled items and applicable shipping charges.

5. SHIPPING & DELIVERY

Orders are packed and dispatched within 24 hours on business days. Orders placed before 10:00 am AEST are generally dispatched the same business day. Orders placed later, on weekends or on public holidays are generally processed on the next business day. Shipping charges, eligible destinations and estimated delivery times are explained in our Shipping Policy and displayed at checkout. Delivery times are estimates, not guarantees. Contact us if an order is significantly delayed. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.

6. INTERNATIONAL ORDERS, DUTIES & TAXES

International orders may be subject to import duties, customs taxes, VAT and customs clearance or processing fees imposed by the destination country. These charges are not included in the purchase price or shipping cost at checkout.

The customer is responsible for paying all applicable import duties, taxes and customs charges upon arrival or when requested by the relevant customs authority or delivery carrier.

PaulaB Jewellery & Accessories does not cover these additional charges. We recommend checking your country's import requirements before placing an order.

Nothing in this section excludes or limits your rights under applicable consumer laws.

7. RETURNS & CHANGE OF MIND

We accept eligible change-of-mind returns within 14 days of receiving your order, subject to the conditions outlined in our Return and Refund Policy. Eligible items must be returned unused, unworn, in their original condition and with original packaging and tags where applicable. For hygiene reasons, earrings and hair accessories are not eligible for change-of-mind returns. Approved change-of-mind returns will be refunded to the original payment method. Return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility unless otherwise agreed. These conditions do not limit your rights to a refund, replacement or other remedy under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable consumer protection laws.


8. FAULTY OR INCORRECT PRODUCTS

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. If a product is faulty, damaged, incorrectly supplied or does not meet an applicable consumer guarantee, contact customercare@paulab.com.au with your order number and details of the issue. Photographs may help us assess the matter, but they are not a condition of exercising statutory rights. For a major failure, eligible customers may choose a refund or replacement and may be entitled to compensation for reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. For a non-major failure, we may provide a remedy within a reasonable time in accordance with the law. Reasonable return shipping costs for qualifying faulty goods will be handled in accordance with applicable consumer law. Hygiene exclusions, change-of-mind conditions and store-credit rules do not override statutory remedies.

9. STORE CREDIT

Where store credit is voluntarily issued, it is valid for three years from the date of issue, unless a longer period is required by law or expressly stated when issued. Store credit may be used for eligible purchases on our website. Store credit cannot ordinarily be exchanged for cash, except where required by law. Where applicable, PaulaB Jewellery & Accessories may offer store credit as an alternative resolution for eligible returns or approved requests. Store credit does not replace a refund, replacement or other remedy where a customer is entitled to one under applicable consumer laws.


10. PROMOTIONAL CODES

Promotional offers are subject to the conditions displayed with each promotion. Unless otherwise stated, only one promotional code may be applied per order. Codes must be entered at checkout before completing payment. If you experience an issue applying a valid code, contact us. We will assess requests for retrospective discounts in accordance with the promotion's published terms and applicable law.

11. SHIPPING ADDRESSES & TRACKING

Customers are responsible for providing accurate and complete delivery information at checkout. Please contact us as soon as possible if an address needs correction. We will do our best to assist before dispatch; however, changes may not be possible once an order has shipped. Tracking information will be provided where available. If a parcel is returned to PaulaB Jewellery & Accessories due to an incorrect or incomplete address provided by the customer, additional shipping costs to resend the order will be the customer's responsibility. We are not responsible for delays caused by incorrect delivery information provided by the customer or circumstances outside our reasonable control.


12. WEBSITE USE & INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

You agree not to misuse our website, interfere with its operation or attempt unauthorized access. Website content, including original photographs, descriptions, graphics and branding owned by PaulaB Jewellery & Accessories, is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce or commercially use our protected content without permission, except where permitted by law.

13. PRIVACY

We handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable privacy laws. Please review our Privacy Policy for information about how personal information is collected, used and disclosed.

14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, statutory right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded. To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for losses caused solely by circumstances beyond our reasonable control where we have not breached a legal obligation. This clause does not limit any liability or remedy that cannot lawfully be limited.

15. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. Changes will be published on our website and will apply prospectively, subject to applicable law. Changes will not retrospectively remove rights or obligations arising under an existing order.

16. GOVERNING LAW

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, subject to any mandatory consumer protections or other laws that apply to a customer's purchase.
