ORDER ACCEPTANCE, CANCELLATION OR REJECTION

Once you have made your choice and your order has been placed, you will receive an email acknowledging the details of your order and allocating an order number to it.

Because orders are subject to availability, we may reject or cancel any order due to unavailability of stock. If for any reason a stock item is unavailable, we will endeavor to notify you of the non-availability on the Site. We are entitled to revise the range of stock items or the specification of any stock item at any time without notice to you.

If a stock item ordered by you is listed on the Site at or with an incorrect price or with incorrect information or specification(s), we reserve the right to reject or cancel your order (regardless of whether you have made payment for that order) and you agree that we have no obligation to sell online any stock item where that item is listed with an incorrect price or incorrect product information. Should payment already have been made for the subject order or item, we will refund the full amount paid by you with respect to that order or item.

We may vary any prices on the Site at any time without notice to you.

You may cancel your order at any time prior to the time that we send our confirmation of acceptance of your order, whatever form that confirmation takes. Ordinarily, once we have sent you confirmation of acceptance of your order, you may not cancel your order. We may consider any such request but the decision to accept your cancellation request is subject to our absolute discretion.

Unless you cancel your order in accordance with these T&C’s, acceptance of your order and completion of the contract between you and us will crystalise when we email you to confirm the goods have been or are about to be dispatched. The sale contract is therefore concluded in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia and the language of the contract is English. The governing law with respect to these T&C’s and the transactions effected via the Site and any disputes concerning same are the laws in place from time to time in the State of New South Wales, Australia.

We reserve the right not to accept your order in the event, for example, that we are unable to obtain authorisation for payment; that shipping restrictions apply to a particular item; that the item ordered is out of stock or does not satisfy or comply with our quality control standards and is withdrawn; or that you do not meet the eligibility criteria set out within these T&C’s.

We may also refuse to process and therefore accept a transaction for any reason or refuse service to anyone at any time at our sole and absolute discretion. We will not be liable to you or any third party by reason of our withdrawing any merchandise from the Site (whether or not that merchandise has been sold or whether we have removed, screened or edited any stock items, materials or content on the Site), or due to us refusing to process a transaction or refusing to unwind or suspend or reverse any transaction after processing of it has begun.

PAYMENT

All products remain the property of AUTORE MODA Pty Ltd until full payment for your order is received by us. Upon full payment being received by us, title in the goods will pass to you.

Subject to matters contained above with respect to stock items being listed at an incorrect price, the price payable by you for orders accepted by us shall be the price quoted on the Site for the relevant stock item at the time your order is submitted, together with the applicable delivery fees or charges, if any (which are payable in addition to the price of the goods). Except where stated otherwise, the prices for goods for international delivery are payable in US Dollars (US$) or Euro (EUR).

Payment can be made by VISA, MASTERCARD, AMERCIAN EXPRESS, AFTERPAY & KLARNA at the point of sale, and any other methods which may be clearly advertised on the Site from time to time. If the making of a transaction requires us to charge your payment, debit or credit card account, you authorise us to do so and to charge your payment, debit or credit card account for the total price of the ordered goods and the applicable delivery fees, if any. Payment will be debited and cleared from your account and only then can your order be dispatched. By providing payment, debit or credit card details for the payment for any goods, you confirm that the payment/debit/credit card that is to be used is yours or that you have been specifically authorised by the owner of the payment/debit/credit card to use it. All payment/debit/credit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment/debit/credit card refuses to authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.

We take reasonable care to make and keep the Site secure. We will endeavor not to store your payment/debit/credit card details on our systems.

If there is a problem with your payment (for example, if your credit card transaction is declined), we may contact you to make alternative arrangements. You will be liable for all debt collection costs where you fail to make payment for any order when payment is due.

Payment by telephone, bank wire transfer, mail, money order or cheque may be agreed to by us and arranged by contacting our Customer Service team via email (hello@autoremoda.com) or telephone (+61 473 395 008) during normal business hours (i.e. Monday to Friday between 9am to 5pm AEST).

BANK WIRE TRANSFERS

All customers must provide proper formal identification when making a purchase by bank wire transfer. We do not charge a fee for a bank wire transfer but be aware that some financial institutions will charge a fee for using a bank wire transfer. We require all bank wire transfer orders by phone be confirmed through an order approval process. Whilst we may acknowledge a bank wire transfer order, the order will not be processed and the goods dispatched until the payment has been received and confirmed by an email from us. If a wire transfer payment is not credited to our bank account within 7 days after you have placed your order, the subject order will be cancelled.

To help ensure that your shopping experience is safe, simple, and secure, we endeavor to take reasonable care, in so far as it is in our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but, in the absence of negligence on our part, we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Site.

PROMOTIONAL CODES

From time to time we may have and make special offers that can be applied to your order by using a promotional code that we may provide to you. In order to take advantage of these promotions, you must enter the promotional code in the space provided in your shopping bag and hit or press the “apply” button. The value of the promotion will be applied to your order automatically. Please note that only one promotional code benefit may be used per transaction. Promotional codes cannot be used for the purchase of a gift card or voucher. See below for details relating to Gift Cards and Vouchers.

Promotional codes are not valid for redemption anywhere except on the Site and cannot be exchanged for cash. Delivery charges are excluded from the calculation of percentage-based discounts. Unless otherwise specified, each promotional code may only be used once per customer and promotional codes cannot be applied to orders placed prior to or after the promotional period specified.

GIFT CARDS OR VOUCHERS

You may purchase an AUTORE MODA gift card or gift voucher online by visiting www.autoremoda.com These vouchers will be in the form of an E-Gift card (or similar) that can be sent by email (or a physical copy can be sent directly to the customer). They are not redeemable for cash and can only be used to purchase products from and via the Site. They cannot be used to purchase another gift card or voucher or used in conjunction with a promotional code. No change will be given or allowed for a purchase made with a gift card or voucher. The gift card or voucher has a set life and will expire 3 calendar years from the date of its purchase. Any unused balance will not be refunded or credited once the card has expired. When the cost of a purchase exceeds the available gift card or voucher balance, the cardholder will be required to make up the difference with an alternate form of payment. Gift cards and vouchers should be treated like cash and kept securely as you would with cash. We disclaim all responsibility and will not be liable at all for a lost or stolen gift card or voucher, whether for the full original value or any remaining balance thereon.

INSURANCE & DELIVERY

We insure each purchase during the time it is in transit until it is delivered to your specified delivery address. We require a signature for any goods delivered, at which point risk and responsibility for your purchased goods passes to you. If you have specified a recipient who is not you for delivery purposes (for example as a gift) then you accept that evidence of a signature by them (or another adult at that delivery address) is evidence of delivery and fulfilment by us and the transfer of responsibility for risk to you in the same way.

So that there can be no confusion, risk in the ordered product passes from us to you upon completion of delivery. In accordance with these T&C’s, delivery is deemed to have taken place and is completed when acceptance for the delivered goods is signed for as accepted and delivered at the place of delivery by you or your authorised agent or that of another adult at the place of delivery, such location being as per the delivery instructions issued to us by you.

Please note that we aim to dispatch all orders within a reasonable period and in a timely fashion in accordance with any delivery schedule we provide to you. However, estimated delivery times are to be used as a guide only and commence from the date of dispatch by us. We are not and cannot be held responsible or liable for any dispatch or delivery delays.

For reasons including but not limited to security, we reserve the right to restrict multiple quantities of an item being shipped to any one customer or postal address.

AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE

We guarantee the authenticity of all South Sea pearls and pearl jewellery purchased through or via the Site or otherwise purchased from us.

DELIVERY WITHIN AUSTRALIA

Delivery to locations within Australia will not attract a delivery fee when the order amount is over $150, orders under this amount will incur a charge of $10 and delivery will be via a door to door postal courier service. If a local delivery fee or charge is to be imposed that will be made clear when you place an order. Once we have confirmed our acceptance of your order, we will endeavor to dispatch your order within 3 Business Days unless a different time frame is specified in relation to a particular stock item. If we are unable to dispatch your order within this time frame, we will endeavor to contact you and advise of the expected dispatch date.  Additional delivery charges may be incurred should you require particular or unusual service such as a delivery on a Saturday and any such special delivery requirements needs to be discussed with and confirmed by us in writing.

Subject to anything contained herein to the contrary, we anticipate that ordered and paid for goods will be delivered to metropolitan areas of Australia within 3 Business Days from the date of dispatch. Deliveries to regional and remote destinations may take longer and we suggest that purchasers allow up to 7 days for the delivery to arrive.

Products will be posted, couriered or otherwise sent to the delivery address nominated by you as part of the ordering process. Because of factors outside of our control, anticipated delivery time frames may be exceeded and for this reason, we are unable to provide any guarantees as to the length of time a delivery may take. Postal and courier services employed by us will be reputable and reliable service providers. It is expected that the delivery service provider will insist on personal delivery.

INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY

Purchases made requiring international delivery will be shipped via a reputable and reliable international courier service and any such delivery will be subject to a shipping fee or charge. International shipping charges will be calculated at the checkout at a flat rate of $10. 

Once we have confirmed acceptance of your order, we will endeavor to dispatch your order within 3 Business Days unless a different time frame is specified in relation to a particular stock item. If we are unable to dispatch your order within this time frame, we will endeavor to contact you and advise of the expected dispatch date.  For deliveries to metropolitan areas, please allow up to 7 business days, for regional areas please allow up to 10 business days.

International deliveries are likely to take longer than deliveries within Australia because of additional factors such as distance, export-specific considerations (e.g. Australian Customs’ clearance) and foreign customs’ import requirements and regulations. Delivery fees for offshore (i.e. outside of Australia) deliveries will reflect the additional distance and red tape. You will be liable for import duties, as assessed and charged by offshore customs’ officials and departments, and these may need to be paid by you in advance of the sending or before the goods clear customs and you receive the goods. Similarly, you will be liable for any local taxes that are applicable in the country of import.

We will not be responsible or liable for anything that happens to any order that is delivered in accordance with your delivery instructions. We do not and will not accept any responsibility for any delays or loss of products due to delivery packages being retained for and or by Customs or other official inspections and delays caused by same.

International deliveries may be subject to Taxes imposed by the country to which a delivery is shipped. We have no responsibility or liability for any such charges. Should you purchase goods online through the Site for delivery offshore, you are the “importer of record” and you must comply with all laws and regulations in place in the country to which the goods are shipped. Customs’ clearance charges and fees are your responsibility. You must bear all such costs and expenses. We have no control over such fees and charges and cannot predict what they might or will be. Customs’ policies vary widely from country to country. We recommend that you contact your local customs’ authorities or international shipping agent to ascertain what is involved.

Cross-border shipments/deliveries may be subject to opening and inspection by Customs’ authorities. In order to facilitate customs’ clearance and to comply with local laws, we may be required to provide certain order, shipment and goods information, such as that which relate to title and details of our international carriers. Such information may be communicated by shipping service providers to customs’ authorities which may require us to declare to them the value of the goods you have purchased.

Delivery time frames are estimates only and while we will endeavor to meet all delivery time frames, we will not be liable for any loss, expense or other damage caused by any delay in delivery.

We retain ownership and title of the goods we supply to you until we have received the full price for the goods and the applicable delivery charges and delivery completion confirmation is received by us. Once your order has been delivered to you (or has otherwise been delivered in accordance with your delivery instructions), as evidenced by confirmation provide to us by Australia Post or our contracted courier or other delivery service provider or shipping agent, you will and must assume responsibility for and risk in the goods.

Where multiple (i.e. more than one item) items are ordered, whether in a single order or in more than one order, it may be that the goods the subject of the order(s) are separately delivered.

PRODUCT DAMAGE

We are responsible to insure products during delivery against certain risks such as damage occurring during transit. If upon receipt, you believe that there is evidence of damage to the packaging and or the enclosed product, you should immediately report this to the delivery service provider. If following inspection of the sent item(s), you are of the opinion that the item has been damaged in transit, you should report this to us at your earliest possible opportunity. Delay in these circumstances is problematic and may adversely impact on remedies and options available to you and us. In these circumstances, contact us by email (hello@autoremoda.com) or telephone us without delay by calling +61 473 395 008 during normal business hours (i.e. Monday to Friday between 9am to 5pm AEST).

CANCELLATION 

If we cancel the transaction, you will be entitled to a full refund.

Special orders cannot be cancelled.

In the event of any cancellation that requires the return of any product to us, we reserve the right to charge you any reasonable cost incurred by us to recover the goods which were the subject of the cancelled transaction. In doing so, we agree to act both reasonably and in good faith and you agree to be liable for any and all such charges.

REFUNDS/RETURNS POLICY

All goods purchased via or from the Site come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and perhaps compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality. Goods will not be of acceptable quality if such goods:

  • are not fit for all the purposes for which the goods of that kind are commonly and ordinarily supplied;
  • are not acceptable in terms of appearance and finish;
  • have defects;
  • are unsafe; or
  • are not durable.

AUTORE MODA refunds and returns policy and terms and conditions are subject to statutory rights a consumer has including those provided for within the provisions of the Competition and Consumer Act (C’th) 2010. Your statutory rights with respect to returns and refunds are neatly summarised on both the website of the Australian Consumer & Competition Commission (http://www.accc.gov.au/Consumers) and that of  the New South Wales Department of Fair Trading (http://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/ftp/Consumers)

Please note that Australian consumer law does not apply to “change of mind” or similar product returns which are subject to the supplier’s T’s& C’s.

In addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, we offer a 12 month limited warranty from the date of purchase against defects in material(s) and/or workmanship. Our liability for any breach of any warranty or consumer guarantee is (to the extent permitted by law) limited, at our sole discretion, to re-supplying the goods you have ordered or refunding the cost of those goods.

Products purchased from or via www.autoremoda.com may be returned for a refund within 30 days of delivery with such period strictly enforced. No refunds will be available if the item is not physically received by us within this 30 day period. If our reasonable requirements are all met, we will issue a refund. Please see our full Returns policy as Sale items and AUTORE custom pieces are non refundable.

Refunds are based on the AUD purchase price listed on the Site at the time of the purchase. AUTORE MODA cannot be held responsible for parcels that have not been received back. Once return parcel is received, the funds can take between 24-72 hours to clear. Please note AUTORE MODA does not refund any shipping costs incurred. 

Where there has been a breach of a statutory or contractual guarantee or warranty, the amount of the refund will include the costs of delivery (if any) and any reasonable return delivery charges incurred by the purchaser.

Costs and liabilities relating to the return shipping of an item purchased via the Site are at the risk of the person sending them if there is no delivery error by us or no defect is admitted by us acting reasonably or the item has merely been returned because of a change of mind. We cannot and do not agree to be held liable or responsible should the item be lost, stolen or misplaced during or at any time whilst the item is being returned to us.

Due to hygiene considerations, we do not exchange or refund earrings and or body pierced jewellery unless the product does not comply with the provisions of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010.

If the item delivered to you was incorrect – i.e. not the piece that was ordered – or does not match the description of it as posted on the Site or is defective, we will refund the costs involved in the returning of the item by you.

To summarise the above, a refund will not be made nor a replacement provided by us if:

  • You fail to return the goods within the 30 day returns period; or
  • The item is not returned in its original and saleable condition together with its original packaging, proof of purchase (i.e. with a copy or the original sales receipt or similar documentation) and with all tags attached; or
  • The piece(s) has or have been worn, damaged or altered; or
  • you fail to contact us and communicate clearly your intention to seek a refund or a replacement of the item prior to attempting to return it

If any of the above refunds’ pre-conditions are not met, our decision as to whether a refund or replacement will be allowed will be determined at our absolute discretion. Under Australian consumer law, a supplier is entitled to offer a free repair, as opposed to a refund or replacement, in circumstances where the fault or defect is merely of a minor nature which can be easily and simply rectified.

Where we agree to offer a refund in circumstances where there has been no breach of a statutory or contractual guarantee or warranty, the amount of the refund will not include the refund of any delivery or return delivery charge(s) incurred by the purchaser.

We cannot and do not offer refunds of products after alteration.

We do not refund clearance stock sold in ‘as is’ condition unless the product does not comply with the provisions of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010.

Sale items cannot be returned for a refund unless it is deemed (reasonably and in good faith by us) as faulty or defective.

All products returned for refund, replacement or repair will be subject to a quality assurance inspection undertaken by qualified AUTORE MODA personnel and no refund will be allowed or offered should the inspection reveal, to the extent permitted by law, damage due to ordinary wear and tear, misuse, accident, abuse, alteration, substitution, improper repair or warranty service performed by someone other than us or our authorised repairers, theft, disappearance, loss (including loss of stones or pearls) or any other type of use causing deterioration.

Refunds can and will only be processed through www.autoremoda.com

EXCHANGES

We will accept exchanges for sizing and/or material of the same product, or for another product. If you would like to exchange your piece for another product, and there is a price variance, you will be charged the difference. If you purchase something on sale or promotion, that price is only valid for the duration of that sale or promotional period. During sale and promotional periods, we are only able to offer an exchange for credit note due to high sell through of stock. If you would like to exchange your item, please get in touch with our customer service team within 30 days of purchase. See full return & exchange policy here. Please note that there is a limit of 1 exchange per purchase, i.e. you cannot exchange an item more than once within 30 days of original purchase.

REPEATED RETURNS/EXCHANGES

At AUTORE MODA, we offer a flexible returns policy to ensure you receive an unrivalled shopping experience. However, if we notice that you have an unusually high returns/exchange rate on your account or are purchasing to resell, we may deactivate your account at our discretion. If you feel your access or order has been incorrectly restricted, please get in touch with our Customer Service team, who will help to resolve the issue with you.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTION AND OR MERCHANT FEES OR CHARGES

Payment for purchases from the Site by a non-Australian dollar denominated credit card may incur an international transaction fee or merchant fee (including currency conversion charges) imposed on the purchaser by their bank or credit card issuer. We have no control over such fees and we accept no liability for them. Purchasers should make enquiries of their bank and or credit card issuer and familiarise themselves with what costs, fees or charges they may incur prior to effecting a transaction on the Site.

REPAIRS TO JEWELLERY

AUTORE MODA accepts no liability in respect of any and all jewellery repairs (which we note are at the customer’s risk) unless the repairs are to an AUTORE MODA piece returned due to a manufacturing defect or damage suffered during transit in accordance with these T&C’s. Repairs requested other than in respect of a defect in materials or workmanship discovered during the 12 month warranty period may incur a fee. Authorised repairs do not extend the initial 12 month (from purchase) warranty period. Tarnishing of Sterling Silver or Gold plating is not a manufacturing defect and are not covered under the AUTORE MODA warranty.

An inspection and assessment will be carried out by a qualified expert authorised and performed by us prior to any repair taking place – this assessment will detail the condition & necessary repair of the item(s).

Any mere representation by a Customer Service team member whether upon receipt of the piece of jewellery for repair or otherwise, shall not be relied upon by you as an assessment of the value, quality or authenticity of the jewellery item.

Any guarantee noted on your repair does not include damage or issues that arise from wear and tear, accidental damage, misuse or abuse.
