By making an Order, you expressly authorise Pittella, before accepting your Order (or at any time thereafter), to perform credit and security checks and, where Pittella considers it desirable to do so, to transmit or to obtain information (including any updated information) about you to or from third parties from time to time, including but not limited to your credit card number, to validate your credit card, to obtain an initial credit card authorisation, to conduct loss minimisation and anti-fraud measures and to authorise individual purchase transactions.

8. Purchase of Products via the Site

Any Order for Products made via the Site will be deemed to be made in accordance with Pittella’s Standard Terms and these Terms.

You may offer to purchase Products described on the Site for the price specified on the Site (which are inclusive of GST unless stated otherwise). In all other respects, the price is exclusive of taxes, duties and charges (including any Additional Charges) imposed or levied in Australia or overseas in connection with the supply of the Products that are not expressly stated as being included in the price on the ‘check out’ page of the Site when placing the Order. It will be your responsibility pay the cost of any such taxes, duties or charges imposed or levied on the supply of Products (including international orders), in addition to the price of the Products and the Additional Charges. All payments are to be made in the currency stated when placing the Order on the Site, and you are responsible for all currency conversion, banking or similar fees in respect of any payments to Pittella (and you must reimburse Pittella for any of the foregoing on demand).

Your Order must contain your name, email address, credit card details and any other ordering information specified on the Site or as otherwise required by Pittella from time to time, and Pittella may treat you has having provided any of these pieces of information if the information is contained in your Account. The process for acceptance and handling of Orders is addressed in the Standard Terms. Without limiting Pittella’s rights under the Standard Terms:

(a) you may not cancel an Order once it has been submitted, even if our acceptance or rejection of your Offer is still pending;

(b) if Pittella rejects your offer to purchase Products for any reason, Pittella will not be under any further Liability to you arising out of your original offer or our non-acceptance of that offer;

(c) Pittella gives no undertaking as to the availability of Products advertised on the Site;

(d) delivery of the goods to you will be effected in the manner described on the Site and any prices quoted on the Site do not include any delivery, transport or other Additional Charges that may be incurred pursuant to the Standard Terms;

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, if there is a range of prices advertised on the Site for a type or class of products the subject of an Order, the range of prices is not binding on Pittella (as the actual price will depend on various matters such as the size of the product and the chosen finishes for the product) and only the final price displayed when the Order is placed will be the price for the Products (subject to any provisions in the Standard Terms that allow Pittella to vary the price);

(f) title in the Products does not pass to you until all monies owing by you and the Customer have been received in full; and

(g) risk of loss or damage to the Products passes to you upon dispatch, unless the Standard Terms expressly provide to the contrary.

When you place an Order, you may receive an Order confirmation by email. This email will only be an acknowledgement of receipt of your Order and will not constitute acceptance of your Order. A contract between us for the purchase of the Products will not be formed until you receive a shipment confirmation via email from Pittella or the Standard Terms provide for a contract to be formed earlier.

Pittella is not obliged to supply the Product to you until Pittella has accepted your Order. Pittella may refuse to accept an Order from you for any reason, including due to unavailability of stock, suspicion that you might on-sell the Products to consumers, errors in respect of the Order or Products (including any error in the prices, images or Product descriptions or wrongful inclusion of an item in a particular sale or promotion on the Site) or if Pittella suspects your Order or payment method is fraudulent. Without limiting any other provision in these Terms or the Standard Terms, Pittella reserves the right to reject any Order if Pittella, in its discretion, suspects that you may be purchasing any Products to commercially resupply them for a price higher than Pittella’s trade price specified on the Site at the time the Order was accepted.

Pittella may cancel a contract to supply Products if the Products are not available for any reason. Pittella will notify you if this is the case and return any payment that you have made using the same method originally used by you to pay for the Product. If the refund transaction fails, Pittella will advise you of this and make arrangements to process the refund via a different method.

If you place an Order via the Site, you must pay for the Order in full at the time of ordering by one of the payment methods accept on the Site. You must be fully entitled to use the payment method used for purchases and the payment method must have sufficient funds, credit or other payment facilities to cover the purchase. Pittella is not responsible for the decisions of payment providers to allow you to use their service or provide any warranties or assurances about them. If a particular service is not available to you, you should use another valid payment method. You may elect to store your payment methods to your Account for future purchases, if such a facility is available via the Site.

If you discover that you have made a mistake with your Order after you have submitted it to the Site, please contact Pittella immediately. Pittella cannot guarantee that it will be able to amend your Order in accordance with your instructions and fees may be applicable to process a change in accordance with the Standard Terms.

This does not affect Pittella's liability for death or personal injury arising from its negligence, fraudulent misrepresentation or misrepresentation as to a fundamental matter which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

Due to photographic and screen limitations associated with the representation of products on the Site, some actual Products may differ to a certain extent in visual appearance from the way they appear on the Site.

So far as possible where any provision (or part of it) can be severed to render the remaining part valid, the clause must be interpreted accordingly. Alternatively, you agree that the clause must be rectified and interpreted in such a way that closely resembles the original meaning of the clause/sub-clause as is permitted by law.
