Terms & Conditions

Hi, and welcome to Love Tree Interiors Online Store

 

Here you can view our products, get an insight into our business and hopefully buy some of our excellent range of quality products!

There are a few boring legal things to get out of the way first, though, so before using our Website, we kindly ask to read the following terms and conditions:

• Other consumer laws applying in each Australian State or Territory; and/or
• Our Refunds Policy below.

Australian Consumer Law

If there is a minor problem with your Goods (as defined in the Australian Consumer Law) we may repair the Goods instead of offering you a replacement or a refund.

We invite you to notify us of any damaged goods as soon as possible by emailing us at sales@thefamilylovetree.com.au.

If you have damaged the goods yourself, or you have failed to take proper care of the Goods we may not be able to provide you with a repair, refund or replacement. We advise reading our care instructions on our product page for our recommendations prior to purchasing our products.

Change or Cancellation of Orders

As we process your orders immediately for the prompt delivery of your order, we regret that cancellation or change to your order may not be possible unless we receive your request by phone or email within 24 hours placing your original order. No cancellation or change of orders will be accepted once your order has been dispatched.

Out of Stock Items

The Love Tree Interiors will contact you immediately in the unforeseen event that you have purchased an item that is out of stock or unavailable.
We will discuss with you your options for choosing an alternative item or where possible putting an order in for the original item. If you choose to put in an order for the original item we will give you an estimated time for filling the order.
If neither of these options suits, The Family Love Tree will also allow you to cancel your order with a full refund given.

Delivery

Our goal is to deliver your purchase as quickly as possible.

Delivery process and times

While all effort is made to ensure that Goods purchased from our Website will be processed within 48 hours of receiving your order, we cannot guarantee processing times. We generally use third party delivery companies to deliver your order. By placing an order for Goods you agree that your details, such as name, contact numbers, delivery address, will be passed to those third parties. While we aim to get your order delivered to you within 5 – 10 working days, in the unlikely event of extended delays, we will endeavour to inform you. Any questions or follow up regarding delivery can be directed by email to warehouse@thefamilylovetree.com.au. Further, you agree that notwithstanding anything in these Terms, we are not liable with respect to any loss, damage, cost or expense you or any third party suffers as a result of a change in delivery times or delay in delivery.

Where an order contains two or more Goods we cannot guarantee that they will be dispatched and delivered to you together. They may be dispatched separately and we may use different third party delivery companies for delivering them. If you ask us to leave a Good at a delivery address, we are not responsible for loss, damage or theft of Goods once the Goods are delivered to that address. Some people may also prefer to have their Goods shipped to a business address as an additional precaution.

Further, if you require Goods that you have ordered to be redirected to an address other than your original order address, we may charge you a reasonable fee for doing this.

Shipping charges

Shipping charges for delivery within Australia are automatically calculated during the checkout process. Any queries relating to standard shipping within Australia can be directed to us at info@thefamilylovetree.com.au.

What if I live outside Australia?

While we accept orders from outside Australia, should the redirection be possible, you acknowledge and agree that we will only use a door-to-door Economy Air Freight service to deliver Goods and you agree to your details including your delivery address to be supplied to the agent for the purpose of delivering your Goods. Further, on delivery, you may be required to sign a proof of delivery document. If you are not available to take delivery a calling card containing the relevant contact details will be left at the delivery address. It is your responsibility to follow the instructions stated on the calling card. If Goods are required to be redelivered, you may be required to pay any associated fees for redelivery.

In some cases, we may agree to ship our Goods outside Australia. We will endeavour to make a standard delivery rate available for a limited range of Goods and will publish this standard delivery rate on the “International Shipping” page of our Website. For shipping of all other items, please contact us at sales@thefamilylovetree.com.au and provide us with your full shipping address and the list of Goods that you wish to purchase. We aim to get back to you within 24 hours with our quote.

Collecting my Goods

You may elect to collect your goods directly from our store which is located at 200 - 202 Chapel Street, Prahran, Victoria 3181, Australia. Please call 03 9568 1962 to arrange a pickup time, as we are open irregular hours.

Pre-Orders and Back-Orders

Pre-orders are orders for Goods which are new stock which is expected to arrive in the near future. All pre-orders are paid for at the time of placing an order. Expected delivery times on pre-ordered Goods are approximate and are subject to change. All pre-orders are non-refundable once full payment is made and you may not cancel your pre-order (subject to our Cancellation Policy above). For questions about pre-orders, contact us with your name, delivery address and contact numbers at sales@thefamilylovetree.com.au..

Back-orders are for Goods which are temporarily out of stock and can be placed through our Website. We will provide you with an estimated delivery date within 48 hours of ordering and will do our best to deliver your back-order within 2 – 16 weeks. Please note delivery dates are estimates only and are subject to change due to unforeseen supply issues and/or unexpected demand may occasionally result in further delays in the delivery schedule.

Details you provide us with
