b) Ordering of Products
You may purchase products by selecting and submitting an order on our Primary Website in accordance with these Terms.
Any order that we receive from you in relation to a product on our Primary Website is treated as an offer by you (either to us, or the third party provider, as the case may be). It is an offer made by you to purchase the product for the price listed (inclusive of any fees and charges). The offer is made at the time that the order is made, and on these Terms.
In order to process any orders, we may require additional information from you. Where we do request such information, you must provide accurate, complete and up to date information so that we can confirm the details of the order.
We reserve the right, without prior notice, to limit the order quantity on any product or service and/or to refuse service to any customer.

- we confirm that the product(s) you have ordered are available for delivery;
- the payment made by you for the product(s) is approved by us and we have debited the amount of the order from your debit or credit card or other payment method (i.e. when the payment is cleared); and

You may be required to pay for the delivery charges after the first unsuccessful delivery attempt, if any.
Delivery times are indicative only and are based on estimates indicated by our delivery providers and the typical delivery times experienced by us. At certain times, delivery times may be longer than what is advised (such as in busy periods, including sale and holiday seasons).
We will only make delivery of a product where we are able to deliver it to a person who can sign for it at the delivery address, or where we have received your express authorisation to leave a product at the delivery address.

Where we cannot deliver the product to a person who can sign for it, and do not have an express authorisation to leave the product at the delivery location, we will leave the product at the post office from where you must collect it within 7 days, after which the product will be returned to us. You may contact our customer care to arrange another time for delivery. If you do not contact our customer care within 7 days, we will cancel your order and refund your money.
