Restrictions on use

Prohibited conduct

Your use of this site is subject to the rules set out in Schedule 1 below.

Violations of these Terms of Use

Without limiting any other remedies available to the Proprietor at law or in equity, the Proprietor reserves the right to, without notice, temporarily or indefinitely suspend, or terminate, your access to this site or refuse to provide products to you if:

· you breach any provision of these Terms of Use;

· the Proprietor is unable to verify or authenticate any information that you provide to us; or

· the Proprietor believes that your actions may cause damage and/or legal liability to the Proprietor, any of its customers or suppliers or any other person.

· Except to the extent otherwise required by law (including, without limitation, the Australian Consumer Law), Join the Joneses will not be liable to you, or any other person, for any loss, damage, cost or expense suffered as a direct or indirect result of

o your Account information being incomplete or inaccurate; or

o any unauthorised use of your Password or Account which takes place before you notify Join the Joneses, whether in contract, negligence or any other tort, equity, restitution, strict liability, under statute or otherwise at all.

· If Join the Joneses suffers any loss, damage, cost or expense as a result of any unauthorised use of your Password or Account which takes place before you notify Join the Joneses then you must pay Join the Joneses the amount of that loss, damage, cost or expense if Join the Joneses asks you to.

Indemnity

You indemnify and hold harmless the Proprietor and its employees, agents, consultants, licensors, partners and affiliates from and against any losses, liabilities, costs, expenses or damages (including actual, special, indirect and consequential losses or damages of every kind and nature, including all legal fees on a solicitor-client basis) suffered or incurred by any of them due to, arising out of, or in any way related to (directly or indirectly):

· any material or information that you submit, post, transmit or otherwise make available through this site;

· your use of, or connection to, this site; or

· your negligence or misconduct, breach of these Terms of Use or violation of any law or the rights of any person.

Orders

Order constitutes offer

By placing an order through this site, you make an irrevocable offer to us to purchase the products that you have selected pursuant to these Terms of Use. Information contained in this site constitutes an invitation to treat only. No information in this site constitutes an offer by us to supply any products to you – however, the Proprietor will endeavour to supply your selected products to you.

We will not commence processing any order made through this site unless and until:

· payment for the purchase order has been received by us in full; and

· the order has passed our internal validation procedures, which are undertaken in order to verify the bona fides of each order for the purpose of preventing credit card and other fraud.

We reserve the right at our discretion to:

· at any time prior to your order being accepted in accordance with these Terms of Use, cancel all or part of your order; and

· at any time:

- refuse to provide products to you;

- terminate your access to this site; and/or

- remove or edit any content on this site.

Acceptance of orders

Acceptance of each order will take place if and when the Proprietor ships the requested items to you, at the time at which the items are despatched by the Proprietor. Risk in the items will pass from the Proprietor to you at that time. After the items have been sent, we will send you an email confirming that shipment has taken place. You acknowledge that title and ownership of any hired items does not pass to you at any time. At all times, the Proprietor remains the owner of hired items.

Each Order that you place will, if accepted by Join the Joneses, be a separate and binding agreement between you and Join the Joneses with respect to the supply of the relevant items, in accordance with the Join the Joneses terms and conditions.

Prices

The Proprietor reserves the right to change the prices for products displayed in this site at any time before you place an order.

Shipping costs

Shipping costs will depend upon the location for delivery and the items purchased and are shown separately during checkout.

GST

Unless otherwise expressly stated, all amounts payable through your use of this site are expressed to be inclusive of GST. For these purposes, the term "GST" has the meaning given to it in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth).

Payment methods

Payment for orders placed through this site may be made:

· by credit card processed online using the secure PayPal, or Stripe payment gateway;

· using a PayPal account; or

· via direct bank deposit by electronic funds transfer (EFT).

PayPal secure payment gateway

The Proprietor uses the third party PayPal payment gateway provided by PayPal Australia Pty Limited (ABN 93 111 195 389 ) and the third party Stripe payment gateway provided by Stripe Payments Australia Pty Limited (ABN 66 160 180 343) for its secure online payment transactions. Payments made through PayPal are subject to PayPal’s own terms and conditions and privacy policy, links to which are provided from the PayPal checkout pages. For more information about PayPal, see the PayPal website (http://www.paypal.com.au). Payments made through Stripe are subject to Stripe’s own terms and conditions and privacy policy, links to which are provided from the Stripe checkout pages. For more information about Stripe, see the Stripe’s website (https://stripe.com/en-au).

Unless you expressly consent otherwise, we do not see or have access to any personal information that you may provide to PayPal or Stripe, other than information that is required in order to process your order and deliver your purchased items to you (eg, your name, email address and billing/postal address).

Credit and debit card payments

It is not necessary to have a PayPal or Stripe account in order to purchase an item on this site. PayPal and Stripe accepts all major credit and debit cards. Please note that we may be unable to accept credit cards issued by banks outside of Australia in some cases. The Proprietor does not charge additional transaction fees for paying by credit card.

Payment by EFT

If you elect to pay for an order by direct deposit using EFT, after your order has been submitted, we will send you an email containing instructions for making the payment, or otherwise provide such information to you, including our bank account details and the reference number for your order. Please quote the reference number for the EFT transaction in order to avoid delays in processing your order.

Refunds and other remedies

Except as expressly provided otherwise in these Terms of Use, all amounts paid through this site are non-refundable. Further information on the steps that the Proprietor will take to remedy any breach of any non-excludable condition or warranty/guarantee is provided under the heading "Remedies limited" in these Terms of Use below.

Security

While PayPal, Stripe and our website hosting providers employ secure technology for transactions with our customers, we will not be responsible for any damages, including consequential losses (whether direct or indirect), that may be suffered by a customer whose credit or debit card or bank account information is used in a fraudulent or unauthorised manner by any person other than the Proprietor.

The Proprietor may request further information from you, such as a copy of your credit card and/or other identification documentation, as part of our internal validation procedures. These procedures help protect bank and credit card account holders from online fraud. Until your order has passed our internal fraud prevention checks, your order will remain on pending status. If further information is requested and you do not provide the requested information within such time as the Proprietor considers appropriate at its discretion, your order will be cancelled and, if your payment has been received, it will be refunded back to you.

Intellectual property

Copyright

In these Terms of Use, the term "Proprietary Content" means:

· this site;

· all of its content (including all of the text, graphics, designs, software, data, sound and video files and other information contained in this site, and the selection and arrangement thereof); and

· all software, systems and other information owned or used by the Proprietor in connection with the products offered through this site (whether hosted on the same server as this site or otherwise).

All Proprietary Content is the property of the Proprietor or its licensors (as applicable) and is protected by Australian and international copyright laws. You must not reproduce, transmit, republish or prepare derivative works from any of the Proprietary Content, except as expressly authorised by these Terms of Use or with the prior written consent of the Proprietor or other copyright owner (as applicable).

You may download and print out content from this site only for your own personal and non-commercial use and provided that you do not remove or modify any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notices.

Trademarks

The look and feel of this site (including all button icons, scripts, custom graphics and headers) are the trademarks, service marks and/or trade dress of the Proprietor. These trademarks, service marks and trade dress may not be used, copied or imitated, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Proprietor.

Copyright claims

If you believe that our site contains any material that infringes upon any copyright that you hold or control, or that users are directed through a link on this site to a third party website that you believe is infringing upon any copyright that you hold or control, you may send a notification of such alleged infringement to us in writing. Such notification should identify the works that are allegedly being infringed upon and the allegedly infringing material and give particulars of the alleged infringement. In response to such a notification, we will give a written notice of a claim of copyright infringement to the provider of the allegedly infringing material. If the provider of that material does not respond to us in writing denying the alleged infringement within 14 days after receipt of that notice, we will remove or block the allegedly infringing material as soon as is reasonably practicable. If the provider of that material responds to us in writing denying the alleged infringement, we will, as soon as is reasonably practicable, send a copy of that response to the original notifying party. If the original notifying party does not, within a further 14 days, file an action seeking a court order against the provider of the allegedly infringing material, we may restore any removed or blocked material at our discretion. If the original notifying party files such a legal action, we will remove or block the allegedly infringing material pending resolution of that legal action.

Force majeure

To the maximum extent permitted by law, and without limiting any other provision of these Terms of Use, the Proprietor excludes liability for any delay in performing any of its obligations under these Terms of Use where such delay is caused by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Proprietor, and the Proprietor shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of time for the performance of such obligations.
