If You are a Guest, an invoice will be created and sent to You with Your Order.

  1. Delivery of Orders

Opal will deliver the Goods to Your Delivery Address.  

In the event that a Good that You Order is not available, or Opal is otherwise unable to fulfil Your Order, we will notify You to arrange an alternative Good, a backorder, or a full refund/credit.

The Goods will be packed in accordance with Opal’s standard practice and procedures, and the cost of packing is included in the Purchase Price. 

Delivery costs will be separate to the Purchase Price and will be calculated based on a combination of factors including delivery requirements, Goods ordered, destination, weight and subtotal of Your Order.

Orders for fibre packaging (including cartons) may be subject to a delivery tolerance of +/- 10%.

Once the Goods are delivered to You, You are responsible for their use, storage, handling, and maintenance. Opal is not responsible to the extent that Goods are used, stored, handled or maintained incorrectly or inappropriately after delivery to You.

You acknowledge that the Goods are sold to You for Your use only.

  1. Returns for defective Goods

In the unlikely event that a Good You receive from us has manufacturing defects or is otherwise faulty, You may request a replacement or a refund/credit by contacting Opal via the contact details on the Website.

You must notify Opal of such defective Goods within twenty-one (21) days after receipt of the Goods. You acknowledge that Opal may extend the twenty-one (21) day limit if Goods have latent defects, that is, where a Good contains defects that You could not have reasonably detected at the time of delivery. In such cases, You must notify Opal within fourteen (14) days of discovering the defect.

If Opal reasonably considers that Your notification of the Goods being defective has been made in good faith, we will arrange for collection of the relevant Goods from the Delivery Address.

If You are an Account Holder, Opal will either replace the Goods, or provide You with a credit against Your account for the amount of the Goods that were defective.

If You are a Guest, Opal will either replace the Goods, or provide You with a refund for the amount of the Goods that were defective.

This clause and these Conditions of Sale do not limit Your rights or Opal’s obligations under the Australian Consumer Law.

  1. Returns for change of mind 

You acknowledge that if You request a refund where the Good is not defective (for example due to a change of mind, ordering of the wrong Good or similar), You must notify Opal within twenty-one (21) days of delivery.

Opal may decline to accept the return where the Goods have been opened, used, damaged, or are in such a condition that we cannot sell them to other customers. When You return a Good, we will examine the returned Good and will confirm by email whether we will provide a credit/refund or exchange within a reasonable period of time.

All returns where the Good is not defective or faulty will incur a re-stocking fee.

Customised Goods will not be accepted for return unless they are defective or faulty.

The processes set out in this clause are in all cases subject to the rights You may have under the Australian Consumer Law.

  1. Suitability of Goods

You acknowledge that You have read and understood the information about the Goods contained on the Website and have formed Your own view as to whether the Goods are suitable for Your needs.

You acknowledge that the Goods may appear differently to how they appear on the Website, depending on the device and screen through which You access the Website. Colours in particular can vary widely from screen to screen.

Our Goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. To the extent permitted by Law, all other terms, conditions, warranties and representations expressed or implied by statute, common law, equity, trade, custom or usage are expressly excluded.

  1. Future Availability of Goods

Opal is committed to providing quality Goods that meet our customers’ needs, but we cannot guarantee that the Goods You purchase will continue to be available for purchase in the future. If a Good becomes unavailable, please contact us to see what we can do.

  1. Customised Goods

Opal will not be responsible or liable for any Goods to the extent that the Goods are:

  • made or performed to designs, drawings, specifications or procedures or with any materials which are provided or approved by or on behalf of You; and
  • used, stored, handled or maintained incorrectly or inappropriately after delivery to You.

 

It is Your sole responsibility to ensure that materials, designs, drawings, specifications and procedures provided by or on behalf of You, to be used by Opal in manufacturing and supplying Goods are correct, appropriate and comply with all applicable laws.

  1. Risk and Title

Risk in any Goods supplied to You through the Website passes to You immediately upon delivery or collection of the Goods (as applicable).

Legal and equitable title in the Goods is retained by Opal until Opal receives payment in full for the Purchase Price, delivery costs and any applicable taxes in accordance with these Conditions of Sale.

  1. Intellectual Property

If Opal and You agree that Opal will use Your materials or intellectual property to manufacture the Goods pursuant to a Contract, You hereby grant to Opal an irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide, non-exclusive licence, to use Your materials or intellectual property to the extent required to perform its obligations under a Contract.

  1. Force Majeure

A Party will not be in default or breach of these Terms or a Contract, or will not otherwise be liable to the other Party, for any delay or failure to perform arising from a Force Majeure Event.

  1. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Law, Opal’s liability in connection with any Order, Contract or these Conditions of Sale or the supply of (or failure to supply) Goods to You will be limited to:

  • the replacement of the Goods or the supply of equivalent goods; or
  • the payment of the cost of replacing the Goods or acquiring equivalent Goods.

To the maximum extent permitted by Law, neither party will be liable to any person or entity for any Consequential Loss, and this exclusion of liability will apply whether the liability or claim is based on breach of contract, repudiation, tort (including negligence), under statute, in equity or otherwise.

  1. Warranties and acknowledgement

You represent and warrant to Opal that at all times:

  • You are duly authorised to permit Opal to use the trade marks, copyright material and any material You specifically request Opal to use on or in connection with the Goods; and
  • Opal’s use of the trade marks, copyright material and any material You specifically request Opal to use on or in connection with the Goods will not infringe the intellectual property rights of any party and will not breach any Law.
