To the extent permitted by law:

(a)  any terms and conditions contained in previous offers or Orders; and

(b)  any statements, representations or conduct made or done prior to entering into these Terms and Conditions,

are excluded from these Terms and Conditions.

2.3 Girlosophy may amend these Terms and Conditions at any time in respect of Orders received from the Buyer after the time that Girlosophy posts the amended Terms and Conditions on the Website.

2.4 The Buyer agrees to these Terms and Conditions by placing an Order. 

3. ORDERS

3.1 The depiction of goods on the Website, whether visual or textual, is not to be construed as an obligation to sell but merely an invitation to treat.

3.2 An Order will constitute the Buyer's offer to purchase the ordered goods from Girlosophy.  No contractual relationship shall arise until Girlosophy notifies the Buyer that the Order is accepted by providing an Invoice to the Buyer.

3.3 Girlosophy reserves the right to accept or decline the Buyer’s Order at any time for any reason, or to require the Buyer to provide additional verification or information associated with the Order before accepting or declining the Order.

4.2 If an Order is placed for a good that is marked as anything other than 'available' or 'in stock':

(a)  the Buyer acknowledges that shipping of the goods will be delayed for at least the time it takes Girlosophy to source new stock; and

(b)  Girlosophy may in its discretion contact the Buyer with an estimated shipping time.

4.3 If an Order contains goods that are marked 'available' or 'in stock' as well as goods that are marked otherwise, paragraph 4.2 will apply to the entire Order.  However, Girlosophy reserves the right to make part shipments of any Order and each part shipment shall constitute a separate contract for the sale of goods.  Failure to make a shipment of one part of an Order shall not invalidate the contract as regards other parts. 

4.4 Girlosophy will notify the Buyer if Girlosophy becomes aware of circumstances which will delay shipping beyond a reasonable time after:

(a) the one business day shipping time applicable to most Orders solely for goods marked 'available' or 'in stock' (see paragraph 4.1); or

4.6 Girlosophy will use a standard parcel delivery service for deliveries to addresses within Australia, unless Girlosophy sends an email agreeing to use an alternative (for example, faster) service in response to a Buyer's request made by email to help@girlosophy.com.  Once shipped, Orders sent by the standard parcel delivery service are generally received within 7 to 10 business days.

4.7 Girlosophy will use an international Air Mail parcel delivery service for deliveries to addresses outside of Australia, unless Girlosophy sends an email agreeing to use an alternative (for example, faster) service in response to a Buyer's request made by email to help@girlosophy.com.  The time taken to deliver goods to addresses outside of Australia depends on the country of destination.  Please allow up to 20 business days.
