3. PRICES
3.1 All prices (including advertised discount prices) include GST and exclude any additional delivery charges. The total value of your order including GST and delivery charges will be displayed on the order confirmation screen. The displayed price is the amount in New Zealand dollars ($ NZD) that you will pay.
3.2 Due to the fact that our service is offered and managed by Jacobs Douwe Egberts NZ, any payment for an online purchase from outside of New Zealand may constitute an international transaction which may be charged by your bank with additional fees.
3.3 Prices of the Products and our delivery charges will be as quoted on our Website at the point of ordering (subject to revision for errors).
3.4 Our Product prices and delivery charges are liable to change at any time. Any changes made to our Product prices and delivery charges after a Dispatch Confirmation has been sent out to you will not affect any order which you have already placed. A Dispatch Confirmation is explained in more detail at clause 4.10 below.
3.5 Our Website contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our Website may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less that our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our Website, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
3.6 We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation (see clause 4.10 below), if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably been recognised by you as an error.

4.1 You can order our Products online using our Website. By placing an order on our Website you represent and warrant that you have the legal right our authorisation to use the payment methods you have selected.
4.2Whilst every effort will be made to ensure that all items shown in our online Product catalogue are in stock we offer no guarantee of availability and our New Zealand Careline and this electronic publication does not constitute an offer for sale capable of acceptance by you submitting an order.
4.3 If ordering on our Website, when we receive your order we will automatically send you an e-mail confirming acknowledgement of receipt of your order details ("Confirmation Email"). This Confirmation Email is not a guarantee of availability nor acceptance of an offer. All orders are subject to acceptance by us.
4.4 To ensure your order is dealt with promptly, we require your full, correct address details, including a New Zealand postcode, a day time contact telephone number and your e-mail address (if you have one). The billing address you provide to us must be the same as the billing address you have notified to and registered with your selected credit/debit card company or other payment services provider as this is used to validate your order.
4.5 Your order will only be processed if full payment details are given. Failure to supply the correct details will result in your order being held pending the supply of the correct details.

You may pay using any of the payment methods listed on the PSP's page after your order is transferred to their website for payment.
4.7 We reserve the right to accept or reject your order in our discretion and will do so within a reasonable period after your order is received by sending you a notification that your order is rejected (“Cancellation email”).

In case your order is rejected, we will reimburse any amounts paid and/or remove the pre-authorisation on the selected payment method.
4.8 Your detailed payment information will be collected at the point you complete your order, however, our payment will be debited on order dispatch. In some exceptional circumstances order dispatch may be delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, and in this situation, depending on your payment method, payment debit will occur 3 to 7 days after you placing the order. Debiting your payment does not represent acceptance by us of your order or otherwise commit us to a contract with you.
