Conclusion of Sale
Users may place orders for any product contained on the Website (‘Goods’), which Carriwell may accept or reject.
Placing an order on the Website does not constitute an agreement of sale – whether or not Carriwell accepts an order for Goods via the Website depends on the availability of Goods, correctness of the information relating to the Goods (such as the price), and receipt of payment for the Goods.
Notwithstanding any communication from Carriwell stating that your order or payment has been confirmed, we will indicate the acceptance of your order by delivering the Goods to you and only at that point will an agreement of sale between you and Carriwell come into effect. In the event an order needs to be rejected, Carriwell will indicate the rejection of your order by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount paid.
Prior to delivery of the Goods, you may cancel an order at any time, provided you do so before the goods have been dispatched. After delivery of the Goods, you may cancel the sale and return Goods only in accordance with the Returns Policy. The Returns Policy is incorporated by reference herein (which means that it forms part of these Terms of Use).
You acknowledge that stock of all Goods on offer is limited. We will take all reasonable efforts to monitor stock levels and ensure that when stock (or materials used to manufacture Goods) is no longer available, that offers thereof are discontinued on the Website. However, we cannot guarantee the availability of stock and when Goods are no longer available after placing an order, Carriwell will notify you, and you will receive a refund.

You warrant that you will include the correct shipping address in all orders, and in the event of an incorrect address or incorrect information, we will not be liable or responsible for any loss you may suffer.
Carriwell’s obligation to deliver Goods to you is fulfilled when we deliver the product to the shipping address nominated by you for delivery of the order. We are not responsible for any loss or unauthorised use of a product, after the Goods are delivered to the shipping address nominated by you.
We will notify you if we are unable to deliver the Goods during the Delivery Period due to the unavailability of material or any other circumstances. You may then, within (2) two days of receiving such notification elect whether or not to cancel your order for the Goods or take a replacement. If you elect to cancel your order, we will refund you.
The delivery cost is an estimate, which is based on third party costs that our out of our control. Due to this, the delivery cost may change, on notice to you, at any time, and you specifically agree to pay these delivery costs.
Undeliverable packages
Occasionally packages are returned to us as undeliverable. Should this event take place every attempt will be made to contact you to make arrangements for re-shipment of the Goods.
You agree that in the event of an undeliverable package, you will pay the cost of the re-shipment.

For the avoidance of doubt: we will not be required to execute an order or compensate a Customer for any loss if it should have been clear to the Customer that an error was made by us, or where it should have been clear that it involved a typographical error; or if the consumer should not, under the circumstances, have reasonably relied on the price and/or product in question.
