  • 2.1 Information on the Products and relevant prices are available on the Website.

    2.2 We use our best efforts regarding the availability of any Product you order. If the Product you ordered is not available, no Contract for the purchase of that Product can be entered into.

    2.3 Given the handmade nature of the Products, the Product images displayed on the Website may not correspond to their actual appearance. In particular, the colours, shade, grain, texture of the Products shown on your screen may vary from those on the actual Product. Therefore, you shall rely exclusively on the Product descriptions set out on the Website.

  • 3.1 Prices of Products set out on the Website are in New Zealand Dollars, unless specified otherwise, and are inclusive of any applicable sales taxes.

    3.2 Prices do not include delivery charges which, if any, shall be added to the price of the Products and will be communicated to you during the checkout process before you confirm your order.

    3.3 We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all prices for the Products displayed on the Website are correct. Occasionally, an error may occur and Products may be mispriced. In which case we will, at our discretion:

    • cancel your order or terminate the Contract, and notify you of such cancellation or termination; or

    • contact you and ask you whether you wish to purchase the Product at the correct price.

    3.4 We reserve the right to change the Products prices at any time and without notice by updating the Website. Such changes will not apply to Products for which you have received an Order Acceptance.

    4.4 All orders submitted by you are subject to our acceptance. Once you place your order, we will acknowledge it by email (“Order Confirmation”).

    4.5 An Order Confirmation does not mean that your order has been accepted. We may choose not to accept your order for any legitimate reason, in whole or in part, without liability to you. Examples of non-acceptance of your orders are as follows:

    • the Products are not available;

    • you do not comply with the eligibility conditions set out in these General Terms;

    4.7 Once you receive the Order Acceptance you can no longer cancel or modify your order unless otherwise provided in these General Terms.

  • 5.1 You must pay the price of the Products (including applicable taxes and duties), and the associated delivery charges, if any.

    5.2 If your payment cannot be processed for any reason, we will cancel your order and the Contract with you will end immediately, without liability to you.

    5.4 For each Contract, we will issue an electronic invoice for the purchased Products, and you agree to such a form of invoicing.

    5.5 As the purchaser, you represent and warrant that:

    • you have legally obtained the funds used to make your purchase and that you are not engaged in any transaction designed to conceal the identity, source or destination of the funds with which you make your purchase; and

  • 9.1 If you find that a Product has manufacturing defects or is not as described, please contact us immediately to arrange for the repair or exchange of the Product.

    9.2 Damage, alteration or modification to the Products caused by you is not a manufacturing defect or a lack of conformity. For example, any damage caused by extensive use or wear; improper use (such as contact with direct exposure to heat, contact with harmful external agents); normal tear and wear; non-observance of applicable care instructions, are not manufacturing defects or a lack of conformity.

    9.3 Variations in the colour of the stones, presence of inclusions or variation in the look of the final finishing are inherent to the Product and not manufacturing defects.

    9.4 In the event you request the repair, replacement or return of a Product due to manufacturing defect, BILLY PHAIN will bear the delivery costs for returning the Products to be repaired, replaced or returned, as well as any costs to deliver back to you the repaired or replaced Products.

  • 10.1 These General Terms set out the full extent of our obligations and liabilities in respect of the sale of the Products.

    10.2 Nothing in these General Terms seeks to exclude or limit our liability or BILLY PHAIN’s liability for personal injury or death resulting from our negligence, breach of any obligations implied by applicable consumer protection laws, or any other cause of action which cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

    10.3 Subject to the above, our aggregate liability, which shall be limited solely to direct damages, caused by a breach, that you suffer in respect of all claims and causes of action, arising under or in connection with these General Terms and each Contract, shall in no event exceed the price of the Products purchased by you on the Website under that Contract.

    10.4 We shall not be liable to you for any indirect or consequential damages.

    10.5 We are not responsible for any delay or failure to perform any of the obligations under these General Terms if the delay or failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or arises from any cause which is beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation any of the following: act of God, governmental act, war, civil war, fire, natural disaster, epidemic, terrorist activities, national strikes, embargo, interruption or failure in information technology, failure of third parties (such as our suppliers) to perform their obligations to us (a “Force Majeure Event”).

We reserve all such rights.
