In addition to the Terms of Use, these terms and conditions (the 'Terms of Purchase') set out the additional terms and conditions under which you may purchase products and services from us. By purchasing products or services from us, an agreement exists between you and us, once we accept the order. Each accepted order is a separate agreement.
​
Customer Accounts
​
You may, but are not required, to create a Customer Account before placing any orders with us. However, regardless of whether you create an account with us or not, you must provide us with certain information and data to place an order with us. You warrant that all information and data provided by you is accurate, complete, and up to date. You will promptly notify us if there is any change to this information or data. You must take responsibility for the safekeeping of your username and password, as you are liable if an unauthorised person uses your username and password.
​
Orders
​
You place an order with us by selecting products and services and pressing the 'Place Order' button on the checkout page. We reserve the right to accept or reject an order for any reason including without limitation, unavailability of product; an error in the price, image, or the product description; an error in your order. Orders are deemed received by us at the time of successful transmission of the order, and you will thereafter be unable to cancel the order. Orders are deemed accepted by us upon us acknowledging such order or failing to reject such order within 14 days. We only accept orders from mainland Australia and Tasmania.
​
Product Availability
​
We use our best endeavours to ensure products ordered are available for delivery, and in most cases will notify you where a product is unavailable prior to you completing your order. However, you acknowledge that in some cases this is not possible and we may need to reject an order you have placed for a product or service where we established that it is actually unavailable for delivery. In such cases, we will refund in full all amounts you paid in respect of such unavailable product or service. We cannot provide rainchecks for products ordered online and, where permitted by law, reserve the right to limit the sale of products or services to reasonable or normal household quantities.
​
Payment
​
You must pay for your products and services purchased on the Sites at the time of placing an order. We accept all major credit cards including Mastercard, Visa, American Express, and Diners Club.
We use third-party payment processors ('Payment Processors') for the processing of payments. They are detailed in the 'Payment Method'. We will not directly store or collect your payment details. That information is directly provided to our Payment Processors, whose use of your personal information is governed by their Privacy Policy. For more information about our Payment Processors and how they handle your information, please see our Privacy Policy. By using these Payment Processors you are also entering an agreement with them. Refund times and processing are also managed by them.
​

​
Promotional Codes
​
We may from time to time issue promotional codes ('Promo Codes'). These Promo Codes are personal to the individuals we issue them to and cannot be transferred unless otherwise directed (for example, where we issue you with a Promo Code which benefits your friends, family, or other individuals you share the code with). For the benefit of any doubt, promotional codes can not be sold for profit.
The Promo Codes are subject to the terms disclosed at the time of issue. We reserve the right to cancel any or all Promo Codes at any time if we suspect error, fraud or any other abuse of the Promo Code is occurring.

Delivery terms included, delivery areas, delivery costs, and estimated delivery times are contained in our Delivery & Returns Policy.

Tracking, Cookies, and Usage Data
While using our Sites and creating an account with us, you may be able to upload a photograph of yourself as a Profile Picture for your account. Photographs of an individual may be classed as 'sensitive information' if it is used for the purpose of automated biometric verification or biometric identification. There are specific regulations and requirements under the Privacy Act for sensitive information. Biometric data relates to the statistical analysis of biological data (for example, your appearance). It is important to note that we do not actively request that you provide this information to us, nor is it used for automated biometric verification or biometric identification.
If you upload a photo of yourself to an account on our Sites as a Profile Picture, you acknowledge and agree that you do so freely and you accept the inherent risks associated with uploading this type of information on an online forum. However, we will treat this information in the same way we do personal information and with the same level of security.
We do not collect government-related identifiers, such as a Tax File Number or Medicare Card Number.
The Sites are directed toward a general audience and are not directed at nor intended for use by children.

From time to time, we may provide aggregated and de-identified information to other business partners for various purposes.
​
Third-Party Service Providers
​

​
Accessing and correcting your information and questions
​
When You can access, correct and/or update personal information that you have provided to us within the 'My Account' area of our Sites.
You may request access to any personal information we hold about you at any time by contacting us using the contact details provided at the end of this Policy. Where we hold information that you are entitled to access, we will try to provide you with suitable means of accessing it (for example, by posting or emailing a copy to you). We may charge you a reasonable fee to cover our administrative and other reasonable costs in providing the information to you. We will not charge you a fee for simply making an access request, as is your right to do so.
There may be instances where we cannot grant you access to the personal information that we hold about you. For example, we may need to refuse access if granting access would interfere with the privacy of others or if it would result in a breach of confidentiality. If that happens, we will give you written reasons for any refusal and set out any mechanisms available to you to complain about our refusal of your request.
If you believe that information, we hold about you, is incorrect, incomplete, or inaccurate, then you may request that we correct it. We will consider if the information requires correction. If we do not agree that there are grounds for correcting your personal information, then (if you so request) we will add a note to the personal information stating that you disagree with it. We will not charge you for making a request that your personal information is corrected, for correcting your personal information, or adding a note to the personal information stating that you disagree with it.
Payment Methods
​Native Bee & Co may provide paid products and/or services within our Sites. In that case, we use third-party service providers for payment processing ('Payment Processors').

These Payment Processors adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS, as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
