Payment for orders placed through this site may be made by:
Credit or debit card — all online card payments are processed securely through Stripe (https://stripe.com). We accept all major credit and debit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express and other cards supported by Stripe; or

The Company does not store your credit or debit card details. All card payment information is handled directly by Stripe in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). For more information about how Stripe handles your payment data, please refer to Stripe’s privacy policy at https://stripe.com/privacy.

If you elect to pay by EFT, after your order has been submitted we will provide you with our bank account details and the reference number for your order. Please quote the reference number for the EFT transaction to avoid delays in processing your order.
9.3 Refunds
Except as expressly provided otherwise in these Terms of Use, or as required by the Australian Consumer Law, all amounts paid through this site are non-refundable. Further information on remedies is provided under Section 13 (“Remedies Limited”) below.
Where a refund is approved, it will be processed to the original payment method used for the transaction (i.e., card refunds will be returned to the card via Stripe, and EFT payments will be returned to the originating bank account). Refunds may take up to fourteen (14) business days to be processed and to appear on the Customer’s statement, depending on the Customer’s financial institution.

The Company may request further information from you, such as identification documentation, as part of our internal validation procedures. These procedures help protect account holders from online fraud. Until your order has passed our fraud prevention checks, your order will remain on pending status. If further information is requested and you do not provide it within such time as the Company considers appropriate, your order will be cancelled and, if your payment has been received, it will be refunded to you.
