4.    Price and price increases
We will notify you of the price for the goods when you place your order. In limited circumstances out of our control we may need to increase the price if there is an increase in our costs between the date of an order and the date the goods are ready for delivery. If this occurs, we will notify you and you will have the option to cancel your order but we will not be liable for any losses you incur in connection with the cancellation. 

5.    GST
Unless otherwise stated, the prices for the goods are exclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST). You must pay GST at the same time and in the same manner as the consideration for the goods. We will give you a tax invoice showing the applicable GST.

We will cover the charges for returning the goods if we accept that they are defective.

9.    Payment terms
