SECTION 7 - ACCURACY OF BILLING AND ACCOUNT INFORMATION
We reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made.

You agree to provide current, complete and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made at our store. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.
SECTION 8 - ORDER ACCEPTANCE
Placement of an order does not constitute acceptance by Chronic Australia. All orders are subject to review, verification, and acceptance at our discretion. An order is only considered accepted once the products have been dispatched from our warehouse. Prior to dispatch, we reserve the right to:
- Cancel all or part of the order;
- Adjust quantities;
- Request additional verification from the customer;
- Refund payment in full without further obligation.
In the event of a pricing error on our website (including products displayed at significantly below cost, or promotions applied in error), we reserve the right to cancel any affected order and refund any payment made, regardless of whether an order confirmation has been issued.
SECTION 9 - SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
Unless otherwise stated, all orders are dispatched from our NSW warehouse within one business day of payment being received. Delivery timeframes provided on our website are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Chronic Australia is not responsible for delays caused by the courier, Australia Post, customs authorities, or other third parties outside our direct control.
Risk of loss for products passes to the customer upon dispatch from our warehouse. Where products are lost or damaged in transit, we will work with the carrier to resolve the issue, however the customer accepts that resolution timeframes are subject to the carrier's processes.
It is the customer's responsibility to provide an accurate shipping address. Orders returned to us due to incorrect addresses, failed delivery, or refusal of delivery may incur a re-shipment fee. Refunds for undelivered orders returned to us will be made at the original product price less any shipping and handling costs incurred.
SECTION 10 - TOPICAL TRIAL PACK
The Topical Trial Pack (also referred to as the "Free Trial Pack") is a promotional offer provided by Chronic Australia to allow new customers to experience sample-sized versions of our topical products. By purchasing or ordering a Topical Trial Pack, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms:
10.1 Nature of the offer
The sample products contained within the Topical Trial Pack are provided free of charge. Customers are only required to pay a shipping and handling fee (currently $16.95 AUD, subject to change without notice). This fee covers the cost of shipping, packaging materials, order handling, and associated staff labour required to dispatch the Trial Pack. The fee is non-refundable once the order has been dispatched.
10.2 No ongoing obligation
Purchasing a Topical Trial Pack does not obligate you to make any further purchases from Chronic Australia. The Trial Pack does not enrol you into any product subscription, membership, or ongoing automatic payment arrangement. You will not be charged any recurring fees as a result of ordering a Trial Pack.
10.3 Eligibility - new customers only
The Topical Trial Pack is available exclusively to new customers of Chronic Australia. A "new customer" is defined as an individual who has not previously placed an order or received a Topical Trial Pack from Chronic Australia. Eligibility is determined at our sole discretion, including (but not limited to) verification against email addresses, shipping addresses, phone numbers, and payment details associated with prior orders.
10.4 One Trial Pack per customer, per lifetime
Each customer is eligible to receive one (1) Topical Trial Pack over the entire lifetime of their relationship with Chronic Australia. Any attempt to order additional Trial Packs - whether through the same account, a different account, or using different contact or shipping details - will be considered a breach of these Terms. We reserve the right to cancel any such orders, refund the shipping fee, and charge the full retail price for the products ordered, plus standard shipping fees, at our discretion.
10.5 Existing customers
If an existing customer (i.e. any customer who has previously placed any order with Chronic Australia, including a prior Trial Pack) attempts to order a Topical Trial Pack, the order will not be fulfilled at the promotional rate. Instead, the customer will be charged at the retail price corresponding to the volume of each sample product included, plus the standard shipping and handling fee. We may either contact the customer for additional payment before dispatch, or cancel and refund the order at our discretion.
10.6 Shipping fee is non-waivable
The shipping and handling fee associated with the Topical Trial Pack is not eligible for waiver under any circumstance, including any promotional free shipping or free express shipping offer that may apply to other items in your order. If a Topical Trial Pack is added to an order containing full-sized products:
- The customer must pay the full shipping and handling fee for the Trial Pack.
- This fee is in addition to any shipping fees applicable to the full-sized products.
- Any free shipping, discounted shipping, or free express shipping promotion applies only to the full-sized products and does not extend to the Trial Pack.
10.7 Domestic orders only
The Topical Trial Pack is only available to customers with an Australian shipping address. International orders, including to New Zealand, the United States, Canada, and all other countries, are not eligible for the Trial Pack offer under any circumstance.
10.8 Exclusion from the 60-day money-back guarantee
Any subsequent purchases made by a customer after receiving a Topical Trial Pack are not eligible for our 60-day money-back guarantee. The exceptions to this exclusion are:
- Products received faulty or not fit for purpose;
- Products physically damaged in transit; or
- Documented allergic reactions to the product (subject to proof, at our reasonable discretion).
This exclusion applies because the Trial Pack is designed to allow customers to sample and assess our products before committing to a full-sized purchase. By ordering a Trial Pack, the customer acknowledges they have had the opportunity to test the products prior to any subsequent purchase.
Due to the nature of our Trial Pack, the associated shipping and handling fee of the trial pack is also not refundable.
10.9 Patch testing and allergic reactions
All customers must perform a patch test before using any product from Chronic Australia, including products received in the Topical Trial Pack. To patch test, apply a small amount of the product to a discreet area of skin (such as the inner forearm) and monitor for any reaction for at least 24 hours before broader application.
Discontinue use immediately if any irritation, redness, itching, swelling, or other adverse reaction occurs. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist or worsen. Chronic Australia accepts no liability for any adverse reaction resulting from failure to patch test, failure to read ingredient lists, or use contrary to the directions on the product packaging.
10.10 Promotional terms subject to change
Chronic Australia reserves the right to modify, limit, suspend, or discontinue the Topical Trial Pack offer (including the shipping and handling fee, the contents of the Trial Pack, and the eligibility criteria) at any time without notice. The terms applicable to your Trial Pack order are those in effect at the time your order is placed.
10.11 Fraud and abuse
We reserve the right to cancel, refuse, or refund any Trial Pack order that we believe, in our sole discretion, has been placed fraudulently, in bad faith, or in breach of these Terms. This includes (but is not limited to) orders using false identities, duplicate accounts, existing customers under a different alias, VPN or proxy services to misrepresent location, or any attempt to resell, repackage, or redistribute the Trial Pack or its contents.
SECTION 11 - OPTIONAL TOOLS
We may provide you with access to third-party tools over which we neither monitor nor have any control nor input.
You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such tools "as is" and "as available" without any warranties, representations or conditions of any kind and without any endorsement. We shall have no liability whatsoever arising from or relating to your use of optional third-party tools.
Any use by you of the optional tools offered through the site is entirely at your own risk and discretion and you should ensure that you are familiar with and approve of the terms on which tools are provided by the relevant third-party provider(s).
We may also, in the future, offer new Services and/or features through the website (including the release of new tools and resources). Such new features and/or Services shall also be subject to these Terms of Service.
SECTION 12 - THIRD-PARTY LINKS
Certain content, products and Services available via our Service may include materials from third-parties.
Third-party links on this site may direct you to third-party websites that are not affiliated with us. We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy and we do not warrant and will not have any liability or responsibility for any third-party materials or websites, or for any other materials, products, or Services of third-parties.
We are not liable for any harm or damages related to the purchase or use of goods, Services, resources, content, or any other transactions made in connection with any third-party websites. Please review carefully the third-party's policies and practices and make sure you understand them before you engage in any transaction. Complaints, claims, concerns, or questions regarding third-party products should be directed to the third-party.
SECTION 13 - USER COMMENTS, FEEDBACK AND OTHER SUBMISSIONS
If, at our request, you send certain specific submissions (for example contest entries) or without a request from us, you send creative ideas, suggestions, proposals, plans, or other materials, whether online, by email, by postal mail, or otherwise (collectively, 'comments'), you agree that we may, at any time, without restriction, edit, copy, publish, distribute, translate and otherwise use in any medium any comments that you forward to us. We are and shall be under no obligation (1) to maintain any comments in confidence; (2) to pay compensation for any comments; or (3) to respond to any comments.
We may, but have no obligation to, monitor, edit or remove content that we determine in our sole discretion to be unlawful, offensive, threatening, libellous, defamatory, pornographic, obscene or otherwise objectionable or violates any party's intellectual property or these Terms of Service.
You agree that your comments will not violate any right of any third-party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, personality or other personal or proprietary right. You further agree that your comments will not contain libellous or otherwise unlawful, abusive or obscene material, or contain any computer virus or other malware that could in any way affect the operation of the Service or any related website. You may not use a false e-mail address, pretend to be someone other than yourself, or otherwise mislead us or third-parties as to the origin of any comments. You are solely responsible for any comments you make and their accuracy. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any comments posted by you or any third-party.
SECTION 14 - CUSTOMER REVIEWS AND TESTIMONIALS
By submitting a review, testimonial, photograph, video, or any other content to Chronic Australia - whether through our website, email, social media, or direct response to a campaign - you grant Chronic Australia a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable licence to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, and display such content across any medium, including marketing materials, website content, product packaging, and social media.

Chronic Australia does not frequently monitor these reviews or endorse any claims made. Statements have not been evaluated by the TGA or other regulatory authorities, and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition, disease, or illness.

SECTION 18 - DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Nothing in these Terms of Service is intended to exclude, restrict, or modify any right or remedy, or any guarantee, warranty, or other term or condition implied or imposed by any applicable law (including the Australian Consumer Law) which cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted, or modified.
