DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

We cannot guarantee, represent, or warrant that your use of our service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. Nor do we warrant that the results obtained from the use of the service will be accurate or reliable. You acknowledge that from time to time, we may remove the service for indefinite periods or cancel it without prior notice to you. By using the service, you expressly agree that any risks associated with its use or your inability to use it are solely your responsibility. The service, along with all products and services delivered through it, are provided "as is" and "as available" unless expressly stated otherwise by us. We do not provide any representation, warranties, or conditions of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, and non-infringement. In no event shall Oloa Samoa, our Founders, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, interns, suppliers, service providers, or licensors be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages of any kind, including but not limited to lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, loss of data, replacement costs, or any similar damages arising from your use of the service or any products procured through it, or any other claim related to your use of the service or any product, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. This limitation of liability applies to any legal theory of liability, including contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise. Some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you to the fullest extent permitted by law.

INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Oloa Samoa, our parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, interns, and employees harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of these Terms of Service or the documents they incorporate by reference, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, such provision shall still be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed severed from these Terms of Service. This determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. 

TERMINATION

The rights and obligations of both parties prior to the termination date will continue to apply even after the termination of this agreement. These Terms of Service remain in effect unless terminated by either you or us. You have the option to terminate these Terms of Service at any time by informing us of your decision to discontinue using our Services or by ceasing to use our site. In our sole discretion, if we determine that you have failed to comply with any terms or provisions of these Terms of Service or if we suspect such failure, we may terminate this agreement at any time without prior notice. In such cases, you will remain responsible for any outstanding amounts due up to and including the termination date. Additionally, we may deny you access to our Services, or any part thereof, accordingly.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT

The failure of our failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms of Service does not waive that right or provision. These Terms of Service, along with any policies or operating rules posted by us on this site or relating to the Service, constitute the complete agreement and understanding between you and us, governing your use of the Service. They supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us (including any earlier versions of the Terms of Service). Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms of Service shall not be construed against the party responsible for drafting them.

GOVERNING LAW

These Terms of Service and any separate agreements through which we provide you with Services will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Australia.

CHANGES TO TERMS OF SERVICE

You can access the most recent version of the Terms of Service at any time on this page. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to update, modify, or replace any part of these Terms of Service by posting updates and changes on our website. It is your responsibility to periodically review our website for any changes. Your continued access to or use of our website or the Service after the posting of any changes to these Terms of Service signifies your acceptance of those changes.

SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

How much is postage? 

Flat rate of $9.99 for Standard Shipping

Flat rate of $13.99 for Express Shipping (this does not speed up production time. Just the time it takes to receive the parcel via Australia Post). Please allow 2-4 business days to dispatch the order. 

International postage is subjected to Auspost pricing and freight costs, please refer to their website for a more accurate estimate.

We do not offer overnight shipping. Standard free shipping is available for orders over $100, or we may occasionally offer free shipping as part of a special promotion. We cannot ship to countries outside Australia or the Northern Territory when ordering through our Australian website.

Who is your delivery provider?

All orders are delivered by Australia Post. You will receive an email AusPost with an AusPost tracking number once your order has been shipped. 

Where do you ship from? 

We ship from Sydney, Australia.

How long does it take to process my order? 

Please allow 2-4 business days to process and dispatch orders. We are a small team and work as fast as we can. Processing time is an additional time from shipping delivery times. Express shipping does not speed up the processing time. 

What are your delivery times? 

We recommend allowing up to 7 to 10 days for delivery from the date we ship your order. If you do not receive your order within this timeframe, please contact us via the contact us page. Your personal information (name, shipping address and phone number) will be used, as provided by you, to deliver your package. 

Oloa Samoa does not accept any responsibility for delivery times, and we cannot refund items that arrive later than required. However, you may return them at your cost (exclusions may apply).

Please check auspost.com for standard and express shipping times

All parcels will be delivered to the provided address and will require a signature on the receipt. Where no one is home to sign for the parcel, a card will be left detailing the nearest Australia Post outlet where the parcel can be collected during regular business hours. You will be notified via email if there are any delays in obtaining any items on your order. Order processing and delivery times may vary during peak times such as Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and some catalogue promotions. Contact us for more information.

A customer has 30 days to claim goods not received at the provided address.

REFUND AND EXCHANGES

If you have mistakenly purchased the wrong Oloa Samoa product on the oloasamoa.com.au or oloasamoa.com website, we will gladly give you a full refund within 7 days of purchase upon receipt of returned product. Please contact our customer service team via the contact us page for details on how to return the product.

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer refunds for any opened products. The customer is responsible for any shipping charges on returned goods unless the item(s) being returned are a result of an error on behalf of Oloa Samoa (oloasamoa.com.au) or (oloasamoa.com). Oloa Samoa takes care of packaging all orders securely. However, occasionally, product boxes may be damaged whilst in transit; therefore, we do not offer refunds on products if its box is damaged. Please contact Customer Service by email or phone via the Contact Us page to obtain details on how to make a claim for a refund or exchange.

All claims are individually assessed, and all approved returns are credited back to the original credit card used to make the purchase.

Oloa Samoa reserves the right to:

Assess the condition and age of returned goods prior to providing a repair, exchange or refund. This may result in a repair, exchange or refund being refused.

Please note:

  • Your original emailed Oloa Samoa purchase receipt is the best form of proof of purchase
    ● Refunds will be issued using your original payment method
