The content on the Website is our copyright or the copyright of our  licensors.

We are an Australian company. The pages on the Website contain information about products and services available in Australia and generally in other countries.

The prizes, gifts, giveaways and services offered on the Website are offered to consumers in Australia and nowhere else.

We also operate social media platforms associated with the Website, which include Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and Twitter and blogs (together, "Social Media"). These Terms of Use apply to the Social Media (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such application is not limited to instances where explicit reference is made to the Social Media and, except where the context indicates otherwise, references to the Website include the Social Media). Other terms, such as those of the provider of a social media platform, may also apply and it is your sole responsibility to abide by any such other terms. These Terms of Use do not limit the operation of any such other terms. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms of Use and any such other terms, those other terms will prevail.

Rewards Room loyalty program

34. This section of these Terms of Use sets out the terms applicable to participating in our loyalty rewards program (“Program”).38. Participation in the Program is only open to Australian residents.

35. Our decision in relation to the conduct of the Program (including any disputes that may arise) is final and binding, and no correspondence will be entered into.

36. To register for the Program, eligible individuals must become a member by successfully completing the signup form on the Website and following the prompts to activate their membership account via the welcome email sent to the email address they submitted at the time of registration. In these Terms of Use, persons who become members are “Members” and hold a “Membership”.

37. Only one Membership is permitted per person. If we discover a person to have more than one Membership, we may, without notice and at our discretion, de-register all but one Membership or de-register all such Memberships. We may also prohibit that person from becoming a Member in the future.

38. To earn reward points (“Points”), Members must complete certain actions as described here.

39. We may amend the requirements for earning Points at any time and may add or remove actions required to earn Points or increase/decrease the maximum number of Points awarded for any mechanic for earning Points.

40. Members will be given loyalty ranking depending on the number of Points validly accumulated as described here.

41. A foundation member is a Member who has actively participated in the Website and has been a Member since 1 July 2007. A foundation member will be identified with a crown symbol next to their status icon to identify them as such.

42. Individuals who reach Silver ranking and above will be invited to enter the Rewards Room. The Rewards Room is an event that takes place on the Website at times and on dates communicated by us. Members may redeem Points for rewards at Rewards Room events. Rewards Room events will be open for a maximum of 14 days or until available stock has been depleted.

43. Redemption of Points does not mean that a Member will lose their loyalty ranking. For example, if a Member has Gold ranking and redeems the majority of their Points for products during a Rewards Room event, they will remain Gold ranking and will not drop down to Silver ranking.

44. A Member must not use Points to redeem more than one unit of a product in each Rewards Room event.

45. The maximum redemption amount permitted per Member will be communicated at the time of each Rewards Room event. 

46. Subject to law, no refund of Points is permitted for products ordered at a Rewards Room event.

47. A Member may not make any changes to a redemption order once the Member reaches check out and confirms the order.

48. If a product selected is not available at the time of fulfilment of an order, a Member will either have their Points for that product returned to them (to be used at a subsequent Rewards Room event) or a replacement product as determined by us (of equal or greater number of Points value) will be provided to them.

49. Members must not sell or make a profit from products obtained through the Rewards Room. Members swapping or selling such products may have their Membership terminated.

50. Members must pay for postage for any products purchased at a Rewards Room event. There is a flat delivery fee of $10. Members must either have a valid credit card or Paypal account in order to make payment of the delivery fee and complete the order. 

51. Products will be sent using Australia Post. Delivery of products from a Rewards Room event may take up to six weeks from the date the order is placed. The order will be delivered to the address given at checkout. It is each Member’s responsibility to provide the correct postal address details. We will not be responsible if a parcel is delivered to the wrong address due to a Member failing to provide the correct details or for any failure on the part of Australia Post to make delivery. We are not responsible for breakages that occur to products through no fault of our own.

52. Points are not transferable. Points may only be redeemed by the Member who earned the Points. Points do not have an expiry date. However both your Membership and any associated Points will expire completely and become void if you do not log in to the Website for 3 years. We may change the value of Points at any time.

53. Where a member breaches these Terms of Use, we may cancel their Membership or deduct some or all of their Points from their account. Without limitation we may, at our discretion, cancel a Membership or exclude a person from becoming a Member.

54. We may cancel the Program at any time. Members will be notified should this occur in advance of the last Rewards Room event. If Members have not redeemed their Points for rewards before the termination of the Program, the remaining Points will become void.
