Cancellation of orders

Shipping

  • We aim to deliver the Product to you at the place of delivery requested by you in your order and at the price outlined during the checkout process.
  • We aim to deliver within the time indicated by us at the time of your order but we cannot promise an exact date when you submit your order. Within Australia, we always aim to deliver within 4 working days from the date of any order which we accept but we cannot guarantee any firm delivery dates.
  • We will aim to let you know if we expect that we are unable to meet our estimated delivery date, but, to the extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable to you for any losses, liabilities, costs, damages, charges or expenses arising out of late delivery.
  • On delivery of the product(s), you may be required to sign for delivery, unless you grant us 'authority to leave' the product. You agree to inspect the product for any obvious faults, defects or damage before you sign for delivery. You need to keep receipt of the delivered product in case of future discussions with us about it.
  • You may grant us an 'authority to leave' when placing your order. If you do, you understand and agree that this authority to leave gives us and/or our selected couriers permission to leave the order in question unattended by the front door – or, where applicable, at the reception or concierge's desk – of the delivery address without obtaining a signature confirming delivery at the delivery location. In such circumstances, you understand and agree that by granting us authority to leave, we and our couriers are released of all responsibility and liability for the orders delivered and left unattended, and that this responsibility and liability transfer to you on delivery.
  • Please note that it might not be possible for us to deliver to some locations. If this is the case, we will inform you using the contact details that you provide to us when you make your order and arrange for cancellation of the order or delivery to an alternative delivery address.

 

  • You acknowledge that we have no control over the quality, safety, speed or legality of any aspect of the shipping or postage services provided save for that the services are coming from a professional external company.
  • Unless otherwise specified, all risk in the product will pass to you upon purchase. From the time when risk passes to you, we will not be liable for loss or destruction of the product.
  • You must take care when opening the product so as not to damage it, particularly when using any sharp instruments.

 

  • If delivery or collection is delayed through your unreasonable refusal to accept delivery or if you do not (within two weeks of our first attempt to deliver the product to you) accept delivery or collect the product from the carrier, then we may (without affecting any other right or remedy available to us) do either or both of the following: (a) charge you for our reasonable storage fee and other costs reasonably incurred by us; or (b) no longer make the product available for delivery or collection and notify you that we are immediately cancelling the applicable contract, in which case we will refund to you or your credit or debit card company as applicable any money already paid to us under the applicable contract, less our reasonable administration charges (including for attempting to deliver and then returning the product, and any storage fees as provided for above).

Returns

  • At JAK™, we stand behind our products. We strive to provide the highest quality, organic skin care products on the market. However, for hygienic reasons we do not accept returns or exchanges unless there is material fault in the product that makes it not fit for purpose.

 

  • If you are not 100% happy with your purchase, please contact us and we will do our best to try to work out a resolution of your issue.
