2.4 World Collection reserves the right to terminate trade access at any time.
PLACING AN ORDER AND PAYMENT
2.5 By completing a Purchase Order, You are making an offer to purchase the Product at the price set out in the Website, subject to any subsequent notification of price by World Collection to You in accordance with clause 1.5.
2.6 Payment must be made strictly within 30 days from date of invoice. Payment can be made by credit card, direct deposit, and cheque only. World Collection accepts Visa and Mastercard. You warrant that You are an authorised user of the credit card used to complete payment in accordance with this clause 1.2. No credit card fee will be charged if paid in full prior to despatch.
2.7 All Purchase Orders placed through this Website are subject to confirmation and acceptance by World Collection. We will email you with confirmation of the receipt of Your Purchase Order, and then Acceptance by World Collection will be upon Your receipt of the email confirming despatch of the Product in accordance with clause 3.4 and 3.5. World Collection may reject Your Purchase Order, and refund any payment made by You, at any time prior to Your receipt of this acceptance by World Collection.
2.8 The Purchase Order must be paid in full strictly within 30 days upon entry into the Agreement. All transactions are settled in Australian Dollars (AUD). If you are ordering from outside Australia, and your bank account or credit card is held in a different currency, you can still order by credit card - your currency will automatically be converted to Australian Dollars when you complete the transaction. The conversion rate varies from day to day with the current exchange rate. Many banks also charge a small currency conversion fee, contact your bank or credit provider for details. In some areas of the site, prices will be shown with an estimate of the price in your home currency. These converted prices are for information purposes only, to help you get an idea of the approximate cost of a product, and they may not be the exact amounts that will appear on your credit card statement. The final charge to your card is made in Australian Dollars and the ultimate conversion rate is determined by your bank or credit provider. Therefore we are not able to take responsibility if the final amount charged to your card differs slightly from the estimated conversions we provide.
2.9 World Collection may vary prices in the event of price changes or mistakes on reasonable prior notice to You. If World Collection requests payment for increased prices, You may cancel the order by giving notice to World Collection, which must be received within seven days of the announcement of the increase.
