We manage the distribution of Flexyfoot Products in Australia and New Zealand. Please note that we are not an agent of Flexyfoot Limited, the manufacturer of Flexyfoot Products, which is registered in England and Wales. On-line purchases on this site involve contracts for sale between Flexyfoot Australia and customers located in Australia and New Zealand.

3. How the contract is formed between you and us.
3.1 After placing an order, and completing the on-line payment, you will receive an e-mail confirming the payment for your order. All orders are subject to acceptance by us. In the case that you order is not accepted, we will advise you by email and arrange the appropriate refund. The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we dispatch your order along with a tax invoice.
3.2 The Contract will relate only to those Products dispatched and invoiced to you. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate invoice.

7.3 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already accepted your order.
7.4 Despite our best efforts, it is possible that one or more Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product’s correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
7.5 We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after receiving payment, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing.
7.6 Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment via PayPal for all major credit cards.

You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
If you believe that you have received a defective Product, please return it to Flexyfoot Australia, 448 Centre Road, Berwick, VIC, 3806, within 30 days, for either a replacement at no extra cost or a full refund (after confirming the defect).
