Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

If you are an Australian consumer for the purposes of the ACL, you are entitled to 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 the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

Nothing in these terms excludes any right, guarantee or warranty you’re entitled to by law, however we do exclude all other guarantees, conditions and warranties to the maximum extent permitted by law. We also specifically exclude liability for negligence.

Wherever possible, our liability for breach of any condition, warranty or guarantee is limited, at our option, to:

• Replacement of the product;

• Repair of the product;

• Payment of the cost of having the product repaired; or

• Such other fair and reasonable remedy as we are ready and willing to provide.

We won’t be liable for any consequential loss or damage or other direct or indirect loss or damage, except where we are unable to limit or exclude such loss under the ACL.

If for any reason the ACL doesn’t apply to an order you place with us (for example, if you purchase the product for re-sale with our authorisation or if you are purchasing from outside Australia), then we exclude all liability to you and we’ll only refund an order placed if we can’t fill it, if we think it’s reasonable to do so, or otherwise as agreed in writing.

• The receiving party is allowed 30 business days from the date of mailing to respond to the dispute.

• Unless you indicate otherwise in your notice, Becoming Eco shall respond to your notice using your last-used billing address or the billing and/or shipping address in your online profile. If parties are unable to resolve the dispute, it should be processed in accordance with the Jurisdiction section of the Terms.

We reserve the right, without prior notice, to limit the order quantity on any product and/or to refuse service to any customer. In the event we make a change to or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made.

If the agreement that is created between us under these Terms of Service is ended, it will not affect our right to receive any money which you owe us under these Terms.

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time without notice. We encourage you to review the Terms whenever you use or access the Site.
