Welcome to BEHR & CO.

These Terms of Service govern your use of the BEHR & CO website and your purchase of products from us. By accessing our website or placing an order, you agree to be bound by these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Shipping Policy and Return & Exchange Policy.

Please read these Terms carefully before using our website or placing an order.

 

1. About BEHR & CO.

This website is operated by BEHR & CO., based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Throughout these Terms, "BEHR & CO", "we", "us" and "our" refer to BEHR & CO.

Our website is hosted by Shopify, which provides the e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products online.

 

2. Using Our Website

You agree to use our website lawfully and responsibly.

You must not use our website:

  • For any unlawful or fraudulent purpose
  • To infringe the rights of BEHR & CO or any third party
  • To interfere with the operation or security of our website
  • To introduce viruses, malware or other harmful code
  • To attempt to gain unauthorised access to our website, systems or accounts
  • To copy, reproduce, scrape or commercially exploit our website or its content without our written permission

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to our website where we reasonably believe that these Terms have been breached or the website is being misused.

 

3. Products and Product Information

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, dimensions, images, colours and other information displayed on our website are accurate.

However, our products may be made from natural materials or may be handmade. As a result, variations in colour, texture, grain, veining, finish, tone and other characteristics may occur.

These variations are a natural characteristic of materials such as marble, stone, brass, linen and other natural or handcrafted materials and may mean that the product you receive differs slightly from the images displayed on our website.

We do not consider natural variations or handmade characteristics to be defects where they are consistent with the description of the product.

We reserve the right to update product information, discontinue products and correct genuine errors in product descriptions or pricing.

 

4. Pricing

All prices displayed on our website are in Australian dollars (AUD) unless otherwise stated.

Prices may change from time to time. Any price change will not affect an order that we have already accepted and confirmed, except where a genuine pricing or listing error has occurred.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that pricing displayed on our website is accurate. If a genuine error results in a product being offered at an obviously incorrect price, we may contact you before processing the order and provide the option to proceed at the correct price or cancel the order.

 

5. Orders

When you place an order through our website, you are making an offer to purchase the selected products.

An order confirmation email confirms that we have received your order. It does not necessarily mean that your order has been accepted.

We reserve the right to decline or cancel an order in circumstances including, but not limited to:

  • A product being unavailable
  • A genuine pricing or product information error
  • Suspected fraudulent or unauthorised activity
  • An error in the shipping or payment information
  • Circumstances where we are unable to fulfil the order

If we cancel an order after payment has been received, we will refund the amount paid for the cancelled order.

We may limit quantities purchased where reasonably necessary, including in circumstances involving suspected resale, commercial purchasing or unusually large orders.

 

6. Payment

Payment must be successfully received before an order can be processed.

We accept the payment methods displayed at checkout.

You agree that all information provided in connection with your purchase is accurate and complete and that you are authorised to use the payment method provided.

Payment information is processed through our payment providers. BEHR & CO does not ordinarily have access to your full payment card details.

 

7. Shipping and Delivery

Shipping options, costs and estimated delivery timeframes are provided at checkout.

We offer Standard and Express shipping options where available, as well as international shipping to selected destinations.

Further information regarding delivery, shipping timeframes, international orders and damaged parcels is available in our Shipping Policy.

Once an order has been dispatched, delivery is handled by the relevant shipping carrier. Delivery timeframes are estimates and may be affected by circumstances outside our control.

Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law in relation to delivery or products purchased from us.

 

8. Returns, Exchanges and Change of Mind

Our Return & Exchange Policy sets out our requirements for returns and exchanges, including change-of-mind returns.

Nothing in our Return & Exchange Policy or these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any rights or remedies you may have under the Australian Consumer Law.

 

9. Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude, restrict or modify any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) or any other applicable law.

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

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 goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

These rights apply in addition to any other rights or warranties that we may provide.

 

10. Natural Materials and Handmade Products

Many BEHR & CO products are made using natural materials and/or handcrafted processes.

Materials such as marble, travertine, brass, stone and linen can naturally vary from one piece to another.

Variations may include:

  • Colour
  • Veining
  • Texture
  • Grain
  • Tone
  • Surface characteristics
  • Minor variations in dimensions
  • Other characteristics associated with natural or handmade materials

Where these characteristics are described or represented as part of the product, they are considered part of the nature of the product rather than a defect.

However, this section does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law where a product does not meet a consumer guarantee.
