Terms of sale & use

1. The seller and these terms

The proposed seller is John Allan Atkinson trading as Sawmill Gully Spirits, ABN 35 593 182 309, based in South Australia. The business name and ABN have been matched in the public register; John must confirm that this is the entity that will sell and hold the relevant authority. The licence number, service address and public contact details must be completed before trading.

These are draft terms for the proposed live store. The current website is a private demonstration: its products, packaging, specifications and prices are illustrative, and its bag and checkout create no order, payment or contract.

2. Adults and lawful purchases

Alcohol purchases must be made by an adult aged 18 or older. You must provide accurate purchaser and delivery details and must not buy alcohol for a minor. Required purchaser information and recipient checks will apply even when buying a gift or checking out as a guest.

The browsing checkbox is an age affirmation. It does not replace the purchase and delivery checks required by the seller’s licence and applicable law. We may decline an order where it cannot lawfully be fulfilled or required checks cannot be completed.

3. Products, availability and prices

The live product page will identify the actual product, bottle size, alcohol content, price and relevant specifications. Product images should fairly represent what is supplied; minor screen-colour differences do not remove rights where goods are materially different from their description.

Consumer prices will be shown in Australian dollars including applicable GST and unavoidable product charges. Available shipping options and their costs will be disclosed before payment. Optional extras will require a clear choice. A discount will be applied only when its stated conditions are met.

If a material description, availability or pricing error affects a proposed order, we will explain the problem before seeking agreement to a change. We will not substitute a different product or increase the agreed price without your consent. If the order cannot be fulfilled on the agreed basis, money paid for the unfulfilled portion will be returned.

4. Placing and accepting an order

Submitting an order is your offer to buy the selected goods on the displayed terms. An automated order acknowledgement confirms receipt; under the proposed process, acceptance occurs when we send dispatch confirmation. Any payment captured before acceptance will be refunded if the order is not accepted.

Orders may be declined for a genuine stock problem, a material error, suspected fraudulent payment or a legal/delivery restriction. We will communicate the reason where appropriate and arrange the relevant refund. Accepted orders remain subject to consumer rights and the agreed terms, rather than a general right for us to cancel at will.

5. Payments and customer accounts

The planned checkout and customer accounts are provided through Shopify. Payment methods available for the actual store will be displayed at checkout. Any additional payment charge must be clearly disclosed and comply with applicable rules.

Guest checkout is proposed alongside optional customer accounts. Shopify’s hosted sign-in uses its supported authentication methods; this website is not intended to run a separate password database. Protect access to your email/account and tell the business promptly about suspected unauthorised use. Signing in does not itself verify age for an alcohol purchase.

6. Delivery and receipt

We will supply only to destinations and addresses accepted by the approved checkout and delivery service. The shipping policy will state the available services, charges and estimated dispatch/transit times. National delivery is a goal, not a currently confirmed service.

An eligible adult must be available under the proposed signature-based delivery policy. If a lawful delivery cannot be completed, the business will explain the available redelivery, collection or refund options. Charges arising from a customer-requested change or incorrect address will be disclosed and limited to reasonable, applicable costs; errors by the business or carrier and consumer remedies are handled separately.

7. Cancellations, returns and your rights

Please request an order change or cancellation as early as possible. We will try to accommodate it before dispatch and explain any practical limitation. After dispatch, the refunds and returns policy applies. The law may provide additional cancellation or remedy rights.

Australian Consumer Law rights apply independently of these terms, product packaging, sale prices or a voluntary returns window. Faulty, unsafe, damaged, incorrect or materially misdescribed goods may give rise to a remedy. The separate refunds policy explains the proposed process. We will not require store credit instead of a refund where you are legally entitled to the refund.

8. Website content and permitted use

You may browse and use this website for lawful personal shopping and enquiries. Please do not interfere with its operation, misuse forms, attempt unauthorised access or copy protected branding/artwork for unauthorised commercial use. Photographs and other third-party materials remain subject to the rights and credits identified on the site.

We will take reasonable care with the service. These terms do not exclude consumer guarantees or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, and do not require you to indemnify the business for its own fault. External services have their own terms, which do not remove the seller’s responsibilities to you.

9. Changes, questions and disputes

The version made available when an order is placed will govern that order, subject to applicable law and any change you expressly agree to. Future changes will be published with a date; they will not retrospectively remove accrued rights.

Please first contact the business so it can try to resolve a concern. These terms are proposed to be governed by South Australian law and applicable Australian law. This does not prevent a consumer from using a court, tribunal, regulator or protection available in their own jurisdiction. No compulsory private arbitration or waiver of consumer rights is imposed.
