Order process

Please see the Delivery Policy for information on how to delivery. All orders that you place on this website will be subject to acceptance in accordance with these terms and conditions. The 'confirmation' stage sets out the final details of your order. Following this, we will send to you an order acknowledgment email detailing the products you have ordered. Please note that this email is not an order confirmation or order acceptance from CamerasDirect.com.au. Acceptance of your order and the completion of the contract between you and us will take place on dispatch to you of the products ordered unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled it (please refer to Returns and refunds). We do file details of your order for you to subsequently access directly on this website via the Your Account area. You may only use one discount at a time during the order process. For example, you are not able to use a $5 coupon and free shipping, you are able to have one or the other, alternatively, if we're running a % off discount, you won't be able to also use a coupon. Coupons cannot be used to buy or discount gift cards.

Special Orders

A Special Order is an order in which 4 or more of the same item has been ordered or as notified to you by the staff at the time of purchase. The significance of a Special Order is that it cannot be cancelled so long as we are able to obtain the goods within 10 business days of your full payment. Cancellations or refunds are at the discretion of management.

Sony Products

All Sony products not in stock at the time of purchase are deemed "Sony Special Orders". Sony products purchased by Cameras Direct on behalf of a customer may NOT be cancelled by the customer. Transit time to Cameras Direct must be factored in by the customer. Sony orders should be confirmed and discussed with Cameras Direct prior to ordering with the knowledge that Sony product CAN be difficult to source and are also a rare item in terms of sales. Your instruction by placing the order with us is therefore not cancellable once Cameras Direct has secured your item for you.

Delivery

This website is only for delivery of products to customers in Australia. We cannot deliver outside of Australia. All goods must be signed for by an adult aged 18 years or over on delivery. Delivery charges and estimated timescales are specified in the Delivery Policy section and also when you place an order. We make every effort to deliver goods within the estimated timescales, however delays are occasionally inevitable due to unforeseen factors. CamerasDirect.com.au shall be under no liability for any delay or failure to deliver the products within estimated timescales. Risk of loss and damage of products passes to you on the date when the products are delivered or on the date of first attempted delivery by us. For multiple orders being sent to the same person at the same address, we reserve the right to combine orders into a smaller number of shipments.

Payment

We take payment from your credit card at the time we receive your order. Goods are subject to availability. In the event that we are unable to supply the goods, we will inform you of this as soon as possible. A full refund will be given when requested where you have already paid for the goods if the product is not in stock. To ensure that your credit, debit or charge card is not being used without your consent, we will validate name, address and other personal information supplied by you during the order process against appropriate third party databases, or by confirming details with the card holder. By accepting these terms and conditions you consent to such checks being made. In performing these checks personal information provided by you may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency which may keep a record of that information. You can rest assured that this is done only to confirm your identity, that a credit check is not performed and that your credit rating will be unaffected. The price you pay is the price displayed on this website at the time we receive your order apart from the following two exceptions: a) While we try and ensure that all prices on our website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of goods you have ordered we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund. Payment can be made by any method specified in Payment Methods. Title to any products you order on this website shall pass to you on delivery of the products provided that we have processed and received payment in full for the products.

Our prices can change at any time.

Returns, Cancellations and Substitutions

In the unlikely event that you receive faulty or damaged goods, please refer to our refunds section. Sometimes the product specifications from the manufacturer may change, in which case we will do our best to offer you a similar alternative. We may experience problems with the supply of certain products and may therefore supply a substitute of the same or better quality at the same price. Where applicable, you may cancel your order in accordance with your consumer rights. All sizes and measurements are approximate but we do try to make sure that they are as accurate as possible. If you have used a gift card as part of your payment or wholly as payment, you will receive the gift card amount back as another gift card or store credit, should you return an item. Gift cards are not redeemable for cash under any circumstances.
