If you live in an area to which an Additional Delivery Charge will apply E’Co will contact you before accepting your Order and provide you with a quote for the Additional Delivery Charge. If, within the timescale specified, you do not agree to accept the Additional Delivery Charge, E’Co will cancel your Order.

5.1. You can place an Order by following the instructions on the relevant E’Co website. 5.2. An Order submitted by you is an offer by you to purchase the Goods for the price plus the Delivery Charge as shown at the time of submission of your Order and any applicable Additional Delivery Charge or International Delivery Charge. E’Co may accept or reject your offer in its absolute discretion. In particular, but without limitation, E’Co may reject Orders for commercial quantities of Goods. If you wish to order commercial quantities of Goods please contact admin@worldofeco.com. 5.3. Each Order that you place will, if accepted by E’Co, be a separate and binding agreement between you and E’Co with respect to the supply of the relevant Goods, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. 5.4.

Please ensure that you enter all information carefully when placing an Order. You warrant to E’Co that all information provided by you in relation to each Order is complete, true and accurate. 5.6. Please check your Order and Selected Delivery Option carefully (including the quantities ordered) before submitting it as Orders may not be able to be changed or cancelled once the Order has been accepted by E’Co. E’Co will use reasonable endeavours to cancel or change the Order if it has not already been shipped but makes no representation that it will be able to do this. 5.7. Except to the extent otherwise required by law (including, without limitation, the Australian Consumer Law), E’Co will not be liable to you, or any other person, for any loss, damage, cost or expense suffered as a direct or indirect result of your Order information being incomplete or inaccurate or as a result of being unable to change or cancel your Order once it has been accepted by E’Co, whether in contract, negligence or any other tort, equity, restitution, strict liability, under statute or otherwise at all. 5.8. Where you place separate Orders the Goods will be delivered separately and a separate Delivery Charge (and Additional Delivery Charge/ International Delivery Charge if applicable) will apply to each Order. E’Co cannot consolidate separate Orders into one delivery. 5.9. Where you order more than one item in one Order, all Goods for which your Order is accepted at the same time will be dispatched together where practicable. However, in some cases Goods may be dispatched separately, for example: where the goods are being dispatched from different locations; where the Goods are of different types; or where the Goods have different availability statuses. Please note that a Delivery Charge is calculated based on several factors including the Good’s weight, dimensions, packaging, the number of delivery shipments required and the Selected Delivery Option. 5.10. The internet can be an unstable, and sometimes insecure, marketplace. At times the facility to place Orders may not be available, your Order might not be received, your Order may be lost or misdirected, or your Order might be delayed. 5.11. You must take your own precautions to ensure that the process which you employ for accessing the Website does not expose you to risk of viruses, malicious computer code or other forms of interference which may damage your computer system, and contains appropriate protection to prevent damage to your computer system caused by viruses, malicious computer code or other forms of interference. 5.12. Except to the extent otherwise required by law (including, without limitation, the Australian Consumer Law), E’Co will not be liable to you, or any other person, for any loss, damage, cost or expense arising out of or in connection with of any of the events set out in Section 5 or arising out of or in connection with you accessing the Website, whether in contract, negligence or any other tort, equity, restitution, strict liability, under statute or otherwise at all.

6.1. When you submit an Order you will receive an Order reference number via e-mail. 6.2. E’Co will process payment for your Order when, or shortly after, you place your Order (except to the extent set out in clause 3.4). Your Order is deemed to be accepted by E’Co when E’Co does this, however E’Co may, in certain circumstances, cancel your Order after acceptance as set out in these Terms & Conditions. In the event that E’Co cancels your Order having already processed payment, it will refund payment in accordance with Section 13.1. This Section 6.2 does not apply for Pre-Orders which you are paying for by credit card. 6.3.

Your Order is deemed to be accepted by E’Co when E’Co does this. 6.5. In the event that the price of a Pre-Order is permanently reduced between the time that payment is taken pursuant to Section 6.2 above and the time of the dispatch of the Pre-Order, the amount of the price reduction will be refunded to you. For PayPal account payment the time that it takes for the refund to take effect is likely to be between 1 and 10 days and will depend upon how quickly PayPal processes the cancellation. For E’Co Gift Card payment the time that it takes for the refund to take effect is likely to be between 5 – 10 days. 6.6.

By providing your credit card/payment card/gift card you authorise E’Co to deduct the price and the applicable delivery charge(s) from such card. 6.8. E’Co reserves the right to change the payment methods that can be used for Orders at any time in its absolute discretion. 6.9. E’Co may not be able to, or may decline to, accept payment from you by your nominated payment method at any time for any reason including, without limitation: (a) Where our fraud detection systems detect possible irregularities; (b) Because your financial institution has declined payment; or (c) Because your payment card has expired. Where this is the case, E’Co reserves the right to cancel your Order and/or place your Order on hold and request you to provide additional information (for example, proof of identity documents) or arrange payment by another method. 6.10. Goods that you have ordered will not be dispatched to you until your payment for the Goods has cleared. If your payment cannot be processed, your Order will be rejected and we will notify you by email.
