Colours, finishes, packaging, and other visual aspects of products may vary slightly from how they appear on screen due to screen settings, photography, batch variation, or the handmade nature of some products.

All products must be used in accordance with any care, warning, safety, or usage instructions provided on the product, packaging, or website.

4. Orders

When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase products from us.

All orders are subject to acceptance and availability. We may accept, decline, cancel, or limit any order in our discretion acting reasonably, including where:

  • A product is unavailable.
  • There is an error in pricing, product information, or shipping charges.
  • We reasonably suspect fraudulent activity, unauthorised payment, or misuse.

6. Shipping and delivery

We aim to dispatch orders within the timeframes stated on our website or otherwise advised to you, but dispatch and delivery times are estimates only.

8. Returns, refunds, and consumer rights

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any rights or remedies you may have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. Under the Australian Consumer Law, consumers have guarantees in relation to goods and services, and businesses cannot rely on terms that override those rights.

If a product you purchase from us fails to meet a consumer guarantee, you may be entitled to a repair, replacement, refund, or other remedy depending on the nature of the issue. Remedies depend on whether the problem is major or minor and on other circumstances under the law.

We do not provide refunds, returns, or exchanges for change of mind unless we choose to do so in a particular case or are required to do so by law.

To request assistance with a faulty, damaged, incorrect, or missing item, please contact us at info@earthandflame.com.au as soon as possible with your order details and relevant photographs where appropriate.

We may ask for reasonable information to assess the issue before providing a remedy.
