only after payment has been approved and we have debited your credit or debit card.
c. Pricing and Availability: While we endeavour to ensure all details, descriptions, and
prices appearing on our Website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error
in the price or description of any goods you have ordered, we will inform you and provide

failures, or other force majeure events).
5. PRICING

otherwise specified.

price update after you have placed your order, we will notify you prior to processing the

methods as indicated at checkout. Once your payment method has been validated, we
will debit the funds from your nominated form of payment immediately for the full order
amount.

specific purchases or sitewide. The conditions of use for these discount codes will be
specified at the time of issue.

a. Dispatch Times: Dispatch times may vary according to product availability. Any delivery
timelines are estimates and may be subject to postal delays or force majeure events.

designated address. We are not responsible for lost or stolen packages once the order
has been shipped and tracking information has been provided.
9. RETURNS, REFUNDS, AND DAMAGE CLAIMS
a. No Returns/Refunds: Due to the nature of sealed card products and other factors, we
do not offer returns or refunds except for incorrect orders or items severely damaged
(subject to our judgment or decision). While final decisions rest with us, we strive to
address these matters fairly and ensure customer satisfaction where justified.
b. Damaged or Incorrect Items: If you receive a damaged item or one that is not as
described, contact us at support@trademonsters.com.au within 48 hours of delivery
with clear photos of the issue. We will review the case and determine an appropriate
resolution (e.g., replacement, store credit, or partial refund).
c. Lost or Stolen Packages: Any claims for lost or stolen packages must be directed to the
relevant shipping carrier.
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes your rights under the Australian Consumer Law
(ACL). You are entitled to remedies for goods that are faulty, not as described, or unfit for
purpose. Our no-returns/refunds policy does not apply to claims arising from breaches of
consumer guarantees under the ACL.
10. PRE-ORDER AND SPECIAL ORDER POLICY
a. Nature of Pre-Orders: A pre-order is an order placed for an item that has not yet been
released, is currently out of stock, or is sourced specifically upon your request. Placing a
pre-order secures your allocation from our incoming inventory.
b. Combined Orders: If your order contains both in-stock and pre-order items, we will hold
the order until the pre-order items are available before dispatching. If you prefer to
receive the in-stock items sooner, please place separate orders.
c. Estimated Delivery and Delays: Estimated release dates for pre-order items are based
on information provided by manufacturers or distributors. Delays may occur due to
supply chain constraints, customs processing, or quality control rejections. Delivery
delays of less than 28 business days beyond the estimated delivery date do not entitle
the customer to cancellation or refund.
d. Sourcing Unlisted Items: If there is a specific product you wish to purchase that is not
listed on our Website, please contact us via email at support@trademonsters.com.au.
We will do our best to source the item for you upon request.
11. COMPLAINTS
a. Complaint Procedure: We operate an established complaint-handling procedure to try
to resolve disputes when they arise. Please contact our Customer Care at
support@trademonsters.com.au if you have any concerns or comments.
b. Escalation: If we cannot resolve your complaint through our internal process, you may
have the option to pursue alternative dispute resolution or other legal remedies as
permitted by law.

permitted by law.
