These terms and conditions apply only if you are buying products on our site as a consumer (ie for purposes outside of your business, craft or profession).

The buyer is responsible for any import taxes imposed by their home country. Please take these fees into account when buying. Customers located within Australia will not incur any import fees.

If your order is accepted, we will inform you by email and we will confirm the identity of the party, which you have an agreement with. This will usually be Euphoric Lit or may in some cases be a third party. Where an agreement is made with a third party Euphoric Lit is not acting as either agent or principal and the agreement is made between yourself and that third party and will be subject to the terms of sale, which they supply you. When placing an order, you undertake that all details you provide to us are true and accurate, that you are an authorised user of the credit or debit card used to place your order and that there are sufficient funds to cover the cost of the goods.

Our Agreement

When you place an order at the end of the online checkout process (eg. “place order” button), you will receive an acknowledgement email confirming receipt of your order. This email will only be an acknowledgement and will not constitute acceptance of your order. A legally binding agreement between us will not be formed until we send you confirmation by e-mail that the box (or item) you ordered has been dispatched to you (shipping confirmation).

We may contact you to say that we do not accept your order. This is typically for the following reasons:

  • the products are unavailable;
  • we cannot authorise your payment;
  • you are not allowed to buy the products from us;
  • we are not allowed to sell the products to you;
  • you have ordered too many products; or
  • there has been a mistake on the pricing or description of the product

Reselling

While Euphoric Lit does not believe we have the right to dictate what you do with your property, if it comes to our attention that someone is found to be purchasing a box, or multiple boxes, solely for the purpose to resell, we reserve the right to cancel any pending orders. The person will then be placed on a blacklist and will be banned from purchasing from us again. We do not want genuine readers and/or collectors of our books to be missing out just so someone else can profit financially.

Availability & Delivery

Your order will be fulfilled by the estimated delivery date set out in the Shipping Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days of the date of the Shipping Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

Delivery will be completed when our authorised courier company delivers the Products to the shipping address you supplied to us during your order process. If no one is available at your address to take delivery, our authorised courier company will follow the delivery instructions provided to us by you. If no safe instructions are specified, the order will be left in an area that the authorised courier company considers safe, or left at a local post office to be picked up by you.

Changes can be made to your address on processing orders seven (7) days prior to shipping. Any changes that increase shipping costs will need to be paid prior within twenty four (24) hours of a request being sent by Euphoric Lit.

The leave safe location specified by you shall be within the area of the delivery address and shall be accessible to the courier. We will endeavour to follow any delivery instructions you provide but this cannot be guaranteed.

Euphoric Lit’s obligation to deliver the box (parcel) shall be fulfilled once the courier delivers the box (parcel) at the safe spot specified by you or the box (parcel) is considered safe by the courier.

If the personal handover of the box (parcel) is not possible and no leave safe is available, we may also deliver the box (parcel) to a nearby household or business. A household or business shall be regarded ‘nearby’ if the recipient resides in the same building as the original addressee. In addition, the box (parcel) may also be delivered to a recipient residing in proximate walking distance to the delivery address (e.g. same housing complex, building on the opposite side of the street, next-door building). All nearby households and businesses are subsequently referred to as “neighbours”.

The customer will be notified of such delivery to a neighbour by delivery notice, via email or in the tracking status of the parcel.

If neither a personal handover nor a delivery to a neighbour is possible, you will be in default of acceptance.

Euphoric Lit will not attempt a further delivery. You are obliged to bear all expenses related to aforesaid default of acceptance.

Processing orders CANNOT be redirected or changed to another person’s name.

Delivery Risk

Once the delivery is completed, according to the preceding paragraph (i.e. signed for by customer, left in a safe spot as specified by the customer or considered safe by authorised courier company, or delivered to a neighbour if no leave safe is provided or available) the risk of any damage or loss of the box will be with the customer. Euphoric Lit shall not be held liable for any damage, defect or loss which may occur thereafter.

You are fully responsible for any damages or losses due to any ambiguity regarding the safe spot specified by you. Euphoric Lit is not obliged to review the safe spot as to its general suitability.

Refusal of the box (parcel) does not negate the charge, Euphoric Lit will not be liable for any losses sustained by the customer relating to a refusal of delivery by our authorised courier company.

If you do not receive your order within 8 weeks of receiving the tracking number, please contact us. If we are contacted later than 8 weeks after the tracking number has been sent and the order has not been received, we will not be able to provide a replacement or refund.

Price and Payment 

The price of the Products and our delivery charges will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. 

Product prices do not include tax until a shipping country is selected from the list of available countries during the checkout process. 

Product prices and delivery charges are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Shipping Confirmation. 

Payment for all Products and Services must be by credit or debit card or PayPal if available. Please see our website and store for all payment options.
