8. TERMS OF DELIVERY

Any delivery time OzCoolers gives to the Purchaser is only an estimate. We will use reasonable endeavors to ensure its delivery companies meet delivery estimates. However as delivery done by third party delivery company OzCoolers cannot be held liable for any delay in delivery.

Full delivery prices and options are listed on the OzCoolers website and are subject to change from time to time.

Certain large, heavy or bulky items and deliveries to offshore/remote deliveries (including Tasmania) will attract higher delivery prices and delivery times will be longer, depending on the delivery location. 

The risk in the Goods transfers to the Customer at the time of delivery but the title will not pass until payment has been made in full for the Goods in question. Customers are advised to notify OzCoolers immediately if Goods are delivered in damaged or soiled packaging.

Goods delivered are used, stored and installed at the Customer's own risk and OzCoolers will not be liable for any damage, loss or disruption caused by the same unless caused by OzCoolers' negligence. Where installation/disconnection services have been ordered by the Customer, further charges, terms, and conditions may apply as communicated by OzCooler to the Customer before delivery.

All deliveries will be to a kerb side or a loading dock, any other forms of delivery will incur additional charges. The delivery person/driver may at his/her discretion assist with delivering the Goods to a location within the premises nominated by the Customer, at the Customer's sole risk.

If the Customer will not or does not accept delivery when the Goods are ready for delivery or OzCooler or its agent cannot affect delivery because OzCooler or its agent consider at the time of delivery that delivery would be hazardous or would be contrary to their policies, industry practice or statutory requirements or because the Customer has not provided OzCoolers with appropriate instructions, documents, licences or authorizations to properly, legally and safely effect delivery of the Goods, risk in the Goods passes to the Customer, the Goods will be deemed delivered, and OzCoolers may store the Goods until actual delivery, in which case, the Customer will be liable to OzCooler for all related costs, such as re-delivery charges, storage, and insurance.
