<p>
You are granted a limited, nonexclusive, non-sublicensable

</p>
<h4>3. Hyperlinks</h4>
<p>
You are granted a limited, non-exclusive right to create a text
hyperlink to the Sites for non-commercial purposes, provided
such link does not portray STEMMechanics or any of our products
and services in a false, misleading, derogatory or otherwise
defamatory manner and provided further that the linking site
does not contain any adult or illegal material or any material
that is offensive, harassing or otherwise objectionable. This
limited right may be revoked at any time. You may not use a
STEMMechanics logo or other proprietary graphic of STEMMechanics
to link to the Sites without the express written permission of
STEMMechanics. Further, you may not use, frame or utilize
framing techniques to enclose any STEMMechanics logo or other
proprietary information, including the images found at the
Sites, the content of any text or the layout/design of any page
or form contained on a page on the Sites without STEMMechanics'
express written consent.
</p>
<p>
STEMMechanics makes no claim or representation regarding the
quality, content, nature or reliability of third-party websites
accessible by hyperlink from the Sites, or websites linking to
the Sites. Such sites are not under the control of STEMMechanics
and STEMMechanics provides these links to you only as a
convenience. The inclusion of any link does not imply
affiliation, endorsement or adoption by STEMMechanics of any
site or any information contained therein. When you leave our
Sites, you should be aware that our terms and policies no longer
govern. You should review the applicable terms and policies,
including privacy and data gathering practices, of any site to
which you navigate from the Sites.
</p>
<h4>4. User content</h4>
<p>
The Sites may include discussion blogs, profiles, product
reviews or other interactive features or areas (collectively,
"Interactive Areas"), in which you or other users create, post,
transmit or store any content, such as text, photos, video,
graphics or code on the Sites ("User Content"). User Content is
publicly-viewable and includes your profile information and any
content you post pursuant to your profile, but it does not
include your stemmechanics.com.au account information (also
known as "Your STEMMechanics Account" or "Your Account") or
information you submit in order to make a purchase. You agree
that you are solely responsible for your User Content and for
your use of such Interactive Areas, and that you use the
Interactive Areas at your own risk.
</p>
<p>
By using any Interactive Areas, you agree not to post, upload
to, transmit, distribute, store, create or otherwise publish or
send through the Sites any of the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
User Content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene,
pornographic, indecent, lewd, suggestive, harassing,
threatening, abusive, inflammatory, fraudulent or otherwise
objectionable;
</li>
<li>
User Content that would constitute, encourage or provide
instructions for a criminal offense, violate the rights of
any party or that would otherwise create liability or
violate any local, state, national or international law;
</li>
<li>
User Content that displays, describes or encourages usage of
any product we sell in a manner that could be offensive,
inappropriate or harmful to STEMMechanics or any user or
consumer or that is contrary to any instructions or warnings
relating to the product (safety concerns can be reported
here);
</li>
<li>
User Content that may impinge upon or violate the publicity,
privacy or data protection rights of others, including
pictures, videos, images or information about another
individual where you have not obtained such individual's
consent;
</li>
<li>
User Content that makes false or misleading statements,
claims or depictions about a person, company, product or
service;
</li>
<li>
User Content that does not clearly and prominently disclose
any material connections you may have to STEMMechanics or
third-party brands or sellers (for example, if you receive
free products or services or are a paid blogger or
employee);
</li>
<li>
User Content that may infringe any patent, trademark, trade
secret, copyright or other intellectual or proprietary right
of any party;
</li>
<li>
User Content that impersonates any person or entity or
otherwise misrepresents your affiliation with a person or
entity;
</li>
<li>
Viruses, malware of any kind, corrupted data or other
harmful, disruptive or destructive files or code; and
</li>
<li>
User Content that, in the sole judgment of STEMMechanics,
restricts or inhibits any other person from using or
enjoying the Sites or which may expose STEMMechanics or our
users to any harm or liability of any type.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Enforcement of the Terms, however, is solely in our discretion
and the absence of enforcement of these Terms in some instances
does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce the Terms
in other instances. In addition, these Terms do not create any
private right of action on the part of any third party or any
reasonable expectation or promise that the Sites will not
contain any content that is prohibited by such Terms. Although
STEMMechanics has no obligation to screen, edit or monitor any
of the User Content posted on the Sites, STEMMechanics reserves
the right, and has absolute discretion, to remove, screen or
edit any User Content posted or stored on the Sites at any time
and for any reason without notice, and you are solely
responsible for creating backup copies and replacing any User
Content you post or store on the Sites at your sole cost and
expense.
</p>
<p>
Any use of the Sites in violation of these Terms may result in,
among other things, termination or suspension of your rights to
use the Sites.
</p>
<h4>5. Rights in user content</h4>
<p>
Except as otherwise provided herein, on the Sites or in a
separate agreement with us (such as the rules of a STEMMechanics
photo sharing contest), STEMMechanics claims no ownership or
control over any User Content. However, by submitting or posting
User Content on the Sites, you grant STEMMechanics and our
subsidiaries and affiliates a nonexclusive, royalty-free,
world-wide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, and fully
sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish,
translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform and
display such User Content on the Sites and on third-party sites
and in all other media or formats, whether currently known or
hereafter developed, for any purpose and without any
compensation to you. You also grant users of the Sites the right
to access your User Content in connection with their use of the
Sites. If you choose to remove your User Content, the license
granted above will automatically expire; however, you
acknowledge that there may be exceptions (for example, you
cannot delete a vote you submitted that has already been counted
or your purchase history). In addition, we may retain archived
copies of your User Content and cached copies of your User
Content may still be available for some period of time.
</p>
<p>
By posting User Content to the Sites, you represent and warrant
that (a) such User Content is non-confidential; (b) you own and
control all of the rights, title and interest in and to the User
Content or you otherwise have all necessary rights to post and
use such User Content to the Sites and to grant the rights to
STEMMechanics that you grant in these Terms; (c) the User
Content is accurate and not misleading or harmful in any manner;
and (d) the User Content, and your use and posting thereof in
connection with the Sites, do not and will not violate these
Terms, our Site Rules, any other applicable STEMMechanics terms,
guidelines or policies or any applicable law, rule or
regulation.
</p>
<h4>6. Feedback</h4>
<p>
Separate and apart from User Content, you have the ability to
submit questions, comments suggestions, reviews, ideas, plans,
designs, notes, proposals, drawings, original or creative
materials and other information regarding the Sites,
STEMMechanics and our products or services (collectively
"Feedback"). You agree that Feedback is non-confidential and
shall become the sole property of STEMMechanics. STEMMechanics
shall own exclusive rights, including all intellectual property
rights, in and to such Feedback and shall be entitled to the
unrestricted use and dissemination of the Feedback for any
purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment or
compensation to you. Do not send us Feedback if you expect to be
paid or want to continue to own or claim rights in them; your
idea might be great, but we may have already had the same or a
similar idea and we do not want disputes.
</p>
<h4>7. User conduct</h4>
<p>
You agree that you will not violate any law, contract or
intellectual property or other third party right or commit a
tort and that you are solely responsible for your conduct while
accessing or using the Sites. You also agree to abide by our
Site Rules and that you will not:

</p>
<h4>8. No third-party beneficiaries</h4>
<p>

<p>
Except as expressly provided, the Sites, Site Content, User
Content and services provided on or in connection with the Sites
(collectively, "Complete Site") are provided on an "AS IS" and
"WITH ALL FAULTS" basis without representations, warranties or
conditions of any kind, either express or implied. STEMMECHANICS
DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS AND
DUTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES, DUTIES OR CONDITIONS: (A) OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE,
RESULTS, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT; AND (B) CREATED BY TRADE
USAGE, COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. STEMMechanics
does not represent or warrant that the Complete Site is
accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free.
STEMMechanics does not represent or warrant that the Sites or
our servers are free of viruses or other harmful components.
</p>
<p>
The Site Content, including, but not limited to, STEMMechanics
videos and "Expert Advice" articles, is general in nature and
must be used with an appreciation for the differing capabilities
among individual users and the differing demands placed on
equipment and techniques by the wide variety of circumstances
that can be encountered in outdoor recreation. The information
is not a substitute for in-person guidance by a qualified
instructor.
</p>
<h4>11. Liability</h4>
<p>
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event
shall the STEMMechanics parties be liable for any special,
indirect, incidental or consequential damages, including, but
not limited to, loss of use, loss of profits or loss of data,
whether in an action in contract, tort (including, but not
limited to, negligence) or otherwise, arising out of or in any
way connected to the access or use of the complete site, your
online or offline interactions with other site users, or
otherwise related to these terms, including but not limited to
any damages that result from events beyond our reasonable
control, such as interruptions to all or portions of the
complete site, deletion of files or email, errors or omissions,
defects, viruses, delays in operation or transmission or failure
of performance, whether or not resulting from acts of god,
communications failure, theft, destruction or unauthorized
access to an STEMMechanics party's records, programs or
services.
</p>
<h4>12. Modifications to site</h4>
<p>
STEMMechanics reserves the right to modify or discontinue,
temporarily or permanently, the Sites or any features or
portions thereof without prior notice.
</p>
<h4>13. Termination</h4>
<p>
You may terminate the Terms at any time by closing your account,
discontinuing your use of the Sites and providing STEMMechanics
with a notice of termination. STEMMechanics reserves the right,
without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your
right to use the Sites, or any portion of the Sites, and to
block or prevent your future access to and use of the Sites or
any portion of the Sites.
</p>
<h4>14. Severability</h4>
<p>
If any provision of these Terms shall be deemed unlawful, void
or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be
deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the
validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
</p>
<h4>15. Ordering online</h4>
<p>
Upon completing your order and submitting it through the
checkout system, an order reference number will be issued to you
via a confirmation email. We will not process your order until
it has passed our internal validation procedures, for the
purpose of preventing credit card or payment fraud. Upon
processing your order and receiving payment we will send you a
confirmation email which is your Tax Invoice. We reserve the
right to refuse service or supply of the products or to
terminate the contract and/or your account at our sole
discretion. If we cannot process your order after receiving
payment, we will contact you using the details entered at the
checkout. By placing an order with stemmechanics.com.au, you
declare that will not be on-selling the product(s) to another
person(s) for financial gain.
</p>
<p>
In the instance that you need to cancel or edit your order of a
physical item; if you fail to notify us before your order has
been dispatched, you can incur a return to sender delivery fee
of $25. To avoid any fees associated when cancelling/editing
your order, you'll need to notify receive confirmation from a
STEMMechanics customer support team member before the order has
been dispatched from our premises.
</p>
<p>
Digital items cannot be cancelled or edited after receiving
payment.
</p>
<h4>16. Pricing &amp; availability</h4>
<p>
All prices are shown in Australia dollars (AUD). All items are
subject to availability and we reserve the right to impose
quantity limits on any order, to reject all or part of an order
and to discontinue products or services without notice, even if
you have already placed your order. All prices are subject to
change without notice. Prices displayed on the Sites may vary
from those in the store or from store-advertised prices. All
purchases on applicable products include GST at the rate of 10%.
</p>
<h4>17. Errors</h4>
<p>
We attempt to be as accurate as possible and eliminate errors on
the Sites; however, we do not warrant that any product, service,
description, photograph, pricing or other information is
accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. In the
event of an error, whether on the Sites, in an order
confirmation, in processing an order, delivering a product or
service or otherwise, we reserve the right to correct such error
and revise your order accordingly if necessary (including
charging the correct price) or to cancel the order and refund
any amount charged. Your sole remedy in the event of such error
is to cancel your order and obtain a refund.
</p>
<h4>18. Out of stock / pre-order items</h4>
<p>
If the colour or size you want is not listed in the "Choose Your
Colour/Size" drop-down box on the Product Information page, it
is not then available for ordering. Please check back later. If
the colour or size you want has an Out of Stock label, it is on
backorder and available for pre-order. Sometimes we will not
know in advance that product is unavailable, so when you place
items in your Cart you will be asked if you would like to
pre-order them. If you indicate yes, the item will be sent to
you once it becomes available. Note that some items may be
backordered or unavailable even if the Sites indicate that they
are in-stock, and adding an item to your Cart does not guarantee
the availability of that item. If you have items on pre-order
that you would like to cancel, please contact us.
</p>
<h4>
19. Agreement to Conduct Transactions Electronically; Recording;
Copies
</h4>
<p>
You agree that all of your transactions with or through the
Sites may, at our option, be conducted electronically from start
to finish, and that any oral conversations may be recorded. If
we decide to proceed non-electronically, those transactions will
still be governed by the remainder of these Terms unless you
enter into different terms provided by us. You are responsible
to print or make an electronic a copy of these Terms and any
other contract or disclosure that we are required to provide to
you.
</p>
<h4>20. Payment</h4>
<p>
We currently accept Visa and Mastercard online. Only valid
credit cards or other payment method acceptable to us may be
used and all refunds will be credited to the same card or, in
our discretion, other method. By submitting your order, you
represent and declare that you are authorized to use the
designated card or method and authorize us to charge your order
(including taxes, delivery costs, handling and any other amounts
described on the Sites) to that card or other method. If the
card (or other method) cannot be verified, is invalid, or is not
otherwise acceptable, your order may be suspended or cancelled
automatically.
</p>
<h4>21. Third-party sellers / on-sellers (buying &amp; selling)</h4>
<p>
You may not place orders with the intention to immediately
on-forward the products to another person in a business
transaction (via marketplaces such as eBay etc), without the
express written permission of STEMMechanics.
</p>
<p>
In the instance that you, a customer who has received a
STEMMechanics order via an on-forwarder, then you forfeit your
right to make; a) a warranty claim or b) refund or exchange with
STEMMechanics. As per Australian Consumer Law or Consumer
Guarantee, the reseller who has conducted the transaction must
address the warranty and refunds directly with the manufacturer
at their own cost and loss.
</p>
<p>
If a reseller who has conducted the transaction is requesting
that STEMMechanics send the product directly to the customer
then they are engaging in Misleading Breach of the Law. The two
laws are: Section 18 of the act which relates to Passing Off,
and Trading on the Goodwill of Another Business - and, section
29 1 G which relates to Affiliation (misleading the customer
that the seller works for the Retailer, in this case
STEMMechanics). This can be made obvious by the reseller's
customer receiving a Tax Invoice for the products with
STEMMechanics letterhead and other documentation supplied by
STEMMechanics Outdoors, misleading the customer to think they
are buying from a reputable store instead of a reseller, often
just a consumer. Exceptions to this would be if the reseller has
an ABN or ACN that relates solely and specifically to reselling
products purchased from a Retailer, to their customer base. They
will still be responsible for warranty and after sales service
but this is allowed under the Law.
