Delivery failures. We are not responsible for failed or delayed delivery caused by an incomplete or incorrect address, refusal of the parcel, or the carrier being unable to access the address. If redelivery is needed for these reasons, we may charge you the reasonable redelivery cost.
6. Title and Risk
Title to the Products passes to you once full payment has been received. Risk in the Products passes to you on delivery.
7. Returns, Refunds and Consumer Guarantees
7.1 Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the ACL. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
These rights apply regardless of any other policy in this section.

If a Product is faulty, damaged, not as described, or not what you ordered, contact us at ordersupport@french-bloom.comwith your order number and supporting evidence. We will offer you a refund, replacement or other remedy as required by the ACL, and we will bear the reasonable cost of returning the Product if a return is required.

In addition to your rights above, as a matter of French Bloom policy, you may request a return or exchange within fourteen (14) days of receiving a Product if it is unopened, in its original packaging and in good condition. Contact ordersupport@french-bloom.com to start a return, and we will tell you where to send the Product. The cost of return shipping is borne by us. Please keep proof of postage. Once we receive and inspect the return, we will refund you using the original payment method within fourteen (14) days. Products that are opened, used or damaged by the Customer are not eligible for change-of-mind returns and may be returned to you at your cost.

9. The Club Loyalty Program
9.1 Purpose. “The Club” (the “Program”) is offered by French Bloom to registered customers. Members earn points through purchases and brand interactions and can convert points into discounts on future orders. Enrolment is free and requires no purchase. The Program operates on the Smile.io platform.
9.2 Earning points. Members may earn points by signing up, placing orders and engaging with our social channels, among other activities we may offer. We may change, add, suspend or end earning methods, and where this affects points a member has already earned, we will give reasonable notice.
9.3 Redeeming points. Points convert at a continuous rate of 100 points = A$1 off. The discount has no minimum order value, applies to one-time purchases only, and is issued as a unique code personal to the member that cannot be transferred, sold or assigned.
9.4 Expiry.
- Points: expire after twelve (12) consecutive months of account inactivity (no purchase or engagement). We will email you thirty (30) days before points expire.
- Discount codes: valid for twelve (12) months from issue. After that, the code expires and the underlying points are not reinstated.
9.5 Changes and termination. We may modify these Program terms, update the rewards, or end the Program by giving members reasonable written notice (by email or account notification). Points already earned remain usable on the terms that applied when they were earned. If the Program ends, members will have a reasonable period, advised at the time, to redeem remaining points. We may suspend or terminate participation, including cancelling points, in cases of fraud, abuse or misuse (such as multiple accounts or abnormal redemption patterns).
9.6 Technical issues. We are not liable for temporary technical faults or unavailability of the Program or the Smile.io platform, but we will take reasonable steps to restore access. This does not limit your rights under the ACL.
9.7 Governing law. For members in Australia, the Program is governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia.
10. Consumer Guarantees and Warranty
Our Products come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law, including that they will be of acceptable quality, fit for any purpose we have made known, and match their description.
Claims should be sent to ordersupport@french-bloom.com with supporting evidence.
11. Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, and subject to your rights under the ACL, we are not liable for loss or damage arising from:
- misuse or alteration of a Product;
- use of a Product contrary to its labelling or intended use;
- events of force majeure;
- failures of the internet, servers, third-party systems, or external intrusion or viruses beyond our reasonable control.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for misleading or deceptive conduct, or for any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
12. Privacy
We collect and handle your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), including the Australian Privacy Principles.

The affected party will notify the other as soon as practicable and take reasonable steps to limit the impact. This does not limit your rights under the ACL.
15. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms, as they apply to customers in Australia, are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You and French Bloom submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and the Commonwealth of Australia.
