Terms of service
1. Overview
This website is operated by Desk Formula. Throughout these Terms of Service, “Desk Formula,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Desk Formula.
These Terms govern your access to and use of deskformula.com, including any content, features, products and services available through the website. Our store is hosted by Shopify, which provides the ecommerce platform that allows us to offer products to you.
By visiting our website, creating an account or purchasing a product, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, Shipping Policy and Return and Refund Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use our services.
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, including rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
2. Eligibility and accounts
You must be at least the age of majority in your place of residence, or have the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian, to make a purchase.
You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information when using our website or placing an order.
If you create an account, you are responsible for protecting your login details and for activity conducted through your account. Please notify us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without permission.
3. Products and product information
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, photographs, dimensions, prices and availability are accurate.
Colours and appearance may vary slightly due to lighting, screen settings and manufacturing differences. Measurements are approximate, and minor production variations may occur.
The embedded sample pieces in our periodic-table display are decorative. Their authenticity and individual composition have not been independently verified by Desk Formula. No hazardous or radioactive material is represented as being supplied unless we have reliable evidence supporting that claim.
Product images may include lifestyle settings or digital visualisations for illustrative purposes. The product description, listed dimensions and included components should be used when assessing the product.
We may update, modify or discontinue products without notice. We may also limit quantities available to a person, household, location or jurisdiction.
Nothing in this section limits your rights if a product is faulty, unsafe, materially different from its description or otherwise fails to comply with applicable consumer law.
4. Orders
Submitting an order is an offer to purchase. An order is accepted when we confirm that it has been accepted and payment has been successfully processed.
We may decline or cancel an order where reasonably necessary, including because of:
-
Product unavailability
-
Incorrect pricing or product information
-
Suspected fraud or unauthorised payment
-
Delivery restrictions
-
An obvious error
-
A breach of these Terms
If we cancel an order after payment has been collected, we will refund the affected amount to the original payment method.
Review your order and delivery information carefully before submitting it. If you need to request a change or cancellation, contact us immediately. We cannot guarantee that an order can be changed or cancelled after processing or fulfilment has begun.
Products are sold for lawful personal or household use unless otherwise agreed.
5. Prices, payment and taxes
Prices are displayed in the currency selected for your market or shown at checkout.
Prices include applicable taxes where required by law. Any shipping charges, duties, import taxes or other charges payable by you will be disclosed before purchase where reasonably possible.
International customers may be responsible for customs duties, import taxes or fees imposed by their country unless checkout states that these charges are included.
Prices and promotions may change without notice. Changes will not affect an order that has already been accepted, except where there has been an obvious pricing error.
You agree to provide accurate billing and payment information and confirm that you are authorised to use the selected payment method.
6. Shipping and delivery
Orders are delivered to the address provided at checkout. You are responsible for checking that your delivery information is complete and accurate.
Processing and delivery estimates are provided in our Shipping Policy and at relevant points on our website. Delivery dates are estimates and may be affected by carriers, customs processing, weather, peak periods or events outside our reasonable control.
We remain responsible for providing any remedy required under applicable consumer law if an order is lost, damaged, materially delayed or not delivered.
If an order is returned because the customer supplied an incorrect or incomplete address, refused delivery or failed to collect it, we may require payment of reasonable reshipping costs. This does not apply where the return resulted from our error or a failure to comply with applicable consumer law.
7. Returns, refunds and cancellations
Returns, refunds, replacements and cancellations are governed by our Return and Refund Policy:
https://deskformula.com/policies/refund-policy
Our policy is additional to any rights that apply automatically under consumer law.
For faulty, unsafe, damaged, incorrect or materially misdescribed products, the remedy available may depend on the nature and seriousness of the problem and the law that applies.
8. European Union customers
We do not currently market or offer delivery to every European Union country. However, if we make a product available for delivery to an EU customer and accept that order, mandatory EU consumer rights will apply.
Eligible EU consumers generally have the right to withdraw from an online purchase without giving a reason within 14 days after receiving the goods. If multiple items from one order are delivered separately, the period begins when the final item is received.
The customer may exercise this right through an available self-service return option or by sending us a clear statement through our Contact page.
After notifying us, the customer must return the goods within 14 days using the instructions provided. Unless otherwise required by law, the customer is responsible for the direct cost of withdrawal-based return shipping.
For a valid withdrawal, we will reimburse the product price and the cost of our least expensive standard delivery option. We may withhold reimbursement until we receive the goods or evidence that they have been returned, whichever occurs first.
Further details are provided in our Return and Refund Policy. Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory consumer protection available under the laws of an EU member state.
9. Privacy
Our collection and handling of personal information are described in our Privacy Policy:
https://deskformula.com/policies/privacy-policy
Our store is hosted by Shopify. Information you provide may be processed by Shopify and other service providers that help operate our store, process payments, prevent fraud, communicate with customers and deliver orders.
10. Acceptable use
You must not use our website or services:
-
For an unlawful, fraudulent or malicious purpose
-
To infringe another person’s legal or intellectual-property rights
-
To transmit malware, harmful code or deceptive material
-
To collect personal information without authorisation
-
To interfere with the website’s security or operation
-
To impersonate another person or provide false information
-
To send spam or other unauthorised communications
-
To bypass access controls or security measures
-
To scrape, copy or exploit substantial parts of the website without permission
We may restrict or terminate access where we reasonably believe these Terms or applicable law have been breached.
11. Intellectual property
The Desk Formula name, branding, original website content, layout and materials created by us are owned by or licensed to Desk Formula and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
Product photographs, platform features, trademarks and other third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners and are used under applicable licences or permissions.
You may use the website for personal, non-commercial purposes. You must not reproduce, distribute, modify, republish or commercially exploit protected website content without the permission of the relevant rights holder.
12. Reviews, feedback and submissions
If you voluntarily submit a review, photograph, video, suggestion or other content, you confirm that:
-
The submission is truthful and based on your genuine experience
-
You own it or have permission to submit it
-
It does not infringe another person’s rights
-
Any incentive or compensation connected to it has been disclosed
-
It does not contain unlawful, abusive or malicious content
You grant Desk Formula a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce and display the submission for operating and promoting our business, subject to applicable privacy and consumer laws.
We may moderate or remove submissions that breach these Terms. We will not knowingly create or present fake or misleading customer reviews.
Supplier-marketplace reviews displayed on our website are identified as such and do not represent purchases made directly from Desk Formula.
13. Third-party services and links
Our website may use or link to services operated by third parties, including Shopify, payment providers, analytics services, social platforms and delivery providers.
Third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for an independent third-party website merely because our website links to it.
Nothing in this section removes any responsibility Desk Formula has for products sold directly through our store.
14. Shopify’s role
Desk Formula is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you. However, any sales and purchases you make in our Store are made directly with Desk Formula. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that Shopify is not responsible for any aspect of any sales between you and Desk Formula, including any injury, damage, or loss resulting from purchased products and services. You hereby expressly release Shopify and its affiliates from all claims, damages, and liabilities arising from or related to your purchases and transactions with Desk Formula.
15. Errors and availability
Our website may occasionally contain typographical errors, inaccurate information or omissions concerning product descriptions, prices, promotions, shipping, availability or other matters.
We may correct genuine errors and update information when identified. If an error materially affects an accepted order, we will contact you and provide an appropriate option, which may include proceeding with corrected information or receiving a refund.
We will not use this section to avoid an order merely because a product later becomes less profitable.
16. Service availability
We do not guarantee that the website will always be uninterrupted, secure or error-free. We may suspend access temporarily for maintenance, security, operational or legal reasons.
The website may contain general informational material. Customers should not rely on decorative products or website content as professional scientific, educational, medical or safety advice.
17. Liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies:
-
Rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded
-
Liability for fraud, wilful misconduct or personal injury where exclusion is prohibited
-
Consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law
-
Mandatory rights available under another applicable law
To the extent permitted by law, Desk Formula is not liable for indirect or consequential loss that was not reasonably foreseeable when the order was made.
Where liability may lawfully be limited, our liability will be limited to the remedies permitted by applicable law. This section does not restrict a customer’s right to a repair, replacement, refund, compensation or other remedy where the law provides that right.
18. Indemnity
You are responsible for reasonably foreseeable loss suffered by Desk Formula as a direct result of your unlawful use of the website, deliberate breach of these Terms or infringement of another person’s rights.
This section does not require you to indemnify us for loss caused by our own negligence, unlawful conduct or breach of these Terms.
19. Suspension and termination
You may stop using our website at any time.
We may suspend or terminate access where reasonably necessary to protect the website, customers, Desk Formula or third parties, or where we reasonably believe these Terms or applicable law have been breached.
Termination does not affect rights, obligations or payments that arose before termination. Provisions intended to continue after termination, including intellectual-property, liability and governing-law provisions, will remain effective.
20. Severability
If any part of these Terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, that part will be limited or removed only to the extent necessary. The remaining provisions will continue to apply.
21. No waiver
If we do not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not waive our right to enforce it later.
22. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes to our services, practices or legal obligations.
The current version will be published on this page. Where required by law, we will provide notice of material changes. Changes will not retrospectively remove rights attached to an order already accepted.
23. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of South Australia, Australia.
Nothing in these Terms prevents a consumer from relying on mandatory rights or protections available under the laws that apply to them.
