Terms & Conditions

Global Retail Brands Australia Pty Ltd ACN 006 348 205 ("we" "us") operates a website, www.myhouse.com.au (our "Site") and the Site, the products available for purchase on the Site (“Products”) and related services are made available to the Customer ("you") pursuant to the following Terms of Conditions and any other policies posted on our Site from time to time (collectively, the "T&C's"). Please read the T&C's carefully before placing any orders on our Site.

We recommend you should keep a copy of the T&C's for future reference. We may modify the T&C's at any time. By accessing or using this Site, you agree to these terms & conditions of use. If you do not agree to these terms you may not use this site.

These T&C’s also apply to the sale of any of our Products via methods other than the Site, including sales by telephone, email or other means, unless otherwise specified in writing.

In order to make a purchase through the Site, you will be required to register and provide your personal details. In particular, you must provide your real name, phone number, email address and other requested information as indicated.

Furthermore, when ordering items, you will be required to provide payment details and guarantee that the payment details you provide on ordering are both valid and correct and that you are the person referred to in the billing information provided.

We sell and ship Products only within Australia. We will not make deliveries outside of Australia or to parcel lockers within or outside of Australia. We do not encourage you to use the Safe Drop option from Australia Post whereby your parcel will be left unattended at your nominated address, however if you do elect to use this service we are not responsible for any missing parcels and no claims can be made against us for compensation

How You Place Orders.

You may place an Order by selecting Products from our site, proceeding through our checkout and payment process and clicking the "Pay Now" button. Once your Order has been placed, you will receive an email acknowledging the details of your Order. This email is NOT an acceptance of your Order, just a confirmation that we have received it.

Order Acceptance

By placing an Order, you make an offer to us to purchase the Products you have selected based on these T&C's. Information contained on the Site constitutes an invitation to treat. No information on our Site constitutes or should be deemed as an offer by us to supply any Products; however we will make every effort to supply Products to you. We will notify you that your Order is being processed by sending you an Order Confirmation and invoice via email; however, we do not formally accept your offer until your Order has passed our internal validation procedures for verifying the bona fides of each Order placed, for the purpose of preventing credit card or payment fraud. We and our affiliates reserve the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content, or cancel Orders in our sole discretion. We will confirm acceptance of your Order when we send you an email confirming shipment of the Products you have ordered. If we cannot process or accept your Order after payment is received we will contact you by email or telephone.

We reserve the right not to accept or reject your Order if:

• We are unable to obtain authorisation for payment;
• The Product ordered is out of stock;
• The Product does not satisfy our quality control standards and is withdrawn;
• You do not meet the eligibility criteria set out within the T&C's;
• The Product ordered is subject to an error on the website, for example, in relation to a description, price or image; or
• An event beyond our control, such as storm, flood, earthquake, terrorism, power failure, war, strike or failure of computer systems, means that we are unable to supply the Product within a reasonable time.

To the extent permitted by law, we reserve the right to refuse to process and therefore accept a transaction, cancel an Order that we have previously accepted, refuse service to anyone, at any time and for any reason, at our discretion.

We will not be liable to you or any third party by reason of our not accepting an Order, withdrawing any merchandise from the Site, removing or editing content on the Site; refusing to process a transaction; or suspending any transaction after processing has begun.

All prices on this website are in Australian Dollars (AUD) and are inclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST).

We currently accept Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Shop Pay, Afterpay and Openpay as payment options for purchases.

We process payments after you click the "Pay Now" button. Orders placed on a weekend or a Public holiday will be processed immediately but filling of the Order will not occur until the next business day. Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding NSW and Victorian public holidays. We will email an invoice to you with your Order Confirmation. Your invoice is your proof of purchase subject to payment being received by us.

For credit or debit card purchases, payments will be debited and cleared from your account upon placing of your Order. By making a payment you confirm that the credit/debit card that is being used is yours or that you have been specifically authorised by the owner of the credit/debit card to use it. All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.

Credit Card Security

We take all reasonable care to make our Site secure. All credit card transactions on this Site are processed using a secure online payment gateway that encrypts your card details in a secure host environment.

To help ensure that your shopping experience is safe, simple and secure we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. Our online ordering system is the industry standard for encryption technology to protect your online order information. SSL encrypts all information including your credit card and all personal information passed from you to us. Encryption provides you with security and peace of mind when your browser and local network supports the use of encrypted data transmissions.

We will take all reasonable care to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Site unless that access was made possible by our negligence.

Please Note:

• We are unable to accept credit cards issued by banks outside of Australia.
• Debit cards and credit cards have daily spending limits that may substantially delay the processing of your order, if exceeded.

You may be required to provide further identification and information for additional security reference checks.

Coupons and Discounts.

Any coupon codes, including free shipping or discount offers, are valid at the time of order placement only and must be entered in correctly at the relevant point in the payment process for you to be eligible for the offer promoted by the coupon. Coupon offers will not be valid or honoured on Orders successfully placed if used incorrectly or inappropriately. We reserve the right to cancel any order relating to a coupon code that we deem to have been used incorrectly or inappropriately.

Coupon codes are also not to be shared publicly. Sharing codes on a public forum is a breach of our T&C’s. It is your responsibility to read specific details about a coupon code, which may outline what it can or cannot be used for. For example, whether it requires a minimum spend or whether it applies to a specific range of products or available to a specific group of people only.

We do not formally accept your offer until your Order has passed our internal validation procedures for verifying the bona fides of each Order placed. We may run security checks for the purpose of preventing credit card or payment fraud. Security checks may be conducted by telephone, by email or by a combination of both. As part of a security check we will require you to provide further verification of your credit card and your identification. You are welcome to perform a security check in store if you do not wish to participate via email or phone. If you do not agree to undergo a security check you may choose to process your payment through PayPal instead or you may have your order cancelled and refunded. We maintain absolute discretion to cancel and refund your Order if you refuse to undergo any part of a security check.

1. Colours

We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our Products that appear on our Site. However, as computer monitors vary, we cannot guarantee that your monitor's display of any colour will be completely accurate.

2. Pricing and Stock availability

We always seek to list Products with the most competitive prices. We are constantly revising our offerings of products, and we may discontinue products at any time without notice. All pricing for our products is subject to change. We reserve the right to change prices for Products displayed on the Site at any time before you submit an Order. We otherwise reserve the right to make adjustments due to changing market conditions, currency fluctuations, product discontinuation, manufacturer price changes, errors in advertisements and other extenuating circumstances. The price of Products shown excludes shipping costs. The shipping cost is shown separately on the Product page but may be recalculated based on how many and what items you place in your shopping cart.

Information contained throughout the web pages and in our database is believed to be accurate and reliable at the time of publishing.

We reserve the right to make changes and corrections in prices, products, and specifications without notice. If there is a pricing error on the web site we will endeavour to correct as soon as possible.

If your order is cancelled after you have paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund in the same tender as your original purchase.

You may return it to us within a reasonable period after purchase. In the unlikely event that your item arrives damaged or faulty, you must also notify us as soon as possible.

Assessment of failure and entitlements

To return an item, you must follow our returns process. Please refer to ‘Organising the Return of Products’ below for more information.
• Where during the preliminary assessment, we agree that a Product is defective and needs to be replaced or repaired, return shipping will be arranged at our expense.

We recommend that items are returned to us via courier or registered post to ensure that they are protected and insured during transit. Please keep the receipts of any shipping costs you incur.

• Products that are damaged as a result of normal wear and tear, misuse, failure to take reasonable care or failure to use in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions are not considered to be faulty.
• If a Product is replaced, your replacement Product becomes your property and the returned Product becomes our property. When a refund is given, the returned Product becomes our property.

Manufacturer Warranty

Many of our Products come with a guarantee or warranty from the manufacturer. Please refer to the warranty terms and conditions on or in the packaging, however nothing in those warranty terms and conditions excludes the application of the Consumer Guarantees that apply under the Australian Consumer Law, and our change of mind guarantee. 

You may also be required to send us images of the damage to help us with our assessment. We will then contact the supplier to finalise your warranty claim. Please do not attempt to return an item before speaking to one of our specialists (as you may be responsible for associated expenses where your product is found not to be in breach of warranty).

Products that are damaged as a result of normal wear and tear, misuse, failure to take reasonable care or failure to use in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions are not considered to be faulty.

Warranty on Mattresses

12 month warranty covers the following defects, provided that they arise or appear in circumstances in which you have handled, maintained, and used the Product only for its intended purpose and have not subjected it to conditions likely to cause deterioration or damage beyond normal wear:

• A visible indentation or sag greater than 2.5cm in the foam material. This refers to an indentation that is visible when no weight is applied to the top of the Product.
• Any physical flaw in the foam material that causes it to split or crack under conditions of normal household use and proper handling.
• Any manufacturing defect in the mattress cover such as the fabric tearing or stitching unravelling.

In addition, some degree of individualization of your mattress should be expected. Imperfections that do not prevent ordinary use and enjoyment of the Product by a reasonable person are not considered to be defects.

More specifically, this Limited Warranty excludes:

• minor imperfections and slight cosmetic flaws;
• normal wear and tear;
• tears, stains, soiling, burns, and discoloration that occur over time; and
• dampness or mould.

In addition, this Limited Warranty does not cover conditions resulting from abusive handling, misuse, or neglect.

Accordingly, the following circumstances, if discovered upon inspection, will void your Warranty:

• any unsanitary condition;
• burns;
• use of the Product on an improper bed frame;
• physically abusing the Product;
• attempting to clean the Product in an inappropriate manner; and
• improper storage of the Product (including storage in damp locations, areas infected with insects or rodents, or any other unprotected storage areas).

Organising the Return of Products

Products must be returned whenever we agree to provide you with a refund or replace the Product or ask you to return the Product to us for inspection.

To return any item you purchase online for any reason you must arrange the return either by:

• return postage through Australia Post, or
• delivering it personally to your nearest MyHouse store.

Please refer to below table for returns options.

Please contact our Customer Service Team to arrange a return request via one of the following methods:

• Toll Free:1300 136 936  
• Email:support@myhouse.com.au

Please note:

• RETURN AUTHORISATION NUMBER (A Must Have) All returns sent to us via post must have a Return Authorisation (RA) number which you will need to obtain from us. This is required for replacement Products and refunds. After you have provided us with the required information, the Customer Service team will email you a PDF voucher containing the RA number, which you must print and affix to the Product prior to posting. The Product should be returned to us within 30 days of the issuance of the RA. Returns without an RA number will not be accepted. If you send us a Product without an RA, we may not able to identify sufficient details to enable us to attend to your claim. You will be notified by email once your return has been received and processed. Unidentified returns may be returned to the sender. Therefore please ensure all details are clear and concise.
• For change of mind returns, the Product must be returned new and unused, including any accessories, manuals, documentation and registration that were shipped with the Product. For all other returns, you must include all parts, accessories, documentation and packaging originally included with your item/s as far as possible (unless otherwise advised).
• It is your responsibility to ensure that the Products are protected from damage or loss in transit. Returns that are damaged or soiled in transit may not be accepted and may be sent back to you and/or a refund refused. We recommend paying for tracking or product insurance.

Refunds

Where we agree to refund you for a Product the refund will be credited to your original method of payment.

Replacement Products

Where we agree to replace a Product:

• A replacement for the Product that you ordered will be shipped to you at our expense after we have received your returned Product (does not apply to change of mind returns).
• The delivery time for the replacement Product will be the same as stated for the original Product.
• Replacement products are subject to the same warranties and consumer guarantees as the original product. However the change of mind guarantee will no longer apply.
