Website Terms of Use
1. General
These terms and conditions (“Terms”) form the agreement between you and Motorcycle Holdings Operations Pty Ltd ABN 80 150 970 344 of 68 Moss Street, Slacks Creek, QLD 4127 (“we” or “us” or “our”) for the sale of the motorcycles (“Vehicles”) and spare parts and accessories (“Parts and Accessories”) on stacyc.com.au (“Web Site”). The Web Site is intended only for consumers wishing to order Vehicles and Parts and Accessories (“Products”) through the Web Site for delivery in Australia or collection in store. We do not accept orders for delivery outside Australia. You should understand that by ordering any of Products, you accept these Terms. You may print a copy of these Terms for future reference. We reserve the right to change these Terms at any time without prior notice. Such changes however will have no effect on orders that were submitted before posting of such revised Terms on the Web Site.
2. Placing Your Order
2.1 To place an order you must be 18 years of age or over and have a valid email address.
2.2 Your order constitutes an offer by you to buy the Products on these Terms. You are deemed to have placed an order with us by ordering via our online checkout process. After placing an order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order and containing an order reference number and details of the Product(s) you have ordered ("Order Confirmation"). Please note that the Order Confirmation is acknowledgment that we have received your order and does not mean your order has been accepted by us. All orders are subject to our acceptance of your offer to buy the Product(s) ordered. We will only accept your offer (and form the contract of sale on these Terms, the “Contract”) when we contact you by email or phone to confirm your order has been accepted and to arrange delivery/collection of the Product (a "Dispatch Confirmation"). These Terms constitute the entire Contract between us and you for the supply of Products.
2.3 We may refuse to accept your order or reverse your order:
2.3.1 where the Product is not available;
2.3.2 where we cannot obtain authorisation for your payment;
2.3.3 if there has been a pricing or Product description error (see clauses 2.5 and 3.4); or
2.3.4 if you do not meet the eligibility criteria set out in these Terms.
2.4 We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch or date of collection of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.
2.5 All Products are subject to availability. If, for any reason, any or all of the Products you have ordered are or become unavailable or there has been an error in the price on the Web Site we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of this as soon as possible after becoming aware of it and advise you of revised delivery or collection dates (if applicable). In such cases, if you have already paid for the Products we will either notify you when the Products will be delivered (or collected) or refund you the amount paid as soon as reasonably possible.
3. Prices
3.1 The price of the Products will be as quoted on the Web Site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. Product prices include GST at the current rates. Unless specified otherwise, the price quoted on our Web Site for Products will include dealer pre-delivery charges.
3.2 For Vehicles, ‘ride away prices’ are inclusive of all offers, cash backs, rebates and discounts from manufacturers and dealers.
3.3 Product prices and delivery charges are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.
3.4 Our Web Site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our Web Site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you or making it available for collection. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our Web Site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product or making it available for collection, or reject your order and notify you that we are rejecting it. If the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as an error, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.
3.5 You may pay for your Products by the methods of payment displayed on the checkout section of the Web Site. You must pay in the currency as indicated on your invoice.
4. Delivery of Your Products
4.1 Orders placed on the Web Site can only be delivered in Australia, or collected in store.
4.2 We will deliver the Products to the delivery address you specify in your order. Your chosen delivery method will be specified on the Order Confirmation. All deliveries will be co-ordinated by our dealerships and will be arranged through the Dispatch Confirmation process.
4.3 Any date of dispatch/collection of the Products communicated through the Dispatch Confirmation process is an estimate only.
4.4 Delivery of the Products does not normally include installation unless we expressly specify otherwise.
4.5 We will be deemed to have delivered the Product(s) to you when we deliver them to the address you gave us when placing the order, or when they are collected in store.
4.6 The Products will be your responsibility from the earlier of time of dispatch in accordance with the Dispatch Confirmation, or collection in store.
4.7 If you elect to collect your Product in store, upon notification by us that the Product is ready for collection, you shall, subject to payment in full be entitled to and shall take delivery of the Product within seven (7) days of such notification.
4.8 Ownership of the Products will only pass to you on the later of either delivery/collection or when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges (if applicable).
5. Exchanges, Returns and Refunds
5.1 The Products may come with certain guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law as set out in Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (“Australian Consumer Law”). You may be entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You may also be 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.
5.2 If you have changed your mind on a Parts and Accessories purchase and you are able to provide satisfactory proof of purchase, you may be eligible for an exchange or refund within a reasonable period of time from purchase (in most cases a reasonable period of time is deemed to be 30 days) provided that the item:
5.2.1 is in new saleable condition;
5.2.2 is unworn or unused with all original, sealed packaging and tags attached; and
5.2.3 is not subject to the exclusions listed at clause 5.5 below.
5.3 Exchanges for the same item of clothing or accessories in a different size will not incur any additional charges. However, if the new item of clothing or accessories is a different Product (including a different colour) and there is a price difference, you will need to pay the difference.
5.4 We are not required to provide you with a copy of your original receipt to facilitate an exchange or refund.
5.5 If you have changed your mind, you are not eligible for an exchange or refund for:
5.5.1 custom made, personalised or altered items;
5.5.2 gift cards or vouchers;
5.5.3 special orders; or
5.5.4 electrical items.
5.6 If you believe a Product is not of acceptable quality (for example, it is faulty), then you may have rights to a remedy under the Australian Consumer Law. These rights are not impacted by the change of mind policy or limited by a defined timeframe. However, the Australian Consumer Law does recognise that the relevant time period may vary by Product (or service) depending on the nature of the goods (or service).
5.7 Where you believe a Product is not of acceptable quality, it may be necessary for us to send the item to the manufacturer or their service agent for it to be assessed within a reasonable period of time. If there is a major failure with the item, you may choose a refund, exchange or repair. If the failure is minor, we will repair the item (or, at our discretion, we may replace the item or refund you) within a reasonable time.
5.8 Where an item is damaged through abnormal use, we are not required to provide a refund, exchange or repair.
5.9 Please keep your receipt as we will require satisfactory proof that you purchased the item from us before providing a remedy under the Australian Consumer Law.

6.4 If any condition, warranty, guarantee or other provision is implied or imposed in relation to these Terms (whether based in legislation, the common law or otherwise) and cannot be excluded (a "Non-Excludable Term"), and we are able to limit your remedy for a breach of such Non-Excludable Term, then our liability for such a breach of a Non-Excludable Term is limited to one or more of the following, at our option:

7.6 Subject to clause 7.5, if either of us fails to comply with these Terms, neither of us shall be responsible for any losses that the other suffers as a result, except for those losses which are a foreseeable consequence of the failure to comply with these Terms.
