4. INFORMATION ABOUT JB HI-FI’S LIABILITY TO YOU AND YOUR LIABILITY TO JB HI-FI

Except to the extent caused by JB Hi-Fi’s negligence or breach of these Terms and Conditions, or as otherwise required by law, JB Hi-Fi shall not be liable to you for any loss to you to the extent it is caused by: (i) your Account information being incomplete or inaccurate; (ii) any unauthorised use of your Password or Account which takes place before you notify JB Hi-Fi; (iii) your Order information being incomplete or inaccurate; (iv) being unable to change or cancel your Order once it has been accepted by JB Hi-Fi; (v) your Order not being received, being lost, misdirected or delayed as a result of the facility to place Orders being unavailable due to issues with the Website beyond the reasonable control of JB Hi-Fi; (vi) cancellation of your Order; (vii) the availability of any Goods beyond the reasonable control of JB Hi-Fi; (viii) delay in delivery of the Goods to you or delay in the availability of Goods for pick up in-store beyond the reasonable control of JB Hi-Fi; (ix) any delay in you receiving any refund due to you beyond the reasonable control of JB Hi-Fi; (x) any late, lost or misdirected deliveries of Goods beyond the reasonable control of JB Hi-Fi; or (xi) any loss, damage, cost or expense suffered as a direct or indirect result of JB Hi-Fi leaving the Goods in accordance with any “authority to leave” given by you, (xii) any breach of these Terms and Conditions by you; or (xiii) any other loss to the extent resulting from something outside of our control and within your control.


5. PRICING & TAXES

5.1 Prices for Goods are as shown on the Website.

5.3 In addition to the price for the Goods, you will also need to pay the listed delivery charge (if any) (“Delivery Charge”) for your Selected Delivery Option. Any Delivery Charge will appear in your shopping cart.

5.4 In addition to the price for the Goods and the Delivery Charge (if any) you may also need to pay any additional delivery charges which are not shown in your shopping cart but which we incur because you live in an area where light aircraft or barge transport is required, or to which our national courier company does not provide a door-to-door service (“Additional Delivery Charge”). These include, without limitation, Christmas Island, Norfolk Island, Roma and Nhulunbuy. Such charges may apply even where the item is shown on the Website as having “free delivery”, “free freight” or something similar. If you believe that you might live in such an area, you should contact Customer Service via jbbusiness@jbhifi.com.au for more information.

By placing an Order you agree to pay the price for the Goods, any Delivery Charge and any Additional Delivery Charge.

6.6 You must notify JB Hi-Fi immediately if you become aware of any actual or potential unauthorised use of a Password associated with your Account or your Account itself.

6.7 Except for the extent caused by JB Hi-Fi’s negligence or breach of these Terms and Conditions, if JB Hi-Fi suffers any loss, damage, cost or expense as a result of any unauthorised use of a Password associated with your Account or your Account itself which takes place before you notify JB Hi-Fi then you must pay JB Hi-Fi the amount of that loss, damage, cost or expense if JB Hi-Fi asks you to.

6.8 Please note that when you create an Account on the Website, you agree to subscribe to our marketing communications. You can unsubscribe at any time by the “unsubscribe” option in the relevant communication, for example, clicking on the unsubscribe link in the email you receive or texting the stated response word e.g. “STOP” or “UNSUB” or “REMOVE” to the mobile number in the SMS you receive.

6.9 You may not set up an account for someone else or for another Business.

6.10 JB Hi-Fi may, in its sole discretion, terminate your Account or your use of the Website at any time without notice if you, or if JB Hi-Fi suspects that you, are in material breach of these Terms and Conditions or if JB Hi-Fi believes acting reasonably that this is necessary to protect you or JB Hi-Fi from fraud or other unlawful or unauthorised use.


7. ORDERS

7.1 You can place an Order by following the instructions on the Website.

7.2 An Order submitted by you is an offer by you to purchase the Goods for the price plus the Delivery Charge as shown at the time of submission of your Order and any applicable Additional Delivery Charge. JB Hi-Fi may accept or reject your offer in its absolute discretion. In particular, but without limitation, JB Hi-Fi may reject Orders if you are not a commercial organisation or subject to any offer (e.g. family and friends of commercial customers) entitling you to purchase Goods from the Website. Please visit www.jbhifi.com.au if you wish to purchase goods from JB Hi-Fi but are not eligible to do so via the Website.

7.3 Each Order that you place will, if accepted by JB Hi-Fi, be a separate and binding agreement between you and JB Hi-Fi with respect to the supply of the relevant Goods, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

7.4 If you place an Order for someone else to receive the Goods you must obtain their consent before providing JB Hi-Fi with their personal information and, by placing an Order, you confirm to JB Hi-Fi that you have done this.

7.5 Sale of Restricted Goods is subject to various Commonwealth, State and Territory laws. By placing an Order for any Restricted Goods you warrant to JB Hi-Fi that you are:

    1. 18 years of age or older, where you Order products that are classified R18+;
    2. 15 years of age or older, where you Order products that are classified R15+.

When placing an Order for Restricted Goods you warrant that you are not obtaining the Restricted Goods on behalf of a person that is not eligible to purchase the Restricted Goods themselves.

7.6 Please ensure that you enter all information carefully when placing an Order. You warrant to JB Hi-Fi that all information provided by you in relation to each Order is complete, true and accurate.

7.7 Please check your Order and Selected Delivery Option carefully (including the quantities ordered) before submitting it as Orders may not be able to be changed or cancelled once the Order has been accepted by JB Hi-Fi. If you ask us to cancel or change your Order JB Hi-Fi will use reasonable endeavours to cancel or change the Order if it has not already been shipped but makes no representation that it will be able to do this.

7.8 Where you place separate Orders the Goods will be delivered separately and a separate Delivery Charge (and Additional Delivery Charge if applicable) will apply to each Order. JB Hi-Fi cannot consolidate separate Orders into one delivery.

7.9 Where you order more than one item in one Order, all Goods for which your Order is accepted at the same time will be dispatched together where practicable. However, in some cases Goods may be dispatched separately, for example: where the goods are being dispatched from different locations; or where the Goods are of different types (e.g. a mixture of hardware and software); or where the Goods have different availability statuses. Please note that a Delivery Charge is calculated based on several factors including the Good’s weight, dimensions, packaging, the number of delivery shipments required and the Selected Delivery Option.

7.10 The internet can be an unstable, and sometimes insecure, marketplace. At times the facility to place Orders may not be available, your Order might not be received, your Order may be lost or misdirected, or your Order might be delayed due to issues with the Website beyond the reasonable control of JB Hi-Fi.

7.11 You must take your own precautions to ensure that the process which you employ for accessing the Website does not expose you to risk of viruses, malicious computer code or other forms of interference which may damage your computer system and contains appropriate protection to prevent damage to your computer system caused by viruses, malicious computer code or other forms of interference.

7.12 You may only place an Order for Goods to be used in connection with your Business. You are not permitted to resell any Goods purchased unless authorised by JB Hi-Fi in writing in advance. The unauthorised resale or attempted resale of any Goods will be considered a breach of these Terms and Conditions.


8. AFTER YOU HAVE SUBMITTED AN ORDER / PAYMENT

8.1 When you submit an Order you will receive an Order reference number via email.

8.2 JB Hi-Fi will process payment for your Order when, or shortly after, you place your Order.

8.3 Upon receipt of an Order JB Hi-Fi will email you an Order confirmation email containing the Order reference number, the price for the Goods, any Delivery Charge and any Additional Delivery Charge. At this point your Order has been accepted by JB Hi-Fi subject to stock availability. A copy of your invoice will be available on the Order History page on your Account.

8.4 If JB Hi-Fi is unable to fulfil your Order, it will send you an email cancelling your Order as soon as practicable. In this event, JB Hi-Fi will refund any payment taken for your Order in accordance with Section 14.

8.5 When your Goods are dispatched JB Hi-Fi will send you an email confirming that the Goods have been dispatched.

8.6 When JB Hi-Fi accepts an Order it represents an agreement by JB Hi-Fi to supply the Goods to you in accordance with your Order subject to receiving payment from you and subject to these Terms and Conditions.

8.7 You must pay for Goods by credit card, certain prepaid payment cards, PayPal account or any interest free plan available on the Website. Subject to any transaction value conditions stipulated by your Bank, you may also pay for those Goods using PayID (subject to your Bank’s Terms and Conditions).

8.8 You must not pay, or attempt to pay, for Goods through any fraudulent or unlawful means. If the name on the credit card/payment card/account does not match the name on the Order, JB Hi-Fi may refuse to accept your order or ask you to provide additional information (for example, proof of identity documents) in accordance with its fraud detection processes. By providing your credit card/payment card/account or selecting one of the other available payment methods you authorise JB Hi-Fi to deduct the price and the applicable Delivery Charge(s) from such card or payment methods.

8.9 JB Hi-Fi reserves the right to change the payment methods that can be used for Orders at any time in its absolute discretion.

8.10 JB Hi-Fi may not be able to, or may decline to, accept payment from you by your nominated payment method at any time for any reason including, without limitation: (a) where our fraud detection systems detect possible irregularities; (b) because your financial institution or other payment provider has declined payment; (c) because your payment card has expired; (d) because the Order would result in you exceeding the credit limit under your JB Hi-Fi Business trade credit account; (d) where technical difficulties impact our ability to process payment; or (e) in any other situation if JB Hi-Fi believes, acting reasonably, that this is necessary to protect you or JB Hi-Fi from fraud or loss. Where this is the case, JB Hi-Fi reserves the right to cancel your Order and/or place your Order on hold and request you to ask you to provide additional information (for example, proof of identity documents) or arrange payment by another method. If you are unable to comply with JB Hi-Fi’s requests within the timescale specified, JB Hi-Fi may cancel your Order.

8.11 When you submit an Order, JB Hi-Fi may complete a pre-authorisation of the full value of the Order. A pre-authorisation is a practice of validating electronic transactions by holding the value of the Order unavailable until either the merchant charges the account or the transaction is cancelled. If an Order is cancelled (for example, because our fraud detection system has detected a possible irregularity), any pre-authorisation may still appear in your account as a pending transaction for a period of time, which will vary depending on your financial institution (e.g. 7 to 30 days). After such time, the funds will become available again for you to use.

8.12 Goods that you have ordered will not be dispatched to you until your payment for the Goods has cleared. If your payment cannot be processed, your Order will be rejected and we will notify you by email.


9. CANCELLATION OF ORDERS

9.1 JB Hi-Fi reserves the right to cancel, at any time before delivery, an Order that it has previously accepted where:

      1. JB Hi-Fi, acting in good faith, is unable to obtain sufficient quantities of stock to fulfill your Order within a reasonable timeframe;
      2. an event beyond JB Hi-Fi’s control, such as storm, fire, flood, earthquake, terrorism, power failure, war, strike, pandemic, government action or problems with the Internet or third-party computer systems, means that JB Hi-Fi is unable to supply the Goods within a reasonable time;
      3. Goods or services ordered were subject to an accidental error on the Website, for example, in relation to a description, price, reward or image, which was not discovered prior to the Order being dispatched;
      4. you ask JB Hi-Fi to cancel your Order in accordance with Section 7.7;
      5. in the circumstances set out in Sections 8.10 or 8.11; or
      6. you are paying for the Goods on your JB Hi-Fi Business Credit Account and any payment due to JB Hi-Fi by you is overdue.

9.2 You may cancel your Order where JB Hi-Fi:

      1. has breached a material term of this Agreement; or
      2. is not able to deliver your Order within a reasonable time of the estimated delivery time listed on the Website for the applicable Selected Delivery Option, other than a result of any delay: (i) for which you are wholly or partly responsible such as a failure to provide the correct delivery address or to pay for the Goods.

9.3 Where JB Hi-Fi cancels your order after acceptance it will send you and e-mail notifying you of the cancellation.

9.4 In the event JB Hi-Fi, or you, cancelling your Order after payment has been processed, JB Hi-Fi will refund any money paid in respect of that Order. Section 14 of these Terms and Conditions sets out further information about refunds.

9.5 JB Hi-Fi’s policy for change of mind returns does not apply to commercial Orders or Orders placed by a Business.


10. AVAILABILITY OF GOODS/REFURBISHED STOCK

10.1 As JB Hi-Fi is dependent upon its Suppliers to provide stock, JB Hi-Fi cannot guarantee availability at all times. You acknowledge and agree that, from time to time, certain Goods may be out of stock or unavailable. JB Hi-Fi reserves the right to withdraw or suspend from sale any Goods displayed on the Website, either temporarily or permanently, at any time without notice to you.

10.2 After you place an Order, if there are any changes in available stock and JB Hi-Fi is unable to fulfil your Order, you will be notified as soon as possible.

10.3 Goods that are shown on the Website as “Refurbished Stock” are Goods which have a cosmetic blemish or imperfection such as a scratch, dent or rub mark, have had a fault that has now been repaired by the manufacturer, or are ex-display models. All Refurbished Stock is in good working order and comes with the standard manufacturer’s warranty in addition to any statutory rights which may apply.


11. DELIVERY

11.1 When you place an Order for Goods to be delivered, you will be required to select one of the available Delivery Options for your Order (“Selected Delivery Option”). An estimated delivery time will be listed for your Selected Delivery Option. JB Hi-Fi will use reasonable endeavours to deliver the Goods in your Order by the estimated delivery time for the Selected Delivery Option. If certain Goods in your Order are out of stock, the Selected Delivery Option will list different estimated delivery times for those out of stock Goods. Please note that the estimated delivery time for your Selected Delivery Option is an approximate delivery time only and is not a guaranteed delivery time for your Order.

11.2 Until full payment in cleared funds is received by JB Hi-Fi for all Goods supplied by it to the you, legal title and property in all Goods supplied under this contract remain vested in JB Hi-Fi and does not pass to the you.

11.3 Risk in the Goods passes to you on the date and time of delivery of the Goods to the delivery address provided in your Order.

11.4 Goods will generally only be delivered to addresses within Australia. JB Hi-Fi is unable to deliver to certain parts of Australia and where this is the case you will not be able to process your Order. JB Hi-Fi may, in its absolute discretion, agree to accept Orders for delivery outside Australia but is under no obligation to do so.

11.5 Following dispatch of your Goods, JB Hi-Fi will email you with confirmation of dispatch and an invoice for your Order.

11.6 Not all delivery options described in this Section are available for all Orders or on all Accounts.

Parcel Delivery

11.7 Where requested, JB Hi-Fi will deliver to PO Boxes or Postal Lockers in Australia where possible based on the size of the Goods. Where it is not possible to deliver the Goods to a PO Box or Postal Locker and you have input a PO Box or Postal Locker as the delivery address when placing your Order, JB Hi-Fi will call you to arrange an alternative delivery address.

11.8 On delivery you may be required to sign a proof of delivery document. If you are not available to take delivery, we will ,at our discretion, either :

      1. take your Goods to our delivery service provider’s local depots;
      2. ask you if you are willing to give us “authority to leave” the Goods at a place that you believe is safe at, or outside, the delivery address;
      3. take your Goods to a JB Hi-Fi nominated alternate delivery point that is close to your delivery address (e.g. pharmacy, petrol station, post office or newsagent); or
      4. re-deliver your Goods to your delivery address at a later date.

You will receive a text message and/or a calling card at your delivery address containing details of the local depot, alternate delivery point or contact details for you to arrange for re-delivery of your Goods. Please note that if you do not pick up your Goods from the nominated alternate delivery point within the period specified in the text message and/or calling card, your Goods will be taken to one of our delivery service provider’s local depots for you to pick up at your convenience. If you provide “authority to leave”, we will leave the Goods at the agreed place. Risk and title in Goods passes to you at this time and you will bear the risk of any loss or theft of the Goods.

11.9 If you require Goods that you have ordered to be re-directed to an address which is not the original Order address, and such Goods have already been dispatched, JB Hi-Fi will use reasonable endeavours to re-direct the Goods to your requested address and may charge you a reasonable fee for doing this.

On Demand Delivery

11.10 When you request On Demand Delivery you may be required to confirm if you will be at home at the time of the delivery or otherwise provide us with “authority to leave” and we will leave the Goods in the agreed place. Unless you have provided us with such “authority to leave”, on delivery you may be required to sign a proof of delivery document or provide the PIN sent to you in the confirmation SMS or email for your Order, or at the time you place your Order. If you have not provided us with “authority to leave” and you are not available to take delivery, your Goods will be returned to the store or our Distribution Centre and we will contact you to arrange for collection by you or re-delivery. If you provide us with “authority to leave”, delivery will be deemed to have occurred when we leave the Goods in the agreed place (and in accordance with Section 11.2, risk in the Goods passes to you at this time and you will bear the risk of any loss or theft of the Goods from this time onwards).

Big and Bulky Delivery

11.11 For delivery of big and bulky items, JB Hi-Fi’s Big and Bulky Delivery Terms and Conditions will also apply. If there is any inconsistency between these Terms and Conditions and JB Hi-Fi’s Big and Bulky Delivery Terms and Conditions, these terms will prevail to the extent of any inconsistency.

Vendor or Distributor Delivery

11.12 If the Goods the subject of a delivery are to be delivered to you directly from one of JB Hi-Fi’s distributors, suppliers and/ or vendors (“Direct Delivery”), then the terms and conditions applicable to that Direct Delivery will be the delivery terms and conditions of that relevant distributor, supplier and/ or vendor, as the case may be.

Pre-Orders

11.13 JB Hi-Fi’s arrangements with its suppliers means that JB Hi-Fi is only permitted to dispatch online Pre-Orders no earlier than one day prior to the official release date of the Goods offered for Pre-Order. Goods ordered:

      1. (a) up to 7 days prior to the official release date are (unless otherwise advised) guaranteed to be despatched from our warehouse no later than one day prior to the official release date, and will be delivered to your designated delivery address within Australia in accordance with your Selected Delivery Option for those Goods. If you have chosen to pick up those Goods in-store (i.e. the Click & Collect option) you can pick up the Goods at your nominated collection store on the release date; or
      2. (b) within 7 days prior to the official release date may only be despatched on or after the official release date. If you have chosen to pick up those Goods in store, the Goods may only be available to pick up at your nominated collection store after the release date.

Click & Collect

12.1 Many Goods can be picked up from a JB Hi-Fi store, or where the Goods are “big and bulky”, from a Distribution Centre, rather than being dispatched to you. Where you wish to do this, you will need to nominate this option when you place your Order. Please note that some Goods are not available for pick up from store or from a Distribution Centre.

12.2 Only the person who placed the relevant Order may pick-up the Goods ordered in-store or from a Distribution Centre, unless that person nominates another person to pick-up the Goods on his or her behalf. Where the Goods being picked-up include Restricted Goods, proof of age will be required to be produced by the person picking up the Goods.

12.3 When picking up Goods in store or at a Distribution Centre:

      1. you (or the relevant person who you nominate to pick-up the Goods on your behalf) must provide photo identification (current drivers licence, passport or Keypass) to staff to verify that the person collecting the goods is either the purchaser or the person nominated by purchaser to pick-up the Goods. If requested, you (or the relevant person who you nominate to pick-up the Goods on your behalf) must allow JB Hi-Fi to take a copy of this identification for fraud prevention purposes. The copy will not be used by JB Hi-Fi for any other purpose or disclosed to any person outside of JB Hi-Fi; JB Hi-Fi staff may also check your signature against the signature on any credit/debit/payment card used to purchase the Goods. You must therefore ensure that you bring this card when picking up the Goods;
      2. you (or the relevant person who you nominate to pick-up the Goods on your behalf) will also need to bring the email or SMS that JB Hi-Fi has sent to you confirming that the stock is available for pick-up; and
      3. JB Hi-Fi staff have the right to refuse collection of Goods if you (or the relevant person who you nominate to pick-up the Goods on your behalf) cannot or will not satisfy the requirements set out above. In this event JB Hi-Fi will contact the person who placed the Order using the contact details provided.

12.4 When picking up “big and bulky” Goods at a Distribution Centre or in-store:

  1. you must ensure your vehicle is appropriate for transporting your Goods. The law requires that the Goods are adequately restrained so you should bring appropriate restraints to safely secure your load;
  2. your Order confirmation must be presented for collection, and you will be asked to sign that you have received your Goods in good condition;
  3. manufacturers usually recommend that TVs & whitegoods are transported upright to avoid damage. JB Hi-Fi accepts no responsibility for any loss, damage or liability suffered by you due to the way in which the Goods are loaded or transported by you. JB Hi-Fi team members may help to load Goods into your vehicle (but not onto the roof or roof racks) if requested and they believe it is safe to do so, and may provide suggestions to you as to ways to transport your Goods in order to avoid damage. However, you are entirely responsible for ensuring that the Goods are loaded and transported in accordance with relevant road traffic/safety laws and in a way which does not result in damage to the Goods;
  4. JB Hi-Fi does not provide forklifts when loading and will not assist with roof top loading;
  5. if you have any concerns about picking-up your Goods, please call your store to arrange delivery.


13. DELAY IN AVAILABILITY OR DELIVERY OF GOODS

13.1 You agree and acknowledge that:

  1. JB Hi-Fi does not guarantee the dispatch or delivery or availability of Goods within timeframes, estimated delivery times listed for the Delivery Options or the Selected Delivery Option for your Order, or any other timeframes or otherwise specified by JB Hi-Fi or any of its staff;
  2. stock availability and events outside JB Hi-Fi’s control (including adverse weather conditions, traffic conditions and governmental action) may cause delays, or in some circumstances, prevent your Goods from being delivered or available for pick-up in-store or at a Distribution Centre;
  3. delays are particularly likely to occur during busy sale periods such as those around Black Friday, Christmas, Easter and public holidays; and
  4. if you are paying for the Goods on your JB Hi-Fi Business Credit Account and any payment due to JB Hi-Fi by you is overdue, then JB Hi-Fi may (without any liability to you) choose to delay delivery of any Goods that have been ordered by you but not yet delivered to you, despite the fact that JB Hi-Fi has previously accepted the order for those Goods.


14. REFUNDS OF YOUR MONEY

14.1 Where JB Hi-Fi is obliged to refund your payment pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, JB Hi-Fi aims to initiate your refund to your original payment method(s) within 2 business days (Monday – Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Melbourne time). The additional time that it takes for you to actually receive your refund will depend upon how quickly your financial institution or other payment provider processes the refund. Please note that if JB Hi-Fi is obliged to provide you a partial refund of your payment for specific Goods in your Order, we will only refund the component of the Delivery Charge relating to the Goods which are subject to the refund.

14.2 Where JB Hi-Fi is obliged to refund your payment pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and you have paid for the relevant Order using your JB Hi-Fi Business Credit Account JB Hi-Fi will credit your JB Hi-Fi Business Credit Account.


15. RETURNS/FAULTY OR DAMAGED GOODS

15.1 You should check your Goods as soon as they are delivered to you in order to ensure that: (i) they are what you ordered; and (ii) they are not damaged or faulty. If this is not the case you should contact JB Hi-Fi on jbbusiness@jbhifi.com.au as soon as possible. Where you are not a Consumer, if you fail to give notice to JB Hi-Fi of any problem or defect with the Order within 7 days of delivery, JB Hi-Fi reserves the right (acting reasonably and in good faith) not to accept return of the Goods or any liability for any alleged damage.

15.2 Except to the extent otherwise required by law or where the Goods are faulty (in which case Sections 15.5 - 15.7 apply), all returns of goods that have been correctly delivered to you in accordance with an Order must be approved in writing by JB Hi-Fi (“Approved Returns”). JB Hi-Fi reserves its absolute discretion to accept or reject requests for return of such Goods. Except to the extent otherwise required by law or where the Goods are faulty (in which case Sections 15.5 - 15.7 apply), bespoke, indent or customer Orders will not be accepted for return under any circumstances. Approved Returns must be freight prepaid by you. JB Hi-Fi will credit or refund you for Approved Returns only if they are in saleable condition (as reasonably determined by JB Hi-Fi) upon return and then only upon conditions acceptable to JB Hi-Fi and at your entire cost and provided the goods are and remain sealed in a manner in which they were delivered and accompanied by documentation showing:

      • customer name, address and account number;
      • invoice number; and
      • the reason for return and copy of approval issued by JB Hi-Fi.

Approved Returns are at your risk as to loss or damage until such time as the goods reach JB Hi-Fi’s place of business.

15.3 Our goods usually come with warranties from the manufacturer. Your rights under these warranties are governed by the specific terms of the warranty. JB Hi-Fi has no liability to you in respect of such warranties

15.4 Except where you are a Consumer, JB Hi-Fi is not liable for any loss (including special, indirect or consequential loss, loss of profits, loss of business, loss of reputation, loss of goodwill, loss of opportunity arising or loss caused by the negligence of JB Hi-Fi) suffered or incurred by you in connection with any act or omission of JB Hi-Fi in relation to an Order.

15.5 In respect of goods supplied under these Terms and Conditions, subject to Section 15.6, if you are a Consumer and are purchasing goods which are not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption, the liability of JB Hi-Fi for loss, however caused (including by the negligence of JB Hi-Fi), suffered or incurred by you because of a failure to comply with a Consumer Guarantee is limited to JB Hi-Fi (at its election):

      1. replacing the goods or supplying equivalent goods;
      2. repairing the goods;
      3. paying the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods; or
      4. paying the cost of having the goods repaired.

15.6 Section 15.5 does not apply if it is not fair or reasonable for JB Hi-Fi to rely on them, if the goods are Consumer Goods, or in relation to Title Guarantees.

15.7 When you are entitled to return faulty Goods:

  1. please provide JB Hi-Fi with your proof of purchase;
  2. it is a requirement for the fulfilment of refunds, exchanges and warranties that you use their best endeavours to return all out-of-the-box accessories (such as power cords and batteries) supplied at the time of original purchase.

You are also encouraged to use the original packaging where possible in order to avoid damage in transit.

15.8 You are not entitled to any refund or exchange just because any packaging is damaged in transit. The packaging exists to protect the Goods themselves.

15.9 If Goods are unused but have been unpacked, we may, at our absolute discretion, accept return of the Goods in the event of a change of mind provided they are in perfect condition. However, in such cases we will not refund any Delivery Charge, and you must pay for us to pick up the goods if you are unable to return the Goods to a JB Hi-Fi store and we will apply a restocking fee equal to 20% of the original purchase price.

22.4 In addition to the price for the Goods and the Delivery Charge (if any) you may also need to pay any additional delivery charges which are not shown in your shopping cart but which we incur because you live in an area where light aircraft or barge transport is required, or to which our national courier company does not provide a door-to-door service (“Additional Delivery Charge”). These include, without limitation, Christmas Island, Norfolk Island, Roma and Nhulunbuy. Such charges may apply even where the item is shown on the Website as having “free delivery”, “free freight” or something similar.

22.5 If you live in an area to which an Additional Delivery Charge will apply JB Hi-Fi will contact you before accepting your Order and provide you with a quote for the Additional Delivery Charge.

24. ORDERS

24.1 You can place an Order by following the instructions on the relevant JB Hi-Fi website.

24.2 An Order submitted by you is an offer by you to purchase the Goods for the price plus the Delivery Charge as shown at the time of submission of your Order and any applicable Additional Delivery Charge. JB Hi-Fi may accept or reject your offer in its absolute discretion. In particular, but without limitation, JB Hi-Fi may reject Orders from individuals who are not entitled to us the Website by virtue of their status or under a special offer. If you are not entitled to use the Website please visit www.jbhifi.com.au to purchase Goods from JB Hi-Fi.

24.3 Each Order that you place will, if accepted by JB Hi-Fi, be a separate and binding agreement between you and JB Hi-Fi with respect to the supply of the relevant Goods, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

24.4 If you place an Order for someone else to receive the Goods you must obtain their consent before providing JB Hi-Fi with their personal information and, by placing an Order, you confirm to JB Hi-Fi that you have done this.

24.5 Sale of Restricted Goods is subject to various Commonwealth, State and Territory laws. By placing an Order for any Restricted Goods you warrant to JB Hi-Fi that you are:

  1. 18 years of age or older, where you Order products that are classified R18+; and
  2. 15 years of age or older, where you Order products that are classified R15+.

When placing an Order for Restricted Goods you warrant that you are not obtaining the Restricted Goods on behalf of a person that is not eligible to purchase the Restricted Goods themselves.

24.6 Please ensure that you enter all information carefully when placing an Order. You warrant to JB Hi-Fi that all information provided by you in relation to each Order is complete, true and accurate.

24.7 Please check your Order and Selected Delivery Option carefully (including the quantities ordered) before submitting it as Orders may not be able to be changed or cancelled once the Order has been accepted by JB Hi-Fi. If you ask us to cancel or change your Order JB Hi-Fi will use reasonable endeavours to cancel or change the Order if it has not already been shipped but makes no representation that it will be able to do this.

24.8 Where you place separate Orders the Goods will be delivered separately and a separate Delivery Charge (and Additional Delivery Charge if applicable) will apply to each Order. JB Hi-Fi cannot consolidate separate Orders into one delivery.

24.9 Where you order more than one item in one Order, all Goods for which your Order is accepted at the same time will be dispatched together where practicable. However, in some cases Goods may be dispatched separately, for example: where the goods are being dispatched from different locations; or where the Goods are of different types (e.g. a mixture of hardware and software); or where the Goods have different availability statuses. Please note that a Delivery Charge is calculated based on several factors including the Good’s weight, dimensions, packaging, the number of delivery shipments required and the Selected Delivery Option.

24.10 The internet can be an unstable, and sometimes insecure, marketplace. At times the facility to place Orders may not be available, your Order might not be received, your Order may be lost or misdirected, or your Order might be delayed.

24.11 You must take your own precautions to ensure that the process which you employ for accessing the Website does not expose you to risk of viruses, malicious computer code or other forms of interference which may damage your computer system and contains appropriate protection to prevent damage to your computer system caused by viruses, malicious computer code or other forms of interference.

24.12 You may only place an Order for Goods to be used in connection with your Business or for your personal use. You are not permitted to resell any Goods purchased unless authorised by JB Hi-Fi in writing in advance. The unauthorised resale or attempted resale of any Goods will be considered a breach of these Terms and Conditions.


25. AFTER YOU HAVE SUBMITTED AN ORDER / PAYMENT

25.1 When you submit an Order you will receive an Order reference number via email.

25.2 JB Hi-Fi will process payment for your Order when, or shortly after, you place your Order.

25.3 Upon receipt of an Order JB Hi-Fi will email you an Order confirmation email containing your Order reference number, the price for the Goods, any Delivery Charge and any Additional Delivery Charge. At this point your Order has been accepted by JB Hi-Fi subject to stock availability. A copy of your invoice will be available on the Order History page on your Account.

25.4 If JB Hi-Fi is unable to fulfil your Order it will send you an email cancelling your Order as soon as practicable. In this event, JB Hi-Fi will refund any payment taken for your Order in accordance with Section 31.

25.5 When your Goods are dispatched JB Hi-Fi will send you an email confirming that the Goods have been dispatched.

25.6 When JB Hi-Fi accepts an Order it represents an agreement by JB Hi-Fi to supply the Goods to you in accordance with your Order subject to receiving payment from you and subject to these terms and conditions.

25.7 You must pay for Goods by credit card, certain prepaid payment cards, PayPal account or any interest free plan available on the Website. Subject to any transaction value conditions stipulated by your Bank, you may also pay for those Goods using PayID (subject to the relevant Bank’s Terms and Conditions).

25.8 You must not pay, or attempt to pay, for Goods through any fraudulent or unlawful means. If the name on the credit card/payment card/account does not match the name on the Order, JB Hi-Fi may refuse to accept your order or ask you to provide additional information (for example, proof of identity documents) in accordance with its fraud detection processes. By providing your credit card/payment card/account or selecting one of the other available payment methods you authorise JB Hi-Fi to deduct the price and the applicable Delivery Charge(s) from such card or payment methods.

25.9 JB Hi-Fi reserves the right to change the payment methods that can be used for Orders at any time in its absolute discretion.

25.10 JB Hi-Fi may not be able to, or may decline to, accept payment from you by your nominated payment method: (a) where our fraud detection systems detect possible irregularities; (b) because your financial institution or other payment provider has declined payment; (c) because your payment card has expired; or (d) because the Order would result in you exceeding the credit limit under your JB Hi-Fi Business trade credit account; (e) where technical difficulties impact our ability to process payment; or (f) in any other situation if JB Hi-Fi believes, acting reasonably, that this is necessary to protect you or JB Hi-Fi from fraud or loss. Where this is the case, JB Hi-Fi reserves the right to cancel your Order and/or place your Order on hold and request you to ask you to provide additional information (for example, proof of identity documents) or arrange payment by another method. If you are unable to comply with JB Hi-Fi’s requests within the timescale specified, JB Hi-Fi may cancel your Order.

25.11 When you submit an Order, JB Hi-Fi may complete a pre-authorisation of the full value of the Order. A pre-authorisation is a practice of validating electronic transactions by holding the value of the Order unavailable until either the merchant charges the account or the transaction is cancelled. If an Order is cancelled (for example, because our fraud detection system has detected a possible irregularity), any pre-authorisation may still appear in your account as a pending transaction for a period of time, which will vary depending on your financial institution (e.g. 7 to 30 days). After such time, the funds will become available again for you to use.

25.12 Goods that you have ordered will not be dispatched to you until your payment for the Goods has cleared. If your payment cannot be processed, your Order will be rejected and we will notify you by email.


26. CANCELLATION OF ORDERS

26.1 JB Hi-Fi reserves the right to cancel, at any time before delivery, an Order that it has previously accepted where:

  1. JB Hi-Fi, acting in good faith, is unable to obtain sufficient quantities of stock to fulfill your Order within a reasonable timeframe;
  2. an event beyond JB Hi-Fi’s control, such as storm, fire, flood, earthquake, terrorism, power failure, war, strike, pandemic, government action or failure or problems with the Internet or third-party computer systems, means that JB Hi-Fi is unable to supply the Goods within a reasonable time;
  3. Goods or services ordered were subject to an accidental error on the Website, for example, in relation to a description, price, reward or image, which was not discovered prior to the Order being dispatched;
  4. you ask JB Hi-Fi to cancel your Order in accordance with Section 24.7; or
  5. in the circumstances set out in Section 25.11.

26.2 You may cancel your Order where JB Hi-Fi:

  1. has breached a material term of this Agreement; or
  2. is not able to deliver your Order within a reasonable time of the estimated delivery time listed on the Website for the applicable Selected Delivery Option, other than a result of any delay: (i) for which you are wholly or partly responsible such as a failure to provide the correct delivery address or to pay for the Goods.

26.3 Where JB Hi-Fi cancels your order after acceptance it will send you and e-mail notifying you of the cancellation.

26.4 In the event JB Hi-Fi, or you, cancelling your Order after payment has been processed, JB Hi-Fi will refund any money paid in respect of that Order. Section 31 of these Terms and Conditions sets out further information about refunds.


27. AVAILABILITY OF GOODS/REFURBISHED STOCK

27.1 As JB Hi-Fi is dependent upon its Suppliers to provide stock, JB Hi-Fi cannot guarantee availability at all times. You acknowledge and agree that, from time to time, certain Goods may be out of stock or unavailable. JB Hi-Fi reserves the right to withdraw or suspend from sale any Goods displayed on the Website, either temporarily or permanently, at any time without notice to you. Except to the extent otherwise required by law (including, without limitation, the Australian Consumer Law), JB Hi-Fi will not be liable to you, or any other person, for any loss, damage, cost or expense suffered as a direct or indirect result of the unavailability of any Goods at any time, whether in contract, negligence or any other tort, equity, restitution, strict liability, under statute or otherwise at all.

27.2 After you place an Order, if there are any changes in available stock and JB Hi-Fi is unable to fulfil your Order, you will be notified as soon as possible.

27.3 Goods that are shown on the Website as “Refurbished Stock” are Goods which have a cosmetic blemish or imperfection such as a scratch, dent or rub mark, have had a fault that has now been repaired by the manufacturer, or are ex-display models. All Refurbished Stock is in good working order and comes with the standard manufacturer’s warranty in addition to any statutory rights which may apply.


28. DELIVERY

28.1 When you place an Order for Goods to be delivered, you will be required to select one of the available Delivery Options for your Order (“Selected Delivery Option”). An estimated delivery time will be listed for your Selected Delivery Option. JB Hi-Fi will use reasonable endeavours to deliver the Goods in your Order by the estimated delivery time for the Selected Delivery Option. If certain Goods in your Order are out of stock, the Selected Delivery Option will list different estimated delivery times for those out of stock Goods. Please note that the estimated delivery time for your Selected Delivery Option is an approximate delivery time only and is not a guaranteed delivery time for your Order.

28.2 Title and risk in the Goods passes to you on the date and time of delivery of the Goods to the delivery address provided in your Order.

28.3 Goods will generally only be delivered to addresses within Australia. JB Hi-Fi is unable to deliver to certain parts of Australia and where this is the case you will not be able to process your Order. JB Hi-Fi may, in its absolute discretion, agree to accept Orders for delivery outside Australia but is under no obligation to do so.

28.4 Following dispatch of your Goods, JB Hi-Fi will email you with confirmation of dispatch and an invoice for your Order.

28.5 Not all delivery options described in this Section are available for all Orders or on all Accounts.

Parcel Delivery

28.6 Where requested, JB Hi-Fi will deliver to PO Boxes or Postal Lockers in Australia where possible based on the size of the Goods. Where it is not possible to deliver the Goods to a PO Box or Postal Locker and you have input a PO Box or Postal Locker as the delivery address when placing your Order, JB Hi-Fi will call you to arrange an alternative delivery address.

28.7 On delivery you may be required to sign a proof of delivery document. If you are not available to take delivery we will at our discretion, either:

  1. take your Goods to our delivery service provider’s local depots;
  2. ask you if you are willing to give us “authority to leave” the Goods at a place that you believe is safe at, or outside, the delivery address;
  3. take your Goods to a JB Hi-Fi nominated alternate delivery point that is close to your delivery address (e.g. pharmacy, petrol station, post office or newsagent); or
  4. re-deliver your Goods to your delivery address at a later date.

28.8 You will receive a text message and/or a calling card at your delivery address containing details of the local depot, alternate delivery point or contact details for you to arrange for re-delivery of your Goods. Please note that if you do not pick up your Goods from the nominated alternate delivery point within the period specified in the text message and/or calling card, your Goods will be taken to one of our delivery service provider’s local depots for you to pick up at your convenience. If you provide “authority to leave”, we will leave the Goods at the agreed place. Risk and title in Goods passes to you at this time and you will bear the risk of any loss or theft of the Goods.

28.9 If you require Goods that you have ordered to be re-directed to an address which is not the original Order address, and such Goods have already been dispatched, JB Hi-Fi will use reasonable endeavours to re-direct the Goods to your requested address and JB Hi-Fi may charge you a reasonable fee for doing this.

On Demand Delivery

28.10 When you request On Demand Delivery you may be required to confirm if you will be at home at the time of the delivery or otherwise provide us with “authority to leave” and we will leave the Goods in the agreed place. Unless you have provided us with such “authority to leave”, on delivery you may be required to sign a proof of delivery document or provide the PIN sent to you in the confirmation SMS or email for your Order, or at the time you place your Order. If you have not provided us with “authority to leave” and you are not available to take delivery, your Goods will be returned to the store and we will contact you to arrange for collection by you or re-delivery. If you provide us with “authority to leave”, delivery will be deemed to have occurred when we leave the Goods in the agreed place (and in accordance with Section 28.2, risk and title in Goods passes to you at this time and you will bear the risk of any loss or theft of the Goods from this time onwards).

Big and Bulky Deliver

28.11 For delivery of big and bulky items, JB Hi-Fi’s Big and Bulky Delivery Terms and Conditions will also apply. If there is any inconsistency between these Terms and Conditions and JB Hi-Fi’s Big and Bulky Delivery Terms and Conditions, these terms will prevail to the extent of any inconsistency.

Vendor or Distributor Delivery

28.12 If the Goods the subject of a delivery are to be delivered to you directly from one of JB Hi-Fi’s distributors, suppliers and/ or vendors (“Direct Delivery”), then the terms and conditions applicable to that Direct Delivery will be the delivery terms and conditions of that relevant distributor, supplier and/ or vendor, as the case may be.

Pre-Orders

28.13 JB Hi-Fi’s arrangements with its suppliers means that JB Hi-Fi is only permitted to dispatch online Pre-Orders no earlier than one day prior to the official release date of the Goods offered for Pre-Order. Goods ordered:

  1. up to 7 days prior to the official release date are (unless otherwise advised) guaranteed to be despatched from our warehouse no later than one day prior to the official release date, and will be delivered to your designated delivery address within Australia in accordance with your Selected Delivery Option for those Goods. If you have chosen to pick up those Goods in-store (i.e. the Click & Collect option) you can pick up the Goods at your nominated collection store on the release date; or
  2. within 7 days prior to the official release date may only be despatched on or after the official release date. If you have chosen to pick up those Goods in store, the Goods may only be available to pick up at your nominated collection store after the release date.


29. Click & Collect

29.1 Many Goods can be picked up from a JB Hi-Fi store, or where the Goods are “big and bulky”, from a Distribution Centre, rather than being dispatched to you. Where you wish to do this you will need to nominate this option when you place your Order. Please note that some Goods are not available for pick up from store or from a Distribution Centre.

29.2 Only the person who placed the relevant Order may pick-up the Goods ordered in-store or from a Distribution Centre, unless that person nominates another person to pick-up the Goods on his or her behalf. Where the Goods being picked-up include Restricted Goods, proof of age will be required to be produced by the person picking up the Goods.

29.3 When picking up Goods in store or at a Distribution Centre:

  1. you (or the relevant person who you nominate to pick-up the Goods on your behalf) must provide photo identification (current drivers licence, passport or Keypass) to store staff to verify that the person collecting the goods is either the purchaser or the person nominated by purchaser to pick-up the Goods. If requested, you (or the relevant person who you nominate to pick-up the Goods on your behalf) must allow JB Hi-Fi to take a copy of this identification for fraud prevention purposes. The copy will not be used by JB Hi-Fi for any other purpose or disclosed to any person outside of JB Hi-Fi; JB Hi-Fi staff may also check your signature against the signature on any credit/debit/payment card used to purchase the Goods. You must therefore ensure that you bring this card when picking up the Goods;
  1. you (or the relevant person who you nominate to pick-up the Goods on your behalf) will also need to bring the email or SMS that JB Hi-Fi has sent to you confirming that the stock is available for pick-up; and
  2. JB Hi-Fi staff have the right to refuse collection of Goods if you (or the relevant person who you nominate to pick-up the Goods on your behalf) cannot or will not satisfy the requirements set out above. In this event JB Hi-Fi will contact the person who placed the Order using the contact details provided.

29.4 When picking up “big and bulky” Goods at a Distribution Centre or in-store:

  1. you must ensure your vehicle is appropriate for transporting your Goods. The law requires that the Goods are adequately restrained so you should bring appropriate restraints to safely secure your load;
  2. your Order confirmation must be presented for collection, and you will be asked to sign that you have received your Goods in good condition;
  3. manufacturers usually recommend that TVs & whitegoods are transported upright to avoid damage. JB Hi-Fi accepts no responsibility for any loss, damage or liability suffered by you due to the way in which the Goods are loaded or transported by you. JB Hi-Fi team members may help to load Goods into your vehicle (but not onto the roof or roof racks) if requested and they believe it is safe to do so, and may provide suggestions to you as to ways to transport your Goods in order to avoid damage. However, you are entirely responsible for ensuring that the Goods are loaded and transported in accordance with relevant road traffic/safety laws and in a way which does not result in damage to the Goods;
  4. JB Hi-Fi does not provide forklifts when loading and will not assist with roof top loading;
  5. if you have any concerns about picking-up your Goods, please call your store to arrange delivery.


30. DELAY IN AVAILABILITY OR DELIVERY OF GOODS

30.1 You agree and acknowledge that:

  1. JB Hi-Fi does not guarantee the dispatch or delivery or availability of Goods within the timeframes, estimated delivery times listed for the Delivery Options or the Selected Delivery Option for your Order, or any other timeframes or otherwise specified by JB Hi-Fi or any of its staff;
  2. stock availability and events outside JB Hi-Fi’s control (including adverse weather conditions, traffic conditions and governmental action) may cause delays, or in some circumstances, prevent your Goods from being delivered or available for pick-up in-store or at a Distribution Centre or available for pick-up in store; and
  3. delays are particularly likely to occur during busy sale periods such as those around Black Friday, Christmas, Easter and public holidays.


31. REFUNDS OF YOUR MONEY

31.1 Where JB Hi-Fi is obliged to refund your payment pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, JB Hi-Fi aims to initiate your refund to your original payment method(s) within 2 business days (Monday – Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Melbourne time). The additional time that it takes for you to actually receive your refund will depend upon how quickly your financial institution or other payment provider processes the refund. Please note that if JB Hi-Fi is obliged to provide you a partial refund of your payment for specific Goods in your Order, we will only refund the component of the Delivery Charge relating to the Goods which are subject to the refund.


32. RETURNS/FAULTY OR DAMAGED GOODS

32.1 You should check your Goods as soon as they are delivered to you in order to ensure that: (i) they are what you ordered; and (ii) they are not damaged or faulty. If this is not the case you should contact JB Hi-Fi on jbbusiness@jbhifi.com.au as soon as possible. Where you are not a Consumer, if you fail to give notice to JB Hi-Fi of any problem or defect with the Order within 7 days of delivery, JB Hi-Fi reserves the right (acting reasonably and in good faith) not to accept return of the Goods or any liability for any alleged damage.

32.2 Except to the extent otherwise required by law or where the Goods are faulty (in which case Sections 32.4 - 32.6 apply), all returns of goods that have been correctly delivered to you in accordance with an Order must be approved in writing by JB Hi-Fi (“Approved Returns”). JB Hi-Fi reserves its absolute discretion to accept or reject requests for return of such Goods. Except to the extent otherwise required by law or where the Goods are faulty (in which case Sections 32.4 - 32.6 apply), bespoke, indent or customer Orders will not be accepted for return under any circumstances. Approved Returns must be freight prepaid by you. JB Hi-Fi will credit or refund you for Approved Returns only if they are in saleable condition (as reasonably determined by JB Hi-Fi) upon return and then only upon conditions acceptable to JB Hi-Fi and at your entire cost and provided the goods are and remain sealed in a manner in which they were delivered and accompanied by documentation showing:

  • customer name, address and account number;
  • invoice number; and
  • the reason for return and copy of approval issued by JB Hi-Fi.

Approved Returns are at your risk as to loss or damage until such time as the goods reach JB Hi-Fi’s place of business.

32.3 Our goods usually come with warranties from the manufacturer. Your rights under these warranties are governed by the specific terms of the warranty. JB Hi-Fi has no liability to you in respect of such warranties.

32.4 In respect of goods supplied under these Terms and Conditions, subject to Section 32.5, if you are a Consumer and are purchasing goods which are not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption, the liability of JB Hi-Fi for loss, however caused (including by the negligence of JB Hi-Fi), suffered or incurred by you because of a failure to comply with a Consumer Guarantee is limited to JB Hi-Fi (at its election):

  1. replacing the goods or supplying equivalent goods;
  2. repairing the goods;
  3. paying the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods; or
  4. payign the cost of having the goods repaired.

32.5 Section 32.4 does not apply if ti is not fair or reasonable for JB Hi-Fi to reply on them, if the goods are Consumer Goods, or in relation to Title Guarantees.

32.6 When you are entitled to return faulty Goods:

  1. please provide JB Hi-Fi with your proof of purchase;
  2. it is a requirement for the fulfilment of refunds, exchanges and warranties that you use their best endeavours to return all out-of-the-box accessories (such as power cords and batteries) supplied at the time of original purchase.

You are also encouraged to use the original packaging where possible in order to avoid damage in transit.

32.7 You are not entitled to any refund or exchange just because any packaging is damaged in transit. The packaging exists to protect the Goods themselves.

32.8 If Goods are unused but have been unpacked, we may, at our absolute discretion, accept return of the Goods in the event of a change of mind provided they are in perfect condition. However, in such cases we will not refund any Delivery Charge, and you must pay for us to pick up the goods if you are unable to return the Goods to a JB Hi-Fi store and we will apply a restocking fee equal to 20% of the original purchase price.
