Online Terms of Sale

Orders

1.    By placing an order ("Order") on this site ("Site”) you are making an offer to Sony Australia Limited (ABN 59 001 215 354) ("Sony") to purchase the products listed in your shopping cart on the Site at that time ("Products") upon the terms set out in these terms of sale ("Sale Terms").

2.    By placing an Order, you warrant that you are over the age of 18 years. Sony may reject an Order or rescind a purchase contract if it becomes aware that you are not over the age of 18 years.

3.    These Sale Terms supersede any other terms relating to the sale of the Products appearing on the Site or elsewhere and shall override any other terms referred to by you or in any course of dealing. Upon acceptance of an Order, these Sale Terms constitute the entire contract between us and you for the supply of the relevant Products.

4.    Sony's Privacy Policy and, to the extent they are applicable, the Terms of Use of this Site form part of, and are hereby incorporated into, these Sale Terms. 

5.    Sony reserves the right to accept or reject your Order for any reason, including, without limitation, an error in your Order or in the material on the Site, failure of your payment, or the unavailability of a Product. The contract to purchase a particular Product only comes into existence upon acceptance by Sony of your Order.

6.    After submitting an Order, the Site will display an order summary including an order reference number and details of the Product(s) you have ordered ("Order Summary"). The Order Summary does not mean your Order has been accepted by us.

7.    All Orders are subject to acceptance by Sony of your offer to purchase the Product(s). Sony will only be deemed to have accepted your offer to purchase a Product when we send you an email with your invoice confirming that your Order is on its way (a "Despatch Confirmation"). The purchase contract formed by this acceptance will relate only to those Products whose despatch we have confirmed in the Despatch Confirmation. You may cancel your Order at any time and receive a refund before you receive your Despatch Confirmation by contacting Sony customer support.  Sony will not be obliged to supply other Products which may have been part of your Order until the despatch of those Products has been confirmed in a Despatch Confirmation.  Some Products forming part of your offer to purchase may not be able to be accepted by Sony due to your location being outside Sony’s delivery network. Please refer to clauses 17 – 23 generally for further terms regarding delivery, including delivery by instalments. 

8.    In limited cases, Product(s) forming part of your Order may become unavailable, for example due to an unanticipated stock shortage or where Product(s) cannot be delivered due to factors or an event beyond Sony's reasonable control, such as (but not limited to) pandemic, storm, flood, earthquake, terrorism, war, strike, power failure or failure of computer systems. In these circumstances, Sony will make reasonable efforts to notify you of this as soon as possible after becoming aware of it, and Sony reserves the right to:

(a)    rescind the purchase contract, cancel your Order, where all of the Products in the Order are or become unavailable; or 

(b)    cancel part of your Order, if some of the Products in the Order are or become unavailable (in which case the part of the Order cancelled will be confined to those Products which are or become unavailable). 

9.    In addition, Sony also reserves the right to cancel your Order and rescind the purchase contract where: 

(a)    there has been a genuine error in a Product's price, description or image on this Site; 

(b)    you have engaged in, or Sony reasonably suspects that you have engaged in, fraud (or any other illegal activity) in connection with the Order; or 

(c)    you have engaged in conduct that is in material breach of these Sale Terms and/or the Terms of Use. 

10.    If Sony cancels your Order in accordance with clauses 7, 8(a), or 9 above, Sony will refund any amounts you have paid for the Order as soon as reasonably possible. If Sony cancels part of your Order in accordance with clause 8(b) above, Sony will refund any amounts you have paid for those parts of the Order that were cancelled as soon as reasonably possible.   Where Sony cancels part of your Order in accordance with clause 8(b), and you no longer wish to proceed with the rest of the Order, you may ask Sony to cancel the entire Order at any time prior to receiving a Despatch Confirmation and receive a refund for the full value of the entire Order.  

11.    Sony may appoint subcontractors to supply or deliver the Products and to perform any act of Sony contemplated under these Sale Terms.

12.    Products are subject to availability. In the event of shortage, Sony may allocate sales and deliveries in its discretion, acting reasonably.

13.    Sony will only accept Orders if the delivery address is a street address in Australia.

14.    Sony reserves the right to limit the quantity of Products purchased by you.

15.    Sony may update or discontinue any Product and / or revise prices for any Product listed as available on the Site at any time without notice to you. Subject to clause 9(a) (genuine pricing errors), the price displayed at the time that you place your Order will continue to apply to you even if the price changes after you place your Order but before your Order is accepted by Sony.

16.    The price of a Product shall be as stipulated on the Site at the time of placement of your Order. Unless otherwise indicated on the Site, all prices include all Australian taxes. 

Delivery

17.    In addition to the price for the Products, you must also pay the listed delivery charge (if any) ("Delivery Charge") for your Order. Any Delivery Charge will be shown in your shopping cart. By placing an Order, you agree to pay the price for the Product(s) and any Delivery Charge.

18.    If you choose for your Order to be delivered to a location other than a Sony store, delivery shall be made to the address nominated in your Order ("Delivery Address"). Sony will not deliver to PO boxes or parcel lockers. Sony has the right to select the method of delivery and the carrier. Sony will be deemed to have delivered the Product(s) to you when we deliver them to the Delivery Address. Delivery may be made by instalments, at the sole option of Sony.

19.    Any dates quoted by Sony or its subcontractors for delivery of the Products are estimates only and shall not form part of the Sale Terms.  Other than orders for custom-made Products (such as customised lenses), in the event of delays beyond your estimated delivery date, you may contact Sony to cancel your Order at any time prior to receiving your Despatch Confirmation and obtain a refund.

20.    Sony must receive full payment of the price of the Products ordered, and any other charges (including delivery or freight charges) that may apply to your Order, before they are delivered or supplied to you. You shall pay for the Products by using one of the payment methods available on the Site.

21.    Where the Products are to be delivered by instalments (that is separate shipments), each shipment shall be deemed to be the subject of a separate agreement and no default or failure by Sony or its subcontractors in respect of any one or more shipments shall void the contract in respect of the Products previously delivered or undelivered Products. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in the event that Sony or its subcontractors give notice to you that it is unable to deliver any shipment of the Products, you shall be deemed to have accepted those shipments already delivered but Sony or its subcontractors may reimburse the price of the undelivered Products which have been paid for by you. In addition, where Sony is unable to deliver any shipment of your Order, and this shipment relates to and is dependent on an earlier shipment of the Order (for example, an Order for a camera and compatible lens), you will be offered the option to either: (a) cancel the outstanding instalment of your Order and receive a refund for that outstanding shipment, or (b) cancel the entire Order and receive a full refund for all shipments (refund for the earlier shipment will be provided upon the earlier shipment being returned in unopened and unused condition to Sony).

22.    If you fail to take delivery of the Products or any part of them when they are made available to you, or fail to provide accurate instructions, documents, licenses, consents or authorizations required to enable the Products to be delivered, Sony or its subcontractors shall be entitled, upon giving written notice to you, to store or arrange for storage of the Products and delivery shall be deemed to have taken place. Sony or its subcontractors may pass on its reasonable costs and expenses (including storage and insurance charges) to you.

23.    Risk of loss or damage to the Products shall pass to you upon the physical delivery of the Products to the Delivery Address. Title to the Products shall pass to you when Sony receives payment for those Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Products consist of software, title shall remain with the applicable Iicensor(s).

Returns and your rights

24.    View our returns information here.

25.    Consumers who acquire goods or services have a range of rights under consumer guarantees set out in the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded or modified ("Consumer Guarantees"). Nothing in these Sale Terms is intended to exclude or modify the application of these Consumer Guarantees.

26.    With the exception of Consumer Guarantees and any other rights that cannot by law be excluded ("Non-excludable Rights"), to the fullest extent permitted by law:

(a)    Sony excludes any term, condition, guarantee or warranty that may otherwise be implied into these Sale Terms;

(b)    Sony's liability for failure to comply with Non-excludable Rights (which cannot be excluded, but which can be limited in respect of goods or services that are not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption) is limited, at the option of Sony, to:

(i)    in the case of goods, the replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods, the repair of such goods, the payment of the cost of replacing the goods or acquiring equivalent goods, or the payment of the cost of having the goods repaired; and

(ii)    in the case of services, the supply of the services again or the payment of the cost of having services supplied again.

Your warranties

28.    Products are not authorised for use as critical components in life support systems or situations where failure to perform can reasonably be expected to cause significant injury to users or others. Unless expressly stated otherwise, Sony makes no representation and gives no warranty that any Products are fit for such a purpose.

29.    You agree and warrant that you are not purchasing the Products for resale or to remove components from the Products for resale. Sony shall be entitled to refuse to accept Orders placed by you if Sony on reasonable grounds suspects that you will breach this warranty.

Warranty

30.    Please visit our Warranties page here for information about warranties that may apply to your Product. These warranties are in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

Parallel important warning

31.    Sony is the authorised distributor of Sony branded computer, consumer electronic & media products in Australia. Recently we have observed other suppliers offering imported Sony product from overseas and selling through retail outlets, other dealerships as well as online via the Internet, etc., to Australian consumers.

32.    Consumers should exercise care when acquiring these products. Also, from time to time we have become aware of a growing number of "copy” of "fake" Sony products being brought into Australia and being sold the same way as above. In particular, consumers should:

(a)    Check that the product conforms with all Australian electrical safety standards;

(b)    Check that the product conform to Australian RF emission & Safety standards; 

(c)    Check if the product incorporates a tuner (TV's, VCR's, portable Audio, etc.), and if so does it properly support the Australian frequencies & broadcast formats;

(d)    Check that the seller will provide and honour the product warranty. Some products offered may not be carried by Sony Australia and we may be unable to help if the seller fails to honour the warranty;

(e)    Check that the product is definitely a "genuine" Sony product and not a "copy" or "fake".
