1. Definitions

In these Terms and Conditions:

  • "Seller" means Institute of Digital Dentistry Pty Ltd.
  • "Purchaser" means the person, company, or entity purchasing Items from the Seller.
  • "Items" means all goods, equipment, products, and materials supplied by the Seller.
  • "Software" means any software, firmware, or digital products supplied by the Seller.
  • "Agreement" means the contract formed by the Quote, Purchase Order, Contract of Sale, or online order confirmation together with these Terms and Conditions.
  • "ACL" means the Australian Consumer Law as set out in Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).

2. How These Terms Apply

These Terms and Conditions govern all purchases made from the Seller, whether completed online through the iDD Shop at idd.shop or through an offline sales process involving a sales representative, Quote, or Contract of Sale.

Where a purchase is made through a Contract of Sale signed with a sales representative, the Contract of Sale incorporates these Terms and Conditions by reference. In the event of any conflict between the printed terms on a Contract of Sale and these Terms and Conditions, these Terms and Conditions shall prevail unless the Contract of Sale expressly states otherwise in writing.

3. Currency

All prices, amounts, and payments referenced in this Agreement are in Australian Dollars (AUD) unless otherwise expressly stated in writing.

4. Title and Risk

The Seller retains title to all Items until payment has been received in full. The Purchaser assumes all risks related to the Items once they have been delivered to the Purchaser's premises or nominated delivery address. It is the Purchaser's responsibility to have all necessary insurance in place prior to delivery and installation.

5. Acceptance and Inspection

The Purchaser shall inspect all Items within seven (7) days of delivery. Any claims for shortages, defects, damage, or non-conformity must be reported to the Seller in writing within this seven (7) day period. Failure to report such issues within this timeframe shall constitute acceptance of the Items, and the Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the Items as being in good condition and in accordance with the Agreement.

Nothing in this clause limits or excludes any rights the Purchaser may have under the ACL.

6. Cancellation

A twenty percent (20%) restocking fee will be charged for cancellation of any regularly stocked Items. Special order Items or options cannot be cancelled. Special order Items include, but are not limited to, custom cabinetry, upholstery, and colour changes.

7. Payment and Charges

7.1 Payment Terms

Full payment is due on or before the delivery date. Only the cost of missing or defective Items (as reported in accordance with Section 5) may be withheld from full payment.

7.2 Late Payment

Past due balances are subject to a late payment charge of two percent (2%) per month (24% per annum), calculated from the due date until payment is received in full.

7.3 Payment Processing Fee

All prices include a three percent (3%) payment processing fee. Purchasers paying by Australian bank transfer (EFT/direct deposit) may deduct this fee from their payment. Credit card and debit card payments are to be made at the full invoiced amount.

7.4 GST

All prices are inclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST) where applicable, unless otherwise stated. The Seller will provide a valid tax invoice for all supplies made under this Agreement.

7.5 Delays Caused by the Purchaser

In the event that delivery or installation of the Items has been delayed, in whole or in part, for any reason attributable to the Purchaser or its contractors by thirty (30) days or more from the proposed delivery/installation date, full payment shall become immediately due and payable.

8. Australian Consumer Law

8.1 Consumer Guarantees

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also 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.

8.2 Manufacturer Warranties

In addition to your rights under the ACL, Items may be covered by additional manufacturer warranties. Details of any applicable manufacturer warranty will be provided with the product.

8.3 Labour Warranty

The Seller warrants labour performed by its own personnel for a period of ninety (90) days from the delivery date, unless otherwise stated in writing on the Quote or Purchase Order.

8.4 Exclusions

To the extent permitted by law, the Seller excludes all other warranties, guarantees, or representations, expressed or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. The Seller assumes no responsibility for, and does not warrant, installation work performed by persons other than its own personnel.

9. Returns and Defective Items

All returns require a return authorisation number issued by the Seller before any item is shipped back. The Seller does not accept unauthorised returns.

To request a return authorisation, the Purchaser must contact the Seller at shop@instituteofdigitaldentistry.com with the order reference, a description of the issue, a summary of troubleshooting steps already taken, and photographs where relevant. The Seller will respond within two (2) business days.

Where an Item is confirmed to be defective or damaged on arrival, the Seller will work with the manufacturer to arrange repair or replacement. The Seller does not accept returns on capital equipment for change of mind.

Nothing in this section limits or excludes any rights the Purchaser may have under the ACL.

The Seller's full Returns and Defective Items Policy is published at idd.shop and is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

10. High Tech Products

The integration of high-tech products may not be included in the purchase price. Due to the nature of these products, specialised training and support may be required at an additional cost, which will be quoted separately.

11. Software

In the event that the sale includes Software, the Seller agrees to provide a licence to use the Software and installation services. Except as may be provided for in a separate Software licence or use agreement provided by the Seller or its third-party suppliers:
